CANDIDATES ABSENT FROM
REPUBLICAN MEETING

The invitations sent out to the
men who have been mentioned as
likely candidates for sheriff, assem-
blyman and freeholder in this coun-
ty failed to bring forth much of a
response at the regular meeting OF
the Perth Amboy Republican club.
Former mblyman Edward ]
Peterson who seeks the nomination
for sheriff was present as was Free
holder Walter Quackenbush, desir-
ing reelection on the county board.
The others spoken of as candidates
were conspicuous by their absence
The turnout was not large and the
hot night was given as the reason
for the small attendance.
The new bylaws of the club were
read over but not adopted. The COM
mittee named to select the strong
est candidate for alderman in the
sixth ward announced that 1t was
unable to make any definite report
as several candidates doomed VI

SIX SPECIAL OFFICERS
NAMED At SO. AMBOY

SOUTH AMBOY. July II - Six
men were confirmed as special off
GERS without pay last night by the
Common Council, after their APP
pointments by Mayor Daniel C,
Chase. The majority if not all of
these men will be used on week-ends
to help with the great influx of traf-
hc, so evident this year.
The action of the mayor, in APP
pointing so many men as special Of
%ficers, proves beyond a doubt the
need for added help in the police
force, especially over the week-ends.
Several of these men have previous
to their confirmation helped along
the busy thoroughfares with the
traffic. Their unselfsh sacrifice has
been comented upon not alone by
local motorists, but a large number
OF pedestrians who have found ii
impossible to cross at street inter-
sections without their help. These
men receive no pay for their work,
and should, according to many, re-
ceive the kind support of the peo-
pie of the city.
Those appointed to serve one year
without pay, as special officers are
Israel Mount, David Dill, Charles
Sprague, John Roberts, Walter
Barkalow and Chris Nicorvo.
The men have no uniforms but
are supplied with a badge and a
police whistle.

PROBE ATTACK ON MAN
NEAR CARTERET BOROUGH

John A. Crump. twenty-five years
old. the young colored man of Mer-
Ger street, Carteret, brought to the
Perth Amboy City hospital Mond ~
night has a fractured skull, ac-
cording to the hospital authorities.
This was determined after a thor
ough examination by DR.. Slobodien,
who is in attendance on the man.
Crump was brought to the hospital
about $3.50 O'Clock Monday night in
the Woodbridge police ambulance
by Sergeant Romond of the Wood
bridge department suffering with
a severe wound on the left side of
the head, which at the time was be-
lleved to have been made by some
blunt instrument in the hands of
some person who probably waylaid
the nan on the street.
Crump was found in an uncon-
scious condition OH the road near
the c%reosote plant situated between
Woodbridge and Port Reading, and
after being attended by DR.. Collins
of Woodbridge, was brought to the
hospital. 1t was believed at first
that he had only a severe Iacerated
wound. Although he has made no
statement during his rational mo-
ments at the hospital the police Of
Woodbridge who are still conducting
an investigation believe he received
his injuries from one of the fellow
employees of %creosote plant where
he was employed. The police have
been at the camp where these coll
ored men live but could not secure
any information from any one there.
Although his condition is serious he
was somewhat improved this morn
ing. 1t was said at the hospital.

GERMAN RAID|NG PARTY
KIDNAP COUNTRYMEN

ESSEN, July IL (B The Associat-
ed Press).-The Germans in some
sections of the occupied territory
have adopted nocturnal raiding party
methods towards such of their fell
low countrymen as have dealings
with the French, riding them out OF
the country in automobiles and on
horseback, often with threats. The
French authorities say they have
the names of five men who were
kidnapped, two of them from the
town of Pommern and three from
Witten.
In one instance the kidnappers
wore white sheets over their heads
and shoulders. Two of the men from
Pommern and one of those from
Witten were taken from their homes
at night. The last time the two
were seen they were in an automo-
bile and the other one on horseback
bound for the frontier, which is clos
ed everywhere and guarded by
French troops. The raiders are be-
lieved to be working in conjunction
with other Germans at Hamm, in
the u~noccupied territory.
The abducted men were not work
ing for the occupying forces. the
French declare, but were merely me-
gotiating with them on various mat
ters. One of the kidnapped Germans
was chairman of a committee on In
employment and had been dealing
with the French on the unemploy-
ment situation.

SCOUTS
Most Interesting Event by
Troop No. 10 Given at
st. Peters Parish House

A demonstration was held last
night at Sc. Peters on Rector street
under the auspices of the Boy Scout
Troop 10. An unusually large mum
Der were present and all were high
in their praises of the scouts who
gave demonstrations in pioneering.
Some of the things demonstrated
were the erection of a lean-to, a
bridge and a camp kitchen. All the
work done by the boys came in for
critical inspection and hardly a flaw
was found in it.
Besides the building, stunts were
done by the boys and several of the
members Of the troop gave recita-
lions. Harmonica solos were render
ed and many were stirred by the
in which they were given.
The we'll known Cahill sisters of
this city also gave several vocal
selections which brought rounds of
applause. A tug of war was held
between the representative troop
team and that of troop 10 of Pts
Getaway. After a hard fought bat
tie the latter was victorious.
Talks on scouting were given by
Commissioner Kalquist and the
members of the troop committee,
Ronald Kleckner. Maxwell Nc
Michael and w. c. Horley. Troop
IL of P~iscataway was the guest of
the local troop.
AS an award for 100 per cent at
tendance at meetings for the past
year two boys, Elmer and Henry Mel
son. brothers, were presented with
medals. As a gift from the troop
members the three men on the troop
committee were presented with uni
forms and arm bands so that they
may appear on special occasions In
their official dress.
The troop wishes to thank Mrs.
Currier for the large cake which she
gave TO the troop for last nights af-
fair. After the demonstration re-
freshments were served. The hall
was decorated with the troop and
and patrol flags and with the minia-
camp fire a typical boy scout
setting was the result,
