police force has had charges pre-
ferred against him as a result of the
raid on the establishment of Martin
Szalay at 191 Washington street
about 2:25 o'clock Sunday morn
ing.
1t is understood that Chief Niels
J. Tonnesen has presented to Mayor
William c. Wilson and Alderman
Albert Waters, chairman OF the po-
lice committee OF the Board OF AL
dermen, charges preferred by Ser
geant Frank kasprzak against the
patrolman.

Sergeant Kasprzak heard the ling {
OF money as he approached the

what was known as a saloon in the
old days. He went to the window
peered in and saw three men seated
at a table playing cards, and saw
Officer Hansen in conversion with
the owner of the store over tue
bar.
Hansen bid Szalay some kind of a
farewell. it is alleged, and as he
opened the door TO come out Ser
geant Kasprzak entered and placed
the owner and three gamblers under

ducting a gambling house and Mike
Nargo Of 5S2 Cortlandt street, John

Steve 10th of fS3 State street with

The men were released in bail fol-
lowing their arrest and yesterday

til Friday night, due TO the fact that

b0OTLEGCERS
ARE REPORTED
IN BOAT BAT TIE.
Customs Men Have No
knowledge of Rumored
at Keyport Dock
PUSH LOCAL PROBE
Investigation Here Fails to
Reveal Any Activities Along
Perth Amboy Waterfront

In the days when bootlegging by
automobile was the sensation, gangs
who had suffered losses, started the
practice of knocking off" even
their own friends to get even. To-
day when bootlegging by boat IS
fourishing, there is possibility that
the same practice is being tried on
a large scale.
Word from all along the Jersey
coast regarding the big weekend
liquor arrival, has attracted many
of those who are curious to see the
bootleggers in action and also those
who have suffered losses in the pres
ent system and in the old days.
From Keyport comes the report
that late yesterday afternoon just
as a collection of Perth Amboy and
New Brunswick bootleggers had
succeeded in bringing in a boatload
of the desired liquid, another gang
endeavored to take the load from
them. In a scuffle which followed
many shots were fired, men were
thrown overheard and when the
smoke of battle had cleared, the boat
and its contents had mysteriously
disappeared.
Reports that a big quantity of the
liquid received along the Jersey
coast over the week end had been
landed here was ordered investi-
gated by Mayor William c. Wilson.
The mayor denied that these re-
ports were true and Chief Niels j.
Tonnesen detailed a number of ills
men TO make a complete investiga"
tion of the matter. The police officer
failed to find any proof that a Big
quantity of liquor as reported, had
been landed here.
The local custom authorities also
were of the belief that the report
of a big shipment being landed
here. was incorrect. The government
authorities while connecting some
truth with the knocking off" sys-
TEN. believe that the report of the
occurrence at Keyport yesterday af-
ternoon is one of the numerous
false ones in the wind today

CANAL AND CITY FINANCE
BILLS NOT VOTED upon

Neither Assemblyman Hoff-
mans canal bill nor Assemblyman
Hansons city finance bill reached
the senate last night as neither
had been signed by President
Evans of the lower house, ne hav-
ing been i'll last week and unable
to act upon the bills which were
passed by the assembly.
Senator Morgan F. Larson, of
this city, who will endeavor TO
have both bills pass in the senate
personally went to the assembly
chamber last night in order to
get the canal and city finance bills
so that the senate might act on
them. The clerk of the senate told
him that neither of these bills had
been signed by Speaker Evans as
yet, owing to his illness last week,
but Senator Larson was assured
that they would be signed by
Speaker Evans shortly and rushed
at once to the senate for the action
of the members of the upper
house.
Confidence is expressed by SEN
ator Larson that both of these
bills will be successful. A delega-
tion of interested waterway advo-
Gates and enthusiasts attended
last nights session of the legisla-
ture, hopeful that the canal bill
would be voted upon in the senate.

TRENTON, Mar. 13:-Action from
Senate Republican Majority Leader
stevens of Monmo mouth was looked for
here today as the first step in the
confirmation of the Silzer Highway
Commission nominees. The move is
expected in the form of a report
from the senate judiciary committee
on the four names of Scott, Kidde,
Stewart and Jelin. The committee is
composed of Senators Simpson, DEM
ocrdt, of Hudson, and Pierson, Re-
publican, of Union.
Senator Stevens when interviewed
asst night on the situation said: "You
may look for something tomorrow"
This was taken as a significant hint
hat an early step toward confirma-
tfon was being anticipated by the
Republican leader and from other
sources it was learned that the judi
ciary committee of which he is the
aead will likely put the names before
the senate in executive session some
time today in a report it will make.
Whether they will be Immediately

NO N|Gnl WORK
BILL PASSED
In House After Wrangle With
Women-Attempt Made at
Road Board "Ripper"

TRENTON, March 1S.-Passage
Of the so-called Stevens no night
work for women bill by a vote of as
to 4 and another attempt on the
part of the House Republicans to
force the Edge ripper" bill as a
solution to the state highway mud
die, featured the work of the House
last night. In fact, the session did
not terminate until the early hours
OF today.
With large delegation of Re
publican women from all parts OF
the state, led by Mrs. Lillian F.
Feickert, seated in the gallery, there
was bitter debate and discussion
on the floor of the House concerning
the might work" measure. AS the
result of a lengthy G. o. p. caucus,
it was decided to amend the bill so
as it would take effect January J.,
1925, instead of July of this year,
as the original bill provided.
Republican Floor Leader Corio,
who assumed the responsibility of
speaking for the measure as amend
ed, simply declared that it was the
so-called mo night work" bill and
ought to pass. He made no men
ton of the great and numerous dis
cussicns that have taken plcae, but
simply put Lne Dlll III Llie lldiua VI
the House members for immediate
consideration.
Democratic Floor Leader George
arose and stated that he was ready
to vote for the bill, although he was
opposed to amendments. He asked
that it was the best that could be
mad from the "wreckage" of the
Republican conference. The Demo-
cratic leader then proceeded to de-
nounce the House miscellaneous
committee, in whose confines the
measure had been for the past two
weeks. He was interrupted by
Leader Corio, when the latter arose
to a point of order. The point of
order proved to be only that Mr..
George was "out of his seat" The
Iatten then proceeded. Mr.. George
charged that the purpose behind the
application of the amendments to
the bill was so that it will die in
the senate when it returns to the
House for passage as amended dur
ing the flood of legislation, which
will come up during the closing
hours of the session.
Earlier in the evening resolu-
ton was adopted by the assembly
expressing confidence in its speaker.

has been bitterly attacked by Re
publican women leaders for turning
against the no night work bill.
