.AMb0Y AVENUE
WAY IS CLEAR
Aldermen Pass New Resolu-
tion--Next Move is up to
Board of Freeholders

After resembling the resolution
passed by them last week requesting
the Board of Freeholders to return
to the city that portion of Amboy
avenue from Myrtle street north u
the city line, the aldermen last night
unanimously adopted another reso-
luton requesting the county to SUI
render to the city the part of Amboy
avenue extending from Myrtle street
north to point 100 feet north ol
Inslee street.
Freeholders Clarence NJ. Haighi
and Walter Quackenbush together
with County Solicitor Frederick r.
Richardson were present at las;
nights meeting and conferred with
the aldermen prior to the passage
of the new rest luton.
The aldermen's action last night
was caused by the State Highway
Commissions decision to construct a
new route from the point 100 feet
north of Inslee street to the city, in
stead of going over the present route.
The county will now retain control
of the stretch of Amboy avenue from
the point north of Inslee street to
the city line and it must ma intain it.
Otherwise this would have to be re-
paired and kept up by the city.
The new route of Ambcy avenue
will go through property owned by
the Barber Asphalt Paving Company
and save considerable distance as
well as eliminating sharp turns and
the present steep grade. The pres
ent road will be used as detour
during the time the new route is in
the course of construction.

Peter LangWeber, Milk Dealer

Police Investigate

Peter Langweber. a milk dealer of
3s6 New street, stopped at a house
early Saturday morning to deliver a
bottle of milk to a customer. He
was away from his wagon for a few
minutes only but when he return
ed he discovered an object that an
peared to be a candle burning inside
his wagon. Standing close beside the
candle was pint bottle of kerosene.
The milk man thought the sudden
appearance of candle and a bottle
Of kerosene in his milk wagon rather
suspicious so he Immediately extin-
guished the flame and took candle
and kerosene to police headquarters.
The object was about twenty inches
in length, three inches in diameter
and smelled very strongly of kerr
osene. The police suspected that it
also might contain explosive mate
rial and refused to allow ii to be
opened indoors. City Electrician Jay
L. FRANKIE volunteered to undertake
an investigation of the contents ef
the supposed internal machine in the
privacy of the woods near the city
power house and this morning 1t de-
veloped that the candle WIS in real

nails and scrap iron, surrounded py
q generous amount of black powder.
The casing of the bomb consisted
] of heavy paper similar to that use
in wrapping sticks OF dynamite and
| was about three-eighths of an incE
in thickness. 1t had evidently been
soaked in kerosene. The outside OF
the container was heavily coated
with white wax and with the candle
wick inserted at the top the ma
chine closely resembled a large
plumbers candle.
Langwaber in a statement to the
police, said he had for some time
been involved in troubles with rive,
milk dealers in the city and he re-
lieves the bomb was placed in his
wagon to blow him and his equip
| ment to pieces and put him out of
the milk business forever. 1t seems
to be a well established fact that
strife exists among certain OF the
milkmen here but the authorities
hardly anticipated a bomb plot in
connection with business compet;-
ton. There is scarcely a doubt that
had the bomb not been extinguished

unpreparedness to tell the miners
what wage reductions will be de-

SOVIET MINISTER SAYS
ALLIES ARE BLOCKING
RUSSIAN Principles

GENOA. April 25 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin. of Soviet Russia, de-
clared to the Associated Press today.
that it was allied resistance to the
Russian principles of naturalization
which was blocking the conference
here.
ut is obvious" he said that the
only serious Obstacles to peace with

are the pretentions of a few former
owners of property in Russia"
The Russian minister's statement
was called out by the high ten
sion developed over Russia's claims,
which are considered as threatening
to disrupt the conference.
He insisted it was efforts of the
allies to resist Russia's right 10 ma
tionalize property and their attempt
to infringe upon her sovereignty in
that connection that are holding up
the work of the conference.
There is no difference between
our official proposals of April "a and
my letter to Lloyd George April
20" said Tchitcherin. I'VE merely
explained and developed the fourth
phrase of our note, that dealing
with restoration of property TO for
eigners.
"In my letter to Mr.. Lloyd George
it was said we would restore to for
eigners the use of their property
where possible. In our proposals
yesterday we explained in detail
that this was possible only in cases
where our social and economic sys-
tenn and our fundamental laws per-
mitted it.
"Our government is competent to
decide what claims il considers just.
There is not the least difference in
my letter to LloSd George and our
proposal Monday. 1t is obvious that
the only serious obstacles to peace
with Russia and to general recon-
structions are the pretentions of a
few former owners.
Russia has gone far in its con-
cessions, but it cannot return to the
old social and economic system. We
are faced with the great work of
reconstruction and a general pact
against aggression. II is only pre-
tentions of a small body of former
owners of property in Russia that
stand between us and these aims"
'It is quite clear that the main

