THREE CENTS iw«k ASK CO-OPERATION IN COAL CRISIS •NEW ATTEMPT MADE TO END STRIKES ■ * Lone Bandit Holds Off Police for Hours at Little Silver HE IS FINALLY CAPTURED Slater Sought by Local Police -Is Ex-Convict and Well Known Here Fred Slater, ex-convict, and a former resident of Perth Amboy, is being sought by the authorities of ? Little Silver and Monmouth county as the accomplice of James Ayres • in the robbery of the Little Silver postoffice on Monday night. I Just how the detectives and police engaged on the case have connect ed Slater with the crime is not known but Acting Lieutenant Frank Kasprzak received a call from Red Bank early yesterday morning say ing that the former local man was wanted on suspicion of complicity in the robbery that had such a sen sational outcome. Slater has served time in state prison for bank robbery and has been in trouble on several other oc casions here and elsewhere. The last time he was arrested in this vicinity was at South Amboy several months ago when the entire staff of the prosecutor’s office raided a tramp camp and apprehended a number of men who had made a deserted shack their headquarters lor a period of weeks. ■pSu... j&res, the captured robber, was taken into custody after one of the weirdest sieges in New Jersey crim inal annals. For over four hours the lone man stood off a posse of five hundred persons, including among whom were police of Little Silver, Shrewsbury and Red Bank, the fire departments of the two last named places, eight members of the state constabulary, and the entire Monmouth county detective force. The prisoner is a native of Little Silver and has just completed a twenty year prison sentence. The refuge chosen by the fugitive was a deserted house at Little Silver, just off the Red Bank-Long Branch road. For four hours the house was surrounded by a watching throng, which, at a distance of 5U0 yards, and in tne light of searchlights of more than 200 automobiles, poured H9 an incessant stream of lead into the wooden sides of the building. The capture was not effected, however, until water poured into the build ing by daring firemen gradually drove the desperate man into the cellar and then, in his last retreat, steadily rose until it reached his shoulders. At 1 o'clock yesterday morning the water caused a portion of the cellar foundation to cave in • and watchers saw a white handker chief waved from the aperture. Early in the afternoon, when Ayres’ presence in the building was accidently discovered by the owner, police attempted to storm the room occupied by the desperado. The robber repulsed the police with a rattle of revolver fire and succeeded In shooting County Detective Jacob Rue through the right hand. A .45 calibre bullet pierced the thumb and shattered the bone. The police then drew off to await reinforcements. Get Ayres Pal’s Name RED BANK, July 27—Detectives at Little Silver said today that they had obtained from James Ayres, for ty, the thief who was drowned out and captured in a vacant house af ter robbing the postofflee there, the name of a man who aided him in the robbery. His arrest ic expected. Ayres, who waged a four-hour battle with policemen and fiiemen and shot County Detective J. B. Rue in the hand was held for the grand jury and may spend the rest of his life in prison. OHe said he had intended to kill himself rather than be captured. He formerly iived in Little Silver and was released three weeks ago from the Trenton prison, where he had served a term for robbery. Little Silver had another thrill last night when the home of Post master Clark B. Kemp was robbed. The thief got in a rear window and stole a diamond ring, revolver and clothing. DRIVER FINED $125 Thoma . E. Mooney, twenty-seven, a chauffeur of Hoboken, was taken into custody by Motorcycle Officer Frank Seiboth this morning on a charge of driving an overloaded truck. Arraigned before the re corder in special session he was fined $125 and costs. Arrests from this ca.se are growing more and more frequent here and the police will continue until overloading is discontinued. MONMOUTH WANTS GERAN AS RAMSAY BOOM IS ADVANCED Ramsay Candidacy Gains Ground, But Monmouth Wants Congressional Candidate, is Claim No little sensation has been caus ed in Democratic circles throughout the third congressional distric', which comprises Monmouth, Mid dlesex and Ocean counties, since the announcement yesterday by County Clerk Bernard M. Gannon that he Will support Dr. William E. Ramsay for the nomination of congressman in the Democratic primaries. The announcement came like a bolt out of a clear sky, and has caused a discussion such as has not stirred the district for some time. In fact indications are that the Democrats are already taking sides, some being in favor of the Ramsay candidacy, while others many in this city, arc openly declar ing themselves for Geran. The question between Geran and Ramsay seems to rest upon the wet and dry issue. Ramsay is a “wet” candidate, having been defeated for congress two years ugo when he ran against T. Frank Appleby of Asbury Park on a wet platform, Appleby being dry. This according to Ram say's supports should make him the logical candidate for congress to run on the Edwards' ticket. Geran's friends, however, point out that us Geran has never declared himself on the prohibition Issue, even though he may be a considered a dry con didate. there is nothing to prove this to be a fact, and that a surprise may be sprung when he does announce that he will be a candidate. The tendency of many of tho Democrats IB L1 lei L UCIflll imo Uic