CL1FFWOOD, Oct. 31--Rum run
ming activity along the Cliffwood
Beach sands has apparently ceased
with the abandonment VI a huge
navy type hydroairplane here two
months ago Charlie The Bootleg
ger" who is believed to have been
the head of the rum fleet of aero
planes used in the transportation of
bootleg liquor along the coast, maxi
ing frequent and non-heralded stops
along the beach has disappeared
as If by magic. Charlie, according
to farmers in that vicinity has not
been seen. for over two months, Just
about the time the flying boat made
its unseen landing and no one has
claimed it's ownership.
There is a general belief that the
isolation of the Cliffwood beach has
made it possible for the booze run
ners to make their landings safe.
Liquor was brought to the shore and
then carted away in waiting auto
mobiles OF late, however, their
activities were found out by men
who were working along the beach
in connection with the development
The beach which had a fe = or no
visitors in recent years has become
known through wide publicity given
by real estate operators who will
develop the waterfront next spring.
The increasing visitors, 1t is said,
hampered the work of the bootleg
gers there. However. there is still
mystery why the plane has been
entirely abandoned. Observers be-
lieve that when the airplane made
its last landing, tip was given them
that federal agents were on their
heels. Still under the impression
that the agents are on the close
watch OF the plane. the owner or
owners fail to claim it,

BUS SERVICE
IS CRITICIZED
Organizer Tells Owners They
are Losing Money by Cut
throat Methods

Speaking at the organization
meeting of the bus owners of Mid
dlesex county here last night, Frank
f.. Schoenfeld. state organizer of the
Allied Bus Association, criticized the
bus condition of the city and county
and the deplorable service rendered
because of cut-throat methods en-
ployed by competitive bus drivers.
The speaker pointed out to the bus
men that they were ten years be-
hind In their business and that they
are loosing thousands of dollars, due
TO dlsorganization. Mr.. Schoenfeld
said that their methods are sure
sooner or later to attract the atten-
tlon OF city and county officials who
by virtue of their rights will put
them out of business. In detail he
described how the buses roll along
Smith street leisurely and pick up
speed when they notice another bus
behind them.
The speaker made a plea for or
ganization of all the bus men in the
county in the form of pool as ex-
erclsed in the other counties. He al
SO pleaded for the men to join the
Allied Bus Owners Association to
light their so-called arch enemy -
the Public Service Railway.
I'VE have cut deep into their
profits" the speaker said. "and now
the Public Service is putting every
effort forth to put us off the road.
Ihey are using financial nd politi-
cal influence. They are using the
legislature and every possible
means" sIr. Schoenfeld said that
they have Sl0,000,000 at stake which
is invested in the bus bust Tess
throughout the state: In conclusion
he described the fight now being
made by bus people in such counties
as hudson and Essex who are being
nailed one by one before the Public
Utility Commission.
George l.. Record. counsel for the
Allied Bus Owners Association, who
declared himself to be a foe of the
Public Service, told the bus men last
night that they have put a crimp in
the business of the Public Service
Railway He declare. that their
passenger business has been de-
creased from S75,000,000 fares to
20,000,000 due to good bus service
rendered. declared that the Public
Service is l<no- n all over the country
as the slowest to adopt any improve
ment methods and also attacked the
works behind the strong corpora
ton.
The meeting brought the desired
results. Tentative plans were taken
to organize the bus men of the coun-
ty. William A. Rosenvinge was ap-
pointed chairman. He is to call a
meeting for next Thursday night
when definite organization plans will
be completed. Axel Falkenstrom,
A. Cerbo and James Dullas were ap-
pointed as delegates to attend the
state meeting to be held shortly.

Seeks Missing Wife
Here; Was LOcdI Girl
Mrs. Margaret H. Lane,
Daughter of Michael
Stumpf, Vanishes

Perry c. Lane of Garrett, In
diana, arrived in Perth Amboy to
assist the authorities in the search
for his wife, Mrs. Margaret Helen
Lane twenty-five. who left Cleve-
land, o.. Saturday night on visit to
ner parents, MIR. and Mrs. Michael
Stumpf, of 705 Cortlandt street, but
never reached her destination.
AS related at the home of the
girls parents her HUSBAND accom-
panied his wife from Garrett to
about 8 o'clock Saturday night and
Mr.. Lane sent a wire here saying
that she would arrive at the New
York terminal about o'clock the
next day. From the telegraph sta
ton Mr.. Lane went to the railroad
depot, where he purchased a
through ticket to New York and
saw his wife off, as the train pulled
out of the Cleveland station. When
she failed to arrive at the time spec
ified in the wire the Stumpf family
communicated with the husband on
Monday, who alarmed over her dis
appearance, appealed to the au-
thorities to find her.
Mr.. Lane on his arrival here at
once left for police headquarters
here urging assistance. The bureau
of missing persons in New York was
notified and they too have instituted
a nation wide hunt for the girl 1t
was said today that reward for her
recovery has been offered.
Mrs. Lane is pretty blonde,
about five feet five inches tall and
weighing 170 pounds. She wore a
black coat and four piece, a black
cloth dress, black stockings and
patent leather pumps and carried
a handbag. She has scar on her
forehead and two gold teeth in her
lower jaw.
Mrs. Stumpf cannot account for
her sudden disappearance. The girl
has not known anyone in East and
was unfamiliar with New York. Her
theory is thai Helen has made a
stop off en- route East and prolonged
her stay. In the last four years,
since she married Lane, the girl
came East and remained for several
weeks at the home of her parents.
Her last visit here was in April of
this year. The girls sister and her
mother denied rumors that there has
been any marital rift, declaring
that her daughter appeared to be
happy since her marriage.
