Strand Attraction

A woman sacrificed upon the altar
of mans selfish ambitions. This is
the central theme of ISLANDER the
Woman" Allen Holubar's new First
National super-production with Dor
othy Phillips in the stellar role,
which will be shown at Strand The
atre for three days, beginning today.
In this latest screen triumph Di-
rector Holubar has shown that
wealth and social position are noth-
ing compared to the fair name of a
woman. In the poignant, soul-stir-
ring manner characteristic of all his
work, Director Holubar shows how
circumstances are twisted by an am
bilious judge to secure his rise
in the world, and how in so doing
he robs a woman of her most sacred
heritage fair name.
There is no false sentimentality
about ISLANDER the Woman" It IS
a drama of the present day, based
upon actual life. The story of the
play IS laid IN Canada. a woman,
Yvonne Desmarest, portrayed by
Dorothy Phillips, becomes involved
In a murder through no fault of her
own. At the trial Judge Duroacher
presides. He is a candidate at the
forthcoming parliamentary election
and he sees in the trial an opportun-
ity to win popularity through brand
ing Mile. Desmarest as the other
woman" The widow of the man
killed is acquitted of the crime. and
Yvonne IS socially o%stracized. With
stirring effect the story tells how
Yvonne makes a winning fight for
Justice.

THEATRES
At The Crescent

There are six married couples rep
resented in the cast of rs Matri-
mony a Failure 2" the new Para
mount special comedy, directed by
James Cruze which is now playing
at the Crescent Theatre.
As suggested by the title, this is a
comedy of matrimonial errors and al
though the picture presents and dis
cusses in a highly humorous vein,
the question, it doesn't attempt to
answer it, but closes, as it begins,
with a large interrogation point.
The six families are played by the
following well-known screen artists:
T. Roy Barnes and Lii Lee, Lois
Wilson and Walter HERS. ZaSu Pitts
and Arthur Hoyt, Lillian Creighton
and Tully Marshall, Sylvia Ashton
and Otis Harlan and Charles Ogle
and Ethel Wales. In addition to
these there are several other impor-
tant characters, which make this
cast one of the largest assemblages
of screen luminaries v seen.
The stage success THE Open Door"
was the basis for this new comedy.
which vas scenarized by Walter

CUNO'S SPEECH HAS BUT
LITTLE EFFECT IN ENGLAND.

LONDON, Aug. 3 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) - Chancellor Cuno's
speech in the 5Reichstag yesterday
seemingly has had little effect in
England where the dominant opin-
ion expressed by those in authority
is that the importance of German
government utterances is approach
ing the vanishing point so far as the
actual effects are concerned. The
most welcome part of the speech
was the Chancelior's admission that
the German government had nothing
tt expect from Great Britain in the
way of sympathy or assistance. It
is hoped this will mollify the French,
who had been insisting that the
present British policy is serving only
to strengthen Germany's resistance
in the Ruhr and elsewhere.
The Cabinet met again this morn
ing n continued to formulate an
nswer to the French and Belgian
notes which contained a virtual re-
lection of the British draft note to
Germany. Great Britain will not as
yet admit the impossibility of bring
ing the Allies into accord for a joint
reply to Germany's latest PREPARATION
offer. it appears from current utter
ances in political quarters.
No definite announcement of Britt
ish policy is expected until after the
government has had an opportunity
to gauge public opinion after 49,
publication of the documents ap
tanning to the recent allied nego~
tions. The making public of these
documents will probably be delayed
until next week.

