is BARRELS ARE TAKEN

[By Evening News staff Correspondent
NEW BRUNSWICK, May 2S:-
The activities of Prosecutor Joseph
E. Stricken and County Detective
Ferd David in South Jersey today,
and the work of the county detec-
tives and South River police last
night, when sixteen barrels purport-
ing to contain liquor were seized in
a barn in South River, will probably
result in the breaking up of one of
the biggest bootlegging gangs in the
state of New Jersey. A number of
arrests will probably be made upon
the return of the prosecutor and the
county detective from the investiga-
tion trip in South Jersey.
The liquor seized in South River
last night was taken to New Bruns-
wick in a big covered moving van
by the county detectives and placed
in the basement of the courthouse
A heavy guard has been placed
around the building where the liquor
is stored to be in readiness in case
any attempt is made to seize the
liquor.
A written statement believed to
have been made by the prosecutor
and given out by Anthony SilZer
clerk of the prosecutor. was the only
report given out by the prosecutor s
Office of these activities.
The report follows:
This morning about 8 o'clock
Detectives David. Collins and Fitz-
patrick seized sixteen barrels pur-
porting to contain liquor in a barn
in South River. The liquor was re-
Gently stolen from a place on the
outskirts of South River and stored
in the barn. The owner. who had
no legal right to the possession OF
the same, demanded of the parties
who had taken it that it be return
ed; 1t was stolen two or three days
ago. Arrangements for the return
were under way and the liquor was
to be moved during last night. The
detectives interviewed and the sixteen
barrels were taken in charge and
are now in the custody of the prose-
cutor The names of the parties in
volved are known to the authori-
ties, but it is deemed best not to
disclose their identity at this time.
Chief Eberwein of South River and
his men assisted in the seizure. The
prosecutor and Detective David left

Local Assembyman Announc-
es himself as Republican
Candidate for Re- election

Assemblyman Edward j. Peterson
of this city has announced his inten-
ton of being a candidate for reelec-
tion at the fall election. He was elect
ed last fall on the Republican ticket.
According to a statement issued by
him. he has been presented with
petitions signed by many friends re-
questing him to again run for office,
and after several conferences with
county Republican leaders, has de-
cided to again be candidate.
Having been presented with pc
titions in which the leading MEM
bers of my party within the imme-
diate vicinity of my home city have
endorsed me as their choice as can
didate for one of the regular Repub-
lican nominations for Member of
the General Assembly and having
been in conference with a number of
the leading Republicans of the coun-
ty at New Brunswick yesterday af-
ternoon all of whom assured me
of their support, I have decided
to again announce myself as a can
didate for reelection to the lower
branch of the state legislature.

act on my part during the recent
make no promises other than to
support the platform of my party
and to serve my constituents, re-
gardlesS OF their political beliefs, to
the utmost of my understanding
and ability. Every act on my part
during the past session was repre-
sentative of the wishes of the ma
jority of my constituents and the
result, my election or rejection by
the voters of this county, will de-
termine whether the masses who ex-
ercise their right of suffrage do so
in the hope of governing through
their duly elected representatives, or
whether they desire to be governed
by an insignificant minority who
seek the enactment of legislation for
their personal gain at the expense of
the majority.

besides the members and alumni

SAY INCREASES
ARE JUST|F led
Pierce & Son Reply to Petition
of Tenants in Letter to the
Board of Aldermen.

Claiming that they were perfect
ly justified in increasing the rents
of certain tenants in houses owned
by them in the vicinity of Fayette,
Rector and Jefferson streets. Pierce
e Son, Inc, last night had letter
of explanation before the aldermen.
About one week ago the aldermen
had referred to them by Alderman
Albert G. Waters a petition given to
him by thirteen tenants of Pierce
IL Son. stating that their rents had
been increased. effective June l.,
from fifteen to thirty per cent. An
investigation by the aldermen into
the case to see if the proposed in
creases were justified was asked.
Last night the following letter was
received by the aldermen and re-
ferred to the committee of the whole
for action:
John N. Wester. President,
Board of Aldermen.
MY Dear Sir-I feel 1t necessary
to make a statement of facts con-
corning notices sent tenants on Rec
tor street, of increase in rent. The
premises in question are seven-room
houses. They contain water and
gas. At the present time the rent
is $27 month and we pay the
water rents. The land is 25x75 feet
in depth. The houses are in good
condition and perfect repair. We
have recently spent about 5000 in
repairs. 1t appears upon investi-
cation that one of our tenants with
whom we have had great deal of
trouble and annoyance circulated a
petition and visited each tenant in
the block asking them to sign the
same. The tenant in question al
lowed their water bill to run up to
$28 for three months, whereas the
usual water bill is s. for three
months on a double house in the
block. We will be very glad to go
with any member of the committee
and show the premises in question.
The other two increases were asked
of tenants at the corner of Jefferson
street and Willocks lane. These are
five room houses at present rent
ing for S19 a month and we are
asking $20.50 of these tenants.
I'VE feel that we are perfectly
justified in asking the above-named
increase and we now have a list of
desirable tenants who have asked us
to notify them at once should any
vacancy occur at the rent asked.
VERY respectfully submitted
"Owners."
