SOUTH AMB0Y
ROBBERS ARE
SOON CAUGHT
s,sosa, to the EVENING JEWS.


South Amboy, Nov. 25:-On
Wednesday morning when stephen
Clauer, OF Bergen Hill. opened his
barber shop he found that some one
had broken a glass 6 by "a and en-
tered his shop and taken his razors,
clippers, a shaving cup, a lot of hair
tonic, perfumery, etc. He notified
Chief Mcdonnell, who Immediately
got busy In trying to locate two per-
sonages who were In Clauer's place
on the previous evening and were
put out of the place by Clauer. One
of these personages was of such a
reputation as would naturally cause
him to be suspected and as he was
absent from town the chief naturally
supposed that he had gone over the
river to dispose of the stolen articles.
He dispatched officer Gleason to
Perth Amboy, thinking he might To-
cate the party and secure convicting
evidence.
In the meantime Chief Mcdonnell
was not idle, but started on a hunt
for the stolen articles and while
securing the small piece of woods
near st. Mary's cemetery he saw one
of the parties, Dennis O'Brien, whom
he was looking for. He Immediately
concealed himself in such a manner
that he had a fair view of O'Brien's
movements and was soon convinced
that the stolen articles had been
hidden in that locality, but that
| O'Brien had lost his reckoning and
at the present time was unable to
locate them. The chief placed him
under arrest and told him he would
help him to look up the stolen arti-
cles. O'Brien said he had not stolen
anything, that Martin Miles had
done the deed, but that he knew
where the loot was hidden, but on
taking the chief to the spot he found
that a portion of the loot had been
removed.
The chief conveyed O'Brien to the
lookup in the city hall and then
started on q search for Miles, whom
he was unable to locate until well
on toward Thursday morning.
When apprehended, Miles denied
all knowledge of the transaction, but
when confronted with the unmistak-
able evidence in possession of the
chief he acknowledge he knew where
LAc BdiuuSS VI Inc lOOb was COHCcdl-
ed, but that he had found it, not
stolen it and directed the chief to
his home, where the balance of the
missing articles were found in a
shed.
1t is very apparent IL there is any
clue to work on the chief will spare
no work to work up the case and
bring the offender or offenders to
justice. Miles was also locked up
and yesterday morning they were
given a hearing before Police Justice
Birmingham. Several amusing In
cidents were connected with the ex-
animation of the prisoners. O'Brien
finally signed an affidavit stating
that Miles wanted him to help in the
footing of the shop, but he refused.
Miles denied all knowledge OF the
transaction, claiming that he had
found the articles along the fence in
close proximity to the barber shop.
Notwithstanding the denials the
eQuiyocatfons were such hat the JUS
tice held them for the action of the
grand jury by committing them to
the county Jail, where they were
taken by Constable McCabe at +
o'clock yesterday afternoon, arriving
there in time to have their Thanks
giving supper furnished by Warden
Quackenboss.

TIME FOR THE FARMERS TO
THINK.
THINK.

Dear Sir:-I would like to say
word or two to the farmers through
The JeffersOnian AS all the corn,
wheat, oats, and other crops, are now
looking so fine in this part of the
county, | am sorry not to see more
of them planted when we depend
on an all-cOtton crop, we are at the
mercy of the banks, and they can
force a panic on this country at any
time, and it is peculiar fact that all
these panics come in the fall of the
year when the cotton farmer is sell
ing his cotton and paying his debts.
The banks will then refuse to make
any loans on cotton. The national
banker gets rich on what he sows, he
can loan money belonging to the gov
eminent at one-half of one per cent;
how much longer are the farmers go
ing to stand for this sort Of thing?
Ask your candidate for your dis
trict how he stands on this national
banking system. We have been send
ing men to Congress SO long, their
backs are bent sending out garden
seed, burt they haven't raised their
voices any against the national bank
ing system.
Yours truly, S. J. SMITH.

Now, think of this. How many
Republicans broke away from Can
non on that question of the tyranni-
cal control of the House by the Rules
Committee Of Three? The answer is,
some thirty-two Or three. How many
Democrats deserted to the Republi-
cans? The answer is, twenty three.
By adding these two numbers to-
gether, you will see that the insurg-
ing Republicans, added to solid
Democratic minority, would have
been sufficient to have overcome the
Republican party in the House; for
it had, on a full vote of all the Re-
publicans, majority of but forty
six, and the number of insurging Re-
pubHcans, added to the deserving
Democrats, made fifty-six. Conse-
quently, had all the Democrats been
united, cooperating with the thirty
odd insurging Republicans, the stand
patters, headed by old Joe Cannon,
would have been over-thrown by q
majority of about ten.
Just consider the facts, and you
will find how enormously valuable
was every one of those twenty-three
Democratic votes to the corporations
and the protected manufacturing in
terests. 1t is a very significant fact
that the corporations drew their
twenty three votes from the Stan
dard Oil group of Democratic Con-
gressmen in New York and the J. P.
Morgan group of Congressman in
Georgia. Florida furnished one de-
serter, Louisiana two, Alabama one.
With that exception, not single
Southern State was disgraced by the
infamous desertion of a single one
of her Congressman.

