ML McFeely Is Quizzed By Case Probers Hoboken Official Grilled About Acquisition of I Personal Wealth While He Was Commissioner Trenton, Sept. 21 Personal wealth of Bernard M. McFeely, director of public safety of Hoboken and Democratic leader of that city, which he admits has Increased from $35,000 to more than $135,000 in, ten years he has been a city commissioner, will be inquired into again by the Case Hudson Probe Committee here Tuesday morning. McFeely or three hours yesterday underwent a grilling by the legislative committee and its counsel, Russell E. Watson of New Brunswick.

Aside from his annual city salary of $4,500, McFeely said his only source of income was derived from "playing the horses." He only made bets a few times in 1927 and won and lost. He could give no estimate of his winnings. He denied he had any interest in the firm of James J. McFeely, which for five years has had a garbage removal contract with Hoboken at a cost of $480,000. A renewal of the contract will be voted by the Hoboken commissioners next week at a cost of $490,000 for the five-year period because the firm is the only bidder.

A brother of the witness is president of the concern and a sister is secretary-treasurer. McFeely admitted he is the political leader, a place voted to him by the Democratic City Committee, as successor to "Barney" Griffin. During 1925 and 1926, as chairman of the city committee McFeely admitted having received $42,000 in campaign contrioutions from well-wishers of the Democratic organi- personal banking accounts, but all was raised and expended In Hoboken, although no record of receipts and disbursements could be produced by the witness. His recollection of how his personal and political fortunes increased was vague at times, much to the chagrin of the committee. McFeely could not remember dates or contributors in numerous instances and in a naive, calm tone dismissed many inquiries propounded by the probers with the answer that he really did not pay much attention to details or had no recollection of incidents which appeared to be so familiar to the committee.

Although embarrassed by the speeches of Morgan F. Larson, Re publican nominee for Governor, that he disapproved of the Case Committee's probe of Hudson County, the six Republican members of the body are planning to go right ahead despite the Larson pronouncement-Senator Case, chairman of the com mittee, when asked to comment on the stand of the Republican nomi nee for Governor, said: "Senator Larson believes all men are honest. I had hopes like that, but they are being dispelled." The committee voted to send a cablegram to Europe requesting Joseph B. Bernstein of the Jersey City Board of Education to return to this country and testify as to alleged payment of moneys by theatrical interests in Jersey City for the privilege of operating shows Sunday. Bernstein is president of the State Theater Corporation of Jersey City.

The committee claimed to have information that Bernstein planned to remain in Europe on a vacation until January next.

CLARK SUICIDE New York, Sept. 21 (UP) Insomnia was blamed today for depression which caused the suicide of Frank A. Clark, 65, until last year general auditor of the Erie Railroad. Several persons saw him Bill Is Unpaid By Westfield Since the town of Westfield bested the Plainfleld-Unlon Water Company in the District Court the other day it has come to light that West-field is one municipality that has not as yet paid its bill for last quarter at the greatly increased rate allowed by decree of the Federal District Court. The Westfield increase amounts to approximately $2,600.

What Westfield is going to do about the bill has not deter mined yet Aside from saying that there was no appropriation to meet the advance, Paul Q. Oliver, attorney, who represented Westfield in the District Court case, declined to be quoted about the matter. He said though that Westfleld's victory in the District Court case was caused by the stand taken by Charles H. Van Doren, former chairman of the finance committee. Mr.

Van Doren declined to approve a bill of $3,299.75 for the second quarter of 1926 and the town paid $2,969.78. The Board of Public Utility Commissioners had directed that bills of the Plainfield-Union Water Company be subject to a discount of ten per cent, owing to allegedly inadequate service. The ten per cent, provision was abrocated July 1 and the company gve its bills for the preceding quarter in accordance with that provision. Some consumers paid under protest and the Board of Public Utility Commissioners later ruled that such payments need not be returned. Bills for the third quarter will be rendered In ten days by the Plainfield-Union Water Company and municipalities will find them even higher.

