the Rotary Club here yesterday at

suggested that all Rotarians in
business should follow the Golden

troduced the speaker, called atten-

IN COURT SUIT
Comes As Result of Booze
Raid Made Two Years
Ago

NEWARK, Nov. 23.-Trial of the
$4,000 damage suit filed against
Albert Bollschweiler, former U. S.
marshal. will start before Judge
Lynch and a jury on Tuesday. This
date was fixed today. Bollschweile>
lives at Fords and has a cigar store
in Perth Amboy. This is a SUIT
filed by Cecil Stichwek of Boonton.
At this trial Former U. S. District
Attorney F. M. Pearse of Metuchen
will represent the defendant,
In February of 1920. according
to the bill of complaint, a raid was
made by federal officers on the resi-
dence of Stichwek and ninety-seven
cases of Grand-dad whiskey which.
according to the plaintiff, was given
to him by his father in January of
the same year before the enactment
of prohibition was taken. In May,
1920, petition was filed in the fed
eral court for the return of the Ii
quor and in June the court issued an
order directing the marshal to re-
turn the liquor to Stichwek.
Bollschweiler, it is said, was I'M
able to return same, 1nasmuch as II
was claimed that it had been stolen
from a brick building in Perth Am
boy where it had been stored. Stich-
week is asking $4,000 damages, al
leging that the former marshal fail
ed to carry out the court order and
was ~neglectful and careless in al
lowing the property to become lost.
This is a civil matter entirely and
the National Surety Company which
went Bollschweiler's bond when he
became marshal, is named as CO.
defendant in the case.

STATION HOUSE
IS CROWDED
Police Again Claim Need For
Larger Headquarters
Large Attendance

What the police claim shows the
necessity of having a larger police
station in this city with an appropri-
der's cases was shown again last
night when the entire first floor Sec
ton Of the present headquarters
was packed to fcapacity for a spe-
cial session in the recorders court
The attendance was so large al
last nights session that IL was al
most impossible for the squad OF
patrolmen going on duty at Z o'clock
to get through the crowd. The chief
in the past has notified the officer
on duty at headquarters to rid the
court room as much as possible of
persons who are not interested IN
cases, when a big crowd is expected
and after this is done to close the
door of the court room.
Last night there was no way of
reducing the crowd as everyone
present was interested in one case
or another. Twenty-siX defendants
and their parents were interested in
one case and close to one dozen de-
PENDANTS and their parents were in
>tereSted in another.
So close are conditions in the
court room on an occasion of this
kind, that the electric fan has to be
turned on, although wintry weather
is present on the outside. In the
summer conditions are almost I'M
bearable in the court room when a
big list is scheduled, the police say.

CARTERET. Nov. 23-The great
est obstacle in the way of the Mex
lean Petroleum Oil Company obtain
ing land in this borough on which to
erect tanks, has been removed to-
day, by the sale of the property of
Mrs. Emma Bounce, in Edgecombe
avenue, to the oil company. The
deal was consummated today
through the Office of Emil Strem-
lau, representing Mrs. Emma
Bounce, and Prosecutor Joseph E.
Stricken, representing the oil COM
pany. AS a result of the sale of this
property, the oil company will pre-
sent an additional petition to the
Council at the adjourned meeting
tonight, requesting the borough to
vacate the Edgecombe avenue
property, which leads directly to the
oil, company property.
1t was Mrs. Bounce who made the
principal protest to the Council
against the erection of the oil tanks
by the company, as she commended
that the tanks not only endangered
her life but also her property. The
fact that Mrs. Bounce has sold her
property to the oil company comes
as a general surprise IN the borough.
The meeting of the Council tonight
is expected to be n of the most
interesting in the history of the bor-
ough, and a large number of citi-
gems are expected to be present at
the public hearing. which will take
place before the final decision is

H0YT METAL CO.. PLANT
DAMAGED BY FIRE
(Continned from page u

AS soon as the engines started
pun ping the firemen were able to use
the streams with good results. and
after an hours fight had the flames
under control, although it was o n
siderable later when the last ember
had been extinguished.
The cause of the fire is not known
but it is believed some hot molten
metal scattering against the wood
work, set it on fire during the late
afternoon, but that it did not break
into flame until famed by the strong
wind of last night. When the fire was
discovered it had travelled across
practically the whole interior roof
of the building. The damage is es-
timated at between $500 and S4,-
600 by Chief Andrew Anderson of
the fire department.
Officers James Nolan. John Riedy
and John Roger and Sergeant George
kozusko were at the blaze, Nolan
making the report at headquarters.
Several men suffered from smoke
and sustained cuts from flying glass
making first aid treatment necessary,

BISHOP WALSH COMING
To CLOSE REALTY deal

Right Rev. Thomas j. Walsh,
bishop of the Trenton diocese. will
be in this city within the next few
days to close a transaction for a
new property on which to erect a
new italian Catholic school and
church. Bishop Walsh will arrive
here in order to close the deal be-
fore the first of the month, so that
plans for the new buildings may be
started on December / and perhaps
the actual work on the construction
of the school and church shortly
after the first of the year.
AS an acre of land is needed for
the new buildings the bishop has
two plots under consideration, one
Of these is in Washington street
and the other in Penn street. The
church and school are greatly need.
ed here, said Rev. Father Colom-
bino Galassi today, as the present
church of Our Lady of the Most
Holy Rosary, which was erected
sixteen years ago, is too small for
the parish which has a total of at
least 400 families. There are 492
Italian children who are now at
tending the public schools who will
enter the italian parochial school
upon its completion, said Father
Galassi.
Bishop Walsh is now considering
whether or not it would be mere
advisable to build two separate
buildings, one for the church and
the other for the school or to COM
bine the two. This question will
probably be settled while the bishop
is here transacting the purchase of
the property. .

CARPENTIER-JO Joe BECKETT
BOUT IS NOW talked OF

PARIS. Nov. 20 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-Georges Carpenter
is still suffering from his hands, and
unable. as yet, to resume training,
but there is much talk in sporting
circles of a match between Georges
and Joe Beckett of England as well
as a good deal of speculation as to
whether Carpenter will enter COM
petition officially opened by the boz
ing federation for the light heavy
weight title made vacant by the
disqualification of Battling Sikh"
conqueror of Carpenter.
The sporting experts are agreed
that no n worthy of meeting Car
pentier for the title is in sight.
AT the same time they recognize
that Georges must box some one or
retire.
A curious effect of the announce
ment of the competition is a new
ed reaction in favor of Sikh. Some
of the sporting writer's express the
view hat the federation went
rather fast and somewhat far in
Furnishing the colored fighter for his
unseemly behavior.
