RIOT ACT IN FORCE
CONTINUED from PAGE One)

Garfield with Hayes but were de-
MED the right to speak.
Before leaving the courtroom
without being able to have reduced
the bail under which Wolf and Dunn
were held, Hayes declared it i'm
possible for strikers to get justice
in magistrates courts of New Jer-
sey."n
American constitutional rights
mean nothing here" he said. 1.-The
prosecutions here today are perfect
ly outrageous, preposterous and a
travesty on all that bears the name
of American justice. One of the
first principles of justice is that ex-
cessive bail should not be demand
ed"
Justice of the Peace Hargraves
then stopped Hayes with his threat
of disorderly conduct, if he did not
speak in a different manner. Later
he said that if Hayes had replied he
would have "held him in no less
than $4,000 bail, and perhaps with
out ball."
Dunn was held in $4,000 bail and
Wolf in $4,000. Esther Lowell, a
New York newspaper woman, who
was arrested in Garfield last night,
shortly after the riot act was read,
was released in $500 bail. Albert
Weisbord, organizer of the strike.
was still prisoner tonight in the
Passaic county Jail in default of $780,
600 bail and Jack Rubenstein and
Jack Miller. his principal lieuten-
ants, were held in $4,000 each to-
day on charges of melting q riot.
Early today small group of strik-,
ers was dispersed from in front OF
the Forstmann & Huffman mills in
Garfield. Provisions of the riot act.
under which Bergen county arres s
are now being made, are so strin-
gent that five persons compose a
mob and If they fail to move when
so ordered, the sheriffs men may
shoot to kill without being liable to
prosecution. Those arrested under
the act are subject to a heavy fine
and from one to Is years in prison.
Mr.. Hayes and his party attempt
ed to hold their meeting at Belmont
hall later in the day. Strikers rush
ed the locked gates of Belmont Park
and broke them down. 1t was dur :
ing this disturbance that Wolf was
arrested.
In Informing Hayes that he could
not speak Under Sheriff Donaldson
said he could speak in a private hall.
Hayes said he would make it a test
case whether or not Belmont Park
hall was private.
When Dunn was arraigned in Jus
tice of the Peace Hargraves' court
Hayes was not present. He had left
the courtroom otelephone and upon
returning was directed to another
/ courtroom by Chief Of Police Forss
of Garfield He waited in the other
courtroom for As minutes and then
went below to find that Dunn's case
had been concluded and bail fixed
without a lawyer in his behalf.
Dunn was arrested last night
shortly after Sheriff Memo read the
riot act to the Garfield strikers. The
officer making the arrest testified
that the act had been read only IS
minutes. Terms of the act stated
that it must have been in effect all
hour before arrests can be made.

Say Waterville Taxi
Driver Charged
Excessive Fares

The first Waterville taxi driver to
appear in the municipal court in the
effort of the police to regulate the
taxi business in Waterville was Cab
rlel Joseph who was arraigned be-
fore Judge Atchley yesterday after
noon on the complaint that he had
overcharged a customer. Joseph
was represented by James L. Boyle
while the city solicitor, Cyril NJ. Jolly,
appeared for the city.
1t was alleged that Joseph carried
Fred A. Hartman from his store on
Main street to his home on Dalton, a
distance within the % cent limit, and
that the charge for the trip was so
cents.
Joseph entered a plea of not gull
ty and it was argued by his attorney
that Joseph, in maintaining a day
and night taxi stand, was rendering
a service to the city and that if the
defendant had overcharged upon one
occasion it should be overlooked as
1t was his first offense. The case was
placed on file with the statement by
the judge that others who are
brought before him on the same
complaint will not get off so easily.

mate pictures of conditions and pro-
hibition in the Pennsylvania anthra-
cite districts and in the New York
City tenements were given today to
the senate liquor committee as the
vets again took up their presenta-
ton after having given way to the
drys for day.
Father Francis Kasaczum, rector
Of the Holy Family Church at Su-
gar Notch, Pa. described distilling
and orgies in the homes of miners,
while Mrs. Viola Anglim, deputy
chief probation officer in the New
York City Family Court, testified as
to lowering of moral and spiritual
conditions in New York.
Before these witnesses were
heard. Stanley Shirk, research di-
rector of the Moderation League.
Inc, of New York. spent an hour
presenting statistics and charts
based on official police reports
which showed, he contended, that
drunkenness under bone-dry laws
was just as prevalent as before Vol
stead days.
All three witnesses emphasized
what they contended was the de-
moralizing effect of prohibition upon
the young. Father Kasaczum de-
clared that in his section young girls
who before prohibition would not
have associated with men who drank
habitually, now will go only with
youngsters who can supply them
with liquor.
Bluntly and graphically, the priest
described immortality in the homes
of miners, at nearby resorts and
roadhouses, and declared that con-
ditions had come to such a pass that
even very young children drink
liquor.

said. land heard a three-year old
child crying, 'Moonshine, Momma,

Mrs. Anglim testified that her four
teen probation officers in New York
had told her of finding several hun
dred stills in their districts. most of
them in tenement houses. This iq-
uor is. made in the presence of chill
dren, she asserted, insisting that the
condition of women and children was
worse since prohibition than before
Mr.. Shirk declared that it was
common knowledge" that drinking
among boys and girls since national
prohibition was adopted has been
steadily increasing. He pointed to
POLICE reports of Washington. d. c.,
showing an increase of 81 percent in
the number of arrests of young peo-
pie for drungenness in 1924 as COM
pared with pre- prohibition years.
