AS yet there has been no open move

Nervousness of the crime with which
the negro is charged, residents are in

PACKERS ANNOUNCE NEW
SCHEDULE ON PRODUCTS.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1S.-The prices Of
beef and pork are falling Within the
last week the price OF beef has been
reduced between four and five cents a
pound by the meat packers. The price
of pork has declined about three cents
from the price of eighteen and twenty
cents a week ago, ami wholesale meat
dealers say that mutton and veal and
other products of the packing houses
viii take a downward turn within the
next few days.
Prices of the first grades Of beef
have been falling for about a week.
said Frank A Froehling They did
not go off all at once, but the packing
houses have been coming down about
half cent at a time, until the prizes
of prime beef is between four and FIVE
cents lower than il was last week an
this time, and that of the best grades
of pork is from two to three cents
lower This applies of course. to the
fine roast beef and steaks, for the ordi-
nary quality has not fallen on and
do not think it viii"
Packers explain the reduction by say
ing that the price of corn has made
many Middle West farmers become
"stockers' s'--men who buy young cat
tie and hogs and fatten them for the

this way of utilizing it more proftable
than selling it in the open market.

POLICE BEAT MOB BACK
FROM ASBURY JAIL.
Especial to the Newark star.l

ASBURY PARK, Nov. 15.-The hours
preceding the transfer of Williams to
the county Jail at Freehold were filled
with dramatic incident. Snow fell
steadily during the evening. but this
did not deter the mob that has hung
about the city prison for days. and
soon after dark the crowd reassembled
to await developments. Men of promi-
nence were on hand, too, and they
went through the throng pleading with
the men, women and even children not
to allow the crime with which the
negro is charged to so unpunished
longer.
"Down at Freehold" said one citizen,
there are 200 men waiting at the
depot and as many more in front of
the Court House. They won't let Will
Jams get into jail. 1t will be an eternal
disgrace to the good name of Asbury
Park if we let this niger get away
from here and have Freehold crowd
treat him as he should be. treated
here!'
Chief of Police Smith personally ap-
peared on the steps of the Jail and
pleaded with the mob to disperse,
shouting that Williams was only being
held on suspicion. His words served
only to Increase the anger of the crowd.
From being merely noisy and threaten
ing the crowd resolved into ominous
groups of men talking earnestly to-
gether.
A little later the sound Of steel hit
ting the pavements was heard, and
Chief Smith realized the crowd was
bringing crowbars to tear down the
building. He donned his uniform, and
bidding his men arm themselves with
revolvers and nightsticl1s, sailed forth.
Before the determined onslaught of the
police, who used their clubs freely. the
crowd melted away. The officers con-
fiscated fifteen iron bars and two big
sledge-hammers. Then the chief rea-
lized the mob meant business. A hur-
ried consultation of officials was held
and 1t was decided to remove Williams
to Freehold at once.
When the streets had again been
cleared a score of police brought the,
prisoner out, heavily manacled. Zvand
bundled him into waiting autopzobile.

Officers Declare.

PARIS. Nov. 15.-The River Seine

statement that the maximum food
would be reached on Thursday next
has not reassured the riverside dwell
ers in this city and in the suburbs,
who see the waters advancing slowly
in the streets bordering the stream,

The return of flood conditions has
convinced the government that the

push the big project of a canal TO di-
vert the waters in times of flood. The
building of this canal will be matter

ERROR COURT SETS
ASIDE THE SUNDAY
BALL INJUNCTION
Holds What Chancery Court
Should First Have Required
Proof of IrreparabIe Injury.

TRENTON, Nov. 15.--On the ground
that preliminary injunction should
not issue until 1t is shown that ire
parable injury would be entailed upon
the complainants the Court of Errors
and Appeals today reversed the Court
of Chancery in directing that an in
junction should issue restraining the
playing of Sunday baseball in Atlantic
City.
The Court of Errors. however, does
not attempt TO pass upon the question
as to whether an injunction would be
proper upon the final hearing of the
case The application for an injunction
was made by the Rev. Mr., MILAN and
others against Louis Quehnle and the
proprietors of the Atlantic City base
ball park. The complainants' claim is
that the playing of baseball Sunday
constituted nuisance and the testl-
mony offered led the Court of Chancery
to take a similar view.

:. ASSAlLANT OF GIRLS.
Especial to the Newark star.l

WOODBURY., Nov. 15.-Roland
Black, a negro Farmland, is today
held without bail at the county jail
here following his identification as the
assailant of Margaret and >Letitia Mutt,
young daughters of an Evan farmer,
near their home. last Saturday night.
Black was captured yesterday by a
posse that had been securing the coun-
tryside since the fiendish attack upon
the young women was made. His al
legged victims are still suffering from
the shock of their experience.
The attack took place in a lonely
strip of woods when the girls were re-
turning to their home at II o'clock
after a party at the home of a rela-
tive. Black, it is alleged, sprung from
a clump of bushes and felled Letitia to
the ground. She struggled with her as
sailant, but 1t was not for several min
utes that, aided by her sister, she sue
ceeded in putting the negro to fight,
and then only by crying out that~some-
one was coming. In the struggle the
girls clothes were torn to shreds.

Dealers Elsewhere Give
Consumers Benefit Of
Break in Market.
THIS CITY'S MARKET BASKET
NOT AMONG THOSE FAVORED
Local Dealers Claim That Drop
Does Not Affect Best
Grades.

Despite the fact that the price ~
beef and pork nas been reduced by the
packers and by retailers throughout
the country, the Newark dealers have
not fallen into line with the general
ducfi0n and are charging as much for
prime beef as they ever did.
The local dealers claim that IL is only
the second grade beef that has been
reduced and that only about two cents
per pound. In the Centre Market and
elsewhere In the city the high prices
which have made the eating OF meat by
the poorer classes almost prohibitiye
still prevail.
It is admitted that the price of pork
has dropped from / to 3 cents, yet few
Of the dealers are charging less tllan
they formerly did. Several butchegs
were visited by a representative Of the
EVENING STAR, and they all seemed
to agree that there is no reason Tor

there is not much, if any change IL

contradiction to the telegranls coming

Local Men Give Views
As explained by the local men. prime.
or corn-fed, beef not has dropped at
all They say that it Is the second
grade, or grass-fed, beef that has
dropped two cents on the pound
According to these men, pork Is from
one to three cents cheaper, but veal
and lamb are the same price. and It IS
expected, they say. that the price g
both lamb and veal IS likely 10 go n
one OF the reasons given by the local
men for the reduction in beef and pork
is the fact that more poultry is sold at
this time of the year than at any other,
and that after the holidays the prices
viii again go up
The following list shows what the
butchers selling the best meats are
charging: Porterhouse steak. 28 cents;
sirloin steaks, 20 to % cents; rib roast.
16 to % cents, and chuck roast Y to IA
cents. For the second grade beef. these
prices are asked: Steak, IA to 16 cents.
rib roast u to Il cents; chuck steak, II
to Il cents. This. they say, is two cents
less on the pound than was formerly
charged Although pork has dropped
three cents on the pound, chops stiil
bring - cents and fresh ham 20 cents.
The price of Jersey ham is even higher
in the local shops.
