COAL OPERATORS TO ACT
WITH MINERS ON WAGES

NEW YORK, March 15.-Anthra-
cite miners and operators were pre-
pared today to begin negotiations for
new wage agreement to take the
place of the two-year contract which
expires at the end of this month.
The ninteen demands of the miners
formulated at Shamokin, Pa, in jan
uary, and ratified by the interna-
tional convention at indianapolis last
month, are to be formally presented
to coal operators, who are expected
to make statement of their position
Friday.
The miners are asking for a twenty
per cent, increase in contract rates,
among other things, while the mine
owners are on record as favoring a
decrease below the present working
basis.
1t is not expected that an agree
ment will be reached before the end
of this month and in that event the
scale committee of the hard coal
workers is under Instructions of the
Shamokin convention to order sus-
pension of mining until an agreement
is in sight.
Shortage, of anthracite coal is not
expected unless the suspension
should run into the summer, which
is not looked for by the miners.

LETTER OFFERS
MURDER CLUE
Tells of Attempt on Life by
His Wife in Letter to
Sister
ARRESTS LIKELY TODAY
Brunen Wrote That He Lived
in Fear of His

RIVERSIDE, March 1J-Burling-
ton county authorities were in pos
session of a letter said to have been
written by John r. Brunen. circus
proprietor, slain at his home last
Friday, in which he told of an at
tempt on his life by his wife, Mrs.
Doris Brunen, and of his intention
of making a will cutting her off
with 81.
He said that he had been living
in fear of his life" and expressed be-
lief that he was being framed by
his own households"
The letter. dated February 90,
was addressed to Brunen's sister,
Mrs. Elizabeth Jaesche, of Cary, H..
and was turned over to the authorl-
ties by her after she had attended
her brothers funeral
Prosecutor Jonathan Kelsey said
it was regarded as the most i'm
portant piece of information so far
obtained in the investigation of the
killing. He added that as a result
one arrest and possibly more"
would be made today.
In the letter Brunen told of dis
cord in his household, mentioning
particularly differences he had been
having with his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Harry Mohr, and other relatives of
his wife, and asked Mrs. Jaesche to
look after his affairs should any,
thing happen to him. -
II think Doty (Mrs. Brunen) is
figuring to do away with me-" said
the letter. "She wants to get money.
for all she cares for is a good time.
Not Afraid to Die
Brunen said that he was not
afraid to die, but that he would not
let them" drive him away from
home. Il always was good to Dotys
people for / felt sorry for them"
the letter continued. They had me
believe the father was SO bad but
know different. They drove him
away from home after he failed in
business, and now they claim he is
dead, but l know he is not. They
want his insurance"
Mrs. Jaesche expressed belief that
her brother had been killed by hired
assassins. and" she declared, Il
think 1 know who hired them and
why"
She said she would do everything
possible to carry out Brunen'S wish
es, especially as they related to her
caring for his daughter. She said
she probably would institute legal
proceedings to OBTAIN CUSTODY OF tn9
girl. Harry Mohr, brother of Mrs.
Brunen, declared he could not un-
derstand why Brunen had written
such a letter. He said he had been
frequent visitor in his home dur
ing the last three years and that
aside from occasional little family
suuabbles' the circus mans home
life appeared to be happy. Mohr,
who lives in Pittsburgh. was said
to have been in Riverside the day
Brunen was shot
Brunen's estate was estimated %
be worth more than 100000 exclu-
sive of life insurance, the exact
amount of which is as yet unknown
Prosecutor Kelsey said he was de-
voting considerable attention to the
theory that Brunen was slain as a
result of a plot to obtain his estate
by persons familiar with his life
and habits"

George Nause. local organist and
at present accompanist for Nine.
Margarete Matzenauer, the Metro
pUlitan Opera singer. is acting as
buffer for the singer at Joplin, Mo-.
according to accounts of the matri-
monial difficulties of the star. Ru-
NOR has it that Nine. Matzenauer
has lost her 400 per cent husband"
u former taxi driver and Vause has
been called upon to shield the singer
from tho cloud of would be inter-
viewers who descended upon the
Matzenauer party when it arrived at
Joplin yesterday.
His duties are reported to have
been to tell interviewers seeking
information regarding the reported
loss of her husband that the opera
star was confined to her room by
illness and could not give a state
ment. Mr.. Vause said he felt sure
that the singer was unaware of ner
husbands supposed action and urS-
ed that the news be kept from her
because of the fact that she had
singing engagements at Joplin.
Don't tell her" Mr.. Nause plead
ed 1T would never do. The mad
anne must sing tonight. That would
be difficult if she knew"

