STUBBORN FIRE
ON WATERFRONT
fRy Associated Presn.n

Hoboken, N. j., Jan. 4.-Firemen
United States soldiers and civilians
aided by New York f1reboats and
railroad tugs brought a stubborn
blaze under control after a fight OF
several hours in the heart of the in
dustrial section parallellng the gov
eminent controlled waterfront here
today. A six-story manufacturing
plant containing paper and other
mill supplies owned by the GATH
McQuade company, was destroyed
with an estimated property loss of
S250,000. Numerous small fires, caus-
ed by sparks, were checked.
At the request of war department
authorities in New York the fire.
boats were dispatched and reached
Hoboken after cutting their way
through the Hudson river ice. The
flames were prevented from spread
ing to a number of ships loading
with war supplies.
About 1000 soldiers guarded the
district and civilians were called on
for patrol duty. A munitions factory
in the vicinity was not touched by
the flames. A number of firemen
overcome by cold, exhaustion and
smoke, were removed to hospitals.

DEP ARTMENT
Of MUNITIONS
is PROPOSED
Chamberlain Introduces a
Bill Providing for New
Cabinet Officer
HAS BACKING OF
THE COMMITTEE
Would Coordinate all
Work of Supplying
Fighting Forces
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. A department
Of munitions under a new cabinet
head known as the secretary OF
munitions is proposed in a bill intro
duced today by Chairman Chamber
lain of the senate military commit
tee as result of its investigation OF
war operations.
The new department would operate
during the war and one year there
after. The bill has the backing of
the senate committee and will be
strongly pressed. The new secretary
Of munitions would have power under
the Presidents decision to control
arms, ammunition, food, clothing,
equipment, tentage, transportation
and any other materials the Presi-
dent shall designate as munitions Of
war.
Government bureaus, agencies and
funds necessary to munitions
administration would be transferred
to the new department which con-
templates control of naval as well as
army supplies.
1.-THE bill is intended to increase
and expedite the supply of munitions
Of war;" said Senator Chamberlain.
"One great trouble with the war es-
adjustment as disclosed by the
investigation has been a lack of CO.
ordination and the seeming impossi-
bility Of getting rid of circuitous
methods OF doing business. Until
there can be coordination and
methods more direct the United
States will be cropping in the dark
for many months before we can
place ourselves in proper fighting
trim.
This measure places all jurisdic-
ton over munitions of war which
is defined at length in the bill-and
covering everything in one person
known as the secretary Of munitions,
subject to the direction, of course,
Of the President. 1t co-ordinates all
the bureaus, cuts red tape, does
away with useless decisions which
had tended only to hamper direct
action, and gets to the heart of the
whole situation"

SAVE OR PRODUCE WOOL.

There is a shortage of wool. 1t
will take more wool than the United
States produces to clothe and equip
the army. Due to the shortage of
shipping it is difficult to import wool
as it has to be brought so far. One
way to help this situation it to raise
more sheep. Another way is to make
the old suit or dress do duty little
longer. Su;tS and garments, perfect

for the mere pleasure OF wearing new
clothes. Wearing :hC old clothes is
one way of helping to win the war.

SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE RACE FOR JUDGE OF
THE COURT Of APPEALS
Judge Settle Does Not Reside in District and Is Not Eligible
Prominent Attorney Says

permanent residence in the district
and precinct where tho resided at
the time of such tenn fary removal,
yet that Section of the Statutes fur
thter provides: But in all cases it
shall be necessary for theofficer SO
intending to temporary remove to
file and cause to be recorded in the
clerks office of the county court of
the County of his residence a written
statement of such intention, which
written statement he snail also cause
10 be recorded in the clerks office of
tie county court of the county in
which the seat of government is stu
ated."
From the above provisions, which
we give in the exact language of the
Statute, and basing our opinion on
the facts stated, it will be seen that
wnen Judge Settle moved with his
family out of the district and failed
to liie and have recorded in both
counties a statement showing that
his removal was only temporary, the
law conclusively presumes that his
removal was permanent and he at
once lost his residence in the district
from which he removed.
Under the law private citizen
may temporarily remove out of his
precinct or district and continue to
hold his residence in such precinct
or district without filing and record
ing certificate in the clerks Office
OF the County court, but public
official can not do so. The Consti-
tuition and laws of this State require
andclearly point out how public
official must hold his residence in the
district if he moves out of it with his
family. This, according to the facts
stated, Judge Settle has failed to do,
and SO, not being legal resident in
this district, he can not lawfully be
elected from this district Should he
be nominated and elected, in our
opinion, Republican candidate for
this Office, could contest his election
on the ground that he was not le-
gal resident of the district at the
time of his election, in which event
Judge Settle would most likely lose
the office, although he received ma
jority of all the votes"
1t will be seen that grave ques-
ton is presented to the Democratic
voters in this district and they are
entitled and it is important for them
to be fully advised in advance about
it.
