ffl MM 'm ifk LA Warren Tells-Rumson Democrats Assembly and Freeholder Nominees Should Support Project. COMMITTEE NAMED FOR UNEMPLOYMENT (Special to The Prml RUMSON, Oct. 3. Virtually the entire list of county Democratic candidates and leaders last night attended the organization meeting of a Woman's Democratic club to. work in conjunction with the Rumson Democratic club.

Mrs. Katherine Brenner was elected temporary chairman and organization effected. In addition to hearing brief addresses by candidates and workers, the, group appointed an unemployment committee, which will suggest, among other measures, that all county and boro work be distributed among local unemployed. Among those who were heard by thi gathering were William Sutphin, of Matawan, congressional candidate, George Martin, Asbury Park, and Frank Howland, Long Branch, freeholder candidates, Thomas W. Warren, Interlak-en, assemblymanlc candidate, Mrs.

Charlotte Robertson, president and Mrs. Madeline Clancy, secretary of the Monmouth County Woman's Democratic club, Mrs. R. D. Lawrence, county com-mltteewoman, and several others.

Cities Electrification Benefits Railroad electrification was the principal topic touched upon by Warren. He urged Democratic candidates for the assembly and the board of freeholders to get squarely behind a move to help the New York and Long Branch railroad electrify its line from New York to Point Pleasant. Electrification of the road Is one of the prime needs of the county, he said, calling attention to the fact that the modernized its North Jersey lines in that way. Such an up-to-date policy will result in great advantages to the North Jersey resorts, Warren predicted. Citing the advantages accredited to electric transportation, Mr.

Warren declared that in the event that legislation was required he would be in favor of all practical and fair legislation designed to further the improvement. He stressed the importance of the project to the shore stating that if the North Jersey railroads continued to electrify their lines and Monmouth county were denied that type of service, there would sooner or later bs a great discrimination against the resorts of this section. He also advocated electrification of the Central railroad lines from Matawan to Freehold, and from Matawan to Highlands, Keansburg, Atlantic Highlands, Sea Bright and Long Branch. Charles F. Brlggs, president of the Rumson clifb, presided at the meeting.

Beside the speakers named above, brief addresses were also made by Professor Harry Mountz of Spring Lake, and ty the three Democratic candidates for Rumson boro council posts: D. K. Byrne, J. G. McNair, and Frank A.

Pfeiffenberger. Frank Garrlel, Long Branch worker also spoke briefly. FORBID CONDEMNATION Public Utility Commission Turns Down Power Company Request. TRENTON, Oct. 3.

CP) Six Tam many district leaders were presumably consulting their lawyers today regarding Mayor Walker's order that they sign waivers of immunity and testify before the grand jury investigating charges of judicial office buying, but at noon Special Prosecutor Todd had heard from none of them. While he wailed until 4 o'clock this afternoon the time by which they must "talk or get out" by the mayor's order Mr. Todd obtained the consent of District Attorney Crain to continue the ordinary grand jury until Nov. 10. He wanted this, he explained, "out of an abundance of caution," to assure the existence of a body to which his special grand Jury might present evidence In case Governor Roosevelt does not extend the scope of the latter beyond the charges that former Magistrate Ewald paid $10,000 for his appointment to the bench.

Acting District Attorney Robert E. Manley said today he had no knowl edge of reports that federal investiga tors were examining bank records of City Magistrate Hulon Capshaw, as reported today by the New York World. Counsel for Magistrate Capshaw denied the truth of the story, which was carried by the Associated Press attributed to the World. Hiram C. Todd, special prosecutor before the grand jury investigating charges of office Buying against former Magistrate George F.

Ewald, refused to make any comment about the reports. Special Prosecutor Todd waited yes terday until 5 o'clock, the first dead line, then said he had not had even a telephone call from any of them. The mayor, however, announced that because yesterday was a Jewish holU doy, he had extended the limit of his order by 24 hours. Only one of the six Tammany leaders is of the Jewish faith, but the mayor explained that the (Continued on Page Two) COURT TO PRODUCE DAVIS CASE RECORDS Supreme Court Justice Gummere Re quests Judge Gallagher to Turn Over Documents.

IfflHjpWER Communists Met With Smoke Barrage and Swinging Nightsticks at Cleveland. MOUNTED OFFICERS FELL REDS ADVANCING ON HALL CLEVELAND, Oct. 3.

(P) Charges of mounted policemen and swinging nightsticks broke up an impromptu parade of Communists and unemployed near the Public hall where President Hoover was adresslng the American Bankers association convention last night. When the paraders, variously estimated at between 600 and 800, attempted to turn toward the Public hall, motorcycle officers laid down a smoke screen and mounted police charged, driving the marchers off the street and sending them dashing for doorways and alleys. Several men were knocked down, a detective was beaten by a parader, one reporter received cuts and cruises that necessitated hospital treatment, another reporter was inadvertently struck with a night stick wielded by a policeman, and spectators said scores were clubbed by police. Three store windows were smashed during melea Qiirl fnwr men were ar- rested for investigation. Red Orator Starts Parade The parade had formed in the Public square, a few blocks away from the scene of the disorder, after Tom Johnson, a Communist orator, and others exhorted the throng to march to the Public hall and protest against unemployment.

