'uit that Mayor rrann X. Schwab enforce the law which prohibits the operation of iitney buses without permission of the public service commission The mayor replying to show cause order con- tended that the company had not yet restored normal service and that the emergency which justified him in granting permits to the jitneys still exists.
 The legal battle upon which the company rests its hope of defeating the strike which has been in progress since July 1 followed a night of the worst rioting that has thus far marked the strike. One man was killed two others were shot and sev- eral conductors and motormen were injured by flying missiles in a series of attacks on cars throughout the city.
 The first life sacrificed in the strike was that of John Chrosniak, 30 years old. a striking conductor. He was instantly killed when a po- liceman fired three shots from a riot gun after a crowd had attacked Sycamore street car. The same vol ley wounded Casmir kissiwaski and Harold Lang.
 The policeman fired after the crowd had broken in the windows of the front vestibule and after a bottle of acid had been thrown on the motor man who was badly burned about the face and may lose his sight.
 Nearly every section sof the city saw bombardment of night cars by crowds armed with stones and other missiles. g

HEAD At CONVENTION

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 1.-Su-
preme Knight James A. Flaherty in
his opening address at the forteth
international convention OF the
knights of Columbus today denied
that a single cent of the war fund
of the Knights of Columbus was be-
ing used in the American history
movement of the order or in the well
fare work. -,
II condemn most emphatically'
he said, 1.-The vicious and insidious
propaganda which alleges that the
war fund of the Knights of Column
bus is being put to use in the his
torical and welfare work of the or

K. of C. war fund has been devoted
to these or any other movements
not directly related to the welfare
of the American service men.
Mr.. Flaherty stated that Pope Plus
XI had confirmed the request of the
late Pope Benedict that the Knights
maintain welfare work in Rome. The
supreme council had voted one mill
lion dollars to do this. A special
message from the pope to the con-
vention will be delivered by Edward

CANNON AGAIN
IN THEF!GHT
Say He Will Oppose Hagerty
for Democratic State Com
mitteeman

Who is to be the Democratic state
committeeman for Middlesex county.
This is the question that is being
asked in political circles about the
county today. 1t is a well known
fact that a fight is now being made
for this important Office by both
County Clerk Bernard M. Cannon
and Thomas Haggerty, of New
Brunswick. For the past several
years Haggerty has held this honor
and has been successful in directing
the party. and from his friends
comes the word that he will be re-
tained to lead the party to success
in the coming campaign.
However, Cannon has let it be
known that he desires this office and
it is understood that he is putting
up a stiff fight to oust Haggerty and
gain control himself. The general
opinion is that Cannon has mapped
out a campaign to win this honor
In this is also seen a move on Gan
mons part to assume the leadership
of the Middlesex Democracy.
County Clerk Cannon and Hagerty
have been close personal friends fol
the past twenty years. but accord
ing to political followers, there il
liable to be a break between them
at any time. Mr.. Hagerty has beer
a member of the state committed
for the past four years and has serv-
ed his party as county chairman for
fourteen. Many of his friends have
urged him, it is said to give up the
county Craftsmanship and represent
the party alone on the state COM
mittee. 1t is expected that he Will
announce his candidacy within the
next few days.
Important developm ents in the
matter will take place shortly as only
a short time remains for the filing of
petitions with the secretary of state.

RAR|TAN RIVER
OUTLOOK POOR.
Adverse Report on Improve
ments From Sayreville to
D. & R. Canal

According to a public notice given
out today by the Board of Engineers
fo. Rivers and Harbors, of the War
Department, this board is not con-
vinced of the advisability OF the
United States undertaking any ad-
ditional improvement to the hari-
tan river between the mouth of the
Washington Canal at Sayreville anu
the outlet lock of the Delaware and
Raritan Canal at New Brunswick.
The river and harbor act, APP
proved June 8, 1920, contained pro-
vision for a preliminary examina-
ton of the Raritan river. This was
made and pursuant to favorable
recommendation thereon, q survey
was authorized. The report of the
district engineer on the survey rec
ommends the modification of the
existing project so as to provide for
a channel twelve feet deep at mean
low water and 100 feet wide, in
creased at the bends. between
Sayreville and New Brunswick. This
rerort was referred to the Board OF
Engineers for Rivers and Harbors
its decision which is not in favor
of the project.
Three reasons are given by the
pOeti lOi IhNAA " dPPIOtC
of the work: First, that the existing
project depth of ten feet at mean
low water, with a tidal range OF
about five feet, is sufficient to ac-
commodate an extensive commerce;
second, that the work of further inn
provement would be very expensive
as it would consist mainly of rock
excavation and, third, that the re-
sulting benefits to commerce would
no. apparently be commensurate
with the cost of the Improvement.
All parties interested in the pro-
posed improvement are invited TO
submit, within period of thirty
days from today, statements and
arguments bearing upon the neces-
sity for the improvement in the in-
terests of commerce and navigaticn.
These statements should be address
ed to 1.-The Board of Engineers for
Rivers and Harbors, Munitions
Building, Washington, ID. c." Should
hearing be desired this can be arr
ranged by correspondence with the
board.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) ):-E,xecutives of six
federated shopcrafts went into con-
ference today to consider President
Harding's proposals for a settlement
of their strike. Chairman Van Huber,
of the railroad labor board, was pre-
sent at the meeting. He was met
at the train on his return from a
conference with the President and
escorted to the conference by A. ..
Wharton, labor member of the board
and b. NJ. Jewell, head of the shop
craft.
Mr.. Huber said that originally he
had no intention of being present
at the conference but that he decid-
ed to do so when urged by Mr..
Wharton and Mr.. Jewell. He said
he had no message to transmit from
President Harding and refused to
discuss the strike other than to say
he did not plan any immediate ses-
sion of the labor board in connection
with it.
At Chicago were most of the nine
ty general chairmen of the shop
