tracted widespread attention. II was her
contention that her husband once pros
porous huckster, had died Of alcoholism
after squandering all his money In Bosch's
saloon
There was report in liquor circles today
that saloonlSeepers had come TO Bosch's
rescue by taking ZIP a collection for the

tributors to the settlement" fund was a

tuted MAY 1914. 1t was tried before
Judge Pat on. in the Court of Common
Pleas, on January 81, 1915. Mrs Alex

great as any" But Hughes, a man with
reputation for Justice and high tariff
what man could wish for more?" he said.
Opinions were given by men too modest
to be quoted. Wilson Is generally consid
cred all right" but opinion is that Hughes
is better" Business reasons were given
by others for Withholding their preference
for President.
One man. physically the double of Roose

utes. hid his POLITICAL sentiment behind an
onslaught on woman suffrage Engliso ROT

The women were rather inclined to stick
to Wilson.

said one, "and .hat's what l want above
anything else. To stay out of the WA. and
keep my boys safeIat home. For know
they would enlist they've told me So"

cost of production will jack up the cost

JERSEY DEALERS HEAR
STAMP PLAN ATTACKED
Commerce Chamber Federation
Urged to Fight Premiums.
Quick Answer Comes

BEACH HAVEN, N. j., June 16.--As-
sailing the trading stamp and coupon
premium at the convention of the New
Jersey State Chamber of Commerce Fed
Grafton here this morning, Frank LEROY
Blanchard, of New York. editor of the
islation in this State
What remedy Is possible?" asked Mr..
Blanchard. "a State law regulating or abol-
tshing the stamp and coupon business, Is
needed. The Washington State law i'm
posing a prohibitive tax on users of stamps
and on the stamp companies has been up
held by the decision of the Supreme Court
of Washington. Justice McKenna asserts
the full rights and powers of State legisla-
tors to enact laws governing the system.
even when such laws drive them out of
business. See that your homo representa-
tive in your State Legislature is awak-
ened to the Importance of such legislation
and that he shall cooperate with your
merchants and business men in bringing
about proper legislation N your State. That
your real remedy. Meanwhile discontinue
the use of stamps"
The speech was made at the opening of
the retail affairs session and was enthusi-
astically applauded by merchants attending
from all parts of the State.
WIG. Hamilton, vice president fthe
Sperry and Hutchinson Company. the
largest trading stamp concern in the world,
defended premium giving. He admitted
that there had been abuses, but said com
panes were striving to remedy these. He
declared that last year the trading stamp
companies gave out S25,0000O0 worth of
goods and that this represented purchases
of billion dollars worth of articles He
argued that the trading stamp had stimulat-
ed trade and threatened retaliation If legis-
lation was enacted against the trading
stamp premium companies. He said the
Washington State law had only forced the
companies to pay cash instead of premiums.
Following his talk the merchants were
permitted to ask questions. All of these
were directed at Mr. Hamilton. Other
speakers were Roy S SDurstne, Mrs. Lucinda
w, Prince and A. w. Peardon.
