MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 1930 PRICE THREE CENTS INTEREST ON TAXES RISES $20,000 IN FINANCIAL BUDGET Commissioner Pratt Lays Figure to Increased Borrowing Rate and Delinquency on Payments. IMPROVEMENT NOTE FUND GOES UP $10,000 ('This is the fourth and final article of a series of reviews of the budgets us the various departments for 1930.0 Commissioner Thomas H. Pratt this ascribed the $27,980.25 in morning crease in the budget of the of Revenue and Finance to a rise ment in interest rates on tax notes, increasdelinquency in the payment of ing and increasing amount of taxes, temporary improvement note interest, due to the development program now under way. Tax note interest requirements show a rise of $20,000, and temporary improvement note interest is up $10,000. These jumps, extra $1,000 supplies and expenses, and $400 for license supplies and expenses, are slightly offset by a decrease of $2,979.75 bond interest requirements, and of $40 in the retirement of temporary improvement notes, bringing the net increase of the department's budget to $27,980.25.

The department's total budget is $329,696.26, as against $301,716.02 last In addition to the items in the year. revenue and finance accounts, two mandatory items in the general city budget also reflect the condition that caused the jump in Commissioner Pratt's estimate of expenditures. One is for $29,906.01, under the heading, "appropriation for expenditure of 1928; note interest caused by higher bank rates; investigating arson and emergency excise work and extra work." The other also an expenditure of 1923, "note interest caused by higher bank rates and extra sewer work," $14,261,48. Borrowing Rate Up The city formerly paid percent interest for its money, the commissioner said, until, during 1928, the rate was raised 1 to 6 percent. There was, consequently, a shortage in the amount provided for the payment of that interest.

That accounts for the bulk of the mandatory items mentioned, and, for the $20,000 increase in the allowance for tax. note interest this year. Rather than face another shortage this year, the commissioner based his estimate on the maximum rates, he said. Tax notes serve to finance the city between the start of the new year and the collection of the taxes which support the city. When the collection of taxes is slow, so much more money has to be borrowed to keep things going.

That situation is also partly responsible for the $20,000 increase, the commissioner indicated. Improvements Bring Rise The need for an additional $10,000 for payment of temporary improvement note interest this year, he declared, rises out of the tremendous amount of improvement launched by the city. All its improvements, as the construction of the casino, and Convention hall, and improvements to its boardwalk, and other properties, are originally financed in temporary improvement notes, whose amount naturally pyramids with the start of new projects. That fact also accounts for the lessening of the bond interest requirements for 1930. The regular yearly retirement of bonds automatically reduces that amount, unless there should be new bonds to take the place of the old.

The casino, Convention hall and other projects are not yet on a permanent bond basis, the commissioner explained, and thus, the bond interest for 1930 is decreased $2,979.75, to $140,432, from the 1929 total of 412.33. There is a similar but smaller decrease of $440 in the allowance for three percent retirement of temporary improvement notes. In general, the commissioner pointed, any increases in other departments of the city government, and every new project lauched by the city, are reflected by a rise in his own departmental budget, for the latter care of financing the whole city The estimated expenditures of the department for 1930, as compared to 1929, are allotted as follows: Sinking fund requirements, $10.939.39, same as 1929; bond interest, $140,432.58, down bond retirement, $65,417, same as 1929; temporary improvement note interest, $35,000, up tax note interest, $60,000, up three percent retirement of temporary improvement notes, $5,407.30, down $440; license supplies and expenses, $3,000, up $400; contigent expenses, $2,500, same as 1929: supplies and expenses, $4,000, up $1,000: director's salary, 000, same as 1929.

SPECTATORS ARE BARRED FROM THE COURTROOM NEWARK, Jan. with a battery of 100 state witnesses whose stories may bring shadow of death chair closer, Frank McBrien, the Jersey Kid, went on trial today for the murder of George B.