Report That C. w. Hudson OF
Upper Montclair to be De-
signing Engineer
STILL OPEN QUESTION
No Engineer Selected, Says
Burton--Matter May Lead
to Fight, is Outlook

TRENTON, April 25.-At an in
formal conference of the State High
way Commission here this morning,
prior TO the official meeting this
afternoon, the question of employ
ing a consulting engineer on the
construction of the state bridge across
the Raritan river between Perth and
South Amboy was discussed at
length As a result of the confer
ence it is probable that a consult
ing engineer will be named at the
official session.
The need for a consulting en-
gineer to have charge of the work
and go over the plans. checking up
various features was thought a wise
move, but il was not thought neces-
sary to employ designing engineer
as the bridge has already been de-
signed by Charles a Mead, engineer
of the Public Utility Commission.
Thomas e. Collins, of Elizabeth. an
engineer member of the commission.
brought up the name of Clarence W.
Hudson at the conference.
Among those who attended the
conference and spoke in favor of
employing consulting engineer was
Mr.. Mead. the utility board engineer,
and Commissioner George Paddock
.
opinion that the employing of such
IN engineer would be protection TO
he state and also the commission.
Great interest is being taken in the
session this afternoon because of the
reports that have been spread con-
serning the appointing of Mr.. Hud-
Son as both consulting and designing
engineer, and the fact that some OF
the commissioners are reported TO
not favor the appointing of an en-
rineer in both of these capacities.
1t was estimated at the conference
that a consulting engineer would be
paid at the rate of from $50 to $500
per month. As it is estimated that
II will take all of three years to COM
plete the bridge the large sum the
engineer would be paid was the
cause of some discussion, during
which it was suggested that an en-
gineer be paid fiat rate OF $l5,Oo0
year or $4,000 for the entire work
y in connection with the construction
II the bridge.
Another interesting fact brought
out in the conference was that OF
obtaining more land on the Perth
Amboy shore for hte approach or tne
bridge. Mr.. Mead pointed out that
although state has planned to ac-
quire 10 feet of land. more ground
was needed and advised that the en-
tire track Of the w. ]. Donnel Lum-
ber Company be taken over 1t was
brought ou. that this land Is held
by the lumber concern fo- $2S5,0oo
1t is also claimed that the properly
was purchased by the firm for $ss
900. At the present time it is as
sessed at $19,500, it is claimed.

bridge branch crossing. All Lehigh
trains, he said. come to a dead stor

with a sleeper grade it would be
necessary to use a booster engine to
start them again, once they stop. He
also declared that additional men
would be needed to operate the air
brakes on freights drilling in the
yard under a sleeper grade. The ad-
ditional cost a year in operating
these boosting engines and hiring

MAYOR PRAISES
THE ALDERMEN
Says They Saved Money in
Booz Matter; Letter Pigeon
Holed, However.

Owing to the failure on the part
of the aldermen to take any action
on several matters which have been
brought to their attention by the
mayor. the city's chief executive this
morning made public a communica-
tion which he sent to the council on
April 10 but which has not yet come
up in open meeting. This letter. the
mayor states, has been in the hands
of the aldermen at their last three
meetings, but on each occasion il
has been "pigeon-holed" with the re-
suit that 1t has never come to light.
1t has to do with the payment of a
bill of $4,000 rendered by Louis p.
Booz, Jr.. the local engineer engaged
by the city in the grade crossing
elimination case.
The mayors letter to the alder
men follows:

COUNTY DAY JAILER
0uSTED BY SHERIFF
F0Rc00D 0FSERvIcE

NEW BRUNSWICK. April 25.-
"For the good of the service" !"
Sheriff Elmer S. Wyckoff has an
nounced, George Rutan. yesterday
afternoon, was dismissed from SER
vice as a day jailer in the county jail.
Judging from information given out
by the sheriff this is his first move
in his plan to have his rules and
regulations for the county Jail car
ried out.
The sheriff announces that Rutan
practically ignored recommendations
made by him, and conditions in the
county Jail have reached a state
where it was necessary for this ac-
ton to be taken. An occurrence
last week when Harry Haskamp and
Arnold Busch, New York gunmen,
were taken to Trenton to start serv-
ing their state prison terms of from
nine and a half to sixteen years,
was hinted as being directly respon-
sible for the dismissal of Rutan.
II is said that Busch relieved him
self of a revolver just as he was
about to be taken into the prison by
Under Sheriff Fred Gowan and Pro-
cess Server William Hanna last
Thursday. Two theories have been
offered for his possession of the gun,
one that he had same when he was
turned over to the sheriff's repre-
sentatives, the other that same had
been given to Busch by Haskamp's
wife while she was riding in the
train from New Brunswick to Tren-
tton. or in the automobile from Tren'
ton to the prison.
During the week Haskamp and
Busch We're in the county Jail await
ing their shipment to Trenton they
were not made to wear the regula~
