PREMIER BALDNIN'S CABINET
MEETING FOR FIRST TIME

LONDON. Nov. II (By The Assa-
ciated Press) An overcast sky
drizzling rain and mist marked the
first meeting at Downing street to-
day Of Prime Minister Baldwin's
cabinet which assembled to discuss
and TO frame the statement of policy
which viii appear in the kings adj
dress on the opening of parliament.
The drab wetness was to some ex-
tent offset by the Respondent attire
and silk hats which the members OF
the cabinet, almost without excep-
tion, wore for the occasion, presents
ing striking contrast to the every
day working attire adopted by the
members Of the cabinet OF the labor
government.
Most Of the ministers decided. for
today at any rate, to abandon their
motor cars and walked to No. 10,
shielding their top hats from the
downpour as well as they could with
umbrellas.

TAX MEASURE
PLANS MADE
Mellon and Coolidge Agree
Not to Be Made at
Short Session

WASHINGTON. Nov. 12-The
administration has no present inten-
tion of pressing for tax legislation
at the coming short session of con-
gress, it became known today, after
Secretary Mellon had conferred with
President Coolidge.
1t is understood Mr.. Mellon does
not consider it practical to take up
the problem at this session, because
of the lack of time. and in view of
other difficulties entering into the
situation.
Neither has the administration given
any consideration so far to the call
ing of special session of the new
congress after next March 4, to con-
slider tax reduction.
Administration officials feel it
would be rather futile to renew the
tax fight at the short session since
the problem has just been thrashed
out <nd the resulting law is just now
gQig into effect.
What congress itself may attempt,
without recommendation from the
administration, is another question.
Some elements in the senate and
House want immediate action, de-
spite the fact that the Republican
party leaders seem agreed with the
White House as to the inadvisability
of such a course. Others are press
ing for special session after March
4, and it remains to be developed
whether they will muster sufficient
strength to convince the President
that such a session should be called.
Unless Mr.. Coolidge issues a spe-
cial session call the new congress
will not meet until a year from the
coming December. Those who are
urging a special session point out
that the President declared after the
act of 1924 was perfected that he
favored another revision the earl
lest opportunity and they argue that
a delay until late in 1925 would not
carry out that program.
Mr.. Mellon conferred for more
than a half hour this morning with
the President. 1t is understood the
question of taxation was discussed in
some detail.
Hearing on Supply Measures
To give the coming session of
congress a running start on its ap-
preparation program, the House an
preparations committee began hear
ings today on the first of the annual
supply measures. Secretary Work
of the interior department was one
of the first witnesses to appear at
the opening hearing which was held
behind closed doors.
Chairman Madden hopes that
when the congressional session be-
gins on December /, several of the
appropriation bills will have passed
through the committee stage and be
ready for consideration on the
House floor.
The committee also took up today
the postoffice department supply bill.
Chairman Madden declined to esti-
mate what the total appropriations
would be for the next fiscal year, but
asserted they would be still lower
than those for this year which were
cut $30,9S3,878 under the previous
year. Total appropriations last year
were $3.7S4.123,324. of which ST.
399,051,075 was for the sinking fund,
public debt and other permanent
charges.

ROTARY HEARS
BOOSTER TALK
w. M. Weiant Tells Club
About Effort to Organize
Chamber of Commerce

