WORKER
KILLED WHEN
HIT BY ENGINE
Frank Sproke, Atlantic Terra
Gotta Employe, Is Crushed
to Death
WATCH 80 FEET AWAY
Body Dragged Some Distance
After Being Hit, Police
Probe Shows.

Frank Sroke, forty years old, of
529 Mechanic street, an employe in
the Atlantic Terra Gotta Company's s
plant here, was instantly killed at
noon today by a Lehigh Valley loco
motive, drilling cars in the yard at
Buckingham avenue. The investiga-
ton by Patrolman Arthur Peterson
failed to produce any eyewitnesses
to the accident, but the discovery of
the mans watch about fifty feet
from the spot where the mangled
body was found, led to the belief
that Sproke had been knocked down
by the locomotive and dragged this
distance before the body was freed
from the engine.
Sproke was employed as helper
in the kiln repair department of the
terra Gotta works and had stopped
work for lunch with others in his
department at noon. He walked
away alone and was not seen to be
run down by the locomotive, which
was backing out of the yards. Eel
low employees saw the body a few
minutes later, however.
Coroner Edward K Hanson was
sent for and he permitted the re-
moval of the body to the morgue of
James J. Flynn. Sproke is married.
being survived by a wife and one
child. The engineer of the loco
motive was Bert David and the con-
ductor on the freight o. D. Taylor.

KEYPORT "HUCCERS"
FINED HERE MAY
SOLVE PEPPER CASE
Two Keyport Men Fined $100
Each Here for Hugging
Women on Streets

The arrest of two men by Patrol
man William Peterson last night
on a disorderly conduct charge. may
lead to the solving of the "Keyport
pepper" mystery. it was rumored in
police circles here this morning,
ana the disposition of the case by
Recorder Harold e. Pickersgill will
tend to do away with the actions
of numerous young men, especially
towards girls and women on the
principal streets of the city.
Thomas A. Allen and Joseph VIM
wright, both twenty-one years old
and residents of Keyport. were the
parties apprehended. The arrest
was made on Smith street between
State and Hobart streets, after the
officer had received a complaint that
two men were putting their artns
around passing girls and women.
The arrest was made shortly after 8
o'clock.
Reading matter found in the
pocket of one of the men lines up
somewhat with their actions last
night. Allen, when questioned by the
recorder regarding the charge made
by the officer. said that he had his
arm on a girl but did not think he
had his arms around her. The
other defendant had nothing to say.
The statement Of Allen would in
dicate that he is at least Jack
the Hugger," if he is not connected
in any way with the 'peeping" ac-
tivities which had Keyport in arms
a short time ago.
The two men, it is said, are en-
ployed as f1remen in the Jersey Gen.
trail Traction Company power house
at Keyport and have resided in Key
port for about month.
Both men were ordered to pay
fine of 800 each and were
locked up until that amount was
paid. The recorder in imposing the
fine let it be known that the disposi-
ton of this case should be warning
to others from this city and SUI
rounding towns, who act disorder.y
on the streets of this city. 1t was
pointed out that there are numerous
classes of disorders being commit
ted, such as passing insulting re-
marks to passersby, throwing differ
ent things at passersby and speaking
to unknown girls and women.
The recorder and Acting Chief
Lawrence A. Long pointed out that
in every case of this kind when an
arrest is made, the fine imposed Will
be a very heavy one inasmuch as 1T
is impossible for the police to see
all disorders and many people feel
that they are lowering themselves in
reporting activities of such parties.
1t is probable that the local police
will communicate with the Keyport
authorities regarding the arrest of
Allen and Winwright.

