THEATRES
nITMAS

Souls for Sale" a Goldwyn film
from Rupert Hughes story of movie
life, is being shown all this week at
the Ditmas. Much had been pre-
dicted for this smashing feature
with it's cleverly developed plot, its
thrilling climax and it's exceptional
" chosen cast, all worked out I'M
der the deft hand of the author him.
self, but unlike other much herald
ed pictures, this one does not dis
appoint.
AS may be surmised from the
title, the story deals with the I'M
founded belief hat a girl must sell
her soul to win fame in the movies.
The heroine, pretty Eleanor Board
man, believes this, but finds souls
are a drug on the market in the
movie colony. However, she does
obtain a part in the movies, and the
film discloses how success is actually
won before the camera.
The never-to-be-forgotten scene
occurs at the end when the immense
circus tent, large enough to hold
5000 persons, is wrecked by a tor
nado at night. Then lightning sets
it afre. The villain, Lew Cody, is
insane with jealousy and tries tt
murder Tom Hobby, who is Frank
Mayo. He doesn't, of course, but for
a time it looks really serious for
Frank Mayo and Eleanor Boardman.
Another first class Goldwyn cast
is in Souls for Sale" including Bar
bara La Mari as the movie vamp,"
Mae Busch, Richcard Dix, and other
well known players.

SOUTH AMBOT. May 31-The
council il Seems mas Tor the past
two weeks, or properly since BRAY
erman & Smith, city auditors, com
pleted their audit, and turned same
over TO Councilman George r. De-
laney, chairman OF finances of the
city, two copies of the city audit,

At the meeting of the council held
May i, the prepared audit was. il
is understood to be read. Council
man Delaney at the close of the
meeting. on failure to hear the au-
dit read, asked the city clerk where
the audit was. The city clerk. re-
piled hat he had not seen the audit
and could not possibly read it.
Councilman Delaney then moved
that the city clerk instruct city
Treasurer Hoffman TO turn over the
copy he borrowed from the mayor,
which he, Councilman Delaney, has
loaned to Mr.. Chase. All went well
until a communication from the
city easur was received Tuesday
night stating that the copy of the
audit he, Nj. Hoffman, has belonged
to him as part Of the records of
that oiIice. He informed the coun-
ell that Mr.. Delaney had the copy
that the city clerk was entitled to.
on the motion, an argument arose
between Councilmen Delaney and
Disbrow% in which Councilman Dis
brow stated that he thought 1t
would save a lot of time and quab-
bling If the chairmen of the finance
committee turned over the copy ne
mad to the city clerk.
Councilman Delaney explained
that il was not so much the get
ting back that particular copy, as
IL was the way things were carried
on without authority. He added
that the city treasurer would receive
his copy in due time.
Under the rule of payment OF
bills, Councilman Disbrow and
Councilman Connors objected to two
particular bills. Councilman Dis
brow objected to a bill for bus
badges, purchased by the city clerk,
without his knowledge from Charles
d. Reese. He said as chairman of
that committee, he was not inform
ed of the purchase Of the badges,
and knew nothing OF them until he
heard the bills read.
City Clerk Peter J. Coakley, stated
in defense that he had according to
the terms of a recently passed bus
ordinance, which empowered him to
see that badges were given to
drivers. He stated that the ordinance
would go into effect the first of June
and he wanted to have them with
out delay. He added that the
ordinance was later changed giving
he power to the chief of police. and
that he in turn gave the badges
purchased to the acting chief of
police. The bill was ordered paid.
The bill that Councilman Connors
objected to was m for the new
motorcycle. amounting to s3S5.5O

FIND BODY OF MAN IN
WATER At CARTERET

CARTERET, May 31:-The body
of a man believed to be that of
Jacob Lapato, of Hastings, N. Y.
was found floating along the Kill
Won Kull shore by the local police
on Tuesday night. In his clothes the
police found a deposit book bearing
the name of the First National
Bank, of Hastings, and issued to
Jacob Lapato.
Coroner A. X. Hillpot after in
speeding the body gave permission
for it's burial. He believed that the
man was in the water for about
three weeks. The authorities at New
Brunswick believe him to be q boat
mar who probably fell overheard.
County Detective William Fitz-
patrick is communicating with the
Hastings authorities to learn
whether the body is that of Lapato.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-05-31

The councilman stated that he was
opposed to the purchase of the new
motorcycle on the same grounds
that he opposed the employment of
a motorcycle officer. He added that
the old motorcycle had been put
in good shape. at a cost to the city
of $50 and felt that that machine
could serve the needs as well as
the new cycle could. He decried the
fact that this city has two motor
cycles with a population of less than
eight thousand inhabitants.
Councilman Delaney stated that
the cycle was purchased on the ad-
vice of Mayor Chase, after the act
ing chief of police had requested a
new machine. The vote taken show
ed Councilmen Connors and Disbrow
voting no. on the payment, with
Tice, Republican, and Delaney and
Lovely, Democrats, voting the OPP
posite.
1t now looks as though Stockton
street viii be opened to Augusta
street, after so many years Of is
sue. At the request of the coun-
ell. City Solicitor Francis p. Coan,
and City Engineer a. T. McMichaels,
reported on their individual searches
with regard TO the property of Mrs.
Margaret O'Leary, necessary for the
opening Of the street.
The city solicitor advised that
condemnation proceedings be taken
AZ once. He suggested that the
mayors committee. act as the con-
domination commissioners.
In his report he made it clear that
Mrs. O'Leary would have to be
paid $1,000.
City Engineer McMichaels stated
IN his report that he had completed
preliminary and Typographical sur
veys Of the property, and found that
the 35 feet width or the street was
doubtful. according to the survey.
but added that il the old fence line
was taken as the line, by adverse
! possession the width could easily be
IS feet.
A resolution. giving power to the
city solicitor and engineer. to take
further steps toward acquiring the
I property, was offered. The reso-
luton called for condemnation pro-
ceedings. The resolution passed.

Chicago Produce Market

Chicago October 10.
With the United States visible sup
year ago and Canadian wheat arriving
at Minneapolis. the wheat market to-
day kept inside of narrow limits but
averaged lower in price. Final Quota
lions were unsettled at tqa to &c net
decline, December S1.OS to s1.0S@ 1888
and May 11o4 TO 1.123@t.
Corn closed unchanged to &c higher:
oats unchanged to &c lower. and pro-
visions Unchanged to lie up.
Although setbacks in the value of
wheat brought about considerable buy
ing by commission houses, the sup
port for the market showed less en-
ergy than has been the rule of late.
1t was noticeable that offerings in
creased on the bulges. and that gains
failed to last. This was especially
end of>thc day that the domestic Wis
ible supply had been enlarged !. 704, 900
bushels. making the total 65: 10000
bushels as against 33.411.000 bushels
last year. Meanwhile export demand
was inconseguential. and the Liver
pool market to &c lower.
Some selling of wheat here was due
to the heavy tone of northwestern
smarkets. a condition associated with
reports that five carloads of Canadian
paid. had been sold there at &c q
huShel less than December delivery of
domestic wheat. On the other hand.
reports continued to circulate that the
tariff commission and the interstate
commission still were studying posi-
bic measures for farm relief and that
the war finance corporation also was
being looked to for help.
Scarcity of corn needed for innme-
diate use rallied corn prices from a
decline brought about by favorable
weather. An increase of the visible
supply eascd the oats market.
Provisions We're responsive to the
firmness of corn and of cottonseed oil
