JUSTICE Ki[ISCH
DEMANDS JURY

Atlantic City, June 27.-Orders is
sued this afternoon by Supreme
Court Justice Kalisch, of Newark,
summoning the Atlantic County Grand
Jury to meet in extraordinary session
at Mays Landing on Saturday, Gre
ated a sensation here. No cause for
the call was assigned in the notices
sent by mail to Sheriff Johnson and
Prosecutor Goldenberg. 1t is believed,
however, that Justice Kalisch intends
to demand indictments in cases of al
legged violations of voting laws on a
wholesale scale at the November cleo
tion.
7 Justice Kalisch was named last
week to succeed Supreme Court JUS
tice T. w. Trenchard as presiding
Judge in the South Jersey circuit.
Justice Trenehard recalled the
Grand Jury and made a demand for
wholesale bills, but the Grand Jury
returned small batch of indictments
after Attorney General Wilson had
presented the evidence.

HAWKINS BID o.
ADVANTAGEOUS
Local Bidders Have Best
Figures
COMPUTING THE BIDS
Bridgeton Electric Company's Pro-
position Will Receive Attention
of Engineer.

Following the meeting of City Coun-
Gil yesterday afternoon, engineer
Clyde Potts left for his New York
Office, taking with him the figures of
the various contractors who submit
ted proposals for the erection of the
Filtration Plant and Water Pumping
Station. Mr.. Potts will compute all
of the bids, and on Monday night next
will present the complete figures to
City Council, and perhaps make re-
commentators.
In all, there were twenty bids re-
ceived. Two were necessarily thrown
out by reason of the fact that they
were not accompanied by certified
checks as required by the specifca-
tions.
There were but two bids for the
entire work, the other bidders cover
ing only one of the four sections Of
specifications. Harry H. Hankins G.
Brother, Of this city, were the lowest,
bidders upon the complete job, and
from present indications, their bid
is the most advantageous to the city.
The bid of Hankins & Brother is $70,-'
030. 1t may be that taking the lowest
of four bidders upon the four specifi-
cations, the figures of Hankins & Bro.
might be trifle more, but the advan-
tage of having the entire contract
completed by one responsible bidder,
is manifest, and in the end would save
very considerable amount of money.
That the plant would be we'll and
properly built by Hankins & Brother
is assured, and every taxpayer in
Bridgeton will urge that the local firm
be awarded the contract if it is legal
ly possible and consistent.
The proposition made by the Bridge
ton Electric Company to operate the
proposed plant by electricity was
placed before the City Council in a
most complete statement by General
Manager B. F. Hires. Carefully pre-
pared estimates were presented show
ing the cost of building, installation
and operation of plants by steam
power and electricity. The figures
submitted by Mr. Hires indicate that
a steam plant would cost from $4,000
to S2S,000 more money on first cost
than an electric plant. Operating
charges less interest upon investment,
based upon running the plant to its
fullest capacity, 100000 gallons per
day, it was shown would be $1,000 less
annually with electric power than by
steam. Operating the plant at less
than capacity would make a relatively
greater saving with an electric plant.
This proposition will be given con-
sideration by both the engineer and
the members of City Councilr
There were some two score of rep
resentatives of contractors present,

STATE HOUSE
EXTENSION

Trenton, June 27.-It was evident
that building contractors had their
eyes glued to the 100000 appropria-
ton for the extension of the west
wing of the State Capitol today, for
some of them shot within a few dol
lars of the mark in bidding on the
work. The bids were opened by the
State House Commission, OF which
Governor Wilson is the chairman, and
there was lively competition among
the dozen biders. One man bid $685.
while several came little less close
lly to the sum set aside by the Legis-
.lautre.
The successful man was John P.
Gill, of Princeton, who got down to
s56,950. The contract will be formally
given him as soon as his bond of $780,
600 is approved. 1t is said that work
will begin on the extension with all
possible speed.

