CHIEF BURKE ORDERS BOOZE ACTION;
SEIZE LIQUOR IN FEDERAL RAID HERE
"HOW DID DEMOCRATS GET
HIGH SCHOOL," G. 0.P. ASKS

There are murmurings OF dissatis-
faction among Republicans here be-
cause Of the Democratic meeting
held Monday night in the high
school auditorium-not because of
the fact that the Democrats staged
a big rally but that they were per-
mitted to use the school building on
this occasion.
When Senator Hiram johnson. of
California, spoke in this city during
his campaign last spring, efforts
were made by the Republicans, the
leaders say, to secure permission
from the Board of Education to use
the high school auditorium They
were Informed. however. that the
high school auditorium was not 10
be used for political purposes, they
claim.
The G.. o. P. leaders point out that
they would like to receive square
dea1~ from the members of the
Board of Education and that il the
high school auditorium is to be used
for political meetings they also
would like 10 benefit by the use Of
such as well as the Democrats. the
Republicans declare that their head
quarters are net large enough to
accommodate the crowds that attend
their meetings now that the women
had interested themselves in poll
tics and the Auditorium in New
Brunswick avenue, the next place
in which to hold a meeting Is too
large. AS the high school audito-
rum presents a medium between
the two the G. o. P. members intend
to find out why they too cannot use
the high school If the Democrats
are granted that permission.

HOME FOR AGED
EARNSSUPPORT
Plea to be Made for Friends
in Campaign Set for Lat
ter Part of Next Month.

ITS a tragedy to grow DID,"
thought Mrs. Maria l.. Pierce some
fifteen years ago. Herself pretty
well along in life, she set to work
providing home for the aged of
this city and vicinity. But without
any funds of her own it was uphill
work. With the help of friends a
place was secured in lower High
street, which was a few years later
superseded by the present home at
271 High street. For some years
past, while an inmate in the City
Hospital. she has had the satsifac-
ton of knowing that fourteen other
aged people are inmates in the home
made possible by her activity. Not
only is the home crowded to capa-
city, but the accommodations in
other ways are wholly inadequate.
Accordingly the old Ciani property
on Rector street has been pur-
chased, which it is proposed to re-
model and enlarge.
Now is the time to put this most
worthy charitable institution on its
feet. For a dozen and more years
it has lived from hand to mouth,
existing on the crumbs that have
fallen from the hands of those inn
portuned to give dole for its sup
port Now it is asking a recogni-
ton worthy of the city, worthy of
the aged inmates who look to it for
their all until death shall release
them from the cares of this world.
worthy of the many in the county.
now young, hale and hearty, who
may look to it for refuge in the
years to come.
Prelininaries toward the cam
paign are already started, the cam
paign itself to raise $4,000 in Perth
Amboy and vicinity taking place the
week commencing October 20.
Headquarters for the campaign will
be in st. Peters parish house. and
G. w. Sweigert, of the Hockenbury
System. will be in charge. Associat-

S1.7O GAS RATE
ASKED IN n. J.
BY COMPANIES
Present Rate S1.15 Not High
Enough is Plea Made Be-
fore Utility Commission.

A hearing yesterday before the
Public Utility Commission in New
ark by the Perth Amboy Gas Light
Company and the Elizabethtown
Gas Light Company, for higher
rate for. gas furnished by these
companies was laid over for one
week. The reason for this action on
the part of the commission was that
they have filed an appeal from the
findings of the supreme court which
holds that the rates of the compa-
uies should be increased.
At a hearing sometime ago the
commission refused to grant the in
crease and the gas people appealed
the case to the supreme court, which
decided that the gas companies were
entitled to an additional raise. Not
only has the Public Utility COM
mission taken an appeal from the
order of the supreme court, but will
appear before Judge +. ]. Swayze
and ask him either to modify or ex-
plain just what the order means.
At the present time the companies
are receiving $1.15 per cubic foot for
the gas, but ask s1.70.
City Attorney Leo Goldberger at
tended the hearing in the interest of
this city. The city attorney said to-
day that the principal cause of the
poor gas pressure in some of the
homes is due to the ranges which are
built for high pressure gas and the
gas which is being made at the pres
ent time is for low pressure use. He
advised those who are not getting
good service to notify the gas COM
pany and if they did not take action.
to notify him and he would notify
the Public Utility commission. which
will see to it that the ranges are ad-
justed to burn the new low pressure
product.
A statement concerning the COM
plants from gas users, and sent out
by the Public Utility Commission fol-
lows:
"To Gas Companies Operating in
New Jersey:
- sssrhs Board of Public Utility
Commissioners is receiving a NUM-
Der OF complaints of poor gas serv-
ice. Investigation shows the COM
plants to be warranted in many
cases and to be due to failure to
adjust gas consuming appliances to

thorized by the board. 1t cannot be

modified standard that they owe IT
to their customers TO cooperate with
them to the fullest extent in pre-
venting annoyance to them because
of appliances not adjusted TO the
new standard.
'The board desires that all gas
companies which are supplying or
have in contemplation supplying gas
under the lower standard permitted
by the boards recent ruling shall
offer by newspaper publication, per-
sonal notice, or both, to investigate
any and all complaints their GUS
toners may have as to inadequate
service. If it appears that adjust
ments of appliances are necessary
to afford proper service under the
new standard. such adjustments
should be made without charge.

to the citizens the future of Perth
Amboy and shows how a well organ
lied and we'll managed Chamber OF
Commerce, such as Is planned for
Perth Amboy, can make finer city.
1t emphasizes the fact that while the
city will grow the direction and
measure of its growth will depend
upon the kind of leadership develop
ed in the city. If there Is an or
ganization thinking and planning for
the welfare of all the interests OF
the city, utilizing the best minds in
the community a maximum OF
prosperous growth will be secured
with a minimum of effort. Success
in this direction will be secured by

NO DATE SET FOR
PERCHAND TRIAL
N. Y. Convict Charged With
Janny-Kupfer Murder Case
Turned States Evidence.

