Beef from Argentina and
Australia to Cut Food Cost

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Fresh
beef from South America and Aus
tralia is now an established factor in
the import trade of this country, ac-
cording to the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, department of
commerce. Between two and three
million pounds of fresh beef practi-
cally all of it from Australia and Ar
gentina, entered the United States
during the last three months. If the
present ratio of increase is main
tanned the aggregate importations of
fresh beef for the year will be 10000,
600 pounds or more.
That these importations will in time
aid materially in reducing the cost OF
living is a certainty. provided, OF
course, the beef trust @does not get
control of the foreign imports as well
as the domestic supply.

Band Concert Season Ends;
Few Postponements Recorded

A striking feature of the band con-
cert season which closed with fare
we'll concert at Weequahic Park yes
terday afternoon was the fact that
during the entire summer there were
only four postponements due 10
weather conditions. All of these oc-
CURED on weekday nights, all of the
Sunday concerts being given as
scheduled.
With yesterdays concert the band
concert committee of the Common
Council closed the most successful
season since the concerts were placed
under the city's auspices. Much of the
credit for the success of the concerts
is due to the able and efficient man
agement of Mart King, the director,
who has had complete charge of the
seasons schedule.
During the season siXty-one con-
certs were given, twelve more than
last year. At it's disposal for the year
the committee had $1,000, but there Is
a substantial balance, which will be
turned back to the Golfers of the city.
1t is estimated that there were about
$50, 900 persons who enjoyed the con-
certs, as against about 100000 last
year. The season started on June IA.

SAYS GERAN ACT IS
NOT FOR MOOSERS
Record Declares G. o. P. Can't
Prevent Republicans Voting
for Progressives.

The right of the Republicans to
prevent voters who last year voted
at the Republican primaries, to vote
at the coming Progressive primaries,
is objected to by George L. Record n
a statement by him today. He was
apprised of the fact that circulars
will be distributed by the Republic
cans. notifying the election officers
that the votes of those who voted in
the 1912 Republican primaries can
not he accepted at the coming Pro-
gressive primaries.
The clause in the Geran election
act, which the Republicans claim
bears out their contention, is as fol-
lows:
"At any primary election the men,
hers of the board conducting the
primary election for each political
party shall refuse to receive the vote
Of any voter offering to vote in the
ballot box of their political party +
the name of such voter appears in
the primary book of the other politi
cal party as made up at the next
previous election
Mr.. Record contends that this
clause in the act was drawn up in
reference to the Republican and
Democratic parties, and was not in
tended to hamper those who wish TO
vote at the Progressive primaries this
year.
IT drew up that section of the law
myself" declared Mr. Record today.
"At that time the third, or Progress
sive, party. was not in the field. 1t
was meant to prohibit voters who cast
their ballots with the Republicans at
the previous election from voting with
the Democrats until one year had
elapsed, and vice versa.
1T Is hard to see in what manner a
ruling may be obtained to settle this
question before the primary election,
a week from tomorrow. / do not see
how the court is going TO decide it,
and the only one, in my judgment,
who may give ruling is the attor-
general That official might in
terpret the law as it applies to this
particlar matter if a test case was
brought before him for decision before
the primary election. Even that pro-
cedure is improbable.
''As the matter stands now I don't
think that anything like court de-
cision, or an opinion by the attorney
general will be given to guide the
voters on this point. I imagine that
the various election boards will settle
the matter according to their own
views. / cannot see any other solu-
ton of the problem"
From another source it was learned
today that the Essex county Pro-
gressives take another view of the
Situation. 1t is understood that the
local leaders acknowledge that the
Republicans are right in their stand.
The Roosevelt followers here assert
that they expected a light Progressive
vote at the primaries. but are con-
ifident that they will win large num-
bers of voters at the general election.

