ISSUE WARMING
AGAINST FRAUD
Chamber of Commerce Plans
to Issue Booklet Against
Fake Stock Selling Scheme

In order TO guard people against
purchasing worthless stock from
many of the stock selling schemes
that are now flooding the country.
the Chamber of Commerce is plan
ming TO have printed a small card
headed Beware of Frauds" which
will be distributed in quantities to
members of the association to be
used in sending out letters. The
idea is TO have the members put one
of the cards in each letter sent out.
This is only one of the many plans
which will be adopted by the Cham
Der of Commerce In carrying on It's
fight against the fake stock schemes.
Another plan which will be adopt
ed will be TO have anyone who de-
sires to purchase stock of concern
of which little is known. TO request
the chamber to investigate the con-
eern. which will be done and re-
port submitted of the findings.
The card for use in the letters VIII
contain the following message:
Beware of Frauds. Many Perth
Ambov people are falling for worth
less stock schemes. Don't be one of
them. This slip is sent out by the
Perth Amboy Chamber of Com
merce to warn you. Since the war
many oil. rubber, manufacturing and
land companies have been organ
lied. Some of them are Ok; some
are swindles; some are Just pure
CANDLES. And the gambling is done
with your money. A good thing
doesn't have to be peddled. These
schemes look well on the outside
because they are made 10 sell. You
ask: How can l know whether it is a
good investment for my s25, 500
or 5000 Ask your banker or sub
nit the proposition TO the Chamber
OF Commerce. Don't be ashamed TO
ask for this advice. Better get a
little free advice than lose your
money"

MAY BUY MORE
FIRE MACHINES
Steamer Motor and Hose and
Chemical Auto Considered
for GarfieIds and Humanes
HAVE INSPECTION TODAY
Matter to be Faken Up To-
night at Meeting OF the
Board of Aldermen.
HAVE INSPECTION TODAY

Motorization of the steamer and
combination hose and chemicai
wagon of the Garfield Hose Com.
pany In order that second piece Oh
fire apparatus, the properly OF the
Humane Chemical Hook and Lad
der Company, may also be nousea
in the same building, Is possible as
the result of an inspection OF the
firehouse made by the board OF al
dermen this morning.
The aldermen's action this morn
ing came as the result of the ap-
pearance before. the body last FRI
day night of a delegation from the
Humane company asking for a piece
of apparatus and a house In when
to- keep it. The company, 1t was
pointed out, had been organized Tor
seven years. and although they had
been promised a truck from time 10
time had never received the ap-
paratus.
1t was decided Friday night 10
make an inspection OF the earned
firehouse at the corner of Amooy
and Hall avenue this morning. The
aldermen found that by tearing OUT
the part of the building now used as
stables for the four horses, and
making a few other alterations
there would be sufficient room to
house a second machine which
would be the property Of the HUI
name Company.
AS far as could be learned this
would mean the purchasing OF two
motorized pieces of fire apparatus
as no room will remain in the IRE
house for the horses. At present
the Garfields have an engine anu
combination hose and chemical
wagon, each drawn by two horses.
IL a combination pumping engine
and hose auto truck were purchased
for the Garfields this one truck
would do the work now requiring
two pieces of apparatus. There
would also be a decrease of two
janitors, it is pointed out. The other
motor truck would be assigned to
the Humanes. Some action on this
matter may be taken tonight at the
aldermen's regular meeting.
Several other important matters
will come before the aldermen at
their meeting tonight. The 1921
budget will have a public hearing
and some changes may be made at
this time. The matter of street
pavements will be considered and it
is understood that a report will be
made by the committee of the whole
on the request of the police for
$500 bonus.

TOkIO. Jan. 17-Government
officials nave not as yet made public
the text of the American note pro-
testing against the shooting of Ma
val Lieutenant w. III. Langdon, by
a Japanese sentry at vladivostok.
Publicists expressed the belief that
Washington has not only asked
reparation with guarantees remov-
ing a probability of similar incidents
in the future, but also has again
pointed out to Japan the wisdom Of
reducing, if not Withdrawing alto
gether, her troops from the country
where she possesses no sovereign
rights, but the literal of which is
dominated by her military powers.
The correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press who has just returned
to Toxic from visit to many of the
larger cities of the Far East found
some uneasiness everywhere re-
garding relations between Japan
and the United States. In. we'll in
formed circles these misgivings ap-
pear TO be based more on what was
described at Japan's resentment 10
any American policy calculated to
curb Japanese expansion in Asia,
than upon the California question.
The latter problem apparently is
not regarded wath the same seriousl
ness as the question Of ,Japan's
vital interest near Nippon. &
