ALLEGED SWINDLER Is
AGAIN IN POLICE HANDS

TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 2.-Anton
Pearlman, wanted in several places
for working a swindling game
throughout the country and jumped
his bail on a same charge on Staten
Island is again in the hands of the
police here. Pearlman, whose pic
ture is in the rogues gallery in Man
haitian, and who has several aliases
was arrested October %, 1922, by
Detective Sergeant Sch1ey on a
charge of having swindled George
Faquety, of 80 Mcguire avenue,
Pleasant Plains, out of $1,213 that
he had Faquerty draw out of the
Tottenville National Bank. After
having been lodged in the county
jail, Pearlman, believed to be the
leader of a gang working the swind-
ling game in this section, was re-
leased on $500 bail.
Pearlman disappeared and when
the time scheduled for his trial he
could not be located. A bench war
rant was issued and he was not seen
until located in Manhattan by
Schley and Detective Crowley of the
Fifth precinct station, Manhattan,
about 5 o'clock last night. He was
brought to T~ottenville and after his
finger prints were taken he was
locked up in the county Jail at Rich
mond. He will probably be brought
to trial the first of the week in
county court. Pearlman is wanted
in Newark, Akron, Ohio and Beth
lehem, Pa, for the same kind of a
game of changing money from one
satchel to another.

TROLLEY STRIKE FAILS
TO AFFECT SOUTH AMBOY

SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 2-The
curtailment of trolley service in this
city was not felt by the travelling
public. The only people directly
affected were those residents of low
err Sayreville, but even this section
was given bus service by William
Banker, of New Brunswick, owner
and operator of the Grey Bus line,
to this city from New Brunswick.
Buses ran at half hour schedule
from this ely to lower S~ayreville
all day yesterday, and will continue
until the trolley operation begins.
There is a rumor about the city.
the origin of which is unknown,
that an effort will be made to IN
duce the Public Service Railway
Company to operate trolleys from
Perth Amboy to this city as soon
as the strike is settled. AS far as
could be ascertained nothing of this
nature was brought to tho attention
of the council and the rumor is be-
Ing looked upon as a wild dream.

S|LzER STILL
SEEKING MAN
To Head Labor Department
Democrats Still Hope for
Party Man.

TRENTON, Aug. 2@Governor Sill
ger is still looking over the field
of possible appointees for State
Commissioner of labor. Arthur A.
Quinn, president of the state feder-
alton of labor is still regarded as
ready to accept the place which the
labor organizations would like 10
see him fill. A number of Demo-
cratic leaders still hope to see a
worthy party man chosen for the
place. Citizens general ywho fol-
low state affairs await the appoint
ment wondering who will get it.
Meanwhile the Department of La
Dor continues to function despite
the lack of a head.
Although Mr.. Silzer has no.
made public any recent views he
holds with respect to this post, it
Is believed to that to date he has not
been satisfied with the available
timber. The governor considers
well all his selections for public
positions and it is thought to be his
position that he would rather let an
Office remain vacant for a period
than make a heasty appointment in
the hope that eventually he could
find the type of individual he be-
lieves measures up to the require
ments of the office.
The fact that the labor commits
sionership has now been untitled
for about a month recalls that the
place on the court of errors and APP
peals made vacan by the death
of Judge Robert Williams, of Pat
erson, has been open since early
in March because the executive
wants to get the right man. Re-
Gently he said to the newspapermen
that he thought he almost had the
man he wanted, bus the prospective
appointee could not be secured for
this place on the highest tribunal
in the state.
The work in the department of
labor is proceeding as usual under
the direction of Deputy Commits
sioner Charles H. Weeks, each bu-
rea uis f~unctioning under the direc-
ton of its chief and with this ap-
parent smoothness the absence of a
direct head is not being felt. This
justifes the administration in thor
oughly canvassing the list of posi-
Bile appointees before making a
final selection even though it does
take time.

ARREST EIGHT
IN BIC H0LD-UP
Police Make Quick Capture
After Two Trucks Are
Held Up.

