OYSTER PLANTING
BEGINS TO-DAY
A Number of Boats Will Go
Out.
A SCARCITY OF MEH.
Word Comes from Oyster Country
That Some Boats Cannot Go
Out on Bay.

Oyster planting begins today I'm
der the law the planters with their
dredges can go out upon the natural
beds of the Delaware Bay, take from
the bottom the natural seed, and carry
| them to the Maurice River Cove where
they may be transplanted upon the
! beds on the leased grounds
Notwithstanding all of the early
talk and conjecture, there will be a
good many thousands of oysters taken
from the natural beds in the Bay and
thrown over upon the grounds of the
planters in the Maurice River Cove
1T has been suggested that planting
has been overdone in the past few
years, and that there are now too
many oysters in the cove. Some of the
oystermen think that it is because of
the over abundance of oysters in the
Cove that the Bivalves do not grow
and develop better For a couple of
years at least, the market has not been
good, and there are many grounds in
the Cove that are not disturbed. For
these reasons it was felt that perhaps
there would be but little planting this
spring.
The information from the oyster
country is to the contrary. 1t is now
said that many boats will be working
today upon the natural beds of the bay
and more would be out if there could
be secured sufficient help.
Under that part of the oyster law
popularity known as the, Seventh Sec
ton, it is a misdemeanor to employ
in the oyster trade, any but residents
of the State of New Jersey. 1t has
always been said that this law was
never rigidly enforced in the past be-
cause there were not sufficient men to
man all of the boats. Now it is said
that word has been passed down the
line that complaint will be made
against any employer who violates the
law, and that now but Jerseymen can
be taken on board. AS result of this
understanding there are but few tran
sients about Bivalye and some of the
captains have thus far been unable to
man their boats.

ROOSEVELT FIGHT
IN THIS DISTRICT

From the Atlantic City Review of
yesterday is taken the following:
Through arrangements made yes
terday with former Governor E. C.
Stokes, the office of the Secretary of
State at Trenton was kept open after
the usual closing time pending the ar
rival of Joseph H. Marvel, of this city,
who left for Trenton early in the after
noon for the purpose of filing his Pc
tition as Roosevelt delegate from the
Second Congressional District to the
National Republican Convention.
Mr.. Stokes was on hand when Mr..
Marvel arrived at the State Capitol,
and they held a lengthy discussion
on the situation existing here in re-
gard to the Roosevelt candidacy.
The former Governor promised dur
ing the conference that he would come
to this city to aid Mr. Marvel in the
fight that is to be waged against Sena-
tor Walter e. Edge, whose well
known partially to Taft, despite the
fact that he has come out as an unin-
structed delegate, is by no means
pleasing to Roosevelt followers in this
section OF the State.
With the filing of Mr. Marvel's
petition, the fight for Roosevelt
throughout the county, as we'll as in
the other three counties forming the
Second Congressional District, may be
said, to be actively under way, and
some lively doings are expected from
this time forward to the primaries on
May 2S.
Advocates of Roosevelts nomina-
ton have made no secret of the fact
that they are out to win and they are
now prepared to carry on a vigorous
campaign with that end in view"

SCRAMBLE FOR
JERSEY DELEGATES
No Taft Instructions in This
District.
CAMPAIGN WARM ONE
,Mineh and Edge Will Be Instructed
for Taft O.her Campaign
News.

Trenton, April 30.-The Republican
machine managers were~ given an un-
pleasant jar today b ythe filing of pc
titions of Senator Walter E. Edge, of
Atlantic, and former Senator B. H.
Minch, of Bridgeton, as candidates for
National delegates from the Second
candidates had been placed on the
Briggs slate framed up some weeks
ago by the conference" of Taft men
at the Republican Club here, and it
was expected that they would run as
Taft men. Both of them, however, dis
claimed any intention of so doing, as
the sentiment of the voters of the dis
trict, as they say it looks to them,
may not be in favor of the renomina-
primaries are held. Mr. Minch had
long ago announced his candidacy for
delegate, and it is said he had a strong
leaning toward Roosevelt, but when
the Briggs slate came out with his
name attached, the Roosevelt League
placed Frank D. Potter, well-known
resident of Bridgeton, ON its ticket
Petitions for the candidates. of Clerk
in Chancery S. X. Robbins, of Bur-
lington, and former Assemblyman
Chris. S. Hand, of Cape May, as un-
instructed alternates for the Second
district, were filed, but both have
strong machine affiliations.
! Chairman Whiting, of the Roosevelt
League, filed the petitions for the big
four" of that wing of the Republicans,
chosen at the recent meeting. They
are former Governor John Franklin
Fort. of Essex; former Senator Ever
lit Colby, of Essex; Edgar B. Bacon.
of Hudson, and former Speaker Frank
B. Jess, of Camden. 1t was the gen.
eral impression at the State House
today that if Roosevelt carried Massa
chusetts the ticket in this State would
go through with whoop with these
four men at its head. The alternates-
at-large named in the petitions are:
Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott, of Essex;
James w Mccarthy, of Hudson, and
former Assemblyman Henry Marelli,
of Passaic. Another candidate is yet
TO file.

