Was Beaten to Death

FRANKFORT, July 25.-CBy The
Associated Press)-The autopsy on
the body of DR.. Haas. the public
prosecutor killed during the COM
munistic disturbances here Sunday,
seemed to show that the victim was
literally dubbed, stabbed and stoned
to death. The murder occurred in
front Of the prosecutors residence.
Afterwards the mob ransacked the
dwelling. One placard carried by
the demonstrators read, mo justice
without blood"
The police have arrested several
suspects, but so far have been unable
to establish definitely the identity of
the m~urderers, largely owing, it is
said, to the fact that the scene of the
outrage was not well policed at the
time.

SOUTH AMBOY. July 25.-The
council at its meeting last night
went on record as being not in fav-
or Of the Jersey Central Traction
Company abandoning their line onA
July 2S. This agreement came afxer
quite a discussion on the part OF
Councilmen Delaney, Disbrow and
Connors. and accordingly City Clerk
Coakley was instructed 10 communi-
cate with the Public Utility Commits
sion, stating that South Amboy was
in sympathy with the move as spon-
sored by the city of Perth Amboy
to keep the cars running until after
Labor Day.
The counei1Hen seem to feel that
stopping the cars at this time of the
year would work a hardship on the
travelling public, especially in the
face of the conditions the buses
must meet with on the already over
crowded condition OF the highway
between this city and Keyport as
we'll as to Perth Amboy.
On the eve of the traction COM
panies abandonment, comes the
stern realization that buses cannot
maintain any sort of schedule over
week-ends. when traffic is at its
heighth.
A. n. Barber, secretary of The
Public Utility Commission, notified
the council that a hearing would be
held at Newark tomorrow morning
for the purpose of granting to James

sion to run four buses between Key

RED UPRISING
NOW FEARED
Believe That Rioting at Frank
fort May Lead to Serious
Demonstration

BERLIN, July 25.-While reports
to-day indicate that order has been
restored at Frankfort, where serious
rioting occurred yesterday, more
trouble is expected hourly through
out the Reich, as a red wave of ra-
dicalism is sweeping over Germany.
The riots at Frankfort yesterday
and in Breslau a few days ago are
considered here as mere signals for
the Communist uprising predicted for
July 20, when Communists through
out the Reich will demonstrate
against their strongest competitor,
the National-Socialist movement.
President Noske of Hanover has
issued a decree %forbidding both the
Communist as well as the planned
National-Socialist counter = demon
stration throughout the province. A
similar decree is expected from Pots
dam.
The Communists. however, declare
they are determined to disregard all
orders from the authorities.
BERLIN. July 25 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-The attempt of the
German communists to make next
Sundays "anti-Fascisti" demonstra-
tons a test of their political
strength is considered by the au-
thoities as destined to founder on
the preventive measures taken b.
the Federal and Prussian govern
ments and the complete disavowal
of the Communists aims exprGhsed
by the United Socialists and organ
lied labor.
The two latter factors are OPEN
ly backing away from the extrem-
lists attempt to drive the working
classes into the streets, especially
since the outbreak at Frankfort,
which resulted in the public MUIR
der of DR.. Haas, the city proseeu-
tor. under revolving circumstances.
The socialist Vorwaerts reminds its
followers hat the Frankfort episode
is a warning signal which should
teach the workers of moderate views
the folly of allying themselves with
the extremist element.
