Victor Rubish, after an ambu- lance surgeon had dressed a bullet wound In his elbow, went to a cell on a charge of atroclous assault and bat- tery, as did Eugene Curry, whom, the police alleged, was Rubish's compan- fon, A Jersey City policeman and a New Jersey state trooper who chanced to be in the station alded Hoboken po- licemen and railroad attaches in cap. turing the combatants and quicting the excited crowd. Lean On Gunman The policeman and trooper leaped at Amerian just as he started blazing away, but by the time they could close in his pistol was empty. Mrs. Isabel- la Barclow of 1406 North Sixteenth street, Philadelphia, had fallen with| a bullet in her forearm, and Rubish, elleged wellder of the blackjack, was clutching a shattered elbow and danc- ing with pain, When the three men in the fracas had been captured they were rushed to police headquarters, whither Mrs, Barcalow also was taken that she might receive the attention of an am- bulamce surgeon. Her wound was found to be not serlous. Hoboken detectives who began an investigation believed that word that Amerien was arriving with the money for New York, had been spread among the underworid in Hoboken. They said that Rubish and Curry rushed to the station in an automo- bile to meet Amerien. When he ap- peared Rubish pulled a blackjack and started the trouble. The detectives added that they thought they knew the driver of the car that carried two men to the station and that they ex- pected to arrest him soon.

The speaker of the evening was Rev, Ernest V., Claypool, state super- intendent of the Anti-Saloon league, In waiting for the arrival of the speaker, Attorney Upson, who repre. sented the local Swedish Good Tem- plars at a- hearing before the ju- diclary committee of the legislature yesterday, explained the terms of the bill for law enforcement presented by that organization, English vs, American Law In his address Mr. Claypool pared the courts of this country with those of England. He said an em- ployer In America, from whom an employe steals, can condone the offense and decline to prosecute, but in England he has no choice, There the question of whether or not the | employer will prosecute rests with the attorney for the crown, while it is the business of the policeman to enforce the law, not wait for some private in- dividual to take the trouble to push the thing through. He said people in America will go to a store which ad- vertises a certain price for groceres and then pay a higher price. In Eng- land they would haye the advertiser arrested. He pointed out that when public interest ceased in the Hall-Mills mur- der case, the whole investigation seemed to go by the board and nothing has been done. “In two- thirds of the murders committed in New York there have been no arrests and a large percentage -of those ar- rested have been freed,” he said. Speaking of the-value of a Civie Safety league with a large member- ship, he said, “Public sentiment is reflected in the attitude of ‘the police- men and judges. The courts are not all convinced that the people want prohibition.” Power of Judges. He described at some length the power of judges and how a.prejudic- ed judge could influence the evidence or the witnesses, or even the attor- neys to make the case turn out as he so desires. He added that this was not a common practice, but that a judge had such power should he de- sire to use it. “When a judge plays with littie fines and no jail sentences, letting criminals go he is practically co-oper- ating with those criminals,” he said. He added that the Anti-Saloon league is helping the police and watching the judges of the state, and advised the local men to be ready before election to “bring pressure to bear on the right. people.” Was Once Part Owner of Theater in New Britain Henry H.
