STREET CAR STRIKERS
State CohstabuIary Charged at Al
IentOwn and Made Five Arrests.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, June 26.-The
streets of Allentown following the
strike of Lehigh Valley Transit com
pany conductors and mOtormen has
been thoroughly eowed by the pres
ence of Troop @, state constabulary,
with thirty four men, under Lieutenant
Smith.
The constabulary patrol the city's
main thoroughfare, keeping it clear
and keeping everybody moving. When
they rode up the street from the rail-
road station to the Fair grounds the
crowd gathered at the camp point,
numbering a thousand persons, hooted
and jeered them.
After a brief halt on the Fair
grouds Lieutenant Smith brought his
men down the street as though on pa
rade. When they reached the transit
company's transfer point, where many
people were congregated, the men
wheeled to the right and left and
charged the crowd off the street. With
in a few minutes several arrests were
made of men who hooted, and five men
were placed in Jail by the troopers.
The transit company took off all Its
cars, and all traffic is suspended.
The officials of the company decided
not to run cars last night, but today it
is intended, with the protection of
Lieutenant Smiths troop, to resume
operations in full.
BY order of the mayor all ss.loons
are closed.

DRUNKEN MAN SAID HE
KNEW THE MURDERERS

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 26:-
Prosecutor Berdine and Sherln
Church were hurried In an automo-
bile to Browntown Sunday because a
report had reached them that a man
had confessed that he knew who
committed the recent murders.
When the officials reached Brown
town they found the man still con-
Tossing things. He had personal
knowledge of the murder of Abel,
had helped to slaughter Charles the
First. and knew who hit Billy Patter-
son. The only thing he wouldn't
confess was the obvious fact that he
was gloriously and mendaciously
drunk. II

fall.
In 1904 Denmark sent to England

Local Liquor Dealers Are Deter.
mined to Close Up Tight July
3 When New Law Is In Force.

The saloons of this city will pre-
sent a lonesome appearance July 8
when the doors, both front and side,
will be locked, and the window cur
tains will be drawn aside so that
~passersby will be able to see the en-
tire inside of every barroom, with
the exception OF the hotels, which are
allowed to conceal the inside with
shades.
Many saloon keepers were inter
viewed yesterday by a NEWS repor-
ter, and the general sentiment is,
that all of them will obey the law
and Amboy will in realty have a
dry Sunday"
All of the proprietors seem to real
ize that they must give in to the in
evitable, 80 they are going to close.
Drug stores will probably have
many calls for liquor, but they are
also restricted to selling liquor only
on presentation of a Doctors certifi-
cate. Many liquor dealers want to
enforce the law to the limit with the
hope that the bishops law next year
will be repealed. The dry ones may
have to wait a year or more before
their objections could be used in an
effort to break up the present move
ment. The bartenders are elated that
they may have a day to themselves
every week. The saloon conducted
by Leo Schwartz, at High and Smith
streets, is said to be the only saloon
in Perth Amboy that is actually clos
ed on Sundays. Anyone may look
in this saloon and see for himself the
inside is free from patrons.

CAL0ERHEAD IS COMING
His Presence in Fifth District Evident
~ Necessary.

II understand Mr.. Calderhead is
coming home for d vacation; it is my
opinion that the people Of the Fifth dis
trict win vote to make it permanent p
This is the remark made yesterday
by John e. Hessin, former state sena-
tor from Riley county, who was in To-
peka Tuesday. MI. Hessin is the man
who started trouble for Calderhead by
announcing himself as a candidate for
congress.
1T is my opinion, said Mr. Hessin,
that we are going to beat Calderhead,
regardless of whether he has his con-
gressiOnal committee call convention
or a primary. If the committee calls
a convention, it VIII be necessary for
the various candidates who are oppos-
ing Calderhead to get together on
some one man before they can beat
him. And If they call a primary the
dates must get together on one man
before the time of the primary. L do
not believe there viii be any trouble in
making d combine against Calderhead.
I am willing to do my part to bring
about combine. 1t viii be no harder
to accomplish before a primary than it
would be during a convention
Mr.. Hessin is openly and frankly
candidate for congress- and says that
he is proud of the fact.
4 am going to go right after this
position said Mr.. Hessin, and my
platform shall be friendship for the
president I don't know how many
candidates will be in the race. I have
not heard that Mr. Kfmball of Salina
is to be a candidate. but [ hope that he
is. Kimban is a good man.
According to reports from Manhat-
tan, the Riley county central commit
tee met there Tuesday. afternoon. and
endorsed Hessin's candidacy. The vote
was to 6, and the Calderhead faction
made several efforts to adjourn the
meeting without action. Hessin' s
friends held together. however. and
controlled the meeting. Some hot
speeches We're made on both sides.

nesses who went to the place and bought
liquor for the specific purpose Of testi-
tying. Fred Jackson was one of the
defendants. With him sat a friend or
his named Fred Kirk The two look

until the middle of last December. The.
offense against Jackson and HaysiT was
charged to have been committed before
November "a When the special wit
nesses" gave their testimony, they got
confused as to whether it was Jackson
or the man sitting with him who had
made the sales. DR.. Campbell stated
that he thought 1t was Jackson, while
II. Is. Howard felt sure it was Kirk.
Just before the case went to the jury,
Gelen Nichols. attorney for the defense
put Kirk on the stand ard had him tes-
tify that he never had been in Topeka

had sold them the liquor. The old story
Of whether it was hop tea or beer was
