FATHER OF GIRL DOES NOT
PUSH ABDUCTION CHARGE

Through his attorney, Jacob S.
Karkus, the father of Sylvia Lubin-
ski, the fifteen-year-o State street
girl who was brought back to this
city by Policewoman Jensina Olesen
on Thursday, this morning made
known that he was not desirous of
making any charge against Angelo
Matrazo. also residing in this city.
Matrazo was arrested by thu local
police early in the week and was
charged with abduction.
Following his arrest, Matrazo told
the police that he had taken the
girl to New York to go to the NOV
les. Upon their arrival in New York,
the girl made known her intention
of running away and obtained mon
ey from her companion with which
to reach Buffalo.
In Buffalo. the attention of Red
Cross authorities was attracted to
the girls case, and the local Red
Cross authorities were notified. The
Red Cross authorities here COM
municated with the parents of the
girl and then the police were noti-
fed.
Following the departure of the
girl last Saturday, the parents re-
ceived note, which Il was later
learned, was written by the daugh-
ter. This note informed the parents
that their daughter had been In
iured in an automobile accident and
died in the hospital.
Inasmuch as Spaniards frequent
the Lubinslxi store on State street,
Matranzo was arrested early this
week in connection with the girls
disappearance. He was represented
today by David T. Wilentz.

BEER
IS REMOVED
Six Trucks Captured by Po-
lice and Agents Here are
Taken to Newark
WOMAN is ARRESTED
Charged With Liquor Violation
in Local CaSe-Held in
$1,000 Bail

There was many a tear in sight
as the prohibition agents started
away with the truck loads of high
powered beer from in front of the
local police headquarters yesterday
afternoon and last night. Two of the
trucks were seized by the local po-
lice and four by federal agents un-
der the direction of Director Adrian
G. Chamberlain.
Chief Wolowitz and about nine
other agents came here yesterday
afternoon to take care of the five
men arrested, and to bring the
trucks and beer to the Newark ware
house. The chief visited Commits
sioner John A. Delaney and arrang-
ed to have the men released in $500
bail each for later hearing.
The beer truck found by Chief
Niels j. Tonnesen on New Bruns-
wick avenue yesterday morning, and
which, it is said, was the property
of local dealer, was taken to the
Perth Amboy garage for repair. The
truck had broken down on New
Brunswick avenue and the. driver
made his getaway The agents en-
countered considerable trouble in
obeAi ltii5 dAi lnC tTuChSy one OIL WHICH
had to be towed for a short distance.
Five of the trucks left here short
ly after 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and the sixth, the one seized
by Chief Tonnesen yesterday morn
ing, was towed to Newark last night
Officer Louis Hansen made the first
seizure on Thursday night, catching
truck loaded with two hundred
f1ffW of - sa1.
and Fayette streets. This truck, like
the four taken later Thursday night
by the prohibition men, was bound
for the Staten Island ferry.
The federal men under the Direc-
tor Chamberlain, made four seizures
on the road between Fords Corner
and this city, between and 10 o.
clock, The five trucks taken Thurs
day night, were loaded with case
beer, and it is said, a considerable
quantity was removed from one, dur
ing its stay in this city. The sixth
truck was loaded with barrels.
1t is probable that the prohibition
authorities may connect the Dittmar
woman with the big ring" in charge
of the transportation of beer from
Pennsylvania and New Jersey brew
cries to New York City and vicinity.
Louis Corbin of Philadelphia, one
of the men taken in the August IT
raid, was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Brown yester-
day and held in $1,000 bail for a
later hearing.
Effect of Raids
AS a result of the recent raids it
Is probable that the metropolitan
beer ring" will decide on a different
route over which to take their beer
from Pennsylvania into New York.
The New Workers now fear the pro-
hibition agents, Amboy police and
the authorities on the Staten Island
side.

