POLICE HUNT
BOOZE SEDAN
Car, Said to be Used by Whis-
key Thieves in This City,
Searched for by the Police

A sedan is playing an important
part in the operations OF liquor
thieves in this city and the police are
new keeping a close watch on the
movements of all such cars.
Joseph Altman. of 397 Compton
avenue, reported TO the police on
Friday that a sedan carried away
the men who attempted to steal
LIQUOR from his cellar on THURSDAY
night. What is thought to be the
same car was out for action last
night. according to the report OF Pa
troImen Charles Jorgenson and Emil
Koyen.
These two officers stood in an
alleyway on Prospect street about
O'Clock. They watched a sedan
drive up in front of the Prospect
street garage, and an occupant get
out, but he did not go very far. LOT
he spied the two policemen. jumped
into the car and sped OF failing 70
heed a call from the policemen 10
stop. The policemen were not sue
cessful in securing the license num-
ber of the car.
On Thursday night party OF four
or Ave men gained entrance to the
cellar of Joseph Altman on Compton
avenue. and had a quantity OF liquor
which he has stored there, out in the
alleyway when they were spied al
work and scared off Early this week
the house of Max Shapiro on New
Brunswick avenue was entered, ano
box of liquor stolen
1t is the belief of the police thai
a gang of young men are travehns
the city by night trying to rob liquor
from men who they believe nave
whiskey. Robbing the liquor and
selling it at high prices is Deheveo
to be their work. 1t is possible tna'
the Limousine gang had a fros-
meet street lob planned last night,
but were fooled by Oficers Jorgen-
son and Koyen.

Ramsay Silent On Issues
Democratic Congress Candi-
date Refuses to Give Stand
on "Wet" or "Dry" Issues

In spite of an interview published
yesterday to the effect that he stands
unequivocally for the repeal of the
Volstead Act and the substitution of
a more liberal liquor enforcement
law or, If possible. for the repeal OF
the eighteenth amendment itself, DR..
William E. Ramsay, Democratic can
dfdate for the nomination Of con-
gresham IN the third congressional
district, stated this morning that as
vet he has not decided on his plat
form and would not do so until after
his petitions are filed. The petitions
will be filed Monday, and DR.. Ram
say said he would be able to make
statment of his platform after that
day. He said he had given no inter-
view on the matter.
His choice as candidate by the
Democratic leaders in the district
was so unexpected and took him so
by surprise. DR.. Ramsay said, tnat
he had not as yet been able to give
much thought to the issues on
which he will run. Ever since the
announcement was made that DR..
Ramsay would be the candidate, ne
has been receiving phone calls and
letters informing him that the dis
trict is with him, and this is par
ticularly pleasing to the doctor.
1t was learned this morning that
DR.. Ramsay's name was first sug-
gested by County Clerk Bernard NJ.
Cannon just at the time that the
organization was cropping blindly IN
the dark for a candidate. when II
finally became apparent that Con-
gresham Scully would not be
candidate for reelection.
In the eyes of Senator Thomas
Brown and United States District At
torney Elmer H. Geran, both OF
whom were suggested at one time as
possible candidates for the nomina-
ton, DIR. Ramsay is one of the strong
est men that the party could have
selected for the race and will make
a great run. Both Senator Brown
and Attorney Geran are enthusiastic
in their opinions of the doctor anc
the race he will run.
Conferences of the Democratic
leaders in this city and county are
being held daily and plans for ths
campaign in the counties and dis
trict are fast nearing completion
1t is likely that the question con-
fronting the city as to who will be
the Democratic candidate for mayor
will be answered the first of the
week. At least that was the un-
derstanding today.

YACHT CLUB CARNIVAL
HAS SECOND BIG NIGHT

The Raritan Yacht Club fete and
carnival proved an enjoyment for
many people again last night, but
will probably be outdone both in
crowds and entertaining features to-
night. Several unusual events are
to be staged. of which the canoe TIT
ing contest will undoubtedly be the
most interesting. The awarding OF
the prizes are to be made.
Last nights crowd was large
and enthusiastic one and it made ev-
eryone of the stands and features
popular. The shooting gallery again
came in for attention and large
supply of ammunition prevented an
occurrence of the trouble OF night
before last. Many again took the
opportunity for boat ride out
around the lighthouse.
The successful event will close
with tonight's features. Dancing
win be even more popular than on
the previous occasions for there VIII
be a five piece orchestra present.
