TO INVESTIGATE DOMESTIC
LIFE OF MUCH-ARRESTED MAN

NEW BRUNSWICK. April 2o:-
Mike Palko. of Woodbridge. a fire.
quent visitor of the county Jail,
greeted Judge John J. kirkpatrick
this morning with a pathetic look.
His sigh apparently weakened the
judges heart. Palko faced the judge
after having been on parole since
last Friday on charge of beating
his wife. Palko last week had five
indictments against him for assault
ing his wife Fannie. Instead OF sem
fencing Palko the judge thought that
an investigation Of the real truth in
the Palko domestic troubles would
be advisable. Probation Officer
Charles Macmillan has been put on
the case. Mrs. Palko failed to appear
in court today and this led the court
to believe that she may have some
particular reason for having Palko
behind the bars.

SOLDIER STARTS
ADDED FIGHT"
Army Recruiting Officer is Ar
rested Following Bouts at
the Auditorium

Anyone who attends sporting
function in this city should never
attempt, to argue about not receive
ing their moneys worth. local fans
agreed last night. OF late there have
been first class added attractions
in conjunction with a. majority OF
the athletic events staged here.
Last night while a good sized
crowd of fans were leaving the New
Brunswick avenue auditorium litter
witnessing a program of real fights,
they we're treated to a short fight,
short because it was stopped py the
police. Sergeant Jack Siegel, local
army recruiting officer. was al rrested
as a result of this alteration by
Officer Carl Monroe on complaint
of C. r. Weygand of Woodbridge.
Seigel was detained at headquar-
ters over night and in court this
morning the complainant told story
of Seigel blaming his son for the
pushing in the runway when the
crowd was leaving the auditorium.
Seigel hit Weygand in the face at
least once, but the recruiting officer
claims that the Woodbridge man
kicked him first and challenged him
to take off his coat and fight.
Recorder Pickersgill reserved de-
cision in the case this morning pend
Ing the appearance of some wit
nesses of the occurrence. The police
under Sergeant George Kozusko
worked fast in breaking up the fight
and dispensing the crowd which had
gathered in front of the auditor
ium.
A fight was an added attraction at
a basketball game in the New Bruns-
wick avenue hall earlier in the week
and obut two weeks ago two fights
and a near riot were staged in con-
nection with regular basketball
program.

Ripley GETS ONE TO five YEAR PRISON TERM
Opposition To World
Court Still Stronger
Stronger Than That Against
League of Nations, Is Claim
Made by Congressman

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Ex-
pressing the belief that Republican
opposition to the administration
world court membership proposal
was even stronger than that against
entrance into the league of nations,
Representative Will R. Wood of In
diana, chairman of the Republican
congressional campaign committee,
today told President Harding he be-
lieved it fas mistake for the party
to urge the proposition.
Mr.. Woods statement to the
president constituted the first open
opposition to Mr.. Harding's proposal
among Republican leaders outside of
the "irreconcilable" group of SEN
ators. Mr.. Wood said afterward the
president was not weakened in his
advocacy of the proposal as out
lined in the message to the senate
Just before adjournment of congress.
Continued advocacy of the world
court proposal in the opinion of
Representative Wood would either
create a schism in the Republican
party or deprive the party of clear
cut issue with the Democrats in 1924.
inasmuch as the Democrats seemed
generally favorable to American
membership on the court.
The congressional campaign COM
mittee chairman said he presented
his views as his own, but added that
he was sure they were shared by a
large group in the Republican party.
He told the President he had recent
ly visited Indiana and found there
and in other parts of the middle
west strong opposition to member
ship in any tribunal connected with
the League of Nations.
The President, in his talk with Mr..
Wood is understood to have taken
the position that the opposition was
based largely upon a nisunderstand-
ing of the conditions which void
attend acceptance of membership
and 1t was learned that the chief ex-
ecutive planned shortly to make a
statement or an address explanatory
of the proposal as advocated by the
administration.

