BIG GROWTH IN
INDUSTRIES.
New Jersey Has Made Rapid
Strides Comparison With
Other States.

Since the first of the year New
Jersey has been going through a re-
markahle industrial development, as
evidenced by the unprecedented vol
ume of the building operations in fac
tories and mills in the state. Sta
tistics available from several cities
indicate that the building operations
of this character through the state
between January / and August ! of
the current year aggregated in the
neighborhood of $4,000, 900. This
constructive evidence of industrial
growth is not confined to any one sec
ton of the state, but is generously
distributed.
This increase in manufacturing
plants will further enhance Jerseys
manufacturing prestige. Already, ac-
cording to the last federal census,
Jersey was far ahead of any other
state of its population in the amount
of money invested in lands and build
ings devoted to manufacturing pur-
poses. Alabama, Tennessee, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, and Iowa, all states of
a population about equal to that of
New Jersey, averaged about ~$45,SS0,-
600 in lands and buildings so invest
ed. Jerseys figures were about three
times this amount.
The new building construction
means that Jersey has factory plans
in hand that will provide work for
Us, 200 additional wage carriers. And
there is every reason to believe that
while western states are at their wits
end to secur laborers and workers
generally, Jersey will have little trou-
BILE in getting the necessary quota of
operators for its factories and mills.
Manufacturers have learned by eX-
perience that New Jersey is an eX-
cellent state in which to secure and
keep labor of all kinds for manufac-
turing enterprises.
The proximity of the state to the
port of New York, into which thou
sands of immigrants are pouring
daily, provides a steady influx of or
binary laborers into the state. The
higher class of wage Farmers is at
tracted by the facilities offered for
ready transportation and comfortable
homes. There is no factory district
in any Jersey town or section, how
ever closely packed, from which the
trolley does not afford easy transit
to pretty suburban homes away from
the factory smoke and CRIME. Few
states have benefited by railroad and
trolley extension to the extent that
Jersey has. 1t is estimated that there
are about 275,000 wage earners en-
ployed in the manufacturing estab-
lishments in the state at the present
time, and the large percentage of
these that own their W comforta-
BILE homes speaks eloquently of New
Jerseys advantages as a state for the
man of small means.

BACK UP BISHOPS LAW.
Paterson Liquor Dealers Offer to
Assist in Enforcing Provisions.

PATTERSON, Aug. HIT was an
nounced yesterday that a committee
of the German Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation had been appointed to wait
on the nay and Chief of Police
Bison and lay the matter of enforce
ment of the bishops law before them.
In a meeting held wednesday night
by the association II of the most
prominent liquor dealers in the city
said:
"If Chief of Police Bison intends
to enforce the liquor law as embod-
led in the bishops bill we, members
of the German branch of the Liquor
Dealers Association, will assist him
to do so, but at the same time we will
insist that he make an effort to en-
force the other laws that are on the
statute books. 1t is curious that the
whole machinery of the law should
be directed at the poor liquor dealer
who pays a license for protection,
while other ~lawbreakers, such as
people who sell liquor without lic-
ense and conduct places that are
otherwise against the law, and the
keepers of gambling resorts are per-
mitted to do business without moles-
tation.
1T is ridiculous to suppose" con
tinued the speaker, ito say that the
police do not know of these places,
as everybody in town is aware of
their existence. If the chief If ignor-
ant of these places we will furnish
him with the necessary evidence for
him to act. Furthermore, there are
numerous gambling places through
out the city that are generally known
to the citizens, yet the police do not
seem to be aware of their existence
and they are permitted to run with
out interference. while the poor sa-
loon keeper cannot sell a glass OF
beer TO a friend, as an accommoda-
ton, without the police making an
arrest" a.l
Teh committee will call on the
mayor and chief just as soon as pos
sible, andsfhes poolrooms, gambling
places and places where liquor is sold
without n -iicense may find them
selves under the ban of the police.

HOLD FINAL SESSION
OF THE INSTITUTE.
MethOdists at Ocean Grove Conclude
Their Conference on Aggres-
sive Evangelism.

OCEAN GROVE, Aug. 17:-To-
DAYS session is the final one of the
Institute on Aggressive Evangelism
which began its meeting here the
first of the week.
At yesterday afternoons session
Rev. Hugh e. Smith, of Los Angeles,
Cal. took up the question as to
whether there is any such thing as
new evangelism. There is a doubt in
the minds of many ministers as to
whether improvements can be made
over the old ways of making con-
yerts. Rev. G. l.. Meade, of Newark,
thought that the church should pre-
scribe stated periods each year for
evangelistic work.
DR.. Chadwick, at the morning SEES
sion. spoke of the family altar. He
regretted that family worship is not
what it once was and that it is adopt
ed by comparatively few homes, even
among protesting Christians. Rev.
w. f. Sheridan, of Baltimore, stated
his belief in the pastors constant OPP
portunity for continuous evangelism.
He thought pastors ought to pick out
individual members of their flock
and labor for their salvation until
it has been obtained. Rev. f. w.
Adams gave his ideas of the extent
to which a pastor may hope to secure
the cooperation of his people.
The only evening session of the
conference was held Wednesday
night. The chief address was given
by J. Augustus Dwyer, of New York,
who was educated for the Catholic
priesthood. While at the university
at Washington he became convinced
he should change. He told of the
struggle which lead to his change of
faith. He did not have any %reproach-
es for the church he left. Mr.. Dwyer
is now fitting himself for a Protest
ant minister.

wich, spoke on Lay Evangelism

Protest Against New Order IsSu-
ed Regarding SaIOOnkeepers
Barred from Membership.

