LEGION DRIVE.
FOR MEMBERS
Nathan GoIdberger is Made
Chairman of Campaign
Post Has Busy Meeting

Several moves were made at the
meeting of the American Legion held
in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium last
night that will start the fall activi-
ties of the post going Immediately,
and one of which at least will. 1t IS
thought, make a radical change in
the life of the organization.
The question of membership
drive which has been pending so
long, was brought up at this time
and was looked upon with almost
unanimous favor. Commander VIII
liam Thompson appointed Nathan
Goldberger as chairman of the drive
and work upon organization Will be-
gin Immediately. 1t is expected that
there will be several teams selected,
each with an efficient leader which
will meet every day during the drive
to make reports. There will be in
formal luncheons arranged besides
methods of competition, which, 1t
is thought, will add impetus to the
movement.
1t was claimed that the three dol
lar membership dues at this time are
very scarce among many OF the eX-
service men and the unemployment
was one of the objections to the drive
but it was pointed out that now,
when the ex-service~ men need assist
ance most, is just the time that they
should have some organization such
as the American Legion behind them.
1t is hoped that one new member FOR
each already in the post will have
been enrolled by the termination OF
| the drive.
Armistice Day will not go unob-
served here as far as the Legion is
EIUnrU her realized
the duty of the ex-service men to
observe this day of the year. at least
and a suitable celebration will be
held. 1t was pointed out that Armis-
| tice Day will be declared national
| holiday this year which will allow
| even a larger field for activities on
| this day. The commander will ap-
point a chairman who with a COM
mittee will begin plans for the cele-
| bration Immediately.
While as yet, the post has no home
of it's own where it can hold its meet
ings, through the generosity of John
Hanson an Office has been put at the
service of the post which temporarily
at least. will be called headquarters.
| Mr.. Hanson's office. room 209 Rari-
tan building, will be open several
nights of the week at which times
legionaires and other ex-service men
can be served. 1t will be arranged
to have member of the post on duty
at all times and the executive work
of the organization will be done here
The question of drive for home
is still pending. Last spring 1t was
decided that the drive be held ir
September and many of the organi-
zations and prominent citizens pledg-
/ ed their support but because of the
continued industrial depression the
move is not yet decided.

Shooting of Miss Hanan and
Suicide of Mrs. laWeS Laid

lapse and Chance for Her
Recovery is Doubtful

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-Miss Mil
dred f. Hanan, daughter of the late
Alfred p. Hanan, shoe manufactur-
er, who was shot yesterday by Mrs.
Grace Lawes, was reported today to
be sinking rapidly. Peritonitis was
said to have set in as a result of one
of the three wounds inflicted.
The motive-or motives back OF
the shooting remained somewhat
clouded in mystery. The theory OF
jealousy because of Borland's atten-
lion to Miss Hanan advanced by the
oolice was repudiated by Borland,
by Miss Hanan and by Mrs. Lawes
sister, Mrs. M. +. Dittmars, In san
Francisco.
They express belief that she had
been temporarily deranged by use
of drugs and liquor.
There will be no special inquiry
by the Kings county authorities
however, as the suicide of MRS
Lawes leaves no legal action posi-
BILE under the facts developed.
Miss Hanan underwent two ploou
transfusions yesterday and faces an
operation for the removal of the bul-
let should she recover from the re,
lapse which came shortly before last
! night.
The concensus of belief among
relatives and friends of both womer
is that the shooting was an lnsan'

YANKEES HAVE
EDGE ON SERIES
Win Today Over Cleveland
Will Practically Win Pen
nant Race for Them

NEW YORK, Sept. 24:-Defeated
in the opening game of the little
worlds series'' the Cleveland Ameri-
cans now face the task of taking
three straight from New York in
order to wrest first place from the
Yankees. Today's battle is an i'm
portant one.
A victory for the Yankees would
mean that even If they lost four OF
their final eight games the Indians
would have to win all their six in
order to finish first. The victory for
the Indians today would bring about
a virtual tie.
Pittsburgh still retained a mathe-
matical possibility of overtaking
New York for leadership in the Ma
tional league although twenty-three
points behind the pacemakers.

Accident at So. Amboy.

SOUTH AMBOY. Sept. z4.--A
touring car with New Jersey license
No: 146491, was pinned between q
telephone pole and u truck belong
ing to tho r. u. Rue Company OF
this city. today, when the. driver of
the car, who gave his name as
James Pooh of Spring Lake, attemp-
ted to pass in front of the truck.
Although no one was injured, the
car was so badly damaged that 1t
was necessary to dismantle it before
it could be removed to a garage.
The truck, driven by Thomas
Saunders, was making the turn TO
the left on Conover street from
Ridgeway avenue, when the car
driven by Pooh, who is said to be a
detective, attempted to pass in front
of it, thus causing the crash. That
woman who was riding in Mr.
Poch's car was not injured, is due
to the fact that she jumped from
the front to the rear seat, just as the
car struck the pole.
Following tho accident, Mr.. Pooh
and the woman continued on their
way to Spring Lake via train.
