SEVERAL HURT
IN AUTO CRASH
Auto and Truck Collide at Me-
tuchen-CarS Are Almost
Completely Wrecked.

METUCHEN. Aug. 12.-Several
people received minor injuries and
truck and a new sedan were al
most completely wrecked in crash
that took place on Essex avenue at
8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
machines involved in the accident
were truck owned by the Breyer
Ice Cream Company of Philadel phia
and a sedan owned by August H.
Clarius, a retired patrolman of $3.50
Amboy road. Tottenviile, 8. 1.
The machines collided with a re-
sounding crash, in the middle OF a
dense cloud of smoke that resulted
from quantity of burning hay near
the road side. The hay had been de-
posted by the contractor who is
making preparations for beginning
the paving of the Lincoln Highway.
In some way it caught fire yesterday
supposedly from a spark from a
passing locomotive. In the afser-
noon it began to shoulder and the
result was a heavy smoke pail hang
ing over the road.
In the Clarius car were his t1o
daughters, Ida and Carrie, with
May Breckneld, of New York. All
were treated by DR.. Dix for bruises
and small cuts. Charles Sibley was
the driver of the truck.
Both machines were 80 badly
damaged it was necessary to tow
them to garages for repairs. Clar-
ius preferred a charge OF reckless
driving against the tuck driver. but
when Recorder Weber heard the
case he dismissed the accuea tion. 1t
was brought out that the retired pa
trolman had eight feet in which to
pass the truck. Sibley said he knew
of the presence of the bridge near
by and had slowed down consider
ably while Clarius was making a
good rate of speed.

Judge George S. Silzer, in a state
ment issued at Sea Girt yesterday,
where he attended the governors
reception, neatly turned the tables
on former Governor Runyon by TAX
ing the speech of the latter in Mid
dlesex county on Wednesday, max
ing what he calls few slight
changes, and then giving it out
otherwise as his own.
In his statement Silzer calls atten-
tion to the manner in which the
"old board of guardians" whom he
says are still in the saddle, are
unanimously supporting Runyon for
governor, and who, absolutely are
controlling both branches of the
state assembly, have in the last few
years killed all progressive legisla-
ton and succeeded in having much
reactionary legislation passed, some
times over the governors veto. Sill
zer's statement follows:
II was somewhat surprised that
Runyon should come into my own
county of Middlesex and, speaking
practically from my front yard,
leave himself open to the obvious
retort of changing few words in
his speech attacking me, and then
giving it right back at him. The
following is former Governor Run
yon's speech, with a few obvious
changes. I shall give it just as he
said it, leaving the changes which
l have made to the imagination of
the reader. Mr.. Runyon's speech
would then read as follows:
The state, Is under the sinister
influence which is now trying to
stretch its hand to the senate and
the governorship. For their purpose
they will stop at no expedient. They
know no conscience. Their one aim
is to gain power and retain 1t. Stand
ing back Of the Republican power
in the state are these great figures
of immense magnitude, adopts. re-

A band concert for the week of
August 21, has been assured by the
contribution today of 500 towards
the fund from Alderman at-Large
Richard J. Calvin. Up to the re-
ceipt OF Mr.. Galvin's contribution
indications were that the last con-
cert would take place next Wednes-
day night when the Perth Amboy
Concert Band Is scheduled to play
at School No. s. The total receipts
to the fund up to August IL have
been 1927. The disbursements
amount to $640. The balance in the
fund is $2S7.
A splendid program. which ap-
pears elsewhere, has been prepared
by Samuel D'Angelo and P. Acqua-
viva, manager and director respec-
lively of the Perth Amboy Concert
Band, for the concert next Wednes-
day night. This band furnished the
music at the concert in Bay view
Park and received such great ap-
plause from the crowd of 1000 or
5000 people present that it was
kept playing almost continuously
from 8 o'clock in the evening until
after IL o'clock.
The band on Wednesday night
will consist of twenty-five pieces.
The program is declared to be one
of the most popular ever offered at
the concerts which have been held
for the past few weeks and contains
sixteen numbers Mr.. D'Angelo stat
ed today that the band planned to
play many encores and these would
lengthen the program considerably.
In addition to the regular band Sc
lections there are two cornet solo
numbers. The soloists are Patsy
Falanga and Thomas De Marco.
At the concert in Bay View Park
this organization played many selec-
tions which were particularly pleas
ing to the audience, and when 1t was
learned that the band would give
another concert, Mr.. D'Angelo said
today, many requests were received
that some of the numbers be played
at the concert on Wednesday night
In view of these requests. the man
ager has placed several OF the most
popular selections on the program.
In giving the concert at School No.
8, which is located at Convery place
and Neville street, Commissioner
Edward Lembcke. chairman Of the
concert committee of the Park Com
missioners does so with the idea in
view that not only will the citizens
in that section of the city be given
a chance to hear the music, but the
school is located so near the hospi-
tai that patients in that institution
may also be cheered as strains OF
the melodies float through the night
air.