MONSTER CROWD GOES
ON K. OF C. OUTING

With a crowd of about 5000 on
board the annual excursion of the
knights of Columbus with st Mary'S
Parish got away from the city dock
about 9:45 o'clock this morning for
the sail up the Hudson and stop t
Palisade Park on the way down the
river this afternoon. The excursion
LETT this city under the most favor
able circumstances with a clear sky
and gentle breezes blowing on the
water that will make one of the best
days for an outing this summer.
When the steamer Grand Republic
cleared from the dock she was given
a royal send off by salutes from al!
crafts and the various plants along
the shore. The sail was up the
Staten Island sound through Kill
Won Kull out into New York bay
and up the Hudson as far as larry
town.
On the way down the river the
stop will be made at Palisades Park
for several hours and the excursion
is expected to return tonight about
8 o'clock. 1t was a merry crowd that
left on the trip this morning. Grand
knight John V. Burke, chairman of
the arrangements with his commit
tee, were at the dock early this
morning and they were everywhere
in evidence to look after the COM
fort of all IN board. Refreshments
of all kinds were placed on the boat
and arrangements were made by the
committee before the boat left TO
order more so that no one would
go short of eats on the tlip There
is dancing on the boat and the music
is being furnished by Professor Fred
O'Brien's orchestra.

RAILROAD TRAINMEN TO
DISCUSS COMPENSATION

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 9.-(By
The Associated Press)-ApproXl4
mately 125 general chairmen of the
Eastern Association of General Char
men of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and the Order of Railway
Conductors on Eastern Trunk line
Railroads met here this morning to
consider the question of increased
compensation. This is tho third n
final meeting of the general chair
men of the two organizations on the
increased wage question, previous
meetings having been held by the
Western Association in Chicago on
July 10 and by the Southern Asso-
citation in Washington on July "a.
The Chicago meeting went on re-
cord for a restoration of the s cents
an hour or GA cents a day reduction
ordered by the u. S. Railroad Labor
Board ON July l, 1921. which has
been in effect since that time, and in
addition requested a small additional
increase, it is understood.
The Washington meeting concur
red in the action taken by the West
ern Association, it was learned here
today, and it is believed that the two
day conference here will ratify the
action of the two previous meetings.
The wage question action of the
three sectional meetings will be sub
mitted TO a referendum vote of the
approximately 200, 900 members of
the trainmen and the $4,000 mem
bers of the conductors organization
at once.

CRIPPLED CHILDREN TO Be
TREATED AT NEWARK

Cripples in this city, who had
drifted away from the practice of
going to Newark hospitals with Mrs.
Isabel Gould of the local Red Cross,
were met by Mrs. Gould for the first
time in a long period during the
outing of the Elks to Asbury Park
on Monday.
As a result of the reunion, Mrs.
Gould has planned a trip to New
ark tomorrow for one automobile
load of cripples who had not receiv-
ed attention in some time. 1t is
probably that one trip a week will
be made from this week on.
Mrs. Gould was invited to attend
the Elks affair on Monday to help
take care of the Riddles and uneX-
pectedly net a large number of her
former charges. The Elks will take
of transportation for the week
ly trips to the Newark hospitals.

store where you can buy anything
under the sun, or get into an argu-
ment instanter.
Barefoot urchins and their elders
in overalls perch like birds on the
wooden fence that bars the crowd
from the velvety lawn of the court
house. The stile is guarded, and you
must have a pass from Judge B. d.
White or from King Adams, eighty
year-old sheriff.
There are many queer angles to
this melodrama of a Virginia village.
Bob Garrett is clerk of the court
trying him for murder, and Larkin
Garrett is chancellor in chancery.
A temporary clerk of courts was
brought from Powhatan county, and
a judge from Princess Ann county.
Politics and family ties make a
tangled skein running through the
machinery of the law. The CARROTS
walk about among the deputies and
detectives and policemen, and half
the gathered countryside greets
them with handshakes and smiles,
and the other half stares at them
silently, with grim lips.
Vigilant officers, tense and watch
full in this strange scene to which
they have been transplanted, slap
pistol pockets unfortunately at the
courthouse steps. Few guns have
been found, though-or corn liquor
either-for careful persons park
both at the little hotel, where seven
rooms bulge with lawyers and parti-
san spectators.
There is an armistice for the mo-
ment in the smoldering feud of Cum
berland county. You observe 1t best
in the string of idlers sitting on the
wooden fence-perched there like
birds before the storm, waiting for
the breathless thing that may come.

