Strength of Johnson
HE GIVES STATEMENT

National Chairman
HE GIVES STATEMENT
BY GEORGE ii. MANNING
Washington Corresponding of The
Perth Amboy Evening News

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The
New Jersey delegates to the Repub-
lican National Convention in 1924
will be for Coolidge, but it will take
n fight to keep the Johnson forces
from capturing them, Hamilton F..
Kean. of Elizabeth, Republican Ma
tional Committeeman for New Jer
sey, told President Coolidge at a
conference at the White House to-
day.
Mr.. Kean came to Washington, he
said. to talk over political affairs
in New Jersey with president Cool
idge and Republican National Chair
man Adams. and to warn them that
if they hoped to have New Jersey
in the Coolidge column at the Ma
tional convention in 1924 consider
able hard work will be required.
"I am for Coolidge in 1924 and /
believe most of the leaders and the
voters will be also" declared Mr.
Kean upon leaving the White House.
but we cannot rest on our oars.
The johnson forces are busy
throughout New Jersey and we must
get out and work If we are to have
the states delegation for Coolidge
at the convention next year. In
1921, through hard work, Johnson
captured eleven of New jerseys
twenty eight convention delegates.
The Johnson forces are out to do
better this year"
Mr.. Kean said that in order to
prevent any conflict between Senator
Edge and former Senator Freling-
huysen, he believed that it can be
arranged to have both to the con-
vention as delegates-at-large
When asked concerning the re-
ports that he might be candidate
for the United States senate next
year Mr.. Kean asserted he had not
vet thrown his hat into the ring; but
was careful to state that "one an
not tell what may happen or what
turn affairs may take" He is not a
receptive candidate, however, ne de-
clared in response to the direct ques-
ton.
Upon leaving the White House
National Committeeman Kean called
on Republican National Chairman
Adams to discuss arrangements for
the regional conference to be held
in Trenton November 26 and 27 OF
the Republican men and women
leaders of New Jersey, New YORK.
PENNSYLVANIA, Delaware, Maryland
and the District of Columbia. This
Is to be "get together" conference
for the purpose of perfecting the or
carnations of those states, getting
everybody acquainted with con1i-
tione and with each other and I'm %

ROTARY AGAIN
BOOSTS BRIDGE
Advantage of Structure to
TottenvilIe From a Com
merCiaI Standpoint

The Perth Amboy -Tottenville
bridge got another boost at the
weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club
at the New Packer House today. The
speaker was John r. Hugh, of the
Staten Island Chamber of Commerce.
He declared that Staten Islanders
were 100 per cent behind the Perth
Amboy project in spite of the fact
that there is agitation for a bridge
at Elizabethport and also for one at
Bayonne.
Mr.. Hugh emphasized the import
ance of the bridge from a CONNER
cial standpoint. He said the tend
ency was to think of this bridge only
with the pleasure vehicles in mind,
but, in his opinion, the bridge would
be of tremendous value to manutac-
turers and business generally. Fig
ures were quoted . show that
trucking by automobile is the cheap
est form of transportation today,
and this kind of transportation was
bound to develop. He said the
manufacturers of the middle west
were looking more and more to the
markets on the Atlantic coast, and
Staten Island was favored location.
A bridge across Staten Island sound
would make it possible for these
concerns to truck material readily,
and they would be quick to seize the
advantage.
There was some discussion as to
the best way to get the bridge built.
Ferd Garretson, chairman of the
civic committee which has the
bridge project in charge as far as
the Rotary Club is concerned, point
ed out the feasibility of getting pri-
vate capital to build the bridge,
charging a toll. 1t was believed that
such bridge would be a paying in
vestment from the start. Max Wurt-
eel, Arthur Stern and George Reyn-
olds spoke from the merchants point
OF view, all agreeing that a bridge
would be decidedly advantageous to
Perth Amboy.