uvov pwoiu... ties in the district for election. Word from Monmouth county coming into the city today, seems to favor the selection of Geran as the candidate in as much as Middlesex has tho candidate for governor Monmouth should have tho candi date for congress. Monmouth Dem ocrats also point out that since Ger an and Appleby, the Republican candidate are both Monmouth coun ty residents, Geran would prove a much stronger candidate against Appleby than would Ramsay. The Geran boosters, even in view of the fact that no word has been received from Geran as yet, declare that they are confident he will be the candidate and are ready to place his petitions in circulation as soon as he gives the word. They main tain that no matter how many can didates enter the race,. Geran will lead them all and that’if nominated a fight such as the third congres sional district has never witnessed will be put up for his election. Since Mayor Hague of Jersey City declared that Edwards and Silver will carry both Hudson and Essex counties by large majorities, it is be lieved by Democrats in this city, that the main fight of the entire cam paign will be centered in the third congressional district. Anderson Petitions Out NEW RRENSWIOK. July 27.— George W. Anderson, of Metuchen, has his petitions in circulation to day. Mr. Anderson has been widely spoken of as a probable candidate for the assembly. YOUNG GIRL IS FREED ON CHARGE OF MURDER MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 27.— Mildred Bruer, sixteen :.nd a half year old girl, descendent of a dis tinguished family of Alabama, is to day at liberty in custody of her mo ther, having been freed at a trial yesterday before Judge Lee Hollo way in juvenile court of a charge of killing Portis McKeithen, husband of the girl’s cousin. MJss Bruer is under orders to re port with her mother every week to juvenile court of Montgomery coun ty. According to information divulged by Temple Seibels’ county solicitor, Miss Brauer, testified that McKeit hen was killed by his own revolver. She told of a love affair between herself and McKeithen. When they met in a lonely clump of woods, she said, he seized her by the waist, drew a revolver and announced he intend ed to kill her and end his own life. She tried to wrest the weapon from him and it was discharged. She could not say which pulled the trig ger of the weapon. PROTECT M’CORmTcK ESTATE AT CHICAGO CHICAGO, July 27.—The threat ened invasion of a nearby sub-divi sion by a bungalow colony has caus ed Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCor mick to plan erection of a sixteen foot wall along the south and south eastern extremeties of her estate. She also has acquired twenty acres adjoining the property. A real estate company lecently divided into lots a plot near the Mc Cormick estate and began an ad vertising campaign. Gannon’s Delegation and City Democratic Club to Brinng Many Guests The Democrats of this city ex pect to turn out more than 600 strong at the Middlesex county day at the Little White House in Sea Girt tomorrow. There will ho two dele gations going from this city, one being under the direction of County Clerk Bernard M. Gannon and the other under the auspices of the City Democratic Club. The City Demo cratic Club was the first to announce that it would take a delegation to the summer capital, and a few days later Gannon announced that the George S. Silzer for Governor Club, of which he is president, would at tend. me uuy democratic uiun delega tion, in touring cars and sedans, will leave at 10 o’clock from in front of the club’s headquarters at the Strand theatre. According to officers of the club today, 300 persons have applied to them for reservations which they have been assured. The Gannon party will leave from City Hall Park at 9:30 o’clock, ir automobiles and buses. According to the announcement given out sev eral days ago, the City Democratic Committee will go with these dele gates. Both parties will arrive al the Little White House in time tc join the review to be held before Governor Edwards. There is no use denying the fact that a split exists in the Democrats in this city, even though everything is considered to be harmonious. The fact that Gannon has seen fit to form an independent party for the jour ney to Sea Girt has become a sub ject of open discussion about the city. It is a matter of public knowledge the several local political bees will buzz at Sea Girt. It is likely that one or more candidates may be boomed for mayor and according to reports today, it is possible the John Kelly may declare himself a candidate for freeholder. Kelly has been considered for this nom ination for some time and it is ex pected that he will make known to morrow his intentions. It is thought that the delegation from Middlesex tomorrow will impress upon Kelly the importance of his becoming a candidate, thus making it impossible for him to refuse to represent them. An interesting feature in connec tion with the delegation going to Sea Girt from this city is the appearance of two advertisements on the first page of the Evening Jews today. One of these invites Democrats to travel with the Gannon party and the other instructs those who would attpnd to accompany the Regular Democrats. According to these ads one may choose for themselves whether they desire to be a “Regu lar" Democrat or the B. M. Gan non kind. South Amboy to bo Represented SOUTH AMBOY, July 27:—To night the Democrats will hold a special meeting at which time plans relative to the delegation from this city to Sea Girt will be discussed.

