New Jail At MetuChen
Fails To Hold This Boy

METUCHEN, Oct. 23:-"Now you
see me, now you don't" sang sixteen
year-old Clement Triano, of Kearny,
as he looked into a hole in the ce-
ment floor of brand new cell in a
brand new jail in the brand new bor-
ough hall yesterday afternoon. The
hole in the floor, by the way, led
from the cell to the cellar. Freedom
was in sight for the boy and after
some thinking he accomplished the
feat.
1t was this way: Clement, who is
a schoolboy. ran away. Darn the
luck! Chief Willard B. Hutchinson
cameealeHg-~sne EincUffr Highway
and picked up the boy. who was on
his way to Philadelphia to seek in
dependence, free from the drudgery
of school days, teachers and the like.
Somewhat gloomy, Clement accom-
panied the police chief to the head
quarters where he was told that he
would have the honor of being the
first prisoner in the new municipal
edifice nearing completion.
Whether this compliment as being
the first prisoner meant anything to
young Triano is not known. 1t is
sure, however. that Clement thought
he would like to be the first prisoner
to make a getaway from the new
jail. Did he know that his dream

would come true? No, Clement never
was in Jail before and did not think
that going away from home is an Of
fense. While thinking his plans and
fate over, Chief Hutchinson tele-
phoned to the boys parents. who
promised to come for the boy as soon
as possible.
Finally Clement was escorted by
the chief to the new station and
locked in the cell. The place looked
cold and dreary. A glance In the
rear of the cell revealed light. Glenn
ent looked through the hole and saw
the cellar The hole. however, was
not large enough to put the boys
head through. He Knocked pieces of
concrete away, making the hole
large enough to get through. From
the cellar Clement had no difficulty
in leaving. There was no one
around. No one thought of the hole
which was left for the purpose of
putting in a pipe later.
At 6:30 last night Chief Hutchin-
son handed over to Patrolman Smith
the keys to the cell to bring the
prisoner. Smith was dumbfounded
when he saw the cell was empty. He
came back with the news to chief.
Chief did not believe it. Both went
to the cell and looked at the hole.
That was all there was to look upon.

Another Address Tonight

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-A wide
range of topics, including domestic
and international problems and an
address tonight by President Cool
idge, held the attention of delegates
who came here today from eleven
states to attend the second mid-year
meeting of the eastern division of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.
The president has prepared his ad-
dress with a view to making 1t his
last extended pronouncement before
the election, and the crowded two
day program of the meeting calls for
discussion of economic questions by
a number of leaders and the dele
gates generally.
Consideration of European prob
lens, with particular attention to the
effects of the Dawes plan, was given
special place on today's program at
a luncheon meeting of the American
section of the International Cham
ber of Commerce, with Willis H.
Booth, of New York, president OF
that organization, the principal
speaker. A. c. Bedford, of New
York, as chairman of the special
meeting, also had a cablegram from
Owen d. Young, who helped frame
the Dawes plan and acted as tenn
porary agent general of reparations
prior to the permanent appointment
to that post of S. Parker Gilbert, Jr.,
outlining the progress of its opera
ton.

SHIELDS WANTS NO VOTES,
ANTI SALOON LEAGUE SAYS

Speaking for the Anti-Saloon
League of New Jersey, the superin-
tendent, Rev. Marna S. Poulson, has
released today the following state
ment:
THE decision of Mr.. Justice Min
turn to the effect that the name of
James K. Shields as an Independent
candidate for the United States SEN
ate Will have to appear on the official
ballots in no sense changes the pre-
vious announcement made by Mr..
Shields that he Is not a candidate
for that office. In a statement given
to the press at the time of his de-
clining the proffered nomination, Mr..
Shields attitude Is that the cause of
law enforcement IN New Jersey will
be better conserved by his Withdraw
al than by his candidacy.
1.-THE public should understand
that even though, owing to judicial
Interpretation based upon a techni-
cality. Mr.. Shields name appears on
the ballot, he is not candidate, and
the Anti-Saloon League requests its
friends to refrain from voting for
him. If Mr.. Shields name is on the
ballot, it will be there on the insist
ence of the enemies of the eighteenth
amendment and the national and
state prohibition laws; and every
dictate of common sense, fair play
and loyalty to the cause of prohibi-
ton says to every friend of prohibi-
ton: Do not permit yourselves to
become the cats-paw of politicians
who are openly advocating the nulli-
fication of the national prohibition
law and the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, and of our state prohi-
bition enforcement law. and hope to
use your vote to aid their plans"

