TROUBLE POSSIBLE
Opening of South N Street
Ordered by Trustee
HoWarth.
WILL RAILROAD REBEL?

In compliance with the order of the
board of Wayne county commissioners
Trustee Haworth has officially noti-
fed the C. C. & L. officials that he
will begin the work OF opening South
N street on Monday morning next. The
railroad company has been notified
also to have lahorers and material
there to floor the tracks at the cross
ing that will result.
There has been some question as to
the power of the township to open up
a road across the right-of-way of the
company while its affairs are in the
hands of receiver appointed by the
federal court. Trustee Haworth has
been between two fires, the order ol
the county commissioners confronting
him on the one side and the implied
threat of writ for injunction on the
other. Whether the railroad will re
sist the action contemplated by the
trustee remains to be seen.

CUP PRESENTED
TO FRANKLIN MURPHY

Newark, Sept. 27:-At the meet
Ing of the state republican commit
| tee, to be held in Newark on Friday
or Saturday of this week, former
Governor Murphy will be presented
| by his fellow members of the COM
mittee with a loving cup. The pre-
sentation will be made whether ne
| retires from the chairmansh1p or
the committee or retains 1t. The
members feel that some permanent
recognition Is due MIR. Murphy for
his long and successful republican
leadership, and it has taken the
loving-cup form. United States Sen
ator John Kean will make the pre-
sentation speech.
The idea of making the present
| originated with Hamilton Kean, of
Elizabeth. who for several years
was the chairman of the Union
county republican committee, and
| who has long been the member OF
| the state committee from that coun-
ty.
1t is pretty well understood that
| the decision of MI. Murphy to retire
from the head of the state commit
tee is final, although former Cover
nor Stokes and q number OF equally
as prominent republicans have en-
l~deavored to persuade him to recon
slider 1t.
II is, therefore, almost certain
that United States Senator Briggs
will succeed Mr.. Murphy. In any
event, Winton C. Garrison will be
retained as the treasurer and Ed
ward w. Gray as the secretary OF
the committee.

state senators and assemblymen OF
both the republican and democratic
parties will also be on hand, as will
Democratic State Chairman James

man who is now In the public eye,
politically, or who has been In recent

will be a bigger and better Cover

gatherings OF that kind which used
to be the feature of the whole week
at the famous Waverly Fair of a few
years ago. On the same day there
will be an exceptionally good card
of running, trotting and pacing
races on the half-mile track. and
the thrilling amusement stunts In
the open space in front of the grand
stand and within the track circle
will be greater than anything ever
attempted in New Jersey.

different stations in life prevent him
from declaring his love-. When the es-

asks for he11hand, and although she at

shirt, black felt hat, black oxfords and
a dark coat. But his face displays a
character of little training. Stakaway
appeared refined, but Haremza' s face is
coarse and hard.
One point in his favor, however, is
the fact that he carried no revolver
when arrested. Stakaway, it will be re-
membered, possessed a long target re-
volver and had sharpened his bullets
that they might have greater effect.
Haremza, from his admission to the po-
lice last night at times has carried a
weapon, but he was fortunately not
possessed of one last night.
A great load has been lifted from
the minds Of the police who patrol beats
in North Amboy. HaremZa has threat
tened, according to his intended vic
Tins to shoot the first man attempting
his capture. For some reason, the gang
had a grundge against Gutowski,f and
threatened to kill him some dark night.
Sunday night Patrolman Gutowski met
him on the Hall avenue bridge, but the
bandit escaped. Several times, he has
almost caught him, but each time he
managed to escape.
Haremza has said little since his ar
rest. 1t is expected, however, that he
will confess and disclose the where
abouts of the articles stolen in the three
months Of his active career.