Bills for the last quarter were at the old rate for one month and the new rate for two months and the forthcoming bills will be at the new rate for three months. In the case of Plainfleld the increase will amount to more than $6,000 over bills at the old rate. Beautiful Hat Boxes Free to all customers tomorrow. May's Style Millinery, 122 Watchung Ave. Adv.

21 Test Flights noses Union Co. Motorists Main Users of Goethals Span, Elizabeth Ferry; 49 of Latter'sTraffic New York, Sept. 21. An "origin and destination" analysis of traffic over the new Arthur Kill bridges between Staten Island and New Jersey by The Port of New York Authority discloses severa. inter esting and significant facts.

The study also included the ferry traffic in the neighborhood of the Goethals Bridge, between Elizabeth N. and Howland Hook, Staten Island, and near the Outerbridge Crossing between Perth Amboy, N. and Tottenville, Staten Island. The survey was conducted on a typical day in midweek. More travel over the Outerbridge Crossing was of Manhattan, Long Island and northerly origin and destination, than was local to Staten Island, but the scales swung in the opposite direction on the Goethals Bridge.

Brooklyn accounted for 12 per cent, of the Outerbridge Crossing traffic. Brooklyn was not without representation of the Goethals Bridge, either, and cars from the rest of Long Island found their way to the two spans also. Incidentally, state and city highway connections with both bridges have been considerably improved since "the analysis of traffic was made. The Essex County percentage of the Goethals Bridge traffic amounted to 27.4 per cent. Union County was responsible for 45.9 per cent.

Monmouth County was third, with 4.9 per and Middlesex County just shaded that figure. Percentages for Union and Essex were even closer on the Elizabeth ferry, although the total number of vehicles, of course, was well under those on the bridge. Union had 47.5 per cent of the ferry travel and Essex, 39.5 per cent. Hudson County was third, with 2.4 per which was somewhat more than the Hudson figure on the bridge. On the Outerbridge Crossing, Monmouth County led with a full third of the travel, more than two points higher than Middlesex County.

On the ferry, Middlesex account ed for a full 49 per cent Union County followed Mon mouth and Middlesex oh the Outer- bridge Crossing with 4.7 per Hudson was third with 3.1 per cent and Essex next with 2.5 per cent Eighty per cent, of the origin and destination jcount for the New York side was credited to Staten Island on the Goethals Bridge and 48 per cent, on the Outerbridge Crossing. The Staten Island ferry per cent almost 93 per cent, at Elizabeth and was lxs than 48 per cent, at Tottenville. Hospital Forced To Rent Home For New Nurses Because of crowded conditions at Muhlenberg Hospital, the authorities there have rented a house at Randolph- road and SMlf ord avenue to house student nurses.

Monmouth is one of three counties which the State taxing authorities calculated should raise their assessments fifteen per but so strong a case was made out by the county officials here, supported by representatives of As-bury Park, Manasquan and Freehold, that the State Board Indicated that it was convinced Monmouth had already met her obligation under the equalization act. The Monmouth officials showed that in the last four years they have Increased their assessments by $60,000,000, and prior to that their per centage of true value was 43 per cent. If they made the 15 per cent, increased tentatively fixed by the state it would advance the increase to $90,000,000 in the four-year period and this the local authorities contended is too much of a drain on the tax districts of the county.

They indirectly criticised Middlesex County, where one city, Perth Amboy, is assessed at only 31 per which is lower than the Monmouth rate four years ago. Under the equalization law the State Tax Board is required to prepare an abstract of the total ratables of the state, as returned by the county boards of taxation and corrected by the state board in accordance with the equalization table, and transmit a certified copy to the Comptroller, upon which he shall apportion the state school and other state taxes based upon the ratables of each county shown in the table. Monmouth yesterday asked that it be permitted to present some slight advance in assessments when they are made up next October for the taxing year of 1929, but not to any such figure of 15 per cent President James Baker, of the State Tax Board, praised the work of the county's tax officials and said it was not the intention of the state board to work any hardship upon the taxpayers of any county. Walker Attacks "Whispering" In Newark Address Newark, Sept 21 (UP) An attack upon the "whispering campaign" against Governor Alfred E. Smith was the chief point in Mayor James J.

