SAFE CRACKERS
FAIL IN PLOT.
Holes Drilled In Safe for Job
Here

An unsuccessful attempt was made
by robbers on Thursday night or early
yesterday morning to blow up and
rob the safe in the dental office of
Bradford & Bedell, in the Splitter
building, corner Smith street and New
Brunswick avenue. -Four holes about
one-half inch in diameter had been
drilled in the left corner of the door
and made ready for The charge of ex-
plosives. From appearances it would
seem that the culprits had been
frightened away before they could
complete the job.
The attempted robbery was dis
covered when the offices were open
ed yesterday morning and was kept
quiet for the time being. The janitor
has informed Doctors Bradford and
Bedell that the Office was open when
he came on duty. Chief Patrick j..
Burke of the police department,
holds that the robbers were amateurs
and this would seem to be the case,
as much material of value in the Of
fees was not touched. DR.. Bradford
said today that had the thieves gained
entrance to the safe they would have
made a pretty good haul.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. Ito
the end that alleged unfair and crook
ed tactics may be prevented at the
polls next Tuesday, state authorities
have stepped in and taken a hand in
the matter.
In some places in the county poll
clerks and judges of election have
been charged with crooked work in
past elections. To guard against such
conditions and prevent the possibili-
ties of such happenings at Tuesdays
election, thirty former soldiers from
Trenton will be sent into the county
These men are to be placed in polls,
at which honest returns have been
said in the past to be the exception.
Bearing credentials from the state
and with the instructions to report
anything that Is shady in character,
the delegation is due here Monday
night.
To insure the purity of the ballot
by preventing any juggling of the bal
lots either at the box or while the
votes are being counted, has been re-
ported as the reason these watchers
are being sent.
All voters without respect to party
are asked to see that their own bal
lot goes in the box and in that way
endeavor to assist in conducting a
clean adm honest election.
From the time the polls open at 6
o'clock in the morning and until 8
o'clock at night, when they close, and
until the vote has. been counted, tab
ulated and the ballot box sealed, the
special agents from Trenton will be in
constant attendance at the polls to
which they are assigned.
1t is to be hoped that these men will
have no breaches of the law to report,
as any person caught attempting
crooked work will be reported to the
grand jury in the hopes Of having
them indicted.

RED CROSS DRIVE
OFF TOMORROW
Ministers VIII Start Campaign
in Churches

Tomorrow will be Red Cross Sun
day in this city and will mark the
opening of the Third Red Cross Roll
Call campaign, which is scheduled to
run from November 2 to II. The
quota for this city is $4,000 and as
many members as there are people in
the city. The teams and committees
to carry on the campaign have been
selected and received orders how to
go about the work of making the
drive a success and will begin work
at once.
Rev. Wilbert Westcott, pastor OF
the Simpson Methodist church who
is chairman of the church committee,
has communicated with the pastors
of the different churches during the
past few days and urged them to
make reference to the drive in their
services tomorrow.
On Monday the committee has de-
cided to hold a tag day and all auto
mobiles and persons on the street dur
ing certain hours will be tagged by
the teams in charge of this work.
Other features have been arranged
for the week, the principal one of
which is a gala event to be known as
Field Day to be held in the Audito-
rum on Friday night.

VOTE ON COPS PAY
HERE TUESDAY.
Increases Would Mean S15,OOO
to $4,000 Salaries Increases

In addition to voting for candidates
for state, county and city offices, the
voters when they go to the polls on
Tuesday will also vote for or against
the proposition to increase the pay Oh
the citys patrolmen. The question
as put to the voters is as follows:
Shall the patrolmen, when en-
ployed not more than one year, be
paid at the rate of 81, 900 per an
mum; when employed more than two
years, be paid at the rate of $1,7OO
per annum; and when employed
more than two years, be paid at the
rate of 1900 per annum."
This question is being put to the
voters in order tht the Board OF AL
derman may learn the general con-
census Of opinion of the voters OF tills
city as to whether or not the patrol
men should receive an increase in pay,
varying from $500 to $500 a year. II
is estimated that If the patrolmen are
given what they request it will mean
an increase of from 900 to $4,000
in the payroll of the police depart
ment
The present scale for the pay of pa
trolmen provides that during the hrs'
year he SHALL receive $11OO. They ask
for $500, an increase of S5OO. sec
ond year men are now getting $12OU
Der annum. They ask for $17OO, al
SO an increase of $500. Third year
men now get $500 and ask for $500
a raise of $500. All patrolmen who
have been on the force for more than
three years now receive $500 year
They also would secure $500 under
the new plan, making an increase OF
$500. About forty patrolmen would
secure increases as the result of this
change in salary schedule.
The fact that this question is fav-
ored or opposed by the voters of the
city does not necessarily mean that
they will or will not receive lncreas-
es asked for. The idea Of placing
this matter on the ballot is to secure
the opinion of the voters on the sub
ject so that Aldermen can decide how

F. F.F.Richardson Makes
Prompt Reply To
B. NJ. Cannon

Aided for handicap as the case may
be by the Democratic County Com
mittee, asked in yesterdays issue Of
the Evening News, why local telephone
charges for county work by the Of
fee of the county solicitor were paid
for by the county.
Telephone charges, whether local or
toll, when on county business should
be paid for by the county. The Dem
ocratic County Engineer, Fox, charges
them the same as county solicitor.
Mr. Cannon does not, himself, per-
sonally pay for his local telephone
calls and he gets Sc, year and
office furnished free of charge. The
solicitor gets $4,000 year and furn-
ishes his own office and pays his own
help out of his salary. Think this
over Mr.. Cannon.
