men trying to Jimmy" their way
into a vacant house next door. and
telephoned to police headquarters.
Three times detectives tried to take
an impression of any Characteristic
marks on Smiths finger, but each
time they failed. His skin is abso-
lutely smooth. The detectives be-
lieved that with the prospect of a
possible arrest, Smith treated his
fingers with powerful acid that

SAYS THERE ARE NO
EXPERT FARMERS
Witness Tells Court He Car
Teach the Whole Trade in
Fifteen Minutes.

expert farmer! There's no such
thing" was the testimony of j. c.
Melig before Vice-Chancellor Stevens
in Chancery Court today. The wit
ness was produced as an expert on
things agricultural.
Experience in farming" he
laughed. mo experience is necessary
to be a farmer. could teach man
all there is to be know in fifteen min
utes.'
The suit in which Melig was testi-
flying was brought by Frank A. Bal
lentine against Archibald Macarthur
and his wife, Nellie F. Macarthur, to
foreclose a mortgage on Kearny
property, which was offered to secure
payments on a farm the defendants
bought from Ballentine in Bedmin-
ster, Somerset county.
Ballentine sold the farm, including
the stock, to the defendants for S1S,500.
There was $1,000 paid in cash, note
given for $3.50 for four months an
other note for the same amount for
eight months and a third note for $500,
payable twelve months from date, be-
sides two mortgages, one for $1,000
and the other for $1,000, on the farm.
There was also a chattel mortgage on
the cattle.
In the cross bill the defendants
charged Ballentine misrepresented
conditions when he made the sale;
that instead of bringing an income
of 10 per cent. the farm was a fail
ure that instead of $1S,500 the farm
was only worth $500 and that he de-
ceived them as to the production of
the farm.
They ask that Ballentine refund to
them the $1,000 cash and deliver for
cancellation all promissory notes and
mortgages mentioned in the trans
action.
Melig had been produced to prove
it was not due to any inexperience
on the part of the McArthurs that
the farm didn't pay.
He was most positive in his terms
concerning experience needed by a
farmer. He wouldn't tell how long
it took him to learn his trade"
though.
Then you think that a person
could take a thorough course in agri-
culture in fifteen minutes?" asked
Attorney Case for the complainant.
About that, with ten minutes
thrown in for extras" he answered.
Decision in the case was reserved.

'ARMERS INTEND
/ TO FILE MARKET
PLACE PROTEST
lecIare Aldermen Showed No
Consideration in Contract
Arrangements.

A meeting for the purpose of making
protest has been called by thos'
armers who come into this city Il
ell their produce at Centre Market
hey are sindignant because of lacl
IL consideration in the matter Of
proper facilities.
It Is claimed that the counclmanic
market committee went ahead with
he contract for the rebuilding oil
centre Market without granting the
aarmers a hearing. The farmers ex-
sect that they win be forced out of
he market square at Commerce street
Is a result of the construction work
that already has been started. The
protest meeting VIII be held tomorrow
night. It is expected that about 400
farmers will attend.
During the last week the farmers
have been considering just what
course to pursue.
When the farmers were seen along
Commerce street today they were
reticent about all their plans, but 1t
was said that lawyer has been en-
gagged to bring the matter to a head.
It is also a prevalent report that the
farmers, II necessary, will combine
and purchase or lease a site for them
selves for an open market.
Herman Reuben, who declares that
be represents about seventy-f1ve per
cent of the farmers doing business in
Newark, is .incensed at the delay, and
today stated that something win be
DOING at the meeting tomorrow night.
I'VE do not know just where we
stand" he added. During the past
several weeks the members of the
market committee have promised to
cqve us an idea as to where We are
10 assemble, but so far there has been
no Information received"
MI. Reuben said that II the people
NJ n ewark and vicinity desire that
the cost Of vegetables should soar
higher the market committee should
Keep the farmers from place to dis
pose Of their products.
Or TUESDAY night a committee from
the farmers met the market commit
fpe. After the session a report was
,lrevalent thar all differences were
s.patehed up" This was denied this
morning by Mr.. Reuben and his as
sociates.
According to the statements Of Reu-
ben. Alderman CtTran told the farm
ers he would do Ri in his power TO
bring about the changes as advo-
Gated by the farmers. but to date no
anparent action has been taken.
About twelve of the leading farm
ers at the Commerce street market
held a conference ON the subject. All
were loud in their criticisms of the
market committee.
Rudolph Lott, Frank Berger and L.
c. Conrad, other farmers, backed
up Reuben's statements.
AS a result of the present condi-
tons, it seems that the farmers may
be turned out OF their present quar-
ters without many days notice, and
cannot look for any one place to dis
pose of their vegetables.

CHARGES PLOT TO
|NC|TE REBELLION
Russian Party Leader Accused
of Disturbing Subjects
of Hungary.

BUDAPEST. Hungary. Feb. e.
Russia will not demobilize her army
until the Russian flag floats over the
Carpathian mountains" This was
one of the startling statements at
tributed to Count Vladimir Bobrin-
sky, president of the Russian consti-
tutional conservative party, and
leader of the Pan Slavic movement
In Russia, when the trial was re-
sumed today at Marmoros -Sziget of
ninety-four Ruthenians charged with
melting rebellion against the Aus
tro-Hungarian government.
Duliskovics, a detective who was
called to give evidence of Pan-Slavic
activities in Hungary, quoted the
sensational phrase from Count Bo-
brinsky. Duliskovics had been spe-
cially commissioned to investigate the
alleged proceedings of the Rutheni-
ans. II got into touch with Count
Bobrinsky," he said, land the count
entrusted me with the task of en-
listing the services of educated Ru-
thenians, who were to join the Rus
sian orthodox church, and, after
having been trained. were to return
to Hungary to push the Pan-Slavic
propaganda among their compatri-
OTIS. Count Bobrinsky gave me $1,000
to induce deputy of the lower house
of the Hungarian parliament to in
terpellate the government on the
petition of the Ruthenians.
While / was in Russia ! was I'M
der the protection of Count Bobrin-
sky. I travelled free and was ex-
empted from the passport regula-
tions. Count Bobrinsky had plenty
of funds at his disposal for the Pan
Slavic propaganda
Count Bobrinsky, who Is member
of the Russian Duma, was immedi-
ately called to the witness stand,
where he emphaticaly denied that he
ever made the discriminating state
ment attributed to him, He admitted
acquaintance with Dullskovics, but
said his confidential agents had
warned him against the detective.
The court gave Count BobrinslSy per-
mission to return to Russia when he
had concluded his testimony.
The trial has been in progress since
December 20. The principal defend
ant is Father Aiexius, of Mount
Athos. Great political interest has
been aroused throughout Europe by
the proceedings.