Acting Chief of Police George J. Mat- owitz instructed Captain John Savage, in charge of the escorting mounted police, to permit the parade so long as there was no violence. The marchers, singing the "Interna tionale" and other were forced by a line of police which surrounded the hall to turn down St. Clair ave nue. After they had marched two blocks beyond the hall, many of them tried to turn back and the smoke screen was laid down, leading some, including firemen on traffic duty, to believe tear bombs had been hurled.

Soon there were cries of "fight" and the police charged. Some used' sticks to which Communistic placards were attached in an effort to fight back, but were disarmed, police said. The disorder was short lived and those listening to Mr. Hoover were unaware of the trouble. Captain Savage insisted there was no police violence and that he halted the parade because it became a traffic menace.

adv232-33' AT BACK National League Team Con-f vinced of Success on St. Louis Diamond After Losing Two Straight. MHLETICS FORCE RHEM FROM BOX. WINNING 6-1 ST. LOUIS, Oct.

3. (JO Several hun-ared faithful fans were on hand but little enthusiasm was displayed when St. Louis Cardinals arrived at Union itation shortly before noon today in their special train, from Philadelphia ifter losing the first two world's series lames to the Athletics. There were occasional cheers and tome hand-clapping as the players made their way thru the midway, but both players and spectators appeared dejected and had little to say. A fife and drum corps played while the players got Into taxicabs and left for their hotels.

Hope For Better Luck At Home ENROUTE FROM PHILADELPHIA IO ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3 (P). Confident (mat a change in environment will help them, the St. Louis Cardinals speeded westward today to resume their World's Series quarrel with the Philadelphia Athletics at Sportsman's park, St.

Louis, tomorrow. The Athletics, transformed by the chedule from the home club to that of their visitors, also went west, but the American league team can do no better in the National league city than they did at home. If they do as well the series will be over Sunday. The world's champions made it two in a low at Shlbe park yesterday by giving Big George Earnshaw an early lead, six runs in four Innings in clusters of twos, then suspending their hitting and scor tag activities. As the big Swarthmore hurler was in excellent form, any one of the two run innings would have been tnough to win.

The only Cardinal run was home run over the right field by George Watkins, who plays right field for the Cards when the opposi tion sends in a righthander to pitch. Altho they never were "in the ball nine" in the second contest of the series, the National leaguers showed no disposition to give up the baseball ghost and their supporters did not hesi tate to say that once at their own homes and firesides they would give a good account of themselves. In the first two games Manager Connie Mack led his two aces and each took tricks. Bob Grove's victory In the opener was followed by an even more Impressive pitching performance by his colleague, Earnshaw, in the second. Running true to his schedule map ped out in advance, Manager Gabby Street sent Flint Rhem In to pitch the second game.

'RIDE' THEORY ADVANCED IN SCOBEYVILLE-FATALITY Aided by the state's new teletype alarm system, state police and county detectives were today seeking a Dodge touring car with battered right mud guard and headlamp, which is believ ed to have caused the death of James Hamilton, 35, on the Freehold-Tinton Falls road at Scobeyville last night. Altho Hamilton's injuries, when he arrived at the Riverview hospital, Bank, early last evening, were thought to include only a fractured leg, cuts about the face, and he unexpectedly died In a convulsion at 3.50 this morning. After an autopsy in Mount's funeral parlors.

Red Bank, County Physician H. W. Hartman Issued a certificate to the effect that death was caused by a fracture of the skull over the left eye. "Bide" Hinted First The first opinion of detectives, who learned of the case when Hamilton was rushed into Eatontown in a car which was unidentified at the time, was that he was the victim of a "ride." In the flurry of transferring the injured man to the Eatontown ambulance for the remainder of the trip to Red Bank, the driver of the car which brought him to the boro was momentarily lost sight of. Later, however, police relocated the driver, who said he was Milton M.

Carr, of Jamesburg. On the strength of his story of seeing a touring car flash past him, and of discovering the body lying by the side of the road a little farther on, tAe theory that Hamilton was a hit and-run victim was given consideration. Police however declared today as they continued their search for the car described by Carr, that they were not wholly satisfied that Hamilton was ac cidentally struck by a passing car. They planned to quizz Carr further today and to look into Hamilton's activities Hamilton, whose sister and tw brothers were summoned from 5835 Belmont Terrace, West Philadelphia, was a mason, they said, and had been employed on state hospital being constructed at Scobeyville.

