Fivt bids were by the board of freeholders yesterday for the reconstruction of the second section ot the Al- lentown-Ked Valley road, 2 39. miles, of gravel on a slag base, but because of an irregularity in the low bid, this accompanying check not being for the amount required, all bids were rejected and bids ordered rcadvertised. to be received June 6. The bids ranged from $59,829.66, submitted by Ross Whalen, Jnc, of Trenton, to $40,596.50, submitted to tha Hafeman, company of Freehold. Wr.

No one appeared to protest because everyone familiar with the situation is highly pleased. The boro of Scabright, in a formal resolution forwarded to the board, consented to the exchange a resolution by Harry G.

Borden and adopted by the board, ordered the work to proceed. William M. Bergen suggested that some action should be taken to prevent damage to county bridges thru ponds being permitted to carry too much water. He said that this week he viewed a pond where the water was several inches higher than the bulkhead; that this had heretofore resulted in dams giving way and causing extensive damage to bridges, and on his motion the counsel, Sena tor Wiliam A. Stevens, was directed to take the matter up with the board of conservation and development and edeavor to have that board our Monmouth, the members of the county hord to view the situation and to take action to abate the danger.

The contract for the furnishing of slag for use on county roads during the year was awarded to the Emanuel Slag company, the lowest of several bidders who submitted, estimates some weeks ago. Tha award was made, however, after a representative had been warned that unless the company lived pto the letter of the con tract their goods would not be re ceived and the contract would be terminated. Harry G. Borden, of tre road committee, voted against the award. The trouble arose over a re-centshipment of slag which was not of a size ordered and which the free- whlch the representative sought to make an adjustment.

Mr. Borden said that there would be no adjust-ments; that the slag must be as ordered or turned back to the company. nergen, chairman of the finance committee, reported having bills in the reserve account bmaunt to 14.268.45; current bills to a total of $38,074.25. nnd special accounts aggregating $43,735.50, and after a read ing of same, they were ordered paid'.

Striking workmen, said to be Communists, are holding Geisenkirehen where bitter fighting occurred yesterday with heavy casualties to the forces of both the police and the strikers, according to information reaching here today. The Geisenkirehen civilian defense force and the fire brigade are said to have been driven from the city last evening and there is no force available for police duty, Th advices say that it is impossible to give a correct estimate of the number of casualties. The Communists took possession of police headquarters, smashed everything in the building and then fired it.

Head For Action. Against Sunday Movies. PASSAIC, May 24. City Commissioner John J. Roegner, director of finance, today formally demanded that Commissioner Abram Prelskel, director of public safety, rid the city of Passaic of bootleggers and close -all moving picture houses on Sunday.

Commissioner Roegner's demand came after a stormy session of the newly elected city commission last night. Confirmation of a number of appointments by Roegner in the department of finance was withheld as a result ot opposition on the part of the other commissioners. Roegner dismissed three members' of the board ot assessors and replaced them with his own appointees. When criticized for this action, Director Roegner declared he Intended to run his department "to suit myself" and Preiskel replied he intended to "butt into all departments," declaring that he expected the other commissioners to interest themselves In the department of which he is tha chief. Director Prelskel In a statement today asked Commissioner Roegner to cooperate with him in driving bootleggers out of Tussalc and urged the finance director to turn over to him the name of any persons known to be selling liquor in violation of the law, together with any evidence he might have.

In his statement, tha publis safety director declared that in his opinion the Sunday fnovle question was settled when a previous administration repealed an ordinance prohibiting performances on Sunday. There is no law preventing Sunday shows in Passaic now, he said, except an old "bljie law," which virtually forbids any sort of amusement on the Sabbath. He declared he would not consent to have patrons of Sunday movies treated as criminals and hauled, off to the police station In a patrol wagon. OFFICER SHOT BY B.

1.2? VlT 0 BOOTLEGGERS BETTER Form Socialists Workers In-1 ternationale Stride Toward Peace, Debs Saysi 1 HAMBURG. May 24 W. The sec. oqg and aecond-an J-one-half Socialist Internationales, are no more and in their places has been created a consolidated organization known aa the "Socialist Workers Internationale." The new body was formed here by Socialist party delegates from thirty different nations, Including the United States. Tha new International Is designed to include all the Socialist workers of the world, altho at present specifically excluding the Ziopist representatives, who voted at their congress in Palestine against joining the second International, and also tha separatist groups in Czechoslovakia and Russia.

Its program as officially outlined comprises four main points. The first states that the parties thtis uniting aim at substituting Socialist for capitalistic methods ot production, and "in the struggle between the classes," to recognize this sultltutlon process as a means of achieving "the emancipation of the working class." Point two notes that the organisa tion is endeavoring completely to unify the Socialist workers' movement. The third point states that the International is practically operative only in so far aa its decisions (fre binding on all its parts, adding: "Such decision of the International organization therefore means volun tary restriction of the autonomy of parties in the Individual lands." Point four specifics that the organization must serve as an Instrument during the war as well as peace. NEW YORK, May 24. W5) The action of tha Socialist conference In Hamburg In forming the Socialist workers international was hailed today by Eugene V.

Debs, leader of the Socialist party of the United States, as a great stride toward world peace." Mr. Dobs, several times Socialist candidate for president of the United States, read with keen interest dispatches from Hamburg describing the action of the conference. The matter of instructing American delegates was up for sharp debate at the National Socialist convention in this city which ended Tuesday. Altho no instructions were cabled abroad, hope was expressed at the New York convention that a big, new body would rise out of the Hamburg Speaking today ot the formation of the Socialist workers internation- ral. Mr.

Debs said: "It is a clear, announcing and inspiring voice to the workers of the world that the time is at hand when they must organize on a secure foundation. I am sure that will be the result ofthe new organization. present conference at Hamburg has taught the Socialists the value of solidarity and the effect of moral Influence. The deciarafUon that the organization must serve as an instrument during war as in peace, to my mind marks a wonderful forward step in the movement to abolish war. "The new organization is virtually a league of the people to establish peace, as against a league of governments to exploit and oppress the masses.

The latter plan is merely the designs o'f a fekw powerful nations to gain control of the weaker. For the first time in the history of the world there is a conscious rise of the who are determined to control their own evolution," CURTIS FOUND GUILAY OF $50,000 ROBBERY NEW YORK, May 24. Charles F.

Day of Power Here. ATLANTIC CITY, May 24. that mora emphasis must be placed on Evangelism by the Northern Baptist denomination, was the contention made this morning by Rev. F. A.

Smith, D. of New Jersey, chairman ot the committee on education, in an address at the forenoon session of the Northern Baptist convention, which Is given over today to the consideration of home missions. "We must fling a challenge to God's people and to God's ministers to go out after the souls of men," declared Dr. Smith. "At present there is a widespread spiritual paralysis that stays the hands of the church in what ought to be the day of her power.

There is no physchological substitute for the spiritual. Our ministry must not be salesmen, but prophets. Our next great denominational movement, ought above else, to be spiritual. Unless it is spiritual, we are doomed. Whatever duties may call us, this is primary." The past year has been unique in the unusual advance in the home mission work of the Baptist denomination, Dr.

Smith declared. Notable gifts have also made it an Important year financially, he said. Thirteen chaplains of the army and navy have joined the "Baptist missionary staff, The architectural depart ment has been os assistance to 230 Baptist churches.
