MAKE CHARGE
Of k|DNAPI INC
Grand Jury to Probe Mullins
Case-Family Disputes
Heard in Recorders Court

Two family disputes were heard in
the local police court this morning.
Mrs. C. C. Mullins, of New Bruins
wick, being held in $500 bail to
await the action of the grand jury
on a charge of kidnapping her grand
son, and John Deter, of 800 Wash
ington street, arrested on his wife's
complaint, was placed under $500
bond to keep the peace, after his
wife made known that she did not
want to live with him any more.
The Mullins trouble has been one
of long standing, it is said and this
morning the grao1mother admitted
taking the child and said the rea-
son for her action, was to see that
the lad received the best of care
She informed the court that she
has two other children of her son,
Carl, and claimed that the boy in
the latest case, does not receive
proper care from his parents.
Deter was arrested by Officer w
Peterson last night on his wife's
complaint. In court this morning,
the woman told of giving him many
chances, and that after last night,
she is through with him for good.
The husband agreed to the arrange
ment and he was placed under bonds
to keep the peace.

TAX REDUCTION PLAN
FAVORED BY PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19-Presi-
dent Coolidge is strongly inclined to-
ward the Mellon tax reduction pro-
gram and is expected by some OF his
advisers to endorse it flatly in his
message to congress.
Such an endorsement in the opin-
ion of administration officials would
be sufficient to sweep aside such op-
position as there has been among
some Republican leaders to tax
revision at the coming session.
With the gathering here of sena-
tors and representative of the ma
jority party, taxation has become
one of the principal subjects of
cloak room discussion.
President Coolidge made his posi-
ton in favor of tax-reduction plain
to Senator Lodge, majority leader, at
a two-hour conference at the White
House yesterday. 1t is understood
Senator Lodge assured President
Coolidge that if he comes out strong
ly for the Mellon plan in his message
to congress there will be no doubt of
the passage of an adequate taX-re-
duction bill.
Senator Lodge is understood to
have outlined to the President the
obstacles that would be met in pass
ing a tax revision bill in the i'm
mediate future. but at the same
time it is definitely understood that
the majority leader of the senate and
other prominent Republicans who
were at first skeptical in regard to
the proposal are coming to accept
it as imperative.

URGE CONTROL.
Of RAILROADS
N. Y. Central Line Pleads for
Control of New Jersey
Railroad Lines

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19:-The
New York Central railroads demand
for control of the Philadelphia and
Reading and the Central Of New
Jersey lines in case of federal con-
solidation of railroads was urged be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission by President A. H. Smith.
Condensing argument in favor of
New York control of the same lines
which also have been sought by the
Baltimore and Ohio, Mr.. Smith said
his roads position would provide for
the fullest development of the port
of New York, would give the north
ern half of the state of Pennsylvania
better railroad facilities and would
maintain competition in the general
interest of the public.
with the two roads, the New
York Central can open a direct rail-
road line between New York and
Chicago" Mr.. Smith said. (which
will be shorter and which will be
under a single management. If you
look at the map you will see that the
north half of Pennsylvania has no
such railroad development as the
south has and we believe that an
east and west line through it via
Newberry Junction will give the
standing business of New York state
facilities it needs, and likewise find
development in Pennsylvania"

OnneH Must Testify AT Bridge Land Sale Probe
FRANCE AvERTS BREAK WITH ENGLAND
ENGLAND is RELIEVED
BY NEWS FROM PARIS

LONDON, Nov. 10 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) There was a percep-
tible amelioration here today in the
tension existing between England
and France over the question of the
deportation of Ex-Crown Prince
Frederick William and unrestricted
resumption of allied military control
in Germany.
Great Britain is resolutely main
tanning her former attitude that she
is ready to join in a protest against
the return of the Kaiser's heir, and
that she favors the establishment
of the allied military control only in
the districts in which the Berlin gov
eminent exercises effective author
ity.
ON the other hand there were indi-
cations that France was receding on
the question of further territorial oc-
cupation and other threatened PEN
alties TO be imposed upon Germany.
Foreign office officials, however,
were quick to explain that these in
dications of a change in the French
attitude were based on French press
reports only and not on any direct
information from Lord CreWe, the
British Ambassador in Paris. There
appeared, nevertheless, to be feel
ing that as a result of today's meet
ing of the council of ambassadors a
written injunction to Germany ac-
ceptable to all the allies, in which
the question of punitive, measures
against Germany would not be spec
ifically mentioned, would be evolved.
Upon the latter point it was thought
there probably would be a tacit un-
derstanding that If Germany refused
to give satisfaction on the matters
in dispute disciplinary action might
be taken.

