cloud that dipped earthward and
wherever it struck left in its wake

SAY ELECTRIC CURRENT
is MEASURED WRONG

Complaints of the Wheatena Com
pany, of Railway, and the Commercial
Steel Company, of Jersey City,
against the Public Service Electric
Company for alleged discrepancies in
the method of measuring and charg-
ing for electric current used by the
two companies for manufacturing
purposes were heard by the Public
Utility Commission at the Court
House today.
Both sides were represented by a
large array of legal talent and cleo
trical experts, the question being a
technical one between the Public
Service and the companies buying the
electric current.

SAY F|ORE VERDICT
MAY Be DEFECTIVE


and the jury was then dismissed,
while Fiore was remanded to Jail to
await sentence next Monday.
Prosecutor Hood and Judge Martin
had consultation just before noon
today over the verdict, and the pros
ecutor stated later that the verdict
was perfectly legal. He pointed out
that Judge Martin, in his charge to
the jury, had told them that only
two verdicts were possible for them
to find, either murder in the first de-
gree or acquittal. The fact that they
did not acquit made the verdict one
of first degree murder was the con-
tention of Mr.. Hood, who further ex-
planned that If any defect had ex-
listed 1t had been cured by Clerk Nc
LELAND when he asked the jury If
their verdict was murder In the
first degree" and had received an
affirmative answer.
Mrs. Ciccone's Child.
Steps to look after the welfare Of
IL. year-old Annie Cccone. WIN is
now practically an orphan, with her
Gather dead and her mother facing
g life term In state prison, are being
taken by Judge Martin in conjunc-
ton with County Probation officer
John ]. Gascoyne.
Little Annie was the only child OF
the couple and is an unusually bright
girl for one of her class. For almost
fifteen months she has been confined
In the House of Detention as a wit
ness and is entitled to witness fees
for 402 days at fifty cents per day,
a matter of $201.
This in itself is quite a fortune to
her, and 1t is to save 1t for her that
Judge Martin is now acting. He pro-
poses to have little Annie declared a
Juvenile delinquent on the ground
that she has no visible means of sup
port. Mr.. Gascoyne is trying to pre-
vail on Mrs. Ciccone to allow him to
be appointed the legal guardian of
Annie. BY this means the money will
come into possession of Mr.. Gascoyne
while he will also be in a position to
have Annie placed in a home fer
girls, preferably the State Home at
Vineland, where she will be near
enough to the Trenton State prison
to visit her mother occasionally. If
il be found impossible to get Annie
into Vineland Mr.. Gascoyne, as her
guardian, would place her in some
other home.
1t is felt by Judge Martin and all
others interested in the welfare of
the child, who played such a tragic
part in the murder of her father by
her mother, that It would be a mis-
take to allow her to go back to the
Cutler street neighborhood.
In the fifteen months the child has
been in the House of Detention she
has become Americanized TO a re-
markable degree despite the fact that
she has been deprived of schooling
during that period. and has prac-
tically forgotten the Italian lam
guage and customs. Her only rela-
tive is her aged grandmother Mrs
Eugenia Massina, mother Of Mrs
Ciccone, who it is stated is notIn q
position to properly look after the
child
Annie is being held temporarily n
the House of Detention by Older Of
Judge Martin pending steps to- pro
vide for her.

PERTH AMBOY. N. j., April 20
Another factory was added today to
the long list of plants affected by the
widespread strikes in this vicinity.
It is the Roessler & Hasslacher
chemical works, where the workers
in one department quit, apparently
in sympathy with the 1000 other
strikers from the National Fire
proof1ng Company's plants in Perth
Amboy and Keasbey and other clay
burning factories along the Raritan
river to Bonhamton, near New Bruns-
wick.
There was little demonstration
when these men walked out, and the
company expects no trouble from them.
The immense chemical mills are run
ming along as usual. 1t is believed
the company will treat with the men
today and that they will return be-
fore night.
Although more factories in Middle
sex are affected by labor troubles
than ever before in the history of the
county, there has been very little
show of violence. With the excep-
ton of injuries to a man and woman
the former badly beaten and the lat
ter shot the strikers have harmed
no one. Their general attitude seems
to be peaceful, although the presence
of fifty armed deputies may have
something to do with 1T.
Shoots at Armed Guard.
Last night one of the strikers at a
Keasbey plant, after exhortine his
fellow men to rush the deputies,
emptied both barrels of shotgun at
an armed guard. The shot went wide
of its mark and the striker was
seized before he could reload his
weapon. He was taken to the county
Jail at New Brunswick.
1t was rumored here last night that
the grand jury has indicted six strik-
ers arrested since Wednesday. This
also had its effect on those inclined to
violence. 1t was also unof1icially stat
ed by local labor men that "Bill" Hay
wood is due here from Paterson to-
morrow or Sunday. There are several
/. w. w. men working among the
strikers. Assemblyman Arthur A..
Quinn. who is vice-president of the
Carpenters and Joiners of America, is
on his way home from Indianapolis.
He is being sent here by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to deal with
the strikers, and will arrive in this
city Tuesday

UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGIST.
The Old Joke Ahous 'something Just
as Good" Doesn't apply to This
Drug Store.

You have probably heard dozens og
times the old story that drug
store was a place to get something
just as good There is at least one
druggist in the world that you can't
say this about.
It is certain that an inferior article
will never be substituted for Il guar
anteed one by the X-Ray Pharmacy.
Take for instance safe, reliable
remedy for constipation and liver
trouble like Dodson's Liver Tone.
This harmless vegetable liquid has
proved SO satisfactory liver stifnu-
liant and reliever of biliousness, and
10 entirely take the place of calomel
without any danger or restriction OF
habits or diet, that there are dozens
of preparations springing up with imi-
tatiots of its claims
But Dodson's Liver Tone is guar
anteed to do all that is claimed for
it. and if you are not satisfied with
it, the G-Ray Pharmacy will hand
your money back with a. smile. Any.
person going to this store for a bot
tie of Dodson' 5 Liver Tone viii be
sure of getting a large bottle Of this
genuine remedy IN exchange for his
hall dollar.

Coffee inportations Into United
States

About three-fourths of the coffee
comes from Brazil. In the first nine
months of the current fiscal year
that country supplied $50 million
pounds, valued at seventy-eight mil
lion dollars, somewhat more than
three-fourths of the total quantity of
ll6 million pounds imported. The
average import price of the Brazil
ian coffee was 1873 cents per pound,
as against 1912 cents in the full fis-
cal year 1911, and cents in the fis-
cal year 1909. The other principal
countries from which @coffee is inn
ported into the United States are
Colombia, with So million pounds in
the fiscal year 1912; Venezuela, SO
million pounds; Central American
states, IA million pounds; Mexico, Is
million pounds; and the East Indies,
5 million pounds. The import price
per pound of the coffee from coun-
tries other than Brazil is about the
same as Of coffee from that country.
The average consumption per cap
tia of coffee in the United States has
Shown a steady decline during the
period in which prices have so sharp
ly advanced. In fhe fiscal year 1909,
the average consumption per capita
was over II pounds, and the average
import price rs cents. In 1911, when
the average import price had ad-
vanced to 1913 cents per pound, the.
average consumption per capita was
but 9.3 pounds, and in 1912, when the
average import price was 1873 cents,
The average consumption was but SO
pounds.
