Balkan sIAEfES% STATES %|o
WAR ABOUT MAY IS I?
Decisive Victory for Russians
in Carpathians May Set Ball
Rolling, 1t Is Claimed.
By HENRY WOOD,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Nish, Servia, April 13.-By the
middle of May all the Balkan states
may again be plunged into the war
for the third time In less than four
years. This is the information l OBJ
tanned from some of the leading pO-
litical authorities of Servia and
Greece Greece, Bulgaria and Rou-
must inevitably be drawn into the
conflict if it continues much longer
and they will fight on the side of the
allies.
A decisive victory for the Russians
in the present Carpathian fighting
may set the ball rolling. The Bal
kan states have two ends they feel
they must at some time attain. One
is the expulsion for all time of the
Turks from Europe and division
among themselves of European Tur-
key. The other is to take from Aus
tria the provinces of Bukowina and
Pennsylvania. Roumania and Italy,
according to reports in diplomatic
circles, will enter the war simultan-
eously.
For six months secret agreement
Is said to have existed between the
two countries. Roumania's ambi-
tions are to take over Bukowina and
Pennsylvania. Until a month ago
Bulgaria's S intentions were uncertain
The report is heard that Bulgaria, a
month ago, was assured that the al
lies intended to carry operations
against the Dardanelles to sue
cessful conclusion at any cost. Bull
garia then made a tentative agree
ment to send forces into Turkey to
aid in capturing Constantinople.
The entrance of Bulgaria into the
war will remove the principle barrier
that halted Greece. 1t was feared
that Bulgaria would attack Greece,
that kept them out of the war sew
eral weeks ago.

heyed that the attorney general will
proceed with his application before
the full bench.
The defense will ask for the yacat-
ing of the order of Justice Bergen on
four principal points, forming its
grounds for appeal from the justice s
decision. (1) The defense will con-
tend that the state had all the time
necessary to ask for a foreign Jury
before the drawing of the petit Jury
for the April term and the selection
of the panel from which the murder
jury was to have been drawn W
That Justice Bergen alone had no
power or authority to make the order
directing a venire to the sheriff of
Mercer county for the selection of a
panel from which to draw the mur-
der jury, and that if the issuance of
such order were in his province the
required facts necessary to give him
jurisdiction were not presented. (3)
That the defendants would be great
ly prejudiced in the preservation Of
their rights by the limiting of the
number of peremptory challenges to
five in case of a foreign jury. (4)
That the order for the drawing of the
foreign jury was directed to the
sheriff of Mercer county alone, and
not to the jury commission of that
county, making it unfair to the de-
PENDANTS because II ignores the chan
cellorjury act providing for the Sc
lection of petit juries by the sheriff
and a jury commissioner

To APPEAL To HAVE ORDER
FOR MERCER JURY VACATED
Stricken Serves Notice on AtOT ney General That He VIII AppN
to Full Bench Of Supreme Court Thursday to Have Set
Aside Order That Foreign Jury Should be Drawn TO Try the
Strike Deputies Who are Now in County Jail.

Determined to settle the question
as to the introduction of a foreign
jury to try the indicted deputies
in the county jail on murder
charges as promptly as possible, so
that their trials may be accelerated,
Joseph E. Stricken, counsel for the
defense, served notice on Attorney
General Wescott today that he would
apply to the full bench of the su-
preme court Thursday to have vacat-
ed the order of Justice James ]. Ber-
gen given April 8, which directed
the sheriff of Mercer county to select
Venire from which a murder jury
for the trial of the deputies" should
be drawn.
The defense assumed the initiative
after being served with a notice yes
terday from Attorney General Wes-
colt, stating that the state prosecutor
would apply to the full bench of the
supreme court for an order such as
given by Justice Bergen April %, a
week later than the time the defense
had been informed the application
would be made. If the supreme
court, which will sit in Trenton
Thursday, refuses to vacate the or
der Of Justice Bergen, it may cause
the attorney general to withdraw his
application to the full bench to be
heard April %.
Will Proceed to Full Bench.

Prosecutor of Monmouth Co.
Lawrence, Named to Sue
Ceed Him on Bench.
,peoiql to the EVENING NEWS.

OUtCIuE " tUO u CIV A4 VI ~ ~ W ~
Trenton, April 13.-Governor
Fielder made another surprise ap-
pointment last night, when he sent to
the senate the nomination of County
Judge John w. Slocum, Democrat,
of Monmouth, as public utility COM
missioner to succeed Thomas J. Hill
lery. Republican. The term is six
years and the salary $500.
This appointment makes the util-
ity board entirely Democratic, the
other members being Ralph w. E.
Donges, of Camden, who is the presi-
dent, and John ]. Treacy, of Jersey
City. 1t is the first time the utility
board has been entirely partisan in
its makeup, and there has ALREADY
been some criticism of the governor
for selecting a Democrat, on this &C
count. The Democrats, however.
point out that when the old railroad
commission, the predecessor of the
utility board, was created in 1907
it was composed of three Republi-
cans, namely, General Joseph w.
Congdon, of Paterson; Edmund Will
son, of Red Bank, and Borden d.
Whiting, of Newark. They were all
named by Governor John Franklin
Fort, a Republican.
The original railroad commission
made Alfred N. Barber, Republican,
of Trenton, its secretary, and he has
been retained ever since. When the
utility board succeeded the railroad
commission, Mr.. Barber had been
such a valuable secretary that he was
kept in office. There was some talk
today that the appointment of Judge
Slocum to the board might mean a
change in the secretaryship and the
selection of a Democrat.
Judge Slocum was formerly sena-
tor from Monmouth county and
early in this session of the legisla-
ture Governor Fielder appointed him
judge of the court Of common pleas
of Monmouth, and he was tmmedi-
ately confirmed by the senate.
The governor appointed r. v.
Lawrence, prosecutor of Monmouth
county, as judge of the Court of
Common Pleas of that county, to sue
ceed Judge J. w. Slocum, who last
night was made public utility COM
missioner. Mr.. Lawrence is Demo-
crat. The governor also made these

Pending the receipt and considera-
tion of data concerning larger sites,
the city will establish public park
ing place at the southwest corner OF
New Brunswick avenue and Fayette
street, according to action taken at
an adjourned meeting of the Board
of Aldermen last night. Permission
was given the committee on public
grounds and buildings to proceed
and expend not more than $500 for
the grading of the land In question,
sowing of grass seed and such other
vegetation as may be desired, to-
gether with the installation of park
benches. Chairman Chris Jorgensen,
of the special park committee, re-
ported progress and the council was
informed by letter from the Board
of Water Commissioners that they
would turn the former water works
property in upper Smith street over
to the Boad of Aldermen for such
use as it may decide upon.

tatives of the northwestern section

taken and when they noted what was
being done, they expressed approval.
Mr.. Petersen stated after the meet
ing that the completion of the Con-
very place bridge and the establish
ment of one or two parks in the
section, the city would
be benefited two fold. He concluded
that they were two big items most