D|ETz APPEAL LOST
IN SUPREME COURT
New Trial Is Denied Cameron
Dam Defender.
MUST SPEND LIFE IN PRISON
Court Holds That Overwhelming Evil
dence Leaves No Room for Specu-
lation as to Guilt-Dletz Shocked
by Unfavorable Verdict.

Madison. = The state supreme
the lower court and denied the APP
peal of John F. Dietz, the outlaw of
Cameron dam fame, for a new trial.
Dietz is now serving a life SEN
tence in the state penitentiary for the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harp
at the Dietz home in Sawyer county
on Oct. 8, 1910. At the time of
the murder Harp attempted to serve
a warrant on Dietz, who had barri-
caded himself and family in the
house and barn and defied the sher-
ifs posse. The outlaw was taken
several days later, and on March IS,
1911, was convicted of the murder Of
Harp and sentenced to life imprison
ment. His wife and son, Leslie, who
were tried on the same charge, were
acquitted.
The decision, which was wired to
the dam defender at Waupun imme-
diately after its announcement, was
a severe shock to the prisoner Dietz
had confidentially expected a favor
able verdict and all details for his
immediate release pending the new
trial had been completed. Mrs. Dietz
and the family, now of Mayville, had
planr I'd to meet their husband and
father at the prison gates and &C
company him to Hayward, where ar
rangement had been made for bail.
Unless the case is appealed to the
federal courts, which is not improb-
able, Dietz must serve his sentence.
The decision of the supreme court
marks the elimination of one of the
most unusual and romantic cases in
the criminal annals of the state.

Not All as GAY as They Seem.

No sane man doubts that the wom-
en- of this country will obtain the
right to vote in good time, but that
day will not be advanced by absurd
ties.
In Boston, for example, says the
Washington Post, there is an or
ganization known as the Woman
Homestead association an officer of
which describes bachelors as "arro-
CANT and egotistic," and declares that
they make money their god and
evade their duties to society,"" and
this despite the fact that if the truth
could be ascertained it would be
found that perhaps 80 per cent Of the
men who remain unmarried do so out
of a sense of duty to dependent moth
ers, sisters of younger brothers, and
not because of selfishness nor for any
other reason rejecting either upon
their character or their opinion of
woman. Many a bachelor who goes
through life bearing the reputation of
being a gay old boy, free from the
cares of matrimony. is doing his duty
to society by patiently bearing a bur
den of which the world knows moth

DECLARES PUTR|D
MEAT WAS PASSED
Ex-lnspeCtor Gives Sensational
Testimony at Inquiry.
TURNED DOWN BY SUPERlORs
Witness Declares Standard of lnsp1rs
ton Has Been Lowered Every .
Year Since Present Law Be-
came Effective.

Washington, May 15-According to
J. w. Burroughs, who was formerly
an inspector of meat under the juris-
diction of the department of agricul-
ture and who gave testimony before
the house committee Monday on ex-
penditures in that department, the
standard of meat inspection had gone
lower every year since the present law
went into effect in 1906
At the present time, according to
the witness, conscientious inspectors
regard their presence in packing
houses as something merely perfume
tory.
Burroughs told the committee he
was appointed to the service in Sep
TENDER, 1906, and assigned to duty in
Philadelphia under DR.. Charles
Schauffer, inspector in charge of all
packing establishments in that city.
"One day in the winter of 1902 or
1908, DR.. Ralph Clements, a veter-
mary inspector, wandered into the
basement Of the establishment Of
Charles Roesch G Sons" Burroughs
told the committee. 1--WE noticed the
carcasses Of ten bulls that were to be
ground into sausage meat. They
were black and stringy and had fear
full odor
I'm going tn see just how bad
they are l said to Clements. Then
pressed several fingers against new
ly-cut side. My hand sank into the
meat almost to my wrist.
1--WE summoned Doctor Schauffer
He examined the meat and questioned
our wisdom, as he expressed it, In
condemning 1t. 1 protested it would
be a menace to health to pass such
carcasses. Finally he ordered us to
let them by.

KING OF DENMARK is DEAD
Frederick VIII. Expires at Hamburg,
Germany, of Pheumonia-Had
Reigned Six Years.

Hamburg, Germany. - Frederick
VII, king of Denmark, died here
after a long illness. Although it was
known that the king was seriously
indisposed it was not thought that
his illness had reached a critical
stage.
The king, who was a brother of
eX-Queen Alexandra of England was
born in 1913 He succeeded to the
throne of Denmark by virtue of the
Danish law of succession on the
death of his father, King Christian
TX, in 1906. He married the Prin-
cess Louise of Sweden in 1869 and
had three daughters and four sons,
the eldest of the latter being Crown
Prince Christian.
The direct cause of King Freder-
ick's death was pneumonia. Several
weeks ago the king took a severe
cold, and although it apparently
yielded to treatment at the time, the
relief was not permanent. The king
had come to Hamburg by advice of
his physicians.

for the Tory candidates, Sir William
Heathcote and Mr.. Claiborne Hardy,
