 This unique venture in Home Rule the breakdown of the autocratic rule of a tribal chief, and following the instruction which has ibeen given the younger generation of Eskimos, through 31 years at the Episcopal school at Point Hope, Rev. Thomas reports. 5e
 '"Originally the Omalik was com posed of seven men says Rev. Thomas But it fwas found later that five was a better number. From the beginning of the' experiment. the right of suffrage was given to men and women alike. in the selection of the Council Christmas was fixed as the day of the election because on that day all of the tribesmen come into the settlement for feasting and merry making, and we are able tbereby to get the fullest expression of the sentiment of the people. The names are written on a blackboard, md the five securing the greatest number of votes are declared elected, while that one of the five who re ceives the greatest number of votes becomes the chief councilman" Are Law Abiding
 Rev. Thomas points out that the Eskimos are a singularly orderly and law-abiding people so that the work If the Omalik is largely confined to he enactment of routine municipal regulations He says: There are no police and no courts The Mis- sionary gives some quaint illustra- tions of the manner in which Els kimo self-government works. For example, the- Omalik has a regulation against gossips. Any person male or female found guilty of gossiping is called before the entire community and publicly rebukedp by the chief Omalik All forms of lying are frowned upon, but particularly among the young.

Bootleggers throughout the gtate,
particularly in this district, are ex-
tremely active at this time because
of the approaching holidays, but re-
cent occurrences would indicate that

chase, which was featured by the
exchange of about fifty shots. at
South River about . o'clock this
morning, prohibition men, under
Agent Charles Wolowitz, captured

twenty-one years old, Of 160 Broom

eight cases of booze, valued at
$4,000.
The prohibition men had a big day
yesterday, having toured various
Llaees in this district and at Red
Bank, arrested John j. O'Keefe of
81 West Front street, who, after be-
ing questioned at length, admitted
that he was the owner of an auto
mobile containing twelve bottles of
whiskey. which was standing in
front of his establishment.
The O'Keefe car was seized and
at this place the prohibition mems
party split, one crowd going in the
Ford sedan belonging to O'Keeie
and the remainder going in their
own car. At South Amboy the pro-
hibition men were attracted by two

shots one struck the windshield of
the sedan which was driven by a
party named Stumpf, an employee
of the Scu1ly trucking concern

COUNTERFEIT
PL0T ARRESTS
Man Held in Freehold Jail
Charged With Making
Bogus Money Orders

ASBURY PARK, Dec. 22 CBy The
Associated Press).-Giles NJ. Ran
ney, an engraver, believed to be from
New York. is In Jail In Freehold,
held on a charge OF counterfeiting
United Railway Express money or
ders, and James Watson and Wall
ter R. Nolan ar, being held in Gin
cinnati, Ohio, on a similar charge,
after being trailed for more than a
month by federal agents and pri-
vate detectives, it became known
here today.
The arrest Of Watson and Nolan
brings to a close the roundup OF
one of the boldest gang of counter
letters known to federal authorities,
according to County, Detective
Charles o. Davenport. who has been
working on the case here.
Ranney was arrested here Decem-
Der 5. but his arrest was kept
quiet by the authorities in order to
lull the suspicious of his alleged ac-
COMPLIES, who the authorities say
were flooding the country with
bogus express money orders Of $50
and 500 denominations
Late In November, Detective Dav-
export said, a teller in the Pacific
Bank in New York while checking
his accounts noticed something
wrong with the texture OF an Amer
i1ln Express money order which
had been cashed at the bank. An
alarm was immediately given and
investigation showed that $500 in
bogus money orders had been pass
ed on New York merchants. Every
bank, railroad ticket office and ex-
press Office in the country was then
notified to be on the lookout for the
curious paper.
About this time Detective Daven-
port received a tip from a man
whose male he refused to divulge
that the bogus money orders were
being made here by Ranney. Ran
ney was trailed to small printing
shop here, where detectives say
they saw him comparing the bogus
money orders. Ranney is said by
police to have been a member of g
gang of postage stamp counterfeit
ers who were caught at West Allen
hurst last year. He was never
brought to trial on this -harge, they
said. He had served time in the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta and
in Galveston, Texas, Detective Dav-
export says.
After Ranney's arrest here feder-
al agents and private detectives
trailed Nolan and Watson The pai-
' ent to New York and from there
to Philadelphia, where they dis
posed of $500 of the bogus checks,
according to the authorities.

Mysterious Trucks
For the past three or four days
the police authorities Of this Sec
ton have been bothered considers
ably with reports about White anu
Mack trucks. A few days ago local
authorities received report from
Keyport that the police there had

morning Officer Hagen reported that

that he had followed them to Mor-s

PEARSE TObE
JUDGE, IS CLAIM
Say He Will Take Days
Place on the Middlesex
County Bench

Considerable political gossip with
reference to appointments was to be
heard last night at the dinner given
Governor-elect George s. SilZer, of
Metuchen at the Hotel Pines, the
feature of this talk being an ap-
parent favoring of Frederick M. p.
Pearse, of Metuchen, over John A.
Coan, of South Amboy, for the Of
flee of county judge should Judge
Peter F. Daily be promoted to the
circuit court.
There seemed to be little doubt
but what Judge Daily will be select
ed to fill the vacancy caused by
Judge Silzer's resignation. Prominent
Democratic leaders also seemed to
agree that Assistant Prosecutor John
E. Toolan will be promoted to the
office of prosecutor as Prosecutor
Joseph E. Stricken will be advanced
to the high position Of attorney gem
eral.
The county jurge appointment
brought out difference or opinion
on the part of those who some time
ago had been certain Mr.. Coan,
former assistant prosecutor, would
be advanced to this position. Mr..
Pearse, who was assistant u. 8.

signed in order to better devote his
time to SiIzer's campaign. is now
conceded to have the Inside
track in seeking the appointment
as county judge. In his address last
night Mr.. Pearse intinated that he
was looking for an appointment but
did not say exactly what position he
sought.
The subject of appointments was
frequently referred to by the speak
ers at the Silzer dinner last night
it being pointed out that there is
rot a vacancy for every Democrat
who feels himself entitled to a
position with little work but large
pay.
