''HARD GUY
IS IN AGAIN
Indications Are That He Will
be Admitted to County
WorkbouSe

Perth Amboy's hard guy is in
again. 1t had been supposed that
after his last experience in trying
to get into the county workhouse
he was absolutely Jail proof" and
free from danger of detention be-
cause Warden Masterson maintained
that he was crazy and too hard
boiled a customer for the county in
stitution, but recent developments
show conditions to be otherwise.
This time the tough egg" is ar
rested under the name of George
Geneski, charged with vagrancy. He
was last known as John Bunoski
and whether he changes his name
with the changing seasons of the
year of whether II was thought polite
10 alter ms name to sooth the
workhouse warden is not known. AT
any rate he was arrested yesterday,
arraigned before Recorder Harold
E. Pickersgill, and sentenced to four
months as the enforced guest OF the
county.
The commitment papers in the
case are curiously worded. Where
the ordinary commitment reads the
keeper of the county workhouse is
required and so on. the wording has
been changed in this one case to
read" the keeper of the county
workhouse is 'prayerfully requested
to receive the body"
In another place. instead OF being
required" the warden is respect
fully petitioned" to accept the pris-
oner. This feature OF the special
commitment doubtless shows, the
humility with which Recorder Pick
ersgill accepted Warden Masterson's
rebuke the last time Bunoski. alias
Geneski and other names, was sent
over the hill to the workhouse. Al
! that time Masterson discharged him
because he was too turbulent a spirit
The warden, however, fervently
swears that his new prisoner is alb
solutely crazy. 1t is rumored this
/ time that if Keneski or Bunoski Is
| too troublesome he will be removed

MOVE PUSHED
Many Names on Petitions Be.
ing Circulated in Wood
bridge Township

Petitions for commission form of
government are now in circulation in
practically every section Of Wood
bridge township. From all indica-
tions they are being freely signed,
both Republicans and Democrats
tavoring the change In. township
government.
The movement appears to be a
citizens one without the backing OF
either party. Among those who
have signed the petition. 1t is SAID.
are township officers, including
three members of the township
committee on both sides OF the po-
litical fence. However, the move
is regarded by some as an attempt
to wrest control of Woodbridge al
fairs from a small clique that has
been in control for some time.
No organization has been formed
IL appears to promote the commis-
sion project. The work of getting
the necessary signers has been go
ing on quietly for the pas. few days
first appearing in Fords and iater
in Sewaren, Port Reading anu
Woodbridge proper. :.
The high tax rate, sentiment IN
Sewaren and Fords and a desire ior
some changes in woodbridge proper
are given as the reasons for the COM
mission move. In the Fords section
especially, the petitions are being
quickly signed. Township section
alism is also playing part In the
movement. e.
At the same time opposition is
expressed on both sides. The ieei-
ing that under the present form o,
government one party can be voteo
out of power in year, still hoius
its popularity for those VINO ike 10
act when they regard Things IN gen
eral are going bad.
The MANY former Perth Amboy-
ans and others who have settled In
the township during the past two
years are saying nothing regaroing
the commission movement, but are
watching developments with great
interest. They feel that they are
growing in strength almost weekly
and that their votes and actions VIII
play an important part in township
affairs when the occasion arises.
None of the so-called leaders OF
the political parties in the township
have had anything to say, so far, re-
earding the commission movement
They are trying to analyze the situa-
tion. il is said, as there is an ele-
ment of doubt as to the origin OF
reason for the movement at TINS
time. 1t does not appear as the
"out" are trying to get in. or move
to settle any political grudges, put
many wise in political circles in the
township are wondering. Many rea-
sons are being advanced concerning
the commission attempt. one appear,
ing to be as good as the next, so all
concerned are playing the waiting
game until something appears on the
surface to enable them TO form an
honest opinion of the matter.

CEREMONY BY CABLE TIES
COUPLE IN LEGAL BONDS
Girl in Paris Is Welded to Man in
Nebraska as Judge Asks
Questions by Cable.

Judge WILDER F. Bryant Of Harting-
ton, Neb., claims to hold the long
distance marrying record. He ofici-
ated the other day at a wedding in
which the principals were separated
by 1000 miles of land and water.
The principals were Lester J. Ma
beus, rural mail carrier of Cedar
county, Neb., and Miss Maria Hahn,
resident Of Paris. The ceremony
was the elimination Of a romance be-
gun in France when Mabeus was a
member Of the expeditionary force.
The two were engaged to be married
when Mabeus returned, but the i'm
migration laws stepped in to bar her
out Of the country unless she came as
the wife Of a citizen of the United
States.
The marriage ceremony was sim
plicity itself. The bride had been
Informed in advance by letter that
the cable would be used. Judge
Bryant took the bridegroom to the tele-
graph station. He asked him If he
would take Miss Hahn to be his law
fully welded wife. Mabeus said he
would. Then the Judge cabled Miss
Hahn asking If she would take Mabeus
to be her lawfully welded husband.
She replied that she would, and when
this was received the court pronounced
them man and wife. A marriage
certificate was at once mailed the
bride at her Paris home.
The Judge says there is no doubt
Of the perfect legality Of the mar
riage, and that when Mrs. Mabeus pre-
sents this certificate to the immigra-
tion officials the minimum cash in hand
clause and other vexatious tangles
Of the law will be waived because
she is the wife Of an American citizen,
The ceremony took place at o'clock