LITTLE BLACK SATCHEL
ENTERS IN OIL PROBE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23-Detailed
moyements of the little black
satcher which figured prominently
in the senate oil investigation last
winter were to come up today in
the federal court trial of the gov
ernment's suit to cancel Elk Hills
Navel Oil Reserve leases granted Do
heny interests by A. b. Fall, former
secretary of the interior.
Whether minute and comprehensive
scrutiny of the trail of 100000 al
legged to have been placed in the
satchel and carried to Fall by z. L.
Doheny. Jr., would substantiate the
governments charge that the pay
ment was part of a plot to put Do
heny interests in control of the Call
ifornia oil reserves remained to be
seen as court convened today. The
announced intention OF government
counsel was to examine as many wit
nesses as necessary to detail the
100000 transaction from all angles.
Near the close of yesterdays ses-
sion former Senator Atlee Pome-
rene of government counsel called to
the witness stand. Graham Young,

Election In Metuchen
Is Bitterly Contested

METUCHEN, Oct. 23:-An un-
paralleled interest in politics is being
manifested by many of the members
of both parties who in years past
have taken only a passive interest
in the annual elections, and this con-
dition seems to indicate that the
contest on November 4 will be very
closely fought. The exceedingly large
number of registered voters will in
crease the interest in the contest, as
about 400 of the 2,221 registered are
not classified as to party affiliations.
A clear cut contest between the
Democrats and Republicans in the
race for the four local offices which
are to be filled this year, together
with the Importance OF the national
election, has stimulated the leaders
of both parties to their utmost in
preparing to get out a record vote.
The agitation of the local Chamber
of Commerce to poll 100 per cent
vote, indorsed by both parties. and
the results of the registration seem
to indicate that the name of every
voter among the $500 inhabitants
has been entered on the poll books.
The borough in the past has been
counted safely Republican by about
a 400 majority, but the heavy regis
tration which is nearly twenty-five
per cent higher than any previous
year. creates question as to wheth-
er the town will remain Republican
or change over to a Democrat.
Very little third party sentiment
has been indicated and the present
outlook is that not over 100 votes
will go to that party.
Known in former years as a Re-
publican stronghold, the old guard
leaders look for substantial major
ity for Coolidge and the national tic
ket. while the Democrats are pinning
their hopes on annexing the support
of the new voters and rolling up
majority for their party as they did

GIVE SERVICE, HE SAYS

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23:-Preser-
vation of initiative and enterprise is
the primary thing which we have
to do in our country" President
Coolidge today told the executive
committee of the New York Business
Mems Republican Association, who
called at the White House.
Freedom of initiative and enter
prise carries with it., the President
said, an obligation upon every busi-
ness establishment to give Service
as we'll as goods to consumers.
Declaring the economic system of
the government fundamentally
sound,' the President criticised
those who emphasize "out of all due
of these abuses, he held, lies in the
hands of those administering COM
merce and industry and only they,
he added. can prevent the necessity
of government Intervention.
ALREADY they have made great
advances in this direction" he con-
tinued. Their sense of responsibility
has made steady growth during the
last two score of years. We no long
er hear the expression of Indifferent
attitude toward the relation of busi-
ness to the people. The merchants
and the manufacturers today are
seeking to deliver something besides
their goods; and they are delivering
it with pride. That new something
is the sense Of service to the COM
munity.
'-These are the lines of real prog
ress. To tear down a system under
which so much of genuine progress
has been accomplished in so short a
period, merely because the minor
defects that have not yet been en-
tirely eliminated, would be a policy
of destruction. We need not fear
that the American community will
commit itself to such a policy. 1t is
the long expressed genius of the
American people to build up, to con-
struct. That genius was never more
vigorous, never more intent on exer-
cising itself than now. 1t will still
continue to be supreme in our coun-
try"

headquarters and the leaders are
busy canvassing the town for the
local ticket, as the political COM
plexion of next years council prac-
tically hinges on the result on cleo
ton day. The Democrats at the
present time are represented by two
members in the council and Mayor
Clarkson. Should they be successful
in electing both Lewis Compton and
Lucian v. Bruno to the council. they
would then be in absolute control
despite the fact that one Of their
present councilmen. Howard Nook,
will complete his term in December.
Fully cognizant of the attempt on
the part of the Democrats 10 control

their working majority for another
year. Councilman +. NJ. Potter,
whose term expires this year, Is not

John N. Adam and Thomas Young
are the Republican aspirants, who
for the past two weeks have been in

The contest for assessor and col
lector is not so intense. Many seem
