BANK SITE SELECTED;
WORK To COMMENCE SOON
TemPoraryQuarters Will Be Opened in
Section of Measamer Brothers
Store.

Those directing the launching OF
the Cumberland Bank and Trust Com
pany, met Saturday and took further
steps toward opening the bank for
business at an early date.
1t has been decided that the build
ing will be erected adjoining the T. M.
Rector restaurant on the south and
Measamer Brothers on the north.
The building is to be of brick and only
one story. While the plans have not
been secured the sentiment Saturday
was very strongly for having a pubic
business room in the rear of the BANK
where any person may go to write r
persons may assemble for the discus
sion of business deals. There is TO
be ample accommodations in the way
of paper, pens ink and other facilities
that will be helpful to those having
business matters to discuss. There
is also to be a shed built on the lot to
the rear of the bank where farmer,
can hitch for feeding and to protect
their teams from weather. A water
ing trough is to be provided also
There will be room for parking cars
it is hoped.
The plan is to secure a safe of the
latest and most approved type. The
bank fixtures are to be modern in ev-
cry way. The building is to be only
one story and will probably have a
sky light to provide ample light at all
times.
The present plans are, so far as de-
cided upon, to open the bank for busi
ness in a section of the Measamer
Brothers store that is to be parti-
toned off from the main store. Just
how soon the bank will beopened for
business no one is able to say as it
is not known how soon the safe viii
be purcha sed and received, but it is
understood that the matter is to be
pushed as rapidly as possible. The
capital stock is $4,000. No person has
been selected as cashier as yet, but |
B. w. Bowden, of Jamestown, is
mentioned for the place.
It is expected that work will COM
nence on the new building by the
irst of October or possibly sooner

OFFICER HELD FOR
VIOLATION Of THE
PROHIBITION LAW
Dock Scott Is Bound to Federal
COURT on a Number of
Charges.

! Dock Scott, deputy federal prohibi
ton enforcement officer, was bounC
to federal court Friday on charge
of aiding, abetting, manufacturing
selling and transporting Intoxicating
liquor. The case was tried before
jusices J. F. Brown, o. B.. Rector and
U. S. Rose.
Attorneys for the defendant were H
C Sabine, F. B. McElwee, j. w.
Staples.
The state, represented by Attorney
c. E. Keyes, charged that Scott had
captured stills and reported them to
the federal officers, but failing to re-
ceive the $40 bounty that is placed
on them, he had loaned them to dis
tillers for short periods for use in
manufacturing liquor.
Henry Cottrell, in jail on federal
charge of distilling, was put on the
stand and swore that he made an
agreement with Scott whereby Scott
was to furnish still, meal and other
materials for distilling and to watch
for officers, while Cottrell was to
make and sell the liquor.
Hughlin Parham swore that he saw
Scott's team, driven by SCOTS son,
take load of meal from Ozone and
drive in the direction of Cottrelps
home. He followed the team, and
shortly before he reacher the home of
Cottrell he met the team coming back
with the wagon empty. As it, had
rained shortly before and SCOTS was
the first team on the road after the
rain Parham went on to Cottrell's
home and found hat the team had
turned around there.
Parham also swore that he heard
Scott say, in conversation with Shirley
Copeland: "Cottrell talks too much. IL
he doesn't keep still he will get us
all in trouble"
Cottrell's wife swore that Scott and
his son, Ed, came to her home in the
night and told Cottrell in her pres
ence that they had come for still
and that "if they come for it and it
isn't there we will get into trouble"
After the state had finished Scott
took the stand Attorney Keyes went
to bring his stenographer to take
down Scott's testimony in writing. But
when the attorney returned, however,
SCOTS lawyers closed the case with
out allowing Scott to testify
Scott was bound to federal court
at Cookeville by unanimous verdict
of the three justices. His bond was
fixed at. $1,000. The bond was i'm
drawn up and signed by
nine wel-to-do citizens of lockwood
and Roane county. This gave the
$1,000 bond backing in excess of
100000, according to Chairman ]. F.
Brown.
The signers of the bond were: M. L.
Brown, J. D. Tanner, L. G. Mcclure,