FIRE DAMAGE At NEWARK

NEWARK. Aug. 9.-Nany famil-
les were driven to the street in night
attire and forty automobiles burned
in a fire which destroyed the Mott
garage at 38-44 Providence street
early today. The damage was esti-

he heard a rumbling and found a
iitney bus, which shortly before 2:30
A. NJ. had been driven in, in a mass
of flames. The fire had gotten tre-
mendous Roadway when the firemen
arrived, and gave them a hard bat
tie, saving surrounding wooden
dwelling houses. Police ran through
the section arousing sleeping ten
ants and aiding their escape.

DIED To SAVE
BABY'S LIFE
Investigation of FordS Acct
dent Shows William Moore
Died to Save His Child

FORDS, Aug. Civilian Moore,
of Ford avenue. who was instantly
killed when his touring car turned
over a clay bank and into the gulley
on Upper Main street Tuesday night,
gave his life to save his two-year-
old baby Virginia. This was dis
closed this morning by authorities
who lifted the body of Moore from
beneath the automobile. Behind his
legs they found his child cuddled up.
As told by Moore's relatives this
morning he sacrificed his life for the
child he so loved. When he saw
himself at the gates of death, crying
to the others to hold on, he grabbed
the child who was sitting on the
front seat with him, covered her
with his legs, thus saving her life.
Moore's body was almost severed in
half at his waistline, his legs were
broken at several places, his hands
were broken and so was his neck.
He might have been saved from
death had he not doubled himself
UP to save the child.
Moore is survived beside his wife,
Agnes, and two daughters, Viola and
Virginia, by his mother, Mrs. Henry
Sneckenberg, of Perth Amboy; a
sister, Mrs. john RamDerg, Oh Pertn
Amboy; two brothers, Richard c.
Moore of Perth Amboy, and Charles
Moore of Fords. Funeral services
will be held from the late home of
the deceased on Ford venue on
Saturday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock.
No definite announcement as to in
torment has been made.
The cause of the fatal accident
which killed Moore and saved his
family was due to a glaring head
light of an approaching machine
and the failure to dim the other
cars light particularly after Moore
had dimmed his headlights when he
saw the machine approaching.
The clay bank over which the
Moore car turned over is not the
property of the Valentines as men
toned in the Evening News. The
Valentine Company denied that 1t
belonged to them. although the
Woodbridge police in reporting the
accident was of the opinion that it
was a Valentine embankment. 1t
could not be as~certained which of
the clay companies operating in that
district holds the ownership.

DRY GOODS STANDS GIVE
BLACK EYE" TO MARKET
tContinued from page II

The STANDS offer a great variety
OF cheap goods, appealing mostly to
the foreign element who buy in
large quantities, especially of the
dress goods materials which can be
purchased by The yard. Bolt after
bolt of various colored and designed
dress goods are sold by the persons
in charge of these stands.
Complaints are heard from store
keepers in town who carry a line
Of goods Similar to that offered for
Safe at the'market u the city seems
powerless to prevent these sales as
tho vendors. as far as can be learned
are not violating the law. If they
attempted to open stands on city
property or property leased by the
city the merchandise dealers could
be busted but with their stands on
private property it seems that they
cannot be stopped.
The dropping off of the number of
farmers attending the market, which
at present is about forty-five less
than last year, ma be caused partly
by the presence of these stands.
Another reason is the presence of
hucksters, almost forty of them. in
the market on the same days as the
farmers. For the first time in sew
eral years the receipts this year, COL
lected from those farmers and buck
sters attending the market at a rate
of twenty-five cents per market day,
are not exceeding the year previous.
In fact. the proceeds from the mar
ket fees this year Will be several
hundred dollars less than last year
if the decreasing attendance of farm
ers continues. The hucksters attend
regularly.

Markets Henry loft last yea to-
tailed s4.O92.75, this being the
largest amount taken in since tho

steady increase in the amount o.
money derived by the city from the

past five years up until this wear
