candidate for alderman-at-large,

the evening at the meeting of the

LESS HOPEFUL
Sim FeinerS Not Satisfied
With Conference of Minis
ters Held Yesterday

LONDON, Sept. 22-Prospect of a
conference between Sim Fein rep
resentatives and members of the
British cabinet at an early date
were declared to be less hopeful as
n result of yesterdays consultation
between Prime Minister Lloyd
George and several of his minister's.
Several of this mornings newspa-
pers reflected this view and reports
from political correspondents at
Gairloch generally agreed that the
ministers showed a more rigid atti-
tude toward southern Ireland.
1t is declared there is a tendency
on the part of cabinet members who
talked with the prime minister
insist that Eamon de Valera for
mally declare his claim that Sim
Fein delegates would enter the con-
ference as representative of a SOW
ereign stat. They are said to urge
that such withdrawal be made be-
fore the government agress to meet
the Irish delegates while some are
declared to have urged that assur-
ances be given by the Sim Fein
that ie the conference meets the
separation issue shall not be raised.
Prime Minister Lloyd George, ac-
cording to the Daily Mail. is taking
on unbending attitude in the face of
the latest Irish communication and
is supported by his colleagues.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 22-
That the white-robed ranks of the
Ku Klux Klan have stretched forth
their grip into Middlesex county
became known yesterday when a
room in the Jersey hotel here was
broken into by the police and typi-
cal "Klansman' equipment discov-
cred. The room had been engaged
by a man known to the hotel pro-
prietor only as "Mr. Bowels" three
weeks ago and for the past week
this mysterious parsonage had been
oddly missing and his room was al
ways locked.
Police headquarters were called
on the telephone yesterday by the
hotel manager with request that
an officer be assigned to investigate
the mystery of the locked room and
the missing roomer. Patrolman
Charles Reilley was detailed to go to
the hotel, gain an entrance to the
room and investigate it.
Door Forced Open.
The police officer went to the
hotel. which is located in Albany
street, and there was Joined by the
manager. The door of the room was
found locked and it was forced open.
No sooner had the two men entered
the room than their eyes met sight
which was evidence enough to show
that the secret organization or the
Ku Klux Klan had been in operation
in this room or else the mysterious
roomer had brought his parapher-
MALTA to this room after conducting
ceremonies at some other place.

Fear2Boys
Drift Away
In A Canoe

Mystery surrounds the failure of
Charles Karsinski, fifteen years old,
of GAG Carlock avenue, this city, and
Herman Larson, fifteen years old, of
Keasbey, to return from a canoe
ride on which they embarked from
the Keasbey dock at o'clock Tues
day afternoon. The canoe. the prop
erty of George Blum, of Keasbey, is
also missing.
Desk Lieutenant William Calvin
received a report from the father of
the Perth Amboy lad in regard to
the incident this morning. 1t is pos
sible that the canoe may be washed
up along the local shore or some
where in this vicinity. According
to the report made to the police, the
canoe is painted red. and is about
ten or twelve feet long.
About year ago a Perth Amboy
lad had quite an experience on the
water, a boat into which he had
climbed, having drifted consider
able distance from here. This boy,
much younger than the boys now re-
ported missing, returned to this city
and boastfully told of his experience.

The first thing to attract the eye
was a large white cross, made OF
wood, upon which there were plainly
visible many finger marks as though
. the cross had been firmly grasped
by those taking an oath. On the
cross were three yellow candles. all
of which had been partly burned. the
wax having dripped onto the wooden
cross in these spots.
A large American flag, with a
bronze spear at the upper end of the
pole, occupied a prominent place in
the room. A gavel was in evidence,
apparently having been used by the
presiding officer during any meeting
which the Klan might have conduct
ed in the hotel.
A sword, having a bronze hilt upon
which was the engraving of a plumed
knight, was also discovered, together
with a scabbard. These articles lay
in full sight, no efforts having beer
made to hide them, giving the ap-
pearance that they occupied their
regular place and that the room was
the place in which meetings had
been held by members of the Klan.
A search was made of the room
for any Klan literature, which
might have been possessed by the
mysterious roomer, but none was
found. A considerable amount of
heavy wrapping paper was found
in one corner of the room, it having
apparently been used at one time to
cover some large object 1t was
tied with heavy cord and the name
"R. G. Bowels" could be read on it.
having been written in pencil.
The police are going ahead with
the investigation today. Chief
O'Cornell declaring that he had no
reason to believe up until this time
that the Ku Klux Klan had been
active in or near New Brunswick.
All of the articles found in the room
were removed to the police station.
Probe by the Police.
The investigation by the police to-
day revealed the fact that on Sep
tember 6 a man registered as r. c..
Bowels and was assigned the room

LEO Goldberger. Esq,
CITY Attorney.
Perth Amboy, N. ].
Dear Mr.. Goldberger:
II have yours of the 18th instant.
I am not able to state definitely
when the engineers will have final
plan. You see, it Is being prepared
jointly by the Central. Lehigh Val-
ley, Pennsylvania. and the engineer
of the Board of Public Utility Conn
missioners. and just as soon as they
have things in such shape as to be
useful for the committee of City off,
cials to look over. will let you
know.
VERY truly yours,
GEO. HOLMES, I
Attorney" Il
In view of the fact that the three
railroads are working Jointly on the
plans, the opinion has been formed
since the receipt of the letter, that
the possibilities of a union station
here are greater than ever. The un.s
ion station is one of the big things
that has been advocated here in the
past and the fact that the three rail-
roads are working jointly on the
plans. makes it appear as If some-
thing of this sort is contemplated.
Railroad men living and working
in this section point out that the
task of either elevating or depress-
ing the rails through this city Is q
gigantic one because of the many
switches and places where one rail-
road crosses the other. Bridges on
either side of the city also adds cOns
siderable complication to the task
No one seems to be willing to .expresI
an opinion as to what course the en
gineers of the railroad company VII
take in eliminating the CROSSINGS.
City Attorney Goldberger said yess
! terday that as soon as the railroad
company has submitted the plans for
| the elimination of the crossings he
will take up with City Engineer Nor
gan f. Larson, the necessity of com-
| pleting F'ayette street. At the pres
ent time this street is divided by the
! railroad tracks which makes it im-
possible for one to go from one end
of the street to the other. without
going into Smith street or New
Brunswick avenue in order to cross
the railroad tracks.
According to the city attorney. the
connecting of the dead ends of this
street will be an easy task when 1t is
| ascertained how the railroads will
i eliminate the crossings. With the
street connected it will lead from the
sound to Clifford street a distance Of
two-t thirds of mile. Mr.. Goldberger
claims that Fayette street will then
be able to take much Of the heavy
traffic which now is forced to use
Smith and Market streets In order to
get to the state bridge over the Rar1-
| tan river.
