CYCLE FANS ENV|ED
ALLEGED DEFAULTER.
Charles Jaeger, Arrested for
Looting Bayonne Bank, Al
ways Had Big Roll.

Bicycle fans who have watched
young Charles Jaeger ride at the Vel
odrome and his fellow contestants,
who used to admire and envy the
opulence of his bankroll, as well as
his skill as a rider, were given an in
teresting topic of conversation today
in the news that he has been ar
raigned on a charge of embezzlement
and forgery in Bayonne.
The amateurs at the local and Phil
adelphia tracks always thought Jae--
ger was a sort of Croesus, Midas and
Nabob rolled into one.
When a card at Philadelphia or
other out-of-town tracks was snort
on amateur riders, Jaeger was always
ready to make a trip to help out.
And once there. nothing but the best
hotels suited him. Even the profess
SIGNALS, reputed to be earning big
money, were struck with the style
with which young Jaeger went about
town.
AS for the amateur riders of New
ark and the metropolitan section,
they had to work for a living and
found that trips to Philadelphia and
New Haven were too much for their
pocketbooks.
ooh. but he's teller in the Bayonne
City Bank" Jaeger's admiring
friends used to explain to those who
commented on his spending proclivi-
ties. You see he pulls down big
salary. Bicycle riding is just pas
time for him and he can afford to do
it right"
But Jaeger's salary as teller was
rot so big after all. He and Henry
J. Klink, the assistant paying teller
of the bank, were arraigned before
Judge George G. Tenant in the
Hudson County Court of Common
Pleas late yesterday afternoon.
Although the two men had already
expressed their willingness to plead
non vult. they entered plea of not
guilty upon the advice of their coun-
sci. Aaron A. Melniker.
Bail had been fixed at $1,000 when
Jaeger and Klink were arrested.
Judge Tenant declined to reduce the
amount, although Mr.. Melniker made
an effort to have him do so.
The total defalcation of the pris-
oners is more than $4,000. according
to former Prosecutor Pierre p. Gar
ven, counsel for the bank.

COUNTY LAWYERS
FOR WORK|NGMEN
Jersey Secretary Tells Ma

Help Liability Law.
IFrom a stan Correspondence


TRENTON. Oct. members Of
the joint commission created by the
National Civics Federation to study
the operation of workmen's compen-
sation laws In the various States are
in conference with William e. Stubs,
secretary of the New Jersey En-
ployers' Liability Commission today.
The object of the conference is to
furnish employers, employees and
the public in general with more
definite knowledge of the benefits of
such legislation.
Those in conference with Secretary
Stubs include Cyrus w. Phillips.
member of the former New York
State Commission on employers LA
bility and an attorney of Rochester;
J. Walter Lord. chairman of the
Maryland State Commission on en-
ployers' liability and workmen's COM
pensation. and John Mitchell, vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor. of Mount Vernon, N. Y.
Secretary Stubbs in explaining the
workings of the law in this State
told the visitors that in his opinion
the average persons affected by the
new law are getting 80 per cent. of
what they are entitled to. In his
opinion the employees of the State
are generous along these lines. Most
of the cases are settled without court
procedures. In the opinion of Secre-
tary Stubs, however, there is room
for improvement in the laws. For in
stance, a man living in a remote dis
trict may make a settlement with
the employer and yet not secure all
that he is entitled to.
In order to remedy this the secre-
tary believes that the appointing of
workingmens compensation counsel
in each county would be beneficial.
1t would be the duty of this counsel
to take up the various cases and en-
ter suit providing the employer re-
fused to pay what the injured person
is entitled to.

Advice to Farmers
Moderate Means

If you have not enough
money to buy and stock &
farm in the prosperous west
ern country; or if you want
to get experience in irrigation
farming before buying you
should take a "cheap ticket
trip out to the Big Horn
Basin of Wyoming, and look
that wonderful country over
well.
The Big Horn Basin is
filled with rich, irrigated
farms, and you can rent one
of them on shares-fair terms
and no cash payment, Then
you will quickly get the ex-
perlence that will teach you
just what to do afterwards.
You should also look into
the value of the "Carey Act"
farms. Fifty cents an acre
to the state, and a sum yearly
to the irrigation company for
water rights until fully paid.
You do not have to live on
the land to acquire title.
The very best markets are
close at hand, so you can sell
at top prices all the alfalfa,
potatoes, wheat, oats, dairy
products and fruit that YOU
can raise. 1t is true there
fore, that these farm lands
today priced at a low figure.
will in a few years time be
worth big money. That's al

Its An Ill Wind That
Blows Nobody Good

Damage to crops is always misfortune to the
world at large. Advices from the corn belt report
that long continued lack OF rain and unusually hot
spells of long duration have worked havoc with
the growing crop. Such reports must always of
course, be discounted to extent, as the ex-
citement invariably leads to a certain amount Of
eXaggeration. In this case, however, there is
strong reason to fear that the damage is very
nearly, il not fully, as bad stated.
There is reflection of this in the Chi
cago grain market. Spectators take pains
to be unusually well informed as to crop con-
ditions and movement. Corn is now bullish.
Prices are advancing by inmps. So are the
values of other grains. Receipts are falling
off, farmers who are acquainted with the sit
uation evidently preferring to hold cereals
back. They are acquainted with the condi-
tions and believe the damage is so great and
widespread that still higher prices must re-
suit
AT the same time reports from ir-
rlgated territory where the farmers are
not dependent upon rainfall, show that
all crops are in magnificent condition
The promise for bumper harvests was
never equaled. While the drought in
the non-irrigated area has tended to
advance prices sharply, the men who
farm irrigated lands are in position to
take advantage of the situation. They
will have immense quantities of pro-
duce to sell and will get big prices for
it. This, it is true, is at the expense
of those less fortunate, but in it may
be found forceful illustration of the
benefit of irrigation. 1t makes the
tiller of the soil independent of climatic
conditions.
