PROGRESS CLUB BUYS
Site FOR new QUARTERS

The expansion of the activities of
the Progress Club. one of the fore
most Jewish social organizations of
Perth Amboy. has resulted in the
purchase of new property in which
the Grub will make its home as soon
as the necessary renovation has been
completed. Title was taken yester-
day TO the property on High street,
opposite the Knights of Columbus
headquarters, known as the Lang
don property. The entire house and
grounds will be changed making the
new home of the Progress Club a
thoroughly modern clubhouse.
Besides cultivating the grounds
which have been neglected for some
time, a tennis court will be added in
the rear. The exterior of the build
ing will be rebuilt to some extent and
paint ed. while the renovation of the
interior will cost approximately $15,-
600.
The club will move from it's pres
Gnt home at the corner of State and
Gordon streets, where 1t has been
situated for more than six years.
Formerly the home of Abel Hansen,
the present clubhouse was purchas-
ed in October of 1914.
The officers of the club are: David
J. Kaufman, president. Lyman
Friedman, vice-president; Alexander
Hummer. secretary and Joseph Lub-
in, treasurer.

R. R. CROSSING
FIGHT 4~SEARTS
U. S. Supreme Court Today
Hears Argument in Pater-
son City Case Against R.R.
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Argu-
ments were presented in the Su-
preme court today in the series OF
suits brought TO test the validity of
orders issued by the board Of public
utilities of Paterson. N. j. requiring
the Erie railroad company to elevate
its main line through the city SO as
to eliminate fifteen grade crossings.
Because of its sweeping character,
effecting all telephone and telegraph,
water, gas and street railway lines
at the present crossing, several other
firms Joined with the railway in op-
posing the order. They included the
Public Service Railway, Western
Union, Passaic Water Company and
Morris & Company.
The boards order and the state
law under which it was issued were
both attacked as unconstitutional on
the ground that they violated the
fourteenth amendment. Counsel
for the plaintiff asserted that the
effect of the order was to take their
property without due process of law
in that it would compel them to ex-
pend thousands of dollars for con-
struction of new facilities to replace
those now in use and hitherto found
satisfactory.
Counsel for the city argued that
common law imposes upon a rail-
road the duty of maintaining public
highways where they cross the rail-
road, in condition for safe and con-
venient use at all times" and that
such crossings included those of
highways constructed after the issu-
ance of the charter to the railroad.

URGED HERE
Municipal Slaughter House is
Recommended by Board of
Health to Better Conditions
SENT TO THE ALDERMEN
Matter Will be Investigated,
it Being Referred to a Com
mittee of Whole of Board

The following letter was received
by the Board of Aldermen last night
from Health Officer Charles s.
Thompson in reference to the erec-
tion of a new municipal slaughter
house. This question has been be-
fore the various boards of health for
several years and at the last meet
ing of this body, after hearing the
sentiment of a group of representa-
tives frcm the vicinity of the pres
ent slaughter house, it was deemed
necessary to take some radical step
to remedy the conditions now exist
ing.
ITO the Board of Aldermen
Perth Amboy, N. j.
Honorable Sirs:
"At a regular meeting of the
Board of Health held on Nov. ..
1920, /, as secretary was instructed
to communicate with your honorable
body, to request that steps be taken
for The erection of municipal
slaughter house, inasmuch as the
present slaughter house is not suffi-
ciently large enough in construction
so as to take care of the volume of
business it has, in a sanitary man.
ner.
This board feels that the only
solution to this problem is a munich
pal slaughter house, in the construc-
ton of which ample arrangement
could be made for the slaughtering
and refrigeration of dressed beef.
'The demand for a slaughter
house for fresh killed beef is suffi-
ciently large enough to warrant the
erection of a new slaughter house.
II am in a position to give fig
ures showing the amount of stock
killed annually, If your body desires
such information.
This board has. on several occa-
sions taken steps to remedy the
sanitary conditions, but the business
in the present slaughter house has
increased to such an extent that the
steps taken have proved to be but
temporary remedies.
Hoping that this will receive fav-
orable notice from your honorable
body, we beg to remain.
Respectfully,
Charles S. Thompson, Sec'y.

CS|PO VERDICT
IS NOT GUILTY
Judge Daily Sees No Legal
Proof of Charges and
Throws Case Out of Court