DESP0NDENT He
HANGS HIMSELF.
John MoskaI A. S. & R. Plant
Employee for 23 Years,
Commits Suicide

Dependent because of illness ana
the fact that last week he gave up
a position he had held for twenty
three years, John Moskal, forty
years old, of 172 Chauncey street,
ended his life early this morning by
hanging in a rickety woodshed, in
the rear of his home.
The man lived with his wife, two
girls, nine and four, and one boy,
seventeen. He was employed in the
copper furnace at the American
Smelling & Refining Company, for
twenty-three years and gave up this
position last week because he was
not feeling well.
This morning, it is said, the man
expressed fear at returning to the
smelter plant and so left the house
to look for a job elsewhere. This
was at about o'clock and an hour
later, when the wife went to the
woodshed for wood, she noticed her
husband hanging from a rafter near
the top of the shed.
1t is believed that after preparing
the clothesline moose, he climbed up
on a small partition and then placed
the rope about his neck. His next
step was to swing from the partition
and when found by his wife. his legs
were bent and the front of his shoes
touched the partition.
Lieutenant Andrew Jensen was no.
titled at police headquarters about
1880 o'clock, and he detailed Ser
geant John Larson and Chauffeur
William Buchan to pick up Officer
J. +. Sullivan. the man on the beat,
and to make an investigation. James
j. Flynn was also notified, as acting
coroner, and upon his arrival the
body was taken down.
There are two small doors on the
east side of the shed. the bottom one
being used for entrance. One has
to bend down in order to get in to
the shed. Following the arrival of
the police. the top door was opened
so that it would be easier to get at
the body.
Moskal had an excellent reputation
in the neighborhood and at the
smelter plant. 1t is said that after
returning home nights, the dead man
knitted sweaters.
Michael Zylka has taken charge of
the body and funeral arrangements
are being made.

Democrats Must Deposit
$4,000; Republicans SO, 700
With County Clerk
ALSO SHERIFF RECOUNT
Will Recount Votes of Seven
County CandidateS-327
Ballots Were Rejected
ALSO SHERIFF RECOUNT

The Democrats or the county have
had their application for a recount
of the votes received by Sheriff Fred
ericll Gowen, Anthony Gebhardt,
Democratic candidate for sheriff
and Howard Butcher. Democratic
candidate for freeholder. in the re-
cent election, granted by Chief JUS
tice william S. Gummere. The re-
count of the votes of these three can
didates will be carried out in con-
junction with the recount for Klem-
mer Kalteissen, ]. Fred Orpen, Wal
ter Quakenbush and William S.
Dey all freeholder candidates, which
will commence next Monday in New
Brunswick before the county board
of elections.
The Democrats who obtained the
order for the recount of the Gowen,
Gebhardt, Butcher votes We're in
structed to file with the Middlesex
county clerk a $4,000 cash deposit
for the recount of the sheriff vote
and a similar amount for the recount
of Butcher the Cranbury candi-
dates, vote. County Democratic
Committee Chairman Edmund A.
Hayes announced that the Democrats
would place their $4,000 deposit with
the county clerk today or tomorrow.
If the Democratic candidate is
elected in either case the money will
be refunded, otherwise the money
will be used to pay the cost of the
recount and the Democrats will lose
that much. The same applies to the
recount requested by the Republi-
cans. The G.. o. P. leaders are de-
posting $3,700 today. If Orpen,
Quakenbush and Dey win, the county
must stand the expense of the re-
count. If Kalteissen, the Republi-
cans must pay.
It has been learned that there
were 327 rejected ballots in the
county and it is likely that many of
these will be counted by members
of tIe county election board or by
the court. all ballots in which the
county election board members are
deadlocked being referred to Chief
Justice Gummere for a decision.
The official count showed Kalteis-
sen elected over Orpen for freehold
er by the small margin of three
votes The Republicans feel that
out of the 327 votes rejected large
number of Republican ballots will be
allowed by the election board of the
court. AS the election board is of
partisan structure with two Republic
cans and two Democrats it looks as
though Justice Gummere will be
called upon to decide many of the
questions as to whether or not bal
lot shall count.
The recount of the Highland Park
ballots in the mayoralty race which
,.oe,,1+aJ IL, a naYn ocra n uiotorU hV q
small margin, will commence Fri
day of this week. The Republicans
who applied for this recount have
been instructed to deposit $500 with
the county clerk.
