BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR THE FARMER

Many others besides James J. Hill see
in the return to the soiln~of large
part of our population the only hope Of
rescue from high prices and food scar
city In an interview in the New York
American, John w. Gates is quoted as
saving:
This country has not been scratched
vet in the way of development. especi-
ally in agriculture. There is Texas.
with 20 to rs per cent more area than
France, and Texas has 1900, 900 popula-
ton, while France has about So, ,000, ,00p
and the French are a prosperous people.
Take California, with its 5000, 600 pop
ulation. 1t has the area of Germany.
while the last named country has Co.,
o0o, 900, and Germany Is one Of the most
prosperous countries in the world. =
In the same paper Secretary James
Wilson OF the United States Department
of Agriculture, corroborating Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. Gates. argues thus In behalf Of
agricultural education as a means OF
turning the tide that during the last nifty
years has been draining the rural COM
munities aud flooding the towns to con-
gestion:
Most of our colleges to-day are stren-
uously at work turning out lawyers, doc
tors. preachers and typewriters. but few
of them make any effort to graduate q
farmer. I would have agriculture. in
some form taught in every seat OF learn
ing snd in our public schools.
Starting with the fact that the farm
er has to work hard he has as a reward
better health, longer life, and more
independent existence than any other
man on earth, it ought to be easy to
make the life attractive.
Then 1 would have the young men
taught the newest and latest methods of
agriculture. Show them how they can
produce more from an acre than their
fathers did, prove to them how to make
81 where their fathers made but 81. and
you will have offered the inducenient
needed to check the abandonment Of the
farm for the CITY - IS.

CHARGE JURY ON
KILLING Of MAN
IN BLOOMFIELD
Only Point Called to Attention OF
Second December Body
Today.
lNQUISITORS SWORN
In BY TWO JUDGES
--------
Will Serve Essex County for
Six Weeks-One Member
Excused.

Headed by its foreman, former Mayor
William H. f. Fielder, the second Har-
rigan grand jury appeared before
Judges Ten Eyck and Davis in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer today. and
was sworn for its term of six weeks
before the charge was delivered by the
judge first named. 1t covered only one
case. that of John H. Lockwood,
charged with the killing of Peter De
Angelo last Thanksgiving Day in the
suburbs.
Before the jurors filed before the
judges they had their pictures taken
i'll the grand jury room. and after they
returned they organized for the term.
They are to be known officially as the
second December grand jury. and the
list was published Saturday, when
Sheriff Harrigan announced it.
John F. Conroy, of East Orange, was
excused from service because of pres
sure of private business. and this left
Louis Lippman, the last man drawn,
and consequently expected to be ex-
cused, on the list.

summoned is one of the greatest i'm

unless he consents, and 1t is equally
your duty to see that no man should be
indicted, unless the evidence warrants
indictment. 1t is the duty of the grand
jury as much to protect the innocent as
1t is to indict the guilty.
"There is only one case of Importance
to which 1 desire to call your attention.
that of John Fl. Lockwood, charged
with the crime of murder"
The court then recited the facts in
the case, as printed at the time, tell
ing how the Lockwoods. who We're the
caretakers of d property in Bloomfield,
saw two men on the day in question
trespassing upon the property cutting
wood. According to Henry Lockwood E
story, the court said, the younger of
the two fired shot at him and an
other brother, Herbert, called upon his
brother. william, to get a gun, but
this was not done. The mem the jurors
were told further, were followed mile
and then two young hunters came up
to the Lockwoods and joined in the
pursuit
"The party was closing in upon the
two" the court continued. when one
of them flashed a gun at William
Lockwood. The younger pointed a re-
volvcr, it is said, and Lockwood fired
shotgun. The details will come up
much more fully before you.
If it appears that John Lockwood
fired the gun to kill him or to do bodily
harm you should idict for murder, the
trial jury to fix the degree, unless YOU
feel satisfied that the shooting was
cone under the law of self-defense. If
the evidence shows that the shooting
was justified then he is guilty of no
crime

turers' Association.
/ Miss Melinda Scott, president of the

ters went or strike and organized the
trimmers in the factory owned by
Samuel Mundhem, president of the
National Fun Felt Association. and in
the Oppenheim & Schaefferman fac
tories.
All of these women, several hundred
in number, were called out on strike
today, leaving the factories completely
shut down. Since the men hatters had
quit the women, employed as trimmers,
had continued at work finishing the
hats on which the men had worked.
Miss Scott said that the strike of the
United Hatters had caused about 1900
women trimmers to join the strike in

were paid off on Saturday those who
had finished parts of dozen were not
given the pay for the incomplete

given that in these instances only fin

opinion of the merchants on the great
white way in Broad street, south OF
Market street. A general increase in
business for the three days since the
opening has been noted and it is the
general opinion that within few
months South Broad street will be
patronized perhaps more than any
other section of the city
Another demon stration is planned for
Saturday night when there will be
music to satisfy the most critical ear
as well as other general features to
attract.
Joseph II. Weeks, general manager
for George Watson, clothier expressed
his pleasure in the most decided way
with the effect of the celebration.
Even with the bad weather condi-
tons" he remarked, business has
been exceptionally good. 1t must be
remembered that this is a dull season,
too. The merchants, of this section
have been brought prominently before
the public in this movement, and the
general effect cannot be anything else
than good.
1T can be truthfully said of our busi-
ness that there has been a very salts
factory increase since Saturday. This
is going to continue. and South Broad
street is going to be well patronized.
Frederick d. Stoutenburgh, of Stout
enburgh & Co, said the result OF the
celebration would be a large Increase