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 16:--
The trial of Louis Csipo, Perth Am
boy foreign banker, came to an un-
expected and sudden conclusion
yesterday afternoon when the case
was stopped by Judge Peter L. DAILY,
after about one half of the states
testimony had been heard, who de-
clared that mot an atom of legal
proof that would sustain the charges
against the defendant had been pro-
duced" and directed the jury to re-
turn a verdict of not guilty. The
jury Immediately carried out the
judges instructions, the verdict
freeing Csipo coming at 4:30 o'clock.
Helen Kopar, of Paterson street,
Perth Amboy. the sixteen year old
girl, whom Csipo was alleged to
have wronged while she was living
at his home, testified that Csipo was
in no way responsible for her be-
coming a mother. The girl told the
same story she did at the time OF
Csipo's arrest in Perth Amboy last
October which was that she had been
attacked by an unknown man near
Washington Park while coming
home from her grandmother's. she
was beaten to unconSciousnesS she
claimed and said she did not know
who was the father of her child. The
girl denied having ever told either
DIR. Frank Henry or Adolph Green
baum, both of Perth Amboy, while
she was in the Perth Amboy City
Hospital, that Csipo was the Cause
of her being in that institution. She
flatly denied other accusations re-
garding her actions witt Csipo. in
whose home she lived for three
years.
Margaret Kopar. ten years old,
sister Od Helen, testified to working
at Csipo's home at the same time
as her older sister but was unable
to straighten out the dates mention
ed by her. Her evidence was of a
nature as to be detrimental to the
defendant but a motion was made
to have all of it stricken out owing
to her failure to definitely state the
time the various incidents occurred.
Her testimony was allowed to stand
by the court, however.
Sander Kopar, the father OF
Helen, said that she had become
sixteen years old on October 81 last
and had lived for three years at the
Csipo home. He said he saw her at
the Perth Amboy hospital three
days after the operation had been
performed and then decided to
make the charge against Csipo. The
witness admitted having been con-
victed of crime at one time. lie
produced the girls baptismal certi-
ficate- which showed she was born
in 1904. although the figures had
been changed to 1901, he explaining
that his daughter had changed the
date in order that she might secure
her work papers.
No other witnesses for the state
were given an opportunity to testi-
fy. At this point Judge Daily. AS
sistant Prosecutor John A. Coan,
and Attorneys Russell Il. Watson
and stephen +. Somogyi, represent
ing Csipo. held a conference after
which Judge DAILY directed a ver-
dict of not guilty.

HEAR PERJURY
CHARGE TODAY
Trial of Three Perth Amboy
Men Comes as Result of
Vice Clean Up Case Here
BY STAFF Correspondent.

BY Stan Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 16:-
Frank Magyar, Mike Subatech and
Steve Vukcevich, of Perth Amboy,
are on trial before Judge DAILY this
morning in the county court on an
indictment charging them with sub
ordination of perjury in connection
with the grand jury investigation of
the Perth Amboy vice cleanup raid.
1t is likely that the case will occupy
the attention of the court through
out the entire day.
On December of last year Steve
Szanto, of keasbey, went before the
grand jury and under oath stated
that his daughter, Julia. was eigh-
teen years old when she was only
fourteen years of age. Szanto later
pleaded guilty to making a false
oath, and this morning before the
court the man stated that the girl
will be sixteen years old January
of next year.
The state will show that the de-
PENDANTS in this case visited Santos
home and demanded that he state
the girls age as eighteen. One of
the defendants, Steve Vukcevich,
was being investigated on serious
charge brought by the girl at that
time. The father of the girl has
told that the defendants. came to
him and promised to free the girl
if he would say that she was eigh-
teen. and it is claimed they offered
to pay any expenses he would incur.
Robert Macan, a court clerk, in
troduced the book of the grand jury
showing that regular session was
held on December of last year.
and Anthony Silver. clerk of the
grand jury. testified that SZanto was
before the grand jury on this date
and stated the age of the girl as
eighteen. The case is being prose-
cuted by Joseph Stricken and Thorn
as Brown represents the defendants.
Mrs. Szanto is in court, as is her
daughter, who was returned from
the Clinton reformatory by Detec-
tive Fitzpatrick.
Szanto was still on the stand
when the court adjourned for lunch
at / o'clock. Senator Thomas
Brown, counsel for the defendants,
is putting this witness through 2
gruelling examination in an endeav-
or to bring out testimony that his
clients did not tell Szanto to testify
in court that his daughter was eigh-
teen years old. He told the court
that the three men accompanied
him from Perth Amboy on Decem-
ber and throughout the trip eau
toned him to say the girl was eigh-
teen years old.

SEE No COAL
FAMINE HERE
Situation Here at Present is
Not Serious, But Some
Dealers Are Optimistic.

The coal situation in this city has
not as yet reached the stage that it
would be termed coal shortage"
but if the present slow deliveries
continue as they have in the past
few weeks, the coal dealers here say
that there will be small quantity
of fuel in this city within the next
two months.
Most of the coal companies here
report that they have a supply on
hand, but not enough to fill the or
ders they have on their books at
this time. The larger part of them
are filling present requirements in
one to three ton loads. and they are
doing all in their power to give each
customer share of the supply in
their yards.
The dealers are of the opinion
that difficulties in transportation
are responsible for the larger per-
centage of the lack of sufficient fuel
to supply the demand. They say
that in order to meet the less than
normal coal requirements they must
use discretion. and precaution in
filling all customers requests.
Some coal companies complain
that they cannot get more fuel for
some time, while others report that
they were to get a new supply by
the middle of this month, but that
they are now informed that it will
be some few weeks before any cars
can be sent to this city.
Chestnut and stove coal are the
two kinds that seem to be short in
the market. and are the most in de-
mand The dealers, however, state
that this city will not suffer as
other places in the country from a
coal shortage, and they believe they
will be able to take care of the city's
requirements. though some custoiL-
ers will not be able to set as much
as they want.
