eventually see a union of these forces which would cut tho Bolshevik! off
from the Baltic and aid in rounding them up in the Interior of Russia.

of the club during the past year and
also a report of Its financial status
which showed the clul» to be in excel
lent condition. Reports of the vuri
uua other officers and committees
were read.
After the meeting Kdward Neu
mann of New York gave a demon
stration of mind reading and mental
telepathy. He also presented a novel
series of sleight-of-hand deceptions
end hia work was conceded to be the
best of. its kind ever presented at any
of the club’s entertainments. An ex
cellent chowder was served later.
The new board of governors will

THIEF CONFESSES
NEW ROBBERY
Held for the Grand Jury
--Theatre Is Entered by
Burglar
Joseph S. Karmonski, eighteen
years old, of Woodbridge, who was
yesterday taken into custody by the
Woodbrldgo police and turned over to
Detective Long, who brought him to
this city on a burglary charge, was
arraigned before Recorder Pickersgill
this morning and confessed that he
had stolen tho clothing from the store
of Deichos & Abrahanter at 400 State
street on New Year's night. Karmon
ski, otherwise known as the "Squir
rel" because of his talent In the art
of climbing, was held to await the
action of the grand jury.
Another Robbery
The Royal theatre was entered
some time late last night or early this
morning and $100 in cash stolen from
the box office, the thief playing a
"fifty-fifty" game, however, and leav
ing almost as much as he took. En
trance to the box office was gained
by prying open the door which did
not offer much resistance. The thief
rifled the cash drawer but failed to
take all the money.
Detective Sergeant Lawrence A.
Long investigated the case this morn
ing but the thief left no clue which
might lead to an arrest. The fact
that the thief left some of (lie money
would Indicate that Instead of being
intent upon a "clean-up" he was in
need of a certain amount and upon
getting that was satisfied to leave the
rest alone.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Jan. 3—W.

Perfli Amboy, was elected a director

Compromise if Republican
Deadlock Continues
Bu Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, .Jan. 9.—It Is likely that
the senate tight for the presidency
will not be carried to the floor on or
i ganization day next Tuesday. It is
[ rumored about the corridors of the
I state house here that one of the seven
| senators supporting Senator Harold
B. Wells, of Burlington county, for
the presidency, will Insist at Satur
day's conference that the deadlock
be broken, either by a vote of the
participating senators, or that the
senate president and Ifepubltcan floor
Ipader be determined by lot. If the
reported plan Is carried through.
Rase and Runyon will get the two
places involved in the battle.
The plan of deciding the fight by Tot
is that the names of Senators Cose
and Runyon !>e put into a hat, ami
that the one first drawn shall he the
senate president and the other the
Republican floor leader.
There Is little likelihood that a bal
lot will result in a majority vote for j
either Case or Runyon, because of the |
disinclination of the Mackay men to
vote for a Wells man. and the same
attitude of the Weils men toward a
Mackay man.
NEW TELEGRAPH RATES
The Western I'nion Telegraph Com- I
pany announces that there has been i
a new rate made for night messages
which went into effect on January 1.
The rates are greatly reduced and it is
for the accommodation of the public
that the company changel the rates.
* These night message rates are de
signed to mridge the gap between the
short day ineswffces and the lengthy '
night letters, and provide for short
over-night communications at the
lowest possible cost.
In accordance with the new rates
the minimum charge for ten-word
messages is twenty cents. A night
message of moderate length can be
sent some distance for from twenty
five to thirty-five cents.
It Is hoped bj- the local office that
the people here will make use of these
messages so that it will be worth
white to keep the office open till 11
o’clock at night, as has hitherto been
the custom.