HEARING
FOR DAUCHERTY
Witnesses to be Subpoenaed
Hearing Will be Held on
December IL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4:-The
House judiciary committee decided
today to ask the House for author
ity to subpoena witnesses and to
obtain papers requested by Repre-
sentative Keller, Republican, Min
nesota, in prosecuting his impeach-
ment charges against Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty.
Chairman Volstead announced
that the formal hearing would be-
gin Tuesday, December IL.
Representative Keller, told the
House judiciary committee today he
would not be ready to present evf-
dence in support of his demand for
Impeachment of Attorney General
Daugherty until the committee OBJ
tanned from the House power to
summon and swear witnesses.
An hours wrangle over procedure
finally was cut short on motion by
Representative Graham, Republican,
Pennsylvania, that the committee g9
into executive session to decide II
it would ask for such authority, $50
as to leave the complaint without
excuse when we meet again."
Formal reply to charges filed yes
terday with the House judiciary
has been prepared by Attor-
ney General Daugherty for pre-
sentiment to the committee when II
met in executive session to consider
the Keller resolution demanding
the attorney generals impeachment.
Answering categorically the four
teen specifications submitted with
the Keller charges, Mr.. Daugherty
reply as summarized in a depart
ment of justice statement published
today, declared in reference particu-
larly to Mr., Keller'S demand for Ac'
cess to department documents, that
il showed 10 be arrayed behind the
move for his impeachment certain
radical leaders seeking to serve not
ice upon every future attorney gen.
eral that if he dares enforce the
laws of the United States against
such objections he does so under the
penalty of attempted impeachment.
Joined in the move with these, he
asserted were the prof1teerS. the
grafters, the so-called ''war defrau1-
ers." who sought by constituencies
and unscrupulous means to gain
knowledge of what those charged
with bringing them to justice had
secured as the result OF the most
painstaking, faithful and earnest er-
forts possible on the part of the az
torney general and those associated
with him"
Wherever consistent with protec-
ton of the governments interests
and those of individuals who have
reposed confidence in 1t, Mr.. Daugh-
erty said, the department of justice
stands ready to meet Mr.. Keller's de-
mand for access to these documents.
To do so in certain important mat
ters in Preparation for presentation
to the proper tribunal" he said,
would be highly injurious to the
interests of the people"

$4,000 FOR RIVER PLAN

Recommendations Made to
Congress Today ,
$4,000 FOR RIVER PLAN
Washington Correspondents of The
Perth Amboy Evening News.)
By GEORGE II. MANNING

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-Appro-
priations aggregating $2,500,000
were requested of congress by the
Secretary of War when it met for
the new session today, for improve
ment of the rivers and harborS in
northern New Jersey during the
next fiscal year, commencing July
l, 1928.
The annual report and estimates
of the board of engineers for rivers
and harhors submitted to congress
by the secretary of war, show that
it is proposed during the twelve
months commencing July 1, 1928.
to spend S1,000.000 on improvements
of the channel in Staten Island
Sound between New Jersey and NeU
York: S650,000 on Newark Bay;
100000 on the Hackensack river;
$4,000 on Passaic river; s500,000 on
Raritan Bay between New Jersey
and New York; 100000 on Raritan
river and $4,000 on Woodbridge
creek.
The s650,0Oo for improving New
Bay channel is to be expended, it is
reported, on that part of the pro-
ject below the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey bridge across the bay
and will be sufficient to complete the
project in this section. where naviga-
ton is now most seriously impeded.
The funds will be expanded at a rate
of about $4,000 each month, it is
said. The engineers state in their
report that it has not been possible
to undertake the proposed improve
ment in Newark Bay above the Can
trail Jersey bridge because The provl-
sion inserted by congress directing
that the project be not undertaken
until the secretary of war shall have
been satisfied that the bridge of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey in
Newark Bay will be reconstructed
within a reasonable period" has not
been complied with.
The Jersey Central Railroad sub
mitted on May 26, 1922, new plans
for the bridge and requested permis-
sion Of the secretary of war to build
it, the report states, but the matter
is still pending. The engineers in
dicate that when permission for
building the bridge is granted and
work begun, work on the project
above the bridge will be undertaken.
In the Hackensack river it is pro-
posed to spend the 100000 during
the next fiscal year in removing the
most obstructive earth and rock
shoals over the section of the project
that is to be dredged to 20 feet above
the Central Railroad of New Jersey
bridge where deeper water is urg-
emily needed"

ACTION TOCUT
TAXESMADE BY
THE PRESIDENT
He Urges curtaiIment in An
nuaI Federal Budget Mes
sage Delivered Today
FIGURES ARE GIVEN
Congress Opens Regular Ses-
sion-Stormy Meeting on
Big Issues Ahead

