Because Hamed owns land in

tain treasure of value equal to that
in the Luxor tomb.
Hamed has written to the Amer
lean consul at Cairo, through Chan

sity, requesting that the tomb be
opened.
The Egyptian student inherited
the land from his father, former

INTOxICATION SHOWS
INCREASE IN MATAWAN

MATAWAN. March 7-Accordinc
to Borough Marshal John MulsoIf,
lntoXicAtiOn is on the increase. IN
this borough. Two men have been
arrested by the officer for being in
toXicated and he reports that since
the first of the year, the number
OF intoxicated men in the borough
has increased instead of decreased,
indications are. according to the
officer that at the present rate there
will be more intoxicated men in the
borough during the present year
than there was in 1922.
Although it is known that some OF
these men obtain their liquor from
Perth Anlboy and other nearby ci-
ties, going away on one train So
Der and returning on another intox-
icated, it is also believed that there
are several places within the bor-
ough limits where booze may be
obtained. 1t is said that one of the
places where booze may be pur-
chased was raided some months ago.
but that the proprietor is again
bootlegging.
1t is also said that considerable
booze of the bootleg variety can pc
obtained in certain sections of the
township and that although the stuff
Is little better than poison, it has
the desired effect and produces a
state of intoXication that is worse
than anything known during the wet
days. 1t is likely that the local
police and prohibition authorities
will be called upon to clean out
these alleged bootleg establishments
If the condition as told by Officer
Mulsoff today do not improve.

Tar as the Democratic leader could
get was 10 state that the "Republican
platform adopted last fau pledged to
the people"
Every time he would be interrupt-
ed by either Rowland or Corio, the
latter of whom would contest the
right of the Democrat to speak on a
resolution such as he had introduced.
Acting Speaker Hershfield, of Passafc
county, who is serving during the abb
sence Of Speaker Evans, declared the
point well taken" and ruled Mr..
George out Of order. The Y tie by
which tn resolution as defeated
was 80 TO II.
Later on in the afternoon Assem-
blyman Rowland reported unfavora-
bly, the two bills in ques on on be-
half of the committee on miscella-
neous business to which they had
been referred at the time of intro
duction. Leader George again re-
sumed his -ttack to get the bills be-
fore the House and this time was
more successful insofar as speaking
is concerned.
The Hudson minority whip spoke
at length on the merits of the bills
stating that the Republican platform
last year had promised to the people
OF the state immediate relief from
the overwhelming charges made by
public utility companies. particularly
trolley companies.
He charged that the Public Service
Corporation is doing everything with
its power to "mulct" the people ont
of that which is properly theirs. He
continued that the people of the
state are paying for something for
which they get no return.
When the vote was taken on the
question of endorsing the report of
RoWland's committee, the county
was the same, SO to II.
BY a strict parry vote, the House
passed the Stevens Boxing ripper"
bill which will oust from office the
present members of the State Boxing
Commission and substitute in their
stead State Comptroller Newton A.
*. Bugbee as the supervisor of box
ing IN this state. Under the act,
each county in the state will be en-
titled to supervisor who will be
responsible to the state comptroller.
1t was brought out by Republican
Lead'r Corio that no increase in sal
airy accompanies Mr.. Bugbee's addi-
tional duties. AS was the case with
other bills during yesterdays session
Mr.. orio's remarks were very brief
He simply reiterated that which was
brought out in the senate when the
bill was there for consideration and
declared that the people want
change. He also referred to rumors
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-03-07

that the administration Of the pres
ent com missions duties has been
done with some irregularity.
The Democrats from Hudson
county came to the rescue of the
members of the present commission
and challenged the members of the
majority to produce any evidence of
misconduct. Mr.. Barrison, of Hud-
son, complimented the commission
ers especially for their work at the
time of the Dempsey Carpenter
fight. He added that the way that
fight was conducted was the occa-
sion for favorable comments in all
parts of the United States. However,
the bill was voted upon and passed
by the usual party vote, fl to Il.
Adding to the opposition. Mr.
George declared that the bill was
purely and simply ripper" bill of
the most vicious kind He further
stated that it was unsportsmanlike
and directing his remarks to the Re-
publican majority adted: You can't
take a licking. You are unsports-
manlike.'

OF the House of Assembly.
Interest was centered on the
open specification" bill, which
measure was fathered by Senator
Mathis, substantially changed in
committee and finally passed.
When Republican Floor Leader
Corio brought the measure before
the House for consideration under
u suspension of rules. Assemblyman

10 introduce a substitute bill in con
torrance with the position assumed
by Governor Silzer when he person
ally appeared before the legislature

Inc substitute measure had for
IT'S purpose the absolute exclusion
OF patent paving materials in the

way to adequately meet the situation
with which the state is confronted.
However, the bill was voted down

Wher his first attempt had failed,
Mr.. Gaede presented a substitute

SAID, contained more teeth" than

However, this measure, too, fell by
the party vote of SO 10 IA.

the bill was extremely short. The
majority leader simply stated that

Dill to meet the condition to which

SAID to pass bill TO bar patent paw

surd, referring to such a measure
as unconstitutional. George also
voiced opposition to the Mathis bill.
stating that it contains a "joker.' -
and is far from what the people of
the state want. The vote on the
passage of the bill was 40 to 16.

sented resolution which had for its
purpose the forcing out of Assem-

out of it's cellar position tonight in a
match with the Nationals on the
Madison avenue alleys. Members of
these teams are of the opinion that
from the occupants of the first three
positions at the present time, the
winner of the second half champ
lonship will not be chosen.
In the first half games. the
championship of which was won bv
the Madisons after a playoff match
with the Starfish, the Sterlings, Ma
Ionals and PAGERS finished low. The
lronclads gained an easy lead in the
second half games but have not been
so successful in recent contests.
If the Sterlings win three games
from the Nationals in tonights
match, there will be tie for fourth
position between the two teams and
the PAGERS will be in the cellar.
After the completion of the second
halt games on April IS, the winned
OF the first and second half champ
ionshlps will clash for the champ
ionship of the league. There is
greater interest in the circuit this
year than there has been for num-
