SCOUT CAMPAIGN.
To CLOSE HERE.
MONDAY NIGHT.
No Report Meeting Tonight
Expect Large Reports at
Monday Nights Supper
ABOUT $4,000 REPORTED
Workers Hear Senator Larson
Last Night-Urged
to Speed Up

BY unanimous vote of all the
workers present at last nights re-
port meeting of the 1924 Boy Scout
council membership campaign, it
was decided to cnange the original
campaign plans so that the drive
will come to a close next Monday
night instead of tonight. There will
be no report meeting tonight, owing
to 1t being impossible for many OF
the team members to attend, bu.
the final dinner meeting will be held
at $50 o'clock Monday night at
which all teams are requested to
make their report.
The $4,000 mark mas almost been
reached according to reports recefv-
ed last night and as 1t Is known
some of the teams have unreportel
donations and membership fees
there is no doubt as to more thar
$4,000 being available at this time
The goal set for this district
which takes in Perth Amboy, Wood
bridge township and Carteret, Is
$1,000. Although the campaign has
not progressed with as much rapid
ity a special effort over the week
end Is expected to boost the total
considerably.
The actual total as reported at
last nights meeting was S3,762, the
various teams having raised the fol-
lowing amounts to date; Elks,
s731.50; Woman's Club. $545.25;
Lions, $45S; Scout Leaders, 1881;
De Molay, s316; Kiwanis, $291; Jr-
o. u. A. NJ, $2S7.75; Council Jewish
Women. 1884; Y. M. H. A.. $1S3.50 ;
woodbridge, s1S1; Fords. SLAB;
American Legion, $50; Rotary, no
report; Avenel, no report.
Senator Morgan F. Larson, the
sneaker at last nights meeting. told
of the work done for the scouting
movement by number of local men
who have devoted practically all OF
their spare time to the Boy Scouts
and sacrificed personal pleasures In
order that the boys of the city might
have competent leaders. He told OF
nature study and the appeal OF the
outdoors to the hoy. The senator
lust returned this week from fish,
ing trip in the Maine woods and was
we'll qualified to talk on the attrac-
ton of the great outdoors and the
good to be derived from a life IN
the open. william Horley was the
soloist last night. ,o
An effort will be made to nave

day nights final report meeting.

.KEAN FAVORED
BY MANY WOMEN
Senator Edges Opponent Is
Expected to Secure Big
Woman's Vote

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 24-The
feeling prevails here that United
States Senator Walter E. Edge will
not find a solid vote in his favor
when the Middlesex county voters go
to the poll next September to de-
eide between the senator and Hamil-
ton Il Kean for the II. S. senatorial
nomination. Sentiment expressed in
different parts of the county would
indicate that the women are rallying
to the support of Kean, possibly be-
cause of Senator Edges ''wet" atti-
tude.
Although he has not made any
public statement Sheriff Frederick
Gowen is looked upon as a strong
Kean supporter. The sheriff has
large following in Middlesex, as was
shown last year when he won the
shrievalty nomination despite the
efforts on the part of the freeholder
organization to spike" him early
in the campaign. 1t is general gos-
sip here that Gowen's strength
proved to be such that the freehold
er organization reconsidered its orig
inal plan to "shelve" Gowen, fearing
that the Highland Park Republicans,
who were supporting Gowen, would
turn down the organizations candi-
dates for freeholder. Gowen lining
up with Kean would result in many
of hissfollowers falling in line with
him.
The I<ean candidacy is being seri-
ously considered by Middlesex Re-
publicans and the sentiment for and
against Senator Edge seems to be
about evenly divided in several
places.

DEMANDS
KEAN' s STAND.
On the Bonus and to Abstain
from Making Personal
Attacks

NEWARK, May a United
States Senator Waiter z. Edge, last
night in opening his Essex county
campaign for denomination as the
Republican senatorial candidate
il New Jersey. demanded that Ham
ilton +. Kean committeeman who is
opposing him, state his position on
the Jonus and abstain from Intro
duction of personal attacks" which
he said insult the intelligence of
the voter"
Addressing the Essex Couty Re-
publican committee, Senator Edge
declared he voted to sustain the
Presidents veto of the Bursum bill,
after voting for the measure orig
inally in order to sustain Presiden.
Coolidge who today. he said "is the
asset of the Republican party, not
the United States senate"
Senator Edge asserted that he is
a wet" If disbelieving that congress
has the "moral right to prohibit
what the constitution clearly and
specifically permits. constitutes one
as such.
II don't propose to be threatened
by inference or innuendo," he said
in explaining that he was prompted
to state his position because of ru-
mors that followers of Thomas M.
Raymond, commissioner of streets,
who has maintained neutral posi-
ton in the contest, had been urged
to remain away from the meeting.
Senator Edge, tonight will speak
in Union county, the home of Mr..
/Kean.

