One Bad Eye

has an injurious effect
upon its mate. Few per-
sons have eyes exactly a.
like. A slight difference,
unless properly cared for,
will soon develop into a
marked one. In many
cases the bad eye, by
timely and proper care,
may be brought to regain its
normal visual acuteness. Ad-

ing $1.31 from him. They demanded

Jacoby, first tried, denied the accu-

other jury convicted De Cicco on ex-

denial.
Judge Rosalsky called De Cicoo to the
bar and the man made a clean breast

NUGENT As
COUNCIL HEAD
Elizabeth CounciImen Break
Deadlock on First Ballot
That Is Taken.

ELIZABETH, Jan. 5.-The deadlock
in City Council was broken last night,
when Edward Nugent received on the
first ballot the thirteen votes neces
sary TO elect him president of the mu-
nicipal body. The deadlock occurred
last Monday night, when the orsantza-
ton of council for the present year
was first attempted.
There were three nominees for ooun-
ell head last night. the Republicans
naming Mahlon Morey and the Social
lists Otto Stegmaier. The vote was Is
for Nugent. 6 for Morey, 1 for Steg-
mailer and 4 blanks.
When Mr.. Nugent took the chair
he assured the members that 80
far as he was concerned all differ
ences that had arisen over the contest
for the presidency would be obliter-
ated. He asked for the cooperation of
his colleagues in the enactment of leg
islation that would be for the benefit
CT the entire city.
While It's manipulation kept we'll in
the background q fine military hand
could be seen directing the many for
ward and flank movements that caused
the deadlock in City Council for the
selection of a president when an or
ganization was attempted Monday
night. 1t was withdrawn tonight and
all that 1t contained were three blank
ballots that were evidently cast by
Councilman McGurn, an employee Of
the brewery over which the owner Of
the hand presides; Walker, from the
Sixth Ward, In which General Dennis
F. Collins resides, and Schlotterer, who
has just recently returned to the ca
pacious. embrace of Union County's
State committeeman.
With the memory of Collins's recens
attempt at the manipulation of the
Democratic primary election with such
disastrous results to his party and the
very evident weakness shown by the
result of his attempt to defeat Edward
Nugent for president of council, a body
which only a few years ago he domi-
mated completely. there is a growing
demand that he quit trying to conduct
the State affairs of his party and re-
sigr from the State committee. It Is
pointed out that q man who has no
more strength in his own city and
county than hat shown by Collins dur
ing the last few months cannot posi-
bly, exert the influence in State affairs
that is necessary to the interests of the
Democrats that he processes to repre-
sent.

ENGLAND SHIP-OWNERS DO
NOT FEARCANAL PREFERENCE

LONDON, Jar 5.-The Morning
Posts attempt to arouse an agitation
against the reported proposal of the
United States government to grant
preference to American shipping in the
Panama canal, has not met with great
success. Neither the newspapers nor
the ~ship-owners show a disposition to
become excited. The ship-owners are
included in the view that any possible
loss through American preference
would be compensated for by a general
extension of the carrying trade when
the canal is opened, and that Great
Britain would be likely to maintain
its preference In such business.