The mem bers and the friends of the Demo crat Club are asked to present themselves at this meeting that final instructions may be given in time. Act on Debt Funding WASHINGTON.

It was the most cosmo politan audience that has attended the concerts to date. Although the band gave an ex cellent concert there was some com plaint because of the long wait be tween the selections.

Last night was the first time that many out of town persons have been present at the concerts. The streets in the neighborhood of the school were filled with automobiles and other conveyances, which had brought persons from nearby muni cipalities and outlying farms. That the concerts are increasing in pop ularity is shown by the increased at tendance at each concert. About I double the number of persons at i tended the concert last night that were present at the first concert in I the City Hall Park three weeks ago. The band played under ideal con ditions, the platform being protected from the crowd by a policeman and the lights strung under the direction of City Electrician Jay B.

SAY SCALING DOWN DF WAR DEBT IS INEVITABLE WASHINGTON, July 27.—Recog nition that scaling down the war debts is inevitable as a precedent to world prosperity, whlic refusing to take any action toward accomplish ing this, is the attitude of congress. Executive oflicials are silent cn the subject. They are helpless for the present to do anything about it un der the restrictions placed upon them by congress in the provisions of the law creating the refunding commis sion. The senators themselves are none too willing to discuss the thought at any length. Privately they say the country is not educated up to the necessity of clearing away the dead accounts and does not see that they can be made of value in stabilizing European budgets by trading them off for less direct but more substantial concessions to each other. Opposition to the project of writ ing off the uncollectible portion of the debts due this country by the European nations in order to hasten and encourage the settlement of the reparations and make possible the stabilization of the world’s business | takes no heed of the economic logic of the situation.

Strikejt Is Reported Conference With President on Settlement of Strike is Regarded as Certain WASHINGTON. July 27—‘The White House again today became j the center of developments in the j rail strike and the focus of efforts toward peace, President Harding meeting in conference first with T. j DeWitt Cuyler, chairman of the As- ! sociation of Hailway Executvise and j then with the strike leaders headed by B. M. Jewell, who reached Wash ington early in the day from Chi cago. Mr Jewell and his colleagues went into conference with the President at 11 o’clock shortly after Mr. Cuy ler completed an hour and a half discussion of the strike situation with President Harding. Mr. Cuyler said he had presented the viewpoint of the railway man , agement and would remain in I Washington “to await the pleasure I of the President,” but there had I been no developments in the situa I tion. Mr. Cuyler indicated that he j would return to the White House utter the President had discussed the situation with the strike leaders. ' Pressed for an opinion as to | whether seniority was the stumbling J block, he said he had received no S statement from Mr. Jewel! on the j point and could not say whether I that was the position taken by the strikers. [ Hope* for a move toward sraic monI of the railroad strike were re vived today ns leaders on both sides in tho dispute gathered here. Arriving here early in the day after an unannounced departure from Chicago, 13. M. Jewell, head of the striking railway shopmen, and six international presidents of the organizations plan to go to the White House for a conference with President Harding.

His reports all indicate that if there is no prompt settlement of the rail strike the country will be face to face with a disaster within a few weeks, as the rail strike has Inter fered with the movement of coal and without coal the key Industries of the country will soon be helpless while many of the Western States will not be able to thresh their grain, notably Minnesota. Settle ment of the rail strrae is likewise vital to the success of the govern ment's plan to distribute availa ble coal supplies in order to keep essential industries and public util ities In oocration. Word from Baltimore was taken as indicating an early settlement of the strike of rail men. It was to the effect that after lengthy conference between Vice President Galloway of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and representatives of the strikers, a common ground had been reached upon which nil agreement was likely It resulted, it is said, in a prooo sltion which President Willard will submit to the general chairman, the | terms of which are practically sat- ; isfactory to the labor representa lives. The question of seniority, it is stated, is not so difficult on the Baltimore and Ohio, many of the men taken on after the strike was declared having been old men who retained their seniority.
