New Brunswick, Oct. 15.-James
H. Moran, a former constable, was
convicted yesterday by a jury In
Judge Daly's court of atrocious as
sault and battery upon his nephew
John Farrell, of 220 Washington
street, Perth Amboy, where Moran
formerly resided. The assault took
place shortly after noon on Tuesday,
September 22, and consisted of sew
eral slashes in the side, from pearl

by Moran. In fact, Moran, on the
stand, admitted he had used the
knife, but declared he had done SO
in self defense.
Witnesses for the state, includ-
ing Farrell, the complaining witness,
said that Moran was the aggressor,
and that Farrell had demonstrated
with him because he had called Mrs,
Farrell a bad name. The "call
down" brought on a fist fight, in
which Farrell was too much for his
uncle, who received two black eyes
and a bloody nose. In telling his
own story Moran said that he enter
ed the house after the fist fight,
after being kicked off the porch
twice, and grabbed an axe, with
which to defend himself. The axe
was seized by Mrs. Farrell and
thrown over the fence. Moran then
pulled his pocketknife, with which
he committed the assault. There
had been drinking at the house be-
fore the assault Moran said on
the stand he didn't remember any
details of the assault, except he
pulled out his knift and struck some
blows at Farrell. He didn't know
who seized the axe, with which he
tried to make the first attack

Water department officials say
the water pressure in the northwest

since the shutting off of that section
from the mains and the supplying Of

Mains leading to that section were
shut off by Assistant Superintendent
George Hardiman, of the water de-
partment, yesterday afternoon, at
New Brunswick avenue and Groom
street, sAmboy avenue and Laurie

place, and Johntone street and Hall
avenue. The standpipe is supplied
by a twelve-inch main which flows
continuously The line is fed from
the twenty-four inch main In Market
street connecting with a sixteen-inch
main at New Brunswick avenue and
Mattana street. The twelve-incb
line runs up New Brunswick avenue,
through Convery place, to Brace ave-
nue., to the standpipe. The stand
pipe fills more rapidly at night, when
the draught on the water supply is at
a minimum.

Woodbridge, Oct 15.-Republican
speakers at the organization of g.
| O. P. association In Woodbridge ho-
tel here last night took occasion to
rap Congressman Thomas ]. Scully
upon his alleged inactivity In secur-
ing waterway OF any other improve
ments here. One of the speakers,
Robert Carson, former collector OF
the port Of Perth Amboy, also at
tackled County Clerk Bernard M
Cannon, candidate for reelection on
the Democrats ticket. D. A. Brown
declared thatVthe Sewaren section OF
the township would secure a great
steel plant, were it not for Demo
cratic hard times" A Republican
organization was formed, officers
we're elected and it was decided to
meet in Nelson's hall in the Fords
section tomorrow night to plan for a
big rally in the township, to be held
some time next week.
Mr.. Brown was one of the first
speakers. In declaring that the pres
ent stress of financial depression
was responsible for the failure of the
United States Steel Corporation to
locate In the township, he said that
the war had nothing to do with it.
Mr.. Brown maintained that the deci-

Robert Carson, who halls from
New Brunswick, appeared active in
the ranks of organized Republican
ism. He attacked Congressman
Scully on his waterway record. de-
claring that Mr.. Scully was tool of
President Wilson. He openly chal-
lenged the Democrats to mention
anything that the congressman of
the third district had done, either in
the way of waterway improvement
or anything else. He maintained
that water appropriations for this
section were larger when former
Congressman Howell was In office
than during the term of Mr.. Scully.
So far as Mr.. Gannon's record for
county finances was concerned, Mr.
Carson declared that the budget for
Middlesex has swelled considerably
since he took office, largely because
of the abundance of clerks in his
ofice. He declared that the county
budget In 1903 amounted TO 1884,
800, whereas 1t was now $434,034,

Heavy fighting is in progress east

German troops in Belgium are

The Russian official statement con-

location indicates either the exist
ence of a submarine base In Mcneil

rines. Their range of active opera
tions have been placed at only about

GERMANS CAN'T
.PRESSFORWARD
ON FRENCH SOIL

Special by United Press Wire.
Paris, Oct. 15;-With a Franco
Belgian-British column pushing for-
ward, forcing an acute triangle Of
depression in the line of the German
advance, and the French maintaining
successful offensive along the cen
ter os what now must be considered
the 500 mile front, Paris was opti-
mistic today. Escaping from the Ger.
man encircling movement the allies
have succeeded in delivering a
smashing blow. The fighting along
this line is terrific. Paris expects to
hear of the German occupation Of
Belgium channel forts, but success
which seems to be attending the al
lies offenses will make this occupa-
ton, in the belief here, an empty
victory.
Officials here maintain that the
check so far administered has proved
the German inability to press for
ward along the coast line to French
territory. From semi-official reports
here the battle line across the
Franco-Belgian frontier extends
nearly due north and south. General
Won Beselera's right wing rests on
the North sea, near Blankenbergat,
small city ten miles north of Ostend.
His left reaches to the river Lys six
teen miles east Of Ypres, now held
by the allies. 1t is apparent here
that the battle in this section Is an
endeavor to turn the flank of Won
Beselera's force and insert a wedge
between the columns of this general
and that of General Won Boehm.
