Offer Little Evidence
Al So. AmbOy Probe

SOUTH AMBOY, July 17-Little
tangible evidence was unearthed at
the special hearing held at the city
hall here yesterday before Mayor
Daniel C. Chase upon the instigation
of several church bodies who in a
plea to the mayor and the council
urge drastic steps toward the en-
forcement of liquor prohibition laws.
Another general hearing is to be
held soon, when it is believed other
witnesses will shed more light on
booze situation in the city.
Rev. A. C. Brady, of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. described a
series of incidents where men were
seer to have been drunk that they
were coming from various parts &c
the city, walking toward various
directions. In response to queries
by Mayor Chase. Rev. Mr.. Chase
admitted that he knew of nothing
that would lead toward the appre-
herSion of habitial drunkards nor
could be supply such evidence that
would assist the city authorities in
rounding up the users and dispensefs
of the booze.
Rev. William H. Bowen, of the
Presbyterian church like Rev. Mr..
Brady, could not supply any evil
dence demanding action by the city
officials. He said that he had been
asked on several occasions in homes
he visited to check the sale of liq-
uor and also has been told that the
money apportioned for clothes il
being spent for alcoholic beverages.
He further said that on n occa-
sion when passing "Jerome's place"
near Stevens avenue and First street
he saw a man being pushed out Of
the emporium in a drunken condi-
ton.
On the first Sunday of June Rev.
Mr.. Bowen recited he found a drunk
on the steps of his parish and that
he was stopped by a nan on David
street. who apparently was drunk
and demanded money of him to buy
food. He also gave a haZy descrip-
ton of a place which is sal dto have
liquor on sale. He claimed hal the
drunken people are creating a nuis-
ance and are abusive. He admitted
that he never was able to learn the
source of liquor. He concluded his
testimony by saying:
II was told by one named john
son that a certain man who occu-
pies premises in the vicinity of the
trust company is allowed to pursue
his bootleg activities for five more
months he would not worry what
would happen to him later"
Two other citizens also declared
thet had seen DRINKS in the streets
and questioned whether there was 3
way to arrest the men, in spite of the
fact that they may not act disor-
derby.
