fense, in making plea for LEM
iency, referred to the story being
circulated by Kovalisky. and claim
ed that on the day in question Mo-
ritko stopped Kovalisky for the

HALL AVENUE
SCHOOL ACTION
Matter is Again Taken Up by
the Board of Edu-
cation
500 MORE PUPILS HERE:
Definite Action to be Taken at
the Next Meeting of
the Board

Reviewing briefly the general
school situation the Board of Edu-
cation brought to light last night
that there are about 500 more pupils
in school this year than at the end
OF last term, this number meaning
that, in order to supply sufficient
room, fifteen additional rooms would
be necessary. In view of the fact
that the schools were overcrowded
last year, it was readily seen that
the 500 extra pupils cause numerous
complications in the system.
These figures brought about a
continuance of the old discussion in
reference to the erection of a new
school on Hall avenue which was
petitioned at the same time the wing
for the high school was requested.
BY the next meeting some course
will have been decided whereby the
Board of Education will again bring
the matter up before the Board of
Aldermen. The high school wing
which. when completed, will relieve
the situation in that institution to
small degree will be not even u
drop in the bucket" unless the Hall
avenue school is erected, it was said.
At the present time there are
numerous part time classes and
every available. space has been con-
verted into classrooms. Some of the
teachers take two half day classes
and handle regularly more than
eighty pupils. :,
Just what action the board will
take was not decided upon, but 1t
was conceded that the project must
not be dropped. Special pressure
must pe brought to bear Immediate
ly for conditions, even after the hign
school wing is occupied, will steadily
grow worse, it was said.
In conformation with the thrift
activities that are being carried on
throughout the country the Perth
Amboy Trust Company asked the
cooperation of the Board of Educa-
ton in an essay project to be
brought into the schools. The board
looked favorably upon the request
which asked that contes. be held,
the compositions to be written on
thrift for the best two of which
prizes will be given. The local bank
will carry on it's thrift activities
from December 1 to February 1.
The request of the Armistice Day
Association for the use of the walks
in front of the high school and 100
chairs to form a grandstand for the
parade to be held November IL was
granted by the board.

voirs in the world. covering eight
acres of ground, containing enough
concrete to lay twelve miles of road,
and large enough to hold 40.000,0OO

port development and what it would
mean to South Amboy. He said that
as an engineer he had done every
thing in his power to make this
section one of the create. ports in
the world and felt that by being IN

places along the Raritan river and
Staten Island sound on the map" by
improving their waterfronts and
getting deeper water. He spoke
favorably of the proposed belt line
from New Brunswick along the
Raritan river to South Amboy and

WASHINGTON, Nov. A new
resolution ordering a special COM
mittee TO Investigate charges by Sem

Senator Watson told the senate to-
day that his charge that twenty-one
American soldiers had been hang
ed in France. like dogs" without
trial had been based on the state
ment of a soldier who said he had
seen the gallow5 and had been told
by the scaffold guard that this num-
ber had been hanged.
When the senate convened an
hour later than usual to take up the
charges. Senator Edge, Republican.
New jersey, opened with severe crit
icism of the Georgia senator for at
tempting TO place in the congress
sional record a photograph of a
gallows said TO have been used in
France.
Replying Senator Watson referred
to the picture showing the hanging
of a negro for an attack on the ht-
tie French girl and added:
"Since when has il become legal
to disgrace the uniform of the
American army by hanging it at the
end of a halter?"
Senator Watson called attention
that in the casualty list issued dur
ing the war there appeared the
phrase:
''Died from other causes" and

Senatro Edge said that Mr.. Wat

Senator Edge asked whether SEN

charges of Illegal execution with
out trial by presenting the photo
graph of the gallows."
THE issue in this case cannot he
camouflaged." said Senator Edge.
NO one claimed that men were not
