HOLD BRIDE AS
CHIEF WITNESS
IN MURDER CASE
Police Believe That Shaw Was
Killed in Swift
Vengeance
New York, Aug. 2. Swift ven
geance for the killing of a gang
leader, after the fashion of the feuds
which made New York's East Side
notorious, some years ago, is the
verdict of the police after an in
vestigation into the shooting affray
In Hoboken last night which resulted
In the death of Robert "Rubber"
Shaw and the serious wounding of
George Lewis.
* The story, pieced together by the
police of New York and Hoboken,
begins with the shooting down of
"Tanner" Smith while playing poker
in a resort known as the Marginal
Club In this city Saturday night.
"Tanner" was the leader of the
"Irish Paddy" gang which once held
sway in Greenwich village but the
gang was supposed to have been
dispersed and their chief was said
to have reformed. The police claim
that three men were hired to "get"
Smith, his death having been plan
ned as the upshot of a dispute be
tween rival contractors engaged in
the handling of beef.
The names of tho men who
killed Smith were an open secret
4 throughout gangland, the police say.
and a general alarm was sent out
for the arrest of "Rubber" Shaw.
* The vengeance of the gang was
swifter than the pursuit of the po
lice, however. Last night, as Shaw
and Lewis were standing on a Ho
boken street corner an automobile
carrying five men whirled to the
sidewalk, there was a fusillade of
shots and when the smoke cleared
away Shaw was lying dead with two
bullets through his breast. Lewis
was lying beside him seriously
wounded and the automobile had
disappeared.
The principal witness upon whom
the police rely for the substantiation
. of their story is the nineteen-year
old widowed bride of Shaw. The
girl, who is being held as a material
witness, says she was married to the
dead man on Monday.

, By Associated Press.
Chicago. Aug. 2. Street car

sumption of traffic soon followed
the announcement that the men had
voted to rescind the strike order
and to accept the wage schedule of
65 cents an hour fir surface and 67
for the elevated employes agreed
on last Monday by the heads of the
unions and the companies.
Hearings were begun to-dav by
the State Public Utilities Commis
sion to determine what raise in fare
will be necessary to pay the 17 cents
an hour increase in wages given to
the men. It is said a seven-cent
1 fare on surface lines and an eight
cent fare on elevated roads will be
granted by the commission. In ad
/ dition a one-cent charge for trans
l fers may be authorized. The em
ployes originally demanded a wage
of 85 cents an hour.
Use McNeil's Pain Exterminalor--Ad
I RAYFIELD CARBURETORS 1
The engine fuel that is now called gasoline is really a j
t kind of kerosene. But your engine is a gasoline engine, j
| Gasoline of the old kind the kind that automobile en- 1
| gines are intended to burn can no longer be obtained ex- j
! cept at drug stores. Your engine cannot start easily; it 3
| develops knocks; it carbonizes quickly; it does not dc- j
! liver all the powers that you expect of it.
t , j
1 here is only one way to meet the situation, and that is j
to build a carburetor to use the fuels of today. That is j
exactly what the RAYFIELD CARBURETOR ENGI
NEERS HAVE DONE.
In the first place they studied engines and fuels. They 3
| discovered that some of the so-called gasoline is not con- 1
| sumed at all. It is so heavy that it is not vaporized. It j
I is swept in drops into the manifold and engine, and these 3
I drops collect in the Crank Case and "cut" the lubricating j
i oil. That means scored Cylinders, cut "bearings," j
| "knocks" and heavy repair bills.

HAMMERSTEIN
DIES IN HOSPITAL
Famous Opera Producer Did
Not Regain Con
" sciousness
New York, Aug. 2. —• Oscar Ham
merstein, theater builder and pro
ducer of grand opera, died in a
hospital here last night of a compli
cation of diseases, after an illness
of several days.
Mr. Hammerstein had been In a
state of coma since late Monday, and
died without regaining conscious
ness. His wife and son, Arthur
were at his bedside when the end
came at 7.35 o'clock.
Oscar Hammerstein's chief claim
to fame as an impresario and the
atrical manager, it has been said,
will rest In the fact that he set
new records for presenting grand
operas of composers never before
heard in America, and that he intro
duced to the western musical world,
singers who afterward won great
names for themselves.
Mr. Hammerstein was born in
Berlin, Germany, in 1547 and came
to the United States in 1863, as he
later wrote, "to be free." His fath
er, an austere man, Oscar said,
tyrannized his family and the boy
ran away from home. Arrived m
New York he became a cigarmaker's
apprentice, learned the trade, and
subsequently started a tobacco trade
vvhich proved successful.
"I'm a curious man." Mr. Ham
merstein once said to a friend. 'I
live on'y for to-morrow. I don't
drink, I have never played a game
!of cards in my life. When I find
I have no money in my pocket I go
to the box office and draw three
dollars and it lasts me so long that
it really makes me feel ashamed of
myself. But I have made and lost
a lot of money. I couldn't possible
tell you how many fortunes I have
amassed and spent in the past 35
years.

