RETURNED TO ASSEMBLY

Senator Edge is again Acting Gov

to the Newark Evening News he is
reported as saying:
"Various names have been suggest
ed as possible Assembly candidates,
but it is my judgment and advice that
no issue whatever be made of it and
that both MI. Godfrey and Mr.. Whit

some people think we do. On the
contrary we are very happy and con-

Steamship Traffic
CausesCLose Down
of Night Sections
MILLS OF NEWMAN COMPANY UN.
ABLE TO TRANSPORT PROD
UCTs ABROAD.

Owing to the almost complete de-
moralization of ocean steamship
freight traffic, making it practically
impossible for American manufactur-
ers to supply the wants of European
countries, announcement was made to-
day that the night forces of the ]. J..
Newman Lumber Company's mills at
Hattiesburg and Sumrall, will be laid
off for the time being.
1t is confidently expected by the Of
ficials of the Newman Company that
the lay off will last but few
weeks at the most. The order
for the shutdown on the night forces
is effective Immediately. 1t was not
unexpected on the part of either the
officials or the employees, and it has
been practically impossible for the
company to get it's products to the
foreign markets for weeks.
The order effects about 200 men at
the Hattiesburg plant, while only the
small mile at Sumrall. the night force
of which is about 80 men strong, will
be laid off.
Explaining the cause of the temper
ary closing today, w. j. Haynen, gen.
eral manager Of the Newman concern,
said: 1--WE have car load upon carload
of material on our yards and in our
sheds, all ready for shipping, but no
way in which to transport it. The
war has SO seriously effected freight
traffic on the ocean liners that 1t is
with the utmost difficult that vessels
can be obtained.
shipping freight to Europe has
practically been suspended, and for the
last several days, matters have become
worse. We now have unusually large
orders on hand, ready to fill, if we can
only find some way of getting the lum-
ber to the purchasers.
1--WE hope that the shut down will
be Of but short duration, although 1t
is impossible to predict how long the
night runs will be discontinued"
1t is said that owing to the shortage
Of men in England at this time, it is
impossible to unload the big freight
boats plying between this country and
the British Isles. 1t often requires 25
to 80 days to unload one vessel. This
means that what few vessels still are
in service, are tied up for indefinite
periods, awaiting unloading. There
are fewer empty boats in service,
adapted for lumber expectation now
than ever before. This number Is
growing smaller every day. Lumber
authorities say that until this condi-
tion is improved, the entire industry
must feel the effects.

BURNED
AND FAMILY ROUTED
HOME OF v. A. DENNIS DESTROY
ED AND OCCUPANTS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE.

Fire shortly after 2:3O o'clock this
morning, completely destroyed the
residence of V. A. Dennis, on Concart
street, routed the occupants of the
building from their beds, and forced
them into the streets in a semi-clad
condition.
Before the arrival of the firemen,
the building was wrapped in flames,
and 1t was impossible to save it.
The cause of the fire has not been
determined. The entire roof was
ablaze when Mr.. Dennis was awak-
ened. He partly dressed and rushed
to the street, shouting for some one
to turn in the alarm. 1t was several
minutes before the department was
called. When the firemen reached
the building, they tried to assist in
saving the contents of the first floor.
They had but little success. A vest
containing 500 bill had been left
on the bed by Mr.. Dennis, which was
burned.

Officially Stated
NO NEW AWARDS YET MADE BY
ENGLISH RAILWAY
COMBINE.

The matter of awarding the contract
for the remaining part of the 49,000,-
goo feet railroad cross tie order for
the English railway syndicate, a por-
lion of which already has been landed
ly the j. j. Newman Lumber Company,
of this city, is still in allegiance, it
became known today.
Reports from Moss Point that the
L. N. Dantzler Lumber Company, of
that place, had been awarded a con-
tract for supplying 100000 feet of
this timber, were erroneous, it was
stated today.
While the Moss Point concern has
received orders for that amount, it
will be supplied to the Great Eastern
Railway, of England, which is not con-
nected with the railroad syndicate
which asked for the big order.
1t is explained that a majority of
the big English railways formed a
committee of the whole, and asked for
| bids from American manufacturers
for the 100000 feet of sleepers for
their systems. The Great Eastern de-
clined to enter the pool. and asked
for bids independently of the others
The Dantzler order was received in
this way.

concerning the big order will become
known by the middle of the coming
