MIXED JURY
TELL NOTHING
Refuse to Say How They
Spent Entire Night
in Locked Room

TRENTON, March 14.-Unable to
agree upon verdict Mercer county's
second mixed jury to remain locked
together over night was discharged
this morning in the supreme court.
But while they were not able to unite
on a verdict in the action before
them they evidently were agreed on
a course of silence with regard to
how they had spent the night. None
of the six women and six men would
discuss their all night deliberations.
Three of the women were members
of a mixed jury of last week, whlch
also was unable to agree on YER
dict. Varying accounts of card play
ing and cat-napping by members OF
the jury resulted in widespread pup
licity. None of-the three today would
say anything about their second
night of service.
Five of the jurors discharged were
married women and their husbands
were in court at 10 o'clock when they
reported.
Supreme Court Judge Lloyd was
not present having gone to Camden,
but left instructions for discharge OF
the jurors if they were unable 10
reach a verdict. The case was an
action for damages against the Pub
lie Service Railway Co.
The women members were Mrs.
Addie Emmons, forewoman: Miss
Katherine Ryan, Mrs. Rene Schenck.
Mrs Anna Cunningham, Mrs. Julia
Baird and Mrs. Mae Reading. The
last three women were members OF
last weeks mixed jury.

WAR DEPT. TOLD

AppIeby Alleges Carelessness
in Letter to Dept ASKS
for Action
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
(WashingtOn Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening News)

WASHINGTON. March 14:-Con-
gresham II. Frank Appleby has
written to the War Department call
ing attention to the apparent care
lessness with which explosives are
being handled at the munition plant
at Morgan, in Middlesex county, N.
j.. which has resulted in recent
explosion, and asking the depart
ment if, it intends to continue oper-
alton of the plant indefinitely.
A series of explosions at the Nor
gan plant recently has aroused the
people,, resulting in the Middlesex
county grand jury a few days ago
calling on the county prosecutor to
take steps to prevent further explo-
sions.
About six months ago when Con-
gresham Appleby first asked the
department what it intended to do
with the Morgan plant. it was said
that the department planned to
abandon it as soon as possible, but
that the removal depended upon
congress making the necessary
funds available. The matter has
dragged along since with the de-
partment still using the plant which
during the war turned out great
quantities of war munitions.

Aldermen in Interviews Say
They Are Ready to Act to

REFERRED TO committee

The Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany, through it's attorney, Adrian
Lyon, last night made application to
The Board of Aldermen for a single
track siding to be run down the CEN
ter of Front street from Washington
street to the plant of the Roessler &
Hasslacher Chemical Company at
Commerce and Front street. This
petition was referred to the COM
mittee Of the whole and the city en-
gineer-
The aldermen are requested in
the petition to obtain the proper
consents and permission for the lay
ing Of such track or siding through
the center of Front street, COM
mencing on the property of the
Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company
on the north side of Washington
street and continuing south across
Washington street, across Commerce
street to the property line of the
chemical company.
The committee of the whole also
had referred to it a letter from
Franz Roessler, president of the r..
& III. Chemical Company which
reads as follows:
'In our letter of March we OBJ
certain tracks across Washington
street because it appeared that this
plan was not capable of extension in
such a manner as to afford service
to the other industries along the
waterfront.
1--WE are now advised by officials
of the Lehigh Valley railroad that
our previous opinion was incorrect.
We therefore withdraw our letter of
objection.
"In this same letter we advised
that we had communicated with the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
with the expectation of submitting
a definite plan for taking care of
the industries along the waterfront
and we are now advised that the
railroad has worked out such plan
and today is making the application
to your honorable body for such a
permit.
Yours very truly,
Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical Co.
(Signed) Franz Roessler.
Interviews were obtained with
each alderman last night upon the
matter of laying railroad tracks
along Front street in order that all
of the plants in that vicinity might
be benefited. The general concensus
of opinion seemed to be favorable
to the idea. The personal opinions
of each alderman follow:
Alderman-at-Large Richard l..
Calvin: IT refer you back to my
statement of last week on this mat
ter. 1 want to protect all of the in
dustries of the city and see that they
have the opportunity to expand and
flourish but at the same time I must
consider and look out for the inter-
ests of the city as a whole and the
individuals themselves"
Alderman Albert G. Waters: II
showed my attitude on this question
at last weeks meeting when I pub
licly announced my willingness to
see a track laid along Front street
TO serve the other industries which
are located there"

SOUTH 1ST ST.
MAY Be PAVED
Women at AIdermaniC Meet
ing Urge That Improve
ment be Made