ARMED BANDITS HOLD-UP
GIRL; GET $4,000 PAYROLL

HOBOKEN, Nov. 21-Two armed
men held up Miss Mary Orenge,
employe of the Button Machine
Company, and robbed her of the
company's S2,S00 pay roll at 11th

New York license.
Miss Orenge had been taken to
the Hudson Trust Company bank in
an automobile by Clarence Sraisse-
net, treasurer of the machine com
pany, for the money. He returned
with her to the factory and drove
away as she entered the hallway of
the building.
Miss Orenge said she was met by
two armed men in the hall who told
her to drop the money which she
gdid. The men Immediately fled with
it in their car, which was standing
outside. No trace of the bandits
has been found.

REDUCE TAXES
GERAN URGES
But Why Pick on Soldiers,
Congressman Says in
Statement Today
WHY NOT EC0N0MIZE?
Why Can't Taxes be Reduced
and Have Bonus, Too He
Wants to Know
WHY NOT ECoNoMIzE?

MATAWAN, Nov. 21:-There has
been much speculation during the
past few days as to how Congress
man Elmer II. Geran of the third
congressional district stands con-
cerning the plan put forward by
Secretary Mellon for the reduction
of the income tax. In a statement
today to an Evening News represen-
tative Mr.. Geran gave out the fol-
lowing for publication:
Everybody wants to see the taxes
reduced, but why pick on the sol
diers and say the taxes cannot be re-
duced If a bonus bill is going to be
passed? 1t might be possible to
economize somewhere else and so
cut down the taxes.
ut might be possible to raise the
bonus money by some way rather
than by direct taxation. Why tie
the two together--that you can't
have reduced taxes if you have a
bonus?"
Mr.. Geran Is taking an active in
terest in the development Of the
waterways of New Jersey and the
third congressional district in par
ticular. He declared today that not
only is he deeply interested in the
deepening of the Raritan bay and
river, but also the deepening of the
Shrewsbury river from the High
lands into Red Bank.
Mr.. Geran is also very enthusiast
tic over the progress that has been
made in the preliminary work for
the deep water canal from Morgan
on the Raritan bay to Bordentown
on the Delaware river and stated
emphatically that during his stay in
Washington and as long as he Is
chosen to represent the third con-
gressional district he will try to get
the appropriation through for the
completion of this canal which Is
greatly needed to complete the in
land waterway from the Great
Lakes to the state OF Florida.

SET ASIDE BY
COUNTY JUDGE

Doctor Was Not Mentally
Capable of Making Will

$1--Chauffeur, Harry Moh-
ring Got Rest of Estate

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. I'll
Decision setting aside the Will OF
DIR. Charles Nj. Freeman, late OF
Metuchen, and late husband OF Mary
Il. wilkins Freeman, widely known

Judge Kirk patrick, who heard
testimony in a contest of the will,
made six months ago by Mrs. Free
man, decided that DR.. Freeman was
mot of sufficient mental capacity to
Snake. a will, that he suffered from
chronic alcoholism, and that medl-
cal testimony showed conclusively
that his mind was diseased. Judge
Kirlxpatrick also held that Harry
Mohring, principal beneficiary, had
not been known to DR.. Freeman
more than six months.
DIR. Freeman's will, dated July IL,
1922, gave to Lettie Patterson, SER
want, $1,000, and to his four sisters
$500 each. Mrs. Freeman and the
four sisters filed a caveat against the
will. which was heard by Judge
Kirkpatrick several months ago, de-
cision being reserved.
In holding that DR.. Freeman had
known Mohring only briefly the de-
cisions says that Mohring had been
adequately compensated for his
work by his salary
FORMER State Senator Theodore
Strong as cousel for Mohring will
file an appeal in the prerogative
court at Trenton against the deci-
sion. If this appeal is denied Mary
e. Wilkins Freeman and the late DR..
Freeman's four sisters will divide

RED CROSS TAG
DAY SATURDAY
Mrs. Rea Hendrie, Chairman
of Work. Women and Girls
to Help Cause