NEWARK, Aug. 17:-German
Odd Fellows held an indignation
meeting in the headquarters of leu
tonic Lodge, No. III, Tuesday night,
and decided to send a protest to
Grand Master Wesley B. Stout, of
Asbury Park, who issued an order. re-
Gently that the paragraph in the con
stitution relating to the exclusion of
saloon keepers from membership be
strictly enforced.
Teutonia Lodge had called the
meeting, which was largely attended,
and invited particularly Allamania
Lodge, No. 10; Germania Lodge, No.
121, of this city, and the John f..
Morse Lodge, of Orange, which are
largely made up of Germans.
While the session was a secret one,
it was learned that the speakers re-
sented the issuance of the order in a
way that left no doubt as to their
earnestness. 1t was resolved to APP
point a committee from. each of the
lodges named to make a formal pro-
test.

NEAR ABOUT
new IDEA IN POLITICS.
Henry C. Hunt Greeted by Enthusi-
astic Crowd at Sussex
County Picnic.

NEWTON, Aug. 17:-The Sussex
county farmers picnic at Lake Grin
nell, which was held for the twenty
fourth time Wednesday, closed at a
late hour.
Better weather could not have
been given the association. In all
5000 persons, sixty per cent. of them
women, enjoyed the outing, which
passed off without any feature which
could be termed d~isagreeable.
Tax Commissioner Henry c. Hunt,
of Sussex borough, spoke Wednesday
afternoon on politics. His speech.
which lasted for about twenty-five
minutes, was mainly an argument in
favor of independent nominations,
and was an out-and-out talk in sup
port of the Colby movement.
z This movement inaugurated by
Senator Colby was not, the speaker
SAID, a new movement. 1t has been
shown before, when politics were
conducted ION the square," and nom
nations ere not made by a few men
" in a little room behind the bar"
and when so made supported by the
party represented.
Attendance at the primaries and a
general Independent attitude polite
ally by farmers and voters generally
was urged by the speaker. He re-
ceived applause repeatedly and SEEM
ed to have the several hundred hear
ersfrentirely with him from start to
finish. The remarks by Mr.. Hunt
constituted the first public promulga-
ton of the new idea" in Sussex
county, and it appeared to be well re-
ceived by democrats and republicans
alike.
Editor Jacob l.. Bunnell, of the
Newton Herald, was another speaker,
his subject being how to keep the
farmers son on the farm. Mr.. Bun
nell advanced the idea that Sussex
farms we're destined in the near fut-
ure to Increase in value, and he sup
ported his views by citing the con-
struction of increased transit facili-
ties, such as the Hudson river tun-
nels, which would afford better
means of egress countryward. City
people, as the way out became more
easy, would want land, he said, and
when they had acquired farms they
would want capable and efficient men
run them. The education of the
farmer boy along these lines would
prove of value in time to the country
youth, many of whom are now leav-
ing the farms for what they consider
the more c%ongenial employment of
city or town.
Mr.. Bunnell also said "amen" to
the remarks of Mr.. Hunt. He said
that the primaries should be attend
ed as regularly and as religiously as
was church, lodge or other meeting,
and particularly by farmers. More
farmers in the legislature was a part
of his argument, and by this means
he saw the enactment of better laws
for the farming community.

QUICK WITTED GIRL
ENTRAPS STUDENT
Moore Locked Door on His Fiancee
and with Drawn Revolver Makes
His Demands.

ASBURY PARK, Aug. IL
Charles H. Moore, a Philadelphia
medical student, who has been en-
ployed in the Plaza Hotel as a clerk,
was released from custody p o the
payment of a S25 fine for carrying
concealed weapons, although the
charge against him was that of
breaking and entering with intent to
kill. Moore was found early yester-
day morning locked in a bathroom at
634 Goodman avenue. A charge was
made against him by Miss Margaret
]. Dean, of Philadelphia, who called
Policeman Charles Lippincott and
Night Watchman Bishop, and said
Moore had threatened to kill her. On
the young man was found a 32-cali-
bre revolver.
Moore in court pleaded continual
ly that Miss Deans name be kept out
of the affair. He did not deny that
he was the iance of the woman who
made the charge.
1t was claimed that Moore had &C.
handed an engagement ring from
Miss Dean and had threatened to Kill
her when she would not give it to
him. Miss Dean said in court it was
a pin he wanted to get, that he had
followed her to her room and there,
locking the door, had drawn his re-
volver. Miss Dean quickwittedly got
him into the bathroom and locked
him in. Meanwhile her maid ran
screaming to the street, where she
got hold of a policeman.

of taking his chair to uphold this

his contract and violated his oath, If
the charges are correct.