STATE c. D. P.
NOT So DRY"
Will Come Out for ModifiCa-
ton of vOIstead Act, Com
mittee Decides
CONFERENCE Is HELD
Forced to Suffer Two Defeats
on "Dry" PIatform-WaS
an Executive Session


TRENTON, Aug. 25.-The Re-
publican party, after being defeat
ed in two consecutive gubernatorial
campaigns ON a dry platform, will
this fall come out for q modification
of the Volstead act. This much
was decided upon here yesterday
during a conference of members of
the Republican State Committee and
other representative members of the
party from every county in the state.
While the conference did not
specifically come out in favor of
light wines and beer" it did agree
that the national prohibition en-
forcement act ought to be loosened
in a measure. At the same time,
the meeting was said to have set i,
face against whiskey and other high
powered alcohol liquors.
The meeting was in the nature of
an executive session of the mem
bers.
Former Governor Edward c..
Stokes, Republican state chairman,
who presided over the meeting, de-
clared that the Republican party
wished to be representative of the
peoples interests. He pointed out
that in both the campaign of 1919
and that Of 1922, Democratic gov
ernors had been elected on wet plat
forms when United States Senator
Edwards and Governor Silzer had
been returned over their Republi-
can opponents.
He asserted that the voters evil
dently had no use for dry" party
and that it was therefore time for
a change.
Another precedent decided upon
by the conference, at least since the
advent of the direct primaries, was
the making of the party platform
before the primary elections. 1t has
been the custom to hold the conven-
ton after the candidates have been
chosen, so that their views on the
public questions of the day may be
ascertained.
The gathering itself was reminis-
cent of the old pre-primary days
when a party convention met and
settled the fate not only of party
planks but of candidates as well.
A committee of seven will be ap-
pointed later to hold subsequent
conferences. This committee will
formulate party policies and to draft
a tentative platform.

WILLIAMsTOWN, Mass, Aug. 25
(By The Associated Press) In an
appeal to America to join the Allies
in winning peace, the Earl of Birk-
enhead, former Lord Chancellor of
Great Britain, emphasized in the fl
nal lecture of the institute of politics
last night that self-interest alone
should determine this country's
course. He asserted the world was
not yet ready for the idealism of
Woodrow Wilson.
Lord Birkenhead declared the
world probably would not survive if
idealism were given a completely
free rein: no nation in democratic
conditions ever would become the
knight errant of the world. He said
Mr.. Wilson's judgment of his coun-
trymen was wrong and through this
error he became the agent of all
postwar developments from which
his altruistic mind would have re-
coiled.
America must remember, in de-
Gliding what constitutes her best in
terests, he asserted that great ma
tions require a great world in which
to develop their greatness and that
commercial genius flourishes only

this is from Michael Lakonlski Of
the sixth ward for place as alder
man on the Republican ticket.
Alderman at large Richard j. Cal
vim has not made any direct an
lnouncement as yet that he will be a
candidate foi' reelection, but 1t is a
known fact that his friends are de-
sirous of having him again enter the
contest. They point out that in view
of the fact that so much improve
ment work is under way in the city
and that both Alderman Albert q.
Waters and BENJAMIN Reidy are not
candidates for reelection. that some
of the old board members must
serve in order to carry through the
pending Improvements and hold
that it is Mr.. Galvin's duty ID be one
| of them regardless of the pressure
| that may be brought to bear upon
him to continue in the race for
sheriff.
Mr.. Calvin when asked today for
a nositive answer as to whether or
not he would be candidate for re-
election as alderman-at-large, said
| that he could make no announce
ment until the first of the week. IL

| Calvin has been in several confer
ences during the past few days with
city and county Democratic polltl-
! clans.

sixth ward line up as follows: James
| Garland, Joseph Powers, Charles

to the present time it is said that
Mr.. Garland is the only one who has
placed petitions in circulation.
! Although there have been several
| names mentioned in connection with
| the Democratic nomination In the
| second ward, the general talk today
seems to center about James e. Kelly
as the logical candidate to run in
the place of Alderman Albert G.
Waters, who has announced that he
will not be a candidate for reelec-
ton. 1t was said in Democratic
| circles today that Mr.. Kelly would
possibly place petitions in circulation
within the next few days.
City Clerk Phillip Costello today
stated that he expected the petitions
| from the various candidates to begin
to come in Tuesday or Wednesday of

