Costs of Fine New Building
WILL FLOAT BOND ISSUE

A new school for Hall avenue las
been assured by the action taken by
the Board OF School Estimate at a

several meetings held by the Board
of School Et,mate upon the advisa-
bility of erecting the new building at
this time. Alderman-atLarge ]. N.
WeSter. who Is q member of the
board some time ago suggested that
instead of building o new school while
the price of material Is so high to
build an addition to school ten. Pres
ident John K. Sheehy Of the School
Board claimed that the building
of such an addition would not meet
the needs of the pupils.
The board also agreed to engage q
Perth Amboy builder to make a sur
vey of all the school buildings in
the city to est mate the value, so that

GAMBLERS SCAMPER
AS TIP IS PASSED

Owing to the increased openness
with which those conducting gamb-
ling halls. rooms and Joints" in this
city have been carrying on the games
of recent weeks, Prosecutor Joseph
e. Stricken sent to Alderman William
G. Wilson, chairman OF the police
committee OF the Board of Aldermen,
a communication this week inform
ing him that such conditions cannot
exist and that IL the local police cam
not remedy matters within ten days
that the county detectives would take
a hand in the matter and see that
the law is lived up to in Perth AM
boy.
This letter apparently had its de-
sired effect, at least with regard to
certain gambling places in the city.
One of the biggest and most popular,
which has been doing business on
Madison avenue, where an entire
house was rented for the purpose,
suddenly closed its doors last night
and the promoters saw to 1t that it
was cleaned out. This same house
had been continually warned by the
police, it is said. to discontinue its.
operations or steps would be taken
to prevent them from continuing, but
these warnings apparently had little
effect except to result in the club
changing its location from time to
time and, incidentally, growing Dig
ger with each jump.
Prosecutor Stricken stated when
questioned about this letter to the
chairman Of the police committee. a
copy of which was also sent to the
mayor, that he had not mentioned
the names of any of the gambling
operators nor had he given any ad-
dresses as these facts should be in
the hands OF the chairman OF the
police committee, who Is looked upon
as the head of the police department
because of the powers vested in him
by the clty's laws.
The gamblers in this cit9, Prosecu-
tor Stricken said, were getting so bold
as to come out in the open and ad-
nit that they had no business from
which they derived an income but
that of "feecing" the younger fel-
lows known as suckers" who had
been lured into the dice-rolling
haunts because of the open way in
which they were conducted.
The Palace Hall gambling case Will
come up for action before the Grand
Jury at its session tomorrow morning,
there being two local men whose cases
were taken further than the local
court These two men are William
Kelly and Elmer ~Christopherson.

SENTIMENT FOR GEN. WOOD,
BUT GARRETSON NOT PLEDGED
Lyon Makes Spirited Plea at G.
0.P. Meeting for Instructed
Delegate for Wood
QUESTION OF PREFERENCE
Lyon Tells of Sinister Doings
at Conventions in His Plea
for Wood Pledge.

Despite the fact that general senti-
n:ent seemed to favor the candidacy
of General Leonard Wood as Repub-
lican candidate for President. the gen.
eral concensus of opinion of those who
attended the smoker and meeting of
the Perth Amboy Republican Club
here in the Odd Fellows Building last
night seemed to be that Ferd Garrett
son. their choice for Presidential con-
vention delegate from this district.
should go uninstructed and unpledged.
Former Judge Adrian Lyon, vice presi-
dent of the Wood interests in Middle
sex, gave a talk in which he explained
why Mr.. Garretson should declare
himself for Wood-the speaker de-
claring that the former mayor had
admitted this fact to him-or II he
did not desire TO pledge him his sup
port he might state his preference
for General Wood.
Mr. Lyon brought out the fact that
General Wood will be strong candt-
date at the primaries. If Mr.. Garrett
son does not assert himself for this
man, Mr.. Lyon said, another man
might step into the delegate race.
pledge himself to support General
Wood, receive the votes of the firm
Wood supporters and possibly defeat
Mr.. GarretSon.
Failure on the part of Mr.. Garret-
son to pledge himself or make public
his preference puts the former mayor
in danger of being defeated by those,
who are strong Wood advocates and
do not know Mr.. Garretson as well as
those residing in Perth Amboy but will
cast their ballot for the man who has
come out publicly for Wood.
The petitions for the delegate can
didacies on the Republican ticket
which have been in the city for about
a week were at the meeting last night
and signed by those present Presi-
dent of the club Morgan f. Larson

