sponsible for some pretty play
and it was their work that did a
great deal in winning for Lakewood's
Mason, last ears All-State selection

accompanied by counsel and group
| of friends, walked down the courthouse
steps, free of the charge Of killing

But the Bitters brothers had not

ately taken before Judge Ruff V.

were DISCHARGED were Walter Keener.
king Of the bootleggers, Robert
shy der and Alfred Bacmesiter, all of the
Highlands.
The grand jury began hearing the
case early in the afternoon. Prosecu-
or Charles E. Sexton is understood
to have asked for Indictment on muir
der or manslaughter if lesser crime
was found to have been committed. The
five men were summoned to the grand
jury room individually. Chief County
Detective Smith and County Detec-
tive Davenport were called be-
fore the grand fury during the after
nom.
1t is understood that the Highlands
men told the jury that LaConte and
his gang of ''hi-jackers" had followed
from Highlands to Atlantic Highlands
and after blocking their passage by
throwing their car across the road IN
front Of the First National bank had
started running gun fight.
The Newark gang "hi-jackers

gangs. LaConte was wounded thru
the abdomen. He was carried down
the street by members of his gang.
Later he was found bv County De-
tective Smith and taken to the Mon
mouth Memorial h spital at Long

LaConte died the next day, refus-
ing to name an assailant, but prom
Using to ''get" his man if he survived.
The Bitters b 1ls were arrested the
day after the fight In their car
county detectives found 38 caliber
reviewers. LaConte, it was revealed,
had been wounded by 45 caliber
revolver shot. 1t Is understood that
the Highlands gang contended that
LaConte could have have been SD It
by a member Of his own gang as the
Newarkers fired fussilade at the High
lands men as they took to their
cars.
When the grand jury failed to return
indictments, Attorney A. ]. G. Stokes,
representing the Highlands men,
appeared BET, re Judge Lawrence and
demanded the release of the Bitters bows
and discharge Of the men held as
material witnesses.
Judge Lawrence refused to i'm
mediately grant the request. He
called Prosecutor Sexton before him
and after conference it was decided
to release them, but in the meanwhile
the prosecutor prepared complaints
for the arrest of the Bitters boys on
charges of carrying concealed weap-
ons.

Sultan Didn't Rule All.


Recent caliphs, who have been the
itual supremacy over the Mohamme-
dan world of some 300,OO0,0OO souls.
But in actual fact the sultan of Turkey
had little more spiritual ascendancy
over the Mohammedans outside Turkey
than the king of England has over the
Episcopalians in the United States. In
fact there would be no urgent Near
East problem at this moment had his
leadership been recognized on the 9th
er side of the Bosporus in Asia Minor.
A very important difference between
the western mind and the Moham-
medan viewpoint has, hitherto, pre-
Guided q spiritual ascendancy in Islam
which would cut across all lines of
temporal power and include even war
ring nations. The Mohammedan has
no priests. Islam is one Of the most
pragmatic of religions. Heretofore if
a caliph did not rule he wasn't a
caliph. A spiritual ruler up to now
has been incomprehensible TO the Mos
lem mind. And it remains to be seen
whether the radical step taken by the
Turkish Nationalist in setting up a
caliph shorn of temporal power will
accomplish a permanent change. Be
ing temporal rulers primarily, caliphs
naturally have sought to rule by the
sword.
The Mohammedan's religion and his
law go hand in hand. Mohammed was
a law giver, not only in the Mosaic
but also in the Justinian sense. There
are as many codes of law among
Mohammedans as there are sects; and
as many kinds of lawyers as there are
codes. Among the Sunn'tes. the ortho-
dox major division of Issan, there are
four schools of law. A Hanafite would
as soon engage a Malakite lawyer as
a Presbyterian congregation would be
likely to employ Unitarian preacher.
The very word "caliph" has an al
Iurement which dates back t. enid
hood days when one lived among those
fantastic Arabian nights at the court
