ALLEGED rum RUNNERS ESCAPE:
PROBE DEATH OF 2 SO. river MEN
Bodies of Two South River
Men AfIoat Ashore Along
With Booze Cases
FOUND BY COAST GUARDS
Both Men Well Known in
County-Shots Fired Along
Shore After Rum Runners

SOUTH AMBOY. Dec. 3.-Several
cases of whiskey washed ashore at
point half mile distance from the
Coast Guard Station at Seabright led
to the discovery of the bodies of two
men, in the waters in shat vicinity.
A number of cards on one of the
bodies helped to identify Walter
Smith, thirty years of age, of Bright
street. South River. The other body
was later identified as that of Ray
mond Freeman, twenty three years
old, who lived at the corner of
Washington and Obert streets South
River. The bodies were found at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t is
understood that the Coast Guards
are searching the waters in that vi
cinity for the bodies of a numebr of
others who were believed to be in a
boat with Smith and Freeman.
1t was learned from n person in
the vicinity of Sea Bright. when the
bodies were found that the Coast
Guards had heard shots fired short
~ after 9 A. NJ. This ac-
cording to the information however.
is of common occurrence as govern
ment cutters ply about the waters
within the three mile limit and in
an effort to scare away bootleggers
operating in the vicinity generally
fire shots. 1t is believed that pos
sibly the craft the South River men
were in was hit by one of the shots,
and sunk about o'clock. The
bodies it was said had been in the
water about twelve or fourteen
hours
1t was shortly after o'clock yes
terday afternoon that the Coast
Guards noticed the several cases of
whiskey floating toward the shore.
Remembering the shots of the early
morning a search in the vicinity re-
vealed one of the bodies. The other
body was recovered several minutes
later.
The bodies were removed to the
morgue of j. w. Flock, at Long
Branch, and the relatives of Smith
were notified. The relatives of both
men late yesterday journeyed to
Long Branch, and identified the
bodies. Arrangements to have the
bodies brought to South River were
made last night.
Smith, is one of South Rivers pop
ular young men. He was in the
trucking business. and enjoyed a
large circle of friends. Freeman was
also well known in South River.
At the Borough Hall South River
last night it was said that the acci-
dent was reported, but no other in
formation was forthcoming.

FORD IN CONFERENCE
WITH THE PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. - Henry
Ford, who came to Washington to-
day to appear before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at hearings
affecting his railroad properties, had
brief conference with President
Coolidge, discussing, it is understood
the status and disposition of the ad
ministration toward his offer for
Muscle Shoals.
Mr.. Ford, after seeing the Presi-
dent, reiterated that his offer for
Muscle Shoals, now pending before
congress, stood. Beyond saying that
the question was discussed with the
President during the twenty minute
conference, however. he would not
disclose what details were conside en-
ed. He was accompanied by T.. c..
Liebold, his secretary, w. b. Mayo.
his engineer, and c. b. Longley, one
of his attorneys.
On leaving the White House, Mr.
Ford was asked if he cared to make
a statement as to his attitude toward
movements looking toward his NOM
ination as a presidential candidate.
His only comment was:
'Humphl That would be funny.
wouldn't it ?"
Mr.. Ford and his party also called
on Secretary of War Weeks.

EATON AND POWELL WILL
LIKELY Be PARTY CHOICE

TRENTON, Dec. 3.-The indica-
tons today were that tomorrow's
Republican House caucus will most
likely develop into a ratification OF
the unanimous choice of Assembly
man Harry G. Eaton, of Essex, for
speaker and probably Clifford r.
Powell, of Burlington, for floor
leader
The withdrawal of Herbert Pascoe
of Union, has apparently eliminat-
ed all opposition to the Eaton can
didacy. Eaton wins because the Es-
sex 'drys' formed a combination with
the forces friendly to Senator Edge
and this team put Pascoe out of the
running. He had counted on the
Essex "drys'' to make his candidacy
a success.
There has been little real inter-
est in the leadership selection. AS
sem blyman DeLorenzo, of Bergen
has been aspiring for this post but
it is believed that Powell has the
inside track and could, if forced
land the same support which makes
Eaton a winner for presiding officer.
Powell is also, dry"

