Tumulty Urges
Support for Edge
He Wants Democrats in Jersey
to Vote With Republicans
ON Local Option

Nothing that has occurred in Nc,,
Jersey State politics for some time has
aroused the int%est that did a lettc,
received yesterday by Alexander Simp-
son, Of Jersey City, from Joseph P.
Iumuky, secretary to the President.
Mr.. Simpson is leader of the Democratic
minority in the New Jersey Assembly.
In his letter MI Tumulty urges the
Democrats to line up with the Rcpub-
l1csns tor local option. He urges then.
tosupport Governor Walter H. Edge, a
!epublican, who is trying to obtain
eglslatlon for tunnelling the Hudson
'and Delaware rivers, as we'll as making,
every effort to win support for the
present election laws. He declared the
beer barrel should not be the party
platform in New Jersey.
What New Jersey politicians want to
know is whether Secretary Tumulty' 8
letter was written with the KNOWLEDGE
and approval of the President or that
it merely represents his personal views
as Jerseyman.
Is it, they are asking, another slap
at James X. Nugent, who was at one
time the acknowledged Democratic boss
OF New Jersey? The opposition of Boss
Nugent to the President when he was
nrsC making nlmsel1 known In New
Jersey politics, those who have dis
cussed the letter of Secretary Tumulty
say, has never been entirely forgiven.
Whatever the motive back of the
letter, politicians believe it sounds the
death knell of those who have domi-
mated the Democratic organization, Mr..
Tumulty specifically urges that the
party be cleared of bosses. brewery in
tcrests and traction company influence.
"The influence Of these groups" MIR.
Tumulty wrote. "has been like a can
cerous growth in the politics Of our
state, and they must be absolutely cut
out if we are to be members of a party
that is free to respond to the progress

Egg Men Here.Told
Hoarding Must End
Cold Storage Product Shall
Not Be Sold for More
Than 50 Cents

Wholesale egg dealers met yesterday
in the Office of the Federal Food Board.
at 22O West Fifty-seventh Street, and
were told, firmly by Arthur Williams,
local Federal food administrator, that
81 to So cents dozen was under pres
ent conditions fair price for the con-
sumer to pay for cold storage eggs.
No agreement was reached. Cyrus G.
Miller, director Of the boards bureau
of transportation and distribution, was
instructed to telegraph to Washington
asking the food administration to or
der dealers to release 10 per cent OF
their cold storage holdings every two
days.
The suggestion of the telegram was
made by the dealers. Members of the
board expressed the opinion that the
present egg shortage was artifically
induced by egg handlers who expected
higher prices.
"If the government approves Of the
proposed order we will see to it that it
will be enforced" said Mr. Miller.
"If any one does not comply with the
order we will put his supply of eggs
on the sidewalk and sell them"
The Food Board decided that the
complaint of overcharging for sugar
made against Austin. Nichols g. Co. had
not been sustained. In the instance
cited it was found that the extra charge
was made for extra service performed.

THE ALASKA INSANE.

Congress has been asked to appro- priate the sum of $2OO,OO0 for the pur. chase of a site and the erection of a hospital for the insane of Alaska. with view to discontinuing the practice of sending northern charges to Morn- ingside sanitarium.
 The request for funds for this pur- pose is contained in a bill recently introduced in congress by Delegate Sulzer, backed by a memorial adopted during the last session of the terri torial legislature. And, on the face of 1t, the request seems like a reasonable one
 But when one considers the ques- tion impartially, with due regard for the comfort of the unfortunate in mates, the wisdom of making a change in the manner of caring for them be comes matter of uncertainty. We have not heard it stated by those fam iliar with the care of insane that more recoveries will result from the treat ment of patients in Alaska; but there are scores who believe that unbalanced northerners have a better chance to recover in outside institutions. where the climatic conditions are less severe and where years of experience in treating insanity cases have resulted in the adoption of methods most cer- tan of quick recovery.
 The establishment of a permanent asylum in Alaska has been agitated by many Alaskan, including members of several legislatures; the governor has recommended the change and nu- merous investigations been held in the hope of finding valid excuse for re- moving the patients from Oregon But none of the arguments advanced en, courage the belief that conditions can be improved by keeping our insane at home. The unfOrtunates should be given every possible opportunity to recover; they should be confined  where the climate will permit of out door exercise the year round; the sur rOundings should be attractive; they should have food of the most nourish- ing sort and most important of all, they should be under the care of men competent to treat such cases. If these things can be provided in Alaska, there remains no argument against the es- tablishment of an asylum in the ter ritory. If they are not obtainable, the agitation for the establishment of such an institution should be stop, ped The restoration of mental bal ance is of greater importance than the pork barrel expenditures which coast politicians are trying to make
 available.-Nenana News.

