SEE No CHANGE
At LEH|GH YARD
Instead of Being Moved Away
the Local Yards May be
Made Much Larger.

According to two officials of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Co., station
ed at the freight yards in this city,
there will not be any changes in the
present layout of the yards and re-
pair shops now located here.
With the report of plans made by
the railroad company for the erec-
tion of a large terminal and repair
shop center in South Plainfield,
came the rumors that the repair
shop in this city would be discon-
tinued and removed to the new place
to be built in the near future. The
two officials, however. stated that
they had heard nothing and had re-
ceived no communications from
headquarters that would tend to
show that any changes would be
made in the present terminal in this
city. and that as far as they know
nothing would be done to remove
any of the existing departments now
located in the yards.
They said that they had not heard
anything about the terminal to be
built in South Plainfield, and that
all they knew about this plan was
the reports they heard outside of
the office. 1t was their opinion that
even if the railroad center and ter
minal was constructed near the main
line of the railroad at South Plain
field, there would be no changes in
the yards in this city. They believed
that such a move would no doubt
necessitate the enlargement of the
capacity of the repair shop and
yards here, and that more coal
would be shipped from the local ter
minal. = -.a.--ss

SEES NOTHING CORRUPT
IN SHIPPING BOARD

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Practices
of the shipping u. S. board which led
to the present investigation by the
Walsh congressional committee have
not been corrupt" according to COM
mander A. T. Clement assistant to
Rear Admiral w. S. Benson who was
the principal witness at the continu-
alton for the committee hearing to-
day.
IF there is ground for criticizing
the shipping board administration ii
is upon the ground that a perfect
coordination between the different
department has not been attained
He admitted that the shipping
board in some cases had paid exhor-
bitant wages, common laborers at
time receiving the pay of experts.
Efforts were made, however, he said,
to stop this practice.

anniversary OF which we observe to
day. marks the light of the
present century in American affairs.
Victories such as Armistice Day
commemorates are not the issues
solely of clashes of flesh and steel.
They have a finer quality than that.
They are the triumphs, as well, of an
unconquerabie spirit.
No victory. however complete,
long can survive the spirit that con-
ceived it. The annals of mankind
are replete with example: splendid
ltriumphs in behalf of splendid causes
that have gone for naught because
the spirit that made them ceased to
endure.
This is only the second anniver-
sary of ArmisNce Day--a day .des-
tined, if we will. to Keep company
with the immortals of the calendar
which mark great moments of his
tory that shall never die. Succeed
| ing generations will acclaim Armis-
tice Day, God grant they always
shall acclaim it in the spirit that
made it: and that this spirit, like the
day, shall be imperishable.
| With this prayer in our hearts let
us renew each year our vows of
fealty. repledge and keep unshakable
our faith in the high ideals. the lofty
purposes, the unselfish aspirations
and exalted, holy hopes that fired the
hearts of Americans in 1918 and
made ours land from whence cru
saders came, with souls a-fiame,
worthy of their victory.
| To this end the American Legion
today and forever solemnly pledges
| it's all.

GRANT INJUNCTION TO CASE
RESTRAINING new SHERIFF

Vice Chancellor John L. Backes
sitting in Newark has granted Harry
S. Medinets, attorney for Joseph
Levine, of 1853 Lewis street, in the
lawsuit of Gustave Lewis of Newark
against Levine, a temporary injunc-
tion restraining Sheriff Elmer E.
Wyckoff from enforcing and collect
ing a judgment given some time ago
when the case was tried in the SUI
preme court. AS far as known this
is the first injunction to be served
on Sheriff Wyckoff since being
sworn in the Office.
The case dates back to October,
1919, when Levine, who is a cattle
from Israel Feldman. Levine pur-
chased the cows in good faith and
upon the information that there was
s400 due on them through chat
tie mortgage held by Lewis. Levine
killed the cattle and after this was
done Lewis refused to receive the
$400 as he claimed greater
amount was due him.
Lewis then brought suit in the
supreme court and Judge George S.
Silzer ruled that by reason of pecu-
liar technicality of the law Lewis
as mortgage was entitled to the
full value of the property, this value
being over $4,000 regardless of the
fact that only s52S.S0 was actually
due him. The Judgment was then
turned over to the sheriff to collect.
Attorney Medinets then made ap-
plication for an order to have the
sheriff and Lewis show cause why
they should not be restrained from
enforcing and collecting the judg-
ment and he filed a bill in chancery
to compel Lewis to give an account
of the money received on account
of the mortgage and to compel him
to apply this amount on the judg-
ment.
stops all action in the case until a
final hearing is held and testimony
is taken.

.G,Q..P!!..l DIVIDE
THEIR SPO|LS
Republican County Leaders
Meet at Hotel Klein in New
Brunswick Tonight.
DISCUSS APPOINTMENTS
Chief Peltier Says ConstabIes
Fitzpatrick and SchWeikert
Are Needed by Prosecutor
By stan Correspondent.


NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. Lids
cussion of how 10 divide the "politi-
cal spous," resulting from the Re-
publicans/ gaining power in the
county at the general election last
week, will take place tonight at the
Hotel Klein when G. o. p. leaders
from various parts of Middlesex
meet. One question which faces the
Republicans Is that of whether or not
to hold acting county Detectives
William Fitzpatrick and Peter
Schweikert, both of whom are con-
stables and Democrats named by the
Democratic ex-sheriff. Chief of
County Detectives Richard A. Pelt.
ier has pointed out that both of
these men are needed to the fact
they are in the midst of several cases
which they could not very we'll leave
and which new men could not fol-
low up so we'll and get results.
Chief Peltier has suggested that
acting Detectives Fitzpatrick and
Schweikert be retained until the
next session of the legislature at
WHICH time bill can be introduced
authorizing the appointment of two
more detectives. Chief Peltier in
sists that both Fitzpatrick and
Schweikert are needed now to MAIN
tain the efficiency of the prosecu-
tors staff.
Despite these statements made by
the chief of the county detectives
there seems to be an inclination on
the part of the Republicans, now
that they have attained full power,
to make a clean sweep of the coun-
ty appointive offices and dismiss all
of the men named by the Democratic
administration. If they follow out
this plan tonight it will mean that
both Fitzpatrick and Schwei-keri
will lose their positions.
Under-sheriff Frederick Gowar
commenced his duties this morning
as did William Hannah. the newly
named process server. both beine
scheduled to take their oath of office
today. George Rutan. of this city
the newly appointed county jaileI
was on duty this morning.

SIX BOYS ARRESTED HERE
CHARGED WITH THEFTS

Arrest of six boys. ranging in age
from nine to twelve years, has solved
the mystery surrounding several
small robberies committed in this
city during the past three or four
weeks in which cigars. cigarettes and
candy were stolen. These boys ad-
mitted several thefts when arraign-
ed in court this morning before act
ing Recorder Stephen +. Somogyi
but would not confess to Other en-
tries charged against them. The

MANY DELEGATES At SHIP
CANAL HEARING TODAY

, Delegates from all sections of this
state, Pennsylvania and New York
iare attending the hearing today OF
1.-THE Intracoastal waterway, from
Morgan on the Raritan bay to Bor-
dentown on the Delaware river
which is being held in the Army
building in New York City, by the
government engineers.
That every county is interested and
some of the officials are of the opin-
ion that the construction of the canal
is only question of time, is brought
out by the fact that County Engineer
Harris of Mercer county at meeting
of the Board of Freeholders of that
county discussed the reconstruction
of county roads and bridges that will
be necessary if the proposed canal is
built.
Mr.. Harris pointed out that the
canal will cross Hamilton, Washing
ton, and West Windsor Township,
and that 1t will intersect one state
highway. four county and numerous
township roads. 1t was proposed
to put bridges over the canal at right
angles to the waterway, but this did
not meet with the approval of Mr..
Harris who claimed it would mean
putting curves in the roads that dc
not intersect the canal at right ang-
les.
Mr.. Harris stated he would be bet
ter able to take up the matter after
attending the hearing in New York
today. Freeholder Royle was also
delegated to attend the hearing.
Because of conferences in this
city today Mayor Frank Dorsey
found it impossible to attend the
hearing as he had planned. How
ever, Jean Dubois. president of the
Raritan Terminal and Waterway
Association, is representing the city
at the hearing. Senator Thomas
Brown will be present at the hear
ing to be held in Philadelphia to-
morrow.

TRENTON, Nov. 11-Governor
Edwards has issued the following ap
peal to the people of New Jersey
on behalf of the annual roll call of
the American Red Cross, to be held
November 11th to November 25th:
Again the people of America
are given the opportunity of coop
Grafton in service to humanity
through the medium of the fourth
annual roll call of the Red Cross.
The renewal of membership in the
Red Cross will enable this remark
able organization to carry on its
works of mercy through the sphere
OF its activities.
"The American Red Cross needs
no recommendation to the Ameri-
ican people. We are all familiar
with the stupendous character of its
operations in the recent war-oper-
ations so far-reaching and conduct
ed on so vast a scale as to merit our
unqualified admiration and support.
That the American people were not
insensible to the scope and char
acter of the work of the Red Cross
in past years is evidenced by their
response to former roll calls.

Appeal by Harding.
Nv SnectaI Correspon ndent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11-An ap-
peal for support of the Fourth Roll
Call of Red Cross members. which
starts generally throughout the coun-
try today, penned by President
elect Warren G. Harding. is made
public at national headquarters of
the American Red Cross. The trib-
ute and appeal is as follows:
Noting that your membership
roll call for this season is impend-
ing, / have wanted to express my
very earnest sympathy for your
cause and my hopes that 1t may be
forwarded by the coming campaign.
eff in ali the world there is an
organization more entitled to be
regarded as doing good universally
and doing nothing else at any time
or any place, do not know what it
may be.
1T would be peculiarly a mis-
fortune, if the Red Cross with its
magnificent organization and splen-
did purpose of useful achievement
should lose any measure of its ef-
ficiency because the special interest
and enthusiasm of wartime has
ceased, your organization has been
built to serve humanity, and hu-
manity needs service in peace, just
as it did in war.
"My wishes for all success go out
to you"
An appeal from Vice President
elect Calvin Coolidge was also made
public as follows:
There are no large results with
out organized effort. In no other
way can the mercy of mankind ade-
quately be expressed. To that end
the Red Cross. the greatest express
sion of the compassion of mankind.
should have its organization main
tained and supported.

The term of Mr.. Banker expires on

The name of Alderman Albert G..
Waters, of Perth Amboy, had been
named during the early part of the

sioner but New Brunswick again

Owing to the fact that Alderman
Waters is not considered strong
Democratic organization man, he
having shown by his actions in the
