Next Development in SenSa-
tionaI Booze Ship Case is
Awaited Here

This city is alive with rumors to-
day as to who are the men higher
up in the Harbinger booze snug
Cling case. Everyone seems to have
decided on someone who they are
sure will be the next to be drawn
into the net that has been spread
by the federal prohibition depart
ment and the customs officials.
However, no one knows but that
those Immediately connected with
the case will be the next taken into
custody. Reports have it that 9TH
ers who were indicted by sthe fed
eral grand Jury besides. the crew
of the Harbinger. when the jury
sat in Trenton on Wednesday are
Perth Amboy people, but this report
has no tbeen confirmed as yet. From
what can be learned officially at
this time. 1t is likely that all infor-
nation will be withheld until the
actual arrests in the case are made.
The Evening News today was in
telephone communication with for
mer United States Marshal Albert
Bollschweiler's home in Fords and
it was learned that due to illness
Mrs. Bollschweiler did not sail on
the steamer Seydlitz on Wednesday
with her husband, as was first re-
ported According to the informal
ton obtained over the telephone
Mrs. Bollschweiler is still confined
to her home by illness.
Mr.. Bollschweiler's daughter who
answered the telephone said that
the first she knew of the matter was
when it appeared in the paper and
she was of the opinion that il Mr..
Bollschweiler had been home the af-
fair would not have become public.
She said that Mr.. Bollschweiler had
not been in wireless communication
with the family SINCE his departure.
Although there is no way to tell
definitely when further action will
be taken in rounding up those for
whom Mr.. Bollschweiler is said to
have played the part of an office boy,
it is expected that something Will
develop in the near future.

HANE:Y WANTED.
ON TAX BOARD
Say Governors Move to Name
Chas. Hermann Will be
Opposed

NEW BRUNSWICK. March g.
Interest is at fever heat following
the report that the last executive
appointment to be made by Gov
ernor Edwards in MiddleseX county
for the year 1922. will be in direct
opposition tc the wishes of the lead
ers of both parties, by recommend
ing the name of Charles Hermann,
of South River, as member of the
County Board of Taxation.
The only appointment to be made
this year is that of a Republican
member to succeed George Haney
of Perth Amboy, the majority mem
bership being Democrats, whose
terms have not expired.
Several we'll known Republicans
have been mentioned as likely can
didates, though none of them nave
come forward seeking the appoint
ment as the feeling exists, that Mr.,
Haney should be the logical choice
in view of his long experience and
enviable record while a member oil
the board.
Senator Morgan Larson as well
as others prominent in the Repub-
Hcan ranks is. said to be solidly
behind Mr.. Haney's reappointmenl
and it is openly predicted that any
move on the part of the governo'
to fail in sending his name to the
senate for approval would cause the
upper branch of the legislature TO
refuse to confirm any other name
submitted by the chief executive.
The Republican organization OF
the county as well as many OF the
prominent Democrats are heartily IN
favor of the reappointment beng
made.
Mr.. Hermann. who is member
OF the firm of Hermann q Aukam,
manufacturers of South River. IS
practically unknown politically
throughout the county and 1t is
thought that his name has been
suggested to the governor by George
Burton, chairman of the state
Highway Commission.
With the legislative session draw
ing to close there seems to be niue
doubt but that the name of the gov
ernor's choice will be submitted 10
the senate Monday night for APP
proval.

REMOVE TRACKS
At ROOSEVELT.
Tear up Tracks Recently Laid
at Plant of Mexican Oil
Corporation
RESIDENTS PROTESTED
Claim Storage Tanks Should
Not be Allowed in Resi-

RESIDENTS PROTESTED

ROOSEVELT, March 3:-Work
men under the direction of Street
Commissioner Joseph w. Crane are
today tearing up the tracks recently
laid at the plant of the Mexican
Petroleum Corporation as a result
of the corporation and railroad fail
ing to remove cars left on the track
yesterday afternoon. The railroad
company and oil compan.j were
given one hour yesterday afternoon
to remove the cars and although 1t
was promised this would be done,
the cars were not moved, so the
tearing up of the tracks began. 1t
is claimed by Acting Mayor William
J. Lawlor and other borough Off
cials that the cars block the street
crossings.
The tearing Ia OF the rails is the
direct result on the part of the cor
poratiCn to construct a number of
oi; storage tanks on a piece of prop
cry which they purchased sometime
ago. The property is located in the
residential section of the borough
and at the last meeting of the bor-
ough council petition was received
from the property owners protesting
against the erection. of the tanks.
An investigator was at once start
ed by the council with the result that
it has been found that the property
which the cJmrany purchased con-
.ains unopened streets. which titles
are still held by tie borough. Ac-
corJing 20 n mop filed in the county
clerks Office in 1892 tie property was
laid out and the borough given three
different streets, the street rights, it
is alie5ed, havs never been released
by the norplgh and for this reason
it IS claimed, tie oil corporation had
no right to lay tracks across these
streets, without the permission of the
DO ough
Following the laying of the track,
cars We're placed on it and the claim
is that some of these cars are placed
90 that they stand on the places
where the streets are laid out, thus
closing them. When the railroad
company and corporation failed to
remove the cars yesterday as order
ed, Commissioner Crane at once be-
gan to tear up the tracks on the
property on which the cars were not
standing. He promises to tear up
the tracks the other side of the
cars unless the railroad company
removes lnen1 lOudN. his Will mean
that the cars, unless removed. will
be stationed on the property on n
little track of their own, without
any connection with the outside
world.
The engineer of the Mexican cor
poration protested against the re-
moving of the rails, claiming that
he did not see why they could not
be laid. He held that Roosevelt is
only manufacturing town. the res
idential section consisting of the
homes of those employed in the To-
cal industries lie also said that
the Industrial Association of this
place will take care of those who
signed the petition against the erec-
tion of the tanks.
Although the matter has caused
sensation here and the
police are standing guard at the
scene of the track wrecking, no
trouble has developed as yet. The
cars on the track contain material
to be used in the construction of
the proposed oil tanks.

