C. J. GULF NAMED
COUNTY CHAIRMAN

Rev. C. J.. CUP, OF New Bruins
wick. has been appointed Middlesex
county chairman of the Sunday
school division OF the Near East Re-
lief by Joseph H. Wright, state
chairman. During the fiscal year
ending July 1 the Sunday Schools in
New Jersey contributed $46,215.73
toward feeding the 100000 orphans
in Armenia. Syria and the surround
ing countries. The states entire
collections amounted to $40, 522.54.
This "a enough to feed 500 orphans
who have been saved by the Ameri-
can organization.
The Rev. Mr.. Culp says that these
orphans have been kept from star
walton but as they are not able to
support themselves an effort will be
made by the Sunday Schools of the
county to provide for them for an
other year. The Armenians are still
at war-this time with the Bolshe-
Wiki which are sweeping down from
Russia. They are scarcely able to,
provide for their own families-these
that have beer rescued from the
Turkish harems-and unless help is
contributed from America the thous-
ands of orphans will be no better
than IL they had persisted.
Certificates are now being distri-
buted to the Sunday Schools in the
county which last year adopted an
Armenian orphan.

STATE BARRIERS TO HOLD
4 CONVENTION HERE SEPT. 10

The annual convention Of the
State Federation OF BARRIERS will be
held In this city on Monday. Septem-
Der 10. There will be two sessions
during the day, morning and after
noon and an effort is being made by
the committee OF the Local 6S7. of
which Tony Dragotta is the secre-
'tary, to secure Washington hall In
which to hold the state session.
There are about fifty locals
throughout the state and each will
send a representative to the conven-
ton. There are expected to be others
here to Join in making the conven-
ton one Of the best held in some
time. The committee of Local 6S7
is arranging for some kind OF enter
.tainment and reception for the dele
gates and members coming to this
city.
One of the most Important ques-
lions coming up before the conven-
tion will be the move 70 launch an
agitation for a statewide Sunday
closing law. New Jersey Is one of
the few states that has failed to
enact Sunday closing legislation, al
though the BARRIERS have secured ia
.vorable action in many municipali-
ties by the passage of city ordi-
.nances. Perth Amboy has that ordt-
nance 50 the members of the local
here have not that to worry about.
The annual election of officers will
take place at the convention.

ditional facts have been learned

sums of money due creditors
One who is believed to know of
the doings of Haas said that he has
taken passage for. Germany and that
this will be the last seen of Haas here.
His disappearance was not caused so
much by his alleged indebtedness to
certain financial institutions in this
county. 1t Is said. as il was because
OF his dealings with the Gulf Gasoline
Company. The story now Is that
Haas ordered shipment made of the
gas to Spotswood and intercepted
the shipment at Jersey City when the
assignment was sold at a good profit
to men who were short on orders.
1t Is said that the Gulf people have
representatives in Germany now in
an effort to locate Haas and bring
him back. II possible.
While in Spotswood. Haas. with
his family. made his home with Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Rigler and shortly
before he disappeared moved away.
A short time after his departure the
Rigler family sold their home and
moved to New York where. II is said,
they are occupying the Haas fiat in
the Bronx.
During the. war Haas exhibited a
card which, It is claimed. set forth
that he was a member of the secret
service of the United States.

place. is closed and will no doubt
be sold to satisfy his creditors.

FEDERAL LICENSES TO SELL
INTOXICATING LIQUORS HERE

The New Jersey edition of The
American Issue. the Official organ of
the Anti-Saloon League. under date
of August 81. publishes a list of per-
sons in New Jersey to whom the
federal government has issued per-
mits to sell intoxicating liquors in
quantities OF five gallons or more
Those from Perth Amboy are as
follows: Frank Gold, 296 Smith
street. saloon; Hugo Goldstein, 285

evils, 692 State street. no report;

field. los Brighton avenue: Joseph
Seaman, 400 Smith street. saloon;
VIM. Weinberger, 261 Oak street. no
report.
The fact hat many of permits is
sued were to saloonkeepers caused
officials of the Anti-Saloon League to
write to the federal prohibition COM
missioner, John R. Kramer, calling
attention to the fact that 159 whole
sale liquor permits had been granted
to supply the needs of $40 pharma-
cists: hat there we're so in Hudson
and 80 in Essex county, where n
would be amply sufficient to meet
the legitimate demands of either
county. 1t also develops that eight
counties are without any permits.
As a result OF this letter. which
was published very widely. and was
printed in the American Issue of
August 7. Commissioner Kramer has
ordered that no more permits be
granted and that the present permit
holders be investigated thoroughly,
and such permits as are improper
shall be revoked.
Mr.. George w. Van Note, director
of prohibition for New Jersey. is
strictly carrying out these instruc-
lions and is eager to cut down the
number of permit holders so that his
inspectors may be in a position to do
some real prohibition work by
checking up the activities of the
dealers.
Mr.. Van Note explains that most
of these irregular permits were
granted before the federal directors
once was established.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOL To Be
OvERCR0WDED THIS YEAR

There seems to be very little like
dhood of the vocational school here
accommodating all the boys who
will have filed their applications for
she various courses by September
Is, when the school opens. Last
rear ninety boys were accommodate
I'D whereas the school was original
~ designed for seventy-two. Prin-
ripal John NJ. Shoe says that II will
be impossible to take ire of any
more than last year although thus
far sixty-two have been enrolled
and it is certain that at least fifty
more will have applied by the open
ing day.
The course of studies this year
will be the same with a possible
change in the athletic program. In
structor Hutton will replace Instruc-
Tor Durholz in related subjects
Joseph Tatton will continue with
The chemistry classes and Mr.. Card
per with mechanical drawing. There
will be an assistant in the shop this
Tear to help Mr.. Shoe.
This county vocational school Is
Dscoming more popular yearly. The
sourses offered are all practical, and
appeal strongly to certain types OF
boys. 1t had been the idea Of some
that the institution was for the ben
eft of deficient students who had
not made good in the public schools.
This idea is most erroneous, for the
salibre of the boys in the vocational
school in many cases is finer along
certain lines than that of many chill
jren who remain in the city insti-
;utions.
All the boys who join MIR. Shoes
school have been recommended by
heir teachers and principals and
qualify for the courses which they
take UP. Many are not In a position
% continue with their lengthy stu
lies in the grammar grades. and af-
Ter a year or two in the vocational
ichool qualify for responsible posi-
lions in the industries hereabouts.
Employers are always anxious to
obtain boys who have had their
raining in the vocational school and
,ften make material inducements to
rome of them 70 enter their employ
upon their leaving the institution.
Last year was considered particu-
larly successful in the school. Stu
lies continued throughout the term
N a most efficient manner and the
boys took great interest in their
work. To break the monotony of
constant study. athletics have been
introduced and form an important
bart Of the daily program and 1t is
expected that this year will prove
even more satisfactory than last, be-
pause of the recognition which this
institution Is receiving.
