Commission Conference
Advocates Election of
Assemblymen by District

JERSEY CITY, Nov. ga meet
ing of corporation counsels from va
rious cities that have adopted COM
mission government, making up the
commission appointed by Governor
Fielder for the purpose of suggesting
reforms for the Walsh act, was held
in the Assembly chambers of the City
Hall here yesterday. The only repre-
sentatives of civic organizations in
Jersey City who were present were
Frank Stevens. of the Chamber of
Commerce, and Winston Paul, of the
Citizens Federation. John Milton, the
local corporation counsel, gave up the
chair to Charles E. Bird, city solicit
tor Of Trenton, who presided. Coun-
sellers William Miller, of Passaic;
Howell, of Ocean City and Gilbert
son, representing the National Short
Ballot Association, were present.
Philip X Wacott, of the New York
firm of Hawkins. Delafield & Long
fellow, municipal advisers, advocated
the election of Assemblymen from
districts to avoid such n situation as
exists in Passaic County, where all
the Assemblymen come from Pater-
son. He also advocated reform for
the recall, as it is to be used in COM
mission government cities. He ar
gued that all recall petitions should
be signed at the city clerks office, as
this would avoid the possibility Of
rich men spending their money to get
petitions signed in barrooms If they
wished to recall any commissioner. He
said this had been done In other
parts of the country and would be
done in New Jersey IL the commission
government cities did not watch out.

The count took more than
two hours, there being just 104 bal
lots in the Democratic primary box.
When the count was finished, soon
after 8 o'clock, the result was not an
nounced, but will be read into the
record later. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the discrepancies in the
votes cast and as counted showed
that the anti-organization candidate
had been robbed of an average of
forty votes, that number being cred

Objections come thick and fast as

When Is a Deputy Marshal
Not a Deputy Marshal ?
Especial to the Newark star.I

TRENTON. Nov. 26.--Following the
acceptance of the resignation of
United States Marshal Thomas J. AL
colt, to take effect Saturday, the
question presents itself here whether
the terms of the Republican deputy
marshals automatically ceased with
that of their chief. Deputy Marshal
Edwin Semple, of Mount Holly, has
forwarded his resignation to Marshal
Alcott to take effect at the same time.
The two remaining deputies, Wood
bury b. Snowden and George d. Bow
ers, are in a quandry as to whether
they should come to work Monday
next or not.
The opinion is that the men will
remain in their present positions until
the appointment of a Democratic
United States marshal by President
Wilson. The special session of Con-
gress, called by President Wilson, re-
moved the United States marshals,
deputies and deputy collectors of in
ternal revenue from the protection of
the civil service law. Deputy Marshal
George w. Bowers has been in his
position for nearly thirty years.

Through the present State auditing
department 1t has been disclosed that
scores of departments, institutions,

Total New Jersey Mine Prod

$50, 1881 $50.
ZINC AND CEMENT ALSO
STATE WEALTH FACTOR
Federal Report Shows Products
of This Kind Last Year We're
Worth $19,838,553.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-New Jer-
sey Is the only State of any i'm
portance as a mineral producer in
which the utilization of the clay re-
sources constitutes the chief industry
and represents over so per cent. OF
the total output of the State, accord
ing to figures compiled by Edward
w. Parker, of the United States geo
logical survey, in cooperation with
the geological survey of New Jersey.
The clay products of the State have
included every variety of brick and
tile and every variety of pottery pro-
duced in the United States, as classi-
fed by the federal survey.
The value of the clay products in
1912 reached the great total of $19,-
S3S, 553, of which $10,9O2,633, or more
than 80 per cent, was represented by
the value of the brick and tile prod
ucts and $S,935,920 by pottery. This
shows q total increase over 1911 or
81, $50, 325.
In the value of clay products in 1912
New Jersey ranks third among the
States, being exceeded by Ohio and
Pennsylvania. 1t is second in the
value of pottery products, and fourth
III the Ndlut VI Vic PAO0-
ucts. In 1912 it was first in the pro-
duction of china and sanitary ware
and ranked among the first five
States in the production of most of
the varieties of clay products.
Including the recoverable zinc con-
tent of the ore produced in New Jer-
sey, the zinc produced in the State in
1912 amounted to 69,755 short tons,
valued at $9,626,191, making the zinc
mining industry second in Importance
in the State and giving New Jersey
second place as a producer of zinc,
Missouri being first. The centre of
the zinc mining industry in New
Jersey is the famous Franklin Fur
mace district, in Sussex county, where
mining has been carried on continu-
ously for over sixty years.
Third among New jerseys mineral
industries is the manufacture of
Portland cement, the production in
1912 being 4.490,645 barrels, valued at
SO, 052, 09S. The value of stone quarried
was 81, 716,8 29 and of sand and gravel
81, 146, $40 The only other mineral
product ,of New Jersey which ex-
ceeded $1,000,00 in 1912 is iron ore, of
which 1928 long tons was produced,
valued at $1,192,S16.
The total value of the mineral prod
ucts of New Jersey in 1912 was $780,
B81, $50.
