PANAMA
CANAL WILL REDUCE
. HIGH LIVING COST
Commissioners of Australia
/. Says His Country Can
Ship Mutton Here.

Cheaper meat will be one Of the re-
suits Of the Panama canal. according to
the opinion Of Sir George Reid, high
commissioner OF Australia in London,
who left Washington today for New
York, after n stay OF several days in
the National Capital. The reason of
this prediction, says Sir George, is the
ease with which cattle can then be
brought to the Eastern marke cts from
Australia, the great sheep and cattle
growing country.
1T will doubtless be surprising to
most people here to know that we have
In Australia nearly twice as many
sheep as there are in the United States"
said Sir George. but that Is a fact
In the United States there are about
b5,ooo 900 head Of, sheep; in Australia
more than 9.ooo.ooo.
Increases Stock Raising.
There can be no doubt that with the
shortening Of the distance from Aus
traha to the American markets by the
Panama canal. great impetus will be
given to shipping and raising cattle.
even with the tariff in this country as
high as 1t is. No. we have made no
plans as yet but now that the canal is
almost complete. I am sure the matter
Will be given consideration at once"
Sir George spent yesterday morning
At, Congressional Library. and went
through the. testimony with regard to
the Panama canal. He did not care to
discuss this question. He was delighted
with the library building. which he de-
clared one of the most beautiful and
artistic he had ever seeh.

lynch him. Troops, however, hur-
ried the prisoner away.
The king continued through the

HEAR IN DISTRICT COURT

In an effort to recover for time
and labor expended in the manufac-
ture of two church bells, later sold
to the Hungarian Roman Catholic
congregation of the Church of Our
Lady OF Hungary, of Perth Amboy,
Ignatz Gabay,, an experienced bell
maker, OF South River. will bring
suit next Tuesday IN the District
Court, this city, against the National
Iron and Metal Company. also of
and energy spent on this work at
$3.50. The case has been adjourned
for two consecutive weeks, but Is ex-
pected to positively come up for trial
before Judge John w. Beekman next
Tuesday.
Not Enough Brass.
The plaintiff contends that he was
engaged by the South River concern
to manufacture two church bells for
the sum of $3.50, materials to be fur
nished by the defendant company.
Gabay received the metals, which. he
asserts, did not include the correct
proportion of brass with which to
make satisfactory bells. But, he was
instructed to continue with the met
ais furnished and turned out the best
article in the line of bells that he
knew how, according to his declara-
ton. The bells We're completed on
August 15, 1911, and forwarded by
the South River concern to the local
congregation, which paid for the
same by check. On examination.
the bells were found to be not up to
standard. and payment was stopped
on the check.

same was held up on application of

matter was taken TO the Court OF
Chancery where 1t as ruled that
$3.50, necessary to settle the IRON
makers claim. should be held by the
receiver until either of the princi-
pals in Tuesdays action secured O
Judgment. The congregation has re-
tanned Joseph e. Stricken, OF this
city, as counsel to present their
claim that the bells were not of the
type. and quality ordered and ex-
pected.
Willing Co Return Bells.
The bells rang merrily on the day
they first arrived, but since that time
have lived life of laziness. The
ron npregHtiou will readily return
them to the plant of the defunct
South River concern, If some one will
come forth and furnish the expense
money As they have not received,
do not expect to receive. or will not
pay for the bells. the congregation
can not see the reason why they
should return the bells at personal
cost.
