topics about which there has been
discussion is the treatment Of the

ton of most Of the trustees. in too
close proximity to urban influences.

Creditors OF Bayonne institution
Assured by Union Trust of
Full Returns.

BAYONNE, Feb. 5-The offer of
the Union Trust Company of Jersey
City to take over the failed First
accepted by a unanimous vote of the
directors of the last-named institu-
ton.
II will be reopened as a branch of
the Union Trust and the depositors
will be guaranteed full payment of
their savings, receiving about twenty
eight cents on the dollar at the outset
Just when the doors of the bank
will open is problematical, but it is
not likely to be much over two weeks.
The directors last night requested
the federal banking department to
grant ten days extension of time
to the First National to get It's af-
fairs In shape. This extension will
undoubtedly be given In view of the
fact that 1t has been definitely de-
cided that the Union Trust is to as

bank.
Those depositors who withdraw the
proportion of their money (approxi-
mately twenty eight cents on the dol

can be made to make good the deflci-
ency, will lose sum approXimating
$17O 900. in addition to their 100000 of
stock, if the worst comes to the worst,
and it is found that none of the $780,

be collected.

Senator Norris read newspapsr

that attorneys for Morgan & Co. re-
ceived $4,000 for drawing the incors

IF half the information made pub

Senator Borah. Are you not afraid
further investigation may give inn
munity to guilty persons?'
Senator Norris replied that tesu
mony probably could be obtained from
bookkeepers and he had no objection
TO giving them immunity. Senator
Cummins declared, that in his opin-
ion Congress had enough informa-
ton and 1t would do best to busy IL
self with the enactment of proper
laws to prohibit future transactions
than to await further investigation

mission. He insised that the COM

Senator Norris declared he had
great confidence in Chairman FL

everything within his power to re-

Mr.. Borah expressed the opinion
that the attorney general would act,
and referred to the recent agreement
between the department of justice
and the New Haven in which the
government DID not waive its right
to proceed criminally.

SEEKS TO FREE PAIR
HELD FIVE MONTHS
LAWYER Will Ask indictments
Dismissed Unless Men
Are Tried.

An application to dismiss the In
dictments against JOSEF -'ngano and
Antonio Motto, charged with passing
counterfeit money on September 8,
1918, will be made by counsel for the
to trial soon. A statement to this eff
feet was made today by j. Victor
D'Aloia, attorney for Motto.
Both Zingano and Motto have been
incarcerated since September last
They were indicted later. Although
two terms of the United States Dis
trict Court have been held In this
State since the indictments the men
have not been brought to trial.
They have been unable to furnish
the required 5000 bail and as a re-
suit, Zingano's wife and three small
children have been left destitute for
more than FIVE months. Counsel for
the men say the United States district
attorneys office has failed 10 prose
cute the case for lack Of evidence.
The statement issued by Mr.. D'AIois
today is as follows:
Repeated attempts have been made
by me to have a day f1xed for trial

tics, without restriction as to their
mental or physical condition. With
the adoption of this policy 1t should
be kept in mind that additional
facilities must be provided at the
village for the care of those classes
OF epilept 'cs not heretofore received,
namely, the insane, the violent, the
dangerous and the helpless. The re-
port also notes great carelessness on
the part of some of the importing
agencies to file their applications and
secure permission before placing chill
dren here. Mr.. Byers thinks this con-
dition can be improved by increasing
the facilities OF his department, so as
to record, check up and investigate
the operations of outside charitable
and correctional agencies doing busi-
ness in New Jersey.
Another suggestion is for the eua-
ployment Of assistants to investigate
the financial condition Of applicants
for admission OF feeble minded,
epiIeptic, blind and tubercular per-
sons into our institutions. The re-
port suggests that II would be well
for the State to provide, through the
State librarian. for general oversight
in the matter of reading for inmates
of the States institutions. Co-opera-
ton with tne State depdilille VI
education, Forestry Commission and
the Labor Commission is also sug-
gested. The repeal of the act of 1912
that obligates the State to pay to the
counties mainta lining county tuber-
culosis sanitartums at the rate of $S
per week for each inmate is urged.
The report concludes by comment
ing upon the efficiency and loyalty
of the office staff. and hopes that
within the current year 1t may be
possible by an appropriation to recog-
nize this by an appropriate increase
in compensation.

Wescott Urges Judges to
Hasten Criminal Trials

Prosecutor Louis Hood and the Es-
sex county judges received from At
torney- General Wescott toby cir
cuiar-letter jim VIII CHI Is pointed out
the necessity of expediting criminal
proceedings. Judge Martin said he
did not understand the exact meaning
of the communication, and mentioned
that the Essex county courts have
been working day and night rec emily
TO dispose of the business before them.
The letter is as follows:
An important public economy may
be effected by greater expedition in
handling the criminal business of the
State. Sometimes we are not suffi-
GENTLY sensitive to the fact that we
are spending public money. If ac-
curate computation were made, 1t
would appear that every minute of
anachinery of the State involves a
great deal of money, the aggregate of
which would surprise anyone.
Caution and fairness should not be
sacrificed to speed. But large ma
jority of cases are comparatively I'M
important; many of them trifiing. If
such cases are handled with due
promptitude, both before the grand
and petit juries. the result would be
o large saving of money. Often con-
stables and detectives may be wisely
dispensed with. Magistrates in your
county should, by judicious sugges-
ton, be made to see the wisdom of
expedition and economy in the dis
position OF trifiing cases. Jurors
should not be required to attend
court unless actually needed 1t is
unnecessary to say that an earnest
application of these suggestions
would save every year a large sum
of money.
"A similar communication has been
addressed : to each prosecutor and
Quarter Sessions judge of the State.
Our efforts, it is respectfully sub
mitted. should unite In the purpose
to economic and expedite cr:mina,
business. This letter has the warm
approval of Governor Fielder
