Aylin Pierson Gives Account
of Rotary Convention-Big-
gest One Got Away

Aylin Pierson, former president of
the Perth Amboy Rotary Club, gave
the local Rotarians vivid descrip-
ton of the International convention
OF Rotary Clubs that was held in
ST Louis a few weeks ago, at the
weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club
at the Packer House today. Aylin,
who was a delegate from the Perth
Amboy Club, was supposed to give a
report of the convention. He spoke
for half hour, twentynine minutes
of which time was taken up in de-
scribing the excellent fishing n
Yellowstone Park. Aylin said he
caught a salmon or g. trout, he was
mt sure which it was. that weighed
ten pounds, but it got away The
up in presenting a huge bundle of
printed documents which, Aylin sa q,
told all about the convention. The
club members had to take Aylin's
word for it. After hearing about the
fish his statement about the docu-
ments, was accepted with credulity.
Aylin presented each Rotarian
with a souvenir. He announced, as
he passed out the little packages
neatly tied with baby ribbon. that
they contained a likeness of the
first inhabitant of the Yellowstone
Park. The souvenir proved to be q
buffalo nickel.
While in Salt Lake City Aylin con-
fessed that he came near being con-
verted to the Mormon religion. Ay-
lip's appearance today was greeted
with cheers.
Fred BRIGGS the song leader was
present today for the first time since
returning from his honeymoon. In
response to the demand of the
members Fred sang Let the Rest
of the World Go By as a solo. He
was given an enthusiastic reception.
Fred Neidermeyer also made his
first appearance since his vacation
today and he tried to get away with
a fish story something to the effect
that he and another man caught
forty-five or fifty trout more or less,
in couple of hours. But after
hearing Aylin, Fred's story was for
gotten.

Officer
SCARSITY OF FUNDS

Members of the Board of Health
at their regular meeting last night
heard reports of the forced closing
of the isolation hospital and the
dental clinic during the summer
months because of a lack of neces-
sary funds. The isolation hospita.
has been closed since June l and
the dental clinic also has beer
closed for a month. Commencing
May 1 no patients would be accept
ed at the isolation hospital who
would not be in condition to leave
the building within thirty days as
the decision to close on June l had
been reached when 1t was found
the boards finances were not such
as would permit the operation OF
this building during the summer.
The con1ptroller's report, as re-
ceived last night, showed $14,S34.s1
expended by the health board thus
far this year, leaving a balance o
s13,165.69. Health Officer Charles
S. Thompson requested DR.. Charlek
I. silk, president of the board, &c
name a committee to investigate
the advisability of painting and re-
pairing the interior of the isolation
hospital and dental clinic and re-
port back at the next meeting.
President Silk named a committee
of two, consisting of Commissioners
William Zangenberg and Benjamin
Goldberger. An application was re-
ceived from DR.. Albert II. Loder,
of Kearney avenue, for the appoint
ment as dentist in the clinic. Or.
Marion Chiger, formerly in charge
of the clinic, resigned leaving the
office vacant. The application OF
DR.. Loder was accompanied by sew.
eraI recommendations and was laid
over until the next meeting.
An application was received from
Miss Ruth Parsons for the position
of nurse. The letter was filed. A
request for permission to install a
toilet in Grove street was referred
to the plumbing committee with
power. Bills amounting to $4S2.35
were ordered paid and the health
officers report received.
The report of the health omce1
showed a big improvement IN the
city's death rate for June as COM
pared with June of last year. Ine
death rate per 1000 last month was
7.26 as compared with 11.16 in June
of last year. There was an increase
in the infant mortality rate over
that of June, 1922, however. The
rate last month was $3.50 per 1,0OO
births as compared with 67.76 last
year. During June there were II
deaths of children under one year
of age and 16 deaths of persons over
one year. During June, 1922, there
were 8 deaths under one year ana
80 over one year.
The communicable disease report
showed twenty-four cases OF
measles. There were none reported
in May. Eleven cases of scarlet
fever and four of diphtheria were
reported last month.

F|RPO READY
FOR WILLARD
Great Interest in Heavy
Weight Battle at Jersey
City Tomorrow Night

NEW YORK, July IL (By The
Associated Press)--Two of the most
widely divergent types the prize
ring has ever known will swing into
action with both fists flying tomorrow
night at Boyle's Thirty Acres where
Jess Willard and Luis Angel Firpc
will seek the right to become a
challenger for. Jack Dempsey's title.
Both are terrific punchers and
posse essors of remarkable stamina
but there the similarity between
these two fistic mastodons ends
Firpo, a rk-browed, silent son OF
the Argentine, is a natural fighter
a rushing, savage battler who has
known no barrier to an attack that
has swept him in year to pugilistio
heights. Willard, slower afoot and
at times sluggish in his ring actions
fights deliberately and chiefly on the
defensive, unless he is aroused to
sudden action or sees a chance to
whip over an uppercut that carries
devastating force.
Firpo has the advantage of youth
he is 26 and Willard is around 40
He is faster and can attack at more
angles. But to offset this, the tow
ering Kansan. will have rs to 80
pounds advantage in weight, nearly
five inches in height and five inches
in reach,
Firpo, most critics agree, must
carry the fight to Willard from the
start. They believe his main chance
of victory is in the first few rounds

