1t is said Bozo and Carderson had n
row over a woman and the welding
of a razor by the former followed.

WELCOME LLOYD GEORGE
IN WASHINGTON TODAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-David
Lloyd George, who as premier of
Great Britain played a memorable
role in the great war and in the max
ing of the peace that followed it,
came to Washington today.
Apiece with the dramatic thread
which has run through his entire
career, his arrival here came at a
time when the turbulent affairs of
Europe appear again to be verging
toward a crisis and when talk of
American aid in European recon-
struction has had at least a mo-
mentary revival. The parting ad-
dress of Ambassador Harvey in Lon
don, the new German request for n
survey of her ability to pay repara-
tions. and renewed proposals for IL
world economic conference all put
their touches of color into the back
ground of the long string of confer
ences arranged between the British
statesman and the directing minds
of the American nation.
Secretary Hughes and then Presi-
dent Coolidge were on the former
premier's calling list for the first few
hours of his three day visit. Late in
the day he was to pay a call on
Woodrow Wilson. who like him had
filled one of the leading roles in the
drama of war and peace, and on the
only other living ex-president, Chief
Justice Taft.

FreehOIderS Tell OF
County Seat JanitOTS

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 25.-
The Republican Board of Freehold
ers this morning issued the first of
a series of replies to charges hurl-
ed at them by the Democratic or
ganization in the county. Today's
article tells the number of janitots
employed and particulars about
them.
- Articles have appeared lately as
serting that there are ten janitors
employed around county buildin gs.
In 1918 when the Republican
Board Of Freeholders took office they
found that the janitor force around
the county buildings, consisted of
eleven men. There were three en-
ployees and eight workhouse pris-
oners who took care of them, the
courthouse and the county record
building because the jail was at that
time under construction. All the
prisoners used were kept at the
county workhouse and were what is
known as Workhouse prisoners. They
were transported daily backward and
forward, a total distance of from
twelve to fifteen miles. Inasmuch as
the county record building is occu
pied shortly after s o'clock in the
morning and the courthouse shortly
after o'clock, and is kept busy un-
til we'll after o'clock in the after
noon, for public business, 1t has been
found 1t necessary to do a large por-
tion of the work before o'clock in
the morning and after 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. A portion of the jan
ltors are expected to report at 6 o.
clock in the morning and n portion
are expected to work until o'clock
at night or until such time as the
work is properly completed.
1.-THE workhouse prisoners were
not delivered at the county buildings
until too late in the morning to be
of any great service and for that
reason this arrangement was not
satisfactory. The Republicans how
ever, continued the same system that
the Democratic party had inaugural
ed until the Jail was finished. Where
upon, they Immediately requested the
sheriff to board these so-called work
house prisoners at the Jail. The then
Sheriff Anderson refused to consent
to this arrangement.
'The Board of Freeholders then
requested permission to use the
prisoners in Sheriff Anderson's Gus
tody and this request was also refus-
ed. the sheriff taking the position
that these were so-called court pris-
oners and were not to be used for
this work. Facing this dilemma, the

