factories in various states of the

and other products obtained from the
seed to the amount of $5O,OOO,OOO
The enormity of this sum is almost
ncomprehensible to the lay mind,
yet that does not wholly represent
the wealth obtained from a material
that thirty years ago was deemed of
small consequence. This great Amer

by foreign trade. Its greatest market
is at home. More than half of the
production is consumed in the United

Those more fortunately situated do
not know the inconvenience and hard
ship worked on some because of the
present water situation. There are
many families without access to wells
or cisterns, who are using the water
now furnished. There is not water
enough stored in cisterns to run the
town ten days, if all were drawing on
this source. There are not near
enough wells to meet the demand
Twenty years dependence on the
water works caused the old wells to
be abandoned, and but few new ones
were dug. The town is face to face
with a threatened water famine Dig

TRENTON, Jan. a.-Differing in
many essential points from the minor

Commissioners, submitted TO Governor
Stokes by Commissioner Borden D..

majority report has been sent to the
Governor by General Joseph w. Cong

of Red Bank. Believing that the au-
thorizing of the Railroad Commission
or any similar body to fix rates is a
matter involving too many and COM

the majority report declares against
this policy. 1t goes on, however. to
say that ample power should be given
which will prevent discrimination, and
a number of suggestions are made in
creasing the powers of the commission

ened TO Shoot.

Crowds of people in Broad near Com
merce street shortly after 10 o'clock
today saw Detective Sergeant Kuhn in
lively chase after a suspicious per-
son who had run out of the Scheuer
building at the approach of the head
quarters man. Down Commerce street
went the man, with Kuhn half block
behind, but rapidly catching up to
him.
"Stop or I'll shoot you yelled Kuhn
to the fleeing man, and forthwith he
stopped.
Kuhn quickly recognized him as
Daniel Danowitz, lately released from
the State Reformatory for burglary.
On the way to police headquarters
Danowitz attempted to put his hand
in his pocket as though to take some-
thing out of 1t. Kuhn became sus-
picious and ordered him to desist.
When searched at headquarters two
rings, one plain gold band ring and
the other a womans with two red
stones and some small chipped dia-
monds were found on him. He said
that they were given to him by boy
in New York. In a corner Of his
jacket was later found limestone
diamond brooch which is valued by the
police at 5000.
Danowitz appeared very nervous
" .en this was fished out of the lining
of his coat, as he had thought it would
escape the notice of Kuhn. This. too.
he said. was given him by New York
boy. A pawn ticket was found on him
showing that he had pledged a watch
in New York for fifty celts.
The police are inclined TO think that
he entered house in New York and
stole the jewelry.
Danowitz, who is 20 years Of age,
has been out of Railway Reformatory
less than month. He is booked as a
suspicious person.
Later the police discovered that abe
diamond brooch which the prisoner had
in his possession was part of the loot
stolen Monday night from the jewelry
store of Louis Hasoff, at 202 Springfield
avenue. At the time the store was en-
tered, the thief gaining an entrance
through a transomg several hundred
dollars worth of jeRelry. including the
