LAPP AMBASSADOR
 COMPLAINS ID KING
States That Swedish Frontiers
 men Threaten Existence Of People

Washington, April 27.--A Lapr .ambassador" from the Swedish north country who recently visited the King of Sweden to complain that Swedish frontiersmen threaten the existence of his people by interfering with pasturage for their reindeer, re- introduces these rovers of the Arctic to world that had almost forgot ten them. A bulletin from the Wash ington headquarters of the National Geographic society tells something of what it terms "thcse, queer little folk who live under the rays of the mid night sun--and the darkness of the winter midday"
 "The Lapps are bred-in-the-bone internationalists." says the bulletin. Like the Papago Indians or Arizona and Mexico and the forest dwellers along the Brazilian Peruvian line, they have lofty disregard for political boundaries; they not only cross as they see fit, but take great herds of reindeer with them, pastur- ing them today in Sweden and to- morrow in Norway with scant cere- mony.
 NomadisIn Must he Served
 "The Lapland of the maps spreads into four distinct countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Once the Lapps paid no attention whatever to any of the boundary line in their re- zion. But Russian and Finnish bound aries were eventually closed officially against Norway and Sweden; and while some struggling still takes place, the larger movements were stopped. Norway and Sweden. however, take official cognizance of the needs of their nomadic joint citizens, and have treaty agreement whereby Lapps

$1,000. This figure is arrived at by
estimating the cost of a concert to
be not more than SIPS.
The Park Commission spends

park commission took over the work
of the park at that time in order to
allow the panitors more time Tor

Public Utility Hearing Will be
Held Either in MataWan
or keyport

1t was learned today that the
Public Utility Commission will set
a date within the next three weeks
for a public hearing at either Mat
avian or Keyport, on the petition
of the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany that they be allowed to aban-
don their line. The decision of the
commission to hold the hearing at
either Matawan or Keyport is said
to be due to the fact that it is de-
sired to have the citizens of the COM
munities most affected by the aban-
donment of the line present at a
hearing and give them chance TO
voice their approval or disapproval
of such move on the part of the
trolley company.
The officials of the municipalities
through which the cars operate real
ize that the company may not be
making a lot of money, but they are
also said to be of the opinion that
some provision must be made for
the citizen who does not own an au-
tomobile and must use the trolley
cars or other means of transporta-
ton 20 reach his or her work.
In the petition to abandon the line
the traction company claims they
are running behind $4,000 a month
and see no way of overcoming this
loss. William II. Hitchcock, the gem
eral manager of the company, when
discussing the matter with an Even
ing News reporter at the time the
petition was filed, declared that the
company has never been a paying
proposition. Mr.. Hitchcock said,
however. that the company if given
permission to abandon the line by
the Public Utility Commission, would
continue to operate the cars until
other means of transportation had
been arranged.

FALSE FIRE CRY
At MOVIE HERE
Reward of S1O0 Offered by
Strand Theatre for Men,
Riot Was Averted

The sum of 500 is being offered
as a reward to anyone who can
identify the person or persons who
caused the commotion at the Strand
theatre last night by calling out
fire. The cry of fire caused a near
panic at the Strand and only the
showing of the picture and
the playing of the orchestra made
the large audience present realize
that the cry was a false one and
they resumed their seats.
For a time it appeared as if the
audience, numbering several hum
dred persons. who made a rush for
the doors and some one would be
injured. but the more calm ONES
pres mt soon returned to their seats
and those who had become undu!y
excited did likewise. The reward
has been offered by NJ. L. Shannon.
the manager of the theatre.
According to what can be learned
concerning the affair, three young
men ranging in age from 20 to %
years, entered the theatre early in
the evening and took seats in the
balcony. They started to leave the
theatre at about 1915 O'Clock and
as they walked towards the stairway
leading from tht balcony to the or
chestra one of the trio shouted
fire"
In a moment the entire audience
was on its feet and a move was
being made for the exit doors. The
youths who had caused the COM
motion mingled with the crowd and
coul not be located by the theatre
attendants. The cry of fire had been
loud and was even heard above the
musio of the orchestra. Employees
of the Strand are instructed to stick
to their post no matter what hao-
pens and due to this law of the
theatre the music and photoplay
continued and the audience realizing
that nothing was wrong again took
their seats and the show ended with
out further disorder.

"Inside" Suggested Testi-
mony of Convict

TRENTON, May 26-Charging
that Vincent Murray, the convict
who accused him of brutality be-
cause he would not steal, offered this
testimony at the suggestion Of man
on the inside" of prison affairs.
Paul Mclaughlin, former deputy
and now an Assistant United States
Marshal, yesterday voluntarily ap-
peared before the joint committee
which is probing conditions at the
state prison. The committee repre-
sents the State Board of Institutions
and Agencies and the Board Of Pris-
on Managers.
An effort was made by commits
sioner Lewis to sidetrack MeLauSh-
Inns testimony. although it went TO
the heart of the charges made by
Murray at the last meeting of the
Joint committee, but TWO members
of the Board OF Managers of the
prison, William A. Barkalow, OF
Freehold, and former AssemblXman
George W. Adams. Of Trenton, IN
sisted that the former deputy keep
er be heard to clear up the situation.
Mclaughlin named, as the man
responsible for the attack on him,
Charles II. Clayton. also former
pllSOH deputy anu nov t7bFNA -H1N- -
State Euse Industries at the pris-
on and a member of the staff of the
Board of Institutions and Agencies.
Murray had alleged that Nc

goods. mentioning among other
things automobile magnetos. Because
he refused the deputy beat him
up" said the prisoner. When asked
| if it was true that he had tried to
take a magnetic out of the prison,

Absolutely no. 1 had nothing to
do with the magnetic.

member OF the Board Of Institutions

ed that he did
who is it" queried Mr.. Barke-
low.
Mr. Clayton, answered MeLaugh
lin.
The former deputy in answer to
another question said he would be
willing to prefer charges against
Clayton under oath, under condition
that certain testimony, alleged to be
untruthful taken at the probe last
fall is stricken from the record, SO
as not to prejudice the case.
Mclaughlin also related how Clay
ton had threatened TO get him,
some time ago when he was en-
ployed at the prison. Commissioner
Lewis took exception to certain por-
tions of the former deputy's testi-
mony yesterday given here before
the Joint Committee. When the
latter was relating some incidents
of last falls probe by the Board
of Institutions and Agencies which
the witness said had been prejudi-
cial to him, Mr.. Lewis was heard TO
comment:
Hes a liar He's a liar This
was in an undertone.
Remember YOU are under oath
he then declared. looking at Me
Laughlin The latter assured him
he was aware of this.
