WARNS AGAINST
POLICE INFLUENCE
IN SHOOTING CASE
Chief Justice Charges Jury in
Case of Policeman Who
Killed Youth.

Warning them against allowing any
member of the police department to
influence them, Chief Justice Cum
mere charged the members of the
new grand jury today, asking spe-
cifically that they indict Patrolman
Herman Schuman, of the First pre-
cinct, for murder or manslaughter
for shooting Joseph Buhl, a Nutley
youth, on New Years eve in this city.
After laying emphasis on the mat
ter of influence, the chief justice de-
livered what was considered by those
who heard him a threat to deal Sc.
verely with anyone who attempts to
bring any pressure to bear on the
jurors.
Before charging the jury the mem
bers were sworn in. and Edward M
Waldron, a building contractor, was
selected by the court TO act as fore
man. Franklin II. Halliday was the
only member of the inquest as drawn

as a nonresident. Without Mr.. Hal

unusual occurrence under the new
jury law.

BREAD FAMINE IN
i. S. IMPOSSIBLE,
EXPERT ASSERTS
Dr.. Estabrook, of Dept. of Agri.
culture, Gives Figures to
Quiet Fear of Shortage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-A bread
famine in the United States Is almost
an economic impossibility. even
though increased exports of wheat IA
Europe seem to thre aten our domes-
tic supply. This was the declarati N
today of DIR. l.. NJ. Estabrook, statis-
tician of the department of agricul-
ture.
DR.. Estabrook asserted that future
orders of American millers and bakers
which are being placed constantly
throughout the year will insure 4oT
the United States an adequate supply
of flour, even though export of Amer
lean grain send wheat prices up to
the tabled SO a oushel mark.
I'VE have figured out" he said,
that the United States normally has
between 250,000,000 and 800, 900, 900 bush
els of wheat for export. The bumper
wheat crop of the United States,
which was practically 90O, 900, 900 nish-
els. has had the effect of slightly
raising this export maximum, there
by allowing the United States % ex-
port larger amount than usual
Nevertheless, the American miller
and the American banker have an
even chance with European buyers,
and it is only reasonable to assume
that they are taking steps, in view
of the recent heavy exports, to safe
guard the domestic reserve from
which they must draw their supply.
Elevators Hold Millions of Bushels.
These millers and bakers have
placed orders for immediate and fu-
ture delivery all through the fall and
winter They have stored millions
of bushels in elevators. This will
never see Europe. The present hold
ers of grain have received orders for
future delivery of wheat to these
American millers at prices based on
the market value of wheat at tho
time of delivery. This wheat there
fore, whether delivered in January,
February or March, will command
from the millers the market price at
the time of delivery.
when wheat is being sold the
seller, collectively speaking, has no
preference concerning the buyer just
so long as the buyer is willing to meet
the market price. The American
miller, therefore, is meeting the Euro
pean buyer on even terms and can
command his own supply of wheat
just as readily as the European buyer
demands his export supply and more
readily perhaps than the European
buyer can command more than the
safe export maximum.
"The only possible way for the flour
supply of the United States TO be
curtailed is through a theoretical and
economically impossible situation
whereby practically all the grain men
would enter into a conspiracy to sell
American wheat only for export
Such a situation is absurd, but if it
should be attempted Congress would
step in and legislate against it"

This method was adopted by the

said, but was discarded by Mayors

being that, while it furnished the

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Drawlng a
vivid picture of labor being slowly
crushed by the steadily increasing
power of concentrated wealth,
Samuel Untermeyer, former attorney
for the money trust" investigating
committee, today called upon the
government through the Federal
Commission on Industrial Relations
TO aid the workers.
"Ihe trades unions and workers o..
ganiZations are gradually growing
weaker" he said. To such an extent
has wealth been concentrated in a
few hands that all capital is now ar
rayed against labor in a bitter but
nevertheless unequal struggle.
I'VE need laws to project the
worker and to curb the power of the
corporations. We need government
insurance against sickness, unem-
ployment and accidents. We need a
whole comprehensive system of social
reform. Labor hasn't had sqilaI @
deal. We're a generation behind
Europe in looking after the man who
tolls"
Untermeyer was the first witness In
the commissions inquiry into the
concentration of wealth and infiu-
ence on public thought and public
policies, with specific reference to the
Rockefeller, Sage and other big
foundations.
The large charitable foundations
Mr.. Untermeyer thought, were ably
, managed and did much good. He be.
lieved, however, that they should bt
reorganized and should operate under
Federal charters rather than under
charters granted by the States
! Speaking of the concentration o.
money, Mr.. Untermeyer said he knew

roads, had come into the control OF
100000 miles of railroads in the United
States. When such a situation ex-
lists, the witness said, the sharehold-
ers will have no power at all in the
management of the roads. The direc-
tors and trustees were controlled en-
tirely by the banks.
Mr.. Untermeyer said he thought
labor conditions in America had been
more or less demoralized and that
poverty had been increased by the d.
version of cash in certain directions
THE illicit gathering of large guam
titles of money undoubtedly has
caused considerable poverty" he said
ut is true, however, that in the past
few years this condIUon has not been
SO bad. The concentration of power
and capital of any kind is grossly un-
fair to labor" Mr.. Walsh questioned

commissioner, that certain large
financial interest did not control the
company because it only held 40 per
cent. of the stock"
"That is preposterous," replied the
witness. 1.-THE stock is listed on the
exchange and many shares are in the
hands of brokers. 1t would be neces-
sary for a large financial interest to
have but 10 per cent. of the stock.
