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. Children Conclude Bible School Work The children of the Daily Vaca tion Bible school at Market Square Presbyterian Church concluded their four weeks of work in an ex hibition service and party last night in the church chapel.

Trolleymen Rescind Strike When Granted Raise , By Associated Press. Chicago. Aug. 2. Street car service will be resumed to day after a four-day strike of surface and elevated carmen. Re 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. FEDERICK'S GARAGE | DISTRIBUTORS | 1807-09 N.

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. Metz. Taylor, Hawbeeker. Allbright. Engineers for 3rd 126. Firemen for 137, 3rd 126, 2nd 129 3rd 129.

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 celebration to-night over tho down- I fall of communism. Officials here | said the reconstruction of the Hun garian government was expected to improve the situation in Austria, NEWS OF S TOINSTALNEW 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.

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.

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. Col. Frank K. Ross Nearing Home Port George F.