In an effort to boost the annual
Red Cross roll call in this city
which has been slightly tagging, the
local chapter will hold a tag day on
Saturday of this week, it was an
nounced this morning.
Mrs. Rea Hendrie is chairman of
the tag day committee and has ar
ranged to date almost 100 women
and girls who will be assigned to pa
troll the various streets. At present
@ group of school girls are getting
the material ready for the tag sub
scriptions, which is expected to be a
splendid success in sending the
membership total to a big increase.
The workers will take to the
streets early Saturday morning and
collect throughout the entire day
No special price has been set on the
tags and the passerby may give any
thing he so desires.
Every canvassing team is working
hard in securing memberships and
the plant committees are lending
their efforts equally as much. Plant
No. of the Roessler &s Hasslacher
Chemical Company reported this
morning that they have subscribed
every IHeDlDeT III ludl pant NlOI lilS
first to go 100 per cent. Last year
the office of that company was the
first to report 100 per cent.
Every chapter in the entire coun-
try is making an effort to be one of
the first to report their total reach
ed. Many OF them are a few steps
from going "over the top" while
Perth Amboy is right In line with
some of the leaders. 1t is hoped
that everyone will cooperate with
the local chapter and the workers
in making early returns in order
that this city will be one of the first
to report to National headquarters
at Washington with full member
ship.
The chairman of roll call, William
H. Fraser, requests that anyone who
is not reached by the canvassers can
enroll by sending their fee to roll
call headquarters at the Perth Am
boy Trust Company.

HUGE TREE IN NEW ZEALAND
kauri Is Found That Is Estimated to
Be at Least Two Thousand
Years Old.

One Of the largest trees in the
world, if not the largest, has been dis
covered in the bush at Waihou, Hoki-
anga, New Zealand 1t is huge kauri
tree, the vast trunk rising to a height
of seventy-five feet before being
broken by the first branch, and meas
uring twenty-five feet in diameter and
siXty-six feet, or approximately a
chain, in girth.
A well-known bush expert estimates
the tree to contain more than 1867
600 superficial feet of timber suffi-
cient to build three double-storied
hotels of twenty rooms each from
floor to ceiling.
1t is to be hoped that this remark
able tree will be zealously guarded
from destruction and preserved to
show future generations what the
lordly kauri at its best was like. From
marketable point of view 1t would
be impossible to fell it, much less
break it down, no mill possessing saws
big enough to tackle it.
The age Of the giant is estimated to
be at least 1000 years, and, carefully
preserved, it has another thousand
years of life before it.-Forestry Jour-

TO PREVENT ROT IN
HANDLING POTATOES

(By Arthur Frank, plant patholo-
gist, Western Washington expert
ment station).
Many different rots cause de-
struction of potato tubers while
in storage. Some rots are caused
by diseases which have been prev
alent upon the plants during the
growing season, but many are
caused by fungi and bacteria
which gain access to the tubers
during digging and hauling.
The diseases such as late blight
and others can be kept from plants
by spraying and other control
measures during the growing sea
son. The other forms of decay
can be guarded against by taking
care not to break, bruise or cut
open the skin of tubers while
harvesting them. An unbroken
skin or cork layer is a natural
protection against the inroads of
much rot organisms. All possible
care should be taken not to break
the skins. Many tubers are bruis-
ed and the skins broken. These
should be disposed Of at once and
not stored.
Often diseases which have been
active in the field will continue
their growth in the storage cellar
on the tubers unless their develop
ment is retarded by low tempera-
ture. This is true for late blight,
some types of fusarium rot and
black leg rot.
The strictly storage rots will
start readily and advance rapidly
if the storage cellar is warm. Keep
the storage cellar, if possible, at a
uniform temperature under 40 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and above frrez-
ing. 1t should be dry and well
ventilated. High temperatures
during storage may cause black
heart and increase the severity of
other troubles. Special care hould
be given the storage of seed stock
Storage cellars or bins should be
cleaned out and all the old refuse
from last year sould be swept VI
and burned. Then disinfect the
walls and floors with a solution Of
one pint of formaldehyde with IL
or Is gallons of water. Wash
sacks and crates also unless they
should be new.
The annual clean out Of the stor
age bin, its disinfection, care il
harvesting to prevent bruising an(
wounding tubers, the placing o.
tubers in ideal storage conditions
will prevent much damage to thu
stock through rot.