variably been slow in warming up to
his work. 1t was by whirlwind at
tack in the first round that Jack
Dempsey battered Willard into a
state of semi flooring the
big fellow seven times and paving
the way for the end. This type of
battle is believed to be the plan of
the South Americans veteran mem
tor and trainer, Jimmy DeForest,
who was behind Dempsey at Toledo
and is fully acquainted with Wizards
style.
On the other hand. the former
champion has the lesson of the
Dempsey fight by which to profit
and his handlers are confident that
his defensive warfare will forestall
Firpo if the latter elects to rush the
milling from the start. They believe
that the longer the fight lasts the
better Willard's chances of victory
will be.
If experts have "doped" the bout
correctly, it will be a battle between
Wizards early defensive powers
against Firpo's rushes, for the first
few rounds, and If the fight goes
longer, a toss-up as to whether a
Willard uppercut or one of Firpo's
sledge-hammer thrusts with his right
turns the tide of battle.
Today will be one of comparative
rest for the two boxers, Their ar
duous training over, both men plan
only enough exercise to keep them
in fighting trim.

had prospects of sellout of all

HARDING SAILS
FROM JUNEAU
Pushes on in Further Search
of information Relating to
Problems of Alaska

ABOARD U. S. S. HENDERSON
WITH PRESIDENT HARDING,
July IL (By The Associated Press)-
Carrying with him memories Of a
most pleasant day spent in the
Alaskan capital, President Hard
ing sailed from Juneau early today
in further search OF information
relating to Alaskan problems. De-
cision was reached just before sail
ing to stop for short time at Skas-
way en- route to Seward instead of
making the visit to the town on the
return trip to the Continental Unit
ed States.
The rain which fell throughout
yesterday to the great disappoint-
ment OF the people of Juneau, was
continuing when the Henderson
sailed and with the fog, made the
time or arrival at Skagway uncer-
tain.
While it was indicated that the
president and the members of his
official family have reached no def
mite conclusion, they have we'll in
mind the problems peculiar to
southeastern Alaska.
Virtual decision was reached yes
terday to abandon plans for the trip
from Fairbanks to Chitina over the
Richardson trail because of its rig
orous nature, neeessitating, travel
ing in automobiles for three days
over. rough roads, with some of the
party sleeping in tents. But today
the president was said TO be recon-
sidering and desirous of making that
portion of the trip as scheduled.
Mrs. Harding was also said to be in
sisting that the trail portion of the
trip be made as scheduled. although
all the members of the party. in
cluding President Harding, have
urged her not to atempt it.
If the trail trip is abandoned, the
party will return from Fairbanks to
Seward on the Alaska railroad.

No CHILD LABOR
MENACE HERE
City Free From Disgrace so
Prominent in Other Cities
of the State
NO "HOME FACT0RIES''
City Officials Know of no
Cases Where Children are
Forced to Work

From a survey made today among
those in the city who are in author
ity and who should know the con-
ditions as they exist here, it is owl
dent that Perth Amboy is free of the
sweat shop disgrace which has been
recently found in many large manu-
featuring cities of the state.
Although a drive is now being
made, by the Department of Labor
under the direction of Deputy Com
missioner of Labor Charles H.
Weeks, in all sections of the state to
learn who. may be guilty of the
practice, especially where children
are forced to sit for hours in a poor
ly ventilated room and work over
clothing-sometim in order to keep
the wolf from the door-but more
often by greedy parents, it is likely
that this condition will not be found
. to exist here. All inspectors of the
department are at work on the mat
Tter and although it may be that some
cases will be found here, the general
opinion among the officials of the
city is that they will be very few
when compared with other cities of
the state.
Those questioned today on the pos
sibility of sweat shop conditions be-
ing found here had the following to
say:
Mayor William C. Wilson, said: "I
do not know of any"
City Attorney David 7. Wilentz de-
clared: "If 1 knew of any they
would be prosecuted on behalf of the
city"
Overseer of the Poor, Math Han
sen, "There are no sweat shops in
the city that I know of. If there
were any would certainly know Of
some of them."
DR.. Charles S. Thompson, D. v. S.
health officer and secretary of the
Board of Health declared that he did
not know of any in this city and that
If children were employed at home
to work on clothing or do any other
work of this kind, it would without
doubt be reported by the city nurses
who daily visit the homes in the city
where this sort of work would be
done. As far as Dir. Thompson could
recall, no nurse had ever reported
that child had been i'll due to work
they were doing at home.
Alderman-at-La Richard j..
Calvin said his business often takes
him into the various apartment and
tenement houses of the city, but he
did not know of any home where
sweat shop conditions exists.
Chief of Police Neils>J. Tonnesen
said he knew of no such conditions
existing in this city.

RUM RUNNERS ABANDON
BIG LIQUOR SUPPLY

ATLANTIC CITY, July 1.-Two
men abandoned cargo of whiskey
and brandy valued at over $4,000
in a dory by plunging from the craft
into the inlet waters at 1880 this
morning as the Federal coastguard
lifeboat in command of Captain John
Holdzkom, with crew of five men
hailed them.
They did not take time to shut
down the powerful engine in the
craft, and for a few minutes the
rum-runner ran wild. She was over
taken in a short race by the coast
guards who preferred seizing the
craft to capturing the swimmers.
One hundred cases of liquor were
counted.