Two Million Appropriation is
Recommended by Sound
and Raritan Bay
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy Evening News.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-An ap-
preparation of $2,000,000 for work in
Raritan Bay and the Staten Island
Sound during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1925, is recommended in
the annual report of Maior-General
Lansing II. Beach, chief of army en-
gineers, submitted to congress today.
This amount is $1,100,000 less
than that allotted from the last ap-
preparation bill for expenditure In
the present fiscal year, but is is not
expected that all of that allotment
will be expended before January l,
1925.
OF the $4,000, 900 recommended by
the chief of engineers, it is proposed
to spend $1,700,000 in dredging and
rock removal in sound, from the vi
cinity of Shooters Island to the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad bridge,
and 100000 in dredging in the
Raritan Bay.
During the last fiscal year, which
ended June 80 of this year, total
of $90,090.66 was spent for new
work, and $52,592.95 for mainten-
ance. Most of this expenditure was
charged to previous projects which
antedated the present project for the
improvement of the channels, the
present one having been adopted
only in September 1922. To June 30
the expenditures under the present
project had totalled $110, 0,440.S7, and
the amount estimated to be neces-
sary for it's completion. in addition
to the $3,100,000 allotment for this
year, was $7,300,000.

GERAN
IS SWORN IN
Takes Congress Seat Wants
to be Placed on Rivers and
HarborS Committee
By GEORGE II. MANNING
washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy Evening NcWS).

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3-Congress-
man Elmer III. Geran, of Matawan,
the new representative of the third
New Jersey district was sworn in as
a member of the House OF Represen-
tatives a few minutes after noon to-
day. Mr.. Geran reached Washington
this morning by automobile, accom-
panied by several friends, who came
along to see him inducted into Of
flee. In the party were Carroll Ger
an, the congressman cousin;
Charles Sexton, prosecutor of Mon
mouth county; Edwin Goodwin, of
Plainfield, and Charles Wickle, of
Asbury Park. Mn. Geran's friends
occupied seats in the gallery of the
House of Representatives while the
oath of office was being administer
ed to the new congressman.
Mr.. Geran had expected to reach
Washington last Saturday to attend
the Democratic party caucus but was
delayed in leaving his home.
The new member from the third
district is working industriously to
get a place on the House Rivers and
Harbors Committee. He takes the
position that his district with one Oh
IIlS GREATEST Wdl0I lIOulS VI All SOll-
gressional district in the country
should have direct representation on
the committee which frames water
way legislation.
Congressman George N. Seger, of
Passaic. Republican, the new repre-
sentative of the eighth New Jersey
district. is also after a place on the
Rivers and Harbors committee.
AS one of the New Jersey men is
Democrat and the other a Republi-
can, it will not be impossible for both
to get on this committee, as it would
be il both were of the same party.
The presence of one of them on the
committee will, however, work
against the chances of the other
gaining a place, because of the con-
tinual effort made to prevent any
single state obtaining unusual power
on any one committee or in any spe-
cial class of legislation.
Congressman Geran expected to
commence in a few days preparing
a number of bills for introduction
in the course of special interest to
his district, such as bills providing
appropriations for two or three new
postoffice buildings, etc.

FEDERAL AGENTS CAPTURE RUN LADEN launch
Aldermen viii Act
On Police Ordinance
New Set of Police Rules and
Regulations Before the
Council Tonight

Alderman Albert G.. Waters, chair
man of the police committee, will
Introduce a new police ordinance at
the regular meeting of the Board of
Aldermen tonight. The second ward
alderman has been at work for some
time on this new measure, which
will furnish the rules and regula-
tionS under which the police depart
men will function here and it is eX-
pected definite action will be taken
by the members of the council in
adopting the ordinance tonight.
The new ordinance has not been
made public as yet but it is under
stood to contain a clause which will
take from the mayor the power
which always has been entrusted to
the city's chief executive-that of
appointing police officers without
making it necessary to get the con-
sent of the aldermen. Under the
new ordinance, it is said, the mayor
must confer with the aldermen prior
to making any appointments and re-
ceive the consent of that body before
he can make any appointments. AS
the aldermen must arrange to raise
the money necessary to pay the sal
aries of the new police department
members. it is pointed out, that that
body believes it only right that it
should be consulted and its consent
obtained by the mayor before he
makes any new appointments.
Included in the new ordinance will
be the standard traffic regulation
rules adopted this year at the an
nual convention of police chiefs held
in Buffalo.
The so-called KHAN clause" which
met with considerable opposition
when it was included in the police
ordinance which failed to pass some
months ago. has not been changed
and will be included in this new or
dinance.

