front porch calendar and for the
moment the center of the Re-
publican's campaign day was taken
by group of dramatists who came
to present their pledges of support
and to listen to the speech of ap-
probation.
A program of fireworks occupied
most of Senator Harding's day but
he reserved time for a conference
on serious aspects of the campaign
with Charles Evans Hughes. who
was the Republican presidential
nominate four years ago. MI.
Hughes came at the senator's in
vitation and IL was said several inn

The conference was one of several

would be discussed with the callers
and their advice would be received
on the issues on which they are
most interested.
The delegations of actors and
actresses which came under the
Harding q Coolfdge Theatrical com.

show that a surprisingly large num-
Der Of the ZIP chapters have all
ready begun organizing for the
fourth Red Cross roll call to be held
during the period of Armistice Day
and Thanksgiving Day. Such fore
sight is greatly commended to
chairmen who have already delayed
in getting their preliminary work
under way.
The local chapter has been rec
commended to make thorough plans
for the coming registration. 1t is
hoped that this community will
show itself to be an early 100 per
cent Red Cross, as is possible. A
membership quota is to be given
out this time. according to the size
of the community, which, consider
ing the large foreign element here
who will have to be explained the
purpose of the roll call will make
the task much greater in Perth Am
boy than in most districts.
This years appeal is to be based
on the record of fine achievement
since the last roll call. Not only is
the Red Cross still rendering splen-
did service to the country's fighting
men, particularly the disabled ones,
but the progress of its health. dis
aster, relief. nursing and other peace
time activities in a great many
communities has more than justified
it's continued existence. 1t has come
to be one of the biggest things in

DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND
POLICE SOLVING MYSTERY
BY Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE. Aug. z4.-Police
of Staten Island and District At
-torney Joseph Maloy. OF the county
of Richmond, are busy endeavoring
to solve the two mysteries. One that
is trying the skill of the detectives on
the island is the murder of Frederick
p. Eckert, bootlegger and gang
leader, who was found shot to death
in an automobile in a lonely spot on
the Old Town road, near South
Beach, early Saturday morning. The
other Is the finding of a body of a
young woman among the rocks at
Fort Wadsworth Sunday morning.
Assistant Medical Examiner Mord for
the borough of Richmond, following
the autopsy on the body of the young
woman gives as his opinion that the
latter was a case of suicide and not
of murder as first thought.
There are no marks of violence on
the body according to findings of
the police and the medical examiner.
The only thing that could be seen
was several marks on the face which
are believed to have been made by
coming in contact with the rocks
along shore. Both the body of the
man and woman are at the City
Farm Colony at New Springville.

CAPTURED BY
BANDIT CHIEF
American and British SUBJ
iects Are Held by Mexican
Band of Outlaws.

BY The Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 23:-Pedro
Zamora, the bandit chief, whose
men carried off a number of cap
tives. including several American
and British subjects from Cuale,
state of Jalisco. August 20, is being
closely pursued by government
cia, chief of staff of the war depart
ment, tonight.
Six Americans held have been re-
leased but there are several more
in his hands and at least two British
subjects are being held. 1t is possi-
Bile the list OF captives is as yet in
complete.
Cuale, where the victims were
captured. is a small mining town
and is in the location of the La
Union mining operations. which are
operated by the La Esperanza Min
ing Company of Ell Orc. state OF
Mexico.
Information relative to the out
rage has been coming from Cuale
via that company's Offices. The re-
ports have been contradictory, but
information received seems to indi-
cate that upwards of 800 women are
captives of the outlaws.

The war Office has heard nothing

August Is to round up the band and
as rail communication there is very
poor, the country being very noun

to expect results from the military
expedition.
Friends of the captives knowing
Zamoria's -ruthlessness fear he may
kill his prisoners IL closely pressed.
They have been working for the past
couple days raising money for which
to ransom the captives.
Zamora, who is called q perpetual
bandit, succeeded to the leadership
of outlaws in the states of Michaoian
and Jalisco. This step was made
easy for him by the death of Jose

Bic CROWD ON
K. Of c. OUTING
More Than 5000 People on
Boat Bound for ROTOR Point
on long Island Sound.

One of the largest crowds that has
ever left this city on an excursion
was on the second outing OF the
Knights of Columbus with st. Mary's
parish. that sailed for Roton Point
on Long Island sound today. 1t IL
estimated that more than 5000 were
on board when the steamer Grand
Republic swung out into the stream
from the city dock at 9:15 o'clock.
Pointing its nose up the Staten
Island sound the big boat was soon
lost from view.
The lowering clouds hardly cast
a gloom on the excursionists and
there never was more happy crowd
of men, women and children than
those who left for a days outing
on the water.
Long before the arrival of the
steamer groups of people gathered
at the dock and from every street
with their children carrying boxes
of lunch vending their way toward
the shore.
Both South Amboy and Staten
Island were represented by large
delegations on the outing. There
was said to have been such a crowd
coming ever from South Amboy that
the train had to be stopped on the
bridge so as to give the conductor
time to gather all of the tickets be-
fore arriving at the station
The start was made early from the
city dock so as TO allow plenty Of
time to make the run up the Long
Island sound. but if weather con-
ditions remain the same as at the
start 1t is doubted by many that
they will be able TO reach ROTOR
Point. which is located on the
shores of Connecticut.
There is dancing on board, the
music for which is being furnished
by Professor Fred O'Brien's $
orchestra. The committee in charge
of the arrangements had plenty OF
refreshments put on board.

ciared false today by Health Officer
DIR. Charles S. Thompson, whefr Seen
at the health department rooms in

many cases of chicken pox In the
city, there are no smallpox, DIR.

have started from the fact that re-

city from Cuba were first class pas
sengers on a ship which, when it
arrived at quarantine, was found to
have smallpox on board. One case
was discovered among the second

sengers were allowed to come to this
city.
