LEWIS PROPOSES
SALES DAY HERE
REPORTS ON THE FAMOUS CALD-
WELL SALES DAYS, AND REC
OMMENDS THE PLAN
Committee Has Matter in Charge, And
Plans Well Under Way For Launch
ing Project Here

The inauguration of a monthly OF
semimonthly sales days in Moscow
similar to those so successfully conduct
ed in Caldwell, was proposed today al
the Chamber of Commerce luncheon
by NJ. e. Lewis who has made care
full study of the subject. The mater
is in the hands of the committee on &
griculture land it is expected that plans
will be fully developed and that the
project will be launched in the very
near future. The plan provides time,
place, and facilities for the farmers to
bring in their stock, produce, surplus
tools, vehicles, furniture and other ar
ticles they wish to sell, and at tho
same time provides an opportunity for
them to buy what others wish to sell.
Mr.. Lewis reported at some length
his findings in the Investigations he
made recently at Caldwell where he at
tended two of the sales. He said in
part, THE Caldwell sales were start
ed about seven years ago by the Com
mercial Club, which financed and man
aged them for year and half, dur
ing which time no charge was made for
selling. The expense to the club was
about $3.50 per month.
For some years now the sales have
been handled by firm of auctioneers
and commissions of per cent on live
stock and 2 per cent on other things
are charged. The sales are held twice
a month and are entirely farmers
sales. They have become largely the
farmers clearing house for their sur
three thousand people from all parts Of
the county and from great distances
come to the sales, and the articles Of
fered for sale include all kinds of stock.
surplus tools and vehicles, furniture,
and produce.
"On sales days, the merchants of the
town put on special sales of merchan-
disc including groceries, clothing, dry
goods, hardware, and so-forth, and the
bargains offered attract many peo-
pie.
Horse sales are held separately
from the general sales, and at the sale
| attended between 1000 and 1900
horses were sold, many for eastern
markets, and for export. The total
sales amounted to over 100000, about
half of which came into the country
from foreign sales. -.
II can say without exageration that
these sales have been the great single
factor of Caldwell's prosperity. One
of the direct results has been to make
the Caldwell country great stock and

"The sales day enterprise should be
started at once and carried on by the
Chamber of Commerce; and should be
by the merchants and peo-
pie of Moscow

LACKING FOOD
MAN ENDS LIFE
AGED RECLUSE FOUND DEAD IN
HIS CABIN SIX MILES NORTH
EAST OF TROY
Believed He Suffered From Starvation
And Hastened Death by Carb0lic
Acid Route

That George c. Brown, an aged re-
cluse who was found dead last Sunday
in his board shack on lonely timber
claim six miles northeast of Troy, hav-
ing been racked with starvation and
poverty, hastened the end by swallow
ing a dose of carbolic acid with suicid-
al intent, was the opinion of Under
taker Steltz who prepared the body for
burial today.
Coroner McCartor had been summon
ed to the place Sunday and after ex-
animation it was determined he had
been dead some four or five days
There were no marks of violence on
the body and no evidence of foul play
so no inquest was held. Mr.. McCart n
stated today the aged man had un-
since not an ounce of food was found in
the cabin, neither was there a penny
on the place The man was about 20 TO
60 years Of age and had been in that
vicinity for nine years. He is supposed
to have come from Ohio, but there was
no trace about the place that would i'll
dicate whether or not he had relatives.
Neighbors reported that he had not
been seen about his place for some
time and at Troy where he was in the
habit of getting his mail, he had not
called there for several months The
remains will be inferred in the potter's
field.

HE FINALLY AGREES
 TO INSTALL ESCAPES
But Joseph Says He Has Owned House Twenty-Five Years and Never
 Had Fire.

Joseph Diziek. who owns property at lO6 Grove street, was before Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning charged with a violation of the law in not having his building equipped with proper fire escapes. Di ziek proved a most unsatisfactory person to reason with and he jauntilv told the court that his building had been standing twenty-five years and as yet had never been burned down, so he guessed fire escapes were not needed.
 Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford testified that the building is three story affair and is occupied by six tenants. Sergeant Bamforth testified that eleven people live on the third floor and have but one stairway for means of escape. After threat of a severe penalty the owner finally de- cided that he would have fire escapes installed and was given until January 3 to do it.
 Peter Mongondas, until o'clock this morning employed at the City Coal and Wood company, was fined 'S3 and costs for drunkenness and as- saulting Douglass Johnson The ac- cused insisted that he was sick MT. Johnston said the man came in half drunk this morning and made him self objectionable, so he elected him. In the yard he hit MT. Johnston in the face and his arrest followed.
 A fine of S3 for drunkenness and $5 for breach of the peace was inn posed on Adam Konminski of Shelf field street. He was placed on proba- tion. Hc told the court he was sent out yesterday to get some whiskey and a case of beer for Christmas, but got into trouble. His stepdaughter said he assaulted her and her husband and Emedy Tanguay testified that he. too. saw the fracas.
