nuaI Roll Call Starting To-
morrow, ArmiStice Day

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-Presi-
dent Harding today issued the fol-
lowing proclamation in connection
with the Annual Roll Call of the
American Red Cross which opens
tomorrow, Armistice Day:
To the American People:
The assurance, based on many
years experience, that there will be
prompt and generous response,
makes it always a satisfaction to dl,
rect public attention to the annual
Membership Roll Call of the Amerl-
can Red Cross. This year it will
open on Armistice Day, November

November 80. As President OF the
United States and also President or
the American Red Cross, hereby

Sunday, and invite all the people to
unite with their spiritual leaders IN
such observance of 1t as may pro-
mote a renewed conservation to the
gospel of service based upon divine
injunction and sanctioned by all
good conscience.
By the terms of the congressional
charter which called in into being,
the American Red Cross is charged
with certain clearly defined duties
and obligations. These it has con-
tinued, during the past year to dis
charge faithfully and efficiently.
There are peculiarly urgent reasons
to appeal. this year. in behalf of an
even greater generosity than has
been necessary in some other times,
because of the extraordinary de-
mands upon such services of mercy
and humanity. One of the most
fearful disasters of all history has

day let it be known that no selection

Months and Fine of ST 900
Each
STANK0 GETS | MONTH
And $500 Fine Sentence I'm
posed by Judge Daily in
County Court

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. To-
The Perth Amboy milk plot case
was disposed of in the county court
this morning with the sentencing OF
Abe Bettig and Max Weisman. two
owners of the Perth Amboy' Milk
and Cream Company to two months
in the workhouse and to pay, a
1000 fine each, and John Stanko,
an employe of the company, to one
month in the workhouse and to pay
a $500 fine.
This action of the state which re-
suited from the placing of what was
alleged to be bomb in the wagon
Of Harry LGgweber. Perth AM
boy milkman, has occupied the at
tention of the county for some
time. Peter Weiner, an employe
of the milk company was the first
man to be arrested and he was con-
victed in connection with the case
and turned states evidence for the
trial of the three men sentenced to-
Gay.
Russell E. Watson. representing
Bettig & Weisman, made a plea to
the court to show leniency, claim
ing that the men were guilty of ma
licious mischief rather than con-
spiracy to injure the man or his
property and said the charge should
be changed. The attorney informed
the court that the newspapers made
the crime more grave than it really
was and that instead of a bomb, a
fire cracker figured in the case. He
said that no secrecy featured the
purchase of the powder, the making
or placing of the bomb.
Attorney Watson read petition
signed by John K. Sheehy and 100
others asking the court to extend
leniency in the case of the two men.
The petitioners claimed that the
men are held in high esteem in
Perth Amboy and have a business
and families depending on them.
The court was informed by At
torney Watson that the two men
have between $4,000 and 100000
invested in this business and a long
sentence would mean ruination for
the business.
Harry K. Golenbock, representing
StanlSo, made plea for leniency
in his case, the jury having previ-
ously also recommended leniency
Golenbock pointed out that Stankc
is an employe of Bettig and Weis-
man and that he has a family of six
depending on him. The attorney
Informed the court that he has had
considerable sickness in his family
recently.
Judge DAILY before sentencing the
men declared that it is generally
understood that the Perth Amboy
Milk & Cream Company has con-
spired to corner the retail milk
trade in Perth Amboy and that this
case is a part of the scheme. Lang
weber did not purchase milk from
the New Brunswick avenue concern
and they conspired to put him out
of business. The court admitted
that the word bomb" should no,
have been used and that if the fire.
cracker did explode it would not
have harmed the owner of the
wagon as same was placed in the
rear compartment of the wagon
Judge DAILY disagreed with the sug-
gestion of Attorney Watson that the
charge be made one of malicious
mischief. The sentences were then
imposed.

SILzER LEAVES TODAY
FOR SHORT VACATION

Governor-elect George S. Silzer of
Metuchen, leaves his home today
for a two weeks stay at White Sui
phur Springs, West Virginia, in or
der to obtain much needed rest,
following his successful campaign
for governor. Although Mr.. Silzer
will return to Middlesex county
within two weeks time, it is likely
that he will again visit White Sui
phur Springs from December IA to
16, at which time a conference of
governors and governors-elect is
scheduled to be held.
1t was stated yesterday that Hud-
son county Democrats would visit
Mr.. Silzer's home last night and
congratulate him on his victory.
The Hudson county delegation
failed to arrive however. Mrs. Silzer
denied today that the Middlesex
county Democrats who visited the
newly elected governor on Wednes-
day night had damaged the lawn
or property in any manner, as had
been reported. She expressed re-
gret that such report should have
been given credit.

REMOVAL OF RAILROAD
CROSSINGS STARTS SOON

Unofficial word has been received
in this city that work will be start
ed shortly on the grade crossing
elimination For some time past
surveyors have been at work along
the line and it is said thai the act
ual WORK of eliminating rhe cross
ings will be well under way by the
first of the year. There are some
reports that it will take at least
three years to complete the work.
1t is also understood that the city
is being questioned as to what ac-
tion had been taken towards its
part of the elimination.
From railroad men it is learned
that the road will have four tracks
through this city and that traffic
will use the two tracks now in
service. while the two other tracks
are being laid. After the other
two tracks are completed the traf-
fic will be switched to them. while
the present tracks are lowered. This
report is borne out somewhat by
the fact that during the past few
weeks new rails have been laid on
both the west and east bounc tracks
and the roadbed somewhat i'm
proved.

position as clerk of the police de-
partment of that city under an opin-
ion of the supreme court today. The

role In this scene. She entered a

the grocer vainly beating the air to
drive out the flies. Finally accom-
plished. he took greasy butter

dug into the tub of butter. DO you
blame the woman for suddenly
changing her mind? Out she walked

Indications here today are that
nothing will be done in he Mills
Hall murder mystery until Noye11
Der 10, when Supreme Court Justice
Parker is expected to retusn from
an extended vacations in Ber1nud4

that the investigation viii not be

That there is difference of opin<

tigators and the county authorities
over the value of Mrs. Jane Gibson.s
