IIS VICTIM OF "DUAL I

'JCtenâ. vcpioocmigm
Supporting a "sunlight bride" by
day and another "moonlight mate"
by night proved too much for the
resourcefulness of J>. H. Richardson,
former actor, dancing teacher and
rancher, who, according to officers,
attempted tlie dual domestic experi
ment at Han Piogo, California.
At the ranch home where he
spent his nights, Mrs. Richardson
presumed he was an electrical work
er in tho city. In his town apart
ment Mrs. Rena Goodnight, young
war widow and his bride of a month,
believed Richardson worked nights
as Mexican border patrol.
Another Big Crowd Enjoys the
Performance at Majestic
Talent at Their Best
Local talent scored another great
success laet night when the final per
formance of "All Aboard" was given
at the Majestic theatre for the bene
fit of the Y. AV. C. A. fund and the
audience which almost filled the
house 011 Monday Increased by sever
al hundred last night. If such con
dition is possible, the entire cast su
perceded their first performance by
many degrees, all the dancing, sing
ing and originality being entirely
without a Haw and the plot of the
play worked to perfection. The en
cores wero greater in number, the
audience in high spirits, the voices
in better trim and the general at
mosphere that of λ successful effort
outdone a previous performance
which had been considered almost
perfect.
Besides unbounded credit due the
entire cast composed of 175 of the
local people the success was largely
due to those who wore in charge of
the event, the staging and the work
ing out of the business end which
were of such great importance.
Miss Claire Pfeiffer was in
charge of the talent, Miss Dorothy
Haddcn, tickets; Miss J,a Verne De
Hamme, program, and Miss Sally
Michaels, advertising and publicity.
All of these girls worked conscien
tiously and with their several assis
tants put the show "across."
One of the interesting features of
the program both nights was the
rose ballet which was performed on
the deck of the S. S. Florida. The
dancers, Marion Blanchard, Bertha
MacDowell, Alma Rassmussen and
Frances Spitzer all showed particu
lar graces in the execution of the
many difficult steps.
The Y. \V. C. A. looks nearer as
the result of the show. A substan
tial amount was made by the Girls'
Club who staged the event which
will form the nest egg that it is
planned will grow into fund that will
enable the women and girls of the
community to have their own "Y."

Measures Intended to Stabil
ize Coal Business and Fix
Seasonal Rates
Hy GEORGE H. MANNING
(Washington Correspondent of Eve
ning New».)
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 15.—
The coal Industry through ita tre
mendously powerful organizations,
has lined up to oppose passage of the
two Frellnghuyeen coal bills now be
fore congress intended to stabilize
the coal business and to fix seasonal
rates for transportation of coal.
Formal notice of this formidable
opposition was given Senator Jo
seph S. Frellnghuyeen of New Jer
sey yesterday in a letter of protest
from George H. Cushlng. managing
director of the American Wholesale
Coal Association.
These two bills, Nos. S 53 and 54,
are next on the senate calendar and
are expected to be the next measures
taken up by the senate after the bill
to regulate the packing industry,
now under discussion, is disposed of.
Senator Frelinghuysen framed these
bills and reported them to the Sen
ate two weeks ago from the commit
tee on interstate commerce which
has been conducting investigations of
all phases of the coal industry off
and on for the past two years.
The bill S 53, incorporating sug
gestions made by Chairman Clark of
the Interstate. Commerce Commis
sion. whose members unqualifiedly
endorse it, authorizes the commis
sion to initiate lower freight rates
on coal during the spring and sum
mer months and higher rates during
the fall and winter months in order
to encourage consumers to purchase
in advance of their seasonal needs,
thereby keeping the mines operating
at full capacity ?11 the year around.
The other bill, S 54, puts the coal
industry under government control
anil regulations. It gives the secre
tary of commerce and the bureau of
mines authority to investigate pro
duction of coal stocks on hand, dis
tribution and prices; costs and pro
1« 1. 1 I λ I ... .
·· ·*% P^V'· νν/·ι\4·^·ν/ι·^| »'W'/ · «« ν ι ν ι V t
The bureau of mines Is authorized
by the bill to Investigate the practi
cability of a statutory zoning sys
tem defining the distance from the
mine to which the coal shall be
transported, and the advisability of
having all coal for the government
purchased by one central agency.
"The bill authorizing seasonal
coal transportation rates will reduce
the cost to the consumer and gener
ally stabilize the price and the coal
industry as a whcle," said Senator
Frellnghuysen in his report to tfie
senate. "The capacity output of all
ths coal mines assuming fair con
stant operation, would far exceed
present consumption. The output
of all these mines, working as at
present only intermittently during
the spring and summer months and
working to capacity during the fall
and winter months is barely suffi
cient to supply the current needs
and the greatly increased cold
weather demand for coal. During
the winter the demand so nearly
equals the current available supply
that scarcity prices prevail.
ONE DEAD, POLICEMEN
HURT IN ACCIDENT
(Continued from page 1)
Officer Buchan is still in the hos
pital suffering from a deep gash
which encircles the front of his head
and numerous lacerations. Peter
son, the chauffeur, who lives at 210

