LOYALTY To j. s.
IN WAR MAY FREE
D|CKE RsON'S AIDE
Remarkable Story of Patriot
ism Told of Tom Ford,
Who Aided in Bank
Robbery
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU !
THE AGE-HERALD {


An unusual record of loyalty to the
United States came before Governor
Brandon today when he began con-
sideration of the application of Tom
Ford, convicted OF completely in the
robbery of the Phoenix-G irard bank,
for release on parole, and If Ford Is
given his liberty his loyalty will be
one of the important factors. The
information was not filed by Ford or
his attorney, but came to the gov
ernor from other sources.
During the World war Ford's sister
was married to German and Ford
and members of his family received
information that he was not in full
sympathy with Americas purpose in
the war. Ford proposed to his sister
that she leave her husband and prom
ised that he would care for her and
her baby. Ford then enlisted in the
war as soldier. Each month his al
lotment was delivered to his sister.
When he returned home and was
discharged he became connected in
the robbery of the bank and accepted
sentence of 10 years in prison.
Sends His Money to Sister
Ford is now stationed at Banner
mines. Investigations made by MEM
bers of the state board of pardons
have developed the fact that Ford's
earnings above his task to the state
each month are being sent to his
sister in accordance with his prom
Use made when America entered the
war. His earnings range from $50
TO SIS per month and as proof of his
promise being met Ford sends each
month to his sister the company's
to1 ut
of his earnings.
Roy E. Dckerson, the brains be-
hind the robbery, and Rufus ford,
Toms brother, have made written
statements generating Tom OF any
wilful connection with the robbery.
Dickerson made his statement April
S, 1922. when he was being tried for
the robbery and before he made his
escape from Kilby prison. Rufus
Ford filed his statement with Gov
ernor Brandon February 10, 1922.
Both declared that Tom Ford did not
know at the time he was participat-
ing in a bank robbery when they per-
suaded him to go to the bank for
the purpose of making deposit for
Them and that while he was arrang-
ing for the deposit. they and others
held up the officers and employees of
the bank.
o o o
Snps He Was intoxicated
Tom Ford has filed statement
declaring that he was intoxicated at
the time and did not know he was
ssaiding in the commission of a crime.
statement was supported by the
statement of Dick erson and Rufus
Ford. The state board of par
dons recommended clemency sew
eral months ago. but Governor kilby
refused to grant a parole.
Tom Ford entered aeplea of guilty
and accepted sentence of 10 years,
which he began April 2, 1920.

CHARGE
Of ABDUCTION
Local Girl is Held at Buffalo
and Man is Under Arrest
Here

Trouble of an outer State street
family have led to the arrest of An
gelo Matrazo, a Spaniard, twenty-one
years old of 6Ss State street, and the
detention of the fifteen year old
daughter of the troubled family, Syl-
via Lubinski, of $50 State street, by
the Red Cross authorities of Buf-
falo, N. Y.
The Lubinski family conducts a
store in outer State street. Through
visits to the store Matrazo became
acquainted with the Lubinski girl.
Last Saturday, it is charged, the two
went to New York with the idea Of
attending a theatre and after their
arrival there, the girl planned to run
away. Matrazo furnished the money
with which the girl succeeded in 60
ing from New York to Buffalo. the
police say.
Matrazo was arrested by Lieuten-
ant Detective Joseph Gutowski and
Sergeant John Reager last night on
an abduction charge, and is being
held at headquarters. The police
learned that the girl is being held at
Buffalo through word received by
the local branch of the Red Cross.
1t is probable that Policewoman
Jensina Olesen will be sent to Buff
falo to bring the girl back to this
city the expenses to be paid by the
parents of the girl. The police have
been told that the parents received
a letter following the departure of
the girl, that she had been injured

