AS SEALER OF WEIGHTS
BY stan Correspondent.

Stan Correspondent.
METUCHEN. Jan. zz.-Another
phase of the fight regarding the
Office of County sealer of weights
and measures was brought to light
yesterday, when the statement was
made that efforts have been put
forth to try and satisfy both the
Democratic incumbent who retains
the Office and the Republican ap-
pointee, by making the latter an as
sistant to Mr.. Robbins.
That Joseph Fertig of New Bruins
wick who was appointed by the
freeholders to succeed Mr.. Robins,
has approached the local man with
the suggestion that he lay the mat
ter before the county board was the
statement made by Mr.. Robins yes
terday. This suggestion of making
a ffty-fifty split of the job, Mr..
Robins absolutely declines as he
proposes to be the whole thing or
nothing"
Whether this suggestion" was
made with the sanction of the Re-
publican leaders is not known
though it is very doubtful.
Mr.. Robbins continues as county
sealer of weights and measures,
contending that he has not been
busted from the office by the county
board of freeholders, even though
his salary for the first half of the
month mas lot been paid.
The sealer stated yesterday that
he had never been notified by the
county board that his services had
been dispensed with and that it was
his intention of remaining in office.
M 1eVal fight will he Instituted hV
him to protect his rights as any ac-
ton to be taken will have to be
taken by the freeholders. he de-
clared. Neither the pay of Mr.. Rob-
bins nor the Republican a%ppointee
will be rendered by the board of
freeholders until the matter is set
tied. this step being on the advice of
County Solicitor Frederick +. Rich
ardson.

CHANNEL
At EIGHT FEET
Favorable Report BY War De-
partment to That Extent on
Woodbridge Greek.

A Communication received from
the war department at Washington
by the Chamber of Commerce con-
corning the dredging of Woodbridge
creek, which was reported on I'M
favorably by J.. c. Sanford, colonel
of the corps of engineers. states that
although the report was unfavora-
BILE to deepening the channel to
twelve feet, it was favorable to
keeping the channel at its present
depth of eight feet.
However. in the communication
IL is pointed out that no one except
congress is in position to guarantee
hat future appropriations will be
be adequate to even maintain the
creek at eight feet depth, and that
in the past the appropriations have
not been sufficient to permit the
existing project TO be fully main
tanned. This means that the plants
on the banks of the creek and the
local Chamber of Commerce must
always keep the importance of this
creek before congress so that suffi-
cient money will be voted to main
tain the present depth of eight
feet.
Some idea of the necessity OF
keeping this creek at a depth so that
boats and barges a use its water
is shown by the following shipments
which have been made by only one
plant IN its banks. In 1919 this con-
GER shipped 190.690 barrels valued
at $858.105; in 1920. a total of 1885,
004 barrels was shipped. valued at
SS37,01S. During the present year
the company expects to ship $780,
600 barrels. a a total valuation of
$1,575,000. During the year 1919
the total number of barges docking
at this m factory were 100. and in
1920 there were eighty-nine.
The report of Colonel Sanford ap-
proves that the creek is maintained
at a depth of eight feet for a dis
lance of $500 feet and the chamber
of commerce will cooperate in
every way possible with those inter-
ested in seeing that proper appro-
priations are granted to maintain
the creek at eight feet at mean low
water.

Kaiser and Hindenburg could not
do at Cantigny and scissors, name
ly lick General Summeriil," declar-
ed Lieut.. Col. Dennis p. Quinlan,
judge advocate at Camp Dix This
comment was made by the Colonel
here at the conference with SUI
preme Court Justice Kalisch and
the prosecutor called by the first
named to discuss the row which Is
on between the Camp Dix Comman-
dant and the Pemberton authori-
ties.
Supreme Court Justice Kalisch,
whose Jurisdiction includes Burfing-
ton county, advised Mr.. Kelsey 10
be sure of his facts in the case and
then to take proceedings in event
he found a violation of the aw. The
controversy was started over the
question of the Pemberton school
officials, of whom Kelsey is one,
forcing the Camp Dix officers and
soldiers TO pay for their children's
education in the Pemberton High
School.
Kelsey charges that General

