Thrifty Convicts
Invest ST a Head
In Savings Stamps

Convicts in the Minnesota PRISON
at Saltwater have set an example
OF thrift which all persons in or out
of jail might do we'll TO emulate,
according TO an official statement
fro mthe Treasury Department yes
terday.
Warden J. J. sullivan. In a letter
to the Savings Division of the Treas
ury Department. announced that in
the months of May, June and July

purchased thrift stamps and war
savings stamps to. the value Of
s7s5.s6, or nearly 81 per capita for
the institution. The prisoners are
paid from e5 cents to so cents a day
by the State for their work. and in
1920 purchased government securi-
ties to the value of nearly $4,000, or

TRACE ASSASSINS
OF M. ERzBERCER
Berlin Officials Offer Re.
ward for Arrest of
Two Men Accused.
By KARL Won wIGAND.

BERLIN, Sept. 13.-After two
weeks of scientific detective work
that recalls the tales of Sherlock
Holmes, the identity of the two as
sassins of Matthias Erzberger has
been established. The police Of
Baden have had the cooperation OF
a special detail from Berlin.
Placards posted today offer a re-
ward OF 100000 marks for the ar
rest OF Heinrich Schulz, 2s years old
and Heinrich Tillesen, 81 years old.
Schulz was a former store clerk
and Tillesen is a former navy Of
fcer. Both belonged to the famous
Erhadrt Marine Brigade, which in
March, 1920, suddenly marched into
Berli nand took possession of the
capital. causing the government to
fee.
States Attorney Schlimm, OF Ba-
den. and Prosecuting Attorney Bur-
ger yesterday went to Munich with
O. staff of detectives and searched
the house where Schulz and Tillesen
had been living. 1t is claimed that
Illuminating evidence was found.
No trace has been found of Schulz
and Tillesen. The fact that the two
assassins anne from Munich does not
tend to allay the feeling of strife
between the North and South in
the present risis, which the Berlin
press today for the first time ad-
mits is grave. The attempt of the
Socialist press to exploit the fact
that the alleged murderers lived for
a time in Munich was like pouring
oil into the political fires.

ARMY TO START
RECRUITING DRIVE
Inaugurate New System to
Increase Forces to
10000.

Recruits are needed for the
United States army to fill the vacan-
cies caused by the number of men
discharged when the officials set II
to reduce the forces to 10000 men.
Recruiting under the new system
will be conducted by the various
posts, stations and camps of the
army that are scattered through the
nine corps areas of the country.
Parties of officers and men are to
be sent to search for the best Of
the young men who wish to enter
or re-enter the army. and to take
them to the nearest post or camp
no general recruiting stations are
to be established under the present
plans.
Youngsters who have not Yet
reached their eighteenth birthday
are not wanted, nor viii they be ac-
cepted. Men who cannot read or
write English are not desired In he
new army. and will not be accepted
for enlistment. The army is to con-
tinue its educational system, but il
is not going to take the men who
cannot read or write.
Enlistments are to be so HANDLED d
that the army will not exceed $780,
900 men at any time. II is expected
that the standard of men obtained
will be the highest that the army
has ever had. That. literally. it will
be hand picked. It is stated that
the allotment system will be used in
obtaining men and that each corps
area will be authorized to enlist
men to fill vacancies only. Reports
will be called for frequently to as
sure that the enlistments do not ex-
ceed the number of vacancies.

SEIANTUNG ALMOST CERTAIN
TO COME UP IN ARMS FARLEY
China's Refusal to Settle Privately With Japan
Raises Big Issue.

