Held in Heavy Bail

cused of sending blackhand letters
to Dominick Cerula, Perth Amboy
grocer, for the. alleged purpose of
extorting money; Matted Nassaro
and Dominick Syella, material wit

MICHIGAMME, Mich. Aug. p

ing what is believed here to be the
start of a great development pro-
gram by Henry Ford, the first ship
ment of iron ore from Mr.. Ford's
mine here has been sent to River
Rouge. near Detroit, for conversion

there dumped on an ore boat for the
Detroit district. At River Rouge the
ore will be put through the Ford
blast furnaces. The only break in
the procession from the Ford owned

biles, is in the railroad and boat lines
necessary to carry the ore. Mr..

SERVICE PLAN
Roosevelt to Get City DeIiv-
ery--W Woodbridge Also
Wants Service

A city delivery mail service will
be established in Roosevelt begin
ming September 1, according to an
announcement of the postoffice de-
partment at Washington. d. c.. to-
day. There will be four carriers and
one substitute. This service has long
been desired by the residents Of
Roosevelt and will give the borough
q mail delivery which it Is thought
will meet all requirements.
1t Is likely that Woodbridge prop
er. will soon be given a similar SER
vice, according to a statement OF
Congressman T. Frank Appleby
when seen recently. An effort has
already been made by Postmaster
Peter Greiner of Woodbridge. to
secure a delivery service and he has
on file with the department now
an application for such delivery SER
vice. Mr. Greiner has already made
q survey Of conditions and 1t Is
likely that favorable action will
soon be taken by the department on
the application.
From Washington also comes the
news that the President has sent to
the senate the nomination of Ada

Post Office Window To Go

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2:-The
familiar post office window where
all sorts and conditions of persons
have received their mail for genera
tons is to be abolished. Uncle Sam
will serve his customers over a coun-
ter and quit showing his post Office
wares through a hole.
THE principal reason for the ar
rival of the counter is the parcel
post" said a spokesman of the de-
partment today. Bulky packages
do not easily go through the narrow
slot at the bottom of the grilled win
dow. Designs for new post Offices
recommended by the committee on
post office buildings call for long
collapsible windows and a counter
for the parcel post section. Scales
sunk in the counter speed up the
weighing of packages"

AMERICAN FROZEN
MEAT TO RELIEVE
TEUTON SITUATION

Berlin.-American frozen meat
promises shortly to release Ger
many's army Of bread winners from
the ring of high prices which has
for some time prevailed among the
retail butcher shops of Berlin. Lo-
cal dealers are being inundated
with offers from packing firms in
the United States, and Hugo
SHINES, the industrial, magnate,
has contracted with the Argentine
government for deliveries on a
large scale. Representatives of
wholesale dealers in Argentina also
are reported to be negotiating big
contracts here.
With shops charging 100 to 120
marks per pound for roasting meat
and proportionately high rates for
other cuts, the German laboring
man or the middleclass worker
finds it too expensive to have meat
In his menu more than twice a
week, at the most, ON his wages Of
four to fve thousand marks month

meat from the United States can be

would come to some so or so marks

.eENESEO MAY
STAGE ) DAY
BALL TOURNEY,
White Sox Clash With Princeton
Sunday; Plan to Mako Change
in the Lineup.
Especial to The Argus.)


Geneseo, July 27.-Plans are be-
ing formulated to conduct a base
ball tournament in Geneseo In the
near future. Atkinson has already
planned such an event for five
days play. This plan is meeting
with some opposition, as it seems
to be the general opinion of fans
that a three-day tournament is
preferable. The Geneseo tourna-
1sept will undoubtedly follow that
at Atkinson. CISCO is assured also
of a similar event, and it will un-
doubtedly be as successful as that
Of last season.
The Geneseo White Sox baseball
team will go to Princeton next Sun
day to cross bats with the strong
semi-pro team Of that city. Prince
ton is supporting its team with
large attendance at each game.
Their record for this season shows
very few losses.
The White Sox will be strength,
ened for next Sundays game by
the acquisition of two or three ad-
ditional players. An extra pitcher.
| infielder and an outfielder will very
likely appear in the lineup. Repre-
sentatives of the Geneseo club are
making an effort to obtain the serv-
ices of a Three-Eye league pitcher.
