DUBLIN COUNCIL MAY ABOLISH ALL BRITISH FORMS By Associated Press) DUBLIN, Jan. 30 It appeared tonight that the government had ignored the hoisting of Republican flags on the City Hall at the initial meeting today of the new Municipal Council, made up mostly of Sinn Feiners. Corporation officials say the flags were flown without their authority.

A feature of the Council meeting was its domination by Republicans. The temper of the participants was manifested by angry protests at the town clerk's disqualification of Mrs. Wyse Power, who was elected to the Council, because she insisted on signing the roll of Gaelis. About half the members answered the roll call. A motion by the Irish transport worker, O'Brien, to remove the sword and mace on the ground that they were implements of feudal authority, relics of barbarism and perpetual symbols of servitude raised an awki ward question because acceptance of the motion would mean the repudiation of the traditional authority of the council which rests upon British charters.

METUCHEN MUST PAY HANSEN $360 FOR TRESPASS METUCHEN, Jan. 31 The suit of Abel Hansen against the Borough of Metuchen was tried yesterday at an all day session before Judge Hom-mann in the District Court of Perth Amboy and a jury of eleven men, the full panel of thirty being exhausted by challenges. Thomas Brown represented Mr. Hansen, and Wesley Benner, borough attorney, the borough. The suit was brought for alleged trespass by the borough and its contractor, Edward Burroughs in putting down a sidewalk within the pronerty lines of Mr.

Hansen. Unfortunately for the borough, the Supreme Court in the case when first tried had decided that the old road line as used by the borough was not correct, and this was a handicap that looked difficult to surmount. Yet Mr. Benner labored faithfully and well to overcome the obstacle. Contractor Burroughs had been first included as a co-defendant but hy agreement it was decided to try the borough only.

Counsel for plaintiff opened the case by describing how his client had begun life in this country as a workingman and had been enabled to acquire a fortune and to -urchase what he deserved, the "beautifulest" (Continued on Page Four) TIME EXTENSION GIVEN IN RUTGERS ENDOWMENT FUND The Million Dollar Fund for Rutgers is- not quite: complete but extended -time is given in which to finish the work. If the bequests now being paid in to the college, about $150,000, were counted in, the million dollar mark would be reached today. Mr. Heckscher, however, impressed with the necessity of much larger total addition to endowment very wisely urged that the full fund nroposed be raised without bequests. The General Education Board, also requires this.

This, therefore, has been the effort and the time has been short. Yesterday President Demarest wired Mr. Heckscher, who leaves for Florida today, as follows: "Rutgers men join you in not wishing to count incoming bequests which if counted would complete million dollar fund tomorrow. They undertake to raise amount needed to complete without bequests. They agree with you that the college needs far more.

They wish you happiest possible visit in the south." Mr. Hecksher's wire in response received by President Demare3t last evening was as follows: "My congratulations on your success. Will reserve second lot of one thousand shares Anahma for Itutrers College and will turn it over with the February dividend accruing if you can manage to complete promptly. I trust that Rutgers is only on the threshold of a much brighter financial future." The second $100,000 gift is therefore held available for Rutgers and time is given both by Mr. Heckscher and the General Education Board in which to secure any amount remaining unsubscribed on February 1.

This amount will be assigned to selected men and localities with view to accomplishment at as early date as possible. New Brunswick has responded splendidly to the Rutgers appeal and the extension of time will permit those who have not yet contributed to add their gifts. Every citizen should be represented in the giving. 22 HURT AS R. R.

Judge Hommann has the support of County Clerk B. M- Gannon r.inirni.ai1 er of the county Democracy, and a uumuer ot oiner men prominent in the counsels of the party in Middlesex. The members of the Perth Amboy bar, at a meeting yesterday, adopted a resolutiton favoring Judge Hommann for re-appointment, and supporters of the judge will journey to Trenton Monday evening to urge his re-appointment. It was learned today from a reliable source that Senator Brown is determined to present Mr. Toolan's name to Governor Edwards and as the Senator from each county is generally looked to to suggest candidates for offices to be tilled, this maybe equivalent to an appointment by-Governor Edwards.

Ask Legion Aid For Toolan An appeal to County Chairman Ritchie of the American Legion of Middlesex county for the support of that organization for John E. Toolan of Perth Amboy in his fight for appointment as District Court Judge there In place of Charles C. Hommann, the present incumbent, has been made by friends of the young Perth Amboy lawyer, and they are circulating petitions among the Legion men of the county. While stating that he could not assume to speak for the Legion men of the whole county, and that the attitude taken by the organization would have to be decided by the respective posts, the county chairman declared that in his personal opinion the Legion men should not back Mr. Toolan's candidacy simply on the I ground that he is a soldier.

