Court Stehographer Shot

c. c. Cooper court stenographer,
was shot and perhaps dangerously in
jured in the garage at his home, 365
Hudson avenue, at half past ten
o'clock Monday evening. Mr.. Cooper,
who had been down street, had just
returned and was putting his car
away, when two men suddenly ap-
peared, and one of them without
warning shot at him twice. Mr..
Cooper was placed in the patrol
wagon, which had responded to a call,
and hurried to the City Hospital,
where it was found that one bullet
had entered his chest and passing
through the lower edge of the lung,
had lodged in the muscles of the
back. Unless complications follow it
is expected he will recover. No
theory for the attack is advanced ex-
cept an attempt at robbery.

NEW BRUNSWICK, June %
In addition to the grade crossing
proposition to be presented to the
grand jury at Perth Amboy today, it
is generally understood here that
Prosecutor Stricken will also bring
up the matter of the South River
liquor case which was tried yester-
day. at which time Michael Smith
was sentenced to six months in the
workhouse: fined $500 and charged
with perjury by the prosecutor.
An investigation to determine
whether Smith was intimidated by
prominent citizens of South River
connected with the case and thereby
led to give contrary evidence, is de-
sired by Prosecutor Stricken and
Judge Daily. They will also attempt
to learn whether Smith received pay
ment for his statements on the
stand yesterday, which were directly
contrary to previous testimony given
by him at, the time, of the investiga-
ton shortly after the seizure of the
fifteen barrels of liquor.
From all appearances both Judge
oaly and the prosecutor are deter
mined to allow no miscarriage OF
justice in this case and a searching
investigation Is contemplated.

HOME FOR AGED
APPEAL MADE
Only $1,132.67 SO Far, in
Drive for $4,000 for
Worthy Cause

With the total contributions re-
sulting from the canvass for the
$4,000 fund for the Home for the
Aged being conducted this week
amounting to only $1.132.6T, the
campaign continues to lag and. will
fall TAR short Of the desired goal
unless 4 sudden squirt is taken be-
.ore the end CT the week. Contri-
buttons reported yesterday totalled
but ss17.36, and while the commit
tee is, CT course, grateful to !hose
who have contributed, it is fel; that
thu city is not behlrd the movement
to provide for the worthy inmates
OF t.,e home.
The masons, electricians, plum
bers and carpenters are progressing
rapidly in the work of preparing
the new home in Rector street for
occupancy and it is expected that
the new quarters will be ready by
August i. Money is urgently needed
to pay for this work and also to
meet the difference in the sum real
lied from the sale of the old build
ing and the price paid for the new
home.
Rev. w. Northey Jones, chair
man of the Board of Governors of
the home, in a statement this morn
ing appealed for increased support
from the people of the city. He said
in part:
I'VE feel that this work must go
on and we are absolutely dependent
upon the generosity of the residents
OF Perth Amboy and vicinity for the
necessary money. Our work is car
ried on without discrimination as
to race or creed, anyone over sixty
five being eligible for admission to
the home, and we now have on hand
sufficient number of applications
to fill the new home Immediately.
We have deferred our campaign sew
cations such as the Salvation Army,
the Red Cross. Irish Relief and the
Day Nursery, whose needs seemed
more imperative at the time, but we
have now arrived at the point where
we must have money If this charit-
able work is to continue.
mo cause is more worthy" con-
tinued Mr.. Jones, land no charita-
bls institution is carried on more
economically than the Home for the
Aged. Every penny is made to do
the greatest possible work and we
feel that we have a just claim on
the people of the city for financial
support. 1t is unfortunate that the
firemen's relief fund interferes with
the progress of our campaign. but If
we do not raise the money now it
means another appeal later on"
Contributions reported yesterday
by street canvassers are as follows:

Building May Come in
the Fall

While a new wing on the High
School here is certainty, as the
result of yesterdays meeting of the
Board of School Estimate, the new
building that was asked for on Hall
avenue is a project that will have to
be given further consideration. and
will probably result in a referendum
taken by the community.
The meeting was called by the
mayor yesterday upon the receipt
of the following staten ent from the
Board of Education in which was
enclosed the formal request for both
buildings and reasons why the mat
ter is brought up at this time:
'At regular meeting of the
Board of Education of Perth Am
boy, held June 2, 1921, the follow
ing was offered by Mr.. Main and
adopted:
Whereas, In the Judgment of this
board the school accommodation
now provided in the district of the
city of Perth Amboy is inadequate
and unsuited to the number of pu-
pills attending, or desiring to attend
school; it is therefore deemed i'm
peratively necessary to provide fur
ther school facilities, be it
Resolved, That for the purpose
OF erecting and furnishing school
building on the block bounded by
Hall avenue, Alta Vista place, Ar
mold avenue and Jacques street. it is
necessary to raise the sum OF $780,.
900.
Whereas the present class rooms
provision of the high school is over
taxed and inadequate to accommo-
date the pupils obliged to attend this
school and in view of the fact that
the enrolment in September will be
increased to a number far beyond
the seating capacity Of the present
building, it is the sense of this
board that additional class rooms
are necessary which merits imme-
diate attention, therefore be 1t
Resolved. That for the purpose
of enlarging and furnish in the high
school ON State street it is necessary
to raise the sum of $4,000"
At the meeting yesterday the
members of the Board of School
Estimate saw their way clear to
bring the matter of the high school
addition before the Board of Alder
men, feeling sure that the project,
which will amount to approximately
$4,000, can be financed at this time.
The new addition as proposed will
contain Six rooms.
