SALAAM TEMPLE
BUILD MOSQUE
Issue Bonds for $1,250,0 900
to Erect Handsome New
Home in Newark

NEWARK, Aug. 27. - Salaam
Temple of the Mystic Shrine, the
largest organization in New Jersey,
composed of members of the Masonic
fraternity, will erect on its property,
1020-1O24 Broad street, a million
dollar building which will be one of
the finest of its kind in the country
and the last word in Shrine temples.
Announcement of the decision to
build was made today by the poten-
tate of the temple, Edwin S. Bream,
of Elizabeth.
1--WE have decided upon a bond is
sue for $3.50, 000," said Mr.. Bream,
ito cover building and equipment.
The money will be raised by sub
scription among u members. We
now have a membership of more
than 5000, made up of representative
citizens from various parts of north
ern New Jersey, as well as else
where. Many of them are wealthy
and most are well to do and we do
not anticipate any trouble in raising
the funds necessary to carry our
building project to completion in the
very nea future"
Salaam Temple has one of the fin
est properties in the city of Newark.
1t was purchased a year ago last
July. 1t comprises the former homes
ofsthe late ex- United States Senator
John +. Dryden, president of the
Prudential Insurance Company. and
of his son-in-law, Anthony r. Kuser.
The tract is diagonally across the
| street from the home of the late ex-
Governor Franklin Murphy. 1t ex-
tends for III feet along Broad
street, with a depth of 367 feet. 1t
is planned to preserve for the present
the fine Dryden and Kuser mansions
and erect a new building in the rear,
with a covered entrance from Broad
street between the two houses.
In accordance.with the recommen-
dation of a committee of architects,
who are all members of Salaam. the
new temple, or mosque. will contain
an auditorium with q seating capa-
city of $500. together with adequate
facilities for drill practice of the
Arab patrol of the temple and
other activities connected with the
shrine.
AS Newark is greatly in need of
auditorium facilities. it is planned to
make the auditorium available for
entertainments, conventions and
other public uses whenever it is not
in requisition for the shrine's own
purposes.
Salaam Temple was founded In
1903 and has been a successful or
ganization from the start. During
the last few years its membership has
been increasing at an average rate
Of about one thousand annually. 1t
is expected that it will reach the ten
thousand mark by the end of the
year 1925. It's list of ~potentates and
other officers has included many of
the leading business and professionl
men of New Jersey. It's ceremonial
sessions, with their parades and
other public demonstrations, have
made the name of Salaam famous
and have been a leading factor In
| promoting its success

WANTS DUTY ON
CLAY INCREASED
Milton A. Edgar Appears Be-
fore Senate Finance Com
mittee in Regard to Tariff
BY GEORGE II. MANNING.
Washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmbOy Evening News.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Repre-
sentatives of a number of New Jer-
sey industries have appeared before
the senate finance committee in the
past few days to furnish testimony as
to the degree of protection their
business needs in the Fordney bill to
bring about the greatest measure of
prosperity.
Among these have been represen-
tatives of the clay industry, vege-
table oil business, glass business,
steal. cutlery and metals trades.
Milton A. Edgar, of Metuchen,
representing the American Clay Pro
ducers Association, with mines in
North and South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida, and representing also
Edgar Bros. Co, of Metuchen, asked
that the duty on clay and kaolin be
increased to Sc a ton. The rate is
SIPS under the present Underwood
bill and $3.50 in the Fordney bill.
c. l.. Gairoard, sales manager of
J. Wiss & Sons, of Newark. repre-
senting practically all the American
manufacturers of scissors and
shears, defended the Fordney rates
on those articles and said the Amer
lean public would not suffer from
them. He attacked the testimony
given by Robert n. Kastor. a cutlery
importer and manufacturer, who
was on the witness stand the pre-
vious day, and had asserted that the
cutlery schedules will prove to be an
absolute embargo on all foreign
goods, under the American valua-
ton plan.
But when Gailroard took one of
Kastor's samples and endeavored to
prove his position through figures
he failed. He then took another of
Kastor's samples and failed. The
committee appeared to be convinced
that there was some substance to
Kastor's argument.
Later in the day Charles f. VIE
busch, representing the Boxer Cut
lery and Hardware Company of Hill
ton, and other Jersey cutlery con-
Germs, tackled Kastor's position and
he too s%ingularly failed. Mr.. Wei
busch complained that pruning
are now being imported
heavily from Germany free of duty
an appeal to the Court of
Appeals that they are agri-
cultural implements and duty free.
The Germans are shipping them in
large numbers, he said, much below
cost. He asked that in
view of the ruling of the court
pruning shears be specifically men,
in the bill and a duty put on
Mr.. Weibusch also asked
that the duty on hair clippers. which
are made by several New Jersey
companies, be made dutiable at
twenty-five cents each and thirty
five per cent advalorem, instead of
thirty per GER ad valorem in the
Fordney bill.
F. NJ. Turner of the American M.
and Seed Company, with a plant at
Newark, asked that the tariff on

