A. G.. Vanderbilt Estate
Loses $50, 600 Suit
Appeal Court Susiains Decision
Heirs Cannot Recover on
Accident Policy

Tie Appellate Division yesterday sus-
tanned the decision Of Justice McAvoy,
OF the Supreme Court, that the estate
of Alfred G. Vanderbilt, who lost his
life when the steamship Lusitania was
sunk by a German submarine, cannot
recover on Sl5OQ00 accident policy
which MIR. Vanderbilt had in the TraV-
elers' Insurance Company.
Executors Of the Vanderbilt estate
sued the insurance company upon the
policy carried by MIR. Vanderbilt, after
payment had been demanded and re
fused. The Travellers company. in de-
fonse, quoted from the policy the fol
lowing clause. NOR shall this insurance
cover accident, injury, death. loss of
limb or sight, or disability resulting
directly or indirectly, wholly or partly.
from war or riot" In the 'ower
court Justice McAvoy dismissed the
complaint. wheroupon the Vanderbilt
executors appealed.
Counsel for the estate. in his argu-
ment said that the destruction Of the
Lusitania, a British passenger ship,
without warning, raised the question
whether it was an act OF war or a
criminal trespass. He also brought, up
the point that at the time of the sink
ing the United States was not at war.
The Appellate Division wrote no
opinion, merely affirming the decision
Of Justice MCAVoY.

ALLEGED bUNCO
MAN IS HELD
Return of Money May be Move
to Get Leniency in
Court

Peter Roaro. the New York man
arrested by Officers Michael Patten
and Emil Koyen late Thursday af-
ternoon in connection with the al
legged swindling game that robbed
Michael Zwiercan. of 1853 State
street, of $2,150, is still detained at
the police station. His expressed In
tention now is to cause the return
of the money in the hope of leniency
at the hands Of the court.
Roaro was accompanied by two
other men while the Spanish
switch confidence game was being
worked on the victim but the two
confederates succeeded in making
good their escape while Roaro was
arrested at the ferry when Mrs.
Zwiercan informed the police OF the
suspected swindle. Captain Law
renee A. Long of the detective de-
partment of the police force spent
YESTERDAY in New York on the case
and reports that Roaro has no pre-
vious record in such cases, so that II
he has worked his game before he
has covered his tracks well.
A man reported to have been rep
resenting the two confederates who
made their escapes, appeared at po-
lice headquarters last night to nego-
tiate with the police with reference
to the return of the $4,000. This
man informed the authorities that
he thought he could get the money
from the other men and promised to
return to this city last night If he
were successful. So far. however. he
has failed to arrive, and the pris-
oner was occupied with the tele-
phone this morning in an effort to
locate his friend.

lows Meeting of 40 "Anti-
Commission" Residents

WOODBRIDGE, April ia citi-
zen's committee opposed to the in
stallation of commission government
in Woodbridge township, has been
organized and plans have been laid
for a tremendous campaign to coun-
teract the move now under way to
change the present form of govern
ment.
A meeting was held in Woodbridge
Thursday night, which was attended
by forty residents from all parts of
the township who are opposed to the
commission government idea.
An election of officers was held
and various working committees
Fords. was elected president
of the committee. John Nc
Auslan, of Woodbridge, was made
vice president; Barron McNulty, OF
Woodbridge, secretary, and Frank Z.
Barth, of Avenel, treasurer. A pub
licity committee was named consist
ing of Edgar Kreutzberg, Maxwell
Logan, Frederick H. Turner and
Harry r. Wilson, all of Woodbridge.
An executive committee consist
ing of the officers. members of the
publicity committee and the follow
ing, was named: l.. A. Pinkham,

The citizens committee opposing
commission government will carry
on strenuous educational campaign
throughout the township in an ef-
fort to prove that the proposed form
OF government is more expensive
than the present township commit
tee and is altogether unsatisfactory.
The members of the opposition claim
that such change will be at a dis
advantage to the residents and claim
that in places where it has been
inaugurated 1t has failed to accom-
plish its purposes.
Another meeting of this commit
tee will be called by the chairman
in the near future. In the mean
time petitions favoring commission
government are being circulated in
the township by those favoring a
change in government.

HOME SERVICE
DRIVE MONDAY
Salvation Army Workers Are
Lined Up for Campaign
in This City
Arranpenenfs

Arrangements are practically
complete for the opening of the Sal
vation Army home service campaign
in Perth Amboy next week. Mrs.
Emil Str emlau. wife of general
chairman of the campaign, has been
organizing a women's division.
which will. take a leading part in
the work.
This division will be composed of
fifteen women from the Eiks Ladies
Auxiliary and twenty from the
Auxiliary of the Raritan Yacht Club
all to start work on Monday morn
ing. Mrs. Stremlau will also or
ganize n girls club for the tag day
activities, en- Saturday, April %.
Mrs. Jay B. Franke.( who achiev-
ed such excellent results in last
years Salvation Army appeal, has
volunteered her services for this
year and will have a corps OF about
twenty-five young women to solicit
contributions in the theatres after
moons and evenings. She VIII place
young wome nsolicitors in the banks
during the latter part of the drive.
Contributions will also be solicited
by young women from passengers on
the ferryboats between Perth Am
boy and Tottenville.
During the last week special COM
mittees from the executive and ad-
visory committees have been work
ing on advance gifts from some OF
the weather. business men. Re
ports OF their efforts so far are dis
tinctly encouraging.
The quota for Perth Amboy is
$500. In the view of the cam
paign leaders. this is a compara-
lively small amount for a commun-
ity like this to raise for so worthy
a cause. Practically all the money
raised in any municipality where one
of the Army corps is located is spent
in that community. Contrary to a
rumor which floats around perlodi-
cally, not a penny of the funds con-
tributed in the salvation Army home
service appeal is sent out OF the
country.
All local budgets are made up on
a basis of actual needs and every
wear itemized accounts are made 10
the public as to the manner in which
the money contributed by the public
is spent. Every SO often, all books
and accounts receive a careful au-
diting.
