MISUNDERSTANDING
kedrny Park Named
Would Change Name of Hayes
Tract Where Homestead
Will be Placed

Progress was reported last night
at the meeting of the Historical So
ciety, in the Library, on the remov-
ing of the old Kearny homestead to
the Hayes tract. 1t was proposed at
this meeting to petition the alder
men to change the name of the
Hayes tract to kearny Park in view
of the fact that the Kearny home is
being placed there. This matter will
finally be decided at the meeting of
the society to be held, June 20.
1t was also decided to appoint a
committee to arrange for the form
ing of a woman's auxiliary.
An interesting part of the meeting
was the reading from a book of rec
ords kept by the Golding family
from 1885 to 1852. These records
were of particular interest to those
who enjoy hearing of the early his
tory of the city.
AT the next meeting of the society,
which will be held on June 20, the
speaker will be Rev. F. T. B. Rey-
nolds, of Keyport.

NO LUNCHEONS'
GOVERNOR SAYS
Governor Decides to Abandon
Custom of Serving Lunch
on Governors Days

TRENTON. June 2:-The lunch
cons which have been served for
many years at the Sea Girt national
guard encampment on the so-called
Governors Days when the execu-
tives held receptions at the canton
ment, will be eliminated this year,
Governor Silzer announced today as
well as the invitations which have
been sent out in the past to persons
in the various counties. inviting them
TO attend the receptions. Governors :
Day comes around one day a week
as long as the encampment lasts,
and the luncheons have been served
at state expense.
Governor Silzer said that there
has been so much criticism about
the food and the service at the
tuncheons- and that there has been
so great a crowd at the affairs that
they grew TO be unsatisfactory both
to the guests and 10 the state.
AT time when these gatherings
were small, limited number OF in
dividuals We're invited" said the
governor in giving his reason for
not sending out invitations. Now,
it is not possible TO send invitations
without unaYoidably omitting many
who ought to be invited, because,
after all, the camp belongs TO all
the citizens of the state.
"All are welcome 10 the camp,
as heretofore, irrespective Of party.
Instead of serving a luncheon at enc
o clock, there will be a reception.
without luncheon. at two o'clock,
followed by a review at three-thirty." q"
Governor Silzer said he hoped
that when the regiments are in camp
the relatives and friends of the
soldiers will attend on review DAYS
without further invitation and be
present at the Governors reception
rs well as to witness the parade
and visit the men in camp.
The encampment Will open July

With the whereabouts of B. NJ.
Cannon. Middlesex's county clerk
and Democratic leader, still unknown
the possibility now arises that he
will not be located by the states sub
poena server before the hearing into
alleged graft in connection with the
bridge approach purchase by the
ousted highway com mission is re-
sumed at Trenton next Tuesday
morning. There is not the least
doubt but that Cannon is success
fully lodging the states subpoena
server and the fact that he has not
been located 10 date would indicate
that he will experience no difficulty
in keeping from public view until
after Tuesday, If he so desires.
There are those who feel confident
that Cannon will appear at the State
House Tuesday morning voluntarily
without being served. If he should
do this, it would be equivalent to
having been subpoenaed as he has
been givn an opportunity 10 volun-
Itarily testify before the probe COM
mittee and failed to avail himself of
the chance. Following his failure
TO appear Attorney General Thomas
F. McCran gave orders that Cannon
be located and subpoenaed, thus
forcing him to testing in the case.

