Daughertx Investigation

WASHINGTON. March 29-Dispo-
position to aDpy the rakes to its
public disclosures was apparent
when the senate's Daugherty COM
mittee resumed its inquiry into the
general.
Instead of examining confidential
files of the justice department in
public, as origially planned, the
committee decided to consider
them in executive session.
The files in question related to al
legged activities in this country on
behalf of Mexican revolutions in
lower California, and had figured in
the spondence between Presi-
dent Coolidge and Mr.. Daugherty
resulting in the latter's retirement.
w. J. Burns, chief of the Justice De-
partment's bureau of investigation,
had been summoned to lay the files
before the committee, but instead Of
questioning him the committee put
on the stand Nicholas Cimino of

HOME FOR AGED
PLAN TAG DAY
Will Be Held Next Saturday
with School Children
Helping in Work

Next Saturday Will make the first
tag day to be held by the Home for
the Aged. Arrangements are now
being completed by Mrs. Rea Hen
drie who will direct the work of
more than 100 school children in
obtaining contributions for this most
worthy charity. Mrs. Hendrie is
being assisted by a committee and
also by the directors of the Home of
which I. T Madsen is the president.
The tag day was made necessary
by the fact that the annual drive
held last Thanksgiving failed to re-
suit in the raising of the money nee
essary for the operation of the home
for the coming year. 1t takes total
OF $4,000 per year to run the home
and as but $3,495.6S of this amount
was raised during the drive, the bal
ance must be forthcoming from
some source if the home is to con-
tinue in operation. In order to raise
some of the money needed it was
decided to hold the tag day.
The headquarters for the workers
during the day will be located at
311 Madison avenue, this being the
building which was recently pur-
chased by the Perth Amboy Hard
ware Company. The building has
been donated to the use of the home
on this occasion. Those collecting
funds and selling tags will have to
wear signs informing the general
public what the money is for.

| DYING AF TER
GUN BATTLE
Second Wounded and Two
Under Arrest in Newark
See Liquor Plot

NEWARK. March 20. - John

bullet wounds at the City Hospital
George Policastro, twenty-nine. is
also at the hospital suffering from
two bullet wounds. while two others,
and Henry Borseman. seventy-three
night watchman at the Taylor Gar
age. 331 South street. are under ar
rest following a gun battle in the
garage early today. From scanty
evidence gathered by the local po-
lice and the statements of Borse-
man the police believe the four men
attempted to rob the garage of large
quantities of liquor which they
found there.
The aged watchman told the po-
lice that the four other men sue
ceeded in having him open the gar
age door early today and then held
him up. Borseman said he defend
ed himself and the gun battle re-
suited.
Two revolvers with five empty
chambers each and one automatic
which had iammed after two shots
had beeen fired from it were found
by the police on the garage floor.
Large poo's of blood near the tele-
phone and which blotched other sec
tions of the floor. bore evidence of
the grim battle.
