NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. H.
The Innocent victims of a drunken

road about / o'clock Sunday morn

ternoon. Funeral services are be-
ing held from the late home of the
two women at los South Fourth
avenue, Highland Park, interment
following in st. James Episcopal
church cemetery at Piscataway.
The services are being conducted
by Rev. Drs. Wheeler and Haynes.
Major Alexander Monroe. from
whose home the service rifle, re-
volver, bowie knife, medals and
other articles, including bottle of
Saturday night, paid visit to the
prosecutors office this morning, ac-
companied by his wife, and identi-
fed the articles taken from Mike
Mazakovich, the alleged murderer,
as belonging to him. Prosecutor
Joseph z. Stricken paid visit TO
the. Middlesex General Hospital
here this morning and saw Mike,
who appeared to be resting COM
fortably. He has a bullet wound as
the result of being shot by a Camp
Raritan soldier in being captured
early Sunday morning.
When questioned this morning as
to whether or not he thought the
accused man to be insane, Prose-
cutor Stricken said he had no in
timation as to whether he was sane
or insane" The prosecutor pointed
out that IL the section about Stelton
was protected by marshal or po-
hceman of some kind this man
would probably have been arrested
before he committed the murder.
Mr.. Stricken said he received sever
al letters some time ago from resi-
dents in that vicinity asking for
some kind of protection owing to
the dark. lonely roads. At the time,
the prosecutor said, he had advised
them to appoint a marshal or spe-
cial officer with police powers to
protect the residents there.
The bottle, which had contained
the whiskey stolen from Major
Monroe's home at Stelton, was
found near the Piscataway fire.
house yesterday. Thomas Swales
brought the bottle to the prosecu-
tors office and explained that early
Sunday morning he had. met man
who he later learned was Mike. The
man had bottle of whiskey,
Swales said, and offered him a
drink. In order to humor Mike,
who seemed in a peculiar mood,
Swales told the prosecutor, he took
the bottle and pretended to drink.
He then threw the bottle over his
shoulder so that Mike could get no
more. Laters-when' sSwales learned
of the murder he went back TO the
spot and secured the empty bottle,
taking it to Prosecutor Stricken
with his story.

GAS SERVICE
IS IMPROVED
Company Promises to Do All
Possible to Better Condi-
tons, as Prevailed Sunday

Considerable improvement in the
gas service given by the Perth AM
boy Gas Light Company during the
past few days was reported by
housewives today. That the COM
pany will do all in it's power to
remedy the conditions which pre-
vailed throughout the city last Sun
day when many homes were with
out gas for cooking purposes, was
the information received from John
w. Whelan, acting head of the gas
company. today.
The shortage of gas at certain
times in the past is directly due,
according to Mr.. Whelan, to the
fact that the company Is unable to
manufacture gas in it's plant here
or store it in the present storage
container, in quantities large
enough to meet the demand made
by the consumers and for this rea-
son, when nearly every home in the
city is using gas the service be-
comes poor. Particularly is this
true during the present season when
nearly everyone is canning fruits
and vegetables for winter use.
In order to give this city service
and not have a reoccurrence of the
conditions of last Sunday, the COM
pany, If 1t becomes necessary, will
supply the city with pressure from,
the Elizabeth plant. 1t was the in
tentions of the company to rebuild
the present plant on the river front
so that it would be able to take care
of the increased supply demanded
by the consumers here. Plans had
Been made for the erection OF new
container and other equipment
which would have cost between
$4,000 or $4,000.
About the time the company had
decided to build the new additions
to the plant, the question of the city
purchasing the site for park pur-
poses. came up and the company
decided no. to begin building opera
tions at that time because If they
did the value of the property would
be considerably increased and would
have cost the city considerably more
money to take over the site. Then
the cost of materials needed to put
the additions to the plan advanced
to such an extent that the project
became impossible.
Not only is the present plant taxed
to meet the requirements of the con-
sumers, but the conditions of pipes
leading into the residents from the
main in the street. are also suggest
poor flow of gas in the stoves.
Many of these service pipes were
laid years ago. during the time when
one inch pipes were thought large
enough to furnish the gas. These
pipes have since filled up and in
some cases the gas goes through
holes no larger than a lead pencil.
This of course affects the supply of
gas in the home to considerable ex-
tent. At the present time pipes an
inch or an inch and one-fourth are
uesd to supply the consumer with
gas from the stoves to the main.
1t is fair to. assume from Mr..
Whelan's statement today, however,
that the city will not be without gas
again as was the case last Sunday,
for if the present plant cannot meet
the demand the Elizabeth plant will
be connected with the city. and suf-
ficient pressure obtained from that
plant to assure a supply of gas here.