APPLEbY GIVES
IDEAS IN RACE
Candidate for Congress in 3rd
Dist. Gives Out Some PIankS
in Platform Here Last Might

r. Frank Appleby. of Asbury Park,
who has announced his candidacy for
the nomination as congressman from
the third congressional district this
coming fell, outlined briefly some of
the planl1s in the platform upon
which he will run in short talk
made before the Perth Amboy Re-
publican Club here last night. Mr..
Appleby, who Is an ex-mayor of the
seashore resort and has held many
other political offices during the past
twenty years or so, stated that in
1896 he went to the Republican con-
vention as a delegate and that this
year he and his political friends were
for Ferd Garretson for this honor in
1920.
Conditions today, Mr.. Appleby said,
ought to be remedied at once. The
repeal of the excess profit tax. he
said, would be one of the means Of
improving building operations. The
larger numbering companies, he said,
were not exerting themselves in get
ting a large output owing to the tax
they must pay. If this was removed,
he pointed out, the output would In
crease, there would be more matert-
ais and the building problem would
be solved.
Closer cooperation between cap
ital and labor was also advocated by
Mr.. Appleby during his talk. He
spoke favorably of a bonus for ex-
service men. Referring to the high
cost OF living he said that this prob

the part Of all. from the large pro-
Queer down to the laborer Every
man must produce more, the speaker
said, than he has been accustomed
to doing in the past. Clubs and or

OTHER CASES OF
POLICE SCANDAL
Vice Clean Up Caused Arrest
and Suspension of loops
Go on Bail for Gamblers

Two Of the recent casas where
other members of the police depart
ment violated the laws of the depart
ment by their associations, one case
resulted in two policemen being sus-
pended, and the other in three pa
trolmen being reprlmanded. are as
follows:
On December of last year Ed
ward Morgan and John Kurpiel, two
patrolmen of the local police depart
ment, were arrested by Detective
John Murray of the local force and
County Detective William Fitzpatrick
charged with being implicated In the
vice wave sweeping over this city.
The two men were up for plea to
charges of carnal abuse on December
12 and both officers plead not guilty.
A number of the men arrested in this
cleanup have been up for trial, but
their cases were not disposed of as
yet All of the men arrested in the
vice cleanup are expected to come up
for trial before the April term OF the
grand jury. Both the patrolmen in
this case We're suspended from duty
and according to the authorities Will
not be rcinstated under any circum-
stances.
An action that showed that the po-
licemen throughout the city were
closely associated with the gamblers
in this section, made its appearance
in police circles shortly after the
raiding of Palace hall by Roundsman
Andrew Jenscn and a squad of po-
licemene on Sunday morning. jan
uary II, when fourteen gamblers
were arrested. When they arrived
at the police station three patrolnen,
Steed, Larson and Harding vouched
for the appearance of several Of tho
gamblers for arraignment the follow
ing Monday morning.
For so doing the guilty officers re-
ceived a reprimand from Chief Pat
rick Burke, who informed them that
they must be In lea que with the
gamblers when they are so willing to

PLAN
GAINS FAVOR
Congressman ScuIIy and State
Senator Brown Add Support
tosPropoSed Memorial

Both Congressman Thomas j.
Scully and Senator Brown when re-
quested today for their opinion on
the plan to make the new bridge
across the Raritan river connecting
Perth and South Amboy and North
and South Jersey memorial to the
soldiers Of the state who fought in
the great war just brought to close
were in favor of the project.
Congressman Scully pointed out
that nothing could be more fitting as
a memorial to the boys who gave
their all In the cause OF liberty than
such memorial which would be
used by thousands Of persons each
year. The congressman thought the
Idea splendid and was for it.
Senator Brown stated that he
thought the idea of bridge between
this city and South Amboy as a
memorial to the boys of this state,
and particularly this city and vicin-
ity, was most fitting. He spoke OF the
great work done in the war by the
boys Of this state and city and how
their sacrifices are known through
out the United States.
The senator urged that steps be
taken at once to have the plans for
the new bridge so designed as to
make the bridge a suitable memorial
to the boys, and not just a big iron
span. where all appearances of
memorial Is lacking. He was of the
opinion that the bridge, If it is to be
memorial to the boys, should be So
arranged in the design. One point
he brought out in relation to such
design was that of inscribing on
the structure the names of the towns
or battle fields where the New Jer-
sey lads had fought and suffered the
greatest losses.
1t was the opinion of the senator
that It would not be necessary to pass
any laws making the bridge a memo
rial, If 1t was decided to carry out
the memorial idea.

Eldridge bill before It and the Mac

hope for quick relief. Macksy did
