CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ACTS
FOR END OF Time TANGLE

In order to relieve the conflict in
time along the Atlantic seaboard,
some cities having adopted daylight
saving. and few not, the Chamber
of Commerce of this city has been
working with a large number OF
other associations to get the federal
government to establish the daylight
saving plan in the entire eastern
zone.
The best part of the senators and
representatives from this zone are ial
favor of daylight saving but the con-
gressmen from the rest of the counf
try are divided on the propositions
This plan would allow them to Keep
standard time for all of the country
west of Pittsburgh, and give the sys-
TEN to the eastern section OF the
country, which is more industrial
than the other parts.
The committee in the House having
charge of this bill is composed OF
representatives from the east, middle
west, west and south. The chambers
which have been active in this new
system have appealed to all to sup
port this bill and have had encourag-
ing letters from A. ]. Montague OF
West Virginia, ]. ]. Esch of. Wiscon-
sin, J.. S. Webster of Washington and
T.. r. Alderman of New Jersey and
also Senator w. Z. Edge of this state
1t is thought that the committee
will act upon the bin in about two
or three weeks and it is sincerely
hoped that it will be adopted and
thus end the confusion which now
prevails

switching the two million pounds of
copper bullion to their plant.
The same conditions exist at the
Standard Underground Gable Com
pany that has caused the close down

the plant operations may be resumed

HERBERT LIKELY
CHOICE Of MANY
Reports From the County Seat
to Effect That G. O. P. Will
Support HeImetta Man.

Even though the September prima-
ries are several months away, and the
contest for delegates to the national
convention which Is to be decided
on next Tuesday at the presidential
primaries, is now at its height. the
candidates for congress are already
beginning to get into the running.
The center of interest at the present
time is the candidates looming up in
the Republican party for the nomi-
nation for congressman in the third
congressional district I'm the Sep
tember primaries. From present in
dications, this fight within the ranks
of the Republican party will be the
most interesting feature of the pri-
maries.
Although Frederick Richardson. of
New Brunswick, has withdrawn from
the race Robert Carson, who has
twice been defeated for the honors
of representing the third congression-
al district in Washington ID. c. by
Thomas j. Scully, Democrat. has
stepped in and taken the place va
Gated by Richardson. Others figur-
ing in the race are Joseph Thompson
of New Egypt Ocean county; Il. Frank
Appleby of Asbury Park. Monmouth
county, and John w. Herbert, of
Helmetta. Middlesex county. Mr.. Car
son is also Middlesex man.
Aside from the fact that Mr.. Ap-
pleby, who is a former mayor of As
bury Park has made it known that
he is running on business" plat
form. the other candidates have not
enlightened the citizens as to their
platforms as yet.
From present indications the poll
ticians in New Brunswick are In
clined to favor John w. Herbert, of
Helmetta and these being the fact,
the real fight of the campaign will
no doubt settle between Appleby and
Herbert.
| As far as Joseph Thompson of New
York Is concerned at the present time
he has a hard fight cut out for him,
as he is but little known in this Sec
tion of the district, and must do a
great deal of campaigning to over
|come the lead already gained by Ap-
pleby. Herbert and Carson.
Mum is the word as far as the race
for nominee is concerned in the
Democratic party up to the present
time and 1t is very unlikely that any
candidates will enter the field until
after the presidential primaries are
over.