Geo. Vause Shields Singer
Who Has Lost Her
100 Per Cent. Husband

I'D rather be chauffeur in Call
fornia than to dwell forever in the
palaces of Babylon" he said. Glotz-
bach couldn't stand the high life. He
didn't enjoy breakfasts in bed, his
fingers itched for the wheel when
ever he rode behind his wife's chauf-
feur, and he simply couldn't appre-
ciate sitting through Lucia" night
after night. His ear, tuned to the
hum of q smoothly running motor,
couldn't respond. Glotzbach is six
foot Westerner and his comment IS
"Orchids will thrive in hothouses but
wild mustard needs the California
sun"
A year ago he took Nine. Matzen-
auer for ride in his taxi. She sat
on the front seat, the better to enjoy
the scenery and the personally con-
Quoted tour. Later came the engage
ment and marriage. Glotzbach gave
up taxi driving, but he couldn't stand
the q: I He declares that there has
been no quarrel but that he simply
lit out when his bride was not look
ing.
Nine. Matzenauer's first marriage
failed because of artistic tempera
ment in her husband. On her second
venture she said she wanted a man
and she has termed Glotzbach q
man" of the first water. She wants
her husband to come back, it is de-
clared, and there is talk of compro-
mise but Glotzbach races his motor
and signifies nothing doing"

ACTION ON MIDDLESEX
RATABLES WITH STATE

today The state board makes IL
plain that it is not satisfied with the
Increase in ratables in MiddleseX
county, and intimated yesterday at
the conference with the county board
that it might make use of it's author =
ity to raise the tax rate arbitrarily.
The municipalities in MiddleseX
that came up for special mention by
the state board as being rated too
low were Raritan township, Sayre- ;
vile borough. North Brunswick
township, Mlltown and Madison
township. In each of these districts
it was declared that an upward ad-
justment was necessary.
The county board yesterday ad
vsed the state body that meeting
would be held tomorrow afternoon
to go over their sheets again in ac-
cordance with their instructions.
Under the present returns the rata
bles in this county show an increase
of about eight millions over last
year but the contention of the state
is that the ratables of the entire
couny should be raised so that they
are in proportion to the ratables of
the city of New Brunswick which,
the state board maintains, is the
only municipality which is justly
taxed.

STUDENT LOAN FUND MOVE
IS BEING PUSHED HERE

Perth Amboy's student loan fund
will be ready for administration n
about two weeks, it was learned to-
day. At a recent meeting OF the
board of directors appointed for the
administration of the fund certain
changes in the tentative constitution
were recommended and all that re-
mains now is ratification of the doc
ument by the Teachers Association.
which is the organization RESPONSE
BILE for the existence of the move
ment in this city. Ratification Will
probably take place at the next
meeting of the Teachers Association
on Monday afternoon, March 2I.
The constitution presented for the
approval of the board of directors
was merely in outline and was pre-
pared in that form because of the
fact that the movement is in reality
one of the entire community and It
was felt that the community should
have a share in shaping the policies
of the organization. When the
changes as suggested at the last
meeting of the directors are ratified
by the teachers the fund will be or
ganized on working basis and will
begin to function.

City Has Long Contemplated
Buying Land Along
Front Street

Now that a request has been made
for a single track siding through
Front street as far as Commerce
street, the feasibility of continuing
this track across Fayetta street to
the city dock property has been
pointed out by those interested i'll
waterfront development and the flu
ture shipping possibilities. One of
the aldermen during the discussion
on the application of the Roessler
& Hasslacher Chemical Company for
a track in Front street Monday night
made the statement that if this
move is made it will mean that
tracks will eventually continue on
to the city dock
The city now owns strip oil
waterfront property along Front
street between the ferry and Fayette
street upon which warehouses could
be erected. Agitation was started
several years ago for the city to buy
up the property on both sides o:
Front street practically all the way
from Smith to Fayette street, it be-
eing stated then that railroad con-
nection would eventually be laid
there and large warehouses controll-
ed by the city would flourish.
This idea of buying up the rest OF
the property in that locality for the
purpose of erecting warehouses wa:
advanced by several boards and in
dividuals, but the matter of finances
always sounded the death-knell o.
the move.
Want Repairs Made
The harbor board is now endeaV-
oring to secure from the aldermen
sufficient funds to repair the large
brick building now situated on the
city dock property so that it might
be used as a warehouse. Funds are
also asked by the harbor board ir
order that the smaller of the two
city docks might be elevated and
built out so as to be of as much use
as the larger structure.
