Where is stephen spitzY


This is the question department
of justice agents, prohibition agents
and the state police were asking
last night, when Spitz failed to put
in an appearance for a hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner
John A. Delaney on the charge of
impersonating federal officers.
At 6 o'clock, after waiting moro
than three hours over the allotted
time for Spitz's appearance. Conn
missioner Delaney declared the
SIS. 900 bail furnished by the General
Casualty Surety Company, for his
appearance when wanted, forfeited.
The demand that the bail be for
feited was made by representative
of the department of justice and was
granted by the commissioner after
Jacob S. Karkus of the law firm OF
Karkus & Karkus representing
Spitz, requested a longer period of
time in which to produce the de-
fendant.
Mr., Karkus said the defendant
was under the impression when he
visited the commissioners office in
the morning, that in view of the
fact he was to waiver a hearing 1t
was not necessary for him to be
present. He was of the impression
that Spitz could be obtained If
reasonable time was given to pro-
duce him. Mr.. Karkus declared he
was not appearing for the bonding
company, but for the defendant.
Commissioner Delaney stated that
Mr.. Karkus had asked him at 1850
o'clock if it was necessary for Spltz
to be present at the hearing, and he
had informed Mr.. Karkus that 1t
would be. Later the commissioner
said he learned that Spitz had LETT.

Justice representative set O'Clock

Shortly before this hour, MIR. kar-
kus. said he had received tele-
phone call from Spitz. in which he
(Spitz) said he was in New Bruns-
wick and coming to Perth Ampoy
arrived and Spitz failed to put in
an appearance his bail was declared
forfeited.
State police were in the city yes
terday looking for Spitz, and 1t IS
nrobable they are continuing their
search today. Spitz has failed to
nut in an appearance at Commls-
sioner Delaney's office today. When
arrested he will probably be taken
direct to Newark and placed under
a heavy bail or in jail. 1t is SAID
about the streets today that Spltz
was in town yesterday afternoon
while the commissioner and gov
ernment representatives were wait
ing for him.
1t is rumored the case against
Spitz may turn out bigger than al
first expected According to the ru-
mors 1t is believed Spitz was en-

DR.. CROWTHER
!. NEAR FIST FIGHT
Former Local Man in Heated
Bonus Argument in Wash
ington Committee Room
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
washington Correspondent of the
Perth Ambey Evening News)

! WASHINGTON, March S-Repre-
sentative Isaac Bacharaeh. of At
| lantic City, through quick action
and the rapid use of ready wit and
conciliatory words prevented real
old time fist fight in the ways and
means committee rooms this week
between Representative Allen
Treadway of Stockbridge, Mass, and
Representative Frank Crowther OF
Schenectady, N. Y, after the latter
pair had engaged in a bitter argu-
ment and exchange of accusations
over the soldier bonus bill.
There have been numerous evil
dences of bad blood" il the COM
mittee room between Treadway who
is opposed to the be lus, and Crow
ther who favors it. The situation
reached a climax when during dis
cussion of the proposal to favora-
bly, report the bonus bill to the
House, Crowther accused Treadway
of trying to prevent any action that
won bring about passage of the
bonus bill.
Quick as flash Treadway leaped
to his feet and rushed towards
Crowther Before he had advanced
more than two steps Crowther left
his seat and went to meet him.
Representative Bacharach, weigh
ing about 153 pounds, placed himsef
deftly between them, and while US
ing his elbows literally on both the
would-be scrappers, he with well
chosen words of conciliation sue
ceeded in calming them until other
members could, as Bacharach put 1t,
open the doors and windows to let
out the hot air and permit the
com batants to cool. Representative
Crowther resided in Perth Amboy
for many years.