After listening to a delegation of
property owners and residents OF
South First street present various
reasons why that street from Gordon
street to Lewis street should be
paved this year, the aldermen t0swS
up the question of securing suffl-
cient funds to finance this work.
Upon Senator Morgan +. Larson's
suggestion final assessments Will be
levied on the Keene, Grove, Alpine
and Lawrence street improvements,
and the money Forthcoming from
these Jobs will no doubt make 1t
possible to put through the South
First street paving.
There were eight women included
in the South First street delegation
and they informed the aldermen
that failure on the part of the
council to take favorable action on
their request would mean that they
would attend every meeting night
until their demands were granted.
One of the members of the delega-
ton said the South First street paw
ing has been promised for the past
fourteen years. Six years ago, it was
pointed out curbs and sidewalks
were laid, the promise being made
then that the pavement would fol-
low within a year or two.
The promise of Alderman-at large
Calvin that the aldermen will do
their best in the matter did not
satisfy the delegation who claimed
that Harrison Place with only three
houses upon it is to be paved, while
South First street with more than
fifty families must "wallow in the
mud" for another year. South First
street is more in need of it than
Woodruff Place. it was also claimed.
Alderman John +. Sofield, who
represents the first ward, was ap-
pealed to and asked to put it
across" He answered that he would
do all he could but he is in the min
ority on the present board. Mr..
Calvin added that being in the
minority makes no difference around
here" and explained it was a matter
of finances that held up the PROPOSE
ton.
Charles Moore. a resident on the
street for thirteen years, said he had
signed six petitions for pavements
on South First street and was of the
opinion that petitions should hang
over from year to year, thus COM
ing up for action by each succeed
ing council.
After the delegation had left the
aldermen discussed with the city
engineer the possibilities of financing
the pavement job and appearances
at present are that the work will be
done this year.
Another matter of importance
taken up by the aldermen in COM
mittee session last night was that of
starting Immediately upon sewer
system in the northern part of the
city. caring for the streets which
branch off Amboy avenue between
Myrtle street and Inslee street, This
improvement will mean much to
the development of that section of
the city and the laying of sewers
will result in high valuations of all
properties along the proposed i'm
proVement.
City Engineer Morgan +. Larson
showed the proposed sewer systems
on a map and was authorized to
commence the preparation of plans
and specifications to have this work
started at once.

DAYLIGHT SAVING ACTION
BY BOARD OF ALDERMEN

Residents of Perth Amboy will
again have the benefit of an extra
hour of daylight during the spring
and summer. The aldermen last
night passed on first reading an Or
dinanoe fixing the daylight saving
system of time as the standard time
in this city commencing at a. m.
On the last Sunday in April and
continuing until 2 a. m. on the last
Sunday in September.
This will mean that all clocks in
the city will be advanced one hour
at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. April
so, or late Saturday night, April
20. On Saturday night, Sept. %, or
2 a. m. Sunday. Sept. "a, all clocks
will be retarded one hour.
The vote on the measure was
unanimous last night. none of the
aldermen voicing any objections.
The railroad have requested the city
to make known it's decision in the
matter of observing daylight saving
ir order that they might arrange
their schedule accordingly. All of
the cities in the metropolitan dis
trict are adopting this system.

WANT STATE
PAV|NCH HELP
May Change Amboy Avenue
From InsIee Street to
City Line

Following a conference with the
aldermen in the city hall last night
Lee Grover. secretary of the State
Highway Commission, and Harry
Robins, assistant state highway en-
gineer, promised the members of the
council to take up with the attorney
general and the members of the
State Highway Commission the mat
ter of repaving Amboy avenue. The
financing Of the proposition is a. big
problem, the aldermen maintain.
and if the money spent for this
work would act against the city's
debt limit it would mean that the
other street improvements planned
to be sacrificed in order to finance
the Amboy avenue work.
Under the state reimbursement
plan whereby the state would repay
the city in three or four years its
share of the expense the city would
be forced to make the initial ex-
penditure and that money will not
be available if the other street paw
ing jobs are gone ahead with.
The aldermen last night. during
their meeting. received communl-
cation from Frederick +. Richard
son, the county solicitor, requesting
them to inform the freeholders what
action, if any, they contemplate TAX
ing with regard to Amboy avenue.
The county has offered to turn the
street back to the city in order that
the paving might be done with state
aid. The state aid cannot be given,
it was explained last night, unless
the city first takes the street from
the county.
Senator Morgan F. Larson told
the aldermen that the reimburse
ment act, under which the paving
would be done, will become ineffec-
tive after the first of the year and
urged the city to get this work done
this year if there was any possible
way to finance it without sacrificing
all of the other paving work in the
city.
During the discussion on the AM
boy avenue pavement. Senator Lar
son presented plan whereby a new
route could be covered by Amboy
avenue, commencing at Inslee street
and joining the present road near
the Woodbridge line. This new road
would do away with the sharp turn
in the present road and would be a
gradual curve with less of an incline
BY putting this road through the
property of the Barber Asphalt
Company it would be possible to use
for Industrial purposes the property
now owned by that company. lying
between the Barber plant and the
new proposed road. This suggestion
for change in the road met with
approval on all sides.
