TRIED To KILL
MAN IS CHARGE
MataWan Workman in Seri-
GUS Condition., Following
Attack Police Seek 2

MATAWAN, Feb. 6-Louis Bama.
of New York. a Greek employed on
the farm of ID. Halabi in Ravine
Drive. is in a serious condition at
the Monmouth Memorial Hospital
at Long Branch as the result of an
attack upon him on Saturday night
at s o'clock as he vas doing his
work about the farm. The attack,
in which Bama was shot in the cali
of the leg and badly beaten up. is
supposed to be the result of hate
another farmland has against him
because Bama took his position.
According to the story given out
by Chief of Police John Mulsoff to-
day, Bama came to work for Halabi
at a wage considerably less than
Halabi was paying Joseph Charles,
who had been discharged. Charles.
it is said, returned to New York City
but soon after this came back to the
farm md after beating Bama told
him he would be killed If he contin-
ued to work there. Although Charles
wore a mask on this visit Bama
knew him.
Saturday as Bama was doing his
work Charles is said to have return
cd with another Greek known al
Frank, who also formerly worked
on the farm. Both of these men. il
is said, then set upon Bama and
after beating him about the head
shot him in the leg. Bama, then
unconscious, was carried to the
barn and left there for dead. He
was discovered about midnight by
another farmland.
The police were at once notified
and officers Mulsoff and William ii.
Stillwell went to the farm where
they found Bama lying in a pool of
blood. DR.. Willard Erwin a call
ed and upon examination found that
Bama had a bad cut on his head
and a severe wound in his leg. 1t
was necessary to take three stitches
in the cut in Bama's head before he
could be removed to the hospital.
Mr.. Halabi, who resides in Tot
tenville. S. L., was at once notified
of the attempted murder and came
to his. farm here and instructed the
police to get both Charles and
Frank, it being alleged that they
had made the assault upon Bama.
The police are awaiting %instruc-
ton from the prosecutor before
taking further steps in the matter.
Officer Mulsoff said today that the
police know where both Charles and
Frank can be located. officers Null
soft. Stillwell, William Cogan and
William Carney worked on the case.

SHOTS FIRED ON BOOZE
RAIDERS; ARRESTS MADE
CONTINUED from page ~

Continued from age ~
ton and are in full control. Pa
trolman James MCGOWAN reported
hearing five shots fired about 9:15
and went to the dry docks. He in
vestigated there, his report says,
finding about twenty men on the tuS.
He was told the firing had been on
board IL revenue boat, he reported.
A large car was reported to have
stopped in Front street near the dry
docks last night after which the
driver left it and did not return for
several hours. The police were told
of the presence of the automobile
and an officer Investigated but the
car had been removed. 1t is the
belief of the police hat this a
was to have been used in moving
the booze to another hiding place
in the city after it had been landed
from the tugboat.
The number of men guarding the
boat was diminished yesterday
morning, most of those who were
placed on Saturday night leaving
the boat. Word Don spread about
town that only one guard had been
left on the boat. This report $ sup
posed to have been responsible for
The decision to attack the BOAT last
night, as those in the attacking
party probably figured they could
~overpower one guard and make
away with a large part of the booze.
After darkness last night, how
ever. the customs men returned to
The boat, apparently unknown to the
men who planned to take the liquor.
They did not show themselves and
all is thought to have been quiet on
the boat when the small launch con-
t lining the raiders slipped up along
side and those IN the party boarded
the Harbinger only to come face to
face with twenty armed government
men who quickly took them into
cuetody. Men in another boat are
rer orted to have made their get
away following the firing of the
shots caused by n party boarding
the tug.
The boats in which were the men
who planned to seize the booze, ac-
cording to reports, were the property
OF local men engaged for the nighI.
Whether it was their intention to
remove just part of the cases from
the tug or whether the men planned
to make several trips, if not mo-
Tested, so that the entire cargo could
be removed, is a question.
1t is expected that the names of
the men in the raiding party who
were arrested will be announced this
afternoon by the New York customs
office authorities as these men were
taken there as prisoners. The men
were locked up in a shanty at the dry
docks. it is said, while waiting their
transfer to New York.
Although the customs men have
not left the ship since it's arrival
here rumors were heard about the
city yesterday that part of the con
signment had been successfully land
ed and could be purchased from To-
cal men active in the sale of liquor.

ACT TO REGULATE MOVIES
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

In order that the numerous
schools in the state which are not
at present equipped with fireproof
operators booths may not be pre-
vented from taking advantage of
displaying educational motion pic
ture films obtainable at the state
museum, Assemblyman Edward J..
Peterson will tonight introduce an
amendment to the act regulating
vides that it shall be lawful to use
portable moving picture machines
called projectors" if the said pro
jectors" are enclosed in a case
wholly lined with asbestos; if glass
bulb lamps of a capacity not in eX-
cess of five hundred waters are
used; if an automatic device to cut
off the light from the films when
the machine is not in motion is in
use.
The introducer of the bill today
stated that the erection of booths.
approximately seven feet square, as
provided by law involved a great
expense upon the schools of the
smaller districts and hat the mod
ern machines not only embody the
improvements referred to above but
are operated while the asbestos case
is securely locked and in the event
of fire, which is regarded as impos-
sible as the results of tests, the en-
tire machine may be handled the
same as a dress suit case and thrown
from the schoolroom window.
Additional measures of safety in
connection with the protector oper-
alton include the operation of the
machine by an employe of the
board Of education of the district
and that not more than one film in
addition to the reel enclosed in the
shall be allowed in the
schoolroom where the exhibit is in
progress and that extra reel must
be kept in the standard zinc-lined
fireproof container.