HOFFMAN MAY
NOT BE CALLED
TO THE STAND
Staten Island Murder Trial
Enters Third Day-Hear
Many Witnesses
TELL OF THE REVOLVER
Policeman Says He Saw Hof-
man Speeding Away from
Scene of Murder

NEW YORK, May 24.-Harry L.
Hoffman today entered the third day
of his trial for the murder of Mrs
Maude A. Bauer. on lonely Staten
Island road last March, under
heavy burden of circumstantial evd-
dence.
Hoffman was identified YESTERDAY
by Patrolman Matthew j. McCor
mack as the ''white-faced" man tht
policeman had seen in a sedan shoru
ly after the time of the crime. speed
ing away from the murder spot.
Mrs. Bauer had left her mothes
and three-year-old daughter in theii
stalled car, and was picked up by =
man in a sedan who offered to take
her to a garage. Twenty minutes
later her bullet pierced and strangle6
corpse was found beside the road iese
than a half mile away.
Another witness who yesterday
gave evidence described by the
prosecution as most damaging. was
Hoffman's brother Albert. who testi-
fed that six days after the murder
he received by mail from the pris-
oner a rs calibre pistol such as OFF,
cials say was used IN the commission
of the crime.
Keep this gun in a safe place,
and If you are questioned say YOU
received it from me in February"
the witness said his brother wrote
in a note panying the pistol
While this testimony was being
given Hoffman for a time lost the
self-possession which had been his
during the first day of the trial Per-
spiration covered his. face. and he
moved nervously in his seat. De-
fense counsel said Hoffman might
not be called to the stand, adding
that this would depend on the
amount of circumstantial evidence
piled up by the prosecution.
Other witnesses yesterday gave
testimony linking the pistol with the
accused, and corroborating the iden-
tifcation already made by Patrols
man McC Cormack, and on the prevl-
Gus day by thirteen-year-old Barbara
Fachs who, pointing directly at
Hoffman, said: There's the man
that rode away with Mrs. Bauer"

BOY SLAIN BY
SUFFOCAT|ON
Peculiar SpectacIes Found
Near Swamp Furnish the
Best Clue at Chicago

CHICAGO, May 24:-Science to-
day had satisfied the authorities that
Robert Franks, thirteen-year-old son
of a millionaire, was killed by suffo-
cation when kidnapped for ransom,
and science, too, had pointed the
way to Identification of the owner
ship of the peculiar spectacles found
near the swamp where the body was
found in a culvert. The spectacles
are such as are ordinarily worn by
woman.
Coroner Oscar Wolff announced
that the boy was a victim of suffo-
cation. after his chemists had found
no external cause of death and no
metallic poisons and concluded that
a hand or cloht pressed over the
lads mouth brought death.
Death was the only certain fact
after hours of inquiry and question
ing, with Detective Chief Hughes
and Coroner Wolff agreeing that it
had not resulted from a pathological
attack as was at first supposed.
Otherwise the case assumed the SEM
blance of a photo-play plot with the
principal characteristic kidnap-
pers-missing.
On the theory that the boys
death resulted from attempts to
fight his kidnapers, investigators
believed they had supporting clues in
a pair of speetacles, narrow and
horn trimmed. prescribed for near
sighted wearer. found near the body;
the typewriter ransom demand,
written on a small folding typewriter,
expertssaid; and stories that grey
automobile had loitered near the
school the day the boy disappeared
and that a sedan, bearing writh-
ing, burlap covered bundle, was in
the neighborhood where the body
was found date Wednesday.
While Chief Hughes asked the
help of everybody in Chicago VINO
knew any facts or had ideas regard
ing the case, Jacob Franks, father
of the boy voiced an untiring determ
nation to find his sons slayers.
"I'n spend s1.000,000 to solve this
crime" he said. Money means
nothing to me now"
Mrs. Franks collapsed while being
consulted about arrangements Tor

Opposition to Both Plans Has
Been Expressed by Sec

The House will act on the report

Rejection Of the amendment pro-
posed by Senator Norris. Republican.

what, however. by the conferees' ac-
Sion in approving an amendment re-
hiring publication of the amount

to both plans has been expressed
by Secretary Mellon. The conferees
also agreed upon provision permit

Mexico, substituting for the present
fiat corporation tax of 121a per cent
a normal rate of per cent with
graduated scale of surtaxes levied on
undistributed profits above ten per
cent was rejected.
House amendments proposing an
increase in the present estate tax
rates and the imposition of a new
rift tax were retained. The senate
had proposed substitution of an in
heritance for the estate tax and diff
ferent rates to correspond on the
gift tax. The maximum estate tax
rate under the bill as reported by

DEBATE ON anti WAR
REPORT BY METHODISTS

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May "a
The debate on the anti-war report
of a special committee will be one
of the high lights of the Methodist
Episcopal general conference pro-
ceedings today. The report, read
yesterday. condemned war as the
suicide of civilization" requested the
entry of this country into the world
court and "a league" of nations, and
advocated world conference OF
churches to inaugurate campaign
against war.
1t was predicted last night that
attempts would be made to tack to
the report a declaration that the
church will refuse to support any
war, even for the defense of the
country. There are delegates who
would like to see "the league" sub
stituted for "a league" Of nations.
Still others may strive to have ref
erence to league eliminated al
together.
The election of five new bishops
was completed yesterday.
