SOLDIERS PREFERENCE
ACT IS NOT SIGNED

= TRENTON, April 14.-Governor
Edwards yesterday voted h Sol
diers Preference Act providing for
the employment of honorably dis
charged soldiers by the State or in
any municipality. Although the gov

intended. Among those who were
against this bill, which was intro
duced by Assemblyman Coon of Es-
sex, were the Civil Service commits
sion which claimed that it excluded
all but the one class of men. 1t was
further argued that it failed to in
clude the thousands of men and also
INT who served overseas in other
capacities, namely. in the-S Salvation
Army, Y. NJ. c. A., Knights of Co
lumbus, Red Cross and the many
other national institutions.
Thee other bills hat did not meet
with the governors favor and were
filed in the state library, follow:
Senator Mackay, permitting the
sheriff to exact three dollars instead
of n dollar and a half for serving
attachments; Senator Rays, provid-
Ing appointment of Soldiers Memo
rial Commission for taking property
at High Point; Senator Barber, al
lowing the transfer of institutional
inmates to Psycopathic depart
ments of the state hospital: Senator
Runyan, permitting trust companies
to change location.

Rumors in New Brunswick
That Lillian and "ChiCk"
Bauries Are Returning.
rBy Evening News stan Correspondent

IBy Evening News stan Correspondent
NEW BRUNSWICK, April IL
Although County Detective Ferd A.
David this morning said there was
nothing new-yet" in the case of
William Lillian and Fred Chick"
Bauries, rumors were persistent on
the street that both of these men
who are wanted by the Middlesex
county authorities are on their way
east from California. Lillian, who
was scheduled to appear for trial
this week on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons, forfeited a $4,000
bond and his arrest was ordered. He
was the driver of a truck loaded
with booze which was located in
Metuchen several months ago.
Bauries has not yet been tried and
it is a question whether he will be
back in time to go on trial early next
week. He has a gambling charge
preferred against him. Both men
are said to have one west on "busi-
ness of vital importance" but the
nature of this business has not been
reported as yet. 1t is believed that
both men have been kept well post
ed by friends here of the develop
ments in the county court and they
have been advised that it would be
good policy for them TO return to
New Brunswick at once.
