Apparently, it is not generally
known that it is against the law
to sell intoxicants to a man who
is drunk. There are liquor deal
ers who refuse to sell intoxicated
men. Such dealers are the best
men in the business. Moreover
they realize that if other dealers
were as careful as themselves,
the business would not be skat-
ing on the thin ice of prohibition.

The entire number of men that re-
ported were placed to work. More

Chief Engineer Morris Sherrerd says.
The laborers will be somewhat ham,
pered for a time because of the in

Jersey Central railroad tracks with
vehicles. AS soon as a temporary
crossing can be made a larger num-
ber of men can be employed.
The members of the army of unem-
ployed, whose representatives called

head off DeVito before he reached
the ground When the lad had
reached point about a dozen feet

DR.. K|DDER FREED
OF GIRL S CHARGE
Court Sustains Bayonne Pas
tors "Frame-Up" Claim, De-
spite Her Testimony.

BAYONNE. Feb. s-Recorder Hugh
H. Mara today dismissed the case
against Rev. DIR. Scott Kidder. pastor
of St Johns Episcopal Church, Of
this city, who was accused by sixteen
year-old Ethel Paine, daughter of one
of his parishioners, with forcing his
attentions upon her.
DIR. Kidder declared that the charge
was an attempt to injure him in the
eyes of his parish and the community,
because of personal animosity on the
part of the Paine family. The court
was inclined to believe him, and or
dered the case dismissed after the
Paine girl had admitted she went
through fareical prayer to give DIR.
Kidder a chance to fondle her, so de-
tectives concealed in the room could
arrest him. He was represented by
Robert H. McCarter. of Newark, for
mer attorney general of the State.
Ethel Paine, a pretty child, well de-
veloped for her age, was the first wit
ness. She was examined by Assist
ant Prosecutor James Mccarthy. The
girl swore that on several occasions
at the church and in his study the
minister fondled her despite her pro-
tests.
On January 26, she said. her moth
er went to bed and pretended to be
ill and DIR. Iidder was sent for. He
came to the house and prayed at the
bedside of Mrs. Paine. Then he went
into the dining-room, and there, the
girl said, he took her on his lap and
caressed her. She broke away from
him and he followed her around the
room.
Mr.. McCarter was unable to break
down the girls direct accusations
He got her to admit that she and
her mother and her grandmother had
talked over the plan to get the min
lister to the house and had explained
the plan to Police Captain Griffin.
Captain Griffin swore that he saw,
from bathroom, through crack in
the door, all the happenings that had
been described by Ethel as having
taken place in the dining-room. The
time was s o'clock in the evening.
The dining-room was lighted

CANAL TOLL PLANK
UNW|SE' WILSON
President Says Platforms
Should Be Limited TO Do
mestic Questions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-President
Wilson LET it be known today that,
from the first. he regarded as an un-
wise policy the insertion in the DEM
oeratie national platform of the plank
favoring the exemption of American
coastwise ships from the payment OF
Panama Canal tolls.
The President feels that platform
declaration on such a subject is re-
lated to circumstances that arise all
over the world as well as in the
United States, and that only the ele-
ment which the United States can
control in the situation ought to be
binding. He feels that change or
circumstances has arisen in the in-
ternational aspect of the situation,
which, necessarily, would change tho
attitude of the American government
and the attitude OF the country on
the subject.
Mr. Wilson told callers today that
the whole international situation
and the point of view of foreign gov
ernments was to some extent in
volved in the settlement of the con-
troversy. He intimated that platform
declarations should be limited to mat
ters of domestic policy, and should
not embrace relations with foreign
governments.
The President told callers he did not
intend to send a message TO Congress
on the subject of Panama tolls: that
he felt his attitude had been sufficieux-
" made clear In a recent letter to,
William L. Marbury, of Baltimore. He
expects Congress to repeal the tofjs
provision during the present session
and may confer soon with Repre<onfa<
ative Adamson. of the Ho1se cok1I
1nerce committee. which would hAx11
charge Of such legislation.

