INSURANCE AID
GIVEN NIGHTS
Post Office Will be Open
Every Night During Drive
to Help Out Service Men.

Yesterday afternoon the doors of
the postoffice were thrown open to
former service men ar l O'Clock, but
it was readily seen that most of the
callers were business men who could
afford to leave their work during
the day and attend to work of their
own. Although the drive is intended
to reach all. it was felt that the meE
most in need of help could not take
advantage of the assistance offered
because of their inability to get to
the postoffice during the day. Many
requests have come in asking that
the postofice be opened nights to
allow the great majority of the for
mer service men to take advantage
of the opportunity to reinstate their
government insurance. In order
that all may have opportunity to
receive proper advice, it has been
decided to have the postoffice open
from Z until $3.50 o'clock every even
Ing for the remainder of the week.
A telephone has been installed
and any one wishing to have infor-
nation without going to the post
office may call Perth Amboy 415.
In Woodbridge tonight the ex-
service men of the township are be-
s'o N"iANh NpSNNiitA IOl n Iilttt-
ing to be held at the fire house.
This mass meeting is being held by
the American Legion Post ST. and
all ex-service men have been notified
to attend. T. J. McEvoy, the state
representative of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance and j. F. Deegan,
county chairman, will address the
meeting, and all questions pertain
ing to government insurance will be
answered and all claims against the
government for compensation. vic
tory medals, back pay, allotments,
etc. will be taken up.
The Perth Amboy postoffice will
take care of the former ex-service
men from Woodbridge, South AM
boy. Roosevelt, and the other neigh
boring towns bordering on this city.
Every former service man can get
very valuable information pertain
Ing to his own particular case. The
opportunity is his but he must take
advantage of it this week.

BIC DEMOCRAT
EVENT TONIGHT
Out of Town and Local Can
didates to Speak Singing
and Music to be Featured

Great enthusiasm is being dis
played in Democratic circles today
in connection with the big rally to
be held in the Auditorium tonight.
The leaders of the party are putting
forth every effort to make the affair
greater than the big Democratic
meeting held in the Auditorium dur
ing the Governor Edwards CAM
paign and from the number of re-
plies received from out-of-town
people who received Mayor Dorsey's
invitation to be present, it is expect
ed that a large delegation of out
of-town people will attend.
Those in charge of the meeting
learned today that in some sections
of the city the impression had been
obtained that the meeting was prin-
cipally for the men voters. This Is
mistaken idea, as special seats have
been reserved for the women and it
is particularly desired that women
attend. The committee has arrang-
/ ed for Mrs. George Sebey. of Chi
caSo, a woman speaker of considera-
BILE note to address the women on
the National issues.
A real old fashioned campaign
was staged last night by Joseph Ma
loney, Democratic candidate for the
assembly. Mr.. Maloney accompan-
led by the st. Mary's fife and drum
corps. held open air meetings in this
city, South Amboy, South River and
Sayreville. The meetings in this
city were held on the corners of
Smith and Hobart streets and Hall
avenue and Charles street. MIR. Ma
loney will be one of the speakers
at the rally tonight. but prior to this
meeting will give an open air talk In
Woodbridge at $3.50 O'Clock.
DR.. William +. Ramsay. the Dem
ocratic candidate for congress, lef
| this morning for Ocean count,
where he is carrying on persona
campaign today. Tonight D.. Ram

REPUBLICANS PLAN TO HOLD
MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT

There will be no meeting of the
Perth Amboy Republican Club this
Thursday night but on Friday night
1t is planned to hold a large mass
meeting in Palace Hall. A speaker
well known throughout the state and
especially popular in Perth Amboy
is expected here to make the main
address of the night, the committee
not having made certain as yet of
his appearance here. Owing to the
police benefit on Thursday night it
was deemed advisable by the club
not to meet and thus have the dates
conflict. AS the clubrooms in the
Odd Fellows hall will not be large
enough for this meeting it has been
decided to secure Palace Hall. This
will probably be the last G. o. II.
mass meeting before the general
election next Tuesday.
A meeting of the women Republi-
cans of the city was held last night
in the Republican Club rooms, about
fifty attending. Mrs. Oliver w.
has been laid out for the women of
this city next Tuesday and a definite
plan of acton was worked out.
A Republican meeting which was
attended by both men and women,
was held in a hall in Sutton street
last night. Frank Stas arranged this
meeting which was addressed by Mrs.
Oliver w. Ramsay. Mrs. Whitney w.
Oliver, John Pfeiffer and Alderman
William c. Wilson, the marorality
candidate. The meeting was well at
tended and much enthusiasm shown.

Facts on Van Steenberg

Mayor Hylan is charged with mis-
representing facts deliberately for

addressed TO him yesterday by District
Attorney Denis OLeary of Queens.
The letter is in reply to one the Mavor
sent ast-weell to John P. O'Brien. Cor
poration Counsel, directing him to dis
place William IL. Van Steenberg. whom
Mr.. O'Leary had employed in connec-
ton with the hearings on the Queens
County gas rate. Mr.. OLeary's letter
says in part:
Hon. John F. Hylan, Mayor
Dear Sir: With your usual mix+nra
of pretended virtue and absolute
ignorance, you have addressed a letter
to the press and to your CORPORATION
Counsel directing him to take stems TO
oust counsel for the District Attorney
of Queens County from certain gas ac-
t1ons. OF course, your action is pure
ly political and, as usual, departure
from the truth in every statement Won
make, and is made deliberately for
political propaganda.

Wendell Gets
Clean Bill in
Travis Deals
CONTINUED from PAGE ems,

under which the latter agreed to pur-
013.O00, - FN'-
The letters are alleged to show
among other things, that Mr.. Travis
agreed to take this block of securities
from Fanshawe at 81, and finally did
accept them year later at s91s, al
though they were quoted in the omen
market at the time of the purchase
at 50. The compromise price is said
to have been reached after long and
heated conference in which the broker
was compelled to accede to the Comp
troller's stipulation that he surrender
all correspondence in connection with
the transaction
Fanshawe testified on the stand that
he had accumulated the securities with
the expectation that Comptroller Travis
latter has admitted that he agreed up
on with Albert l.. Judson. for whom
tanshawe was acting. The loss 20
Fansnawe when he was forced to meet
the compromise price of 891s is said
to have been $4,000, while the loss to
the state as result of purchasing
at so many points in advance Of that
at which the securities could have been
obtained in the open market is esti-
Hated ri we'll over $lUU,UUU.
Mr.. Pecora said yesterday that he
had additional testimony to offer which
would tend TO disprovc certain state
ments made last Thursday by Colonel
William Hayward, attorney for Mr..
Wendell, concerning the various
sources Of legitimate income which the
Deputy Comptroller enjoyed.
Mr.. Pecora said that while Colonel
Hayward had asserted that his client
inherited 100000 from his fathe, he
was in a position to prove that this
patrimony did not exceed $4,000. The
Assistant District Attorney also de-
manded an opportunity to question Mr..
Wendell on the subject of the missing
Fanshawe letters, and declared that he
had been hampered throughout the in
vestigation by being forced to regu-
late the proceedings in such way that
they would not interfere with the
Deputy Comptroller's campaign en-
gagcments.
Justice Kernochan appeared to agree
that Mr.. Pecora should be given an op-
