from the production Of dairy goods.

sents the amount Of butter fat sold
in North Dakota for several year to
prove that the three summer months

Mr.. Flint continues to point out
that more than sixty per cent OF the
butter fat is produced during the four
summer months in the portion of the

and the lowest prices for butter.
Forty per cent is produced during the
other eight months, when less work IL
demanded on the farm. andswhen the
prices of butter are higher.

ocean was such a big ocean,"
The stowaways will be returned to
New York on the next westward
trip of the liner. The girls mean

assigned to them when the ship left
New York.
When the girls were found by the
sailors, the captain secured their
names, sent wireless messages to
their parents. told the girls they had
nothing to fear and would be sent
home safe. They were treated good
by the third class passengers and
sailors as if regularly booked guests.

MAYOR ACTS IN
FUME NUISANCE
Requests Perth Amboy Chem
icaI Company to Remedy
Obnoxious Odors
GET MANY COMPLAINTS
President RoessIer of Local
Chemical Plant Promises
Immediate Action

As result Of numerous conf
plants received by Mayor Wilson
from local residents about the OBJ
noXious fumes coming from the
plant of the Perth Amboy Chemical
Works, the city's chief executive has
written to the officials of that con-
Germ with a request that conditions
be remedied. Franz Roessler, presi-
dent of the Perth Amboy Chemical
and states that this plant "is making
every effort to operate in such a
manner that its presence will never
be a cause for complaint of any
sort"
According to those complaining
to the mayor, the fumes sometimes
are noticeable during the early eve
ming but in most cases are not al
lowed to escape until on and after
midnight.
The mayors letter to the chemical
works and President Roessler's re-
ply follow:

Perth Amboy Chemical Works,
Perth Amboy. N. J. r.,
''Dear Sirs:
lowing to numerous complaints
throughout our city, from a health
standpoint. regarding the fumes
that emanate from your plant,
| wish to call your attention to the
seriousness of the complaints when
the chief reason given for the great
exodus from our city to surrounding
suburbs is that it is due principally
to the fumes from the Perth Amboy
Chemical Works.
Before taking this matter up
with the Health Board, I would like
to have an answer from you as to
whether these conditions can be
remedied, and how soon.
Very truly yours,
"W. C. WILSON,
Mayor"
Perth Amboy. N. j..
August 3rd, 1922.
Honorable W. c. Wilson,
Mayor of Perth Amboy,
Perth Amboy, N. ].
Dear Slr:-We acknowledge re-
ceipt of your letter of Aug. End in
reply to which we would state that
the Perth Amboy Chemical Works
is making every effort to operate it's
plant in such a manner that it's pres
ence will never be a cause for COM
plant Of any sort. 1t has been the
policy Of this company in the past
to establish and maintain the best
possible conditions within and
around the plant and you may rest
assured that this policy will be con-
tinued, and that whatever portion
of Perth Amboy's air pollution prob
lem may be due to the Perth Amboy
Chemical Works will be corrected as
speedily as possible.
Very truly yours.

ANOTHER HELD
IN PLOT PROBE
Four in County Jail in Alleged
BIackhand Plot Against
Local Man.

Another step forward in solving
the blackhand mystery which mas
beer confronting the county authori-
ties for a week, was made this
morning when Ferd A. David, of the
prosecutors office, placed under ar
res. Joseph De march,, of SO Hazel
street, Glen Cove, l.. L., as MA
terial witness. Detective David this
afternoon stated that, although the
man is held as a material witness,
he is of the belief that he is the
fourth member of the blackhand
group who sent the letters to Domi-
nick Cerullo, the Perth Amboy gro
Ger demanding $4,000 and threat
ening to kill him if he did not pay.
Antonia Silvano, of 447 New
Brunswick avenue, who until few
weeks ago lived in the West and
received letters written Dominick
Zebbo, OF Hopelawn, another one of
the suspected men now under arrest,
was also placed under arrest this
morning as a material witness by
Detective David. Letters in the
wcman's possession, written by Zeb-
bo show the same grammatical er-
rors, similar handwriting and the
same mistakes in spelling, according
to the county detective.
lie Gil, IL was lcdIlltQ ny DC-
tectiv> David, lives at place in
Glen Cove which is within a block
or so of where Zebbo lived before
coming to Hopelawn. The Silvano
woman has claimed to be the wife
of Zebbo since the investigation was
started, Detective David said. Both
the Silvano woman and Mrs. Rose
Baritone. wife of Peter Baritone, one
OF the Perth Amboy men now held
in the blackhand mystery, were
questioned this morning by Detec-
tive David. The former woman ad-
mitted. the detective said, that Zeb-
bo had written all of the letters
which are now in Oavid's possession
while Zebbo was at Glen Cove.
De march,, according to the coun-
ty detective, told conflicting stories
when questioned this morning which
gave David the impression that he
is the fourth man the authorities
have been looking for since the plot
was discovered. De Marchi was ar
rested, bail was placed at $4,000 and
he is being held as a material wit
ness He will be taken to Wood
bridge to give the officers there an
opportunity to identify him as the
member of the gang who escaped.
Bail at s2,500 has also been placed
in the case of Antonia Silvano.
Four men and one woman are
now being hled by the county au-
thorities in this case.

them on their way. The morning
after the explosion she had fed a
group of twenty or twenty-five. and
after they had left she noticed one
young man frail and delicate look
ing, who was still resting on her
porch.
She invited him to come into her
house and rest, but he said he must
go on, and asked her if it were pos
sible to walk to New York. He had
no money and no friends. The night
of the explosion he had reached
Perth Amboy after a perilous jour
ney from Russia, and the relatives
he had hoped to find were unknown.
In the confusion no one could help
him locate them and he had had
no place to sleep. Now he was
on his way back to New York to
begin his search again.
Mrs. Loeser would have offered
him money. but she had only small
change in the house. She could not
ask her neighbors who were as dis
traught as many of the refugees,
not knowing when they themselves
would have to flee. All the money
she had was a five dollar gold piece,
a talisman which had been given
her when she came to this country
as a girl forty-six years ago. She
gave him her precious talisman to
help him Oh his way.
More refugees came, the young
Russian passed on, and Mrs. LoesG
heard nothing more. But two weeks
ago she received call to come to
New York. She went and received
not one gold piece, but ten 50 gold
pieces, sent from the young Russian
she had befriended. With them was
tho message that he was prosperlng
in Alaska, where he had located his
relatives, that he was soon to send
to Russia for his young brothers and
sisters and that the finest sables"
were not too good for the woman
who had aided him.
Helpful and good people should
be-" said Mrs. Loeser, quoting the
poet Boethe as she told her story.
She had never expected to be re-
paid. and to be repaid in so gener-
GUS a manner, by one whose name
is even yet unknown to her.

THE very lightest wine-that Will
keep-that can be produced by ma
tural fermentation has at least nine
per cent alcohol. Would Mr.. Si!Zer
have congress declare beer and light
wine to be Notwithstanding liquars:'
That would be immoral because
manifestly false.
would he have the New Jersey
legislature enact such law? That
would be disloyal, for the supreme
court has already declared Governor
Edwards pet, the $50 per cent beer
law, to be unconstitutional.
There is only one recognized and
lawful method to give the people
beer and light wines, that is to
amend the eighteenth amendment
Does Judge Silzer mean this? If so,
why doesn't he say so, instead of hid
ing behind a camouflage of words
that mean absolutely nothing but an
attempt to bambooZle the public, as
Edwards did before him; to have
them, like children, crying for the
| moon-for the judge knows that
such an amendment is unattain-
able"