Board OF Freeholders were forced to
hire employees in place of prisoners.
when the Democrats had con-
troll of the county buildings they
found 1t absolutely necessary to use
eleven men to keep the buildings in
condition. The Republican board
has just six janitors, namely: Will
liam McGrath. Charles Rhoades,
James Wright, Frank Kirby, Sedley
Lee and John Meyers, paying them
$115 per month. or $3.50 per day.
This list OF course does not include
the custodian, Mr.. Puerschner, who
Is charged with the supervision of
all the buildings. or Mr.. Thomas
Gavin who has been unable to work
for several months and who is now
critically i'll and confined to his bed.
1t docs not include Edward r. Hayes
father of the heat of the Democratic
county committee. custodian of the
law library and custodian of the
seized liquors, work for which he
at his own insistence has been paid
addition compensation by the Repub-
lican Board of Freeholders.
I'VE do not know whether In say
ing that there were ten janitors en-
ployed in the county buildings Mr..
Hayes included his father or not, but
we did not include him as strictly
part of the janitors force and we are
merely mentioning his name so that
Mr.. Edmund Hays, who has insisted
upon the complete data, may not ac-
cuse us of concealing anything.
Charles Jackson, employed as
night watchman at salary of S115
per month, and John Payton, a IL
censed plumber at $40 a month,
complete the force. Mr.. Payton was
engaged when it was found the
plumbing repair bills were costing
the county a considerable sum of
money, and he was employed to keep
in repair all the plumbing fixtures
and attachments in the three build
ings. 1t has been found that the
county has saved considerable money
in the repairs and upkeep of the
plumbing fixtures and attachments.
Fuller details in this connection will
be given in answer to another ques-
tion.
1.-The law of the state provides that
public employees are not obliged, nor
are they to be permitted under a
severe penalty, to work more than
eight hours day. 1t can be readily
seen that because of the nature of
the work. that it is necessary to ro-
tate the men and the hours so as not

AUTO MENACES
LIVES Of MANY
Runs Wild in Smith Street
Hitting Machines and
Breaking Windows

Lives of school children were en-.
dangered when a Ford automobile
driven by James II. Cassidy, forty
five years old, foreman, of 3S7
Prospect street, ran wild on Smith
street, near Davidson avenue and
in the vicinity of Schools No. 4 and
10 early this morning.
According to information obtain
ed by the police, the Cassidy car was
coming east on Smith street, on the
left hand side of the street and its
first collision was with q DodSe tour
ing automobile belonging to John
Jensen, of 1862 High street. son of
Lieutenant Andrew Jensen. After
this smashup, the Ford darted for
the dry goods store of Elias Wedeen.
at 345 Smith street, and broke two
plate glass windows. The Ford con-
tinued its mad travels, and backed
into the Dodge delivery car of Char
les Eisner. After the latter collision
the drivers of the two damaged au-
tomobiles boarded the Ford and
stopped the motor.
officers Marmon, Lybeck, Buchan
and Sergeant Larson started an in

under arrest. He was taken before

the doctor decided that the man was
not under the influence Of liquor. The
police say it was plain to see that
the man had been drinking.
In addition to badly damaging his
own car, it is said. Cassidy damaged
the Jensen and Eisner vehicles to
the extent of about 500 each.
Following the examination by the
physician, the defendant was ar
raigned before Recorder Harold E.
Pickersgill on reckless driving
charge and a fine of SIS was i'm
posed. When it was found that he
was without a drivers license, an
other charge was pressed against
him and this charge will be disposed
of Mt a later hearing. He is being
held at headquarters
The police point out it is a difficult
matter to have a man convicted of
driving while intoxicated and have
the guilty party serve a Jail sentence.
Before the charge of driving while
intoxicated can be preferred, it Is
pointed out, doctors certificate
must be obtained stating that the
man is under the influence of liquor
and after the sentence is imposed 1t
seems that the offender can be re-
leased from jail if an appeal is
made. Recently Edward Jacobson,
of 313 Market street, was arrested
for driving while drunk. He was
sentenced 10 80 days in jail but
served only two days after which he
was freed on an appeal. He is again
driving an automobile, it is reported.
According 10 the police both Cassidy
and Jacobson have been given plenty
of chances before this.

The Republican county leader re-
quested Hayes assistant to deliver
a message to the effect that he would
be willing to assist in furnishing the
county records at any time stipu
lated by the Democratic chairman.
Hilker said it was unfortunate
that he was out of the city yesterday
morning when Hayes called for the
purpose of going through the rec
ords, but pointed out that Hayes had
not made any appointment with
him and as a result he did not ex-
pect him. II definite time Is set

he did not like the manner in which
Hayes spoke to reporters following
his unsuccessful visit to the trea-

would seem from Hayes statement
the Republican chief said, that he
deliberately left the city after maxi
ing an appointment with Hayes
whereas no decision had been reach

indicate that the county records he
furnished by himself only as he did
