Less Crime in Chicago.

For the first time in "A years more
than 1000 saloons in the city of Chica-
90 were closed last Sunday. Hereto
fore, they have totally disregarded the
Sunday closing ordinance. AS result
of the closed saloons, the criminal
record for chat day was considerably
less than usual. There were only 16
arrests for drunkenness in the city
Sunday and At on Saturday, against an
average of 24S arrests for the two
days for several months past. And
yet some people say the consumption
of whiskey has little or nothing to do
with the increase of crime.

Report of Grand Jury.

Edgefeld, S. c., Oct. IA, 1915.
To His Honor Judge T. S. Sease,
presiding:
We beg leave to make this our
final report for the year 1915, and
in so doing it is our very pleasing
duty to state that our work has been
of pleasing nature for the year
and due in large measure to the
efficiency of the county officers and
their assistants.
We find that crime is reduced to
a minimum in our county, that
there are few criminal cases to be
tried at this or previous sessions of
court for the year, this in our judg-
ment due to the enforcement of the
law by officers and the very marked
disposition on the part of our citi-
zens generally to observe and res
pect the laws of our State.
We recommend that the Magis-
trates and Supervisors of Registra-
ton be recommended for appoint
ment by the grand jury, thereby
removing from politics these of
fees.
We recommend that the Super
visor investigate the sanitary con-
dition of the Court House and
make changes that are necessary,
the nature of which will be report
ed to him by the foreman of the
Grand Jury.
In conclusion. we wish to thank
your Honor, the Solicitor and other
officers of the court for the courte-
sizes extended US during this session
of court.

ager OF the company. A. P. Sloan,
who is president and treasurer Of the
plant. issued statement today, in
which he said the capital stock will
be increased from 100000 to $1,000
900. The profits, he said, are needed
in the development of the company.
Mr.. Sloan. publicity manager, in
explaining the capitalization increase,
said: 1T has taken considerable
money TO erect the new buildings at
this plant, and the idea that a 1.40t
per cent. melon is to be cut today is
erroneous. Another thing. we are
compelled to pay big money for the
material we use here. The cost OF
steel, for instance. Is very high at the
present time. and. it takes terrific
capital to finance this business.

TRENTON, Nov. 1s.-Increasing
credence is placed in the report that
State Treasurer Edward e. Grosscup
may be appointed by Governor. James
F. Fielder to succeed Banking and
Insurance Commissioner George III.
La Monte. That this will, indeed,
come to pass cannot be said with any
degree of certainty now. but it is in
the air. Speculation may be stopped
at any time by q semi-official denial,
but Mr. Grosscup's friends are serious
in discussing it.
Further Indications of the closer re-
lations existing between Mr.. Grosscup
and the governor have recently been
given. The expected conference in
Washington between the president,
the governor and Mr.. Grosscup next
wednesday may have something to
do with the future of Messrs. La
Monte and Grosscup, it is suggested
by some The reluctance displayed
by both the governor and Mr.. Gross.
cup to discussing the conference is
interesting. From Jersey City it was
learned today that the governor re-
fused to admit that the conference
would take place, .but neither did he
deny it.
Some Of Mr.. Grosscup's supporters
suggest that berth may be found
Tor Mr.. La Monte in Washington. He
is director OF the New York banking
district, as organized under the Fed
eral reserve act. There are those sug-
gesting that this in itself might JUS
tify the naming of some one else as
banking and insurance commissioner.
Mr.. La Monte is a wealthy man and
is in political life solely for the honors.
lie has been regarded as possible
candidate for the nomination for
United States senator.
Both Mr.. La Monte and Mr.. Cross
cup were selected by Governor Wilson
for their present positions. The legis-
lature, OF course, actually names the
State treasurer, while the banking and
insurance commissioner is appointed
by the governor Mr. La Monte In
particularly friendly to former Mayor
Fl. Otto Wittpenn. Of Jersey City
whose giiberiatorial candidacy is due
to be formally launched IN the near
future. Mr.. La Monte and Mr.. Cross
cup have acquitted themselves nobly
as public officials, their efficiency hay-
ing been praised even by Republicans.
Another report reaching Trenton is
that State Senator Thomas Barber. Of
Warren county, may be a candidate
for the congressional nomination in
the Sixth district, to succeed Repre-
sentative Archibald c. Hart. of Hack
ensack. Senator Barber has long had
aspirations to be a congressman.
Union, Morris and Warren counties,
which once comprised the Fifth dis
trict, still ring with the echoes of the
stirring convention in 1910, when Will
lam E. Tuttle, jr., of Westfield, was
nominated over DR.. Barber.

ping from the deck into a launch
