TELLS or COPPER INDUSTRY

Emil Kurowsky. of the research
department of the Raritan Copper
Works. was the speaker at the reg
ular weekly luncheon of the Lions
Club yesterday, noon<lme in the New
Packer House. Mr.. Kurowsky dis
cussed the copper situation of the
country and declared that the copper
industry has produced over 100000
tons of copper all of which has about
been used in the United States.
He said the tendency is to build
plants nearer the mines instead of
along tide water, because of the in
creased demand for copper In the
Central West. He stated that the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany probably has the finest location
of any copper plant in the country at
Baltimore, where there is excellent
shipping facilities both by water and
rail and a good labor market, espe-
cially for colored labor.
William Fraser was the chairman
of the meeting.

City Clerk Gets Notice to
Issue No More Permits
Until Further Notice

TRENTON, Nov. 7:-Hunting
licenses, except to shoot wildfowl on
the salt marshes, are suspended. by
order of Governor Silzer, and the
State Fish and Game Commission,
until the woodlands are less subject
to the danger of forest fires. The
Injunction is contained in a procla-
nation signed by Governor Silzer
last night.
By direction and authority of the
governor, the Fish and Game Com
mission hereby suspends all licenses
under which the holder thereof is
entitled to hunt, and which licenses
have already been issued, or may be
issued before this order reaches the
issuing authorities, except licenses to
hunt wild water fowl on the salt
marshes. said Secretary Walter H.
Fell of the Fish and Game Board.
Such licenses are suspended until
further notice in the interests of the
preservation of the property of the
state and the inhabitants thereof,
and the holders thereof may ascer-
tain from the respective municipal
clerks when the said licenses are
again in force. All those who violate
the fish and game laws will be pros
ecuted. 1t is hoped that all gunners
will cooperate with the state depart
ment in this emergency. A license is
merely a privilege which the state
has the right to withdraw at any
time, and any plea that the gunner
does not know that this license is
suspended will not avail him as
defense"
Governor Silzer's proclamation, af-
ter reviewing the danger of forest
fires and the invasion of the wood
lands November 10 by 10000 hunt
ers, said:
Now, therefore, I, George S.
Silzer, as governor of the State, do
hereby authorize and direct the Fish
and Game Commission to revoke or
suspend all licenses for hunting
which have already been issued and
to prevent the issuing of further
licenses until such time as the Fish
and Game Commission may be ad-
vfsed by the Department of Conser-
walton and Development and the
governor that the present emergency
has passed, excepting only licenses
to hunt wildfowl on the salt marsh

MAYORS PROCLAMATION
FOR ARMISTICE DAY

THE armistice which ended
hostiIities in the World War was
signed ON November II, 1918.
Next Tuesday will be the sixth
anniversary of that event and 1t
is altogether fitting and proper
that the people of Perth AmbOy
register in some way their ap-
probation of the sacrifices made
and the duty performed by the
young manhood of this country
In the greatest of wars.
s'It is too easy to forget the
sufferings caused by the war, the
grfeving relatives who will never
again have the companionship
and the assistance OF loved ones
who fell on the field OF battle
and the manned Soldiers who
were permanently disabled dur
ing the terrific struggle and are
now spending the rest of their
days in hospitals.
1.-THE least that we can do is
to cooperate with the service
mems organizations In helping to
observe, as they see fit, the anni-
yersary of the closing Of the war.
"As mayor of this city, 1 there
fore sincerely urge every indi-
yidual, concern, society, organi-
zation and industry to enter into
the spirit of the day and help to
make this observation OF ARM
fstice Day an impressive one.

CONSIDER PLAN
FOR CONGRESS
Republican Senate Leaders
Confer with President on
Legislative Matters

WASHINGTON. Nov. 7--Republi-
can senate leaders, VINO conferred
today with President Coolidge reach
ed the conclusion that it was highly
improbable that the President would
call the new congress into an extra
session after next March 4.
The President turned his atten-
ton today to the legislative program
and discussed plans for the coming
short session of congress, with Sena-
tors Curtis of Kansas, Republican
whip, and Morse. Republican, of
N%- Hampshire. Both were OF the
opinion that the nation did not want
an extra session and only the nee
essity of emergency legislation would
lead the President to call the new
congress before its regular meeting
time, year from this December.
While Mr.. Coolidge has indicated
he would press for tax reduction.
many congressional readers have ex-
pressed the. opinion that it would be
difficult to get through tax legisla-
ton in the short session with a con-
gress that has Just fought out its
differences on tax reform.
Senator Moses expressed the belief
that farm legislation also could wait
until the facts on agricultural con-
ditions could be definitely determin-
ed by the commission proposed by
President Coolidge. 1t is unlikely,
Senator Moses said, that this inyes-
tigation can be completed and re-
ports drawn until late next year.
After the regular semi-weekly
meeting of the cabinet. the first since
election Mr.. Coolidge had an engage
ment with Director Lord of the bud
get to go over the estimates for
next years appropriations for gov
ernment departments.
The budget figures are nearing
completion and will be among the
principal items taken up for con-
sideration by congress in December.
What other proposals will be SUBJ
mitted by the President have not
been determined. although farm re-
lief is expected to be given especial
consideration after the investigation
of farming condtons he expects to
institute soon.
Congratulatory messages continued
to pour into the White House today
from all sections of the world, and
several callers bearing similar mes
sages also were on the Presidents
calling list.

SENATE MAY DECIDE
FATE OF BROOKHART

DES MONIES. Iowa, Nov. 7 (By
The Associated Press)-The United
States senate may decide whether
Senator Smith w. Brookhart. junior
Iowa senator, or his Democratic op-
ponent, Daniel f. Steck, shall uccupy
the seat held for two years by SEN
ator Brookhart.
This was indicated today by prep
arations being made by Democratic
leaders and the secretary of state
to preserve for a possible contest in
the senate all ballots counted and
many that were discarded by the
election judes.
Mr.. Steck had not definitely an
nounced that he would challenge
Senator Brookhart's majority which
unofficially stands at 1,116, but Clyde
l.. Herring, Democratic national
chairman, advised the state executive
council that a recount would be re-
quested and that all precautions nee
essary to an accurate review of the
election by the senate should be
taken.
Senator Brookhart said he did not
expect a reversal of the unofficial re-
suit either by the official canvass
which begins Monday, or by pos
sible recount in the senate.
"My information from nearly all
parts of the state" said the senator,
lis that my majority will increase
when the canvass is made. I think
1t will be good deal bigger than the
unofficial returns indicate
The latitude of the senate in re-
count matters and the possibility that
that body might not be bound to fol-
low to the letter of the Iowa election
laws afforded ground for much specu-
lation among Iowa politicians. Some
held the opinion that numerous bal
lots thrown out because of identifi-
cation marks might be accepted by
the senate on the grounds that the
intent of the voter was clear. despite
allure strictly to comply with the
state law.

To Issue No Permits

City Clerk Philip Costello has re-
ceived instructions from the state
department to issue no more hunt
Ing licenses until further notice as
a result of the ban placed on all
hunting in New Jersey this fall ow-
ing to the extremely dry condition
of the woods. All the 1924 cunning
licenses issued to date are also sus-
pended until the existing ban on
hunting is lifted. The numerous
forest fires throughout the state and
the dangerous condition of the woods
resulting from continued dry wealth
er has caused this drastic action to
be taken.