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4Presi-
ent Haring in transmitting the an
nual federal budget for the next
fiscal year, frankly told congress
today that whether there was to be
any material reduction in govern
ment expenditures and in taxes ID
future years would depend largely
on whether there was to be a cur
tailment or expansion of federal aid
in lines OF research, Improvement
and development.
Placing the estimate government
outlay in 1924 at $3.50. .S43,234, -
decrease of about $500, 600. 900 as
compared with estimates for this
fiscal year, Mr.. Harding called at-
tention that two-thirds Of this total
was on account of practically fixed
charges, such as the public debt,
national defense, pensions world War
allowances and federal aid. There
was left he said about one billion
dollars in charges subject to adj
ministrative control and against
which he added, the retrenchment
policy of the government had been
directed.
While expressing the opinion that
some further reduction undoubt-
edly would result from a reorganiza-
ton Of government establishments
on a more scientific basis. the pres
ident said this alone would not
affect such a material cut in operat-
ing costs as would justify the ex-
preston OF hope for a considerable
lessening Of expenditures in the
years to come.
Taking up the question OF federal
aid, the executive declared that this
was a rapidly broadening field OF
expenditure and that there was a
question as to how far the govern
added that it did not pertain to the
normal functions or operations OF
government.
'These extraneous activities" he
continued, "have flowed from laws
enacted pursuant to popular de-
mand, and I take this occasion TO
refer to them for the purpose OF
showing that the taxation which
necessarily results in providing
funds to meet them is a necessary
incident to the fuIfillment of the
popular demand.
''In the efforts which have been
directed to reducing public experdi-
lures, I have been much concerned
in apparent increasing state. county
and municipal indebtedness, and I
am fearful lest this condition may
be in part attributable to the ex-
penditures made by the government
pursuant to its federal-aid laws. as
many of these state laws require
state contributions as a prerequisite
to the extension of the federal aid"
The summary of the budget for
1924 as given to congress shows an
estimated excess of receipts over
expenditures next year of $3.50, 969. :
125 as compared with an estimated
deficit of $273,e3S,712 for this fiscal
year. The President said, however.
that he was hopeful that the esti-

entire FAMILY DIES
At CARTERET BY GAS,
DEAD BODIES FOUND
Probe is Started by County of
Tragedy in Borough This
Morning

CARTERET, Dec. "A man, his
wife and twenty-four year old
daughter were found dead in their
home at IS Pershing avenue about
o'clock this morning by Chief of
Police Henry J. Harrington. Death
was due to gas leaking into their
apartment.
The dead are:
Stephen Deak, f1fty-four years
ol: his wife, Anna, forty-seven
years old. and a daughter Elsie,
twenty-four years old.
The three were last seen yesterday
morning at l o'clock when they re-
turned from an automobile ride and
when customers visited their gro-
Gerry store which is just below their
living rooms, they were unable to
get in. Gas fumes coming from the
store moved these people to notify
the police chief which led to the
finding of the dead bodies.
1t is the opinion of the investiga-
tors that the three died within five
hours after their arrival home yes
terday morning. An investigation
revealed that there was no pipe to
carry the overflow gas pressure out
of the building which resulted in its
spreading through the building.
The mans body was found in bed
while that of his wife and daughter
were found in the hallway. which
would indicate that they made an
attempt to escape from the building
when they were awakened by the
fumes. The body of the mother ard
her daughter were found almost side
by side.
The gas meter is in the cellar.
the grocery floor on a level with
the street and the living apartment
,ne flight UP. After Chief Harring-
ton had found the bodies, DR.. Sam
uel Messenger was called and pro-
nounced all three dead. Coroner
Edward Hanson was notified and
gave 1e.rnit for burial. Report OF
the incident has been made to the
prosecutors office.
Deak was well to do, owning the
store and building he resided in and
almost the entire block around the
store building. He came to this
country from Hungary twenty six
years ago. A son, William, residing
in New York, survives. He has
been notified of the three deaths,
Nothing will be done with the
bodies until the arrival of their son,
William, who was notitled or tne
death of his parents at 9:2O this
morning by Chief of Police Har-
rington.
County Detective Ferd A. David,
who arrived shortly after IL o'clock,
went through the cellar and in
spected the gas apparatus. The
police then gave him the version of
details i'll connection with their as
phyxiation.
A sister of Mrs. Deak and her
daughter called to see the bodies.
The neighborhood in which Mr..
Deak was one of the respected
members gathered in front Of the
house.