Public Service Railway Company,
mindful of the burdens that have
been heaped upon it during the past
five years, reaff1rms its determina-
ton that it can not contract to pay
out large sums of money for wages
In excess of it's revenues available
for that purpose, but conscious of
its obligations to the people of New
Jersey, and desirous of meeting the
local transportation needs OF that
portion of the state served by it,
offers the following comprehensive
plan, as an entirety, for the settle
ment of the very serious problem
that now confronts the state. If It
were otherwise practicable, nothing
would be gained by a resumption of
operation upon a basis of destruc-
tive and uneconomic competition
such as has latterly existed. 1t would
only result in a repetition of the
present unfortunate situation at a
later date. In no large community
in the United States, does any sucn
condition exist as has been tae case
in New Jersey. 1t has been ascer-
tanned by hard experience the coun-
try over that cars and buses cannot
economically exist in direct compe-
tition with each other upon the
same streets and wherever the is
sue has arisen the necessity for rail-
way transportation has manifested
itself. It is possible to settle this
whole problem and it should be done
now once for all.
Plan
Although the railway company has
never had a desire to- embark largely
! in bus transportation, nevertheless

be met in a broad way, If local trans
portation is to survive, therefore. the

allied corporation, will purchase at

z Candidates
BEING SOUGHT
For AIdermen-at-L Large on
Both Republican and
Democratic Tickets
G. o. P. ACTION TONIGHT
Candidate May be Selected
Democrats Known to be
Holding Conferences

Political organizations are rapidly
arranging the political arena for the
primary contests that will take place
next month. Although much re-
mains undone as yet in the way of
securing candidates for the various
offices, it is likely that by the end
of this week both the local parties
will have a slate pretty we'll shaped
up. Tonight the Republican Club
will meet in their rooms in the Odd
Fellows building and it is likely that
many important matters in connec-
ton with the choosing of candidates
will be completed.
At tonights meeting it is expected
that the committee chosen last week
to seek candidates for the office of
alderman-at-large will report. This
committee consists of John Pfeiffer,
Joseph Hornsby and Holger Holm.
The question of selecting candidates
for this important Office is one that
both the Republicans and Democrats
feel should be chosen with care and
this being the fact they are putting
forth all efforts to find the most
logical candidates for the office.
The Republican meeting tonight
will be featured by box social.
On Friday night the Democratic
Club will meet and from present in
dications the entire slate for the
coming primaries may be announced
at that time. There are already
many candidates in the field and in
dications are that several more will
enter before the last hour to file
petitions is up.
John v. Burke, who was yesterday
listed as a candidate in the coming
primaries for alderman in the Sec
ond ward, issued the following state
ment today:
1.-The Evening News was the first
to inform me that was a candidate
in the second ward. Although have
been frequently urged to run by my
friends, l never considered 1t seri-
ously. j. v. BURKE"
There is much political talk in the
city, but as far as can be learned no
new candidates have been mention
ed, aside from those names which
have already been published. Each
ward will be battle-ground this
year, with the race for alderman-at-
large no doubt furnishing the fre-
works for wards not electing alder
men. One thing is pretty certain,
however, and that is that the cam
paign for the most part will be a
personal canvass one as during the
past three years 1t has been found
that sort of campaign in this city is
the one which brings results when
the votes are counted.

British Embassy Has Reply

PARIS, Aug. 21.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press)-The French gov IN
ment's reply to the recent note OF
Marquis Curzon, the British foreign
secretary, on the reparations situa-
ton, was handed to the British en-
bassy at 8 o'clock this morning.
The feeling in French official cir
cles is that this note, indited by
Premier Poincare, will prevent a
rupture of the entente. Consider
able confidence is expressed that the
British cabinet will find it concilia-
tory and see in it a basis for con-
tinued discussion of the Ruhr oceu-
patton and the reparation problem
generally.
There Is said to be a tendency to
look more favorably on a new rep
aration conference among the allies,
and it is thought certain that Pre-
mier Poincare will see Prime Minis
ter Baldwin when the latter returns
from his vacation stay at Aix-Les-
Bains.
The French reply takes up fifty
pages of a yellow book which will
be issued tomorrow, together with
summary in both English and
French.
