Who May Be Next Secretary of State.

will be named. Mr.. Martin, it was
learned, will choose as his assistant
William L. Dill, secretary of the
Democratic State Committee, clerk of
the minority in the Senate and
member of the Passaic County Tax
Board. Mr.. Dill will succeed Job Fl.
Lippincott, commissioner of motor
vehicles, whose term as assistant sec

brought an extra large number of
politicia ny~to the State House from
ali sections of New Jersey. There
was speculation on all sides as to the
possible successor of Mr.. Crater.
The naIne of Thomas +. Martin, of
TJudson. minority leader in the House,
was mentioned most prominently.
The possibility of Mr.. Martins selec-
tion is good, for the reason that MIR.
Martin has stood by the governor
throughout all legislative matters.
Then, too, there is close friendship
between them, and 1t is known that
Governor Fielder has high regard
for Mr.. Martin, both as legislator
and as an executive.
MIR. Martin was disinclined TO dis
c,,ss the matter today.

asked by a representative of the Eve

IT don't think so" he replied.
.'Why those views?" he was asked.
''Oh, 1t wouldn't be my luck" he
replied.
The thought has occurred that
should Mr.. Martin be named secre-
tary of state 1t would place in
jeopardy the successful fight that has
been waged against the Morris Canal
abandonment bills. Mr.. Martin, who
led the fight when the bill was up

POLICE. OFFICERS.
ANSWER ORDER
OF DEMOT|0N
Say They May Be Dropped
from Force by Such
Action.

The nine lieutenants and nine SER
geants of police, whom the Police
Board seeks 10 reduce in rank, filed
their answers to the order at the
meeting of the board this afternoon
Z he briefs had been prepared hy for
mer City Attorney Frank Z. BradneI
and John w. Mcclellan, jr., their
counsel
The answer of Lieutenants. James
r. O'Neil John J. Kellett, James Far
rell and Casper w. Gray, which are
the same for ell, have two reasons
which cover the defence Of the men
in a special way.
The first claim is that the numbe.
of lieutenants in the department ia
not a larger number of such officers
than is necessary for the efficient
management of the present police
force and that any diminution of the
said number Is not necessary nor
advisable measure Of economy in the
said department.
The second claim is that there is
legal doubt that IL an officer is de-
NOTED under the civil service law,
whether he is not entirely removed
from the department by the said de-
motion. On this point counsel for the
men asked the commissioners to de-
Iiberate very carefully.
A point which is further brought
up by Ave lieutenants outside of ths
first two which is general for then
all is that the remaining five undel
the rules of the department are en-
titled to pension of one-half of theii
yearly salary OF $1,000 because they
are past fifty years of age and have
been members of the department FOL
twenty years.
The men so situated are Harry e
SIittman. Patrick Durl<in, Andrew J
Mckinney, Michael J. Tully and Pat
rick Farley.
Michael Tully formally applied tc
be retired on a pension OF half his
salary as lieutenant.

Potatoes Make Big
Jump In Price, Due
To European War
Newark Wholesalers Paying
Four Cents More Per
BusheI Today.

The price Of potatoes took a jump
in Newark today. The increase has
generally been attributed to the
extra demand for the vegetables by
the belligerent European nations.
Extra large shipments are being
made in tramp steamships as well as
the regular liners, and the supply is
rapidly diminishing.
1t is usual for prices to rise at this
season of the year, when the fall crop
becomes reduced and the potatoes
from the South have not begun to
come in in large quantities. At the
Office of E. Z. Bergen & Co., 2S Com
merce street, It was said that there
had been a jump in price,
I'VE have been compelled to pay an
advance of four cents bushel at the
farms" said a member of the firm.
Potatoes that were twenty-eight
cents a bushel a week ago are now
quoted to us at thirty-two cents"

Berlin Brands as Lies
Stories That Submarine
Crew Laughed at Victims
BY tho Associated Press.

BERLIN, April 5. by wireless TO
Sayreville, n. Y.-The following
statement was given out here off,
cially today:
provocative reports In English and
neutral newspapers that the crew of
the German submarine, which sank
the British steamer Falaba, laughed
at the death struggles of the passen-
gers and refused to assist them, al
though having opportunity to do so
are shameless lies.
''England's decision to attack sub
marines by merchant ships and to
give prizes for successful attacks
forces submarines to act without loss
of time Unfortunately, 1t frequently
is impossible for submarine crews to
spare human lives. England's atti-
tude changed because the sinking of
the Falaba proved that passenger
traffic is no longer safe and because
submarine warfare has affected her
economic life mora seriously"
