To MAKE

FOR bOLSHEV|kI
Stricken and Dorsey Both
Promise Short Shift for An
arChiSm or !. w. w. Here

Prosecutor Joseph e. Stricller's
warning to BolShevistS or others or
their like was summed up in trite and
businesslike statement this morning
when he said: This will not be a
healthy place for any movement of
that kind that may get underway"
Further than that the prosecutor
would not commit himself except to
say that arrangements are being made
for the proper handling of any out
break of such organizations as the
Bolsheviki or 1. w. w. in this city.
That Reds will find a warm recep-
ton is reflected in the county official S
statement and also in the warning of
Mayor Dorsey that short Shift will be
made of any activity here by the in
cendiary breed. The mayor went into
conference with the prosecutor at
noon today and while it was not
diyulged just what they would take up
it is to be presumed that they discuss
ed the Bolsheviki menace.
The Board of Alderman will receive
for their consideration tomorrow
night a tentative ordinance designed
primarily for dealing with such or
carnations through the licensing or
all hall owners and lessees. The
board will probably adopt the ordi-
nance with desirable changes at their
regular meeting on Tuesday night. No
meeting will be held on Monday night
st Patrick's Day-at the request of
some of the members who desire to
observe the day.
Incipient Bolshevism In the city has
attracted the attention of the city Of
flcials for some time past and they
are ready for any emergency that NAV
arise that threatens an outcropping
of any anarchistic, seditious or other
wise dangerous element here.

LEAGUE OPPOSE
zON|NG SYSTEM
Municipalities Oppose Assem-
bly, Bills Exempting Tools
From Taxes

Municipalities in this state repre-
sentel in the New Jersey League of
Municipalities will fight the proposed
trolly Zoning system as submitted by
the Public Service Railway Company.
This was determined on, at q meeting
of the executive and legislative COM
mittees held in Newark yesterday.
Definite plans for halting the zoning
system, recently submitted 30 the
Board of Public Utility Commissioners
by President Thomas N. McCarter of
the trolley company were uncertain
when the meeting closed, but the legal
points will be chosen by counsel for
the municipalities for the legal battle
that may follow its proposal.
The committees also decided to op-
pose Assembly bill No. 226 which
would exempt all tools and machinery
in Industrial buildings in the state
from taxation. This Is in line with re-
cent legislation passed by the Penn
sylvania state legislature.
The opinion was expressed that
cities like Perth Amboy, Newark and
Trenton would suffer greatly by such
a measure. as the ratables would be
considerably reduced and the propor-
tionate increase In taxes on other
properties would be big
The league authorities also decided
to oppose in its present form bill No.
227 which would allow cemetery as
sociations to dispose of portions of
cemetery tracts for which they have
no use. The league favored an
amendment 30 the bill which would
compel those cemetery associations to
pay, when they sold these portions,
back taxes from which the properties
had been exempt when parts of a
cemetery.
Mayor Frank Dorsey, a member of
the executive committee attended the
meeting.

PLOT THAT PUT

Revelations of Assassination at
Saraievo Made BY Priest
in Pamphlet

BERNE, March 12:--Charges that
the assassination of Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand and his wife, the
Duchess of Hohenberg. at Sarsjevo,
on June 2S, 1914. was the result OF
a deliberate plot led by the late
Count Tisza, former Hungarian pre-
mier are made in a pamphlet written
by a priest who was the spiritual ad-
visor of the Duchess OF Hohenbers,
according to a Vienna dispatch to the
Frankfort Gazette. The pamphlet
entitled the "SarajevO murder and
Count Tisza's responsibility for the
world war" is said to have made
profound impression in Austria
II is declared that Francis Ferdi-
nand repeatedly refused TO go to Sar-
aievo and II was only an appeal 10
his courage that induced him to make
the trip.
The general idea of the pamphlet
is that Magyar magnates. with the
consent of the Vienna court, wished
to get rid of the archduke. who was
extremely disliked, and obtained Ven
geance for the murder at the expense
of the Jugo Slays who would be made
helpless. II is pointed out that no
proper" inquiries were ever made
into the tragedy and that no one was
made responsible for the fact that
precautionary measures we're not
taken.
