Plans Now Being Drawn
To Be Largest Here

After years of waiting, Perth Am
boy will at last be put on the map
theatrically, according to an an
nouncement made this morning by
Max Goldman, president of the
Perth Amboy Beef Company. At the
present time plans sre being drawn
up by c. A. Sandblom. the famous
architect, of New York City, for the
building of two magnificent theatres
in this city.
Samuel Lesselbaum, vice-presi-
{ dent of the Premier Circuit, of
Brooklyn, which controls six large
picture and vaudeville theatres, was
here recently and made an extern
sive survey of the city's needs in the
line of theatres. Mr.. Lesselbaum
will be in charge of the construction
and other details of the new thea
tres.
According to the plans of the two
theatres. one will have a seating
capacity of $500, while the other will
seat 1900. The amount of seats in
the two theatres gives a good idea
of the size of the buildings, as. at the
present time there Is not a theatre
in the city with a seating capacity Of
| over 1000.

show, will be built at the corner of
Fayette and Division streets, the
property next to the Perth Amboy
Beef Company building. The other
show house will be built in some
other section of the city. The land
for the latter theatre has been ac-
quired, but the exact location will
not be announced until a later date.
Mr.. Lesselbaum announces that
the house at the corner of Fayette
and Division streets will be the last
word in theatrical construction. Tho
plans show four large stores, a good
sized lobby and a stage large enough
to accommodate the larger road
shows. The entire building will be
of fireproof construction and Will
cost 100000, it is claimed
The smaller theatre will be built
along stadium type lines, and. al
though the building will be mag
nificent structure, it will not be so
costly as the one at Fayette and
Division streets.
With the completion of these two
new theatres, the people of this city
and vicinity will get the benefits. At
the present time there is not thea
ire in the city large enough to put
on a real big performance. it is
claimed. but with the opening of the
two new show houses. some of the
largest New York shows will be
brought to this city.
Mr.. Sandblom. the architect on
the two buildings. is finishing up
the work on the plans and as soon
as arrangements can be made, ac-
tive work on construction will be
started. The new enterprise will be
financed by Max Goldman, president

StOrk, Aided BY Radio,
Brings Clad News To
Anxious Light Keeper
w O R Kindly Broadcasts
News to Drummer of Baby
Girl at Hospital

The radio was put to a new use
last night according to the announce
ment made this morning when the
birth of child in the Perth Amboy
city hospital was broadcast to- the
father. who was waiting patiently out
at the Great Beds Light in Raritan
Bay, for word from the stork which
had been lowering over his abode.
Emil Brunner is the keeper of the
lighthouse far out in Raritan Bay
and when his wife gave birth to a
baby girl at the hospital about 1880
o'clock last night, Mrs. Brunner was
anxious that her husband should get
the news. A telephone message was
relayed to L. Bamberger and Com
pany in Newark from the hospital
and the message was put on the air
from WOR, the official station of
that concern in Newark. Drummer,
seated in his Office at the lighthouse
promptly received the message and
according to mariners and others
making their way up to the bay to
this port last night the light in the
lighthouse seemed to burn brighter
than ever before after the word had
been flashed to him.
Brunner came ashore this morn
Ing and Joined his family at the hos
pital. Mother and child are doing
nicely was the word given out at the
hospital and now Drummer is making
preparations for a big celebration in
honor of the event. The naming of
the baby is now one of the greatest
problems. Brunner does not know
whether to name the baby Radio
light, or for Marconi, the great
Italian inventor of the wireless tele-
graphy. There is going to be a
christening and then all will know
what the baby is to be called in after
life.
DIR. Charles w. Naulty. Jr.. was
the attending physician in the case
and was through HIM and the nurses
at the hospital that the scheme was
devised by which Drummer could get
the news of the arrival of a daugh
ter. There was no way of getting TO
the light at that hour and the means
of the radio was then put into effect.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-Ameri-
canization of the giant dirigible
ZR-3 the last of the historic line of
German Zeppelins-was completed
today in a setting symbolical of the
peaceful ways she is to follow.
The 1utter of white pigeons re-
leased by the hand Of Mrs. Calvin
Coolidge and the rush aloft of q
myriad of bright toy balloons were
the chosen outward signs of the big
cruisers rechristening as the Amer
lean ship Los Angeles" All the
high officials of the gos1~nment and
many ENJOYS from other lands gath
cred at Boiling Field for the cere-
mony.
Only a hint of the military was
permitted to enter into the exer-
cises shearing away the mystical ZR
designation so reminiscent of the
war. The martial touch was finished
to a national salute of twenty
guns from a nearby battery. and the
playing of the Star Spangled Banner
by a navy band.
The Los Angeles is designed for
nom military purposes only: but her
precise duties remain to be deter
mined and she remains tor the time
being in the keeping of the navy,
1 which received her from her Ger
man builders after her flight across
the Atlantic.
Riding the air for the first time
with an American crew, the glisten-
ing flier was brought to Washing
ton from Lakehurst under perfect
behavior. She arrived over the city
at 1850 p. NJ, and before descend
ing for the christening. circled grace
fully above the White House, the
capitol and the towering Washing
ton monument, her long grey body
outlined sharply against canopy
of fleecy white clouds. All of the
morning had been overcast, but just
before the cruiser made her appear
ance overhead the sun broke
through to brighten her welcome.
Business in government depart
ments virtually stopped as cabinet
onicials, senators and thousands IN
the humber walks of public service
craned their necks for a look at the
nations new monster or the ar.
The actual christening ceremonies,
as planned at the navy department
were brief. The name Los Angeles
and the insignia had been placed on
the ship at Lakehurst; her crew had
been drilled for the occasion, ana
onlv the time-honored custom re-
mained to be carried out.

