MiTAWAN MARSHAL DOES
SPECIAL POLICE DUTY

= MATAWAN. Dec. 6.-For some
nights past Borough Marshal John
Mulsoff has been doing some special
police duty for the county. Recently
he had a peculiar experience at
Keansburg. According to the story
told to Chief of County Detectives
John M. Smith, Chief Mulsoff and
other constables were searching for
liquor smugglers along the bay shore
at K~eansburg when they encountered
Officer Sears, of the Keansburg po-
lice, who asked them what they
wanted. They showed their badges
and informed the Keansburg officer
they were on the trail of bootleggers.
At that the K~eansburg officer is
alleged to have ordered Chief Null
soft and his aides to get out of the
borough and stay out.
About an hour after the first
warning, Officer Sears again encoun-
tered Chief Mulsoff and the con-
stables searching the waterfront near
Cars Dock at Keansburg. This time
the Keansburg officer threatened to
arrest the five men in Mulsoff's
Party unless they left Keansburg at
cnce. Chief Mulsoff and his men
left the borough at this warning,
reported to Detective ]. T. Rue and
told their story.
Officer Sears in explaining his
ftion, said he was skeptical of the
syadges the men displayed, because
several men recently robbed a
Keansburg store after telling the
Keansburg authorities they were de-
tectives.
There are some persons in this
borough who wonder how Chief of
Police Mulsof a take part in these
affairs when he Is receiving a salary
to look after the borough ana should
be in town, they maintain.
The work being done by Chief
Mulsoff and his corps of constables
is in connection with the action re-
Gently taken by Prosecutor Sexton

C~o-Ordinated Service
Means Quality Service

ABILITY to render safe, adequate and satisfactory service in an
efficient manner under all prevailing conditions"
The foregoing is the standardby which the merits of any
medium of transportation must be judged, in the opinion
of a Committee of automobile manufacturers and traffic
men OF national reputation, as recently expressed in a re-
port to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.
What transportation medium measures up to such a
standard?
Experience in New Jersey and elsewhere has demon
srated beyond a doubt that buses cannot and do not at
tempt to give adequate service under all prevailing con-
ditions. Trolleys are indispensable.
= The two forms of passenger hansit-mdor vehicle and
electric rairoad-cannot permanently exist in . community and
pay their way in competition with each other" say the same Com
mhHee.
AS both cannot exist in competition and as the people
must continue to have service, the logical and sensible \
thing to do is to coordinate trolley and bus service
under a single management, subject to proper State and
municipal regulation.

STR|B BEATS DARCY
IN GREAT FIGHT At
PARK IN COLUMBUS
Macon Boy Retrieves Glory Lost
in Fight With Carbone in
Atlanta
sTRIBLING LED ALL WAY
Darcy Described as "Some Hit
ter" and Landed Occasion
ally With Good Effect

COLUMBUS, June 5.-Younp
Stribling rose to the greatest
heights of his fistic career here Tast
night, and after a tea-round bonn
bardment of Jimmy Dascy's head
land body which cut the Eas.erner
H. ribbons, he was awarded the
judges decision by a wide margin.
In the words Of Manager Smith,
Darcy's face was covered with
plastered the Oregon Apple" And
the Peach made good job of it.
Stribling led all the way, and
from the opening gong had Glib
bon's cOnquerer in distress. His
.ghts and lefts carried more steam
than they ever showed Before, and
Darcy's face was coveerd with
blood at thend of the opening ses.
sion. By the end of the second
he was splitting blood freely.
Though Strib's power was greater
than in any fight before, even
those plle-driving blows were not
enough to put the sturdy Oregon
battler down. Darcy took more
punishment than any man who ever
fought in Columbus stood up under
before.
The Macon boy fought the great
est battle of his life, but even SO,
he received from his opponent
some stiff counters. Darcy can hit
some himself, and he landed on
Stribling with great effect when
he landed at all.
Stribling jumped off to a huge
lead in the first two rounds, and
held it all the way. He was in
clned to S low up a bit in the third
and fourth, but the fifth found
HIM opening up his barrage again,
and Darcy again suffered visiblv.
The seventh was the one and on
" round the judge could see in
Darcy S favor. He did his best
work in this frame, and earned an
even tally in the ninth. All other
eight stanzas were easily Strib-
ling's.
Darcy resorted to hitting low
on number of occasions, and was
warned number of times by Lieut..
Fay Smith, of Fort Bennings. who
handled the bout in great shape.

The shooting OF ninth is said to
have been the result of a quarrel over
an automobile. Although the negro's
side OF the question has not been
heard since he is not to be found 1t
seems from the testimony given by
e. Holloway, partner to the wounded
man. that Whitney still owed Smith
for a Studebaker car he had pur'
chased from him. Smith had sold the
car to the negro n few weeks age
with the understanding it was to be
paid for in junk. Only about a fitth
of the purchase price had boon paid
in this way at the time Of the affair
yesterday,
1t is said that Whitney came to the
junk yard in a quarrelsome mood
and that he and Smith engaged in an
argument. The negro went away and
returned with a gun. firing twice at
Smith without further p~rovocation'
He probably obtained the gun from
his home since he lives only a few
blocks from the yards.
Hathaway was given a revolver by
another colored man who stood near
at the time. n Holloway fired sew

however.
