Six symphony concerts and May

CITY BOOSTERS CLUB
Will DISBAND SOON

After an existence of one year, the
Young Mems Business club is to be
disbanded.
Eugene Quigg, president of the club,
said Tuesday that lack of interest on
the part of the city's young men was
mainly responsible for the short life
of the organization.
In addition to this reason, he point
ed out the fact that with the Chamber
of Commerce, a commercial body, in
good running order, the demand for
the Y NJ. B. c. was greatly lessened.
There are at present existing obli-
cations which the Young Mems club
must meet before closing its books.
One of these. Mr. Quigg said, was that
the club owed the public two more
band concerts.
Twelve concerts were arranged fol
at the cost of $1,000 OF this sum
$3.50 was contributed by the city and
the remaining $3.50 was provided by
the club But 10 of these concerts
have been presented.
Although the president said he did
not know when the next meeting OF
the club would be held, he said that
the next session would be the last of
the present organization When all
business has been closed a petition OF
dissolutionment will be filed with the
secretary of state, he said.

WASHINGTON, Sept 6. - Eight
months ago today the ways and means
committee of the house of representa-
tives began consideration of the per-
manent protective tariff bill.
The measure has been passed by the
house, but the senate finance commit
tee has pigeon-holed it for the time
being in favor of the revenue bill.
Republican members of the finance
committee are predicting that, in all
probability, it will be early in 1922 be
fore the president has the tariff bill
before him for approval.
Not for many years has the enact
ment of tariff legislation been sub
jected to the unusual delay that has
marked the pending tariff bill in prac-
tically every stage of its progress
through the present congress.
The attitude of the people of the
sixth congressional district toward the
pending tariff measure has been more
or less Indifferent. During the eight
months the bill has been up for con-
sideration the business interests OF
that district have evidenced very little
interest in it.
Distinct Change
Some manufacturing concerns have
been urging an increase of rates for
the better protection of their particu
lar industry, few farmers have advo-
Gated a general increase in rates for
agricultural products, but the labor or
gani9ations of the district have ig
nored the bill. Such situation is
peculiar. In the past when tariff legis

POLICEMEN BREAK UP
LONG BATTLE ROYAL
OF WHITES, BLACKS
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Sept 6.-Policemen
with riot guns summoned by a radio
message telling of mutiny, today broke
up a fight between negro and white
members of the crew of the shipping
board treighter Chester Kiwanis,
anchored off Staten island.
They found Captain Boothby barri-
caded in his cabin bruised and bitter.
He attributed his injuries to white
members of the crew.
When the police boat John F. Hy-
Ian approached the officers heard
shots and saw negroes and whites in
a battle royal on deck. 1t developed
that II negroes were opposing the
rush of 80 whites toward the barricad
ed captains cabin.
The trouble was quelled in an hour
without the police firing a shot. The
police left the vessel after driving the
whites below decks and waiting till
they had gone asleep. The negroes
remained on deck guarding the cap
tain.
The fight had been almost contiu.

anchor Saturday night and had been
brewing since she left Boulogne Il
days previously. Captain Boothby s

DOCKET IS CROWDED;
NO GRAND JURY FOR
THIS SESSION, BOND

Judge William A. Bond will not call
a grand jury during this term of
court. according to an announcement
made by him Tuesday morning after
returning from a three weeks vaca-
ton.
The crowded condition of the court
docket for the remainder of this month
which will complete the April term OF
court, makes the holding of a grand
jury session virtually impossible, 40
cording to the Judge.
The grand jury will be called into
session soon after the opening of The
October term of court. The investi-
cation of the murder of Leroy Brown,
pool room proprietor. by Lon Leach,
Pennsylvania railroad watchman, will
be one of the first things to be called
to the attention of the jurymen.
Several other matters are to be pre-
sented to the grand jury by the judge
and prosecutor, they said Tuesday.

PARCEL POST RATE
Slash is PROPOSED

BUENES AIRES, Sept. Crates on
parcel post packages between Pan
American countries would be material
ly lowered if recommendation from
the commission of the Pan-American
postal congress should be adopted
The commission suggests a single
payment on parcels by the country of
origin amounting to 20 cents on pack
ages weighing up to ten pounds, and
10 cents on parcels up to 90 pounds.
The measure which is indorsed by
the United States delegates, would. if
adopted, save large amounts now paid
by recipients of parcels here.