CARUS0 WAS SUPERMAh;;
THROAT IS EXAMINED

ROME, March (By The Associa-
ted Press) The throat of Enrico,
Caruso, left at the time of his
death to the Naples Museum for
medical examination was reproduced
pictorially by the Rome newspapers
today, which published the opinion
of doctors who describe it as ~thc
most extraordinary development
known for vocalization.
Carusos vocal chords were twice
the normal length of these organs
and his breath power was described
as phenomenal. The cpiglottis was
as thick as that of the deepest base
singers, while its attachment to the
tongue was of such Il nature as to
permit the greatest rapidity of vi
bration thus accounting for the im-
mense range of the tenors voice.
His lung power was so enormous
that he could makes the chords OF
a piano vibrate by merely breathing
upon them.
The doctors described Caruso's
lungs as those of a super-man.

NEED COUNTY
HOSPITAL NOW
Every Effort Being Made by
FreehoIderS to Get Building
Project Under Way
MATTER IS DISCUSSED
Is Patients Seeking Admis-
sion to Bonnie Burn Held
on Waiting List
MATTER is DISCUSSED

NEW BRUNSWICK, March g.
Every effort is being made by the
freeholderS to get the county tu-
berculosis hospital building project
under way as the necessity for such
an institution continues to grow but
until the site near Metuchen has
been inspected and approved by the
State Board of Health the county
authorities are in no position to
proceed with the work.
The need for early action was
freely discussed by the board MEM
bers at their regular monthly meet
ing yesterday when it was discov-
cred that sixteen sufferers of this
county who are desirous of being
admitted to the Bonnie Burn insti-
tuition are being held on the wait
ing list as there is no room there to
accommodate them.
With the exception of one patient
who will be sent to that hospital
following the freeholders action
yesterday. there have been no pa
tients from Middlesex county sent
there for treatment in the last three
weeks.
There is plenty of room for such
patients at the White Haven hospi-
n
holders say that while they are
willing to provide for treatments
there the applicants will not avail
themselves of the opportunity on
account of the long distance from
their homes.
The long trip to White Haven
works a hardship on those going
there as many of them are hardly
in a condition to take such a long
Journey. while the few that do go
are practically isolated from their
homes and families.
One patient will ALSO be sent to
the state Institution at Glen Gard
ner and more would be sent if pos
sible. but only cases that are consid-
cred curable are accepted. while the
majority of those applying for ad-
mission from this county are said to
be in the last stages of the disease.
No date has been set for the in
spection of the county owned site by
the members of the state board,
but the matter will be taken up
again in the hopes of getting early
action.

'ELOPERS HAVE
QUIET WEDDING
That's Reason Why Eta Sim
ger and Philip Schlesinger
Wed in Secret
MOTHER FOR BIG EVENT
Friends Congratulating Local
4 Couple Who Are Now at
Atlantic City
MOTHER FOR BIG EVENT

A difference OF opinion between
mother and daughter as to whether
the latter's wedding, scheduled for
Saturday, March 25, should be a
auiet one or conducted on an elab-
orate scale, was the cause of Miss
Eta Singer, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Isaac Singer, of 120 State
street. eloping with Philip Schles-
niger of 392 Park avenue, yesterday
(; :. .ternoon. The couple went to New
York City yesterday afternoon, were
married, the bride telephoned her
mother of what had Happened, and
Fthen left with her husband for
Atlantic City where they will remain
until Wednesday of next week.
Botn young people are well known
in Perth Am5oy. Mr.. Schlesinger be-
ing employed us a teacher in the
grammar school, while Miss Singer
ha, beer engaged as a stenographer
at different tines. Both are Gradu-
ales OF the local high school, Miss
Sirlger in the 1915 class and her hus-
band in the 1916 class.
Mrs Singer. when questioned this
morning said there was no paren-
tae objection to TIE wedding on
either side but her daughter was not
in favIr of any elaborate ceremony.
Tie couple WAS the guest of honor
at dinner recently held by the
Mopes, M Organization to which the
grcom- belcngs. in the New Packer
House. March IS was decided upon
as the date OF tie wedding, the BRIDE
to-be insisting that it be quiet one.
Her mother. however, tried to pre-
vail upon her 20 make the affair an
elaborate one.
According to Mrs. Singer, she was
discussing the coming wedding with
her daughter last Monday during
which she told her daughter that If
she insisted upon a quiet wedding
she would rather the couple go
somewhere else and get married.
Mrs. Singer said she never thought
her daughter would take this sug-
gestion seriously but circumstances
now would indicate that she decided
to take her mothers suggestion.
Yesterday, Mrs. Singer says. her
diamond studded wedding ring
which was to be used in the cere-
mony. The daughter told her father
that she detired to show it to close
1 friend. She then left the house and
4 did not return.
When her daughter did not return
for dinner last night, Mrs. Singer
says, she began to worry as to her
whereabouts. Shortly before Z
o'clock, however, the mother said,
the telephone rang and her daugh-
ter's voice informed her that "Phil
and / were married this afternoon
here in New York and are leaving
for Atlantic City on our honeymoon.
We will be home next Wednesday"
Mrs. Singer said she was so sur
prised at the Information she could
not think of anything to say to her
daughter. She did not learn where
abouts in New York the ceremony
was performed or who performed 1t
1t was learned this morning that
although the brides parents were
not aware of the intentions of the
couple to elope either the bride or
groom had told some of their close
friends who were present at the GER