STEEL COMPANIES
BUY BIC TRACTS
ON JERSEY SHORE
Plan to Make This State the
Manufacturing Centre for
That Product.

An immense project for the estab-
lishment of chain of iron and steel
plants along the shores of New Jer-
sey and Staten Island. which is to
make this the greatest steel-produc-
ing section in the world, has been set
afoot. That is the announcement
made yesterday by DR.. Edward Ewing
Pratt, head Of the industrial bureau
of the Merchants Association of New
York. Great tracts of land in New
Jersey arc reported as having been
purchased for that purpose by a num-
Der of capitalists.
The first step in the naturalization
of this plan has been taken by the
Witherbee- Sherman Company, of
Pittsburgh, which has an option on
160 acres at Boynton Beach and Sc
warren. between Perth Amboy and
Elizabethport. On this site, now a
well-known summer resort, the COM
pany intends to erect two blast fur
naces with a capacity of 400 tons a
day each. This plant will be the larg-
est east of Pittsburgh. The option
expires March l.
1t has been estimated that the best
iron and finest steel can be produced
In the vicinity of New York at a saw
ing of at least s. per ton, DR.. Pratt
stated. In addition to that. the cost
of transportation will be greatly re-
duced and labor obtained with greater
ease than at Pittsburgh. Another
favorable feature of the location is
the cheapness of the scrap iron in the
market of New York and its sur
roundings Scrap iron and scrap
steel can be purchased here at price
50 or $3.50 less per ton than in Pitts
burgh
DR. Pratt also stated that it was the
belief of those who have been study
ing the problem for years that the
large tract of land purchased by
Charles M Schwab, near the stan
dard Oil Company's plant, in Bayonne,
will be utilized by him for the erec-
ton of blast furnaces for the manu-
facture of armor plates and plants for
the manufacture of structural iron.
The belief is borne out by the fact
that he has purchased rolling mill
outfit in Staten Island.
1t is figured that ere from Lake
Superior can be transported to the
plants in New Jersey at a saving of
at least fifty cents on a ton. 1t has
been learned that American, French
and English capitalists have been
making purchases of about 5000 acres
near Sparkill and Piermont. N. y,
for the manufacture of the by-prod-
ucts of coal. Although nothing definite
is known, these purchases have been
attributed to the Westinghouse or
General Electric Company. Iron and
steel interests are said to be behind
a movement to have the State of New
Jersey revoke the 999-year lease which
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has of the Delaware and Raritan Ca

TRIAL IN DEATH OF
MAN UNDER CAR
Chester A. Lowell Charged With
Manslanghter for Killing
Terence Cunning.

Chester A. Lowell, the motorman of
a trolley car that is alleged to have
killed Terence j. Cunning on South
Tenth street on the night of January
IL, 1913, was placed on trial on a
charge of manslaughter in the Court
of Quarter Sessions before Judge
william p Martin and a jury to-
day. The case will go TO the jury
this afternoon.
Lovell's car, 1t is charged, struck
Cunning while he was standing part
ly on the rails near the end of the
South Tenth street line at Twelfth
avenue. Cummings body was caught
in the fender of the car, dragged for
two blocks and then left dying in the
street He died the next day in the
City Hospital.
At the time Cunning met his death
he was employed as a caretaker in
Fairmount Cemetery. The night of
the accident the employees of the
cemetery were having time" in a
saloon on South Orange avenue, and
Cunning was among them.
The witnesses for the State testified
that the car was going at good rate
of speed and struck the victim as he
tried to look for the approach of a car
in another direction. The defense's S
claim was that Cunning was intoxi-
Gated and negligently stepped in front
of the car. Several men who were
drinking with Cunning said that when
they had left him he was drunk. Mrs.
Laura Penierro said she had seen him
lurch in front of the car, but did not
think at the time that he had been hit.
Later, she found pieces of bacon and
other provisions strewn about the
track These We're the contents of
bundle heAwas carrying. she thought.
Although she believed he had been
injured, she did not give any alarm,
she averred, until she got home,
when she told her family.
Cunning lived at 1856 Spruce street
previous to his death. He was forty
one years old, and left widow and
