ORDINANCE PLANNED Hope Again Reuiued
ON PUBLIC DANCES For Peace In Ireland

Commenting still further on the
incident of Thursday night Chief
Tonnesen said the law did not stop
people from holding dances and that
he was ignorant of the fact that a
dance had been held Thursday night
until the stabbing was brought to
his attention.
Thomas Dongara. held here with
out bail, charged with the stabbing,
had his history taken this morning
by Captain of Detectives Lawrence A.
Long and was taken to the county
Jail at New Brunswick Immediately
afterward.
Additional evidence discovered
against Dongara as given out by the
police, consists of two clean cut Sits
through the fabric of the right hand
trousers pocket, continuing on
through the trousers themselves. The
slits are about three-fourths of ali
inch in length and coincide almost
exactly when placed together. These
apertures through pocket and trous-
ers give rise to the belief that the
stabbing was done through the poe
ket being, still further strengthened
by the fact that Kelly's wounds are
in the abdomen at about the height
of a mans pocket. Dongara denies
all knowledge of the stabbing and
maintains that he tore the trousers
accidently.
Kelly's condition was reported to
be about the same at the hospital
this morning.

WA ASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The de-
cided improvement in the general
credit situation all over the United
States was the most noteworthy fea-
ture of business during September,
it is asserted in the Federal Reserve
Boards monthly report of business,
financial, crop and industrial condi-
tions for September issued today.
Wholesale and retail conditions all
over the country are reported to have
been improved as a consequence of
the advance to twenty cents a pound
in the price of cotton which brought
about healthy liquidation of credit
in the cotton belt.
Taken all in all, the month of
September has been in the main a
period of distinct encouragement
and gives promise of better condi-
tions as the autumn and winter ad-
vance" says the report.
Many lines of manufacture con-
tinued to show improvement
during September, with increased or
ders and reduction in unemployment.

in August an advance has occurred
since then. Steady increase in the
number of men employed has TAX

Textile manufacturing has been
well sustained during September, the
board reports. and the boot and shoe
industry was notably active.
Prices as a whole continued to ad-
vance during September. Railroads
have begun to increase the number
of their employees to some extent.
There was no appreciable change
in condition of agricultural crops
during September. the composite
of all crops on September
l being 92.9 per cent of their average
on that date during the last
ten years. as compared with 93 per
cent. on August 1.
The board reports the smallest ap-
pie crop since 1890: the smallest de-
ciduous first crop in a generations; a
cent. tobacco crop: but a watermel-
on crop far exceeding the average.
Production of bituminous coal in

weeks the consumer has displayed
