To URGE JOBS
FOR JERSEYMEN
N. ]. congressman and Sena-
tors to Meet May 3 to Act
on State Patronage.
BY George ii. Manning.

Especial to the Evening News.)
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The
New Jersey congressman will meet
with Senators Frelinghuysen and
Edge here Tuesday night, May 8. for
the discussion of state patronage.
The meeting is the result of the
outcropping of disappointment ON
the part of the representatives ove
the reluctance of Senators Edge
and Frelinghuysen to consult
the congressman in any way
about the big appointments in the
state and the failure of the New
Jersey senators to obtain n big
places in Washington for Jersey
men, a member of the House from
Jersey stated today.
After seeing members of the cab
met, members of the various COM
missions and heads Of different bu-
reau appointed from other states.
the New Jersey representatives are
commencing to wonder why it is
that the Jersey senators who appar-
emily are on splendid personal terms
with President Harding do not get
any of the big jobs for men from the
state, this member said.
The representatives want to know
what the attitude of Senators Edge
and Frelinghuysen is going to be re-
garding the recommendations or en-
dorsements they wish to make, and
also wish to know what jobs outside
the state, If any New Jersey is going
to get.
Although admitting that the New
Jersey senator's are entitled to ap-
point the collectors, marshals and
district attorneys for the state, the
members feel that they should at
least be consulted sc that they can
work up the candidacy of men they
may have in their districts who are
after the jobs. One member of the
delegation recalled today that Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen had appointed
Fred Ferguson, of East Orange, as
internal revenue collector for the
northern district without consulting
the wishes of any of the congress-
men. Senator Edge did consult the
members about the appointment of
Sturgess to be collector in the south
ern district although he named a
man that he personally wished and
went contrary to the desires of the
representatives.
Joseph Tumulty appointed over a
hundred men to one sort of job and
another of fairly desirable calibre.

SUNDAY BALL
IS DISCUSSED
Keyport Pastor Protests to
Council, But Mayor Mason
Defends the National Game
by Evening News Correspondent

kEYPORT, April 27-Sunday
baseball was the principal topic at
the regular meeting of the mayor
and council Monday night. Mayor
Mason announced that he had re-
ceived a letter from the Rev. A. C.
Brady, pastor of the Calvary NJ. e.
church, in which the latter stated
that he wished .he playing of ball
sunday be stopped in the borough,
as 1t was against the law and that
he also wanted gambling upon the
streets stopped.
The mayor stated that as Mr..
Brady was a citizen of the borough
he had a perfect right as such to
go hefore the grand jury with his
evidence. He stated that as long as
the games were conducted in an
orderly manner and there was no
betting or using of improper Ian
guage he would not interfere. He
further stated that it would not be
fair to deprive the young men and
others who cannot afford more ex-
pensive Injuries of an opportunity
for pleasure and allow the more
wealthy to ride through the bor-
ough in their automobiles.
He stated that he did not know
what Mr.. Brady meant by gambling
upon the streets unless it was in
regard to one of the fire companies
CHANGING off a surplus stock of
candy which they had after one of
their fairs closed.
The lay also stated that he
had been receiving letters signed
by fictitious names complaining
about certain nuisances in and
about the borough. He put him
self upon record that little atten-

munications unless the people had
the nerve to sign their correct
names.
Captain Frank Stoney on behelf
of the residents of Maple Place ad-
dressed the council and asked that
attention be given to the great traf-
fc on that street. He stated that
when the work commenced on
Front street the traffic there would
be diverted to Maple Place and it
would become unbearable to live
on the latter street If 1t were not
sprinkled or oiled.
He stated that the residents there
asked one of three things. First,
that the street be oiled. Second,
that the borough keep the same
sprinkled. Third, the borough fur
nish the water and allow the citi-
zens to sprinkle it themselves. He
was accompanied by several other
residents living on the street. Mayor
Mason referred the matter to the
street committee and the borough
attorney directed the latter to ap-
pear before the Board of Freehold
ers at their next meeting and try
and get relief from them.
The Hook &c Ladder Company pre-
scented a letter through it's commit
tee in which it guaranteed to pay all
the cost of advertising for bids for
the motorization of its present appar-
atu and also the cost of sending
The same to the factory. 1t also
agreed to pay the entice interest
charges upon the issue of certificates
o. indebtedness necessary to pay for
such motorization. Mayor Mason
stated that he would lay the matter
over another two weeks and If the
company would guarantee to pledge
rhe amount received by them from
TIE borough as security ne would
let the matter take its course at the
next meeting.

Shows Daylight lime at
Last and All is Serena

MATAWAN, April 27.-Matawan's
town clock is running again and on
the daylight saving time too, but this
is how 1t came about. When 1t was
learned that the clock was set an
hour behind standard time and two
hours behind daylight saving time
instead of being pushed an hour
ahead it created considerable sensa-
ton. The question then arose as to
how to set the clock according to
daylight saving time. Whoever set
the time piece in the first place,
probably decided that it would be
better not t o monkey with the ma
chinery again and instead of set
ting the clock two hours ahead to
the daylight saving schedule. hit
upon another idea.
This idea was to stop the clock
at a certain point and when the