Lee, a Public Service cashier slain in a hold-up in 1928. With McBrien, who flouts the tatooed motto, "Death before Dishonor" appear, three accomplices, on trial for the same crime. They are Joseph Rado, Victor Giampietro, and Louis Malanga. Among the witnesses who have been summoned to seal his fate, is Mabel Davis, a Philadelphia girl found in his apartment when he was trapped some time ago by police. A desire to save her from harm, he told police, at the time, prompted him to hand over his gun to his captors, with only a weak attempt at an escape.

McBrien, is also accused and indicted by Monmouth County Prosecutor John J. Quinn, as the man who sped the bullets, resulting in the death of George Danielson, 67-year-old Bradley Beach bank messenger. Danielson was slain in a hold-up of a $7,280 payroll being carried by him to the Steiner and Son factory. The crime occurred Aug. 3, of last year.

The alleged driver of the death car in the Steiner job, Robert Tull, of Audubon, will face a trial at Freehold Thursday, on a charge of murder in connection with the slaying. At McBrien's trial, which started today, spectators were barred, and extra guards were placed about the court. That McBrien will probably rot be called to testify against his alleged confederate, Tully, was indicated today by Prosecutor Quinn of Monmouth county, who said that the Jersey Kid's reported (Continued On Page Two) 'FIRE' CRY STARTS PANIC Police Seek Small Boy--Three Overcome.

Chief Byram asserted detectives located one woman who saw the accident and furnished the information that led to Dorman's arrest. He said she positively identified Dorman as the driver of the death car.

The chief declined to reveal the identity of the woman. Chief Byram quoted Dorman as admitting he was one of the men that assisted in carrying the victim into the Gardner hotel, 321 Sewall avenue, near the scene of the accident. He denied, however, according to the police chief, that his car struck her. The police official further quoted Dorman as asserting a large expensive sedan riding directly in front of his own car ran down Mrs. Raphael.

Grove Man Dies of Injuries The second victim of motorists who continued on after the accident was Harry Fetzer, 68, 68 Mt. Tabor way, Ocean Grove, who was mortally injured Saturday night at Lake avenue and Bond street. He died yesterday afternoon in the Monmouth Memorial hospital, Long Branch.

BRITAIN UPHOLDS PACT, ASKS PARIS RETAIN OPEN MIND 1 London Reaffirms Faith In Kellogg Treaty as Disarmament Basis, Sees Danger In Preconceived Stand.

U. S. DELEGATES PROVE GOOD SAILORS IN STORM LONDON, Jan. 13. (A) -A note from the British government to the French, published today, tacitly asked that France not come to the forthcoming London naval conference with a preconceived stand from which it might be difficult to recede.

The note reaffirmed the British expression of faith in the Kellogg antiwar pact as a basis for prospective naval limitation in contrast to the French view that the covenant of the League of Nations should be the basis instead of the Kellogg pact. The British note expressed preference for handling of limitation by classes, types, and categories, rather than on the French thesis of global tonnage. The British gave little encouragement to the French suggestion of a pact of non-aggression and mutual security in the Mediterranean. The note was answer of Premier McDonald's government government to the French communication of Dec. 20, in which various French views with reference to the coming conference were set forth.

Altho London after publication of that note saw no insurmountable obstacles to a naval agreement in its expressions, certain Washington circles regarded it as distinctly clouding in possibility of a fivepower agreement. The British answer concluded with the expression: "His majesty's government notes with particular pleasure the opinion expressed by French government that none of the problems mentioned in the memorandum amount to irremovable obstacles and they share entirely in the confidence felt by the French government that there will be cordial cooperation among the delegations to promote the great aims of the conference, and that success will terminate their labors."

