STATE HEADS PRAISE
LOCAL FARMERS MARKET

Perth Amboys farmers market
was highly commented upon today
by Alexis L. Clark, chief of the Bu-
reau of Markets, of the Department
of Agriculture. who was memb Der
of the inspection party from the de-
partment of agriculture which visit
ed the various markets of the state
today.
Chief Clark and others in the
party were not very enthusiastic over
the fact that the city allows huck-
sters market in connection with the
farmers market, even though the
two markets are separated by New
Brunswick avenue. The city repre-
sentatives pointed out, however, that
by doing this they maintained the
market all the year round. The in
spection party was surprised to learn
that 200 farmers and forty hucksters
sell produce in the market.
The inspection party consisted of
Alexis l.. Clark, chief of the bureau
of markets; Secretary Barridale of
the State Chamber of Commerce;
Mrs. John l.. Douglass of Orange, an
official of the New Jersey League of
Woman Voters; Mrs. M. Gross, Mrs.
Lillian Barclay. also members of the
League of Woman Voters: Mr.. Scholl
of Burlington, Mrs. Sherbourne, re-
porter of the bureau of markets, and
Kenneth Hankinson, organization
specialist of the bureau of markets.
The party was met at the Central
station and escorted through the
market by Aldermen Christian An
dersen, Benjamin A. Rfedy, Thomas
Patten, Secretary John F. Bergen
and Fred BRIGGS, vice president of
the Chamber of Commerce.

SEWER SYSTEM
IS OUTLINED
City Engineer Larson Ex-
plains Work to be Done in
North Section of City

City Engineer Morgan f. Larson
last night outlined to the Board of
Aldermen plan whereby a sewer
system for the northern part of the
city might be installed early next
year, thus affording relief to this
section from which continual COM
plants have been received for years
owing to the lack of proper drainage
and sewage pipe. After hearing the
engineer outline his plan and con-
sulting the city map in order to COM
prehend just how the plan would
benefit that section of the city the
aldermen passed a motion authoriZ-
ing the engineer to go ahead with
these plans.
The section which will be benefit
ted by the new sewer system will be
that lying east of Amboy avenue,
north of Bruck street and south of
Inslee street. The engineer also
pointed out how a sewer could be
run up Eagle avenue, across the city
park property to Myrtle street,
thence to Amboy avenue, ,remedying
existing conditions of stagnant water
found about Eagle avenue and Myr-
tie street. Another sewer unit, ex-
tending along Krochmally avenue
taking in the streets west of the
cemetery, is included in the engi-
neer's plans.
State Law Cited
Mr. Larson told the aldermen that
the city cannot build a combined
sewer in which both surface water
and house sewage might be carried
off. it being prohibited by state law.
He said that it would cost less,
however, to lay two separate sewers,
one for the surface water and the
other to take care Of the houses,
than it would to lay a combined
sewer pipe. The various pipes
would join a large main going across
Garretson avenue ,emptying into a
septic tank from which the solids
will be removed, after which the
water will pass off into Crane creek.
The use of the septic tank in remov-
ing the solids from the water will
make it unnecessary to continue the
sewer pipe to Staten Island sound.
When asked for an estimate of
the cost of putting the system into
effect Mr.. Larson said he thought
the initial cost would be between
$4,000 and 100000. He did not
explain exactly what streets sthis
would cover. but it was
generally understood to include the
section between Bruck street and
Inslee street.

CAVE
MONEY TO WIFE
No Question if Money Was
Raised in Gambling, Re-
Corder Rules
IN THE FRANKIE CASE
Recorder Throws Case Out,
After Lecturing Wife of
Returned War Hero
IN THE FRANKIE CASE

The fact that a wife may think
her husband secured his money
gambling is no excuse for her re-
fusing to accept it from him when
he offers 1t to her and the family is
in dire need. of it, according to the
opinion of Recorder Harold Z. Pick
ersgill, who this morning heard the
charges made by Mrs. Catherine
FRANKIE, of 452 Hall avenue, against
her husband, John FRANKIE. Mrs.
FRANKIE charged her husband with
deserting her and her two children
and failing to support her and the
children properly. The charge was
thrown out by the recorder after the
evidence in the case had been heard,
Recorder Pickersgill reprimanding
the wife for the manner in which
she had treated her husband, who is
an overseas veteran who was gassed
and wounded while in action and as
a result incapable of doing any heavy
manual labor.
The wife claimed FRANKIE had re-
fused 90 support her and the children
and had not given her enough to pay
the grocery. gas and furniture bills
and had left her last night. She was
represented by Leo Goldberger. The
Wilentz.
Gave Her $1,000
The defense brought out the fact
that FRANKIE had given his wife $40
since the carnival came to Perth Am
boy. he having earned the money at
that place. She admitted having ac-
cepted the money. FRANKIE also man.
tanned that he had offered his wife
$40 which he had earned on a recent
coat excursion but his wife had re-
fused to accept. In answer to the
query OF why she did not take the
money from her husband when she
was in such great need for it, Mrs.
FRANKIE replied that it was because
she thought her husband had made
it gambling. Mr.. Wilentz offered to
submit proof that the money was
honestly earned but this was not re-
quired.
Recorder Pickersgill upon learning
of the woman's refusal to accept the
$40 ruled that her suspecting her
husband of gambling was no excuse
for her refusing the money when he
offered It to her. lHe spoke of
Franke's war record. pointed out his
inability to do hard work but his
WILLINGNESS to do lighter tasks and
discharged the defendant. 1t was
brought out during the testimony
that FRANKIE had been to Counselor
Wilentz recently in order to do the
work of washing his car so as to
make a little money.
Hear Another Case
The case brought by Mrs. Mary
O'Brien, of 439 Hall avenue, against
her husband. William O'Brien, also
alleging non-support, was not push
ed. since after hearing the previous
case Mrs. O'Brien relented and
agreed to give her husband another
chance to support her.
1t was brought out that the two
cases were very similar in nature.
O'Brien has been out of work for
some months and has employed
every effort to obtain work without
success. Mrs. O'Brien admitted that
her husband gave her money when
he earned it by doing odd jobs.
Recorder Pickersgill dismissed the
case after advising the principals to
kiss and make up"

Local Women On Jury
List Not Enthusiastic
Over Call To This Duty

Mrs. Adolph Greenbaum and Mrs.
Nellie C. Buckley, of this city, who
have been drawn on the petit jury
during the September term, are not
very enthusiastic over their selc-
tions for this duty. Both Mrs.
Greenbaum and Mrs. Buckley de-
clare that, although they will serve,
they do not think that jury duty is
a woman's job. Miss Lillian Gillis,
the third woman of this city named
for duty during the term has moved
to Brooklyn and cannot be called
upon to serve.
Mrs. Greenbaum, who resides. at
1T High street, when seen today
said:
II do not think jury service is a
woman's job" Mrs. Greenbaum de-
clared. Men know more about such
matters than women and are better
qualified to serve. In my opinion
those women who were SO anxious to
have the privilege of the ballot
should consistently assume a share
of the burden of government. Per-
sonally. l was not very desirous of
the voting privilege. but now that l
have it l am willing to do what can
since there seems to be no escape.
We women have no other course
than to be good fellows about it, now
that we have our long sought right to
vote.

Water from the San Antonio river,
which winds through the city and
from it's tributary, the Dimes creek,
flooded the business section for

twenty-four hours. Street car. serv-
ice is cut off indefinitely.

river are strewn with wreckage from
houses. Throughout the night the
east and west sides receded sufficient

lice, said he believed the loss of life
to be very high. He could give nc