TENNIS

One of the reasons for the heavy
hitting in the majors last year is the
use of long, heavy bats.
So says Jack Foursier, the smuggling
first baseman of the St Louis Nat
ionals, who is visiting in Seattle.
You ought to see the bats they
have nowadays in the majors, said
Jahk, land it is no wonder that there
is some smuggling going on. Every
body either is or imagines he is a
slugger, and for the past two years
the batters have been taking their
cuts.
Maybe the lively ball started them
going, but the pill used in the Nat
ional League was not lively last fall.
The batters, having been used to
swinging all season, merely walked
right at the ball and whaled away at
it. When they hit it, the infielders
ducked
1T was as much as taking your life
in your hands in our league last year.
Whenever a slugger like Geo. Kelley,
Irish iMeusel, Ed Roush or Frank
Frisch came up to the bat, you'd
notice the players sneaking glance
at the bench to see if the manager
was wanting them to play back. They

h;Eas nice when you were at the plate,
u utldecidedly uncomfortable when you
were in the infield. The pitchers used
to say a prayer before every game,
they being in a little closer to the
heavy artillery than the rest of us.
Used FungO-Shaped Bat
1.-THE style of bate has changed
measurably since 1 was with the
White Sox several years ago. In
those days we used a long, light,
slender stick and took a nice slap at
the ball. Some of us would choke
the bat and try to push or pull the
ball Others would take their swings,
but having a light stick, got nowhere
nedr the power. Today you rarely

Go to Full Size
Nowadays the bat used by the big
fellows is the full IA inches in di-
ameter at the big end and sometimes
is almost the AZ inches in length al
lowed by the rules. They weight any
where from so to so ounces, and they
feel like a war club most have felt

ODDITIES IN BROWNS RAFTING
Trio of OutfielderS Practically Tied In
Figures Last Year

If the St. oLuis American team can
show as much batting strength at the
beginning of the season of 1922. as it
possessed at the finish of 1921, and if
it can get good start, as opposed to
the horrible start that it made last
year. there is no team in the league
that has a better chance to keep the
New York Americans from repeating.
The collective batting strength of
the st. Louis Differs is greater than
that of either of the New York clubs,
and bottle of them are champion Or

and on it's first baseman, which isof
much benefit to the club, because it
means that the good EATERS are in
every game. Where teams must de-
pend upon catchers for batting they
are often handicapped because the
catchers cannot play continuously.

WILL DISCUSS
OVERHEAD WIRES
Aldermen to Consider Re-
quest of Lions Club for
Meeting With Utilities

The request of the Perth Amboy
Lions Club for a conference of city
officials and representatives of the
several utility concerns having over
head wires and poles along Smith
and State streets, will be discussed
by the aldermen tomorrow night at
their regular committee meeting.
The aldermen have already taken
action IN this matter, having secured
from City Attorney Leo Goldberger,
an opinion as to the power of the
city to force these utilities to remove
their poles and place the wires. now
overhead, under ground. The city
attorneys opinion declared that the
city was powerless to force the util-
ity companies to take this action at
the expense of the various companies
affected.
The Lions Club has now asked for
a conference between representatives
of the utility companies and the
Board of Aldermen, having already
been in communication with the util-
ity companies and secured their con-
sent to confer on the matter.
Another matter which will come
before the council members tomor-
row night will be the request of the
Board of Education for a legal con-
veyance of the building formerly
used as the city stables in order that
extensive alterations and improve
ments might be made. The alder
men have given the school board
permission to use the building Tor
school purposes but no legal con-
veyance has been made. The school
board intends to make alterations
costing about $4,000. Remarks
made by aldermen at the meeting
following receipt of the letter from
the school board would indicate
that the aldermen consider $4,000
too much to spend on the old build
ing for repairs.
City Clerk Arthur E. Graham has
not yet received any word from the
State Highway Commission as to
whether or not that body has ap-
proved the awarding of the Amboy
avenue paving contract to Graham
& McKeon. The work is under
way, but the bonds, the sale of
which will furnish the money to pay
for the construction, cannot be is
sued until this state approval is
secured The city clerk wrote this
week to the secretary of the high
way commission in an effort to
speed up their action in the mat
ter.
The new electrical ordinance
which has been in the course OF
preparation for some time will
likely again be considered at the
committee meeting.