Capture Boat After Alleged
BootleggerS lump Overheard
and Swim to Shore
GET OVER 100 CASES
Launch Aground = Many
Shots Were Fired During
Chase of South Amboy

Following an exciting chase in
local waters last night during which
many shots were fired, local and
New York customs inspectors under
the direction of Inspector p. J. Mae
ENoY of the local custom house, cap
tured the rum runner K-1239 a
motoi boat thirty-six feet long with
cabin, hailing from Belford. Three
men on board the craft ran it
aground In Conovers cove, between
south Amboy and Morgan, and then
escaped by swimming ashore. The
boat, which is now at dock in this
city, contains more than 100 cases OF
Black and White whiskey
SHORTY before o'clock last night.
Inspector MacEvoy in charge of Gus
tom inspectors, began a tour of the
bay and river for possible rum run
ners. Off South Amboy. the search
light of the Godfly, the customs
boat, picked UP the cabin motor
boat and when the vessel failed to
stop when ordered to do so. In
chase began. The thirty-sfx foof
booze boat, equipped with a 275
horse power engine, raced through
the water at great speed, but could
not out-distance the customs cruiser
and finally when shots from the
. NiiS VI llIt tuSlOiiiS inspectors be-
came too thick and close for COM
fort, made for the mud flats in Con.
overs cove.
Determined to overtake the vessel
the customs men forced the Gadfi1
also on the flats and when the K
1889 came to a stop the customs
vessel beached just about twenty
feet astern. A fisherman on the
shore watching the race through the
darkness and seeing the flash from
the pistols of the custom officials,
rowed out to the customs boat and
took the inspectors to the stranded
rum runner. An inspection of the
matches revealed the fact that more
than 100 cases of Black & White
whiskey were on board.
When the first boat ran aground
the three men on board jumped III
the darkness and swan ashore. thus
making their escape. The customs
men waited on board the stranded
boats until nearly IL o'clock last
night, when the high tide fioated the
two boats and they were run to
dock in this city. The captured
boat will be taken to the barge
office in New York City late today
Just before leaving the vessel the
three men aboard made a desperate
attempt to sink 1t by pulling the sea
cock. However, the custom inspec-
tors by working the pumps through
out the night were able to save both
the vessel and the cargo.
According to the registry of the
K-1239 it is owned by Waldmar
Kaiser of Belford. More than five
miles was covered by the two boats
before those aboard the rum runner
decided to beach the vessel and
make their escape.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S:-Facing
an organization row at the very out
set, the xty-eighth congress con-
vened at noon today Tor a session
which promises to write colorful
chapter in the history of legislation
and politics.
The militant progressive bloc hoid-
ing the balance in the scale of votes
by virtue of the greatly reduced Re-
publican maiorities raised the nag
of insurgency in the House by
threatening a deadlock in the cleo
ton of a speaker.
While on the Senate side the op-
ening formalities passed off with the
usual outward calm and decorum,
the threat of a fight to force re-
organization of the Senate, and some
of its more important committee
was in the background.
In both the House aud Senate
the eaVels fell promptly at II
O'Clock, with Senator Cummins, or
Iowa. the president pro tenn presld-
ing over his colleagues. and Clerk
William Tyler Page occupying the
speakers chair of the House pend
ing the outcome of the hght over
the speakership.
ed their organization at a conference
Just before the senate met. Senator
Robinson of Arkansas was elected
chairman of the conference and
party leader; Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, ce-chairman; Senator Pitt
man of Nevada was nominated as
Democratic candidate for president
of the senate, and Senator Gerry of
Rhode Island was reelected party
whip. Senator King of Utah was
named secretary of the conference.
j. Edward Halsey of Virginia, was
nominated by the Democrats as can
didate for secretary of the senate,
and John ]. Burns of Monticello,
N. Y, was selected as candidate for
sergeant at alsns.
For an hour before the House
went into session, the progressive
bloc had been in conference.
There will be no election of
speaker today" said Representative
Nelson, of Wisconsin, chairman of
the groupi. after the meeting. He
reiterated that the bloc controlled
enough votes to prevent the re-
election of Speaker Gillett, but de-
clined to say how long the insurgents
expected to hold out.
"Our real fight" he said, will
come later when we seek to modify
House rules"

thought progress is being made to-
ward the point where the occupa-

as to what line the new Germany
ministry may take on the reparation
question renders it impossible for
the allies to take immediate decision.

and the occupation authorities are
so improved that it is hoped the
time will soon arrive for a change in

application for clemency for Comp
troller Craig of New York City, sem
fenced to Jail for contempt of court,

late today.
Although officials of the depart

it is expected in some well informed
quarters that Mr.. Daugherty will

Craig's sentence. but at the same
time will suggest that the President
express in vigorous terms disapprov-
