PROBE: EXCEEDS
APPROPRIATION
Mackay Committee Com
pIetes Hudson County In
vestigation.
lBy Evening News Correspondent. ]

TRENTON. May 9.-The Mackay
committee, which has just complet-
ed its probe into Hudson county at
fairs. filed its report with State Ii
brarian Croasdale today, showing its
total expenses to date are $13,435.53.
Inasmuch as the committee was
given but $4,000 for it's work, it
has exceeded its appropriation by
s3,345.53.
A singular feature of the report
is that but two signatures of the
committee are attached. those of it's
chairman, Senator William b. Mack
ay, Of Bergen county, and Speaker
of the House George S. Hobart, of
Essex. The name of Assembly Il.
Parry Rowland. of Camden, was APP
parently added and then erased.
Other members of the committee
were Senators White, of Atlantic;
Republican. and Kays. of Sussex,
Democrat. and Assemblyman Loori
Republican. of Hudson. The latter
refused to sign the report, just as
did Kays, the Democratic member.
Just why White and Rowland are
not added is unexplained.

pected to Be Made Today.

WASHINGTON, May 9:-Formal
reports on the result of the vote
taken by marine workers on accept
ance of the terms submitted by the
department of labor for settlement
of the wage dispute were expected
to be made by Secretary Davis to-

expressed disappointment at the re-
ported action of members of the
Marine Engineer Beneficial Associa-
ton on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts in rejecting the vote taken
yesterday, the fifteen per cent. wage
reduction and the bonus plan, while
accepting other provisions of the
statement, they were hopeful that
the decision vesting the organiza-
tions executive committee with fun
power to negotiate settlement left
the way open to an early ADJUST
ment.

BERLIN, May 9-National COM
nitteemen of the majority socialists
and democratic parties gathered
here today to discuss the attitude
those organizations would take con-
cerning the internation"l situation
resulting from the presentation of
the allied ultimatum regarding the
allied reparations.
There was hope that an agree
ment would be reached by the two
parties TO participate in the for
nation of cabinet to succeed that
of konstant Fahrenbach which re-
signed last week.
DIR Mayer. German ambassador
to France, declined an invitation of
President Ebert to form a ministry
and the German Peoples party con-
tinues its attitude of reserve. The
leader of the latter organization,
Dr. Gustav Stressemann is strongly
opposed to acceptance of the allied
terms. DR.. Mayer has been conferr-
| ing with members of the Reichstae
attempting to show the signing OF
the allied demands is necessary.

The holdup occurred about 1890
O'Clock when Garret Cartan, the

ing up the cash for the day. About
an hour prior to the holdup. young
man, a stranger in the town. walked
into the store and asked to see some
trousers. These were shown to him
but were not what he wanted and he
went out. At 10:30 o'clock he again
entered the store and pointing a gun
at the four clerks still remaining in
the establishment, demanded that
they hold up their hands.
Going to the cash register he fail
ed 10 get it open, and asked one OF
the clerks how to open it. He was
given the desired information and
after taking the money from the reg

NEW BRUNSWICK, May o.
County Detectives William Fitzpat-
rick and Ferd A. David are endea-
voring to learn the whereabouts of
Shubel X. Silver. of Raritan street,
this city. treasurer of the First Re-
formed church in Nelson street. who
disappeared last Wednesday with six
$1,000 Liberty Bonds, the property
of the church. and Miss Adele Guvin.
of 1T Fayette street, Perth Amboy.
Circulars are being printed with the
pictures of the people, containing
particulars in the case, and these will
be sent to all parts of the country.
Silver came from Albany and mar
ried into a New Brunswick family.
They have two sons. one twenty
years of age and the other sixteen.
He lived with his family until last
Wednesday when he disappeared.
The Guvin girl is eighteen years
old and for time was empivyed as a
waitress in a lunch room in Perth
Amboy.
The charge against Siver is one of
embezzlement, Rev. Joseph Hogan,
the pastor OF the Reformed church.
having sworn out a warrant for the
treasurer's arrest. The bonds We're
taken from safety deposit box
which the church rents in the Ma
tional Bank of New Jersey.
According to bank officials the last
time this box was opened, prior to
the discovery of the loss of the
bonds, was three weeks ago when
Siver, accompanied by Q. o. Still
man, trustee of the church, made
nm inventory of the contents of the
box in order to make report. I'm
der ruling of the church the treas
urer was permitted to open the
safety deposit box only when ac-
companied by a trustee of the
church. Mr.. Stillman, when Ques-
toned as to whether the bonds were
returned by Silver three weeks ago,
was positive all of the securities had
been returned to the vault.
H. G.. Parker. president of the
bank, however, declared that the
box had not been opened since that
occasion, until last week when the
, loss was discovered.
Siver was prominent church
member in New Brunswick and held
a position of responsibility and trust
with the American Foreign lnsur-
ance Association, of 50 William
street, New York City. His accounts
with that company have been gone
over and found correct.
At one time Silver was manager CT
the Perry Wallpaper Company's
store in Perth Amboy. 1t is believed
that it was while he held this posi-
ton in Perth Amboy that he became
acquainted with Miss Guvin. who is
eighteen years and attractive.
According to the information Sc
cured thus far by the county detec-
tives the couple left Perth Amboy
about o'clock last Wednesday af-
ternoon in a roadster. Since that
time nothing has been learned of
their movements. When she left
the young woman was attired in a
dark skirt, light shirtwaist, a sailor
- and a blue coat. She is bru-

DID YOU DREAM
OF ROOTS9

Some OF tho mystic interpreters see
In n dream OF roots an omen of stable
fortunes: pcrmancncy in position.
Others. however. look rather askarcc
n, this dream and while admitting that
it may bo n good omen to dream OF
seeing tho roots OF trees. consider that
to dream Of the roots OF plants is n
warning OF poverty or at least an
admonition TO practice economy II ono
would avoid financial difficulties.
Some of tho oracies are silent as to a
dream OF merely seeing roots and de-
vote their attention entirely to n
dream of eating them. Many Of these
mystics say u dream OF eating roots Is
sign that the dreamer has many en-
vious people among his. or her. ac-
quaintanccs who bcErudgo the dream
or his. or her. position as regards So
ciai standing or worldly prosperity.
others say that dream OF eating
roots signifies feminine trcachcry.
Still others say that to dream of cat
Ing the roots of vegetables has tho
general adjudication OF disorders in
ones affairs. Tho dream Is an ndmoni-
ton to business man that no should
look moro carefully after his business
or matters will get into u ,anHlc. One
who dreams OF roots OF any sort should
not engage in games OF chance or in

ENGINE UNSTEADY AT LOW
SPEED

w. r. A. f. writes: Please tell me
why nv car runs jerkily at speeds
below Is miles per hour while it op-
crates finely at higher speeds. Car
buretor-jet and adjustment, ignition
and compression have all been inspect
ed without finding the cause. I can
make the car run si~oothly, down to
miles per hour by keeping my foot
slightly pressed on the clutch pedal.
Answer: We cannot be sure as to
the cause of the missing. at low
throttle. which produces this jerky
motion, but the most usual reason for
it is the imperfect operation OF the
low speed Jet OF the carburetor. Al
though you say that this has been
checked up, you cannot be too certain
about it. The next most likely rea-
son is slight air-leaks into the intake
system. These intereferc with regular
running at low speeds. but do not
bother when the throttle is well open.
You better be sure that all intake con-
nections arc tight When you let the
clutch slip. the engine no doubt runs
fast enough TO stop skipping although
II moves the car only slowly. You
realize. We suppose. that much of this
clutch slipping will wear out your
clutch facing.
