NEGRO IS HELD
FOR KILLING
Detective David Arrests Man
in New Brunswick Wanted
for Murder in Georgia

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. s, =
Silas Parmore, thirty eight, colored
of 100 Church street, this city, was
arrested by Chief of County Detec-
tives Ferd A. David about IL o'clock
last night. He is wanted by the
Georgia authorities for the murder
of a high sheriff in Iron City, Ga,
last March. The man, is being held
in the county Jail as is his son, Carat
sixteen, who was arrested as a ma
terial witness.
A description of the crime and of
the man wanted for the murder was
received some time ago by the coun-
ty authorities. According to infor-
nation secured by Chief David,
Sheriff Jeff Williams of Iron City
had made a number of arrests OF
negroes in that place following SER
les of fights and a few days later
the sheriff was found dead, having
been shot. Parmore disappeared and
he was charged with the shooting by
the Iron City authorities.
About three weeks ago the family
moved to New Brunswick. David
met Parmore last night and arrest
ed him. Parmore at first declared
his name was William Bats.
The youth told the detective both
he and his father were present the
night Sheriff Williams was killed but
he denied that his father had left
the place following the murder. The
son said he came north, secured
work and then sent for his father
and mother. The two men are be-
ing held as fugitives from justice.

police scandal in which two Amboy
policemen are charged by a promi-
nent South River bootlegger with

$500. The South River man has
told his story to David, the county
detective chief declares, but thv
bootlegger failed to report at the
prosecutors Office last week to give
the information to Prosecutor Striv.
ker prior to taking the case before
the grand jury.
Ia. the bootlegger fails to appear
voluntarily before the prosecutor in
order that the case might be placed
before the grand jury soon, Chief
David said today, steps will be taken
to force the South River man TO
appear before the prosecutor and
grand jury. The story told Detective
David by the South River man is an
admission that he was transporting
booze and it will probably only be a
few days before he is formally
charged with this violation of the
prohibition law.

qram After Constituents
Call for Reduction
MOVEMENT Is GROWING
Says Governments First Duty
is to Wounded and Disabled
Soldiers of Country
MOVEMENT is GROWING
BY GEORGE fl. MANNING
washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy Evening News.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. S:-Senator
Edward l. Edwards of New Jersey
is unreservedly in favor of reduction
of taxation all along the line; but Is
opposed to a bonus for able-bodied
ex-service men.
The country can not have lower
taxes and pay the bonus also, he
contends, and the permanent ad-
vantage of lower taxes for all the
people will be greater benefit to the
former service men than the bonus.
If he is convinced from a study
of Secretary Melons tax reduction
plan that it will do all that is claim
ed for it, he will support it whole
heartedly Senator Edwards declares
otherwise he will support some other
plan.
Senator Edwards outlines his po-
sition on these two big issues in a
form letter he sent out today to
hundreds of people all over New
Jersey, Democrats and Republicans,
in all walks of life, who had written
him about the bonus and the Mellon
tax plan. So many letters have
been received by him on these ques-
tions, he said, that it is out of the
question to address personal reply
TO each, so the general letter must
do for all.
Senator Edwards in his letter
says:
"If my study of Secretary Melons
taxation plan convinces me it will
do all that is claimed for it, | shall
support it Fundamentally otherwise
| shall support some other plan.
Taxes must come down. They can
be no reduction in the high cost of
living until they do. | am unre-
servedly in favor of any plan that
will lower taxes all along the line.
If surtaxes were lowered, capital
would be brought into new fields,
notably in housing, where it would
reduce rents. Hence / favor a re-
duction in surtaxes. But especially
do | favor reducing the load carried
by the multitude who are paid mod
est salaries.
''As to the bonus, the govern
ment's first duty is to the wounded
and disabled. If necessary, I would
vote to appropriate the last dollar
in the treasury for their relief. They
come first. / am not In favor of a
bonus for able-bodied ex-service
men. The permanent advantage of
lower taxes to them and their friends
will far more than offset the tenn
porary advantage securtd by the
bonus, cash or otherwise. We can
not have both lower taxes and the
bonus"
This seems to place Senator Ed
wards right in line with President
Coolidge and Secretary Mellon on
these two big issues, taxation and
bonus.