WOULD EXPAND PRISONS, ENLARGE COURT STAFFS WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. (P) -Three days, prohibition, before the President tenth Hoover anniversary today of submitted to congress an array of opinions and recommendations for strengthening enforcement which brought that question into even greater relief than any of the recent controversies that have surrounded it. His message said: In my previous messages I have requested the attention of the congress to the urgent situation which has grown up in the matter of enforcement of federal criminal laws. After exhaustive examination of the subjects, the commission on law observance and enforcement, and the off cials of the department of justice and the treasury department unite in the conclusion that increasing enactment of federal criminal laws over the past 20 years -as to which violation of the prohibition laws comprises rather more than one -half of the total arrests -has finally culminated in a burden upon the courts of a character for which they are ill-designed, and in many cases entirely beyond their capacity.

The result is to delay civil causes, and, of even more importance, the defeats of both justice and law enforcement. Moreover, experience shows division authority, responsibility, and lack of fundamental organization in federal enforcement agencies and offtimes results in effective action. While some sections of the American people may disagree upon the merits of some of the questions involved, every responsible citizen supports the fundamental principle that the law of the land must be enforced. Lists Six Concrete Proposals The development of the facts shows the necessity for certain important and evident administrative reforms in the enforcement and judicial machinery, concrete proposals for which are available from government departments. They are in the main: 1.

Reorganization of the federal court structure so as to give relief from con(Continued on page 12) SIMPLIFIED ACTION ON MINOR CASES SOUGHT Enforcement Probers Would Abolish Indictment and Let U. S. Commissioners Hear Lesser Complaints- -Codified Laws and Tighter Padlock Decrees Advised -Bargain Days' Decried. WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.

(P)---Reserving judgment on its ultimate prohibition conclusions, the enforcement commission--in a preliminary report sent to congress today-recommended that the national prohibition law immediately strengthened in the interest of promoting observance of and respect for all law. "If on no other grounds than to give the law a fair trial," the commission said. "there are obvious and uncontroverted difficulties, pointed out by experience, which may, and, as we think, should be met so as to make enforcement more effective." These difficulties were declared by the Hoover commission to be: Division of enforcement between the treasury and justice departments. Disordered condition of federal legislation involved in enforcement. Would Strengthen Padlocks Possibilities of defeating padlock injunctions by means of concealing ownership of property used for manufacture and sale illicit liquor.

Congestion of petty prosecutions in the federal courts leading to wholesale disposition of accumulated cases under circumstances impairing the dign' ty of and injuring respect for those tribunals. "Without prejudice to any ultimate conclusion," the interest report of said, "we think obpromoting servance of and respect for law, the national prohibition law well be strengthened and its effectiveness increased in these important Must Remember Past Flauntings As to observance, the commission declared that "it is wholly impossible to set off observance of the prohibition act from the large question of the views and habits of the American people with respect to private as to statutes and regulations affecting their conduct. "We must not forget the many historical examples of large-scale public disregard of laws in our past," the report said, adding that "we must bear in mind the Puritan's objection to administration, the Whig tradition of a 'right of the conception of natural rights, classical in our policy, the Democratic tradition of individual participation in sovereignty." 80,000 Arrests In Year Asserting that as to enforcement there were no reliable figures to show the size of the problem, the commission said the reported arrests in the last fiscal year of upwards of 80,000 persons from every part of continental United Statse "Indicates a staggering number of what might be called focal points of infection." Attention was directed that there also were 18,700 miles of boundary and shore lines for the United States "at every point of which infection is possible." The number of smuggling roads from Canada is reported as at least 1,000, it was added. Personnel Is Inadequate "To deal with an enforcement problem of this size and spread," the report continued, "The federal government can draw only on a portion of the personnel of three federal services, whose staffs aggregate about 23,000, "Approximately one of this number is in the investigative section of the prohibition unit. Of the remaining 20,000, only a small proportion of the personnel is available for actual preventive and investigative work.

The remainder is engaged in work far different from prohibition. "These figures speak for themselves. "To adjust the machinery of federal 2 MUNICIPALITIES, CONTRACTOR NAMED IN $150,000 ACCIDENT SUIT Mrs. Vera H. Scholes Brings Action Against Ocean and Deal For Auto Crash Causing Injury.

