An argument over the sale of some

charged with the stabbing.
Although reports received at police
headquarters were to the effect that
many of those present were intoxi-
Gated and that many in the hall had
booze in their possession, one OF
those in charge of the dance today
denied all Of these. He said there
were no drunks on the floor and
there was not pint of liquor in the
building. He admitted that he had
been told Dongara had quart bot
tie of booze on his person which he
was attempting to sell, however. The
dance, according to the Haynes man,
was orderly, there were no argumets
and many did not know that any
thing out of the ordinary had occur
red He admitted that a dance held
a week ago by the Elite Social Club
had been a rough affair in which
both men and women were drunk
and several fights took place during
the night. but said none of those
who conducted the Elite affair were
connected with the dance last night.
The attack on Kelly took place in
the mems rest room, and, accord

Dongara had the quart bottle in hi

Dali Eireann Cabinet Looks
for Answer Today on Con-
ference Invitation
LOOK FOR ACCEPTANCE
Eamon de Valera Conferred
With Colleagues Over Lloyd
Georges Latest Note

DUBLIN, Sept. 30.-(By The As
sociated Press) Sim Fein Ireland's
answer to the invitation to a confer
ready for the Dali Eireann cabinet
when it meets here today. Eamon
de Valera, leader, conferred with
colleagues after receiving Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges note yester-
day and it was believed the reply was
decided upon during the afternoon.
Satisfaction with the zone of the
communication expressed by Sim
Fein leaders yesterday gave the pub
lie reason to believe the cabinet
would accept the invitation. Mr..
Lloyd George declared the British
government would receive the Irish
delegates as the spokesInen of the
people they represent. but his note
seemed to place no other condition
on the holding of the conference.
The very phrase quoted. however,
appeared to be regarded as giving
ground for criticism. The critics of
this phraseology here regarded it as
ambiguous and as possibly limiting
the status of the delegates.
The Dali cabinet meeting was set
o'clock this afternoon, and ii
was not expected the reply would be
dispatched before 6 p. NJ. with the
probability that it would not be given
out for publication for some time
afterwards.
There were no especial activities

other leaders not arriving until after

Ratification by Reichstag

other, the statement was somewhat
cortradicted yesterday, when the
director of the board, William S Dey
said, I'VE are on record here as Civ
ing the people what they want, now
let's Go it,"
Freeholder Fred Orpen heartily
endorsed the suggestion that the gov
erning body of Metuchen be invited
to attend the bid opening, and ST. .ed
that if the type advertised for was
really unsatisfactory. the bids could
be rejected and the work readvertis-
ed for.
Concrete roads without a patent
pavement top must be well thought
of in Metuchen, as South Main street
is now being paved at the borough
expense, with a reinforced concrete
road.
Just what attitude Metuchen folks
may express in the matter is rather
doubtful. as the paving by the coun-
ty. of North Main street, is looked
at more as a campaign promise and
vote-getter than u realty.
18th a concrete pavement being
built in the southern end off Metu-
chen without county aid, it is fore
gone conclusion that the same type
would prove highly acceptable In the
northern part of town where the
county will bear half of the expense.

to a committee of the board of free
holders, who made an inspection
there last week. according to the re-
port made by Freeholder George
S. Applegate.
The magazine area was visited, the
conditions of storage were noted and
the fire fighting apparatus as well as
the patrolling system were inspect
ed. Thirty-three guards are on duty
that number being sufficient in the
minds of the committee.
Exception was taken by the free
holders to the six inch wooden pipes
used for conveying water to the fire
hydrants. they feeling that these
pipes should be Immediately replaced
by cast iron pipes. In this connec-
ton the officers at the arsenal agreed
that the replacement would prove
more efficient.
A resolution, indorsing the change
in the type of pipe, was unanimous-
ly passed by the freeholders yester-
day, and the matter will be taken up
Immediately with the authorities at
Washington.
Copies of the resolution We're or
