FRANCE NEEDS LESSON.
Should Boycott French Goods, Says
Morton.


Morton.
New York.-Paul Morton, presi-
dent of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society says that the United
States should boycott French goods
and teach France a lesson
Some very strange suggestions
were made to me during my visit
to Paris regarding the recent at
tempt to have United States Steel
common listed on the Paris Bourse, >
said Mr.. Morton to-day. "A number
of prominent French bankers suggest
ed taht it might be an easy matter
to get American securities listed for
trading on the French exchanges If
America would make some tariff con-
cession for French imports. But the
wenuine surprise came when gen.
tleman high in governmental official
rank, came to me with tentative
proposition to the effect that if the
United States government would
make some preferential tariff ar
rangements for French imports he
could suggest plan whereby the lis
ting of American securities on the
Paris Bourse would be almost assur-
ed. | told him that | was very sure
no such proposition would be enter
tanned for one moment.

Chief Burke issued orders to the pa
trolmen this morning to arrest all hpck-
sters and peddlers who had not renew
ed their licenses All permits of huck-
sters and peddlers expired on June !,

sufficient time to renew them.
The patrolmen were instructed not to
accept any excuses from the peddlers or
hucksters, but to take them to head
quarters if they could not show new
licenses Every year the police have
to compel many of this class of dealers
to take out renewals
The day force had not been out

nesen caught three hucksters doing
business without authority and took
them to police headquarters

DOUBT ABOUT
DOG CATCHER

There seems to be some question
as to whether Louis Conley is still
the official city dog catcher and, in
view of this fact, the stray and
homeless CANNES are still roaming
at large.
Alderman-at-Large Voorhees, is
under the impression that Conley
was appointed for only one year and
that he is now out of office, and until
the matter is Strengthened out he
will collect no dogs. Mayor Bollsch-
weller saw Mr.. Conley this morning
and discussed the problem with him
and IL man is employed this year
1t will probably be under a new ar
rangement.
AS the job of dog catcher is not a
position that is much sought after
Mr.. Conley will undoubtedly be re-
engaged. City Clerk LaRoe said this
morning that the licenses were com
ing in slowly and that only 352 had
been taken out since June. 1t is be-
lieved that as soon as the catcher
starts out the total will increase
more rapidly.

EderIy Stranger With Money
to Burn Beaten at Central
Freight Depot.
WATCH TAKEN BUT HIS
ROLL WENT UNTOUCHED
Victim Was Somewhat Thick
in His Talk--PoIice Made
investigation.

Henry Jensen, of 21S Oak street, re-
ported to the police shortly after 5
o clock yesterday afternoon that man
had been badly injured at the Central
railroad freight station The victim
said that two men had hit him with a
blackjack and robbed him, declared
Jensen.
Detective Long was detailed to in
vestigate and found that Patrolmen
Tonnesen and Hanson were already
there. The man was averse to answer
ing questions in regard to himself but
the detective learned that he was a
prominent business man from South
Jersey. He was between sixty and
'sixty-fve years old and was under the
influence of liquor. Detective Long
drew from him the information that he
had gone to a freight ear near the sta
tion with man who had knocked him
down and taken his watch. First he
said that the man had taken his money
but later found that his roll was safe
He showed a number of bills.
AS the man had a badly bruised eye
and slight injuries about the head, De
tective Long took him to DR.. M. s.
Meinzer 3 office where he was given
medical treatment. He did not want
to make a charge against anyone and
seemed satisfied to let the matter drop
although he told Detective Long that,
If his assailant was caught, he would
appear and make charge against him.
Later the man was taken to South
Amboy where he boarded trolley car
for his home. In account Of his dis
connected story the police were unable
to solve the mystery or obtain any clue
which might lead to the arrest of his
assailsnt. Detectives Huff and Long
worked on the case last night but made
little headway. Patrolman Wood says
that he saw the man going towards the
freight house about 2.90 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon, but that he was alone.
Detective Long says that the man
was not hit by blackjack but prob
ably by man g fist as the marks on
his face Indicated. The other injuries
on his head, the detective says, he
probably sustained in falling. !,
