by an EVENING STAR reporter in his

found by the Hudson county grand
jury against the beef trust

took his left foot off the shines" box
and presented his right.
Anything to be done in Essex coun-

Nothing that / know Of" was the
answer.
But the indictments have been found
along lines that would be applicable
here" persisted the STAR man.
rs that so? Well, as / have said be-
fore, | NOV of nc move to be made
here
Indictments may mean conviction,f'
it was suggested.
They do-sometimes," was the COM
ment. Sometimes there's a long time,
very long time, between an Indictment
and a conviction"
Anything else new?" Mr.. Mott was
asked. i
Nothing" was the answer.
As the 'sshine' had finished his job

TARIFF AND HIGH PRICES
TO BE CAMPAIGN ISSUES.
Democratic Committeeman Mack
Criticises Lincoln Day Speech.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Feb. &c, chairman
Norman Il. Mack, of the Democratic Ma
tlonal Committee, makes II evident IN
the March number of his magazine, tho
National Monthly, that he believes the
tariff and the high cost OF living are
TO be two of the principal issues of the
Democratic congressional campaigns of
the present year,
Mr.. Mack sharply criticises the tariff
portion of President Taft's Lincoln day
speech in New York and declares that
the President cannot now sustain his
Wlnona speech without r%epudiating the
New York address, or vice versa, and
that he must disavow Senator Aldricl
or withdraw his declaration on the
woolen schedule of the tariff bill.
Try as he WILL" a y Mr.. Mack,
President Taft cannot read into this
tariff measure that it is a revision
downward. On the question of tariff
making Mr.. Taft is an innocent child
compared to the astute and crafty
Aldrich. All the eloquence of the
PRESIDENT and all the explanation of
the department figures cannot alter
the condition in which the consumer
finds himself. 1t is not now from
his political enemies or partisan op-
ponents, If o will, hat the President
is forced to defend himself, but from
the demands of an over-burdened pub
lie worrying under the hardships of the
tremendously high cost of living"

Jersey Troops Would Go

Great excitement was caused in mill

Trenton that the Second Regiment, N.
q. N. j., had been ordered to mobilize
at Trenton today and that they were
to report In full field uniform.
Under the Dick law, 1t was thought
that it was possible that they might
be preparing to send New Jersey troops
to Philadelphia to be used in quelling
any riots that might break out there.

OF the national reserve.
From the acknowledgements office at
Trenton, however, it was later learned
that nothing more warlike than a re-
view and parade at. Trenton were an
ticipated n the war clouds soon dis
solved into thin air. Major General p.
Farmer Wanser will be the reviewing
officer at h ceremony.
1t is still an interesting question.
however, as to whether or not New
Jersey troops could be ordered into
pennsylvania for riot duty in case the
necessity arose.

FRUIT STAND ALLOWED TO
STAY NEAR CENTRE MARKET.

The fruit stand now doing business
in front Of Centre Market has been
the cause of considerable comment by
those who had their stands removed
by Superintendent Shipman several
weeks ago when he enforced the side
walk ordinance. The contention is that
If the stand is allowed to remain it is
just as much of a violation of ordi-
nance as The stands were in other parts
Of the city.
Mr.. Shipman said today that the
market committee of the Common
ceimcil controlled all OF the walks

is a tendency for one to wait for an
other to act. Where the responsibility
is concentrated it is easier to place the
blame for bad government. If there
were but one alderman from each ward
he would feel more responsible and the
more work would be done with less
trouble and friction
When Chandler W. Riker was asked
today whether he had anything to say
about the new charter he remarked:
NC until the work Is all done. There
Will be stib three or four weeks of
work on the details. BY that time I
hope to be in favor Of It,"
