CARL ANDERSON TO
SING HERE TUESDAY

At this time of the year. toward
the end of the winter season and
the beginning OF promising spring,
musicals are particularly delightful
occasions, perhaps because of the
accustomed dullness of the Lenten
season. For this reason, perhaps
more than for any other, the con-
cert to be given by Earl Anderson.
baritone soloist of the Church of
Advent in New York City, in the
Presbyterian chapel next Tuesday
night. will be exceptionally well at
tended by the prominent people of
the town. Mr.. Anderson has a voice
.of which few of the soloists hereto
fore appearing in this city can boast
and his program of songs promises
to be rare treat for all those who
attend. He will be assisted by George
Nause, pianist of this city, who VIII
not only accompany Mr.. Anderson
but play several selections himself.
MIR. Vause scored a remarkable
success in his recent recital in the
high school auditorium in this city
and many will attend the concert
just to hear him perform again. The
proceeds will be used for the benefit
of the organ fund of st. Paul's
Evangelical church of which DIR.
Jacob Ganss is pastor. Tickets have
been out for the past week and these
may be secured from Miss Adele
Williams. chairman of the committee
on arrangements. or any of the
members of the choir.

END FIGHT ON
VAN NESS BODY
Both the Widow and Mother
of Suicide in Charge of the
Body in Roosevelt.

BY Special Correspondent.
ROOSEVELT, Feb. 1.-THE body
of stephen Van Ness. who shot HIM
self in an automobile in Newark
late Tuesday night arrived in this
borough yesterday and was receiv-
ed by his widow and mother at their
rooms in the Roosevelt hotel, where
Van Ness had been staying. Due to
the fact that Van Ness sister resides
in California. 1t has been decided
not to have the funeral services un-
til after her arrival here. The date
of the funeral therefore has been
set for next Tuesday.
Despite the fact that both the
wife and mother made claim for the
body while it was still in Holes
morgue in Newark, this difference
between the two relatives of the
dead man were patched up follow
ing Mrs. Van Ness arrival in the
borough yesterday morning. II is
said that Mrs. Van Ness arranged
with an Irvington undertaken to
take charge of the funeral. while
the mother had engaged u RoOse-
welt undertaken.
From an autopsy performed on
the body by Essex County Physi-
clan Warren it was definitely es-
tablished that the bullet that enter
ed Van Ness head below the rlgnt
ear had passed out through the top
of the skull. This was indicated by
a hole in the top of the automobile.
Following the autopsy. DIR. Warren
pronounced it a suicide.
In an investigation made by the
Roosevelt police at the request Of
Detectives Quinn and Rowe of the
Newark department, 1t was learned
that Van Ness before he sold his
hotel property, sold thirty barrels of
whiskey in bond for $1,000 and de-
posted the money in a Perth Am
boy bank.
1t has been learned that Van Ness
had less than $500 to his credit in |
the bank in which he is said to have |
deposited the money. Van Ness is |
said to have received $500 for his
hotel property about half of which |
was paid to the owners. The rest |
of this amount is unaccounted for it
is said.

TWO KILLED AS BANDITS
BATTLE OVER LIQUOR TRUCK
CONTINUED from page -


From all accounts Saia and two
companions, Benjamin Nielsen, eigh-
teen years old, of II Washington
Court, Brooklyn, and William Capl-
field. seventeen, of Grammercy ave-
nue. and Hemlock Hill, Cyrus Hills,
l.. l., had left the car to get some
gasoline from a nearby garage after
the car had stalled. The oncoming
bandit machine crashed into Sala's
car.
Shortly after the collision a milk
truck came along the road, the
name of the chauffeur not being
known, and three men stopped il
asking that they be taken TO the
New Brunswick hospital. The
chauffeur of the truck consented.
Upon reaching the city the men told
the chauffeur they could go the rest
of the way on foot and asked him
to go back and get another man
who was badly hurt.
The milkman did this and found
a man, almost dead. He rushed
him to st. Peters hospital but the
man died before reaching that in
stitution. This man had .3S
calibre automatic revolver with one
loaded shell in it, the rest having
been fired and also a .3S calibre.
Smith & Weston revolver in which
there were three loaded chambers
and Two empty ones. He had been
shot through the eye. He was
identified as Frank Welsh, a no.
torious bootlegger, by Detectives
Harris and Bell of the Newark po-
lice force this morning. Welsh was
about twenty-five years old.
Both of the wrecked cars We're
r. ~fs.I- t. /,
lieved that the three men who re-
ceived the "lift" from the milbman
were members of the bandit party,
as they did not appear at either
New Brunswick hospital for treat
ment and evidently gave this ex-
cuse for coming to New Brunswick
to the drive so as to get out of that
vicinity.
The theory has been advanced
that Welsh might have been shot
by his own pals after he had been
hurt in the accident in order that he
would be unable to "squeal" to the
authorities. The men on the truck
and those guarding" it have denied
that any OF them were armed. Ii
such was the case they could not
have shot Welsh unless one of the
bandits dropped a revolver in the
u5AL anu II was SCCuICu Dy one Ol
the men on or with the truck
Welsh's revolvers had apparently
been used last night, as examination
of the chambers proved seven oil
eight shots had been fired.
All of the men who know any
thing about the case will be brought
to New Brunswick as soon as posi-
Bile and be questioned by the coun-
ty authorities.
The booze truck was found about
s o'clock this morning at the corner
of Fourth street and Prince street
Newark, where it had been aban-
doned-empty. Where the bandits
hid the booze is a question which
has not as yet been solved.
Hats found near the wrecked au-
| tomobile on the outskirts. of New
| Brunswick bear the names of New
ark hatters, which has led to the
belief that the bandits were Newark
men.
Salamandra, member os the liq-
uor convoy, in his account of the
holdup to police. said his brother

his life with bandit. who spurnet

to let him go.