With the trial and conviction of
George Brandon, alias Harold ".
Lamble, of Brooklyn, for the MUIR
der of Miss Edith fanny and Arthur
l.. Kupfer, both of this city, in Rah-
way on the night of August Fl, 1918,
public interest now turns to what
action will be taken by the Union
county prosecutor in the case OF
Charles Perchand, the other New
York convict, also charged with the
murder of the couple. 1t was Per-
chand's evidence as state witness
which was largely responsible for
Brandon's conviction.
Perchand will be tried under a
similar charge as that under which
Brandon was given his chance to
fight for his life, namely, that of
"willfully committing murder" Per-
chand's evidence in the trial of
Brandon was of such nature as
to be unshaken by the cross-exami-
nation of the counsel for the de-
fense. His presence in the death
car, which he was driving at the
time Brandon murdered the man
and girl, according to his sworn
testimony. and his past criminal
record will make it impossible for
him to escape with a light sentence,
but after hearing the testimony in
Brandon's trial it is doubtful II a
verdict of guilty of murder can be
entered in his case.
Brandon will be sentenced by
Supreme Court Justice James j.
Bergen at $3.50 o'clock Saturday
morning. The verdict of the jury
included no recommendation for life
Imprisonment instead of the electric
chair.
Prosecutor Walter L. Hetfield, who
appeared for the state in prosecuting
the case. left nothing unturned in
the jury with case SO
strong that it would have been diff
fcult to return a verdict other than
that arrived at. John A. 'Galatian,
chief of the Union county detectives,
not only assisted greatly in working
up the case. but was at the prose-
cutorsz. side during practically the
entire trial.
Although Chief of Police Patrick
]. Burke and Detective Sergeant
Lawrence A. Long, of this city. were
for the trial neither was
called to the stand to testify. De-
ective Long assisted the Union coun-
ty authorities in locating at Sayre-
vile one of the principal witnesses
,or the state, Miss Pauline Sabold.

Election of AppIeby Does Not
Satisfy New Brunswick
Leaders, Report Says.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Sept. 3o:--
The outcome of the Republican con-
gressional primaries has not satis-
fed the New Brunswick machine
men and in addition to this rumors
of soreness upon the part OF some
Of the defeated candidates for free-
holder, who claim they did not re-
ceive rffe proper organization sup
port are forthcoming. II the re-
marks which are being made by
some Republicans can be taken Sc
riously there will be a serious pos
sibility of a break in the g. o. p
ranks as a result of 7. Frank Apple
by's election.
1t was generally believed that al
though the rivalry for the Republ-
can congressional nomination was
intense that the winner would Sc
cure the backing of the two unsuc-
cessfuI candidates and their follow
ers. Such does not seem to be the
case as far as the Herbert support
ers are concerned. They claim that
the line of "mud-slinging' adopted
by Appleby during the last stages
of the campaign was such that they
could not support him in his hight
against DIR. William Z. Ramsay, the
Democratic candidate.
Another report prevalent in the
county seat is that Freeholder Will
liam s. Dey did not exert himself TO
work for the cause of Herbert IN the
primaries and devoted all his activ-
ityi further his own interests
Appleby's stand pat" attitude on
the wet" and dry" question. he
being "dry," is given as the reason
for his election. it being the belief
that the heavy woman vote favored
him on this issue.
Several of the freeholder candi-
dates on the Republican ticket are
said to be 'sore" and peeved over
the results and there may be one or
more independent candidates in the
field if this feeling is not smoothed
over by the county G. o. 2. leaders.
Arthur K. Hillpot, OF Metucnen,
Timothy j. Nevill, of Roosevelt, and
Arthur A. Deter, of Woodbridge. are
said to feel that the county organ
ization did not treat them fairly IN
their race for freeholder. William
s. Dey and Walter Quackenbush, the
latter of Perth Amboy, are claimed
TO have been the organizations Sc
lection for support while there was
Inc open choice" It so happened
that ]. Fred Orpen, of New Bruns-
wick was the third candidate elect
ed.
A split in the county Republican
ticket at this stage of the game
would be just what the Democrats
would like TO see as it would make
their going considerably easier with
dissension featuring the G. 0. r.
ranks.
According TO law and custom
Saturday is the day designated for
the organization of both the Re-
publican and Democratic county or
ganizations. 1t may be that the g.
o. p. differences will be smoothed
over at this time No announce
ments of these meetings have been
forthcoming from either side. =
Now that it is known who le
candidates for election will be. he
successful ones are losing no me
in getting their campaigns lay ch-
ed. The presidential fight win now
be of equal importance with the dis
trict, county and local contests
which will mean that speakers OF
countrywide reputation will be
brought into Miedlesex by both par
ties in order to gather votes for
their residential favorites.
