Letter From Ku KIux KIan
Hopes Stricken Will Act
Against Booze
CARES OFF TO TRENTON
Find No Connection With
Him and Ostroski Case
It Is Claimed

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. Com
gratulations and commendation for
the speed with which George Cares,
the convicted murderer of Teresa
kucharsky, was captured anu
brought to trial by Prosecutor Jo-
seph E. Stricken and his staff, was
contained in letter received by the
prosecutor this morning from the
E,nights of the Ku Klux Klan, OF
New. Brunswick. The communica-
ton is dated January Is, and is type
written upon what appears to De
the official stationery of the organ
ization.
Among other points the letter says
the present crime wave is largely due
to bootlegging liquor and the klan
hor es the prosecutor VIII pc aple
to obliterate the condition respon-
sjble for the crimes committed re-
Gently. According to the commun-
ication, the Klan is q patriotic or
eal.ization standing for the uphold
ing Of the Constitution and laws OF
the United States and is ready at
al times to assist in it's own way
tho public officials in the preserva-
ticn of law and order.
The letter closes with the express
sion, yours for God, home and
country, and in the name of human
ity," and is signed knights OF the
Ku Klux Klan."
In connection with the bootleg
ging and other violations of the
LIQUOR laws mentioned in the letter,
Prosecutor Stricken said his office
was handling its share of the cases
in the county and that the number
OF cases is not shown by those In
which arrests are made and convic-
tions obtained. In many cases where
complaint is made to the county
authorities, the prosecutor said, the
suspicion is undoubtedly well found
ed but 10 evidence of use N a pros
ecution is submitted with the COM
plants and they are. therefore,
-yalueless.
Continuing his commen; Mr.
Stricken said Middlesex county was
really doing as much in the way OF
liquor law enforcement as any other
district. With reference to the oft
stated Iced for paid private detec-
tives to obtain evidence he main
tanned that he was not in favor of
such action for the reason that it is
too expensive for the results obtain
ed. 1t can not be known whether
such men are capable or not, the
prosecutor said, and the whole thing
would be more or less of an expen-
sive experiment increasing costs
without measurably increasing re-
suits.
Mr.. Stricken called attention to
three sections of the Van Ness act
which regulates state liquor law en-
forcement and said that if the local
authorities would work under the
act as it stands it would not be nee
essary for outside operators to be
engaged for the procuring of evil
dence and the work of the prosecu-
tors Office would be greatly light
ened. The principal work of the
prosecutors staff, it was contended.

Crime WAVE DUE TO BOOTLEG
BOOZE, kLAN letter DECLARES
POOL ROOM GAMBLING
ACTION BY CITY POLICE

Patrolmen on duty have had
standing orders for some time to in
spect poolrooms frequently. Each
night all officers enter the esab-
lishments on their respective beats
and see that no gambling is in pro-
gress and that no boys under age
are allowed to loiter. The chlef
pointed out that it was an easy
matter to stop betting while the
officers are in the poolrooms but in
order to see that no gambling went
on at all the policemen would have
to neglect their other duties.
Only last night, Chief Tonnesen
continued, a policeman and detec-
tive entered a local candy store
where a card game was in progress.
There was no doubt in the minds OF
the officers that money was being
placed upon the game but no cash
nor chips were in view and nothing
could be done.
BY frequent inspections of such
places the chief hopes to check
gambling and keep it from being
done openly but when it comes to
absolutely stopping it there seem
TO be insurmountable obstacles.