(President Hoover returned to Washington today from Cleveland, where he addressed the American Banks' asocla-tion last night. The trip to Cleveland completed the first leg of a swing thru the Mid-West, East and South, during which the president will speak In three states. He will remain here until Sunday night, when he leaves for Boston for two speeches Monday, one before the American Legion and the other before the American Federation of Labor. Immediately after the second speech he will go to Kings Mountain battlefield. South Carolina for the fourth address Tuesday afternoon.

Hoover Takes Issue With Critic HOOVER SPECIAL TRAIN, enroute to Washington, Oct 3. (A) President Hoover was on record today as taking sharp issue with both critics of his administration who, he says, dwell only on the "unhappy features" of the current business depression, and those who believe American standards Of living should be lowered. Personally replying to opposition campaign declarations for the first time, Mr. Hoover asserted before the American Bankers association in Cleveland last night there were "several folks In the political world who resent the no-; tion that things will ever get better' and who wish to enjoy our temporary misery." To relate to these critics that the gov. ernment is cooperating with the peopla to improve conditions and that thi United States economic suffering is far less than that In other countries, ht said, only "inspires the unkind retort that we should fix our gaze solely upon the unhappy features of the decline." Just before going to the auditorium to deliver his speech the president mad a last-minute addition to his text hi which he took vigorous exception to te-marks of a banker delegate who wa qloted as saying American living stan-, dards should be on a lower plane.

"To that I emphatically president asserted amid applause, and added: "any retreat from our American philosophy of constantly In- -creasing standards of living becomes a retreat into perpetual unemployment' and the acceptance of a cesspool of, poverty for some large part of our people." The auditorium, scene of great cal gatherings in the past, was filled during the president's 35-minute address. Its seating capacity is estimated at something over 10,000. Addi-i tional hundreds heard the speech thru amplifiers In an adjoining hall, white I millions of radio listeners caught It from nation-wide broadcasting chains. A group of self-styled demonstrators, carrying marched from the Public square to the! auditorium during the speech, but they were quickly dispersed by police. Immediately after the speech, th president boarded his special to maka the return trip to Washington.

He waa due there In the early forenoon. Expresses Confidence In Future Expressions of confidence in the coun try's future prefaced the president' discussion of the problem of imradlat recovery and that of "long-view business stability." "There are a few folks In business and several folks in the political world," he said, "who resent the no tion that things will ever get better and who wish to enjoy our temporary misery. Ta recount to these persons the pro. gress of cooperation between the peopl and the government in amelioration of this situation, or to mention that wa are suffering far less than other countries, or that savings are piling up 5n the banks', or that our people are pay ing off installments purchases, that abundant capital is now pressing for new ventures and employment, only Inspires the unkind retort that should fix our gaze solely upon the un happy features of the decline. And, above all, to chide the pessimism of persons who have assumed the end of thost mighty forces which for 150 years hav driven this land further and further toward that great human goal the abolition of intellectual and economic poy erty is perhaps not a sympathetic approach.

"Nevertheless, I always have been, and I remain, an unquenchable believer ii the resistless, dynamic power of American enterprise. Thl3 is no time an audience of American leaders of business Is no place to talk of any surrender." Mr. Hoover said Inquiry might develop that the present capital gains tat encourages inflation by strangling th free movement of land and securities, (Continued on Page Two) Horschide Leather Wind Breaker And coats, for men and bovs. Al ladies' and children's coats and jackets.

O'Brien, Freehold, dismissed,) him because he desired to be excused from services in order to observe the Jewish holidays last week were made today by Irwin B. Cohen, former court officer. Cohen, who has been a member of the Republican county committee for the past five years, quoted O'Brien as asserting, "If you're not in, I'll get somebody else to take your place." According to Cohen, another man whose name he did not know has been appointed in his place. "I went to the sheriff the day before the holiday and asked he let me off for the two-days and explained to him it was absolutely necessary I attend religi.us services because of the official connections I have with the Congregation Sons of Israel "He told me that I would have to be in or be discharged." At his home at 1027 Mattison avenue the former court officer also disclosed how he pleaded with O'Brien and at one point when he mentioned he would see Common Pleas Judge Harry A. Truax to intercede for him that the sheriff Is said to have replied, "Judge Truax has nothing to do with this.

I'm your boss and rke the appointments. "I saw O'Brien three times that day and each occasion he refused me and finally he told me, 'you're Cohen added. Tells of Campaign Work "My dismissal was entirely unfair. O'Brien appointed me to the post after he was elected last fall.

i Cohen said the sheriff desired he crystalize Jewish sentiment in the lat- ter's favor "It was impossible to go with O'Brien the three times I missed because of some Important personal affairs I had to attend to. The sheriff would call at my house every evening about o'clock during his campaign and would be out with him many times until 2 and 3 a. Cohen continued. "In addition to stumping with him I supervised the mailing of 70,000 letters containing sketches of O'Brien's life and his political career."
