WhOOping Cough

This is a very dangerous disease,
particularly to children under five
years of age, but when no paregorlc,
codeine or other opiate is given, is
easily cured by giving Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Most people believe
that it must run its course, not know
ing that the time is very much short
ened, and that there is little danger
from the disease when this remedy is
given. 1t has been used in many cpl
denies of whooping cough, with pro-
nounced success. 1t is safe and pleas
ant to observation-disclosures.

ACTION TAKEN
ON CROSSINGS
Hommann is to Represent the
Chamber of Commerce in
City's Elimination Fight

Matters of importance concerning
the grade crossings, port develop
ments, membership drive and cleo
ton of directors and officers of the
Chamber of Commerce were discuss
ed and acted upon at the regular
meeting of the directors of that
body. The most important business
transacted was the appointing of
Judge Charles c. Hommann to repre-
sent the chamber at grade cross
ing hearing before the Public Utility
Commission in Newark on Novem-
ber 10.
Some days ago Mayor William G.
Wilson wrote the secretary. John
F. Bergen, concerning the appoint
ment of a delegate from the Cham
ber of Commerce to the hearing and
in his communication suggested
Judge Hommann as the delegate.
In view of the fact that the Judge
is we'll Versed on the fights made
by the city for elimination of the
crossings and that he was engaged
by the city to conduct cases in
courts and before the Public Utility
Commission, he was selected as the
delegate of the chamber.
At the meeting of the Odvisory
Council of the Port of New York
Authority, representing Monmouth
and Middlesex counties, in the
Chamber of Commerce here last
week. it was suggested that the
Chamber of Commerce appoint
committee to wait on the Board OF
Aldermen and see if some immediate
action could be taken by them to-
wards appointing a committee or
docks and piers. which can show to
the Port of New York Authority
just what Perth Amboy will do to-
wards the improvement of the dock
ing and storage facilities in this city
This matter was discussed al
length by the directors and it was
finally decided to have Isaac Alpern,
the president of the chamber. ap-
point the committee for this purpose
It is likely that Mr.. Alpern will ap-
point the committee this week.
A drive for members will be held
in the near future under the aus
pices of the American City Bureau
Following the membership cam
paign the annual election of Off
GERS and directors will take place

least thirty days previous to the int-
tial game of the schedule and must
not have represented another in
dustry in the league for thirty days"
Forfeiture on the part of one team

next Monday night at o'clock. Each
team will use six players in these
games but they will be allowed a
large number of eligibles from
which to choose their men. Re-
ports received last night showed that
volley ball is becoming popular al
the plants, being INDUCED in noon

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27:-Aver-

by the national employment confer

Harry Jacobs, the next witness,

camps as proposed by the govern
ment would solve the unemployment
| problem as far as unskilled world
war veterans were concerned. Mr..

achusetts was not that there was not
| employment but there was not work
people wanted at the wages they
sought. If applicants for jobs were
willing to accept reductions in wages,
which he declared must take place,
the states employment service could
fill more places.

Argument was concluded here
yesterday before the three Federal
Judges on the question of a prelim-
mary Injunction. The Public Ser
vice is asking for the injunction on
the ground that the order of the
Utility Board denying it ten cent
fare violates the fourteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution in
that it is confiscatory order which
takes the company's property with
out property compensation or due
process of law. A decision from the
court is expected in about two
weeks.
The trio of United States Judges
yesterday listened to two elaborate
arguments made upon behalf of the
municipalities by George l.. Record,
of Jersey City, and Frank Sommer,
of Newark. Former Attorney Cen
eral Robert H. McCarter. of Newark,
replied late in the afternoon for
the company.
Result of Management
Mr.. Record and his associate. Mr..
Sommer. both contended that what
ever plight the company may be in
at the present time financially. is
the result of the management of It's
affairs by it's own officers. Mr.. NC
Carter replying declared the Public
Service Railway badly needs the rev.
enue which the ten cent fare is cal
culated to provide.
eff the court is satisfied that the
Utility Board erred in its estimate
OF earnings the company should
nave" said the Jersey City lawyer.
"then the court should refer this
matter back to the board, which can
be trusted to correct any estimate
in the light of actual facts"
"This application is nothing but an
attempt to bolster up an unsound
financial system" declared Mr.. SOM
mer.
This company is standing here
asking for its life" pleaded Mr.
McCarter.
Attorney General Thomas F. Nc
Gran, Frank Magee and Joseph
Lanigan assistant attorney general
and the following municipal repre-
sentatives were present to look af-
ter the interests of the trolley rid
ers: e. G.. Bleakley, of Camden
Joseph Hague, of Elizabeth; Albert
o Miller, Passaic; Randall Lewis
Paterson; Charles e. Bird, for Tren-
ton. l.. Edward Hermann, of Jer-
sey City, represented the Utility
Board. In addition to Mr.. Robert
HI. McCarter, the following appear
ed for the Public Service: Frank
Bergen, Thomas N. McCarter, pres
ident OF the company, and former
Senator Edmund w. Wakelee, OF
|. Bergen county.
In his argument Mr.. Record out
lined four reasons why the Public
Service finds itself in financial diff
culties. These points follow:
Mortgaging its revenue by I'M
provident rentals to underlying
companies.
Diverting money from its depre'
citation fund in 1917 to pay divi'
dcnds, according to the opinion OF
the Utility Board rendered July 10
1918.
Delaying from December 3, 1918
to December Z 1920. an application
for relief when it knew all the time
that a seven cent fare was not ade'
quate revenue.
Permitting jitneys to enter com
petition to the extent of carrying
125.OOO, 900 passengers year while
the company was handling 10000

Tuo Kinds of Shooting,
Craps and Gun, Breaks Up
Outdoor Sport; No Arrests

This has to do with two kinds of
shooting-craps and revolver. The
time was Sunday afternoon and the
place was the Raritan Copper Works
field.
A session with the galloping dom
inoes was in progress on the field,
the scene of many such competitions
as well as baseball games, athletic
meets, welcome homes for soldiers
and similar events. A siZeable knot
OF interested watchers was gathered
around, intently following the erratic
manifestations of the spotted cubes
which sometimes purchase "shoes
for the baby" and other times make
a man long for another payday.
Evidently the game was interest
ing and absorbing for the exhorters

of "a flock of deuces" and similar
difficult points of attainment failed
to observe the stealthy approach Of
the representative of law and order.
The cop took in the operations of the
assembled multitude and then things
began to happen.
Suddenly a different kind of shot
rang out, silencing the appeals to
Big Dick" and the other members
of the family. This shot did not
signify the death of crap" Meth
er was it the resounding slap of a
natural propelled from expert
hands. 1t was a sure enough bullet
from the cops revolver and served
to Immediately scatter the crap
shooters, distributing them hurriedly
to parts unknown.
No arrests were made. No arrest
could be made unless the cop was
capable of dividing himself into fif-
teen parts and chasing fifteen differ
ent startled gamblers. The game
was effectually broken up.