LOCAL TRUCkMEN HELD
FOR LIQUOR VIOLATION

Alex Sitnitsky thirty-nine, a
truckman of Florida Grove road,
was taken into custody by Detective
John Murray yesterday and entered
on the blotter at police headquarters
for a violation of the state prohibi-
ton law. Andrew Novak, also OF
Florida Grove road, is entered as the
complainant. Sitnitsky was before

Camden county, for transporting
beer in violation of the prohibition
law. Following his arrest, it is said,
he informed the Colllngswood au-
thorities that Sitnitsky had sent him
out for the beer and II is believed
cne of Sitnitsky's trucks were used.
The chief of the Collingswood po-
lice department was in town on this
ease and appeared ip court this
morning. A new complaint may be
drawn up before Monday night. Il
is not known where the seized beer

MERCY SHOWN
CONVICTED man
Woodbridge Man Gets Light
Sentence Following Recon-
mendation by the Jury
DROVE DEATH CAR
That Killed Local Man III
State Street and Then
Speeded Away IS

NEW BRUNSWICK, April 20.---
Homer W. Ripley, proprietor of the
Woodbridge hotel Ii Woodbrige,
found guilty of mansiaughter by -
Jury last week, was this morning
sentenced to from one to five years
in states prison by County Judge
John Kirkpatrick. The sentence.
which is considered a light one, IN
view of the evidence brought out
against Ripley in the trial, was in
keeping with the suggestion Of the
jury which tried Ripley. that mercy
be shown him.
Ripley, according to the states
charges was the driver of the car
which struck and killed George Benz
yak on outer State street, Perth
Amboy. on the night OF January Is.
The state r~bduced witnesses to
show that Ripley's car had killed
Benyak and that Ripley was sntoxf-
Gated On the day and night OF the
accident.
Frederick F. Richardson, attorney
for the defendant, emphasized the
fact that none of the witnesses 11ad
testified to identifying Ripley as the
oriver-of the car and brought out the
possibility of someone else having
driven the car. The possibility Of
Ripley being the victim OF alcoholic
dementia, caused by excessive drink
ing, was brought by the defense.
Attorney Richarson today placed
before the court a petition signed
by a number of Woodbridge resi-
dents asking that leniency be shown
in sentencing Ripley. The signers
Of this petition did not ask that Rip
ley be set free, but asked for a light
sentence in view of his previous
good record.
Judge kirkpatrick said he had
been approached by. several persons
who spoke in Ripley's behalf and
urged leniency in sentencing him.
In addition TO the term of from ona
to five years in prison Ripley via
be called upon to pay the costs OF
the case.

charging them with fraud in the
purchase of lands of the w. J. DON

boy for the approach to the new
state bridge over the Raritan river,
from Perth Anboy to South Amboy.
The four former highway commits
Noners deny any wrongdoing in con-
nection with the purchase of the
Donnell property for $230,000, all
declaring that 1t was impossible to
purchase the land for any less, and
these defendants contend the court
of chancery has no. jurisdiction in
The matter. The defendants asks
that the action be dismissed.
Mr.. Burton declares in his reply
kthat all other negotiations with the
IDonneil Company, with the excep-
ton of the final one, were unsuccess-
full as that company insisted that
the value of their property was
S255,000. The former chairman ad-
mits that al the meeting of the nigh
way commission on May 10 1922, he
directed the boards attention to the
fact that 1t would be possible to
make some progress with the bridge
IL the Donnell matter We're settled
and suggested the disposal of the
property question, he believing II
desirable to get all of the Donneli
lands.
The ousted chairman of the high
Nay board states in his answer that
Z still believes the board did right
"a acquiring the Donnell property.
Alr. Butron denies that he secured
npraisals on ths Donnell lands from
ne Perth Amboy Trust Companys
cal estate department. or from
Fraser Brothers & Company, Perth
Amboy realty concern. These val
uations are the one which appraised
The property at an amount equal to
that paid for it by the state. These
appraisals, according to the former
chairman, had been on file for a
year previous, and. although he
knew about their existence, Mr..
Burton says, he did not procure
them for the board.
The ousted chairman states fur
ther in his reply that he may have
said he believed the price asked by
the Donnell Company was not ex-
orbitant, for that is the way he felt
at the time and still thinks.
In closing his reply to the charges
of Attorney General McCran, Mr..
Burton says there is no cause for
action and that the chancery court
is without jurisdiction In the mat
ter as the state has no right under
law or equity to carry on this case.
Former Vice Chancellor Merritt
Lane, of Newark, represents Mr..
Burton in this case.
