STORE MANAGER
is GONE AWAY
Huguenot Park A. & P. Man
Said to be Among the
Missing

~TOTTENVILLE, Dec. 6:-Benja-
min Poline, a manager for the At
lantic & Pacific Tea Company at its
branch store at Huguenot Park,
was said to be among the missing
from the store yesterday and a
superintendent of the company over
the island stores appeared at the
Tottenyille police station yesterday
M asked where a warrant could
be secured for the arrest of the
manager whom he said had gone
and funds said to be about $3.50 HAD
gone with him. The superintendent
was referred to the magistrates
court at Stapleton.
= Poline is married and resided in
.nesel street, Rossville. He has
been manager of the Huguenot
Park store for some time. An ef-
fort to, locate Poline yesterday and
last night was without avail. Resi-
dents of that section when asked
with regard to Poline said that 1t
was a good thing that he had disap-
peared because considerable talk
bad been heard concerning him
during the past several weeks.
A Huguenot Park minister came
to the Tottenville police on Satur-
day and reported that Poline hal
been too attentive to another mans
wife and that for the good name OF
that section he wanted it stopped.
Two policemen doing plain clothes
duty were detailed on the Ease and
cautioned Poline to desist from his
attentions. This is thought to have
frightened him and he took his de-
parture. An effort to find out
whether the woman in the case had
left home could not be learned from
residents of the town.

ATTEMPT WAS MADE
TO BREAK In PLACE

TOTTENVILLE, Dec. GA bold
Ertempt was made some time early
this morning or late last night to
force an entrance into the side door
Of the restaurant and confectionery
place at the ferry at the foot OF
Bentley street owned by Peter
Simpson, of Perth Amboy. Those
doing the job were evidently fright
ened away after they had forced the
door at the lock and broken it off.
Al bolt still remained before they
could get inside. Those attempting
to get in got away in haste because
the picket fence on the side of the
building was broken. A patrolman
is stationed at the ferry all night
and it is believed he was watched by
the lookout as he moved about the
depot. Detective Sergeant Schley is
working on the case.

PLAN BUS LINE
At JAMESBURC
Perth Amboy Company
Would Run Line South
River to JameSburg

JAMESBURG, Dec. 6-Visions of
a bus line to run from South River
and Jamesburg was the message
brought before the session of COM
mon council at their meeting on
Monday night by a representative
of the line asking for a franchise.
No action was taken on the applica-
ton other than that a date has been
arranged for a meeting of Mayor
Jacob Wyckoff and the promoters
of the proposed line.
The other matter of importance
was the resignation of Councilman
George d. Hutchinson, who claimed
in a letter to the body that other
business interfered with the proper
attention being given to this office.
After much discussion and persua-
sion on the part of the council the
resignation was accepted
Mayor Jacob Wyckoff presided
with a full membership present:
Messrs. Stonaker, Hausser. Con-
over, J~orgenson, Lokerson, Hutch
inson and Clerk William Brooks.
Leon Rymsha, of Perth Amboy,
representing the White Motor Com
pany of that city, appeared before
the council and attempted to out
line the ideas of his company who
sought a franchise to operate a bus
line from South River to James
burg. In order to make the. line
successful Mr.. Rymsha suggested
that an ordinance be passed prohib-
iting all n of autos from car
rying passengers for hire between
Jamesburg and Helmetta between
certain hours that would insure the
success of the new line. This sug-
gestion did not meet with the ap-
proval of the council or the citizens
present and after talking the matter
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-12-06

over the suggestion was made that
another conference be held. Spots
wood and Old Bridge have already
joined with the new company in be-
ing in favor of the proposed line. L
is proposed to extend the line TO
Freehold If successful.
A bill was received from the State
of New Jersey covering an audit Of
the borough accounts of 1919 that
created some criticism Of the Car
rol Audit Company of Perth Amboy,
who failed TO fulfill their contract
according to the local council.
A resolution was offered to allow
the mayor and clerk power to trans-
fer from the collectors account
s10,S76.32, payments due the pres
emit month. At this time of the
s45,0 900 due the borough in taxes,
$4,000 has been paid in a good
showing.

KEYPORT, Dec. Con Tuesday
morning at 2 o'clock a midnight
prowler tried the real door on Paul
G.. Zimmermann's residence in Os-

curely locked from the inside by
means of several hooks he was not
successful in gaining an entrance to
the rear vestibule.
AT about that hour an automobile

stop near that residence. Mrs
Zimmerman was awake at the

not hear anyone enter OF leave 1t.

there was a feeling that Foley might

1t is understood that the selec-

The Salvation Army drive for $250O with which to open and maintain 8 home service headquarters in Bisbee will close Saturday with a tag sale throughout the district.
 COmmandant A. O. Winter, in charge of the pre-organiZation work here for the Salvation Army, said last night that, although funds are coming in slowly, he was far from discour- aged.
 ''I cannot feel that We will fail" he said. We in the Salvation Army nev- CT consider being discouraged, for to be discouraged is to listen to the voice of the Devil, and that is one gentleman who does not want, and will never re- ceive, the helping hand of the Salva- tion Army. We are never discour- aged. There are some 17,00 persons in the Warren District and we are con fident we will be successful in raising the S2500 we need"
 Contributions may be mailed at any time to the Salvation Army, Box 125, Bisbee and a receipt will be sent at once to the contributors.
