A big delegation of prohibition
agents numbering in the vicinity OF
nineteen, came into this city yester-
day afternoon with the intention
of making the biggest cleanup"
since the prohibition laws were en-
acted. but 1t is said that after two
visits had been made, the govern
ment employees decided to call II
a day as far as this city was con-
cerned.
Reports current about the city are
that the establishment at the corner
of State street and DeKalb avenue,
and another at the corner of Meade
and Market streets were visited, ana
big seizures made. 1t is also said
that several visits were made to
places on Cortland street and In
other sections of North Amboy.
1t was impossible to get in touch
with Adrian G. Chamberlain, the
state prohibition director, as he was
out of his Office presumably on an
other raiding trip. 1t is said that
he was in charge of the group here
yesterday afternoon.
Once again this city is the center
of interest as far as prohibition ac-
tivities are concerned. The agents

they intend to make this section as

Z PATR0[NEN
To PAY FINES
Steed to Pay S100 and Gay
doz $50-Hearing Was
Held Last Night

Close to an hour was spent by the
aldermen last night in reaching a
decision in the cases of Patrolmen
Hugh Steed and Joseph Gaydos af-
ter the taking of testimony on
charges preferred against the Off
GERS. Steed was fined 500 and
Gaydos was ordered to pa $50.
The charges against Patrolman
Steed were originally made during
November of last year and in addi-
ton to deserting his post and con-
duct unbecoming a policeman, he
was charged with making two sep
arate assaults. Former Senator
Thomas Brown appeared for the de-
fendant and City Attorney David =.
Wilentz represented the city. Steed
pleaded not guilty to the charges.
On the original date set for hear
ing, postponemenr was granted the
defendant because his attorney was
called out of town, then the defen-
dant was confined to his home for
a time by illness and a week ago
the case was put off again when
member of the council argued to
such an extent that the session had
to be adjourned.
There were the usual objections
>
garding the drawing of charges etc.,
and during the evening the chance
of an interesting battle between op-
posing counsel, was spiked several
times by Chairman Calvin. One
heated exchange of words between
two members of the governing body,
was checked by the chairman.
In the first case Sergeant Kozus-
ko, Lieutenant Morris, Lieutenant
Calvin, Chief Tonnesen, Traffic Off
Ger Pat Dwyer, and the defendant
testified.
Gaydos made known that he did not
want an attorney for his case and
pleaded not guilty to charges of not
patroling his post and neglect of
duty. After the reading of charges
and the taking of Sergeant Kozusko's s
testimony, the defendant took the
stand and told his story. While on
the stand Gaydos was given a tongue
lashing by Alderman James Kelly
chairman of the police committee.
the talk being meant for the entire
department. 1t is probable that the
trials of last night will move the
aldermen to speed up" their plans
to put through rules and regulations
for the running of the department.
The fines imposed were evidently
satisfactory to all the members of
the council as there were no argu-
ments. as far as is known. in the
ante-room during the fifty or sixty
minutes the cases were being con-
sidered.
Prior to the taking up of the DO
Ice trials. resolutions were intro
duced by Alderman Kozusko for re-
pair work on the Mcclellan fire
company apparatus. There was no
other business transacted last night
and Alderman Robert A. Mcclure
was the only member of the board
not in attendance,
