CARTERET RARY
DIES Of BURNS
Little Girl Trips and Falls Into
Burning Garbage in
Borough

CARTERET, June ia bonfire
started last night in the back yard
of Is Somerset street, this borough
by a young boy proved fatal when
tWo-year old Helen Bohinki, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Bohin-
Xxi, died this morning at the Perth
Amboy City hospital as a result of
burns received as she fell into the
lump of burning garbage shortly al
ter 6 o'clock last night.
According to the story of Helen S
younger brother one of the boys liv-
ing in the vicinity of Bohinki home
started a fire of the garbage. At first
there were a number of children
around the fire, but later they dis
persed. Helen and her three year
old sister remained in the yard.
Helen however, somehow or other
played around the fire again and
trippIed into the mass of burning
garage. The cries of her sister Olga,
brought the mother Anna TO the
yard who in an attempt to save the
child, also burned her hands.
The child and the mother were
taken to the office of DIR. Samuel
Messenger, who after giving the child
medical attention said that there was
little chance of recovery of the child.
An ambulance took the mother and
her child to the Perth Amboy City
Hospital where the child expired.

HUGHES BOOSTS
WORLD COURT
Constitutes Tribunal With
Standards Like Our
Courts

HANOVER, New Ha ampshire, June
19:-The permanent court of inter-
national justice constitutes a tribun-
al with standards that conform to
our highest courts" Secretary
Hughes said here today, speaking at
the alumni gathering in connection
with commencement exercises at
Dartmouth college.
Il make bold to say Mr.. Hughes
said, that the United States could
today with greater satisfaction sub
nit TO disputes to which it is a par
ty to this court than TO any arbitral
tribunal it would be possible TO set
up"
Mr.. Hughes applauded the in
creasing interest in foreign peoples
and our relations with them" now
evident in the United States but
said that if this interest was not to
serve merely to promote the con-
.stant endeavors of propagandists or
of racial groups il must have
its support in a careful study of
history and the understanding of
other nations and their conditions
which the colleges should provide
IN our foreign relations We de-
sire peace. security and cooperation
said the secretary. Would that the
spirit of America had one voice, one
messag age. But there is a babel ef
voices, a confusion Of tongues. II
danger threatens US. we happily
stand united; but when we are least
concerned as to our own safety we
are most divided in our eounsels.
But allowing for all the inevitable
differences, is it too much to expect
that we should have one controlling
voice. one dominant message as 70
the fundamentals We are intent
en- peace, and because OF this the
United States can never refuse is
support to institutions of Justice.

loon Here Enters Into Fed

Brought Out in Testimony
as Case Continues

NEWARK, June 19:-Prohibition
Agent Wilbert Dey of Fords. the

enforcement agent Samile Henri
Cone here this morning, admitted
striking a man over the head dur
ing a raid on David Wolfson's sa-
loon in Perth Amboy, but said he

injuries and denied that Cone had
made any charge of murder against
him as the result of the incident.

man after he and another man had
attacked him. Dey said he did not
have the man arrested at the time
as he could not learn his name. The
witness said he never inquired about
the condition.. of the man and did
not know he Had died.
Cone attorneys charged that Dey's
story of Cones efforts 10 secure
money out of certain bootleggers and
saloonkeepers in Perth Amboy for
protection against arrest was the re-
suit of an organized attempt to get
Cone and also because of personal
hard feeling between Dey and Conc
because the latter closed a chat
mortgage upon a car of Dey. .