FUNERAL SERVICES
FOR OVERSEAS HERO
[By Evening News correspondent

GBy Evening News Correspondent
MATAWAN. Aug. 27:-The body
of Lieutenant John Oliver Murphy,
of Mount Vernon, was buried yester-
day morning in St. Joseph's ceme-
terry. Lieutenant Murphy was the
son of the late E. L. Murphy, a for
mer resident of this place.
Soon after the beginning of the
war Lieutenant Murphy attended
the officers training camp at Platts-
burg, where he was commissioned a
second lieutenant. He was made a
first lieutenant shortly after reach
ing France. He was with Company
l., 305th Infantry, nth Division. and
was with his company in the Ar
gonne sector when killed during a
battle. The service here was a quiet
one without the usual military cere-
mony.
Lieutenant Murphy was well
known in this borough as he spent

devils also believe and tremble."
Paul, indignant at the plaguing Of
the sorceress. exercised the evil
spirit from the damsel.
Thereby he ran foul of vested
interests" For he wrecked the
business of the girls masters. Just
as the casting out of the money
changers from the temple was a de-
cisive factor in %arousing the rabble
against Jesus, 81 this reform in a
poor young woman'S character
brought the mob baying at Paurs
heels. Touch the pocket nerve and
you get a quick reaction. 1t is liq-
uor business and not the thirsty
public, hat is agitating against
prohibition. Motion picture money
is in the field against censorship
The real force behind the campaign
for a wide-open Sunday is the COM
mercial interests that would profit
thereby. The Hobbies that infest the
outer courts of legislative halls, and
the hidden influences that divert
the stream of common welfare are
usually sordid and mercenary.
Money is more sensitive than con-
science.
Inevitably and universally, a
clear presentation of truth cuts
athwart the interests of bad busi-
ness. Be 1t carefully noted, how
ever that Christianity has nc quar-
rel with business as such. or because
it is big" Christ's teachings con-
denim only bad business, and con-
denim it whether conducted by q
deacon running a crooked corner
grocery store or by a corporation
operating on a worldwide scale. By
its very nature, the Gospel is a
declaration of war against unright-
e%ousness. Wherever it ceases so to
be militant, it loses its true char
acter. Thus the church in Russia
that supported and served the cor
rupt autocracy had in itself become
corrupt. Any congregation that
c~omplacently regards iniquity In it's
membership or in it's community has
reason to question whether it is not
apostate to Christ.

ELECTRIC POWER
IS TURNED OFF.
TottenviIIe Consumers Protest
Against Lights Being Shut
Off Early Two Mornings

tBy Evening News STAFF Correspondent.}
TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 27:-Con-
sumers of electricity in T~ottenville
and other places on this end of the
island are protesting against the
electric current being turned off early
in the morning for the past two
days. This has happened both this
morning and yesterday when the
current was turned off about 5
o'clock. People getting up early are
forced to use oil lamps and candles
to dress themselves by and to get
breakfast. Many people using cleo
trio coasters and other electric uten-
sis in getting breakfast have been
forced to resort to their crude meth
DDS in getting something ready for a
quick meal. The Richmond Light &
Railroad Company, which supplies
the entire island with commercial
service and also the street lighting,
is selling coasters and other cooking
utensils at greatly reduced rates to
get people to use the current at this
time of the day.
When the powerhouse was called
on the telephone this morning in
regard to turning the lights off no
satisfaction was gained. The only
reply was hat the lights would be
turned on again in a short while, but
1t was said hal it was long after Z
o'clock that the power was turned
on again. The street lights are turn
ed off at the same time and those
making their way to a train or boat
at thai hour are forced to go about
in darkness. Considerable trouble
Is experienced with electric lights on
this end of the island at various
times. After every thunder storm
The lights are out for some time and
the people must get out candles or
3il lamps. The matter will probably
be brought to the attention of the
commissioner of water, gas and cleo
tricity for the borough of Richmond
for action.

cocoanut oil and copra, from which
it is made, be permitted to continue
to come free from the Philippines.
Mr.. Turner said the present tariff
was satisfactory to him; that his
Newark plant was running full time
and selling all it could make.
Otto Heinigke, of Camden, repre-
senting the National Ornamental
Glass Manufacturers of America,
himself q manufacturer of stained
glass, complained to the committee
that under paragraph 230 Of the bill,
stained glass is dutiable, but that
under another paragraph it is on the
free list under works of art and that
the Germans are shipping in stained
glass for American church windows
free of all duties, claiming exemp-
ton under the works of art clause.
The German manufacturers have
agents in this country and are out
actively after the business, ne said.
The cost Of production of stained
glass in 63 per cent. higher in Amer
lea than in Germany today, he as
serted, and should have that much
protection.
Wallace l.. Pond, sales manager
Of the Nicholson File Company, with
a plant at Paterson, asserted that
his trade fears ruinous competition
from the Japanese more thar from
the Germans, and asked duties about
40 per cent. higher than those in the
Fordney bill on files.
Numerous New Jersey concerns
have been represented before the
finance committee during the past
few days by men residing outside the
state, but representatives of trade
groups and associations to which
the Jersey industries belong.
The finance committee expects to
finish hearings on the metals, lumber
and sugar schedules this week; TAKE
testimony on the agricultural SEIZED
ules next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, and then switch over to
consideration of the tax bill.
The Republican leaders believe
that if the tariff bill is laid aside and
the tax bill taken up that the latter
can be put in shape for considera-
ton of the senate when the present
recess ends on September 81.
