HEARINGS IN BOOZE CASE
POSTPONED FOR WEEK

Upon the application of the United

hearings scheduled today before
United States Commissioner John A.
Delaney in the cases of Theodore
Gregory, Herman G. Harris and
Theodore j. Plough, who are
charged with interfering with GUS
toms officers and an attempt to steal
booze which had been seized by the
customs authorities on a ship and
locked at this city, were postponed
for one week.
Herman G.. Harris, n of the &C
cused men, had occasion to go
through a rather thrilling experience
upon his arrival at the Office of the
commissioner, when he was con-
fronted by a woman who desired to
see if he was her son-in-law who
had deserted his children. According
to the story told by the woman, who
did not give her name, she has been
trying to trace her son-in-law, whose
name was the same rs that OF the
defendant in this case.
She said that he was a bootlegger
and when she saw Harris name in
the papers was of the opinion that
it might be the same man. She
found to her sorrow, however, that
although the m and profession
of the men were the same, the men
themselves were different. She car
ried a warrant with her for the ar
rest of her son-in-law. Her home
is in Hoboken.

Ordinarily a screep comedy does
not possess as sumptuous settings as

One of these settings is the show

proceed WITH the realization of his
plap, prGmised to the citizens at
his Inauguration address made in
offiGG as mayor on the Republican
Xttory.
. The question of the site and
borough hall has received much
agitation for the last eight months.
Today it is the leading issue In the
campaign and all local candidates
bring these two projects under dis
cussion. Mayor Mulvihill and his
Republican aides are favoring n
waterway improvement and cry for
the need of a municipal building
that would house all the depart
ments of the borough. The mayo
points out the desirability of a site
for the future progress of the town,
since almost the entire water front-
age is monopolized by the local
plants.
The mayor in his fight for the i'm
provement also directs the attention
of the voters to the increase of in
dustrlal activity that would result
from the acquisition Of 2 site n
when the need arises the building of
q dock.
The Hermann forces are oppos-
ing Mr.. Mulvihill's plans declaring
hat the borough would run into
debt. They produce figures showing
increase of taxation and their plea
is for economy. The Democrats of
the borough believe that the pro-
jects are too heavy for a town of
its size.
The fig. for and against 1t is on
in full swing and results of the ref
erendum vote will not only decide
whether the improvements are want
ed, but will apparently have an effect
on the war that is on to gain a ma
jority in the council.