SOCIALISTS OUST
BELA PEACE
(Continued From First Page)
recognize the new government and
treat for peace.
The new Hungarian cabinet is
presided over by Jules Peidll, who
was formerly minister of the people's
welfare in the Count Karolyi cab
inet. The cabinet contains provis
ionally many members of former
Bela Kun ministry.
New Cabinet
The new cabinet is made up as
follows:
Premier, Jules Peidll; Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Peter Agoston; War,
Joseph Haubrich; Justice, Paul Gar
ami; Welfare, Alexander Garbai;
Commerce, M. Dovohak; Education,
Stephean Szabo; Home Affairs. Karl
Payer; Agriculture, Joseph Takao;
Finance, Joseph Miskios; Food, M.
Knittelhofer.
Premier Peidll, is said by those
who know him, to be a courageous
man of simple habits. He has been
a typographer, an editor and a
model worker.
Minister of War Haubrich. form
erly was chief of police at Budapest
and is reputed to be an anti-Com
munist.
Minister of Justice Garami and
Minister of Education Szabo were in
the Karolyi cabinet.
Persons in touch with the situ
ation at Budapest said it was their
understanding that the members of
the Kun ministery holding over un
der the reconstruction were doing so
in order to have themselves and
their supporters and they probably
would not remain in office long.
The crisis in the situation at
Budapest was said to have been due
to the combined effect of the Allied
note issued at Paris last Sunday,
warning the Hungarians they must
set up a truly representative gov
ernment, and the successful advance
of the Rumanian army.
The Soviet military forces were
said to have been reduced to 40,000
unwilling soldiers who lacked ani
mation and who were harrassed by
the guerilla warfare of peasants.
This force was said to have been
thoroughly defeated early to-day.
The Hungarians were said to have
surrendered or fled when a Ruman
ian division crossed the Theiss river.
The Rumanians crossed the Theiss
at Tissa-Fured. They also took
Szolnok, cutting the Budapest rail
way.
Stragglers from the Soviet army,
reaching Budapest afoot and in au
tomobiles from the news of the
Rumanian advance. They said the
enemy were only 25 miles from the
capital.
Hungarian refugees here held a

NEWS OF S

5,000 H. P. MOTOR
Schwab Authorize* Big Im
provement For Local
Steel Plant
A contract was placed yesterday
with the Westinghouse Manufactur
ing and Electrical Company for a
5,000 horse-power motor by the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation, according to
a statement made by local officials of
the plant. The motor is to be in
stalled in the 41-inch bloomer mill,
which mill is now under steam power.
The motor is one of the largest ever
built for the purpose by the West
inghouse people. It will make the
mill the most modern of its kind in
existence, and will be the last word
in bloomer mill equipment. More than
six months will be required for the
building and delivery of the motor.
It Is doubtful whether the motor can
be installed before the first of Feb
ruary. Vice-President Quincy Bent
was in the borough yesterday- and
made a tour of the plant.
Engagement Announced
at Pretty Dinner
The Rev. and Mrs. Joseph Paugherty
entertained at the Centenary U. B.
parsonage, 232 South Second street,
a happy group of young women con
sisting of their daughter Mary's Sun
day School class, members of the Ot
terbein Guild and members of the
church choir, with all of whom Miss
I Paugherty has been closely associ
! ated in church work. A very pleas-
I ant evening of progressive games,
I music and recitations was enjoyed.
The rooms were very beautifully
; decorated with branches and summer
flowers, yellow and brown being the
predominating colors, which colors
I were also carried out in the luncheon.
After the refreshments were served
the young folks were invited to an
adjoining room where there were
robins hidden away in the branches
of a tree. Each guest upon catching
a robin had revealed to them the
secret that the wedding of Miss Mary
|L. Daugherty to Rev. Rufus H. Le
fever, of York, will be an event of
this month. The bride-to-be received
many congratulations and a general
good time followed.
Dr. J. A. Sterrett Takes

