IDENTIFY SLAYlNG SUSPECT
Records Of Two Arrested In Mrs.
Sabor's Murder Investigated

Police authorities of Glassboro arc
still investigating the records of William
Watson, negro, and Alex Romik. both
of whom were arrested Wednesday on
suspicion of being connected with the
murder of Clara Sabor, of Glassboro.
Mrs. Jennie Krasne. mother of the
murdered woman, identified Watson as
the man with whom, she says, she
grapplcd on the morning of the murder.
Romk is white foreigner, forty two
years old.
An alibi presented by the negro has
not been sustained by fact. The police
believe that if the two men are not
connected with the murder of Mrs.
Sabor they have been guilty of some
other crime, since both are reluctant
to answer questions or tell much about
themselves.

WITH THE STRIk FRS.
No Settlement of R. X +. Trouble
 Demands of Other Workers.

Another small strike occurred yes- terday afternoon in the asserting room of the Corbu screw corpora ton when several of the girls and women presented demands for raise, which will be considered by the factory officials shortly. This morn ing in the nut tapping department the women and men refused to work unless they were also given raise. Superintendents Pratt an Bradbury were called to the scene by the fore man of the room. They ordered the disturbers back to work telling them that their demands would be con- sidered.
 The strike situation in the tool and die room of the Russell & Erwin plant remains the same. At the meeting of the strikers this morning at Machinists' hall on Church street it was decided that all men will re- main at home until their demands are taken into consideration by the factory officials. It was reported this morning that the labor bureau of the Russell X Erwin plant is making ef- forts to hire new men to fill the va- cancies caused by the strikers.

CARNEGIE FUNERAL TOMORROW
Delay in Deciding Details Due to Ig- nOrance of Religion of Deceased.

Lenox, Mass, Aug. 13.-Doubt as to the religious belief of Andrew Car negie is believed to be one of the req sons for the delay in deciding definite ly upon the funeral services to be held at Shadow Brook tom orroW morning.
 Reports connecting MT. Carnegie with this or that church have no foundation, so far as is known here. While he contributed liberally to va rious denominations, he apparently was not a member of any church so- ciety. It was thought likely today that the service would be sn ada pton of the Presbyterian and Congrega- tional rituals.
 MT Carnegie is said to be much i'm proved after the slight collapoe which followed the death of her husband on Monday.

TO SUPPRESS BOLSHENISM.
Reason Given for Rumanian Troops
 Entering Budapest.

Bucharest, Aug. 10, (By The As sociated Press )-The only thought of the Rumanian government in order ing it's troops to enter Budapest, Pre- mier Brataino explained to the corre- spondent today was to help the Allied armies suppress Bolshevism and to restore order.
 While we were awaiting the ar rival of Allied troops, the Bolsheviki attacked the Rumanian troops on the Transylvanian front. After several days of hard fighting in which Itu- mania received no material help from the Allies, the Bolshevik forces were beaten decisively," the premier said "The so-caled government of Bella Kun was overthrown, although at heavy sacrifices on the part of the Rumanian army. In order to render the victory effective tho Rumanian troops occupied Budapest and re- stored order where only anarchy had prevailed

WOULD REGULATE WAGES.
Must See to Pay of Street
 Car Employes As We'll As Fares.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Final solu- ton of the street railway problem can be made only when power to regulate wages of street car employees as well as fares is created, the federal street railway commission was told today bv w. B. Bliss chairman of the Rhode Island pubic utilities com mission The time is approaching rapidly. he said, when mere increases in fares will no longer solve the financial difficulties of the roads.
 He said tho tax paid by the prin- cipal Rhode Island trolley company in 1913 were ten per cent of gross earnings, this being exclusive of the cost to the company of repairs to pavements and similar charges. It was unfair, he said, to impose this entire burden upon street car pas sengers or upon taxpayers gen nerally as both classes shared in advantages arising from adequate transportation.

 MT. Ford declined to talk with a re- porter, turning and walking away when spoken to.
 MT. Edison and MT. Burroughs talked with some freedom the latter being very cordial in his references to the policies of President Wilson and the league of nations.

 You see, I am neither politician nor a statesman; Just an inventor"
 MT. Burroughs deplOred what he haracterzed as a nation wide tend ency to criticize the president be- cause the latter was a democrat II don't believe in partisanship,' he said.

ing are of the opinion the shopmen's strike will end tomorrow.
 A mass meeting was held after the strikers had time to assemble, and James F. MCCue, of New Haven, an officer of the State Federation of Labor, presided. While no definite claim was made as to the number of persons out, it was said that so pec cent. of the working force had quit and the remainder would be forced out. The only plant not affected was the Rubber Regenerating company.
 The strikers have established pickets, whose work has been light. The present strike started three weeks ago when stitchers and those working on tennis shoes asked for a 20 per cent. increase. As the request was not complied with others in the different departments began to strike and the general strike is, in a meas ure, a sympathetic one, although it is expected general demands will he made up by the strikers meetings to cover all.

AGREES TO |SPEED PEACE TREATY
Hitchcock Wants Action; Lodge
 Also FaVorS Quick Work

At a stormy session today the sen ate foreign relations committee agreed on the motion to expedite consideration of the peace treaty. Re-reading of disputed sections and k the consideration of possible amend anents will begin tomorrow. Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, ranking democrat of the committee was understood to have told the com aaittee that unless there was early committee action an attempt might be made to force a vote on the treaty insthe senate.
 Chairman Lodge and others were understood to have expressed assent e to the proposal to hasten the com mfttees consideration but Senator Fall republican, New Mexico, was said to have taken the position that any precipitate action would be inn practicable.
 Senator Fall expressed the opinion that to hasten ratification would be unwise. as settlements to which the United States would be asked to assent still were undetermined in other treaties not yet in the hands of the senate.
 The discussion was interrupted as
 
 fsthe group of republican senators who have agreed on a reservation program which they believe will have the ulti- mate assent Of the democratic lead CTS. They also expect that in their plan they will have the cooperation of Chairman Lodge.
 it was said Senator Hitchcock told the committee there was an increased demand in the senate and throughout the country that the treaty be disposed of and he expressed the belief that virtually every senator already had made up his mind how he would vote. Lodge is understood to have replied I that he also favored action as soon .as practicable, but that so far there had been no avoidable delay in the treatys consideration.
 During the debate which was in executive session, it was reported members had a bitter al afgument, Sen ator Fall declaring that Senator Hitchcock and others had questioned the. motives Of the republicans and made unfair reflections on the com mittee's course. Senator Hitchcock was said to have replied with equal vigor.
