GiVenS Wife No. 2 Held
I'm Strange Love Case

MATAWAN, Jan. 3.-The second
episode in the matrimonial mixup of
Grover Edward Givens and wife No.
l, who was Miss Mabel Elizabeth
Fallon, of this borough. and wife
No, 2, who was Miss Grace Pool, of
Montclair, took place in Montclair
yesterday, when Detective Ernest }.
Zimmerman, on a warrant issued by
Justice of the Peace Joseph S. IL.
Scotland OF Newark. arrested Mrs.
Givens No. at her Montclair home.
Mrs. Givens No. 2, it is said, did
not know she was being arrested but
thought she was being taken to the
court house to help Mr.. Givens, the
we'll known saxophone player. who
was arrested Monday and held under
$4,000 bail on the charges of deser-
ton, abandonment and a more sc-t-
Gus one.
Following her arrest it is said that
Mrs. Givens No. declared that Mr..
Givens does not love his first wife
and that although he loved the baby
he does not care for its mother and
was roped into marrying her. Mrs.
Givens No. 2 is also alleged to have
said: II doH,t care for her either.
1 love Grover and I'd do anything to
save him. He can't leave me for we
love each other too much"
When informed of the above state
ment made by Mrs. Givens No. 2,
Perth Amboy evening news., 1924-01-03

Mrs. Givens No. replied that Mrs.
Givens No. was mistaken about the
facts in the case and that instead of
Mr.. Givens being roped into marry
Ing her, she married him much
against her parents wishes and only
after he had repeatedly requested
her to do SO. She said she has in
her possession a large number of
letters from Mr.. Givens, dating be-
fore and since her marriage. that
prove beyond all doubt that he did
love her. These letters will be intro
duced in the case when the time
comes, Mrs. Givens said at the home
of her parents here today, where
she is residing with her child,
People of this borough and other
sections of Monmouth County who
are acquainted with Mrs. Givens No.
l and also Mr.. Givens are awaiting
anxiously the results of the hearing
scheduled to take place on Saturday
morning In the court house in New
ark before Judge Scotland. 1t is
expected that startling testimony will
be brought out in the preliminary
hearings as we'll as when the case
GENES up for trial. Mrs. Givens says
the Pool woman married Givens
even in view of the fact that she had
heen warned Givens was married
man before she went through the
wedding ceremony with him.

terday's reorganization meetins,
County Chairman Edmund A. Hayes
declared today that it is not prob
able that any court action will be
taken with a view to forcing the

writ of mandamus could not be acted
upon within forty days and by that
time the recount should be COM
pleted and it will be definitely known
whether or not Kalteissen has been
elected.
Kalteissen would say nothing this
morning on his being ignored as a
yesterday but said he would have a
statement tomorrow.

TRUST COMPANY REPORTS
100000 IN RESOURCES

Over $S,000,000 in resources Is
the record with which the Perth
Amboy Trust Company closed bust
ness for the year ending 1928, show
Ing gain in every department. Some
idea of the wonderful advancement

81, 1928, showed deposits of $7,367.-
47S.68, a gain of $2,66S,673.S3 in de-
posits in one year. This represents
an increase in one year of over fifty
per cent. 1t is the expectation of
the officials to show $10,000.000 in
resources by July 1, 1924.
Governor George S. Silzer is the
chairman of the board of directors
and Isaac Alpern, president of this
institution. The employees are con-
sidered one of the banks greatest
assets. The Perth Amboy Trust
Company has shown a wonderful
growth under Mr.. Alpern's direction.
About year ago negotiations were
begun which finally resulted in the
consolidation OF the City National

CONGRESS BACK
FOR SESSIONS
Deadlock Still Exists Despite
Conferences Held During
Holiday Recess

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-With the
two week holiday recess over con-
gress went back to work today with
indications pointing to a busy i've
months before adjournment for the
national convention.
In the senate balloting for a
chairman of the Interstate COM
merce committee was the order after
the usual morning hour for the
transaction of business of routine
character. Despite holiday confer
ences, there appeared little pros
pect for a breaking of the dead
lock which developed soon after
congress convened month ago.
The House program called for a
day of oratory. Three members had
prepared addresses to deliver,
Representative Treadway, Repubn-
can, Massachusetts, on the anthracite
situation, Representative Upshaw,
Democrat, Georgia, on THE Majesty
of the Law and National Sobriety'
and Pedro Guevara, the new resi-
dent Philippine commissioner, on
Philippines independence.
Next week the House expects to
receive from committees the first OF
the important measures on whicn
it will be asked to act. This will be
the appropriation bill carrying funds
for the interior department for the
next fiscal year. The army and
navy and other supply bills will fol-
low.
The House ways and means COM
mittee had before it again today the
Mellon tax revision bill, but mem
bers said it would be another ten
days or two weeks before considera-
ton of the administrative provisions
of the measure could be completed.
Then will come the question of
whether a bonus bill is to be re-
ported. With that question settled,
the committee will be in position to
act on tax reduction recommended
by the treasury secretary, and Presi-
dent Coolidge
Ways and means committee
Democrats have begun a series of
conferences with Representative
Garrett of Tennessee the minority
leader, as to the Democratic policy
with regard to tax legislation. Min
ority leaders are not entirely satisfied
with the program which Mr.. Mellon
has presented in the tentative draft
bill now before the committee.

DIR. KOEHNE THRILLS MANY
At PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Declaring that he is afraid of two
things: that he may make his au-
dience angry and that he may not,
the Rev. John B. Koehns, d. d., LII.
D., charmed and thrilled his hearers
at the First Presbyterian church last
night in the first of a series of LEG
lures on the general theme. The
Reasonableness of Christianity.
Choosing the topic Authority in
Religion" DIR. Koehne, striking
straight from the shoulder. clearly
showed the fallacy of accepting
ones private judgment as authori-
tative, presenting exhaustive evil
dence to demonstrate the fact that a
minister of the gospel has the word
of God as authority and does not
rely on his own personal judgment
any more than docs the mathema-
tician, the physician, or the lawyer.
The lecturer answered the ques-
ton "Why is 1t so difficult to get
ideas or religion into some people"
by replying that Beethoven himself
could not play symphony on tin
pan.
DIR. Koehne is considered one of
the most eloquent pulpit orators In
America. This is rare privilege for
Perth Amboy, since there is no other
course of lectures like 1t before the
country.
There will be an address each
night, except Saturdays, at 500 p.
M, and at 1880 a. M, and 1880 p.
M, on Sundays.
No admission is charged.