Walker's speech here in behalf of the candidacy of the Democratic nominee. Speaking from the same platform which Herbert Hoover occupied Monday night, the New York mayor was cheered by 12,000 persons who crowded into the Armory last night. Walker criticized Hoover for "changing politics," citing the Republican's plea to the voters in 1918 fdr a Democratic Congress. "What's the matter with a Democratic Congress now?" Walker asked his audience. The Mayor mentioned his controversy with Mrs.

Mabel Walker Wil-Iebrandt, assistant to Attorney General Sargent, and attacked prohibir tion. "There is no question in my mind," he said, "that the people of this country are sick and tired of the hypocritical enactment known as the Volstead Act." Floods Interrupt Fla. Rescue Work West Palm Beach, Sept 21 (UP) Rising water from heavy rains had cut off the Everglades section of the hurricane area today, temporarily interrupting the search for bodies. Boats were to go in as soon as- possible. A.

Jju Schaf er, director for the National Red Cross, said he considered the local committee estimate of from 700 to 800 deaths in the county as a "fair one." Many bodies never would be found, he predicted. San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept 21 (UP) While reports on the casualties in the tropical hurricane are yet to be received from more than half of the municipalities, officials here are certain that the death toll will not reach 1,000. They say, however, that the property damage has not been exaggerated and that it will run into millions. There has been no reason for revising the previous estimate that there are 700,000 persons homeless. Now showing the Newest Fall Millinery.

He told his huge audience last night, gathered inside and outside the Coliseum that hereafter he would turn his attention to national issues. The Democratic candidate and his party leave here at 11 o'clock for Denver, where Smith will make the third speech of his campaign. Meanwhile Democratic and Republican leaders here set about measuring the effect of Smith's denunciation of the whispering campaign as "treasonable" and "un-American" upon the political complexion of this atate November. Democrats claimed it enhanced his chances greatly in this state. Some went so far as to say it would mean his victory here.

They said his boldness in bringing the Issue into the open would clear the atmosphere. Speech Well Received Smith's speech was well received. It was interrupted repeatedly by cheering. His first mention of the Ku Klux Klan, which once dominated Oklahoma politics and figured in the impeachment of former Governor "Jack" Walton, anti-Klan leader, was received with silence, but later the crowd cheered him as he denounced the organization. Walton sat on the platform.

Dr. John Roach Straton, Calvary Baptist minister of New York City, who is campaigning in this state against Smith, also was on the platform. With his wife, he listened quietly to Smith's speech. He will speak in the Coliseum tonight. Launching into a discussion of the religious issue, in connection with his broadside against the whispering campaign, the Governor declared that "If any Catholic In this country believes that the welfare, the well-being, the prosperity, the growth and the expansion of the United States Is best conserved and best promoted by the election of Hoover, I want him to vote for Hoover and not for me." "But, on the other hand," he con- IV11! I have the right to say that any citizen of this country who believes I can promote its well-being, that I am capable of steering the Ship of State safely through the next four years and then votes against me because of my religion is not a real, pure, genuine American.

The "whispering campaign," (Please turn to page nineteen). Hoover To Ignore Smith's Attacks On His Platform Washington, Sept. 21 (UP) Herbert Hoover intends to take no recognition personally of the attacks made upon his campaign by Gov. Alfred E. Smith in his Western tour, the United, Press was informed today.

The' answers which will be mads to Smith will be delivered by the important Republican orators and by Chairman Hubert Work of the National Committee. Hoover will continue with the quiet plan of campaign he already has marked out for himself, no matter what Smith says, according to the announcement. Hoover has been conducting his campaign as if Smith did not exist. He has never mentioned Smith's name and has referred to the Democratic party only in general terms, never directly levying an attack upon either the opposing candidate or the party.
