JERSEY POTATOES
GUT PRICE IN TWO
Crop So Big That Tuber Now
Sells at So a
Barrel.

WOODSTOWN, Aug. 22.-Potato
growers of South Jersey will divide
1000. 900 as their share of the receipts
from the sale of the early potato
crop, the last of which is being dug
and shipped away this week.
The yield per acre has not been as
large as usual this year, but the
harvest of potatoes in the aggregate
is big, and will run close to 5000 cars
for the shipping stations in Salem.
Cumberland and Gloucester counties.
Prices are just about half of what
they were last year. Failure of the
crop in other parts of the country
then sent the prices soaring, and
buyers paid as high as 81 a barrel at
the station for the best of the tubers.
This year they are giving 50 a Darrell
and less, as there Is a good yield of
potatoes elsewhere.
Because of the low prices of the
tubers some Of the big buyers have
been specializing and holding their
potatoes for a better market. Since
there has been a downward tendency
in prices, the spectators have nearly
all lost out, and some of the potatoes
have been damaged by rot by hold
ing them too long on the sidings. It
is estimated that at one time this
week there were 400 cars of potatoes
sidings either because of a slow
market or speculation.

REPORT MURDER
OF z AMERICANS.
Advices TO State Department
Say Nicaraguan Situation
Is Critical.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. = Two
Americans are reported to have been
deliberately murdered in the massacre
of the Nicaraguan loyal troops by the
rebels at Leon on August 10. One was
said to be Harvey Dodd. of Kos
ciusko, Miss. the other d mai named
Phillips. The two men had been
wounded and were seeking refuge in
a hospital. according to the reports
received today at the state depart
ment. They were said to have been
fighting with the government troops.
The killing Of Dodd and Phillips.
though not entirely a parallel, recalls
the killing of Cannon n Groce by
Zelaya in 1909. which resulted in an
upheaval hat threw the dictator out
of Office and sent him to Europe an
exile. The state department is press
ing for more Information.
The massacre of the loyal Nicara-
guam troops sent to defend the town
of Leon is fully confirmed in a belated
cahlegram received today from the
American legation at Managua, dated
August 10. The affair was even more
d sa strous to the government forces
than originally reported. The rebels
refused quarter and annihilated the
whole force of defenders with the ex-
ception of three or four soldiers who
made their escape by putting on uni
forms of rebels.
Today's early advices to the state
department are that the situation Is
critical. Though the American ma
rines and bluejackets are holding
Managua against the would-be hooters
and pillagers, great danger is threat
ening Corinto, on the west coast.
Women and children of foreign
families of the town are sleeping
aboard the two United States war
ships there.
At Chinandaga the situation is re-
ported improved. The government
has been able to reopen communica-
ton at that point. which is on the
railroad connecting Managua with
Corinto.

The inspectors and captains, it was
learned today. will stand behind Cap
tain Cornelius G. Hayes in his fight
with Waldo. Hayes. who was in
spector of the Fourth district, en-
bracing the new Tenderloin, and who
was reduced in rank and suspended
for telling Waldo he had orders from
him not to raid d~isorderly houses
unless specifically ordered by the
commissioner, will not come up for
trial until next week. He has not
vet been served with copies of the
charges against him, and according
to the rules of the department he
has forty-eight hours in which to
prepare defense. Not that Hayes
cares about the forty-eight hours.
His case has been ready for some
time.
The only question was whether the
inspectors and captains would stand
behind him.
One of the interesting announce
ments today was that William J.
Flynn, chief of the New York divi-
sion of the United States Secret Ser
vice and for several months deputy
police commissioner Of New York, In
charge of the detective bureau, is to
resign his Federal position in order
to assist the committee of aldermen
in their investigation of police con-
ditions. AS a fact, Chief Flynn will
be lent to the aldermen by the Fed
eral authorities.
The knowledge of police graft that
he obtained when deputy commits
sioner will supply a good basis for
Mr.. Flynn when he begins his work
of probing into police conditions.