FERRY PROTEST |
AGAIN HEARD
Wilbur La Roe, Jr., Writes of
DepIorabIe Conditions Here
to Inter-St Commerce.

Wilbur LaRoe, Jr., formerly of
this city. who until last October was
connected with the Interstate Com
merce Commission at Washington,
but now practicing attorney in
that city. has the following to say
concerning the disregard on the part
of the Staten Island Rapid Transit
Railroad Company of the convene
ence of the travelling public and the
Inadequate service rendered by that
company. The letter is addressed
to Edgar Z. Clark, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
and is as follows:
Dear Mr.. Chairman:
"On a recent visit to my home
town, Perth Amboy, N. j., l found
some of my fellow-townsmen much
wrought up over what seems to be
the utter disregard on the part of
the Staten Island Rapid Transit
Railroad Company of the conveni-
ence of the travelling public and the
inadequate service rendered by that
company.
"The Staten Island Rapid Transit
operates through passenger serv-
ice in interstate commerce between
Perth Amboy. N. j., and st. George,
Staten Island, N. Y, at which point
connection is made with the munici-
pal ferry owned and operated by the
City of New York between st.
George and The Battery Between
Perth Amboy and Tottenville the
Staten Island Rapid Transit operates
what is sometimes referred to, for
want of a better name, as a ferry
boat, which connects at Tottenville
with the trains of that company
operating, or purporting to operate,
between Tottenville and st. George.
"The ferryDoat makes trips about
every half hour between Perth Am
boy and Tottenville and the trains
run about every hour between Tot
tenville and st. George. Through
interstate passenger tickets are sold
between Perth Amboy and st.
George. The ferry trip from Perth
Amboy to Tottenville consumes
about five minutes. Large numbers
of passengers travel daily between
Perth Amboy and New York via
this route.
THE principal ground of COM
plant is that no attempt whatever
seems to be made to coordinate the
ferry and train operation. 1t is a
very common occurrence for boat
load of eastbound passengers to ar
rive in Tottenville just in time to see
the st. George train pull out from
the station; and it is an equally COM
mon occurrence for large number
| of west-bound passengers to arrive
in Tottenville only to find that they
have missed the ferryboat by one
| minute or less. l have had this ex-
perience myself and can say that it
| Is most exasperating.
Protests on the part of passen-
gers have availed nothing. / have
| considerable doubt as to the juris-
diction of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to deal with the situa-
tion in a formal way, and l am
writing to inquire whether it would
not be possible for you in an inform
al way to call the situation to the
attention of the railroad authorities.
I assure you that anything you can
! do along this line will be greatly ap-
preciated by the people of Perth
Amboy.
WILBUR LAROE, Jr."

HOY SUGGESTS ACTION ON
new FORDS- -ROGAN'S ROAD
CONTINUED from page -

Financial assistance from the Cot-
fers of the state will be the subject
to be broached by the freeholders
to the state highway department in
Trenton next Monday. Just what
assistance may be given by the state
will probably be then determining
factor as to just what county roads
may come in for extraordinary re-
pairs this year. Nothing definite was
given out in regard to the Jaunt to
the capital city. but the attitude ex-
pressed following yesterdays session
avery road that the freeholders can
ihink OF as being in need of repairs
Eill be brought to the attention of
the state board. in an effort to get
substantial aid from the state.
: Among the roads mentioned,
though it was pointed out that more
might be added. were the Sewaren-
avenuein Raritan township: Main
street Metuchen; widening of Am
boy avenue from Perth Amboy TO
Fords; the Old Bridge -BrowntOwn
road: the thoroughfare leading
from New Brunswick to Livingston
Park; Green street Woodbridge to
Islin; the on-Dunellenroad and
the Aqueduct- Plainsboro-C
road. also the road from Milltown to
Fischer's corner.
The freeholders room had every
appearance yesterday of a conven-
tion of county automobile dealers
though in fact the dealers were
there forthe express purpose OF sub
mitting prices on a two passenger
runnabout which the county con-
tempiares purchasing for the use of
the road supervisor. Eighteen types
of cars were presented. Prices range
from s671.33 to s3,025 with an al
lowance on the old car now in use
ranging from s71.33 TO $500.
Freeholder Robert r. Vandenbergh.
chairman of the finance committee
presented resolutions establishing
the salaries of all county employees
for the year, the rate in all cases re-
naming unchanged. These resolu-
tions. all of which were adopted,
also authorize the payment of the
salaries by county treasurer f. Will
liam Hilker.
The freeholders will meet again
next Thursday at which time it is
expected that some kind of an an
nouncement will be made as TO just
what road building will be under
taken this year.
