BOARD Of TRADE
TO Be FORMED
To Be Organized Sept. rs at
Meeting of Lions Club
City Wide Body

A Board of Trade will be formed
in this city at the meeting of the
Lions Club Thursday. Septembel
25. at the noontime luncheon of the
club at the New Packer House. This
was the action taken by the Lions
Club at the meeting today, at which
time members decided that Perth
Amboy needs an organizat ton of this
kind so much that 1t is unwlse to
wait any longer than that date for
it's formation.
Instead of TIE usual Lions Club
luncheon on that day. the luncheon
will be known as u Board of Trade
luncheon and all merchants and
professional men of the city are in
vited to attend. There is a possi-
bility that out of town speakers who
are acquainted with Board of Trade
work may be present to address the
meeting. The principal thing will
be however, to sign up memberships
to the organization and probably
elect temporary officers.
For some months the Lions Club
has been endeavoring to form a
Board of Trade in this city. and con-
siderable time of today's business
session of the club. was taken up in
discussing the matter. 1t was finally
decided that the matter could not be
allowed to hang over much longer
and so the club voted to complete
the organization on the above date.
Next week the club will meet at
IL o'clock at the New Packer House
and go in body on the inspection
trip about the waterways in this
section. which is being held by the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Associa-
ton, which will be in session at
Newark.
A report was received concerning
meeting OF the zoning committee
with similar committees from the
Rotary and Kiwanis clubs and of the
work so far acted upon. Another
conference is to be held after which
the committee will hand in It's re-
port.
A communication was received
from Adolph Greenbaum, who Is in
Europe. The letter stated among
other things that August Staudt,
president of the club who Is also in
Europe, is doing nuch toward es-
tablishing Lions clubs there.

STRICKER'S ORDERS, SAYS
RECORDER PICKERSGILL

Recorder Harold e. Pickersgill
when advised this morning that the
nine wear old Colfax street girl ar
.ested for damaging a monument IN
the Jewish cemetery, had been re-
fused by Jail Warden Blue at the
county Jail, made known that ne
has been working on orders of Prose-
cutor Joseph e. Stricken In this re-
spect.
Some time ago the recorder was
advised by the prosecutor that the
freeholders- had made accommoda-
ton for juveniles in the new county
jail, and that they could be sent up
at any time as long as the papers
in the case were sent along.
Policewoman Jensina Olesen and
Chauffeur Barney G.. Toolan took the
girl up yesterday morning, and the
warden refused to receive her, and
was backed up in his move by Coun-
ty Judge John j. Kirkpatrick. The
police department members were
advised to hold her until the day of
juvenile court.
The local recorder points out that
a child cannot be kept at the local
police station and that 1t Is imp pos-
sible to leave Juvenile offender out
of custody until the day OF Juvenile
court, FOR then they could never be
located.
Recorder Pickersgill makes it
plain that he has played his part in
this case and if the complainant
comes to his court in connection with
the matter, he will refer him to the
county authorities.
Just what action will be taken in
future juvenile cases, remains to be
seen.

UUohn Weiss, William II. Fraser, Ing
ward Greisen, Peter Jehanson, Will

min Goldberger, Louis Booz and a
guest.

New Brunswick boat will leave the
johnson and Johnson dock at 9:30
A. M, sharp, stopping at Sayreville,
and arrive at Perth Amboy about
11:2p A. N.
The steamer, after making the
cfar. fo,. Mid5Iacov Jalaoaffon
will sail down Raritan bay to a
point opposite Morgans to give the
visitors an opportunity to view the
terminus of the proposed ship
canal across the state. Then 1t will
proceed to the lower bay, through
the narrows and back to Port New
ark. reaching there about 3:45 p. M.

dent OF the Association. has prom
ised to have an interesting progra m

The boat from New Brunswick
will carry two large banners with
the names of the Raritan Terminal
and waterways ASSOCIATION painted
in large letters. The delegation
from Middlesex will wear a distinc-
tive ribbon badge so that when they
board the big steamer their identity

to Florida and they will realize
there is some interest in this part
of the state in the proposed ship
canal.