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

Alaskans generally, regardless of political affiliations, must agree that President Wilson selected not only the best Democrat, but also one of the most capable men in the territory, to succeed J. F. A. Strong as governor of Alaska. This appointment was not un- expected and the only thing that stood in the way of MT. Riggs being named as governor immediately upon the ex- piratiOn of the present incumbent's term of office was the fact that his services as a member of the Alaskan engineering commission could not be dispensed with at that time. Even now the residents of the interior regret to see him sever his connection as a builder of the government railroad, as he has proven himself a most capable official in the work on the Fairbanks end of the line. But what is their loss is the territOry's gain, as the Daily Times confidently believes that Mir Riggs will give an equally good account of himself as the chief execu- tive of Alaska and joins large circle of friends in extending it's hearty con. : gratulations to the new governor.

BUILDING MUST WAIT,

There are sound reasons for Secre- tary McAdOO's plea that all unneces- saTy building operations be postponed until after the war This includes fed eral structures for many of which ap- propriations have already been made by congress, and among them is Cor dOva's new $100,0O0 public building.
 All the available lumber and all car penters and mechanics are needed for work on government ships and that building which is necessary for the prosecution of the war.
 Much building has to be done. Work men who are being taken to industrial centers must be housed and thou sands of new houses will have to be built if the ship workers are to be housed like human beings.
 Until the war is ended worlmen and materials should be concentrated on the needs of the nation, and work that can wait should be postponed un- til peace comes.

He believes that when the war is ended observers will fly over the jungle instead of cutting their way through to locate stands of rubber and mahogany trees.

DETERMINED TO DRILL

Miami, June 28.--In spite of Gov
ernor Cats order that county troops
shall not drill on Sundays, the .Dade
county home guards will drill Sum
day. Major w. P. Smith, command
ing officer of the Dade county guards,
went before the city council and ask
ed them to adopt resolution calling
on the governor to suspend the opera
ton of his proclamation so far as
Dade county is concerned. In closing
his argument Major Smith said: Il
come before you to ask that you adopt
resolution calling upon the COVER
nor to suspend the operation of his
proclamation so far as Dade county is
concerned, as this is a seaport and
needs all the protection it can get
but if he does not suspend the ope-
ration of the proclamation on Sunday
insofar as it effects Dade county, we
are going to drill anyway and he can
do as he d-n pleases about it." And
the council agreed with him. Major
Smith claims that he. as commander
has absolute power SO far as the con-
duct of the Dade county home guards
is concerned and that the governor
has nothing to do with him.

ITALIANS TOOK
THE OFFENSIVE
Also, Many Austrian Prisoners and
the Monta di Val, and Held 1t
Against Counter Attacks
Associated Press)

Attacking the Austrian Hungarian
lines on the Asiago plateau, the Ital-
ians have wrested Monta di val Bella
from the enemy, captured 400 prison
ers and held their new positions
against repeated counter-attacks.
This sudden turn from the defensive
to the offensive came as a surprise to
the laymen of the allied world, for it
had been believed that General Diaz,
the Italian commander, would be
content to hold his lines in the noun
tains against great new offensive
intended by the Austrians and Ger
mans to take away the sting of the
defeat of the Austrians along the
Piave two weeks ago.
Nor was the Italian attack limited
to the positions on Monte di val Bella.
Further east, on the left bank of the
Brenta river, they captured the
height of Sasso Rosso, just north of
the village of Valstagna.
These two actions, while local in
character, may explain the failure of
the Italians to pursue the Austrians
across the Piave when, on June %,
the enemy fled from the west bank
with a haste that indicated some
thing of decentralization.