between the two countries might
be too long drawn-out and thus
interfere with the Washington
conference, Is believed 10 be much
deeper. The primary reason for
the refusal to enter into negotia-
tions with Japan is one that the
Pekin government would be slow
to announce publicly. and that rea-
son Is based on the internal po-
litical situation in China. This
reason is well understood in
Washington and goes back to the
intense political situation that has
existed in China since the Paris
peace conference. when japan was
awarded the former German rights
in Shantung province.
Rost Of Chinese wrath.
The announcement of this award
in China in 1919 was Immediately
followed by demonstration OF
popular Indignation and agitation
such as China has not seen in
modern times, or at least since
the revolution in 1910, whlch
brought the republic into being.
The first manifestation of this
Indignation was directed toward
the old Anfu government in Pc
king, which the Chinese people be-
lieved to be unpatriotic ana IN
league with Japanese militarists.
After the overthrow Of tn Anfus
and their enforced exile in the
apanese legation in Peklng. where
they fed to save their heads, the
Chinese students then turned their
attention to a nationwide boycott
of japanese goods. This boycott.
although past it's original pictur-
esqueness. is still a silent force in
China and is felt and feared by
Japanese commercial interests.
Would Raise Old Issue.
Should the Chinese government
now enter into private negotiations
with apan on the Shantung ques-
ton, it is altogether possible that
the anti-Japanese feeling would
Immediately fare up again, and no
Peking government could stand
for many days in the face of it.
The Chinese people. at least the
Intelligent commercial interests
and the student organizations. are
now hoping for a just settlement
of China's wrongs at the Wash
ington conference. The very fact
that China has been invited to par
ticipate carries tremendous
weight in China. Should Peking
agree to enter private negotiations
with Japan Immediately. there
would be a renewal of the old
suspicion OF the integrity of their
own officials, and in the face OF
the recent autonomous develop
ment on the part of the Chinese
provincial parliaments. Peking will
take no chances on an overthrow
at this critical stage.

In Murders of Auto J.

CHICAGO. Sept. 10. - Despite
long, detailed confessions BY aar-
vey ". Church and Leon Parks,
that they\ and Clarence BUD
Wilder murdered the two Packard
automobile statesmen. Bernard I.
Daugherty and Carl Ausmus. there
remains an unsolved- mystery in the
crime. This is the identity of the
master mind who planned the
murders.
Detectives feel certain some older
criminal used the three young men
as his tools. There is also a belief
that back of the crime is a syndI-
cate engaged in stealing aut6mo-
biles outright, or buying them
and then robbing the agent Of the
money.
Say Parks Planned Crime.
Church and Parks admit they
went into the deal solely because IL
offered some easy money. Church.
in his second confession. names
Parks as the one who conceived
the plan. The police say. however.
that Church is the superior of
Parks in mentality and that he was
the leader, or the agent OF a Grim
inal higher up.
Parks undertook to repudiate his
confession today. When asked to
sign IL, he at first refused.
IT'S not the truth" he said. Il
won't sign. What I said was not
true"
You're a liar" shouted, Church,
Ieaping to his feet and shaking HIS
fist in Parks face. You know II
is true, every word of It,"
Signs After Delay.
Parks delayed for two hours
longer and then signed. 1T is true

Unable, as in days gone by, to

senator, forsaken in his leadership
on fiscal legislation by members

or tax legislation.

pectation that the soldier bonus bill
would be passed without delay. 1t
has been indefinitely sidetracked by
order Of President Harding.
He announced that a high pro-
tective tariff bill was vital and
would pass this session of Con-
gress. The tariff bill is now in
definitely postponed and President
IIarding's Cabinet officers declare 1t
probably will be found inadvisable

session.

Local Boys Varsity Defeated
By South River High; 31-17

The Perth Amboy high school
boys varsity basketball team bowed
in defeat for the first time this sea-
son on the Parlin court yesterday
afternoon. The South River high
school combination defeated the
Crimson and White representatives
in an interesting game by q score of
Silt.
The Amboy combination started
the game with Sofield, Cohen, Silver,
Widerstrom and Kochek, while
South River lined up with the STAG
kowski brothers, Politika, Ringle
and Marks. Forced to play a differ
ent brand of ball on account of the
difference in court, and with their
best guard on the bench, the Grim
son and White boys went into the
game Handicapped at the start. Tho
South River combination, whipped
into classy shape by Coach Boiler"
Fitzpatrick, soo ran up a comfort
able lead because the entire Amboy
team played Benny Stackowski, the
South River star forward.
\ With the score 11-4 Charley
Hughes replaced Charley Kochek in
guarding Benny Stackowski, but
the damage had already been done.
Stackowski was held scoreless from
1.-THE field for the remainder of the
first session, and scored two long
shots and two short shots in the
second session. Hughes displayed
plenty of pep and got into nearly
every play in the game.
Benny Stackowski was high scorer
for the home team, and his floor
