SENATOR SHOT
|. DOWN, RESULT
. OF LIQUOR WAR
Greene, from. Vermont, Is
Wounded by Dry Agent
in Washington
is A GREAT SENSATION
Conditions in Capital Likely
to Be Aired in Congress,
Belief Today
is A GREAT SENSATION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The
prohibition situation in Washington,
for months center of criticism and
controversy, has eliminated in the
shooting down of a United States
senator almost within the shadow if
the Capitol. AS a result of the
whole muddle of conflicting opinions
charges, explanations, denials and
counter-charges that have charac-
terized efforts to enforce the pro-
hibition laws, they seem likely to
have a thorough airing in Congress.
Senator Frank Green of Vermont
was shot in the head last night as a
car containing prohibition agents
whirled out of an alley into Pennsyl-
vania avenue in pursuit of another
automobile suspected of carrying
bootleggers.
After an X-ray examination physi-
clans announced that the bullet
which hit Senator Greene had moi
remained in his head.
The discovery was regarded as ex-
tremely encouraging and those in at
tendance said they expected him to
recover.
The senator was walking with his
wife when the shooting occurred,
less than three blocks from the Cap
itol Building. He was hit just over
the left eye by a bullet fired from
one of the automobiles-app
by prohibition agent, who was US
ing his revolver freely in an effort to
compel the pursued machine to come
to a halt. A prohibition agent is
under arrest, but no formal charges
have been placed against him.

and Son. week last November.
Not only the Y. NJ. c. AS of the
country but many of the churches
now observe Father and Son week
annually during which time the need
of closer companionShip between
the two is brought out. Mr.. Robin
son has been through Europe since
the war and he declared that despite
the chaos resulting from the war.
EuroPe still has thoughts for the
boys and their futures.
Many of the points brought out by
the speaker were illustrated by ac-
ltual, incidents in his life. At a re-
form school where he recently spoke,
he said. he learned that rs per cent
of the inmates had had no homelife,
unfortunate circumstances at home
! having made it impossible for the
boys to receive the training needed
, by every youth. The steadily in
lcreasing number of divorces, as COM
pared to the number of marriages,
Mr.. Robinson said, threatens the
! future of the children of the parents
who become separated.
| The speaker related the expert
ences of himself and family flying
over Europe and also of mountain
climbing to the transcontinental di-
vide. He urged the fathers to take
an interest in their sons activities.
In closing the speaker asked that
the fathers see to it that they are not
always too busy to talk with their
sons when the youths want informa>
i ton or when they want their dads
to join them in going some place
once or twice week.
"Blest Be the Tie that Binds" was
sung as the safe landing was made
at the end OF the journey. Several
| kilograms, received by Captain Olsen
during the night caused considerable
amusement, one being dated Ber-
muda and purporting to come from
Charles NJ. Peterson. 1t was ad-
dressed to Earl Lake and informed
him that the local coal man and
real estate speculator had secured
an option on the post Office there
and hoped to get the city hall next
week. A wire from Secretary of
the Navy DENLY said it would be
impossible for him to attend because
of the Teapot Dome case.
The committee which assisted Sec
retary Scott consisted of Gordon
Koehler and Won Roseboro, Jr., joint
chairmen. Stephen Kovacs. Arthur
Rasmussen, Robert Schmehl. EN-
nett Jones and Westley Jones.

nGUN GOES OFF IN POCKET
OF MAN IN BANK HERE

The fact that the bullet in the re-
volver of the guard who accom-
panied l.. b. Dubois, assistant pay
master of the Public Service of New
ark, to the Perth Amboy Trust COM
pany here today was lead instead OF
steel, probably saved persons doing
business in the institution from SER
fous injury when the gun went OH
while in the guards coat pocket.
The guard was standing in the
rear of the banking room near the
paying tellers window, with his fling
er on the trigger of the gun, which
was concealed in his pocket when
1t went off with loud report. The
bullet struck the marble floor doing
no harm. 1t is believed that had the
bullet been steal one it would hare
broken and probably flew in all di-
rections.
As soon as the report was heard,
some one remarked that it was an
electric balb and no unnecessary ex-
citement resulted.
