South Continues
o Investigation

SOUTH AMBoY, Jan. 2s.-The
local police are still actively engaged
in the work of investigating the
death Of John Houlihan, the world
war veteran, whose mangled body
was found on the New York & Long
Branch railroad tracks, opposite
1.-THE South Amboy Terra Gotta plant
on last Wednesday morning. Thus
far, the police are of the opinion that
Houlihan was struck by a train
shortly after midnight, and that a
number Of freight trains between
that hour and the lime the body was
found, passed over the body.
The information thus far obtained
by the police was instrumental in
bringing about the search and seiz-
ure of a quantity, Of what the in
vestigators believe, to be Illicit
liquor. According to the informa-
ton given the police by Patrick Glib
bons and Peter Genera. fellow work
ers at the Morgan plant, and who
claim to have been in company with
Houlihan on the night he met his
untimely death, the party of three
were at abolish place, which also
is within a stones throw Of the rail-
road. The men claim to have pur-
chased and drank liquor at Kollish's
place, although Kollish maintains
that he never manufactured or sold
any kind Of liquor.
The investigation, together with
| the raid and the death Of Houlihan,
have spurred the local police, under
the direction Of Acting Chief
Gleason, to ,untiring action. The in
vestigation may mean that before
the week is out, 9 number of per
sons, who are under suspicion for
making and selling liquor, will find
themselves under arrest. Acting
| Chief OF 3pltce Gleason said late Sat
urday hiS men were only starting.
He pointed out where some of the
men had been doing double duty,
both in uniform and in civilian
clothes, in an. effort to bring to jus
tice those who peddle and make bad
liquor.
'HThe men are instructed to be ex-
ceptionalIy vigilaut," said the act
ing chief. ."ItbeIieve the force will
do its utmost to uncover places
where liquor is being manufactured
and sold to poor unfortunates. who
crave the deadly stuff" The police
were of the opinion that the pro-
posed search of the Kollish place
was made known o Kollish before
the police got there at all.
The. Kollish, family has a nice
home, situated on a hill overlooking
Raritan bay. Plenty Of livestock
and a thriving milk business, are
owned by Kollish.
Everything at his place seemed to
be in perfect order. The milk sta
ton was Immediately clean, and
the home was in the same. good or
der. Several minutes before the
raid. the little family, together with
the hired man, sat and played cards
at the table, while one Of the police
officers watched.

arrived, that which seemed to be
peace. was turned into turmoil, and

"BIG DONGS" TODAY
IN The LEGISLATURE
CONTINUED from page u

Mrs. Maud Swartz, president of
the National Trade Union League, is
scheduled to make the principal ad-
dress in behalf of the bill before the
committee, which will open the hear
ing at $3.50 today. This will be pre-
coded by a luncheon-forurl of the
New Jersey Women's Republican
Club at the Stacey-Trent at 1890
o'clock at which Mrs. Eeickert, the
leader in the fight for this bill, will
preside. The topic for discussion
will be women and children in in
dustry."
Just who will present the oppo-
sition at today's hearing remained to
be developed. Last year women from
the Passaic county mills and factor
les told the committee they wanted
their working hours left as they
were. There was a feeling in some
quarters that these speakers were
present at the inspiration of their
employers.
The hearing on the Whitney util-
ity commission bills was scheduled
to begin this morning at 1880 be-
fore the same senate judiciary COM
mittee which this afternoon takes
UP the women employment question.
Senator Stevens, Republic whip in
the upper House, Is chairman of this
body and the other members are
Pierson, of Union and Simpson, Of
Hudson, the Democratic leader.
It is expected that the Public Ser
vice Corporation, the holding COM
pany for the Public Service Gas,
Public Service Electric and the Pub
lie Service Railway Companies, will
be one of the chief concerns to be
represented at the hearing on the
bill to put the books of holding COM
panies under the scrutiny of the
utility J Dard. The passage Of such
an act would widen the field Of in
| quiry the board would have in ar
irving at a just conclusion as to what
the subsidiaries of the holding COM
panies should have in the way OF
rates from the public. The other
bill to prevent increases becoming
effective during an appeal, merely
holds off the companies getting a
Jump in rates until the courts have
passed upon their action and pend
ing a re-hearing by the utility com
mission.
Late this afternoon the joint Re-
publican confab on the much-dis-
cussed road department legislation
will be held. Governor Silzer will
likely send to this conference his
suggestions for places on the new
commission, so that the G. o. p
members may know what to expect
in the calibre of the new board, in
the event they pass a bill giving Mr..
Silzer power to name the members.
The legislature will meet in joint
session tomorrow morning TO choose
the new state comptroller. The Re-
publicans being in the majority will
re-elect Mr.. Bugbee for a third term
of three years at $4,000 a year.
| There was some talk for a time that
he might meet with opposition. but
this has all vanished and the Mercer
county man is the choice of all the
Republican state leaders for another
term.
Democratic organization leaders
will await with interest tonight the
word from the executive chamber
as to appointments which Mr.. Sill
ger has at his disposal at this time.
Last Monday night the governor was
too busy with his address to the law
makers on the highway situation to
send in any nominations. To date
he has not handed out one Job.
