STOP WORK REMOVING
KEARNY COTTAGE HERE

At the meeting of the Perth AM
boy Historical Society last night,
President Harold Z. Pickersgill in
formed the members present that he
had been served with a notice
through Judge Charles c. Hommann,
as attorney for J. Lawrence Boggs,
executor of the James l.. Kearny-
estate, that the work of removing
the. Kearny cottage from High street
to Hayes Park must stop because
the building was not yet the property
OF the men who had donated it to
the society for use as a headquar-
ters.
The notice stated that Sol Ruben
stein, Philip Goldsmith and Adolph
Creenbaum had not as yet acquired
title to the property and therefore
could not give it away. 1t is under
stood that the title will not revert
until July l to the new owners un-
less other arrangements for settle
ment are made.
Work of removing the foundations
of the old building has been in pro-
gress for several days past and it is
not known at present just what the
next move in the case will be.
Following the report of the nomi-
mating committee Charles d. Snede-
ker, Monsignor William p. Cantwell.
]. Logan Clevenger. Charles G..
Gunderson and Ferd Garretson were
elected as trustees of the society

TWO BOATS IN SERVICE TO
T0TTENv|LLE ALL DAY

Two boats will be put in service
by the Staten Island Rapid Transit
Railroad on the ferry between this
city and Tottenville on Monday
morning for continuous service
every day throughout the summer.
The ferryboat Tottenville. which is
used as the extra boat during the
week-ends and holidays, will be put
in service until the arrival of the
new boat being built sor1e time in
August. This new service is being
put into effect following the all
night service over the ferry which
was inaugurated last week. The
heavy travel over the ferry during
the day has warranted the placing
of two boats on the route over the
sound in order to give good service
from Tottenville to this city.

CITY IS READY
To TURN CLOCKS
Daylight Saving Will be OBJ
served in City and Most
of County

Tomorrow morning at o'clock.
daylight saving time will go into ef-
feet in this city, New, Newark and
other municsa alities which have
adopted the daylight schedule dur
ing the summer and early fall
months. According 10 official action
all clocks of the city will be set
ahead one hour at o'clock tomor-
row morning. Those who happen
TO be up at that hour are also sup
posed to advance the hands on their
watches and clocks from 2 70
o'clock thus conforming with the
new schedule. Those who do not
plan to remain up until 2 a. m are
instructed to either advance their
clocks one hour before retiring or
else when they arise in the morning.
Perhaps. with few exceptions, the
only clocks in the city that viii con-
tinue 10 show standard time viii be
those in the various railroad sta
tions, as under a ruling of the Inter
state Commerce Commission the
railroads cannot advance their
clocks. but must conform to the
standard time. Therefore, in order
to meet this condition. the railroads
have set back the time OF arrival
and departure of their trains so they
conform with DOlH lue SldhodAu u anu
daylight saving time.
The daylight saving time in this
city will be observed by the
churches, banks, schools. industries.
business houses. private residents
and amusement places. The ferry
and other vehicles carrying passen-
gers from this city to other munich
palities will operate on the new
schedule. 1t is expected there will
be considerable confusion on the
part of passengers using railroad
trains operating between this city
and municipalities which have not
adopted the daylight saving sched-
ule.
Judge c. c. Hommann this morn
ing announced that all court sessions
in the local district court VIII be
held under daylight saving time.
This order will go into effect Mon
/ day and continue throughout the
daylight saving period.

KILL 8 AF TER
FLOOD TRAGEDY
Worst Flood in Illinois is Fol-
lowed by Greatest Shooting
ARRAY in Years

BEARDSTOWN,I ILL.,, April 20 (By
The Associated Press) of the
worst flood in its history into the
greatest shooting affray this vicinity
has ever experienced the city of
Beardsville and the village of Fred
ericks separated by the flooded Illi-
nois river, was Joined at dawn to-
day in an attempt to exact justice
for the killing at Fredericks late last
night of Sheriff Edward Lashbrook
and Deputies Carl Neif and Frank
Utter.
Stories of the shooting at Frede-
ricks and the subsequent arrest OF
twenty-eigh. GreeS sectinn ha ads.
charged with the killing. as they
jumped from a c. b. & Q. train
when it pulled into Beardstown
equalled the widest fiction.
The maintenance of way workers
three weeks ago, were ordered out
of Beardstown, charged with night
ly trouble making at Fredericks,
where they were brought by the rail-
road company to repair tracks.
Sheriff Lashbrook and three depu-
ties approached the workers boxcar
home to arrest some of them and
warned the others to be peaceful.
A volley heard acress the flooded
ped on the station platform. Three
of the four fell Deputy j. NJ. Kell Z
felt the whizz of bullets and jumpe .
to safety behind corner of the sta
ton.
From that point. he says, he saw
the men in a body rushed to the C.
b. & Q. passenger train which pull
cd in from the north, as the shooting
ceased. Some others ran il. the OPP
posite direction.
Across the river Chief of Police
Robert Patterson gathered four of
his policemen about him and waited
for the train scenting trouble. The
workers literally jumped in their
arms. All but four made a wild
scurry to escape. They plunged
waist deep into the water. which for
weeks has made the streets impas-
sable except to boots and boats.
Fired by the death of his chief
and both fellow deputies, Kelly ask
ed Coroner Harvey to postpone the
inquest so that he might bend all
his energy TO getting the uen still at
large. He headed a posse which
killed one man outside Fredericks at
1880 this morning. Others were ar
rested at Browning five miles up the
river.

desires the meeting be postponed
until after May 81 or if it is held be-
fore them it should convene outside

harmonize the differences in the de-

Jerusalem. June 21.-No one who knew the Holy Land in the days of the Turkish regime can fail to note the great changes that have taken place throughou, the country since Nhe close of the war.
 The Turkish army stripped Pales- tine of it's animals to such degree that when the American Red Cross arrived in June of 1918 there were many villages without single ploughing animal and neither sheep nor goats were seen on the hillsides. Today it is not uncommon for an au- tomohiIe to come to a standstill on the principal streets of Jerusalem to allow a flock of hundreds of sheep and goats to pass hy, and out in the country the gray hillsides are covered with thousands of these anima Is. Italy gets a large amount of her glove material from the kids of Pales- tine

COMMITTEE NAMES
 BELL AND ATWATER
Traffic Men Will Act as Advisers
 in Garage Management

At the request of Alderman George H. Wells, the municipal garage com mittee at its meeting last night de layed action on the election of a sec retary and mechanic. Joseph A MCGrail. the present secretary of the police board is the probable selection for the former position, while there Is question as to the reelection of Alderman Beatty as mechanician.
 Last nights meeting named Alder man Wells chairman and elected w. L. Bell and Jesse Atwater as members to act in an advisory capacity MT. Bell is traffic manager at North &- Judds and Mir. Atwater holds sim liar position at the American Hard ware corporation offices.
 The chairman reported many verbal applications for the secretary's job. Councilman VI. r. King wanted Mir. McGrail chosen because of his knowl- edge of the work. gained while the police board was in charge of the gar age.
 Discussing the situation arising over the master mechanic and his work, Alderman Wells expressed himself as willing to give Beatty as much a chance to hold the job as anyone else had of getting it. Councilman H. w. Rice felt much of the fault was with users of city cars, rather than with Beatty. Councilman King reminded that it would take two to create lack of harmony such as is Reported at the garage.
 Chairman Wells was empowered to attempt to arrange transfer of a car from the public works board to the water department. The chairman and Messrs. Atwater and Bell were named a committee tb draft rules and regulations governing the garage. An inspection will be conducted by the committee next Monday evening.