NEW HAVEN BARS
GREEN ENGINEERS
New Rule Requires Two Years
Experience for Driving
Fast Train.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 15.-In
''the interest of safety new rules
governing the promotion of firemen
to engine drivers and of engine driv-
ers to advanced grades of service, and
for 1.-The discipline of both," have
been promulgated by the New York.
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
effective at once"
A committee of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. headed by f.
). Evans, has had five conferences
with C. L. Bardo, general manager,
in the last two weeks during which
opposition was expressed to a change
of rules as outlined by the operating
officers.
The particular changes in rules to
which the brotherhood committee OBJ
jected were those relating to the
seniority rule, the physical and visual
tests and the methods of discipline.
In an official statement by the COM
mittee il asserted that orders to
make time issued in 1911 and the
disciplinary results which accom-
panied failure to make time have
been largely responsible for condi-
tons on the system in the last two
years. The additional assertion was
advanced that conditions developed
by the order to make time" has ode
moralized the force The committee
said that a restoration of conditions
to those which existed before the al
logged make time" order or 1911 would
accomplish everything desired in the
proposed set of rules submitted by
Mr. Bardo.
One of the principal changes relates
to experience engine drivers must now
have before being placed at the throt-
tie of fast express engines.
The investigation of the Stamford
wreck by the Interstate Commerce
Commission showed that while the
engine driver, Doherty, under the
terms of the then existing agreement
was entitled OF run the engine her had
had practically no experience on fast
trains.

HAS HARD TIME
SELLING LEASE
Gold Gets Rid of Bad Bargain
After Stormy Session
With Trustee.

After many vain attempts and sew
eral stormy sessions with the trustee,
Herman Gold has at last rid himself
of an Objectionable lease to the store
at 20 Ferry street. formerly occupied
by the bankrupt New Jersey Store Fix
ture Company, Gold bid $515 for the
lease at public auction and later found
he dmade bad bargain.
He tried to have George Furst,
trustee for the bankrupt firm, relieve
him of the bid, Furst says. Then he
petitioned Bankruptcy Referee Edwin
G. Adams for relief, but none was in
sight.
Finally, Leon Barban. a speculator,
offered him $500 for the lease. Gold
decided to sell it. He hurried Bar
ban over to Furst's office and asked
that Furst assign the lease to Bar
ban for $500, and Gold would pay the
difference between that amount and
price bid. The trustee refused to do
this, as it did not provide for the
payment of $50 in rent.
Then Barban wanted to talk "Yit-
fish" to Fursc so that a reporter for
The Star would not know of the
transaction, and this made the trus-
tee so indignant he told the lease
buyer to go get q lawyer.
He wanted to phone for one, but
Furst would not allow him to use
the phone in his office for that pur-
pose. Barban finally communicated
with Henry L. Grosken, of Grosken
s. Moriarity, and the lease was trans
ferred to him on payment of 5000, but
Attorney Grosken insisted on Gold
paying the $50 rent due to protect his
client against this claim. After
much wrangling Gold paid the rent.
Then Rarban transferred the lease
again to Max Brown, former pres
ident of the store fixture company,
Benjamin and Jacob Egeth, together
with a lease for two years after the
lease in question expires. The three
men took formal possession today.
The lease expires in May, 1914.
Gold paid $515 for the lease and
$56 in rent while the store was va

|SLATON ADMINISTRATION
CAREFUL OF EXPENSES
Money in Sight Governs
Them

Atlanta, July 29.-With less than
two weeks remaining before the close
of the present session of the legisla-
ture, it begins to appear that the open
ing of the Slaton administration will
be remarkable most of all for the in
telligent and careful way in which the
general appropriation bill has been
handled.
At every point so far as was hum
anly possible, the appropriations have
been made with direct relation to
the amount of money which the state
can count on to meet them. This IS
the first time in many years that the
appropriations have been so handled.
Usually it is question of every in
terest getting the biggest appropriation
it can squeeze out of the legislature
and then trusting to luck to meet the
big total sum.
This year, however, the approril-
tons committee went slowly and care
fully to work to square expenses and
income, and the measure, in acord-
ance with the request of Governor
Slaton, is now being transmitted to
him for inspection, with more than
ten days left in which he can discuss
with the legislature any changes
which the administration may deem it
wise to suggest