RABBIT BLOOD,

Clue in Furnace Death May
Go for Naught-Seek
New Trail

COLUMBUS. O.. Nov. 25-Mrs. ..
V. Sheatsley. wife of the pastor of
the Christ Evangelical Lutheran
church of BeXley. appeared to be in a
normal frame of mind last Monday
noon. County Prosecutor John r.
King was told at LIthopolis, a viii
lage south of here. today by Mrs.
Gladys Redelphs. wife of Rev. Har-
ry Redelphs Of the village. Mrs.
Redelphs visited the Sheatsley home
last Monday and was one of the
few persons who last saw the minis
ter's wife alive.
Mr.. King went to Lithopolis to-
day hoping that Mrs. Redelphs might
have some information that would
help him in solving the mystery of
the finding of Mrs. Sheatsley's body
in the furnace of her home last
Monday evening. He announced that
nothing definite had developed.
Mrs. Redelphs said she delivered
Christmas cards to Mrs. Sheatsley,
which the latter had ordered two
weeks before. She said she arrived
at the Sheatsley home about noon
and that she was admitted at the
door by Alice, the 13-year-old daugh-
ter. Clarence, 16-year-old son, the
first one. acc,rdinG to testimony, to
find something strange in the fur
mace, and Mr.. Sheatsley, Mrs. Re-
delphs told King, were examining the
morning mail. Mrs. Sheatsley was
in the kitchen preparing lunch.
After a short talk with Mrs.
Sheatsley, Mrs Redelphs said, she
left, after having declined an invita-
tion to remain for lunch. She said
she did not know what Mrs. Sheats-
ley was getting for the meal.
Mr.. King found at L!thopolis that
Mr.. Sheatsley, with President Otto
Mees, of Capital University here, and
other men, were hunting in that sec
ton the Saturday preceding the find
ing of Mrs. Sheatsley's body in the
furnace, and that they obtained sew
eral rabbits.
Mr.. Sheatsley, in a statement at
Canton, today, said that the reddish
stains, which were found by King
and his investigators in various
places in the Sheatsley home yester-
day, and which will be analyzed to
determine whether or not they are
human blood, asserted that the
stains probably were made by him
while dressing rabbits which he had
obtained on the Saturday excursion.
II returned from a hunting trip
on the Saturday before the affair and
carried four rabbits down the steps
where the stains were found, into the
cellar and dressed them near the fur
nace," said Mr.. Sheatsley's statement.
A pair of trousers also found yes
terday and which contained stains,
Mr.. Sheatsley declared, were the ones
that he had worn while on the hunt
ing trip and probably, he said, had
been marked by rabbit blood.
On his RETURN here, King took
under advisement a move to exhume
the body of Mrs. Sheatsley. in order
that DR.. II. NJ. Brundage, path
ologist who is working on the case,
may examine the skull for signs of
fracture. At a conference last night
between county authorities and Ed
win Abbott, local undertaken, who
removed Mrs. Sheatsley's remains
from the furnace. Abbott said that
he thought a portion of Mrs. Sheats-
ley's skull had been broken. He
indicated. however, that this might
have been caused by the intense heat
of the furnace

loading plant, while the other was
the resolution adopting the improve
ment of the present road through