to Gain Members on Boaro
of Freeholders This Year

BIZ stat Correspondent
NEW BRUNSWICK. April 23-Al-
though the tall election is still quite
ways off there is considerable polit-
ical gossip in the county seat. which.
although some of those mentioned
may not decide to enter the race.
makes interesting discussion.
Three of the members of the Board
of Freeholders. William s. Dey,
director of South Amboy, and Fred
erick Gebhardt of New Brunswick.
both Republicans. together with T..
Leon Loblein. of New Brunswick.
Democrat have their terms expire
next fall, and in addition, Robert r.
Vandenburgh, Republican of Prospect
Plains who was named to temporarily
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Freeholder Edgar Bennett will be
a candidate for reelection for one
year.
1t is understood that these, four
men will be candidates for reelection
but in addition others names have
been mentioned. Among the county
Republicans spoken of as possible
freeholder timber are Walter G..
Quackenbush, of Perth Amboy, at
present supervisor of roads and
bridges in Middlesex county; William
C. Wilson. of Perth Amboy. at pres
ent an alderman and also spoken of
there as a possible candidate for
mayor on the G.. o. II. ticket; William
Hannah, of Milltown. who ran for
the office of freeholder on an inde-
pendent Republican ticket last fall
but since, it is understood. has enter
ed the fold" and f. William Hilker,
county collector, of Perth Amboy,
whose name is mentioned consistent
ly in certain quarters as a possible
candidate for freeholder.
In addition to Freeholder Loblein,
the Democrats are understood to have
in view w. Guy Weaver. formerly of
Perth Amboy and at present of Wood
bridge for one of the places on the
county board. Mayor Gordon, of South
Amboy and Andrew Ely. of Dayton.
are two other Democrats mentioned
AS being possible entries.
Owing to-the fact that the law pro-
hibits a sheriff from succeeding him
Iself Charles Anderson, Democrat. can
not run again this fall. Freeholder
George s. Applegate, of South River,
lis understood to have desires for this
office and may be a Republican candi-
date. If he should be elected he would
be forced to resign as a F'reeholdel
and thus cause another vacancy on
the county board. Elmer Wyckoff, OF
New Brunswick, has also been men
toned as a G.. o. T.. possibility for
the office of sheriff.
If reports now prevalent are true
the Democrats have a strong candi-
date in Edward Houghton. who
served term as sheriff prior to
Sheriff Anderson, who is now in office
Houghton has not formally an
nounced his candidacy but it is ex-
pected soon by members OF his party

GET WIRELESS
FROM A|MUNDSEN
Discoverer of South Pole Ar
rives at Behring Sea Trad
ing Post Station.
By The Associated Press


NOME, Alaska, April 23:-Captain
Roald Amundsen, discoyerer of the
south pole, has arrived at Anadir, a
trading post on the Behring sea,
eastern Siberia, according to a wire
less message from Anadir received
last night. The dispatch gave no de-
tails other than suggesting that the
explorer had reached the village in a
ship.
For more than nineteen months
the silences of Polar seas have
shrouded the vessel that bore Roald
Amundsen and his shipmates in their
strange endeayor to reach the north
pole. Amundsen's vessel, the Maud.
took on oil at Dixson Island in the
White sea about September 1. 1918,
and soon after sailed off to the north
east through the rapidly freezing
Arctic. 1t was the explorers plan TO
drive the ship as far northward as he
could, then to lodge her in the ice
and permit her to be dragged along
with the enormous foes.
The mouth of the Anadir river is
about 5000 miles east of Dixson
Island. where Amundsen began his
long Arctic voyage. His purpose was
not primarily to reach the north pole
but to make scientific observations
take soundings, study the drift OF
Polar ice and collect important data
as to Oceanic conditions in the far
north.

Barns Razcd at south Amboy.

Bu Special correspondents
SOUTH ANIBOY, April 23-Last
night the barns and outbuildings or
Miss Kathryn Conlogues farm were
completely destroyed by fire. The
blaze could be seen for miles around
and attracted auto parties for many
miles around. The property was Just
inside the city limits and only good
work on the part of the fire depart
ment prevented the fire from spread
ing to the house and in spreading to
the houses that lie just over the line
in Sayreville township.
The alarm was turned in from box
number forty-five. Protection Com
pany was the first on the scene and
was closely followed by the Enter
prise and Hook and Ladder Compa-
MES. Three-quarters of an hour
after the South Ambog companies
had responded the Sayrevville COM
pany appeared on the seene-the
alarm having been sounded at the
same time in that place.
The cause of the fire is unknown:
Yesterday afternoon number of
children were seen playing with
small fires in the rear of the barn.
1t is thought that one of these fires
was left smoldering and in the night
broke out and the fire spread rapidly.
When the alarm was sounded and the
men responded there was absolutely
no hope to save the barn and only
quick work prevented the fire from
spreading.
