Foreign Trade of U. S. in Fruit
and Nuts Practically Doubled

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Foreign
Grade Of the United States in fruit
and nuts practically doubled in value
I'm the past decade, the total imports
having been 1885, 900 and exports
1920, 100000. Imports rose from $24,-
100000 to $4S, 750,000 and exports from
$19,750,000 to $33.7500OO in the period
from 1903 to 1918. Figures made pub
Nc by the department of commerce
and labor today show that imports
o. fruits and nuts for the first two
xnonths of 1914 aggregated over
$6,000,000 in value, or 20 per cent. more
than those for like period of last
year, while exports amounted to
%, 600, 900 in value or about 80 per cent.
less than year ago. The sharp de-
crease in exports is accounted for by
the shortage in the Pacific coast fruit
crops during the past year.
The domestic food supply was sup
plemented last year by $32, 100000
worth of fruits and $16,000.000 worth
of nuts from abroad and in addition
over $4,000,000 worth of fruits and
nuts from Hawaii and S3,500,000
worth from Porto Rico.

ACCUSES JUDGE
OF ''BULLDOZINC'
Attorney carIess Declared in
Contempt Before Martin.
Makes Apologies.

Henry Carless, a lawyer, trying a
case in the Court of Quarter Sessions
yesterday afternoon, accused Judge
William p. Martin and Assistant
Prosecutor Wilbur Mott of "bulldoz-
ing" witness. Judge Martin inn
mediately adjudged him guilty of
contempt of court and fined him $50.
A few minutes later, Carless,
prompted by the court, apologized
and withdraw his remarks. The
judge then waived the fine and the
case proceeded.
The statement by Carless came as
climax TO a series Of objections he
made against the method of eXamina-
ton used by the prosecutor.
The prosecutor had just stood in
front of the witness, Mrs. Lillian
Henry, and shouted at her Nov tell
the truth about this matter" Carless
jumped up and in a loud voice said:
II object to this 'bulldozing' of the
witness!
DO you refer to me or the previous
questioner?n asked Mr.. Mott. The
previous questioner had been Judge
Martin.
Both" replied Carless.
Judge Martin slammed shut a law
volume he had been consulting and
tossed it from him on the desk,
You are in contempt of court" he
said angrily, you are fined $50 and
you will stand committed till it Is
paid"
Carless began TO talk when he WAS
interrupted by the court and asked
whether he was apologizing or max
i ing explanation. He answered that
| he was doing both. The Judge re-
turned that it didn't sound much like
an apology, and then asked point
| blank IL he wanted to apologize.
! Carless was preparing to get out a
check book, but he stopped and as
sured the judge that he was sorry IL
he had said anything that was in
contempt of court.
| you withdraw the remark? ques-
toned Judbe Martin.
Eyes, your honor" said Carless.
THE fine Is waived, proceed with
the case"
! The case was that of Mrs. Alvina
Ludwig, charged with abortion She
Is being retired, conviction obtain
ed in the Essex County Courts in
October, 1912. having been set aside
last November by the Supreme Court
wher the case had been appealed.
Carless represents her in the present
| trial.
The testimony of witnesses called
by the State was not exactly what
was loked for by the assistant pro-
| secutor, and he had to assume a hos
tile attitude toward them. 1t was on
these questions that Carless objected,
! claiming that the prosecutor could
not cross-examine his own witnesses.
The judge overruled him.

Leasing OF Property
of N. J. and P. X. X.
Is Again Adjourned

Vice-Chancellor Stevens again adj
journed the leasing of the property
of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania
Railroad Company today for another
week. For some time the receiver Of
the railroad, Frederick V. Pitney, has
appeared before the court on the APP
plication of a committee of men who
desire to again put the property in
operation.
The matter was held up this morn
ing, because the Public Utility Com
mission of the State has not yet had
an opportunity to examine into the
lease and the capacity OF the men
who want to take the road over
Mr.. Pitney was compelled to aban-
don the operation of the road because
he had not sufficient funds to make
certain alterations and repairs de-
manded by the Utility Commission.
Since then several towns have been
without adequate railroad facilities.
The matter will again come up next
Tuesday.

BLUNDER NOW
MORE EVIDENT
CONTINUED from First Psse.)

der commission government, and the
evaSive attitude of newspapers who
advocate change in government yet
admit that the question is serious
enough to call for a Supreme Court
decis! on.
Corporation Counsel John Milton,
of Jersey City, was most pronounced
in his opinion of the situation yes
terday. He had studied the Hen
messy act carefully and had conferred
with representatives of of Hawkins,
Delafield & Longfel.ow.
THE New York law firm is right"
declared Mr.. Milton. This Hennessy
amendment to the Walsh act will
effect all the harm pointed out. 1t
Is based on a false theory of gov
eminent, and not according to the
understood intention as to how the
bill should be drawn"
This statement containing the es-
sential features of Mr.. Millions COM
ments, was taken as valuable piece
of information by the Orange citi-
zens.
Mr. Milton went further. He said
that Jersey City would be a sufferer
for at least a year because of the
doubtful makeup of the Hennessy
act. 1t will require an act of the
Legislature or decision by the State
Courts to straighten out matters.
The courts might rule that the Hen
messy act did beyond question, tie
up the bonding power of commission
governed municipalities and that
would add to the confusion and hard
ships of an embarrassing situation
There will be no special session of
the Legislature, according to Mr.
Milton as Governor Fielder will not
call one and run the risk of the
advocates of Morris canal abandon
ment getting in their work.
City Counsel Charles e. Bird, of
Trenton, steadfastly maintains that
the Hennessy act is tantamount to g.
repeal of the charters of commission
governed cities, and will advise
against the issuance of improvement
bonds, as the law would not permit it.
He accepts the views of the New York
law firm as sufficient authority for
his course in the matter
1t is pointed out that the Jersey
Journal and Trenton State Ga
zette publications deeply interests d,
hold that things are in a sad mess
and that the courts only can settle
the difficulty. Recourse to the courts
would mean great expense and long
draWn-out litigation. This Is just
what the people of Oranges wish to
avoid, not to court trouble by adopt
ing the troublesome Walsh act and
describing the present safe form of
government.
Why, you can even take the New
ark Evening News" said an Orange
citizen this morning. TT seems to
want to change the government, yet.
in an article yesterday, it was forced
to admit that now that the question
has been raised. the only way out of
it is to bring suit in court and get a
decision. Well. We don't want to go
to court. Ia an editorial, the News
declares that the Hennessy act needs
to be amended to clear all doubts.
Funny ideas, aren't they, when it is
clear that the only wise course for
Orange is to knock out commission
government"
1t was said today that steps might
be taken to question the legality as
well as the property Of Mayor Frank
Murray hiring automobiles to convey
voters to and from the polls.

Mountain View Man Held
for Attempt at Suicide

PATTERSON, April 14.-1saac Di-
yelli, of Mountainview, was commit
ted to the county Jail here by Justice
of the Peace Alexander Orico, yester-
day afternoon, on a charge of at
tempted suicide preferred by S. II.
Keifer, a constable of Wayne town
ship. According to the officer, Di-
velli attempted to take his own life
yesterday morning by cutting his
throat with a razor. He managed to
infiict a deep cash extending almost
from ear to ear, but the quick action
of a physician saved his life. After
being bandaged up by the doctor, the
would-be, suicide was brought to this
city by officer Keifer and will be ex-
amined at the county Jail in order to
ascertain his mental condition.
