try are distributed approximately as fol-

graph, 5000; commercial houses, 5000.

Caldquell Meeting
Votes Unanimously
To Bar Hearst Papers

CALDWELL, N. j., June 4-Citizens
of this community, meeting tonight on
the Common in response to a sum-
mons issued from pulpits and published
in "The Caldwell Progress" the local
newspaper, unanimously voted to use
all lawful means to keep William
Randolph Hearst's New York Gamer
lean" and Evening Journal" out of
CALDWELL
committee was appointed to &C
quaint the newsdealers with the action
taken. The newsdealers had already
expressed their Willingness to abide by
the wishes of citizens.
Boy Scouts, with their color-b bearer
and fife and drum corps in the lead,
marched through the principal streets
prior to the meeting. coming to halt
on the Common, where they gave an
exhibition drill.
Captain L. c. Patton, of Company A
of the New Jersey Militia Reserve,
called the meeting to order, informing
the assemblage members of Company
A wanted to feel they had the entire
town behind them in the action they
had taken in ratifying the decision Of
the Defence League of New Jersey to
suppress Hearst newspapers by all law
full means. He reviewed what he
termed the "insidious campaign" un-
dertaken by Hearst to undermine
Amercas confidence in the Allies and
her war enthusiasm, and expressed the
conviction that "a leopard cannot
change his spots and l don't believe
Mr.. Hearst has changed his"
In response to query put by Joseph
Markely as to why the government had
not taken action against the Hearst
papers, Captain Patton said that if
enough such meetings as this were held
the government probably would take
action. r. A. Matthews, a Civil War
veteran. moved that the citizens in
dorse the action taken by Company A
and work to suppress Hearst news
papers in Caldwell. The motion was
carried without a dissenting voice.

control of the telegraph lines is con-
cerned, we are unalterably opposed to
1T. We have no wish to sell out or to
pass over the control of our lines We
believe it would be a great mistake,
not only on the part of the government,
but on the part of the telegraph com
panies, if that happened. We are Civ.
ing competitive service and a first
class service at the low rates which
prevailed prior to the war, although
nearly everything else has advanced in
price.
"We believe that if the government
should now take control of the tele-
graph lines, the rates would be ad-
vanced and the service would decline
in accuracy and speed, and we cannot
see what good this would be to the
public. So long as the public can get
good service at low rates from the
present competition between the two
telegraph companies, we fail to see
what advantage there would be in the
government taking over the lines eth
err temporarily or permanently. We
Will undertake. to continue to operate
our lines successfully and to the sat
isfaction Of the public if we are left
alone.
There are not enough union oper-
ators to make strike. If a strike is
called not more than 1 or 2 per
cent of the telegraph operators would
respond, because they don's belong to
the union. Furthermore, practically
every man on our staff is intensely
loyal to the government and to the
public, and in this time of war thew
would not respond to the call for a
strike"

Merchant, Unable
To Sleep, Kills Wife
And Then Himself
Werner III. Deghuee Wor-
ried by Fear of Financial
Losses Through War

Werner Henry Deghuee, an export
lumber merchant on whom the war
had piled worries until he was on the
verge of breakdown, shot and killed
his wife and himself before dawn yes-
terday in their home at 1877 Cambridge
Place, Brooklyn. He was fifty-three
years old and had been under a phy-
slcian's care for insomnia for months.
When his daughter, Mrs. Lillian D.
Smith, whose husband, Ralph Bevan
Smith, member of the Royal Flying
Corps, is in German prison camp.
saw light in her parents room on
awakening at 1880 O'Clock, she be-
lieved that her father had fallen asleep,
forgetting to turn off the current.
I!p-toeing past the door, she made
her way downstairs to see that pre-
paratlons for breakfast were started.
Her fathers body was the first sight
that met her view on entering the
dinly lighted basement. A wound in
his head and revolver that lay be-
side the body told the story.
Mrs. Smith rushed upstairs. A pill
low covered her mothers face. 1t hid a
bullet wound. Powder marks on the
pillow case showed that her father
had muffled the shot, that the house
hold might not be aroused.
Werner Deghuee, the lumber mer-
chants nineteen-year-o son, tele
phoned for a physician. Both Mr..
Deghuee and his wife had been dead
for hours, he said. The police wrote
1T down as murder and suicide.
The war he'd cut into Mr. Deehuee's
business to such an extent that he be-
lleved his fortune to be imperilled
About year ago the family had moved
from their home in Forest Hills to the
Brooklyn house. They still maintained
a summer home near Greenwood Lake,
however. While they were spending a
few days there Werner Dephuee con
tractd pneumonia from which he is
just recovering.
Last December the husband Of Mr..
Deghuee's daughter sailed for France.
Following a message that he had
brought down a German came the re-
port of his capture. That worried Mr
Deghuee greatly. He passed hours
walking his bedroom floor and RECENTLY
told his physician that unless he could
get sleep he would die or lose his
mind. His wife, Katherine. was tbrae
years his junior

Unless Necessary to Con-

WASHINGTON, June 4.-President
Wilson to-day declared his opposition
to further prohibition legislation until
the food administration decides it is
necessary to conserve foodstuffs. His
position was made known in a letter
to Senator Sheppard, of Texas. A House
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill would prevent the expen-
diture of $6,oo0,00o, unless the Presi-
dent prevents the use of grain in the
production of alcoholic liquors.
Senator Sheppard said he would not
make public the letter at this time.
de said he conferred with Food Ad-
mlnlstratorr Hoover to-day regarding
the situation and was awaiting his
reply. Upon this answer, he said, will
depend future action.

Postal Manager Says
Company Has Keyn7en
Making Over $50 Week

Edward Reynolds, president and
general manager of the Postal Tele-
graph Cable Company, asked in regard
TO the statement that the average SAL
airy Of the telegrapher is from s18 a
week to $23.24 as maximum, said:
This is absolutely untrue. We have
telegraph operators in our employ who
are receiving more than $40 for a week
OF six days of regular working hours.
THE telegraph service is twenty
four hour service, and telegrapher's
working day is based upon seven,
eight and nine hours service, according
to the time of day and the conditions
under which he works. If he cares to
work more than a regulation day and
many of them do actually earn--in our
service, over $50 week.
THE talk of our employees being
ovcrworked and having long hours is
all nonsense. They do not work beyond
regular hours, except voluntarily, for
which they are paid time and one-half
based upon seven hours to day.
There seems to be a persistent eff
tort to misrepresent the actual facts
in regard to wages, surroundings, hours
OF labor and satisfaction of our oper-
a'ors. we certainly see no reason why
our operators should be forced to ioin
a union. That is what the present
movement practically amounts to, be-
cause few union men in the tele-
graph organization desire the power to
embarrass the transmission of tele-
grams to such an extent as to force the
,non-union men into the union. We
know this is so because we went
through that very same thing in 1907
when the majority of our operators
were we'll satisfied and did not wish to
take part in the strike, but were forced
to DO so by their leaders. They struck
in August, 1907. without making anv
demands or expressing any grievance
and were unable at the time and have
never been able to explain why an or
der to strike was issued, and for this
reason the union became dscredited
among operators and has never been
able to recruit any strength among the
operators employed by commercial tele-
grnrh companies.