PROSPECTS
FOR POTATOES

Jersey potato-growers have high
hopes of good prices when they begin
to dig. Just at present there is
shortage of both old and new potatoes.
Last week farmer, who had just got
ten ready to plant late potatoes, was
obliged to pay $9.40 per sack for old
| potatoes and when he got his last lot
was told the price had jumped to
$3.75.
Virginians began to ship potatoes
last week, but they were immature
and not well ripened. They brought
from $3.50 on up to $5.75 per barrel.
Information from various sources
would seem to indicate that the crop
will be short on the western shore.
A buyer, who has followed the coast
up the past spring, says that the crop
will only be half of normal. Another
big dealer who handles many carloads
of that stock says that the crop will
be bad short.
The Produce News says that recent
rains have greatly benefited the crop
down there and that there is promise
of a harvest of good quality and that
good season is expected in Virginia
potatoes. Somewhere between these
extremes of opinion, lies the truth.
1t is probable that the crop is not up
to normal. South Jersey potatoes
come into market about the time Vir-
ginians are cleaned up. If these mid
die southerners glut the market, Jer-
sey starts under a handicap. If their
crop is short or of poor quality, Jer-
sey is the gamer. Present prospects
are that Jerseys will command a good
price, at least on the start, and it is
probable that early marketing will be
an advantage this year.
The cost of digging is much less
when Jerseys can be pushed into the
cars as soon as they are in shipping
conditions. Crab grass and weeds
grow rapidly and increase the expense
of digging if the tubers are left in the
ground too long-Elmer Times.

Mrs. Jacob Moscovitch is
Thrown From a Wagon
GUTTER BRIDGE
OBSTRUCTS STREET
Accident on Broad Street Resulted
in Serious Injury to a
Woman.

A street obstruction, one that has
several times been ordered cleared
away, was this morning responsible
for a serious accident Only by
strange fortune did the accident es-
cape fatality.
Shortly after Z o'clock this morning,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Moscovitch, whose
home is on Burlington avenue, were
driving east on Broad street They
were seated in runabout, in the back
of which were tied two small calves
At the top of the Broad street hill
the wagon struck board or some
thing in the roadway making a rat
Ting noise, the horse was frightened
and sprang into run. Before Mr..
Moscovitch could gain control, the
animal was tearing madly, wildly
down the steep hill.
Swerving to the south side of the
roadway, the horse drew the wagon
into the gutter. Directly opposite the
livery stable of Clarence Bacon,
there is a wooden bridge which spans
the gutter. The bridge comes far out
into the road making an obstruction
that is a practical barrier. Into this
dangerously located bridge the wagon
was dashed. The result of the impact
was that the horse tore loose from
the wagon, while both Mr.. and Mrs
Moscovitch were pitched headlong ov-
er the dashboard of the wagon.
Mr.. Moscovitch fell in the gutter
upon his head Mrs. Moscovitch
pitched all the way over the long
bridge, and on the curbing, striking
her left shoulder with frightful force
Bystanders who witnessed the runa-
way team and the falling man and wo-
man, felt that both must be killed.
Indeed it seems almost miraculous
that tho woman was not killed out
right.
Those who hurried to the assistance
OF the woman found her unconscious
and she was carried into a nearby
house.
DR.. w. Leslie Ccrnwell was sum-
moned. An examination showed that
the woman had sustained a fractured
shoulder blade, was considerably
bruised and may have internal injur-
les. DR.. Cornwell ordered her sent
to the hospital.
Mr.. Moscovitch was bruised and
shaken up, but no bones were broken.
The wagon was damaged consider
ably.
Why this dangerous bridge obstruc-
ton upon this most important thor
oughfare?
There were several such bridges
upon this street few years since.
All but this one have been removed.
Why this one? - ~

and all of them were greatly inter-
ested in the reading of the bids and
most of them recorded the figures as
they were presented.
Engineer Potts had forms for the
bids and he took down all of the fig
ures for computation.
City Clerk Jacob B. Jones has all
of the lids in his strong safe, and has
deposited several thousands of dollars
of certified checks which were en-
closed with the bids.
Mr.. Jones yesterday handled the big
batch of proposals inte1ligently and
expediently. He read the figures
plainly and made his record accur-
ately. The entire work of opening,
reading and recording the proposals
took but little longer than half hour.