William NJ. Weiant, president OF
the new Chamber of Commerce, was
the speaker at the Rotary Club meet
ing today to explain TO the members
the purposes and merits, not to men,
tion the need, of a Chamber of Com
merce in Perth Amboy. After setting
forth the needs of = Chamber OF
Commerce here Mr.. Ne:ant read a
number of letters that had been re-
ceived within the last week or two
addressedS to such an organization
asking for information about the city.
All of these, Mr.. Weiant said, are ig-
nored as have been numerous let
ters of this kind ever since the old
Chamber of Commerce ceased to
exist. Mr.. Weiant then gave an
earnest talk on the great possibilities
here, referring to all the big things
that are going on, but with no civic
organization to take an interest in
them. He urged the Rotary Club
10 get behind the effort to form a
Chamber of Commerce.
A question was raised about the
dues of $40 which was believed to be
too small to accomplish anything.
Mr.. Weiant explained that the SO
dues were but tentative, and were
iiiOA iO get the GA-ElllbtA VI eellAA1NA
than anything else. Once the cham
ber is formed the executive commit
tee will make UP a1budget fixing the
amount believed to be necessary 10
carry on the work as planned. Then
this amount would be raised among
the members in the form of assess
ments or dues, so that the more
members there are the less each
member would have to pay.
Rotary was convinced that a
Chamber OF Commerce was needed
here and Mr.. Weiant's remarks were
well received.
AS part of the boys work of the
Rotary club four members have vol
unteered to go to the Railway Re-
formatory every Thursday night and
conduct a class of ten boys each.
About fifty men are needed for this
work each week, and there are about
thirty-five who now go regularly to
the reformatory to instruct and be a
friend" to the group to which each
one is assigned. Woodbridge Rotary
sends four men each week, and it is
proposed to have four so from this
city. Volunteers were secured for
tomorrow night.

QUIZ GOVERNOR
ON HUNTING BAN
Up to Dept. of Conservation
Silzer Says in Perth Am
boy News Interview
NOT UNTIL WOODS SAFE
State Fire Warden Says Ban
Will Be Kept on for
the Present \

TRENTON, Nov. 12:-The lifting
of the bal on hunting in New Jersey
Is entirely up to the Department OF
Conservation and Development, ac-
cording TO a statement made by
Governor Silzer today.
When the opinion is given by State
Fire Warden Leonidas Coyle that the
woods of the state are safe from
forest fires, the word should be pass
ed to the Fish and Game Commits
sion, declared the governor, which
could then make hunting licenses
operative. The commission recently
declared hunting permits suspended
until the danger from forest fires is
over.
After comforting with fish and
game officials, Fire Warden Coyle
asserted that the ban syill r kept on
for the present. According to the
latest reports received here, the wet
weather prevailing over the southern
part of the state has passed and the
ground is rapidly clearing up.

The Herreshoff is well known to
the customs house men in this city,
having the reputation of being one
of the speediest and largest rum
runners in the business. Local Gus
toms men gave chase to the Herre-
shoff several months ago while il was
proceeding up Staten Island sound
without lights and forced it aground.
The members of the crew at the time
were arrested and fined. 1t Is under

The Herreshoff, according to Ia
formation secured at the local GUS

the close of the war many of these
small, speedy boats were sold al lon
prices and this boat was one Of those
snatched up by ready buyers. It was
converted into a pleasure yacht and
was moored in local waters for
considerable time before it started
its rum running operations.
Following the first capture of this

South Amboy Accident

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 12-Three
people were hurt in an accident,
caused by the heavy fog on the Par
lin road about $3.50 o'clock this
morning, when the light truck of
Ferdinand Tedesco, of Augusta
street. local contractor. was side
swiped by another truck owned by
the Jefferson Trucking Company OF
South River.
! The light truck, driven by Domi-
)nic Tedesco. was on Its way to Sayre-
Vile for supplies. A heavy fog hung
about the road. which made it diff
cult for drivers to see any great dis
tance ahead of them, and this is
given as the reason for the collision.
The Peterson truck was loaded
with brick and was on it's way to-
ward this city. Both trucks met at
the bottom of a hill and before the
driver of the heavy truck could pull
10 one side enough to escape hitting
the other machine. they crashed, the
light truck being side swiped and
sent into the ditch on the right side
of the road, where it turned over.
Besides the driver there were
three other occupants in the light
truck. Joseph Howley, twenty-one,
of Stockton street. who was sitting
along side the driver, was thrown
against the windshield when the
crash occurred and received several
bad cuts about the head and face
and a possible fracture Of the left
arm. He was attended by DIR. j. f.
Weber
The other injured persons were
Joseph Lagoda, eighteen, of Pine
avenue, and William Duggan, OF
Fifth street. Lagoda received a
kbroken right arm and a possible
Fracture of the right leg. He was
also cut about the face and head,
while Duggan received few slight
scratches and was badly shaken up.
Tedesco was not hurt.
According to Howley, one of the
occupants of the Tedesco truck. said
following the accident that the
heavy truck did not have any lights,
while the light truck did. The Te-
desco truck was badly damaged.