MORE CAPT|VES
ARE RELEASED
Four More Foreigners Held
by Chinese Outlaws Are
at Liberty Today
TELEGRAM is RECEIVED
One American and Two Brit
lSh Subjects are Freed
Now in Relief Camp
CBY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Four more of the foreign captives
held by the Suchow train bandits,
one American. two British subjects
ana one Mexican citizen. have been
released uneonditionally and arrived
today at the relief camp of Tsao-
chwang, according to a telegram
from there.
Those released today were Jerome
A. Henley American. Commodore
hotel, New York. employed by the
tearon Daniel Company at Shang-
hal; Edward Elias and Theodore
Saphiere. both British subjects. and
brokers of Shanghai; Manuel A.
We're manufacturer of Guadalaiara,
Mexico
The dispatch from Tsaochwang
said prospects were for the speedy
release of the eight other foreigners
imprisoned on Paotzuku mountain.
The international military COM
mission reached Tsaochwang today
and sent in an ahpfane to recon-
noiter the bandits position.
The eight foreigners still held, at
last reports from the Shantune
Hills, included four Americans:
Major Roland W. Pinger, Ordnance
man of Chicago. and Shanghai; John
Usher. and Lee Solomon of San
Francisco and Shanghai. The others
were Fred Elias, a broker Of Shang-
hal and brother of Edward Elias,
who was released today, and Regi-
nald H. Rowlatt, of Tientsin, both
British; Emile Gensburger, Shanghai
broker, French: G. D. Musso. lawyer
and capitalist. of Shanghai, italian.
The release of most of them was
expected hourly, though it was con-
sidered likely that the bandits might
hold two or three pending fulfill
ment of all the exactions demanded
of the Chinese government. One re-
port said that the last foreigner
would not be freed until the last of
the outlaw band had been enrolled
in the army. The favorable prog
ress of the negotiations yesterday
and today. however. indicated that
the entire settlement of the affair
probably would be effected IN a few
days
The international military commits
sion which reached TsaochwanE to-
day is headed by Brigadier General
William D. Connor.i commander of
the American troops in China. The
diplomatic corps gave the commits
sion a free hand. beyond instructing
it to investigate the measures taken
by the Chinese government to free
the captives. and to inquire into the
bandits situation in general. The
commission is expected to make a
report on the number and d.sposi-
tion of the Chinese troops projecting
the districts bordering on the ban
dts strongholds.
The ability of the troops to pre-
vent a recurrence of the Suchow train
raid on May 6. which resulted in
the present situation. will be inquir-
ed into in view OF the fears express
ed on every side that bandits viii be
emboldened to commit new depre-
dations.

Bill Is Dead

ALBANY, n. Y, June 2. - The
Mullan-Gage state prohibition en-
forcement bill is dead.
Governor Smith killed it at six
o'clock yesterday evening with the
few strokes of a pen necessary to af-
fix his signature to the legislatures
repeal bill, adopted four weeks ago
In announcing his action, the gov
ernor called for common sense"
modification of the Volstead Act. by
congress, which would fix the alco-
holic content of permissible bever-
ages at point that would maI- pos
sible the sale of beer and light wines
in states that want them.
This answer to appeals from many
sources for action that would start
the ball rolling toward modification
of the Volstead Act, is counted by his
supporters to make i'm a formidable
bidder for the pl eSsdential nominal
tion on a liberal" platform in 1924.
The Mullan-Gage Act passed out
with few formalities. Reporters who
had swarmed the corridors about the
executive chamber all day, were ad-
mitted at six o'clock, Just in time to
see the governor lifting a blotter
from his wet signature. He smiled

Still Not a Word From
County Clerk Whose
Story is Wanted
He MAY SHOW UP

The unwillingness on the part OF
Cannon TO testify would naturally
give one the opinion that his tes-
timony is of such vital importancs
that he does not care TO give to the
committee all of the information IN
his possession IN this case.
Attorney General McCran has
handled the investigation thorough-
ly from the start and he has not
allowed the most trifing matter or
incident slip by without an explana-
ton of some kind from the wit-
nesses. Cannon, who is now expect
ed to be the star witness in the
case, is believed to possess informa-
tion which will ineriminate others
in this scandal which promises to
be far-reaching before the last tes-
timony has been given.
Cannon is charged with being the
recipient of s25, 600 in bonds, given
him by Thomas J. Evans of the w.
j. Donnell Lumber Company as
compensation for the Influence" he
might exert in having the old high
way board pay fair price for the
Donnell land which was purchased
as a bridge approach. The fair"
price in this case was $3.50, 900
representing S140, 900 more than
the states own appraisers had val
ued the land.
Thus far only $4,000 has beer
mentioned as having been paid fol
influence IN putting the dea
through but az least another $50
600 is likely 10 be brought Nntc~ti1s
matter before it is finished. If hints
made by the attorney general bear
fruit.
George L Burton, cha;r,nan OF the
ousted commission. viii also be in
the spotlight at Tuesdays hearing
as he was the man. according to the
testimony given by the other for
mer highway commissioners, that
engineered the deal, told the board

600 and then arranged with the
Donnell firm members TO have the.
deed signed. Burton also viii be
asked 10 explain his action last
August in depositing in the South
River National Bank interest cou
pons on bonds after he had told
the attorney general that he owned
nc bonds.
McCran has already declared that
the possibility that these bonds were
part of those given to Cannon by
Evans stands open 10 conjecture.
The names Of the bonds given Gam
non and those from which the coup
ons deposited by Burton We're CLIP
ped are expected 70 be before the
committee Tuesday.