TOTTENVILLE, Aug. Eight
men are being held by the police of
the 60th precinct, Tottenville, and
the seth precinct, West New Brigh-
ton, on a charge of having held up
two trucks about 3 O'clock this
morning at Targee and Steuben
streets, Stapleton, and stole 135 half
barrels of cereal beverage and re-
lieved the owner of SITS in cash. An
alarm was sen out to every ferry
n booth throughout the island and
within a sort time the eight were
captured and locked up. Three of
the men We're caught at the ferry at
the foot of Bentley street, by Patrol
man West and two others were
caught by Sergeant Winant and Pa
trolman Newman in the police car
In Arthur Kill road, Kreicherville.
They were locked UP in the Goth pre-
cinct station, Tottenville.
A thirty-eight calibre revolver full
ly loaded was found by Detective
Sergeant Schley in the automobile
In which three Of the prisoners were
riding at the time of their arrest.
William L. Sunshine, of Pill Seven
ty-first street, Brooklyn, is the COM
plainant. He told the police that he
was held up at the point of a gun
and relieved of the sum of money
and the two trucks loaded with the
beverage were taken away from him
self an dthe drivers. The five caught
In Tottenville gave their names as
Gus Kamp, thirty-nine years old, of
81 Shackenmoxen street, Philadel-
phia; Harry Fricke, thirty-five years
old, 1884 Lesker street, Philadelphia;
James E. Dramire, twenty-four years
old, 2027 West Oxford street, Phila-
delphia and Herman Cohen, twenty
years old, 1927 North FRANKLIN St.
Philadelphia.
They with the three caught in West
New Brighton as they were making
their way toward the Elizabethport
ferry will be arraigned in court this
morning. A wide search will be made
today in an effort to locate the cereal
beverage, which the police believe
Is some of the Pennsylvania beer
containing more than n half of
one per zen which was being trans
ported into New York. The gang is
believed to have followed the two
loads and the only opportunity to
seize it before it reached the NUM-
cipal ferry going over to Manhattan
was done at Stapleton. They evident
ly did not figure that the ferries
leaving the island were covered by
policemen at all hours of the day
and night to block their escape.

Pastor Buys Drinks
To Expose Liquor Sales
By e Service.

BY NEA Service.
BALTIMORE, Md,-This minister
visited a dozen saloons.
He bought himself drinks and
stood at the bar and drank them.
He drank whisky and beer.
Then he went back to his pulpit
and told his congregation all about
his alcoholic adventures in a scath-
ing sermon denouncing lawbreakers.
Rev. Edward Tabor is the min
lister. He is a pastor of the Hamp-
den Baptist Church His spectacular
performance has stirred Baltimore
from its placid attitude toward pro-
hibition enforcement, and has start
ed a controversy within church
circles here and in other cities over
the ethics of his crusade.
Jesus tasted light wine," says
Mr.. Tabor, 'and l sec n o sin in slip
ping wine and beer. Only fanatics
on the liquor question would find
fault with my having sampled the
stuff"
Church authorities have not criti-
cized their pastor for drinking beer
and whisky. His crusade was in
a%ugurated after it was agreed at a
meeting Of deacons and trustees of
the Hampden Baptist Church that
existing conditions should be ex-
posed.
The clergyman said the whisky he
drank on his tour of Baltimore sa-
looms was Surprisingly good con-
sidering its newness, and was the
strongest he had ever tasted. He
judged its alcoholic strength 1t SO
per cent.
Though a total abstainer," he
says, Il have slipped intoxicating
drinks before, and 1 was given
whisky while Ill. I approve of the
prohibition law. but even if I did not
approve of it 1 would fight for its
enforcement"
Mr.. Tabor from his church pulpit
named ten saloons where he had
bought whisky.
District Attorney Woodcock and
United States Commissioner Supple
Immediately urged him to swear out
search warrants and follow up his
campaign against s~peakeasies. But
the clergyman refused.
Evidence is so easy to get" said
Mr.. Tabor, sit would be folly for me
to neglect my church duties to act
the role of prosecutor.
ITO get booze in Baltimore it is
not necessary to know the ropes. All
corners are served.
Enforcement authorities are de-
liberately blind to liquor violations"
Another result of the Tabor SER
mon was an interview with Police
Commissioner Gather. The pastor
says the commissioner promised
more active cooperation of the police
department despite a recent ruling
of Attorney General Armstrong that
the police have no jurisdiction in the
matter.
Commissioner Gather admitted,
Mr.. Tabor says, that it is almost i'm
possible to obtain convictions when
liquor violators are arrested by uni
formed patrolmen.
Mr.. Tabor is not coStent with the
results of his probe. He got into
communication with Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes in vanishing
ton and is preparing data for a ser-
mon to be delivered in the fall that
will be even more sensational.