Pinchot Calls Conference
OF Coal Miners
and Operators
TO AVERT FAMINE

operators policy COMMITTEES who
have been taking part in the recent
negotiations, as the first step in his
efforts to adjust differences between
the two factions and avert aua-
pension of the mines September
HARRIsBURGH, PA. Aug. Is =
Governor Pinchot began today 70
"crystallize" the plans by which he
hopes to avert suspension OF an
thracite mining operations on sep
tember first. Mr.. Pinchot was pre-
pairing to invite the representatives
who failed to agree in their negot1a
tions at Atlantic City early THIS
week to meet him here. The con-
ferences, indications were, Will be

Upon his return from Washing-
ton last night the Governor had his

talk about but he began to formu-
late them at a conferences with Sec
retary Joseph ]. Walsh of the state
department of mines, Immediately
after his arrival at the executiys
mansion.
The first active step was planned
for today when invitations were e
so out to the eight leaders OF min
ers and operators who have beea
conducting the negotiations. In y.
half of the miners it was expected
that John l.. Lewis, President II tbs
United Nine Workers, and Incaal
I Kennedy, c. J. Golden and 7Rfnaldt

be invited.
The members of the operators
policy committee, S. d. Warriner'
chairman; A. B. Jessup, w. W. Ing
lis and w. j. Richards were expects
ed to complete the list.
1t was reported likely that inform-
al meetings would be held by each
delegation separately with the gov
ernor, to determine whether any
grounds exist for further discussions
It was the belief of the state officials
that such a plan would permit this
resumption of negotiations If any
common basis for agreement exists
without affecting the position q
either side at the beginning Of the
conferences.
II no basis Of understanding can
be found in the meetings with the
governor the situation, it was points
ed out, would be virtually un4
changed. Dispatches from Atlantic
City last night, which expressed the
proba BILE willingness of both miners
and operators to accept an invitation
from Governor Pinchot. were re-
ceived at the state capitol today with
satisfaction, and acceptance OF the
governors kilograms was expected
at the executive Office with little de-
lay.

Plan of Settlement

NEWARK, Aug. 25:-The twenty
fifth day of the Public Service Rail-
way Company's trolley strike found
the transportation problem through
out the state yet unsolved and most
parties concerned in it's settlement
mostly marking time until next
weeks developments.
Public Service Representatives con-
tinued their canvas in several north

house holders to learn the attitude
of the public on the company's set

Quoted by a Newark newspaper show
ed in the first days result a nearly
three-to-one opposition TO the COM
pany's plan The Essex trades coun-
ell, q. labor organization, made known
its stand on the plan last night by
voting to oppose it at the public
hearing of the Public Utility Com
mission scheduled to be held next
Tuesday.
In. Newark large number of bus
licenses were purchased by local bus
men yesterday.
Striking Public Service trolleymen
in Jersey City voted unanimously
for the company's settlement plan at
a meeting there late yesterday. Their
stand follows that taken by the Es-
sex county locals on Thursday night.
The Trolleymen's Union was Sc
verely criticized for its tactics in the
present railway tie-up by Essex
Trades Council last night, for its
efforts in obtaining signatures to
petition favoring the McCarter plan
for settlement of the strike.
When the Utility Commission
meets Tuesday the Municipal Com
mittee of the council will oppose the
plan. A delegate said:
'Once competition is taken away,
the McCarters will have the city in
their power as they did fifteen years
ago. You will be compelled to take
what service they give you so long
as they are able to get big diyi-
dends."
Another delegate said:
ut is a case of the public be
damned by both the trolleymen's
union and McCarter. The trolley
men have agreed with the MeCarter
plan because it grants them the
increase they are seeking.
A moulder's delegate asserted: "It
Is not a strike between the trolley
men and Public Service. but a strike
against the public. The only solu-
ton to the problem is the munich
pal ownership of the transportation
system"
Hugh V. Reilly told of his meet
ing with William Wepner. head of
the union, on the second day of the
strike. at foresaw that the trolley
men would side with McCarter. You
would do the same thing If you
were on strike. They are looking
out for their own interests"
