NiddIesex G. O. y. There

Considerable interest is being
taken by the Republicans in the
third congressional district in the
state convention being held at Tren-
ton today. Among the district and
county candidates at the convention
are Albert w. Appleby of Old
Bridge. Edward J. Peterson of this
city, and c. Raymond Lyons, of New
Brunswick, all candidates for the
assembly.
1t is expected that the final efforts
to be put forth by the Republican
party during the next three weeks.
against any campaign that the Dem
ocrats may decide upon, will be
mapped out today. A spirit of VIC
tory was taken to the convention by
all candidates in the third congress
sional district, and If there is any
chance of the Democrats carrying
the district or even one candidate in
the district. it was easily seen from
the words and spirit of the candi-
dates that they did not think ii
necessary to worry concerning the
results of the coming campaign.

LIQUOR CHARGE
FOR GRAND JURY
SaIoonkeeper Held in Bail for
Violating Section 66 of
Crimes Act: Hearing Held

Martin Czany, of 765 State street,
the saloonkeeper arrested at 1880
o'clock Sunday morning by Rounds
man William Calvin and Patrolman
Michael Muska on a charge OF serv-
ing whislSey over the bar from
bottle into the glass of an alleged
customer, was ordered held in $500
bail last night by Recorder Pickers-
gill on charge of violating the
sixty sixth section of the crimes act.
William Sokerka, the witness ar
rested by the police officers. was
discharged.
When the case was placed before
the court Roundsman Calvin ac-
cused the man of violating the Sun
day blue laws by selling on Sunday,
serving whiskey in violation of the
Volstead act and trying to bribe an
officer. The charge was finally SIM
mered down to serving the whiskey.
Recorder Pickersgill requested an
opinion of Prosecutor Joseph T..
Stricken in regard to the liquor
charge. Mr. Stricken replied, when
he learned that the largest possible
quantity exchanged in this case was
one quart, that local jurisdiction in
case of this kind allows the au-
thorities to hold a person for viola
ton of the sixty-sixth section of the
crimes act.
Roundsman Calvin gave the court
a detailed report of the arrest, the
place of business being fully illumi-
mated at 1920 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. the passing of the liquor over
the bar and the rush by the officers
into the saloon grabbing the glass
and bottle. The roundsman also
claimed that a $50 bribe was offered
by the man if the officers would re-
lease him. stating that it was his
first day in business and that he did
not know it was against the law to
sell liquor.
In cross-exa mining the officer.
Walter j. REILLY. counselor for the
defense, tried to show that there
was no evidence of sale inasmuch as
the officers witnessed no exchange
of money. The counselor claimed
that Sokerka visited Czany to renew
an old acquaintance. and the de-
fendant was giving him a drink. The
courts opinion on the latter state
ment of the counselor was that it
was very poor way for friends to
drink with a bar separating them.
and the hour an unusual one for
friends to be meeting.
officer Muska corroborated the
statements made by the roundsman
after which the recorder fixed
Czany's bail at $500 and discharged
the witness.

CLEAR WEATHER
FOR BIC SERIES
Brooklyn Stands Filled to Ca
pacity for First Title Game
With the Cleveland Team.

NEW YORK, Oct. Clear, cool
weather with slight breeze greeted
anxious baseball fans today for the
first game of the worlds series be-
tween Brooklyn and Cleveland. The
diamond was reported to be in fair
condition after last nights brief
rainstorm.
Manager Iris Speaker and the
Cleveland team due to arrive here
early, planned to go to their quar-
ters at the field as soon as possible
in order to get acquainted with the
layout of the diamond.
The Indians felt that they would
be at some disadvantage because of
their unfamiliarity with tre playing
field, but hoped to overcome this to
some extent between their arrival
and game time. The American
League champions will have no op-
portunity for actual practice until
they begin their warming up for the
game.
There were a great many disap-
pointed fans in Brooklyn due to the
fact that they were unable to get
tickets that would enable them 20
see one or more of the games. The
unreserved seats in the field stands
and bleachers were put on sale yes
terday and when the box office open
ed there was large crowd on hand
that kept the sellers busy all day.
There were a few tickets left when
those in charge thought the sellers
had done a days work.
While Cleveland ruled slight IA
vorite, that fact did not shake the
confidence of Manager Robinson and
his players. They felt the apparent
batting advantage possessed by
Cleveland, according to unofficial
records, would be offset by the supe-
rior pitching of the Brooklyn staff.
Indications were that the pitching
selection would be Marquard for
Brooklyn and Bagby for Cleveland.
The probable line up follows:
Cleveland Brooklyn

Gillen, of Newark, n. j., in an ad-
dress at the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association banquet here last
night, declared that very little had
been accomplished in bringing about
an improvement of inland water
ways.
ITO do the work in a manner in
which it should be done" he said,
I'VE need an appropriation of $780,
100000. In order to get such an
appropriation the members of all
waterways associations regardless of
political belief should band togeth-
er, go to Washington and not re-
quest it of congress but demand it.
The money is needed to facilitate
the business of the nation.
THE railroad facilities have show
ed that they cannot cope with the
transportation problem and it is i'm
perative that we improve our water
ways so that they will be in a posi-
ton to work in conjunction with
the railroads"

ers of the Democratic party in the

tending from this district is DIR. Will
liam T.. Ramsay, candidate for con-
gresham. Following this conven-
mittee meeting in New Brunswick
on Friday night, the campaign in
this district will get under way.
1t is expected that the next three
weeks will see a whirlwind cam
paign as far as the Democratic party
in the third congressional district Is
concerned, which will result in
carrying the district for the Demo-
cratic candidates. One of the first
moves in the campaign will be the
forming of women organizations.
These organizations are already be-
ing formed in Monmouth county
and following the meeting of the
Middlesex county committee this
week, these organizations will be
formed throughout this county.
Special invitations have been sent to
women throughout the county re-
questing them to be present at the

no other business was transacted.

held in the club rooms, to which not

everybody is welcome. This smoker
will not consist of a lot of long dry
campaign speeches, but an entertain
ment by outside talent. Besides one
or two short talks, the main business
of this meeting will be to arrange
for a larger meeting to be held in
the near future.
Democratic campaign managers
and candidates a7e pleased with the
present outlook In the third district.
At one time there seemed to be very
little hopes of carrying even one
county of the district, but within the
past few weeks, and particularly
since the primary election several
things have occurred which has
given great hopes that the district
may again go Democratic.