The efforts of the enforcement OIL

Mr.. de Valera said he could not
accept the responsibility unless he
had the sole power of the govern
ment to carry on his office.
Michael Collins, the minister OF
finance and leader of the treaty,
announced that he (Collins) had Of
fered his resignation but that Mr..
de Valera had refused to accept IT..
MIR. de Valera, said he proposed
'to lay down my office and the house
must decide by constitutional means
who is the chief executive"
1t is reported that Eamon de Va
lera in seeking reelection to the
presidency will do so with cabi-
net of his own way of thinking. His
remarks were construed to mean
that he would offer himself for res
election.
A. the opening of the afternoon
session of the Dali, Mr.. de valera
said that since the Irish agreement
was signed in London the executive
authorities of the Eail had been ir-
revocably split. They had since tried
to keep together nominally as uni
fed executive. but the time had
come for that to end.
The president said he and one secs
ton Cf the cabinet stood for the
preservation OIL the TepuDliC anu ttlc
other section had quite another plan.
There would nevc1 be peace, Mr..
de Valera declared. until the prin-
ciple was recognized that the Irish
people wanted to liv. their own lives
without the imposition of outside aus
thority.
Eamon 1e Valera opened the aft
ernoon session oe the Dali by stating
that the split over the treaty was
fundamental and irrevocable.
Reports circulated regarding the
proceedings of this mornings pri-l
vate session of the Dali Indicated
that the members were hopelesslyl
divided. 1t was learned that PRESS
dent de Valera had threatened to rec
sign and such was the temper of the
opponents of the treaty that mems.
bers on the opposite side said they
would no. be surprised if he and his.
followers walked cut of the Dali
before the vote on the treaty was
taken.
Before the afternoons session
opened Liam Roysite, of Cork, said.
the situation was extremely criticati
and he feared civil strife might en-
sue from the division of the coun-e

that such an institution is decided

Early action on the matter is
cooked for by Mr.. Dey, who con-
tends that the enormous sum spent
annually in caring for tuberculosis
sufferers by the taxpayers of Mid
diesex should by right be spent in
this county.
"Gentlemen:-

Commenting upon the word of
warning issued yesterday by Thomas
Lucas. president of the board of
excise commissioners. that the law
must be obeyed in poolrooms
throughout the city, Chief of Police
Niels ]. Tonnesen said this morning
he knew gambling was going on to
a certain extent and that he had
been taking measures to stop it.
President Lucas yesterday said
that the excise board received notice
from time to time that many of the
ivory balls were rolling in time to
bets and served notice that the new
ly organized board would revoke
licenses where violations were de-
tected. In addition to gambling,
closing at the proper hour was also
mentioned by the excise board head.
Chief Tonnesen explained that 1t
is a hard matter to discover gamb-
ling in poolrooms because money is
very seldom in view. When bet
is placed on. ball the customary
procedure is to wait until the play
is complete before passing over the
money rather than to have it ex-
posed as in other gambling games.

SAY PUBLIC SERVICE
DIVIDENDS INCREASE

TRENTON, Jan. 6.-That the
Public Service Electric Company OBJ
tanned so much additional revenue in
the years Of 1919 and 1920 from the
war surcharge of twenty-five per
cent on its rates to wholesale and
retail power consumers that it was
enabled to jump its dividends from
the customary eight to as high as
twelve per cent is an interesting dec
laration made today in the decision
of the Public Utility Commission
abrogaring the surcharge as it ap-
plies TO the wholesale consumers
The surcharge was taken off the re-
tail consumers back in 1919 after the
company began to make such prof
it's from it.
The interesting point in this con-
nectiCn is that the surcharges were
not allowed back in 1918 to enable
the company to jump its dividends
to the heights mentioned, the in
crease was granted on the claim that
the war had SC increased the COM
pany's expenses that it ought to have
more money to inset operating costs.
Here is the paragraph in today's de-
CIotpll ICldltllSo " t'ii1 iiottDh.
"The actual results for the entire
twelve months of 1919, with abro-
cation of the surcharge from the
uniform retail power and elevator
rates effective on September 1st
show that this surplus was little
over 100000 CTR )m the surcharge)
and in the yea 1920 the company
earned more than 100000 above
that amount. The company's sur
plus, however. was not increased by
these amounts, two-thirds of the
surplus earned in 1919 being used to
increase tn. rate OF dividends on its
capital stock from eight to ten per
cent, and almost AL of that for 1920
being distributed In dividends, in
which year the rate was twelve per
cent"