ton. What was Mr.. Clark's Com
mittee on Rules? He proposed that
the House itself should elect Com
mittee of Fifteen, and that this Com
mittee should elect it's own Chair
man. Inasmuch as the House was to
act freely in the selection of this
Committee, and inasmuch as this
Committee of Fifteen would have
Immediately taken control of the
business of the House, it is perfectly
apparent to any impartial mind that
it would have been impossible for the
stand-pat Republicans to have pass
ed tariff revision bill, which did
not lower the rates of the Dingley
schedules. With such a Committee
in control as that which was pro-
posed by the Honorable Champ
Clark, it would have been utterly
impossible for the Republicans to
have revised the tariff upward, so as
to advance the cost of living all
along the line.
Consequently, Speaker Cannon ut
tered nothing but the literal truth
when he declared in Kansas City
that Clark's committee on rules, had
it been chosen by the House, as Clark
proposed, would have reduced the
tariff duties instead of increasing
them. That's what Cannon meant
when he said that CIark's Committee
on Rules would have treated the
tariff as the wolves treat the sheep.
Proceeding with his address, Mr..
Cannon said:
''The Republican majority Of the
House would have been helpless in
any effort to register it's will, because
any resolution for a special rule to
bring the bill to a vote would have
had to be referred to the Committee
on Rules dominated by Champ Clark,
leader of the minority, and leader of
the effort to prevent the enactment
Of the bill
Is it not perfectly clear to any in
telligent mind that Speaker Cannon
expressed nothing but the truth?
With Champ Clark and his Commit
tee on Rules controlling the situa-
ton, how would it have been possible
for Payne and DalzeH and Cannon
to have 0ver-ridden him with such
mOnstrosity as the Payne-Aldrich
bill? Speaker Cannon's argument
knocks James Calloway's pamphlet
into a cooked hat. Speaker Cannon's
address itself is the conclusive an
swer to Brantley's deceptive letter.
But, continuing, Speaker Cannon
said:
eff all the minority (that is the
Dem ocrats) had co-Operated' with the
so-caued insurgent Republicans, the
nominal Republican majority in the
House would have been destroyed"
Who was it that kept all the mi
nority, the Democrats, from cooper
ating with the so-called insurgents,
and thus destroying the Republican
majority in the House? The answer
is, the twenty-three Democratic. de-
serters, one of whom was the Hon.
w. G. Brantley, of Georgia.
Continuing, Mr.. Cannon said:

considerably surprised at same. You
have evidently been misinfOrmed as
to the purpose and effect of the FitZ-
gerald amendments for which I voted
on March is, 1909. In this connec-
ton I beg to enclose herewith an ar
tic1e written by Mr.. James Galloway,
of the Macon Telegraph, setting forth
from the Congressional Record the
proceedings of that day and their
meaning. / hope you will read this
over, and / am sure that if you do
your ideas upon the subject will be
different from what they now seem
to be. The idea that the action upon
that day contributed in the remotest
way to the passage of the Payne-Al-
drich bill is preposterous. So far as
/ know, Mr.. Roddenbery has never
introduced any bill to repeal the
Payne-Aldrich bill. Mr.. Fitzgerald,
of New York, however, few weeks
ago made a motion, the effect of
which, if carried, would have been
to repeal this law, and I and all
other Democrats voted to repeal it.
The motion was lost, however, be-
cause all of the so-called insurgents
voted against it. I am,
Very truly yours,

Answer.
CD If Mr. Brantley does not know
that the Honorable S. A. Rodenberry
has introduced a bill to repeal the
Payne-Adrich tariff act, and to ap-
ply a horizontal reduction to the
schedules, he needs to study the Con-
gressional Record with more atten-
ton. Mr.. Rodenberry had not been
in his seat more than q week or so
before he had introduced just such
measure as Mr.. Brantley declares
he knows nothing about
CD Mr. BrantIey declares that
the idea of his desertion to the Re-
publicans having contributed in the
remotest way to the passage of the
Payne-Aldrich bill is preposterous."
This statement is an outrageous at
tempt to impose upon the people. 1t
is it true that Mr.. James Galloway, of
the Macon Telegraph has prepared a
series of articles. which have been
published as a booklet, for the pur-
pose of proving that the desertion of
the twenty three Democrats to the
Republicans had nothing to do with
the new tariff law. But, while Mr..
James Galloway is an honest man,
and a very capable newspaper CORE
spOndent, he is altogether off the
line when he attempts to prove that
the deserters did not save the Re-
pubHcans from overthrow, and did
not pave the way for the Payne-Al-
drich bill
The man who knows best what
was the value to the stand-pat Re-
publicans of the twenty-three Demo-
crat votes which came to him on the
18th of March year ago, is Joseph
G. Cannon, of Illinois, the Republi-
can Speaker of the House. Let us
hear what he had to say, as to the
effect upon the Republican party of
the detection of the insurgents and
the coming of the Democratic de-
serters to his relief. Speaking at