cratically outlawed Pemberton. so
far as the inhabitants of the camp
are concerned and they are for
hidden to enter the ~borough's con-
fines. The authorities of the camp,
speaking for the general. have re-
piled that vice is rampant in the
community and in other parts of
the county and that Kelsey, the
chief representative of the State
there, has failed TO clean up the
situation. The result has worked
havoc among the soldiers, according
to contention of the camp officials.
Kelsey has threatened to ask for
a congressional investigation of
Summerills attitude. and is quoted
as even declaring he would put the
general under arrest
There is now talk that New Jer-

break of the war. II is understood
that General Summerill wants the
camp retained in New Jersey. So
far as can be recalled. the state
through its legislative body has
never ceded TO the federal govern
ment control of the lands upon
which Camp Dix is established. This
is a customary procedure in all such
cases. Governor Edwards in his
message TO the legislature only a
week or so age urged this action be
taken by the lawmakers with respect
to the Raritan Arsenal located near
Metuchen on a site covering 2,0Se
acres. When the state cedes the

SAY PRODUCER
TOOK MONEY
of Crescent Theatre
Aired in Police Court. Film
Men Held in Bail.

Floyd T. Buckley, 251 ". S9th
street. New York. manager of the
company playing "Madonnas and
Men" at the Crescent theatre this
week, was held in $500 bail this
morning by Recorder P~ickersgill to
await the action of the grand jury
on a larceny charge preferred by
Nathan Machett, proprietor of the
Crescent theatre. Senator Thomas
Brown represented the defendant
at this hearing, and Henry K. Go
lenboch represented the complain
ant.
The proprietor of the theatre
told the court that Buckley took
S186 from the box Office of the the
atre Thursday night without being
authorized to do so. Senator
Brown produced a contract. which
Machett agreed had been made with
the picture corporation of which
Buckley is the representative, but
the complainant declared the con-
tract had been cancelled Thursday
morning. The contract called for
the company to receive the first
$1,000 of the gross receipts of the
show, and Machett stated in court
this morning that up to he pres

Thomas Melrose. manager of the
theatre. stated that s156.77 was
taken in at the theatre Thursday.
and that at s o'clock he was told by
his cashier about Buckley taking
the money. Miss Ada Goldstein
cashier at the theatre stated that
Buckley came to the box office ap-
parently under the pretense of
wanting change of a 500 bill and
that when she reached down to see
if she had the change, Buckley took
the money.
Senator Brown requested that the
defendant be allowed to make a
statement, and this request was
granted by the court. T he defend
ant told of taking the $50 wrapped
up, and s36 in bills, counted before
the cashier. and for which he gave
a receipt. Buckley told the court
of refusals by Machett to make
as promised.
Buckley was arrested yesterday
by Patrolman James Mo-
on complaint of the proprietor
of the theatre. He was charged
being a disorderly person, but
charge was not pressed this
morning.

STARTS
WORK PROGRAM
Unemployment Situation Is
Taken Up At Busy Meeting
of the Post Last Night.

The subject of unemployment
among the ex-service men of the
city was discussed at length at the
regular meeting of Perth Amboy
Post No. AS, American Legion, last
night in the auditorium of the Y.
NJ. C. A., and it was found that the
condition, becoming quite serious,
will require much time and effort on
the part of the unemployment COM
mittee and entire post if assistance
is to be given. Registering of I'M
employed ~ex-service men in the
Raritan building in the past two
days shows seventy applications
filled out in that short time with a
possibility of as many more in a
corresponding time.
Now that the post is certain as to
how the situation stands. it is able to
go ahead and take some definite ac-
ton in the effort to find work for
these men to tide them over the
slack time.
The plan to bring stop Thief"
the comedy farce hat had such a
long and successful run in New York
10 Perth Amboy on Feb. IS met with
great approval from the post. and
il is calculated that the money
which ought to be realized from this
affair will mean a considerable
swelling of the relief fund which
will probably have to be used If the
industrial conditions do not i'm
prove very soon. 1t is calculated to
have a dance follow the play and a
New York orchestra to furnish the
music and the post is looking to the
entire community to support this
undertaking.
A get-together smoker to be held
within the next two or three weeks
was reported upon by the chairman
of the smoker committee. and 1t is
hoped that the result will be a bet
ter knowledge of n another among
the Legionaires and a hearty spirit
of cooperation will result from it.