Clubs of New Brunswick. South

More Trouble for Firno

TRENTON, Sept. 11:-Under a
pond of $4,000 and an order of the
Court of Chancery, signed by Vice
Chancellor Fielder, Luis A. F'irpo is
required to answer a suit by Andrew
ID. MacCorkindale of Nutley for an
accounting involving receipts from
boxing bouts to which MacCorkin-
dale claims title by reason of his
position as manager.
1t was represented to the court
that Firpo intended to depart from
the United States after his fight
tonight with Wills in Jersey
City. MacCorkindale claims that in
February, 1922, Firpo entered into
an agreement for the former to be
his manager. The manager was to
receive rs per cent of the amount
earned from bouts. 25 per cent OF
the amount received by Firpo as J s
share of the moving picture privi-
leges and be reimbursed for prelim-
mary fight expenses.
Firpo Is accused of ditching Lis
manager of $1,000 training expenses
and receipts from matches with Sal
Tor Maxsted, Joe Mccain and Jack
Herman, amounting to $4,S25. When
Firpo returned to this country in
January, 1928, Mace orkindale says
he was ignored. Firpo's share of
the Wills-Firpo contest tonight is
estimated by the complainant as
100000. An accounting Is the only
means of obtaining an accurate esti-
mate Of what MacCorkindale is en-
titled to, the complaint recites.

All Barriers Cleared

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Sept. II (By
The Associated Press) While final
legal barriers put in the way of the
fight were being cleared, scenes
usually typical only of championship
ring battles were being enacted this
afternoon outside Boyle's Thirty
Acres, where Luis Firpo and Harry
Wills clash tonight.
The proverbial weather luck of
Tex Rickard. which has yet to fail
the promoter in any of his major
hstic ventures, again was in evil
dence. The day was bright and clear
without the slightest prospect of any
interruption tonight on the part of
the elements.
F1rpo and Wills were astir early.
Both had a good nights rest and
after light breakfasts took brisk
walks for limbering up purposes.
F1rpo with few of his handlers de-
parted before noon unostentatiously
from an uptown Manhattan apart
ment and crossed to this side of the
Hudson to await the formalities of
weighing in this afternoon. Wills
was given typical send-off by a
crowd of his own race as he left his
Harlem retreat in an automobile for
Jersey City.

Weeks Gives Statement

w Sept. IL cSL VI
defense plans scheduled for tomor-
row will be only "telescoped" pic
ture of what an actual war expan-
said today in a final statement ex-
planning the origin and purposes of
the defense project.
Actual mobilization, he added,
must of necessity be prolonged and
progressive process with the increase
of the army to its war footing pro-
ceeding in successive mobilization In
order of the regular army. national
guard and organized reserves. No
practicable way of conducting a test
of that nature could be devised, he
pointed out, and the one-day test in
which the preliminary operations OF
all three phases of the defense plan
should be consolidated for a stimuli
taneous partial tryout.
The war secretary said that II an
actual war emergency any attempt
at simultaneous mobilization would
be prohibited by shortage of equip
ment." He added that an actual
progressive mobilization cannot be
demonstrated in a day.
''It is desirable that the public
recognize" Mr.. Weeks said, "the
fact that any large expansion of our
skeleton forces must extend over a
period of months and that Fridays
demonstration will be te, scopo1 1 to
certain extent"
'The success of the defense test
will, of course, depend upon public
cooperation. The department be-
lieves that the test will prove our
expansion plans to be basically
sound and that it will reveal and
help to correct any defects that may
exist"
Colonial precedent for such a
movement as the defense test exist
ed, Mr.. Weeks said. as in Colonial
times" all able-bodied citizens on a
day set aside for the purpose, re-
ported with their rifles to the near
est village and drilled upcr. its com,
mons"