HAS FINISHED
Both Houses Adjourn Follow
ing Rush of Legislation
Await Vetoes

TRENTON, March s tBy The As
sociated Press) The confusiont and
song had ceased, the crowd had de-
parted when at 4:3S today the
speaker gaveI re-sounded for ar
rival of the official hour when by
concurrent resolution the passing of
bills must cease. The senate had
finished its deliberations fully an
hour earlier.
The short session of 1924 was at
an end insofar as the passing of
bills were concerned. Adjournment
was taken in 10th houses until We'd
nesday next at when the members
are to reconvene to consider bills
vetoed by the governor. Final ad-
journment was fixed by the same
resolution which stopped the passing
of bills, for next Friday night at IL.
Last nights session in the House
brought victory for adherents of the
Bright senate bill to amend the
tenement house act by allowing
eight foot instead of nine foot cell
ings as well as provide for other
cancellations to builders which II
was asserted would reduce costs and
not increase fire hazards. The night
in the senate saw passing of the bill
to allow a maximum admission fee
of $25 to boxing matches. This bill
was attempted a second time before
1t could secure the necessary eleven
votes. The appropriation bill was
passed in both branches without fur
ther change despite insis'ent ru-
mors, of early evening, that the
senate would tear the measure apart
to eliminate certain salary increases.
The assembly committee substitute
for the senate committee substitute
for the original four year half mill
tax measure was passed earlier IN
the day.
The House passed the Agans road
bill authorizing addition to the state
highway system of a road from
Trenton to Buttsville through Hun
terdon county. The measure had no
opposition save from Mr.. Kenworthy
of Essex. Attempts by Mrs. Thomp-
son to secure passage of her bill
adding a stretch between Borden
town and Lakewood were not sue
cessful.
Discussion of the late day session
of the House reached its climax
when the j. ]. Thompson bill to per-
nit municipalities to relieve pubic
service corporations of all or any
part of the cost of paving and keep
ing in repair pavements between
tracks and within eighteen inches on
either side was defeated.

AT lOBBIES ATT TRENTON

TRENTON, March SIN the rush
Of final consideration of bills last
night the senate pause long enough
to deliver a smashing blow at the
undertaken and the real estate lob
bies which have been endeavorine
to put through bills which would
have resulted in requirements in the
way of education which would have
made it impossible for many people
to enter these two lines of business.
Led by Senator Simpson of Hud-
son, Richards Of Atlantic, and
Woodruff of Camden, the upper
branch of the legislature delivered
a stinging rebuke to the state board
of undertakers and embalmers de-
feating the bill requiring two years
high school training for undertake
ers.
But five senator's supported the
measure on the roll call. They
were Harrison of Essex. Pierson OF
Union, Reeves of Cumberland, Rob-
erts of Burlington, Stevens of Mons
mouth. and Smith of Passaic.
Noes, Blackwell of Mercer.
Bright of Cape May, Simpson Of
Union, Whitney of Morris, and

said simpson facetiously poking fun
at the bill.
Senator Richards took a fling All

by the undertakers to get this bill

voted for a companion measure
away from the bill. These were
Barber of Warren, Borton OF Saiens
Davis of Gloucester, Larson of Mid

But Known to be Poll

WASHINGTON, March S.-The
special senate committee investigat-
ing Attorney General Daugherty to-
) aysissued a subpoenea for Leonard
Wood, Jr., to question him regard
ing the story that a deal involving
cabinet appointment was proposed
by oil interests at the Republican
convention in Chicago.
Other prospective witnesses before
the Daugherty committee include
several Ohioans, politicians and
other associates of Mr.. Daugherty
Of Columbus and other cities. Their
rames are withheld.
Attorney General Daugherty's re-
turn to Washington has brought no
outward sign of new and more
acute crisis in his cabinet status,
but the feeling persists in high quar-
ters that his retirement Is imminent.
The undercurrent of expectancy
eddying around the attorney gem
eral received no sst-mulous from his
activities yesterday. He came back
from Miami after nine-day trip
apparently in better health than
when he left, attended the regular
cabinet meeting, joined other offi-
cials in silence about his status, and
went to work on the legal aspects

eral Williams states that the supplies
there have been greatly reduced
since the armistice. He writes:
This reduction has been accom-

and by current issues that have benn

nal at the present time which are
not occupied.
The storage conditions at Rari-s
tan Arsenal are now considered emil
nently satisfactory. as all material
has been placed in covered storage