RAIL CHIEFS
SEND ANSWER
To Presidents Plan to Settle
Railroad Strike-Text Is
Not Given.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-(By The
Associated Press)-Eight rail ex-
ecutives headed by v'. Dewitt Guy
ler today were enroute for the
White House to deliver to President
Harding the reply of the Associa-
ton of Railroad executives to his
latest plan for settlement of the rail
strike.
TIE language of their message
arranged at yesterdays conference
in New York was guarded by it's
bearers. Out of courtesy to the
President, they said, its contents
would not be made public until af-
ter Mr.. Harding had seen the orig
inal text.
From authoritative sources it was
learned, however, that the message
was neither unqualified acceptance
nor rejection of the plan put forth
by the President.
The reply expresses accord with
the view of the administration that
the railroad labor board jurisdiction
must be the foundation for any set
tlement of the strike.
So as to eliminate any misunder-
standing of President Harding's
proposal that the striking shopmen
be returned to their old positions,
the reply stipulates:
"That the road will give jobs only
to men needed to bring shops up to
normal capacity.
"That strikers who are rehired
must return as new men with the
understanding that their claims to
unimpaired seniority be later turned
over to the labor board for consid-
GRAFTON.
"If union leaders will consider
these terms in fair manner there
will be no need for further negotia,
ton. was the opinion of the COM
mittee."
>~~~--~>~~~~-~~~~>~~~
Mitchell Palmer few years ago Sc
cured injunctions against the lead
ers of one of the big national strikes
but that did not directly end it.
None OF the members or congress
or the Presidents advisers have yet
been able to discover any plan that
promises the ending. of the railroad
strike through legislative acrion.
The President has had the rail-
road strike and the coal strike on
his hands many weeks now and de-
spite herculean efforts and greatest
persuasion on the part of himself
and his aids has been unable to
break either of them. Naturally.
therefore, the administration would
like to pass the buck" to congress.
But that can not be effectively done
unless the President after fully out
lining the strike situation makes
fiat recommendation of action that
will give promise of ending the labor
controversy. To fail to recommend
specific action after reviewing the
situation would not take the burden
off the White House. For this rea-
son President Harding and his ad-
visers with the House returning
from its recess Tuesday, are casting
in every direction for a plan that
gives pomise of ending the strike
through action by congress.

What Firemen Say


The Evening News received a let
ter this morning from the committee
OF firemen in charge of the Port
Reading carnival. The letter refer
red to the raid conducted by the
county authorities and made clear
the firemen's stand. The firemen
also alleged that in the case noted
above by Detective David the fire.
men maintain that the wheel he
stopped was not a gambling device.
Each person stalking dime on the
wheel, the firemen say. received a
package of perfume equal to an
amount offered for the same sum by
a store. A more important award
was made to the winner.
The fact that every customer re-
ceived a bottle of perfume whether
he won or not, the marin prize causes
the firemen to contend that the
wheel did not constitute "a game of
chance.
The letter follows:
again the summer season with
its merry vacation times is with us.

Detective SAYS; GET
LETTER FROM F|REMEN
County Detective David Again
at Port Reading and Other
Scenes of CarnivaIs.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. "a
Continuing his campaign against the
operation of gambling devices at car
nivals. County Detective Ferd A.
David toured the county again last
night, visiting Port beading, Sc
warren, South Amboy, South River
and Perth Amboy.
In commenting upon his trip this
morning David said he ran into
spirited opposition at Port Reading
and that for time it looked as
though the Port Reading firemen in
tended to openly defy the orders of
Prosecutor Joseph Z. Stricken. Ac-
cording to his version of the affair,
the detective found one wheel IN
operation at the Port Reading car
nival. 1t differed somewhat from
the ordinary whirling wheel. David
said, in that premium was award
ed each time the wheel was spun.
but he decided that the device came
under the ban of the law and or
dered it stopped.
David says his order was the sig
nal for strenuous objection on the
part of the firemen. He quotes the
management as saying:4
'.We don't give q damn ii We are
Indicted or what happens; we intend
to run the carnival"
The county detective gives his
reply as a fiat statement that if the
wheel was operated the whole crowd
would be arrested, He also declares
his threat was effective.
At the Hall avenue carnival in
Perth Amboy the county authorities
found no indication of anything il
legal. Last night Detective David
informed the Perth Amboy police
department that operation of gam
bling devices would not be tolerated.
Chief Niels J. Tonnesen. of PERTH
Amboy, however, had previously IS
sued a similar order to all patrol
men on duty at the carnival and
when the county detectives arrived
they found no wheels or other for
bidden devices running.
According to The prosecutors
Office representatives no violations
of tho law were djscerned at any of
the other carnivals visited.
