|CALL EX-STUDFNTS | AID CHURCH DRIVE

A special day for alumni and ex- students of church schools will be ob- served Sunday at the First Methodist church, according to an announce ment today by Rev. C. M. Reyes, the pastor. It will be part of the pre- paration for the Christian education movement, which is now the foremost task set for Southern Methodism.
 Alumni and former students will have charge of the program. Miss Myrtle Charles will represent the wom- en graduates and former students, and Harvey T. Harrison will represent the men.
 The idea of the service is to bring together all of the graduates and former students of church schools re- siding in Conway. These are request ed to attend the service and to occupy seats which will be reserved for them. There are about 300 alumni and form CT students of Hendrix residing in Conway. Galloway College of Searcy is also counted upon to have a large delegation at the service, and other church schools of the south will have smaller representation.
 Mrs. T. s. Staples asks all former students and graduates of Galloway who can attend the service, to phone her at No. 51. It is very much de- sired to have the entire number pre-. sent for the service.

EDWARDS VETOES ENFORCEMENT ACT,
SAYS IT WOULD AROUSE B|TTEREST
RESENTMENT ALL OVER THE STATE

Trenton, March 23.-The recent act
passed by the legislature making it
legal to enforce the Volstead act in
New Jersey by methods the most
drastic of any state in the country,
Including the searching of homes, was
today vetoed by Governor Edwards
who declared that the provisions of
the bill were of such character as to
have only one effect, viz, to arouse in
the great majority of the people the
bitterest resentment.
The features of the bill to which
he objects are those denying the right
of trial by jury to violators of the dry
law, forfeiture of property and leases
as penalties for violation, and the au-
thorizing of enforcement agents to
break into private property for the
purpose of searching for liquor. The
governor said that the bill had been
framed in such drastic terms" that
he could not approve it. With refer
eence to the elimination of trial by
jury the veto message said that it
would set up condition of judicial
and official tyranny in this state,
which Mr.. Edwards declared gave him
no little concern. Speaking further
on the subject, the veto message de-
clared:
81 cannot give my consent to the
adoption of such policy by the state.
1t is my belief that no one should be
placed in peril of being deprived of
his liberty for any considerable pc
riod of time without the submission
of the fact of his innocence or guilt
to jury. Nesting of power in magis-
!. trates to hear. and determine the in
nocence or guilt of accused persons,
and to sentence them for short periods
not to exceed one month, might per-
haps be defended on the score of eco
nomical and speedy administration of
justice when petty offences only are
involved, but to extend the practice to
the imposition of sentences resulting
in confinement for six months, it
seems to me, institutes an exceedingly
dangerous practice, and is blow at
an institution which has served free
countries for centuries
With the legislature having two
more weeks to go, it is expected that
the Anti-Saloon League, which is be-
hind the bill, will now bend it's eff
forts for passage over the governors
veto.

Big Auto Smash
On Arcola Road

A man and woman were sent to
the Miriam Barnert Memorial Hospital,
both seriously injured, as the result of
an automobile clash, late last We'd
nesday night in the Arcola road, in
Arcola. The injured are Jeanette
Breen of York street, Jersey City, who
suffered conclusion of the brain, and
Amos Conway Of Clinton street, Jer-
sey City. Although diagnosis has not
yet been made of Conway's injuries, it
is believed he has a fracture of the
skull. One other man, riding in the
machine which Conway was driving
was also treated in Barnert Hospital.
He refused to give his name.
The second automobile was driven
by William Seymour of 1856 Park ave-
nue., Paterson. Seymour was not in
jured. Seymour was travelling toward
Paterson and said he did not see the
Conway machine approaching him be-
cause the latter had no lights. He also
claims the car was on the wrong side
of the road.
Both vehicles were wrecked. The
injured persons were picked up by a
passing automobile and rushed to the
hospital before the ambulance reached
the scene.-News.

Boy, IS, Piqued;
Hangs Himself

Because he wasn't invited to see a
real wedding" as he expressed it,
and because his little chum was, Henry
Wadsworth Smith, the thirteen-year-
lod son of Borough Clerk William FL.
Smith of Glen Rock, hanged himself
to the foot of his bed Saturday eve-
ming. He was dead when his mother,
five minutes later, found him. His
body was still warm.
The cause of the suicide was not
known until yesterday, when George
Cummings, aged twelve, Henry's chum,
hearing of tn tragedy, called ON Mr..
Smith and told him of Henry's threat,
'If l don't go to the wedding I'll choke
myself"
The wedding was that of Mrs. Jane
Chappell, who lived directly across
from the Smith residence, and J. r.
Saturday afternoon.
Henry is known to have gone to the
Chappell home and peeked into the
parlor window during the ceremony
1t is believed that upon seeing his lit
tie chum in the room he went directly
home and ended his life, strangling
himself with a necktie.
Henry was something of pet with
Mrs. Chappell and his failure to get an
invitation to her wedding is thought
to have preyed on his mind. He was
an exceptionally bright boy and be-
loved by all who knew him, and his
sad and untimely end was keen
shock to the wedding party and the
mmunity-Record.

Aluminium Co.
May Close Down

1t is reported here that Aluminium
Company's plant, at Edgewater will be
closed down indefinitely on April 1, the
reason being that the cost of produc-
ton is too high.
For the past several weeks hundreds
of men have been laid off, leaving, it
Is estimated, only fifteen hundred on
the payroll of this big organization.
The company recently erected one of
the largest factory buildings in the
State of New Jersey on the Edgewater
site costing, it is said, over a million
dollars. 1t was planned to employ
about six thousand men when the fac
tory was in full operation.
The shutdown of the works will mean
big loss to Edgewater and to other
points where the men employed in the
plant come from.-News.

DAYLIGHT H0LDUP IN FA|RvIEW
WHEN BANDITS Get $500 CASH
FROM OFFICIALS OF BLEACHERY co,

One of the most daring rObberies
that ever took place In Bergen county
occurred on Thursday morning last
about s 80 O'clock In Fairview in the
grounds of the plant of the Bellman
Brook Bleachery Company. Some of
the officials had gone to Englewood
where $500 in bills was drawn from
bank for the weekly payroll. This
money was in a cloth bag in bills of
S., $40 and $50. In addition to the
cash the robbers took the touring car
and made their escape in it. AS the
officials drove inside the grounds of
the plant, the thieves stopped the car
on the long driveway, and commanded
them to get out of the car, leaving the
money inside. There were three young
men about tWenty-seven to twenty
eight years of age and young woman,
and one of them in his amazing i'm
pudence told Mr.. Brooks, secretary Of
the company, to take a good look at
him so he would know him when he
saw him again. Two of the bandits
were seen by the officers of the COM
pany as they drove in. They were
lounging near the entrace on the in
side of the grounds, and though pis-
tol was in the car, it was not sup
posed that such bold holdup could
take place there.
The whole county got the alarm
shortly after it took place through the
sheriff's Office, aad also through the
various police stations. 1t is believed
that the men at some time worked in
the bleachery. No trace whatever was
found of the bandits.

ment in the brief intermission of which