Dr. J. Albert Sterrett. of Dover,
Del., has been called to the pastorate
! of Monumental A.M.E. Church to sue*
I ceed the late Rev. Francis
Mr. Sterrett comes to the Monumental
| Church well recommended and highly
spoken of by the Delaware News As
sociation.
Already the church is assuming a
busy aspect and the members are in
effort to give loyal support to the
plans of their new pastor. A street
carnival has been planned for the
week of August 10. The choir leader,
Prof. Stripland. is busy rehearsing
choir members to make attractive the
Sunday services.
On Sunday Dr. Sterrett will preach

vice the Lord's Supper will be cele
brated and during the evening service
the pastor will preach to the men of

"My Christian Experience."
Second Street Paving
Badly Spoiled by Tractor
Although there are sign boards con
spicuously along Second street, warn
ing drivers of tractors to keep off
paved streets, the paving on Second
street bears the deep marks of the
wheels of a tractor. Residents of
the street and motorists are indig
nant over the matter. The street was
not any too good, and to have it
spoiled further has raised the anger
of many. If the driver of the tractor
can be discovered it is quite likely
that an arrest will follow.

PLAN TO DEVELOP
UPPER PINE ST.
Many Modern Residences Be
ing Planned; Water to
Be Supplied
Upper Pine street Is to have water
facilities for building if the plans
to be proposed to Council on Mon
day evening will meet with the ap
proval of that body. Chairmen of
committees of council, members of
the water board and other borough
officials held a meeting last evening
on the grounds to consider means
of getting water pipes Into Pine
above Heading street. The force
main now runs from the reservoir
through Kelker's woods. It is pro
posed to have a main meet it at a
point about 500 feet west of the
reservoir, the new main to run
down Pine street and meet the old
main at the corner of Reading and
Pine.
Cost estimates are being prepared
by the borough engineer and the
superintendent of the water depart
ment and will be presented to coun
cil on Monday evening. Should
building operations be undertaken
before the new main is laid tem
porary pipes will be run for the
convenience of building. Several
months ago council authorized the
laying of water pipes in Pine street
as soon as six building permits were
issued. Six or more buildings will
probably be erected in a very short
time. The Kelker estate reports
that it has sold for building pur
poses about 500 feet in Pine street
above Columbia. This is out of the
borough limits. As large a tract
has been sold in Pine street between
J Columbia and Reading streets. This
latter section is in the borough limits
and will probably be built up first.

WEARINESS
UNDERMINES
KOLCHAKARMY
Little Hope Remains For Re
gaining Lost Ter
ritory ,
Paris, Aug. 2. The ail-Russian
government of Admiral Kolchak Is pre
paring to move from Omsk to Irkutsk,
Siberia, and the morale of the Kol
chak army is becoming so bad that
there is little hope of it regaining the
territory recently lost to the Bolshe
vikl, according to dispatches received
in Paris.
The dispatches indicate that general
weariness, rather than Bolshevism,
is weakening the Kolchak forces. The
Czecho-Slovak troops, which were the
backbone of the army of Admiral Kol
chak, have shared the general demoral
ization and most of them Insist on re
turning to their newly established coun
try, refusing to fight longer in Rus
sia.
Recently a "green" army of consid
erable dimensions, was organized in
Siberia as well as in European Russia.
This army was recruited from both
Red and White armies and pledges it
self not to tight any more, saying the
World War was over. It is attracting
many men from the Bolshevik as well
as the anti-Bolshevik forces, its mis
sionaries spreading as far west as the
Pskov front.

Economical Owners Drive
An OAKLAND
There are a large number of Oakland Owners driving their
car day in and day out, who are entirely satisfied with its
performance. They are people who can readily afford a
car of SSOO to SI,OOO more initial cost, too.
But they prefer the Oakland because of its economy in
operation —■' gasoline, tires, oil, etc., and because it rides
and drives just as comfortable and easy as the much heavier
and higher priced cars.
