Declaring that there is an agree

charged from one factory cannot OBJ

that girls employed in these factories
only have a certain part of the cigar

There is a certain cigar made by a
union firm here, and these cigars
are not smoked by millionaires

SINNOTT'S NAME
IS READY To CO
TO THE SENATE
Armitage, Out of the Postmas-
tership Race, CongratuIates
His Rival for Honor.

The nomination of John r. Sinnott
sr., for postmaster will be forwarded
to the Senate on Monday or Tuesday
it was announced from Washington
today. The appointment will be a
purely personal one upon the part of
President Wilson, according to the
latest reports.
Postmaster-Genera Albert Burle-
son opposed the naming of either Mr..
Sinnott or John l.. Armitage, ii is
understood. Mr.. Burleson and Joseph
7. Tumulty. secretary to the presi-
dent, are reported to have discussed
at length the selection of Mr. Sinnott,
but Mr.. Burleson lost out. Mr.. Burle-
sons position was that a younger
man than either Mr. Sinnott or Mr.
Armitage. should be chosen. He so eX-
pressed himself to a Newark dclega-
ton. Both Mr.. Sinnott and Mr. Arm
itage are over the siXty-year mark
Congratulations have been extended
Mr. Sinnott by Mr.. Armitage. Only
the latter's continued refusal to ad-
NIT that Mr.. Sinnott had won, has
hitherto cast doubt upon reports that
the former councilman would sue
ceed Frank J. Book.
Accepts Defeat.
In extending congratulations, Mr..
Armitage accepted defeat gracefully
and expressed the hope that he and
Mr. Sinnott would continue friends
despite the close contest between
them. Mr. Armitage's act means that
no efforts will be extended to hold up
confirmation of Mr. Sinnott's name
when the president takes formal ac-
ton and forwards the nomination to
the Senate.
Mr.. Sinnott has also been congratu-
lated by Il. NJ. Terlinde, who acted as
right bower to Mr.. Armitage.
Messrs. Sinnott and Terlinde are col
leagues upon the Passaic Valley Sew
erage Commission, Mr.. Sinnott being
president.
The failure of an eleventh-hour at
tempt to put Mr.. Armitage across
convinced the latter and his support
ers that the battle was lost. United
States Senators James r. MARITIME and
William Hughes had agreed upon the
Sinnott recommendation, the Armi-
tage forces learned, and Postmaster
General Albert Burleson made it clear
that the wishes of the senator's would
be respected.
Long Time Candidate.
Mr. Armitage was candidate for
postmaster almost from the time that
President Wilson was elected. Be-
sides Mr. Sinnott, only two or three
other names had been suggested.
Former Sheriff William Harrigan was
a serious contender. A futile effort
was made to advertise ]. Randolph
Woodruff, a local lawyer, as a can
didate, but his name never received
any serious consideration at Wash
ington.

GUMMERE BARS
OUT ADVICE BY
A GRAND JUROR
Commissioner Nutting Tries to
Offer Information Regarding
County Institutions.

An attempt on the part of State
| Riparian Commissioner Charles A.
| Nutting, of Caldwell, a member of
the first December grand jury, to
make a prescntment To chief Justice
Gummere regarding conditions at the
City Hospital when the jury was
discharged today, was frustrated by
the courl. Mr.. Nutting admitted that
he was acting on his own initiative
and his colleagues knew nothing of
the statement he desired to make.
The justice informed the grand
juror, when he first tried to make n
statement, that the court was not
concerned with anything he might
want to say unless he was speaking
for the other members of the jury as
well as himself. Mr.. Nutting said
that what he wanted to say was only
his personal views. The court refused
to listen, but the juror made another
attempt to speak, but was cut off by
the court discharging the jury with
thanks fer their five weeks work.
In court h;r. Nutting did not in
dicate that it was the City Hospital
he wanted to complain of, but after
ward il was learned that the condi-
tions at this institution were the
principal cause of his outburst. The
other jurors appeared surprised when
he attempted to make his statement
and afterwards many of them de-
clared that they had no idea what
Mr.. Nutting was going to do when
they went into court.
Made Some Comment.
The grand jury inspected the City
Hospital on Thursday and the county
hospitals and other institutions a
week ago Thursday. During the tour
Of the City Hospital, it was recalled
by some of the jurors that Mr.. Nut
ting made comment on several things
he had seen, but the jurors paid little
attention to his criticism. No meeting
of the jury was held since the inspec-
tion until this morning, when they
met before going into court with a
batch of indictments.
Mr.. Nutting arrived at the Court
House a few minutes before the
jurors went into court and there was
no opportunity for any discussion of
presentments. Peter Hauck, ir., of
East Orange, foreman of the inquest,
presented the indictments to the
court, who then asked the usual ques-
tion as to whether there was any,
thing further to be said or done be-
fore they were discharged for the
term.
May | say something with refer
ence to the county and city institu-
tions inspected by the grand jury?"
began Mr.. Nutting. ITS nothing
about the arrangements. It's in ref
erence to conditions"
Anything you may have to say,
unless it is a matter agreed upon by
you and your colleagues, does not
concern the court" answered the
chief justice.
ut is the opinion of the grand
jury Mr. Nutting started. He
was interrupted again by the chief
justice.
A Formal Body.
You must remember Mr.. Nutting,"
said the court, that the grand jury
is a formal body, that can only make
formal indictments or formal present
ments. You can't come and say to
me, in an off-hand way, as between
friends, what you may have in mind.

to the improper carrying on of gov
renmental affairs, it is within the

BERLIN, Jan. % (by wireless to
Sayville). "The Austro- Hungarian
official press bureau says the Overs
seas News Agency, announces that
the laying down of arms as agreed
upon by the the Montenegro governs
ment is meeting with difficulties and
that the general disarming of the
Montenegrins will be delayed, this
being due principally to the long dis
tances over which the soldiers have
to travel and to the bad communica-
tions.
'"The press bureau also declares
that the delay is due in part to the
national peculiarities of the Monte-
