LEAD PIGMENTS INCREASED.
In Value But Were Less in Quantity Dur
ing 1917,

According TO statistics compiled in the
United States geological survey, depart
ment of the interior, the total value Of
lead pigments of domestic manufacture
sold in the United States in 1917 amount
to 500, 663, 923, as compared with S3l,-
COL $50 in 1916 and S24,6l4,0O6 in 1915.
The abnormal conditions created by
the war manifestly reacted strongly upon
the lead pigment industry The high
cost of labor, of fuel, of raw materials,
and of everything else that enters into
the cost of manufacturing and marketing
the product is reflected in the increased
value of the pigments sold during the
years shown; while the decrease in the
quantities marketed likewise shows the
effects Of high prices, OF the curtailment
OF building operations throughout the
country, and of the shrinkage in other
outlets for the product. The total value
in 1917 shows an increase of Is per cent
over that of the preceding year, but The
quantity fell off nearly 3 per cent.

Former Popular Policeman
Reported Killed In Action

A telegram was received In this
city late last night from the war de-
partment at Washington by Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Franzblau, of 1913 Hall
avenue, stating that their son, former
Patrolman Edward William Franz
blau, had been killed in battle in Eu-
rope on October 10 last. The telegram
contained no other particulars than
the fact that he had been killed.
Perth Amboy sent seven policemen
into the United States army and navy
and he is the first one to be officially
reported killed, although Patrolman
Thomas Toolan, who was his chum for
many years and who was APPOINTED
to the local police force at the same
time. drafted the same day and went
to Camp Dix and across the sea with
him., was reported a few weeks ago
among the missing.
Edward William Franzblau was
born In this city and lived here all of
his life. Eddie as he was best
known. was appointed to the local po-
lice force after a competitive exami-
nation by Mayor TenBroeck and had
been member only a short time
when this country entered the war
When the first draft call was made
he was among the high numbers on
the list and went to Camp Dix with
the first eight men sent out of here
among the others beins Thomas
Toolan, Johnny Hunt, James Kenny,
Richard Martin and John Bullwinkel.
For time they were at Dix and
then word came that they had arrived
safely overseas and were somewhere
in France as members of Company d,
311th Regiment. From time to time
word was received from Franzblau
and he told how he longed to be back
In old Perth Amboy. He was happy
too because he had been promoted
first to corporal then to sergeant and
when the Hun bullet got him. he was
first sergeant of his company and in
line for a commission.
He was one of the most popular
members Of the police force and had
hundreds of friends who will mourn
his loss.

FORMER KAISER
NOT UNWELCOME
His Return to Germany Would
be Hailed With Satisfaction
In Some Quarters
Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 19-The rumor that
William Hohenzollern, former Ger
man emperor may possibly return
to Germany, is supposed by tho Ber-
lin Lokal Anzeiger's hint that he
would not be refused an entry to that
country, has created "a considerable
stir here. They are featured by sew
eral of the morning newspapers as
creating an uncertain situation which
is rendered more doubtful by the ac-
count of the activity of German prop
oganists in several countries.
The fear mainly is that the former
emperor would sooner or later be-
come the center of the reactionary
movement in Germany, when the pres
ent revolutionary storm has blown
over and the advocates of this view
consequently fear his return to his
former empire.
On the other hand the fact that
the former ruler, placing himself or
being placed in the hands of the new
rulers Of Germany would be welcomed
in other quarters. These rulers. the
morning post argues should be able to
execute judgment upon him and IN
so doing would only be acting as Mt
ting instruments of justice.
There is everywhere, however,
agreement In the idea that the emper-
or's presence in Holland Is intolera-
BILE and IL is insisted that he must
somehow be made impotent to do fur
ther mischief. The reports from Hol-
land show that the uninvlted guest is
becoming da vi more unwelcome there
becoming daily more unwelcome there
Notwithstanding his quiet in retire
ment Belated advices from The
Hague show that the Dutch Socialists
reiterated in parliament on Friday
last their objections to his presence
and demanded that he be transported.

RICHARDS ASKS
COURT OPINION

Fight for His Seat May be
President
By Special Corresaondent.

By Special CorreSaondent.
TRENTON, Nov. 19-Emerson j..
Richards, of Atlantic county, today
announced that he will immediately
quo warranto proceedings In the su-
preme court to determine his right to
sit in the next state senate in View
of his having accepted "a captaincy
recently in the United States army.
Richards said that after the decision
of the supreme court the case would
be carried to the errors court for the
purpose of having the highest tribunal
of the state decide his stutus In the
meantime he continued, any bill he
votes upon in the senate would be le-
gal until such time as the courts neld
his right to the seat 10 ne otherwise.
The Republican senators are sched-
uled to go into caucus here today to
decide the question of senate presi-
dent and senate leader. 1t is believed
that Richards has sufficient lumber
of the fifteen votes to elect himself
senate president and that Mackay, of
Bergen, will be made seiate Republl-
can leader.
Edge Makes Statement.
Governor Edge today issued a state
ment on the Richards Senatorial con-
troversy in which he said: "I am sure
1t is unnecessary for me to repeat that
/ have no intention of attempting to
dictate the organization of either the
Senate or the House. or course, Cap
tain Richards is a personal friend. II
/ do not have anything worse to an
swer for than standing by my friends.
/ guess / will be forgiven. So are Sen
ator Mackay and Senator Pilgrim and
Senator Wells personal friends and
warm, loyal supporters of the admin
istration
IT have not even spoken to a sena-
tor suggesting his support for any
candidate, although If 1t is established
that Captain Richards is eligible
which question must be decided be-
fore he should assume any such re-
sponsibility, certainly he should not
be penalized in his candidacy either
because he has. been in the army or
because he comes from the same coun-
ty I formerly represented in the SEN
ate
..The senators will decide to whom
they will give tho honor posts and I
am quite confident whatever their
Judgment the people will be entirely
satisfied with their decision"
Senator Wells of Burlington is
Richards opposition candidate for
Senate president. He announced be-
fore the conference this morning OF
the Republican members of the Sem
ate that he would be in the fight to
the bitter end"
Among those supporting him are
RunyoE of Union; Case of Somerset;
Hammond of Mercer: Whitney of
Morris; Bright of Cape May. and pos
sibly Pilgrim OF Essex. Richards needs
eight votes to control the caucus.
