IN FEDERAL COURT TODAY

tanned by Dev and Swackhammer's
$14 were produced in court as evi-
dence.
The court was told that the three
men then went to McDonald's place
in Keansburg where Scully told the
proprietor that as Dey, himself and
Swackhammer had been assigned to
Middlesex and Monmouth counties,
Mcdonald would have to arrange
with them for protection" Jack
Donovan's place at Keansburg was
next visited, the prosecution claimed,
where Scully infol-ned Donovan that
only he and n other place would
be allowed to operate in Keansburg.
Here, the court was told, Donovan
said he would give Scully the names
of six places he wanted knocked
Off to do away with competition.
Samile Henri Cones name was
brought into the ease by Swackham-
lmer in his testimony.
Swackhammer testified to raidine
six places in Perth Amboy with
Scully and Cone, n of which was
Woifson's. On April 80, the witness
said, he saw Scully and Cone and
the latter declared that 1t would be
wise to knock Off Wolfson again
as ne had only received $50 which
mad been divided in four parts.
The defense contends that the
agents set out with orders % trap
Scully. The prosecution has admit
ted that the government agents had
instructions to let Scully go as far
as he liked in approaching saloon-
keepers and arranging to shake
them down.

( cellor will be told that the company
Is not required to make an answer
to the quo warranto proceedings I'M
til twenty days after September IA,
which is Friday of this week, and
that hence the necessity of relief
through today's proceedings.
Yesterday Frank H. Sommer and
George L. Record, two of the coun-
sell who came here for the proceed
iings in the federal court where
Judge Rellstab refused to dismiss
the so-called ten cent fare case of
the company, held a long conference
with the attorney general in the af-
lternoon. These two lawyers, as coun-
sci for the municipalities involved
in the federal court case, nave been
intimately connected with the var
ious trolley fare controversies of re-
cent years and 1t is believed they
gave the states legal officer the BEN
eft of their observations in the fed
eral court. They did not actively
participate yesterday in the proceed
ing, l.. Edward Herman, appeared
for the Public Utility Commission,
the other two lawyers consulting
with him once or twice but otherwise
remaining silent.
IL is III AA1 kAAO
for a dismissal of the Federal Court
rate case may have been an attempt
upon the part of the representatives
of the state TO obtain a glimpse OF
the hand which the Public Service
will play today in the court OF
chancery in the acknowledgements
proceedings.
However. Robert H. McCarter,
who represented the company, con-
fined his argument mainly to the
contention that all the time, money
and energy spent on the rate case IN
the federal court and before Special
Master Haight, should not be vast
ed now by a dismissal of the case
without a determination as to the
valuation of the company's property
and the fixation of a proper rate py
the Federal tribunal. MI. McCarter
did not reveal much as to the defense
the will make today, when
he appeared yesterday, beyond say
that the reason for the discon-
tinuance of service would be shown
in the state tribunals when these
proceedings come up. He did make
this significant statement, however:
1.-THE mere fact that the company
has temporarily suspended doe not
of itself betoken that it has aban-
doned its franchise.
In disposing of the Hermann ap-
.plication yesterday, Judge Rellstab
questioned his authority as a single
member of the Federal Circuit Court
to dismiss the proceedings begun
two. years ago by the railway COM
pany to get a higher rate than Z
cents and 2 for a transfer, allowed
by the Utility Board, without the
other two members of the circuit,
Judge Wooley, of Delaware, and
Judge Davis. concurring. He said
denying MI. Herrmann's request
that irrespective of whether situa-
ton in the Public Service fight had
changed, the matter of a proper rate
and a proper valuation of the COM
pany's property would eventually
have to be disposed of and he felt, in
view of this, that he could not dis
miss the case.

Morgan State Police Post

Mayor Wilson has written to Col
S~chwarzkopf, superintendent of the
state police, urging him to continue
the sub-station now located at Nor
gan and which, according to reports,
is to be closed this month. sAssem-
blyman Harold G. Hoffman already

tinued.

letter that this community is EMIT
led to the services of the state po-
lice, it being possibly an occasion
may arise at any time in Perth AM
boy or nearby at which the services
of state police are needed.
Mayor Wilson's letter follows:
Sept. IL, 1928.
"Co1. S. Norman Schwarzkopf,
superintendent New Jersey
state Police,
state House, Trenton.
Dear Sir:-In view of the fact
that your state police rendered such
valuable service in our recent COM
motion here in Perth Amboy, we
feel that the closing of the state
police sub-station at Morgan will
work a serious handicap to our COM
munity in case we should have oc-
casion to call on the state troops
for their assistance at any time, as
Morgan is the neares station to
Perth Amboy.
GAS long as we have the state po-
lice organization and the entire state
supports its maintenance, l feel that
the people in this locality are enti-
tied to their services =
Hoping you will use your best
efforts to have the suD-station con-
tinued a Morgan, I remain,
Respectfully yours,
