MAN STABBED; LIKELY TO

SoMERVILLE, Oct. ia long

ployes of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road resulted in injuries and prob
ably the death of Diminio Greece,
forty-five years old, of Flagtown, N.
j., located about ten miles from

bend him. Corsi, it is said, will be
taken into custody without much
trouble. He has a wife and four
children living here.
1t is alleged that the grudge star
ted some time ago, when Greece

matter with the employees, found
that the author OF the letters was
Thomas Spino, an eighteen year

direction of Greece.

MUSICALE COMEDY
WORK is PROGRESSING

A musical comedy to be a genuine
hit, must possess two things: first
a good interesting plot. and second
a tuneful musical score. Without
these. a show cannot be a real sue
cess, but in Miss Bob White" the
musical show which the Catholic
Daughters of America are about to
stage at the Majestic theatre. Mon
day and Tuesday, October 20 and "a,
will be found the above require
ments and more
Too much cannot be said of the
musical score, it's song hits being
truly individual. Miss Bob White"
is said to be the most stupendous
and brilliant amateur affair ever
presented in Perth Amboy. This is
the opinion of those who have wit
messed the daily rehearsals which
are being held under the direction
of William II. McGreevey, producer
from the John E. Rogers Company.

AUTHOR Of
KHAN LETTER
No Action by East Brunswick
if the Writer is Not
Found

OLD BRIDGE, Oct. 17-Un1ess
Ethe Board of Education of East
Brunswick township finds the au-
sfhor OF the letter supposedly sent
10 them by the Ku Klux Khan or
~tranization. the contents of which
was published in yesterdays issue
fof The Perth Amboy Evening News.
E5io action will be taken IN the mat
Her. according to Henry Warnsdor-
fer. for twenty-three years chair
inan of that body in a statement
made to a reporter of this paper
this morning.
Although the contents of the let
ter was denied the next day by the
GKu Klux Khan on their othcia sta
fionery, Mr.. Warnsdorfer believes
that the letter was sent through
the instigation of one of the mem
bers. or by a mar closely identified
with the recent controversies
brought about by the residents OF
&Patrick's Corner.
The difficulties arose over the
erection of a school in that partlcu-
flar locality. While some taxpayers
favored the building of two schools,
consisting of two rooms each, n
majority members believed tina one
school In. a centrally located site
would be sufficient to meet n de-
mands of the school problem or
Patrick's Corner.
at would cost half the money"
e.;d Mr. Warnsdorfer over the
telephone this morning. why erect
two buildings when we can save a
great deal of money by putting up
one four-room school. The board
has no money to throw away" IN
sisted Mr.. WarnsdOrfer.
NEARLY every meeting of the
board turns to be a stormy session,
said Mr.. Warnsdorfer. IF the menu
bers would refrain from taking the
wrong attitude and put in a friendly
spirit we could accomplish a great
deal" he said. Il have spent TWEEN
sty-three years time. money and en-
ergy in helping the townships
school problems, but they do not
seem to appreciate it," a Mr..
Warnsdorfer.
The clash that came at the las
meeting was the result of a meeting
held in Patrick's Corner at which
William Emerson, one of HI board
members, spoke. He favored the
demands made by certain residents,
favored the building of two schools
pm which the other members did
not agree.
When questioned about the Madi-
son Township problem Mr.. Warns
thought that the hostilities
among the other board existing for
the past four years was the chief
for not having met their
needs. Legal litigations are
still before the state board, he re-
marked. The East Brunswick board
would have been glad to come for
ward and transform the town hall
a school that would meet the
requirements. He also believed that
at the next meeting of the East
Brunswick board on Saturday, De-
tober %, the Madison Township
body will have another opportunity
to come. and that his board is fav-
orabIy inclined to render any assist
ance that they possibly can in order
to avoid the South Old Bridge school
troubles that are being voiced
throughout the county.
