an at Dunellen

! NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. "a
A letter demanding $3.50 IS the price

alleged blackmail case which is &C.
cupying the attention Je the county
and federal authorities here today.
Believing the federal Iostal authorl-
ties the proper person to handle the
case, County Detective David has
secured an inspector from Philadel-
phia to investigate the eTair n

violation OF the postal laws and st.
tempted blackmail or criminal libel.
Mrs. Adams was committed to jail
in default of $1,000 bail.
John p. Yunker, a truckman and
mover of Dunellen, is the complain
ant in the case. He charges that
he received a letter from Mrs.
Adams last Sunday, demanding $l5O.
Ruin of his business was threatened
if he failed to produce the money,
according to the complainants
story.
In giving his side of the case 20

have given the whole history of his
relations with Mrs. Adams. He says
that he first knew her last March

household goods of Mr.. and Mrs.

furniture establishment, where Mrs.
Adams purchased some new turni-
ture. Trouble epsued. according to
Yunker when little girl fell down
the steps OF the furniture store and
broke her arm. Mrs. Adams de-
sired to hold the proprietor of the
store as liable, and requested Yum
ker's services as an eye witness of
the accident, Yunker maintains, He
refused, however, because he did
not see the girl fall. Mrs. Adams
is reported ia have demanded $500
from the furniture dealer. later re-
ducing her claims to $3.50.
1uHkeT SdlQ MrS. AudiIlS was
veXed with him for refusing to per-
jure himself, but states that in the
ensuing weeks he grew better ac-
quainted with the family. He as
serts that he received a letter from
Mrs. Adams making an appoint
ment for him to call when Mr.. Ad-
ans was not at home. The letter
was written in German. he says, and
although OF German descent he was
unable to translate the contents and
turned the epistle over to his wife.
The mover denis keeping the APP

threateningN letter on Monday. 1T
vas mailed in New Brunswick.

Collins Plans for Future

LONDON, Aug. "a (By The Asso-
ciated Press):-At the time of his
death Michael Collins had under
consideration plans to redraft sew
eral sections of the constitution Of
the Irish free state so as to placate
the more radical republican ele-
ment.
This was made known today by
Michael Francis Doyle, Philadelphia
lawyer, who arrived from Dublin
where he went to consult with the
members of the provisional govern
ment.
Mr.. Doyle was the last American,
he believes, to see the free state
commander-in-chief alive. He had
several conferences with Collins and.
on the day before the latter went
to the south where he was fated to
fall under a bullet. they went care
fully over the different points of the
constitution which it had been
planned to redraft.
These points are three in number.
The first concerns the taking of an
oath of allegiance to the King of
England, the second concerns rati-
fication of Irish governmental acts
by the British privy council. while
the third hinges upon the powers
the Irish government shall derive
| from the treaty between the free
| state and England.
Before leaving on his Inflated
Journey General Collins announced
| that Mr.. Doyle with John McCor-
mick, the famous tenor. were the
guests of the Irish cabinet at a
luncheon in the Shelbourne Hotel,