jured and was taken to his home.
He telephoned the chief this after
noon that he would report for duty
tomorrow morning as police chauf
feur to take Officer Buchan's place.
The condition of Seiboth's leg will
make it impossible for him to do
patrol duty tomorrow.

cident occurred in that township.
The prosecutor's office will make an
investigation.

utation of Imre Horvath of 42 2

Highway Commission to Con
fer With Casolene Co.'s
Regarding Stations *
[By Evening New· Corrtipondent.]
TRENTON, June 16.—Step· which
the State Highway Commission has
taken looking toward the elimina
tion of unnecessary traffic conges
tion on the roads were announced
today. A conference has been called
by the State Highway Engineer
Thomas J. Wasser for Monday, Juno
20, Jn the commission's office in this
city to which representatives of six
of the largest gasolene distributing
companies have been invited. The
purpose of the meeting is to provide
a solution for the problem which
has arisen out of the location of
gas tanks along the roadsides and at
important intersections of roads.
"The State Highway Commission
is now confronted with a serious
problem due to the density of "traffic
which is using the State Highways
of New Jersey." declared Mr. Was
ser today. "Serious accidents have
already occurred and traffic has
been unnecessarily congested at sev
eral points along the highway due to
the fact that garage owners and Ail
ing stations have tanks located along
the highway within the graded right
of way, and also along the curbs in
municipalities. It is the intention of
the commission to endeavor to ar
rive at some solution of the prob
lem as to the probable location of
tanks in the future and also what is
to be done with the gas tanks that
are already placed."
Another problem relating to con
gestion which is confronting the
highway commission has to do with
the practice of farmers and garden
producers generally in establishing
sales stands along the right of way
in front of their properties for the
purpose of soliciting business from
passing motorists.
Hereafter automobiles which have
burned or met with other accidents
will not be permitted to remain on
the roads for several days, it wag
announced by Mr. Wasser, who said
that the highway commission has de
cided on a policy of immediate re

CLAIM STOLEN 6000S ME
FOUND AT SOUTH RIVER
[By Evening: New· Correepondent.]
SOUTH RIVER, June 15—Three
rases of eye glass cases imported
from Spain and valued at $1,200,
which were recently stolen from
tho firm of Fred O. Nelson Com
pany, of 56 Wall street, New York
city, have been located in the store
here of Philip Hollander in Wil
liam street. Although Mr. Hol
lander claims that he knows noth
ing about the goods he has been
held under $1,000 bail on suspicion.
When the goods were stolen the
matter was reported to the New
York police, a detective was placed
on the case and after tracing and
locating the truck driver it was
icarned from him that the goods
had been brought to this place. The
local police were notified and Chief
Eberwein with the assistance of Of
ficers Van Deventer and Meade suc
ceeded in locating the goods in the
rear of Hollander's grocery store.
Hollander claims that the cases
containing the eye glass cases, had
been placed in the store by men
who had rented the space from him
and he knew nothing concerning
the matter. One of the boxes was
found broken open and the cases
strewn about as if the robbers had
been disappointed in their loot, hav
ing expected to find something of
greater value. The eases which were
manufactured o| the finest grain
leather, are now in the possession of
the police.

of Austria, but this was in the nature
of a loan to Great Britain, France

from Austria for their account.
Italy's claim consists of itt^part of
this loan and 25,000,000 pounds laid
out for the expatriation of prisoners
of war and whatever reparations may
be awarded under the treaty of Ver
sailles.
A representative of the financial