The support of the Legion is being sought on the ground that the Soldier's Preferment Act requires the (Continued on Page Two) Name Strieker As Defendant In Replevin Suit Prosecutor Joreph E. Strieker is named defendant in an action brought in the District Court for a writ of replevin growing out of the discovery of an alleged automobile "fence" at Sayreville by Chief Detective Richard Peltier. Dr. Clarence J. Pflug, of Brooklyn, is the plaintiff in the action and he seeks to recover an automobile yvhich was found as the result of raids on the alleged "fence." Dr.

Pflug here and identified the machine which had been impounded by Prosecutor Strieker. William Briggs of Sayreville, to whom the machine was sold, disputes the claim of Dr. Pflug and states that he lawfully came into possession of the car. He paid $450 for the machine and later sold it to Charles Timmons, of South Amboy for $550. Detective Ferri David found the car at Timrnons' garage at South Amboy.

Timrnons states that he purchased the car from Briggs and briggs slates that he bought it from McEnneny and Bobbins, yvho conducted the alleged "fence." Dr. Pflug identified the machine as his through at least tyventymarks on the car. The numbers on the engine were tampered with and because the nresent numbers don't compare with those on the State license of Dr. Pflug, Briggs still claims that Dr. Pflug does not own it.

Attorney Horace Barwis has been retained by Dr. Pflug to get possession of the car. Prosecutor Strieker has refused to turn the car over to Dr. Pflug because of the claim raised by Briggs. The case will be tried before Judge Freeman Woodbridge on February 5.

An indictment for carrying concealed weapons was returned against the girl, but the Grand Jury coupled this with a recommendation to the effect that the circumstances such that even if Miss Johnson were found guilty she should be shown extreme leniency. 1 Today she is on her way home to Hartford. to resume, her duties there as a teacher in the public schools, having been released by Judge Daly on probation-after she had entered a plea of non vult on the concealed weapon charge.

Through her counsel, she entered a plea of non vult, and was placed on probation for the full term of three years with the understanding that she leave this locality and not return until after the probation period has ended. In passing sentence upon Miss Johnson, the court extracted the promise that she would not take up her abode in this locality for the next three years, but at the same time, the court stated that it would not prevent her from returning to begin any subsequent litigation or restrain any of her legal rights as a result of Liddle's alleged mistreatment of her Miss Johnson sat within the railing of the court at the side of- her counsel and, with bowed head, heard the pronouncement of the sentence. Her father was in the court room.

Members of the grand jury heard the sentence imposed upon the school teacher, after which they shook hands with her and expressed their sympathy for her. The case against young Liddle was not taken up by the Grand Jury, but it is expected that it will come before that body at its next session, on February 27. Miss Johnson accuses young Liddle of taking advantage of lier under promise of marriage. At the present time he is out on $3,000 bail, furnished by his father.

Attorney Sedam revealed the romance and career of Miss and produced "character" letters from United States Senator Harry S. New and Representative Oscar E.

Teacher for Defectives.

Attorney Sedam's appeal for clemency was full of pathos. He described the accused as one who wished to help others and related in detail her career from the time that she graduated from a High School in Indiana. After graduating from High School, she went to the State Normal School of Indiana and Jater came to New Jersey and graduated from the Vine-land Training School, as she was desirous of becoming a teacher for defective and backward pupils.

A. C. Miller, of Tenafly and New York, had her driving license revoked yesterday by Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Dill at Trenton on complaint filed with the Commissioner by Police Chief George C. Bedford, of. Highland Park.

The commissioner also requested the authorities of New York and Pennsylvania not to issue Mrs. Miller a license for one year. According to the testimony, Mrs. Miller, who is a very wealthy widow, livng in New York during the winter and at Tenafly in the summer, was driving 1 her Packard car through this city, on the evening of November 15. As she 'passed over the Albany street bridge a Middlesex trolley car stopped at the Highland Park end of the bridge to discharge a passenger.

Mrs. Miller, instead of stopping, pulled her car to the left of the trolley car and passed the traffic post on the left and. Officer Bedford, who was at this point doing traffic duty, blew his whistle for her to stop but she refused and he secured the number. A summons was issued by Recorder Larason for her appearance in his court, but she failed to appear. Twice since she had been summoned to but in -each instance she failed, and finally Recorder Larason placed the case before Commissioner Dill.

At yesterday's hearing Mrs. Miller was not present, but was represented by counsel, a Mr. McDermott, of New York, and after hearing the evidence in the case, Commissioner Dill revoked her license after severely lecturing the attorney for- his failure to have Mrs. Miller present.