SAYS SENATORS
RULE HARDING
Senator Hitchcock Booms Cox
as Party Leader and Not
Controlled, in N. Y. Speech

NEW YORK, Sept. 1t-United
States Senator Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, speaking before the
Arkwright Club here today declared
Governor Cox, if elected. would cx-
ercise the throes of his Office as they
were exercised by Wilson, Roosevel.,
Cleveland. Lincoln and other strong
men of both parties. while Harding
would exercise his presidential pow
ers under some form of dictaror-
ship by a senatorial oragarchy in
control Of party machinery"
IF this question can be fairly con-
sidered by the voters" he said. "it
seems to me a majority will return
in favor Of an individual President
rather than a president acting as
a figurehead Tor a combination CT
senator's.
"The Republican managers rely
ing on the belief uhat their party Is
the strongest have adopted a plat
fern which may be interpreted in
several different ways after the cleo
tion on a number of important is
sues. They have nominated a can
didate of their own choice and have
restricted him to his front porch
They have brought before him hand
picked audiences for formal ad-
dresses and meanwhile have devoted
their energy to the collection and
use of campaign funds, TO be used in
organizing for the campaign. They
are living up to the idea that all that
is necessary is to get out the party
strength to insure a party victory"
The Democratic platform con-
sists of direct appeal to the peo-
pie without regard to party on the
issues of the day.
The Democratic platform is bold
and outspoken," he continued.
while the Republican platform is
ambiguous and doubtful. Governor
Cox is not only the party candi-
date but a party leader as well,
the candidate does not apparently
ership which remains with those
who made him candidate.
Senator Harding says he be-
lieves in party government and II
he is elected the Republican party
will govern. II sounds as though
the rank and file of the Republican
party were to reach important de-
cisions and shape party policies.
The real meaning of it. however. is
that party caucus of United States
senators in Washington would IN
those circumstances. run the gov
ernment just as they ran the late
Republican convention. Obviously
this is a party campaign of mis-
representation and falsehood.
1T harmonizes with dodsing the
issue and is deceiving the voter"

BY The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Me, Sept. IA
Maine gave an overwhelming piu-
rality to the Republican ticker in
the state election yesterday. With a
total vote larger by 5000 than the
highest ever previously passed in
the state Frederic H. Parkhurst, of
Bangor, Me, was elected governor
by margin of 5000 over his
Democratic opponent, Bertram G..
McIntire. OF Norway.
The plurality was 1900 more
than the largest obtained by any
other gubernatorial candidate in
the history of the state. Four Re-
publican congressman were elected
by large pluralities. Every member
of the state senate will be a Repub-
lican while of membership of Isl
in the state house of representa-
tlves the Democrats succeeded in
electing thirteen. In the last legiS-
lature there were two Democratic
senator's and forty-one Democratic
representatives
Roy L. Wardwell, of Augusta. Re-
publican, was easily reelected state
auditor. All the new county attor-
neys and all: new county sheriffs are
Republicans.
The increase in the total vote was
largely accounted by the presence of
women at the. polls for the first
time. The result showed most or
them voted the Republican state
ticket.
Col. Parkhurst, after being assur-
ed of his election gave the view
point OF the Republicans in state
ment in which he pointed out that
the campaign had been vigorously
contested by the Democrats on ma
uonal issues and said the issues
gave conclusive evidence that the
voters of Maine resent the autocratic
and un-American administration
that the Democrats have given u.s."
He declared that .'it was equally
an endorsement of Harding aad
Coolidge"

BY The Associated Press
NEW YORK. Sept. IA. - Com
menting on the result of the election
in Maine. George White, chairman
of the Democratic national COM
mittee said today:
This is the Republican day of re-
Joicing. They planned, labored and
paid for 1t and / would not by any
utterance of mine rob them of any
of their need Of joy. With splen-
did organization and with the cx-
penditure of every effort they pre-
pared the Republican state of Maine
for this election in the hope of per-
suading the country that the trend is
heavily Republican in the national
race.
Had the Democratic party been
presented the same opportunity in
the state where the trumpet calls of
Democracy means as much as the
Republicanism in Maine, we should
have made nearly the same effort
possible with the same psychology
in mind.
I'VE shall have votes for the lea
que from thousands who supported
Col. Parkhurst. On a certain morn
ing In November. our time for re-
joicing will come and in the mean
time we gaze cheerfully upon to-
days Republican demonstration and
DO not begrudge 1t to them"
