HERCULES POWDER co,
BUYS OUT AETNA co,

Rumors of the proposed purchase
of the Aetna Explosives Company
by the Hercules Powder Company
received confirmation yesterday
when the stockholders of the Aetna
Company sanctioned the sale of its
properties, assets and business. This
marks the elimination of a transact
ton that has interested financial and
business circles for the past two
years, and which. in addition t be-
ing a deal of considerable moment,
also presents an unusual legal as
pect.
Although it has been understood
thai negotiations have been under
way between the two companies
since the close of the a it was not
until the petition of the Hercules
Powder company for permission to
purchase the Aetna company had
been acted upon f%avorably by the
circuit court of appeals of Delaware
that the proposition assumed def
mite form. The Hercules company
was created by a court decree in an
action brought by the United States
against the DUPONT company and,
although not a party to the action,
is bound by certain injunctions in the
final decree. For this reason it was
necessary to petition the court to eff
feet the present transaction by
which the Hercules company ac-
quires nine plants manufacturing
blasting powder. blasting caps and
illuminate of mercury.

CROWD At CONVENTION

Perth Amboy Lodge, No. 1884,
Benevolent and Protective Order of

part in the annual reunion and o n
vention of the New Jersey Elks AS
ISOLATION to be held at Long
Branch on Monday and Tuesday,
June 81 and 2S. according to the an
nouncement made at a meeting of

The lodge has decided to run an

committee arranging for this part of

members and the general public who
wish to take advantage of going
down to the seashore to witness the
parade of the various lodges of the
order throughout the state.
Long Branch Lodge in whose
club house the convention will be
held is arranging for a three days
event, commencing with Sunday,
June &c, when an entertainment
will be given at the Long Branch
theatre. There will be music by a
band and an orchestra will render
selections, and glee club will sing,
and General Ballington Booth, OF
the Salvation Army, will be thu
speaker.
On Monday the business session
of the convention will be held at
the club house of the Long Branch
Lodge of Elks and this will be fol-
lowed at night by a banquet to the
members and delegates at the Shore
Club.
Tuesday there will be athletic
events in the morning and in the af-
ternoon the parade will be held
starting at 2 o'clock. State Presi-
dent Fletcher Fits will preside at
the two days session. In the cleo
ton of new officers for the ensuing
year there are two candidates in
the field, John H.. Cose of Plain
field, and e. G. Brown of Bayonne.
A spirited contest is expected be-
tween the two well known Elks
throughout the state.
Past Exalted Ruler Ferd Garrett
70 is the representative of the local
lodge at the convention. Past Ex-
allied Ruler Edgar Il. Reed also of
the local lodge, who is the state
secretary, is expected to be named
again for another term.

DISMISS WRITS OF ERROR
IN MONMOUTH ACTION
IBy Evening News Correspondence

lBy Evening News Correspondent
TRENTON. June S:-Dismissing
writs of error sued out by Peter o..
Weigand and John Fitzgerald. the
supreme court has upheld the Mon
mouth County Board of Freehold
ers in appointing successors to them
as county superintendent of weights
and measures. The courts decision
in effect holds that a tenure of office
act of 1920 is not retroactive.
Weigand and Fitzgerald were ap-
pointed January ., 1918, by Glenn l..
Berry. On January Z, 1921, the free
holders terminated the services of
the assistant superintendent. The
supreme court held that unless spe-
officially stated the act could not be
interpreted as retroactive. Further
h court held there is nothing in
the enture of office statute indicating
that the legislature intended the
protection to apply to incumbents, at
the time the tenure legislation was
enacted.
When the legislature intends to
give to such legislation a retroactive
intent, said the court, it will do it
with such choice of words and
place the meaning to be conveyed
beyond the realm of doubt.
The court filed a memorandum
deferr1ng action in the suit brought
by William O'Brien against Walter
Gravatt, of Monmouth county, con-
testing the action of the sheriff in
removing O'Brien from his position
as deputy and appointing Miss Ber-
tina Storer in his place. The court
held that Miss Storer should have
been given opportunity to be heard
in court and suggested that the case
be submitted at the opening of the
November term of the supreme
court.

WASTE AMI
WEAR WELL!
Human Bodies Are Poisoned by Their
DUN Waste. Most Illnesses
Are PreUentabIe.

Thehumanbodyha has to be cheated and
fine foods burned inside the body pro-
duce muchwaste. Allthis waste should
be removed from the body regularly,
thoroughly, daily, by the ~eliminative
organs,-which are the bowels, kid
neys, skin, and to some extent the
lungs. These should act in harmony
if the bowels are inactive extra
effort is required of the others,
which easily become ~deranged. Many
medicines will force bowel action
temporarily but the a~fter-effects are
harmful. Many remedies are adver-
tised, some of which have proven
year after year to be reliable, efficl-
emit, and without harmful action or
effect. Take Beecham's Pills for ex-
ample. For over 10 years Beech
ANS has been a household word all
over the world. 10 years of use
by all sorts of folks, men, women
and even children, have proven first,
that Beecham's Pills do what Is
claimed for them; second, that they
are harmless, do not produce bad
effects. Some medicine forces Nature
to unnatural action. Other medicines,
like those contained in Beecham's
Pills assist Nature, act mildly, per-
suade and hence produce no harmful
effects. 1t is common to find fam
lilies in which Beecham's have been
used by several generations, their
use handed down from father to son
and from mother to daughter.
That's the best possible recon-
mendation for any remedy. Every
druggist sells Beecham's, is glad to
do so because he knows that their
reputation has been won by merit.

The Peoples Relief. instituted for
the benefit of the people in the var
stricken regions of Central and East
ern Europe, and the Palestine Re
lief Fund, a branch of which has
been organized in Perth Amboy,
have arranged for a concert upon
the program of which will appear
artists well known in the musical

worthy. and at the same time offer
vocalists and instrumental artists
whom the community seldom has
an opportunity of hearing. The con-
cert will be held on June 81 in the
Majestic theatre and it is expected
that the house will be filled to capa-
city. Tickets are now on sale.
/. Prastro BOrissoff, the well
known violinist and composer. will
probably be the main attraction, and
this one artist alone is worthy the
support of the community. l. Cheri-
nowsky, the famous cellist and who
has become known because of his
connections with Nazimova, will
give several selections while Karen
Post, a Metropolitan lyric soprano, is
also on the program
