PLAN AUTO RECIPROCITY
BETWEEN n. J. AND PENNA.

TRENTON. April 5-Goveraor
Pinchot of Pennsylvania, and Motor
Vehicle Commissioner B. c. Eynon,
that state, have agreed to co-operai e
with Motor Vehicle Commissioner
William L. Dill, of New Jersey, IN
formulating some kind of a recl-
procity program in the interests of
farmers of the two states. it was an
nounced today by the New Jersey
State Department of Agriculture.
The promised cooperation, it was
said, was the result of meeting
between the two Pennsylvania OIL
cials and a committee representing
about $4,000 farmers of both states,
whose farms lie in the Delaware
Valley.
The New Jersey motor Vehicle
regulations allow Pennsylvania cars
in this state fifteen days a year, The
days to be chosen at the drivers
option. Pennsylvania, however,
does not allow New Jersey cars in
the former state on any two days
of the same week, which is said to
have worked a hardship on south
Jersey farmers selling their pro-
ducts in Philadelphia and who ire
compelled to sell perishable fo,d-
stuffs quickly.
A series of conferences along the
border of the two states was suy-
gested, but this was declared 70 be
impossible of realization, owing TO
the large number of commercial
trucks passing between the states.

The many deeds of daring and

COUPLE ESCAPE:
FROM BUILDING
Man and Wife Leave Dwell
ing in SCanty Attire in
Night Fire

ToTTENVILLE, April 5.-Wil-
liam Monk and his wife had a mar
row escape from being burned to
death when a fire completely gut
ted their home at SWANS lane and
Arthur Kill road between Rossville
and Greenridge about $3.50 o'clock
last night. Both Monk and his wife
were in bed having retired early be-
cause of the husband wanting to
start out for work in a neighboring
plant at an early hour.
Monk first smelled smoke and next
felt the heat from the flames which
is said to have started in the kitch-
en- of their home. He and his wife
jumping out of bed were forced to
flee from the burning building with
what few clothes they could gather
up in their haste to leave the struc-
ture.
They came down by the stairs be-
fore the flames had reached that
part of the building. An alarm was
turned in and when the firemen of
Tottenville and Rossville arrived the
building in the interior was a mass
of flames. Engine No. 151 of Tot
tenyille, which is commanded by
Captain John b. Hughes, made the
run, covering the five miles in rec
ord time.
The cause of the fire is unknown
according to the report Of PATROL
man Charles Crossen, who went from
the police booth at Pleasant Plains
to the fire and made the investiga-
tion. The building, a two-story
frame structure which was owned
by Bernard Millergross, of Is VAN
derveer street, Manhattan, was dam
aged to the extent of $4,000, covered
by insurance. This was the second
run by the engine company of Tot
tenville out of town in twenty-four
hours. The first was early yester-
day morning to fire that destroyed
barn on the Clarius farm in Bloom
ingda1e road, Pleasant Plains, not
counting the number of alarms for
brush fires since the first of the
month.

the John B. Rogers Producing Com
pany, the real hard work of prepar-
alton for the Minstrel Mimics, to be
presented by Luke A. Lovely Post

commenced. Mr.. Rawlings arrived
yesterday and took over the work of
directing the large cast at the High

cast for the minstrels and the other
parts, have been selected from South

Legionnaires have roles of import
ance, as has a number of their
friends.

Mulraine, commander of the post,
as interlocutor, with Harry Machool,
Harold G.. Hoffman, Leo J. Coakley,
John J. Stanton, James K. Harkins
and John ]. Triggs, as end men. The
minstrel is exceptionally funny and
the characters give promise to put
over the stuff in good form.
A Day on the Links, is an after
part and "The Island of Never
Known" with James Gordon, as the
queen, is a scream, and is expected
to keep the audience in an uproar
from the start to the curtain.
The ticket distribution is being
handled by the members of the cast,
or can be procured at the Legion
Headquarters at any time. The
show will be staged on two nights,
April 13 and IA. The chairman is
anxious that the admission tickets
be procured as soon as possible, and
that the reserve exchanges be made
as soon after the 9th as is possible.
This course will insure against over
demand at the last moment for
either performance.
Tonight at o'clock, the entire
cast will meet at st. Mary's Hall,
where Mr.. Rawlings, will give fur
ther instructions.
Mrs. Rawlings, who has been IN
this city for the past several days.
putting the cast through the pre-
liminary work, will leave today
sometime for another charge. An
effort to keep her in South Amboy
was made by the committee, on ac-
count of her valuable service, but
the producing company telephoned
that they were unable to get another
director to the place she is schedul-
ed to go to today.