Ocean township, the Boro of Deal, and Peter De Ponti, a contractor of 243 River avenue, Red Bank, are named defendants in a negligence suit brought by Mrs. Vera N. Scholes of Monmouth road, Oakhurst. Mrs. Scholes, thru her attorney Judge Ward Kremer, of this city, seeks the sum of $50,000 from each defendant, for injuries allegedly sustained when she ran into an obstruction on Roseld avenue, Ocean township.

According to the complaint, the obstruction consisting of a "plank or wooden horse and a quantity of dirt and other debris" was unlighted at 8 o'clock on the night of Oct. 14, the date of the accident.

adv10-13 administration, as it has grown up for other purposes, to this huge problem of enforcement of prohibition is not easy, and will require much further study. Unification, centralization of responsibility, and means of ensuring cooperation between federal and state agencies are things to which we must come, quite apart from the exigencies of enforcement of prohibition, but which, can not be achieved overnight." Defends Secret Hearings Replying to those who have assailed it for a failure to hold public hearings on the prohibition question, the commission reported to President Hoover that it conceived it "to be more useful to make a careful study of the whole question, securing information from the responsible officers of government and from printed reports, as well as from hearings before committees of congress, before embarking upon public hearings." Summing up its four recommendations for legislative enactments, the commission said: think they could not in any wise interfere with any ultimate program which we may have to recommend, and would in the meantime advance observance of the law." Treasury to Keep Permit Control The commission dealt with each of its recommendations separately and with some of them at considerable length. In urging transfer of the prohibition unit from the treasury to the justice department, the report said it Was all anomaly that the cases are investigated and prepared by agencies entirely disconnected with and not answerable to those who are to prosecute them. "If prosecution, the legal side of enforcement, is partitioned between two district agencies," the report said, "the diffused, ill -defined, non-located responsibility is sure in the long run to be an obstacle to efficiency." The commission reported that there must be a careful study of how to separate the work which belongs in the treasury of granting permits and administration of regulations as to the legitimate use of alcohol or liquors. 25 Statutes Involved Pointing out that there are 25 statutes, many enacted before the 18th amendment, to which there is recourse in prohibition enforcement, the commission asserted they were in form disconnected, unwieldly, and in much need of coordination and adjustment to each other.

Consequently it recommended that these statutes be "revised and digested," with a view to making them a unified whole in the form of a simple, better-ordered and hence more workable code. On the question of padlock Injunctions, it was stated that the use of injunction proceedings as a means of enforcing prohibition was so important that the section of the Volstead act dealing with this subject should be 50 amended as to enable the courts to reach unknown claimants to property, non-residents and residents who conceal themselves to evade service of process. "It contains nothing which is not already done in the states generally when private claims to property are collcerned," the commission added. Eliminate Indictments Congestion in the federal courts causing long delays in prosecutions and "bargain days" for accused was declared by the report to have done much to create a feeling in some localities that the law can not be enforced. "If it is possible to deal with this matter adequately with the existing machinery of the federal system, it should be done," the report went on.

"We think such a solution entirely possible and in the right line of progress." Pointing out that the Jones law has expressly recognized a class "casual or slight violations," the commission said a statute authorizing the district attorneys in such cases to prosecute by complaint or information would obviate the long delay, unnecessary expense, and needless keeping in session of grand juries which demanded by the present state of law. In such when so prosecuted. the penalty suggested would be a fine of not more than $500 and imprisonment in jail without hard labor not to exceed six months, or both. "We think also that it would be expedient for congress to define the term or slight violations," the commission said. "Speedy convictions and certain impositions of penalties are important considerations and are more likely to be efficacious than threats of severe punishment rendered negatory by congested dockets overpassing any possibilities of trial in the manner constitutionally appointed for crimes of such magnitude." Suggestion also was made that petty cases be heard before a United States commissioner and a report made to the courts which would pass judgment on the case.

There would be a safeguard that the accused, if found guilty by a commissioner, could demand trial by jury within days.