SPEED
IN LEGISLATURE
Action to Have Short Session
of Senate and Assembly Is
Taken at Trenton.
By Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent
TRENTON, Jan. 22.-Republi-
can House Leader I. Harry Row
land, of Camden, wants a snort
snappy session of the 1921 leigsla-
ture and today announced thai ne
has instructed the chairmen OF all
House committees to call meetings
of these subdivisions of the assem-
bly, for either next Monday after
noon or Tuesday morning so that
immediate consideration can be
given to the bills which have been
referred TO the respective COM
mittees. 1t is the idea of the House
leader that If action on bills can be
speeded up as fast as they are pre-
scented for consideration the work
of the present session will be prac-
tically cleaned up in about seven
weeks.
1t seems to be taken for
granted that the present legislature
will not prolong its sessions all
through the present year, as it did
in 1920 watching Gov. Edwards
The fight over the Public Utility
Board is nearing close and this was
one of the things which kept the
Republican majority on the job.
fearing Mr.. Edwards might put
something over" on the G. o. P.
There has been no official declara-
ton as TO a year long session, but
the attitude taken by Mr.. Rowland
in declaring for action on all bills
in seven weeks presages an early
and final adjournment in the opin-
ion of observers here.
1t is the idea Of the House leader
that business-like methods should
be again employed in ~transacting
the work OF the 1921 lawmaking
body. The record for legislative
speed in dispatching its annual bust
ness was made in 1918 under the
guiding hand of Governor Walter
Z. Edge. who urged a short session
in his annual message. That body
of lawmakers completed its tasks by
the end of February. II Mr.. Row
lands stand for expediting the bust
ness of the present session is adopt
ed by his colleagues. the 1921 legis-
lature will probably be able TO equal
the standard set by their predeces-
sors of 1918.
The Republican program of legis-
lation is being given the right of
way. and it is expected to be COM
pleted in a very short time. Several
of the measures endorsed in the last
state platform of the party have al
ready passed the House and will be
ready for Senate consideration. be-
ginning Monday night. Mr.. Row
land today called attention particu-
larly to the bill to further the Della
ware River and Hudson River
Vehicular Tunnel plans. This meas
ure allows payment OF the interest
on the bond issues out of the state
treasury pending the collection of
the taxes to cover the interest.
This bill has already passed the
House of assembly and gone TO the
senate. where action will likely send
IL to Governor Edwards hand for
approval within another week. The
same curse has been taken with
several other party bills. notably
those relating to the interests of
women and urged by the Republican
women of the state.

The precise method of procedure

Il feel strongly that steps ahou1@
be taken promptly after the new 80
ministratfon is established to hr110
about a general agreement on thu
question. 1t is plainly practical ~
accomplish this before the chanE1

The precise measure of proceed
ure through which the attempts
should be made I think ought to be
determined after and not before Mr..
Harding and his secretary of state
have had an opportunity to inform
themselves and 10 reach conclusion
as 10 which way affords the best
prospects of success. Action on your
part based upon any opinion which
you can form now as to the best
method of procedure might prove to
be just the wrong thing and might
create obstacles TO success instead
of helping it along.
The subject is especially dif5-
cult because of the disturbed con-
di.ion OF eastern Europe and it is
difficult because too many nations
have special apprehensions of dan
ger against which they wish to
guard. The new administration
will soon learn what is the best way
to deal with these difficulties 1t
may be that they cannot all be
dealt with in the same way or by
the same process.
