The fleet of buses which Mayor Hy-

the suspended crosstown storage bat
terry cars, is expected to get away this
morning on ten-minute headwav.
Delay has been caused in transferring
the 'busses to Manhattan and only

and-out political backing, but has a
strong following among business men.
Thomas l.. Raymond, City Commits
sioncr Of Newark, is the remaining
Republican contestant. While King
and Bugbec have, to quote the Anti
Saloon League, mo record regarding
the liquor traffic." Raymond has
openly espoused the cause of the vets.
In the Democratic primaries there
are three candidates for governor, all
promising to oust the Public Utilities
Commission and all out-and-out vets.
State Senator Edward I. Edwards,
James r Nugent, former boss Of the
state machine, and Frank H. McDer-
mitt are the Democratic candidates.
McDermitt, Newark lawyer, is not
regarded as likely to get more than q
handful of votes outside Of Essex
County. The fght between Edwards
and Nugent is regarded as so close
even money last night.
The Democratic contest is not so
much fight for the nomination. as It
is generally conceded the state will go
overwhelmingly Republican in the cleo
tion, as it is for control of the Demo-
cratic state machine, which now rests
in the hands of the ith-Nugent fac
ton Mayor Frank Hague Of Jersey
City, leader Of Hudson County, the
banner Democratic district Of the
state, who is backing Edwards, is try
ing to seize control of the machine.
This he hope sto do if Edwards gets
the Democratic nomination.

who sought to remove them to the re-
formatory at Clinton.
The girls, Anna Huddock, Mary
Shook, Ethel Sockolsky and Janet
Grant,, who range in age from fifteen
to eighteen, frequently caused disturb
ances in the courtroom during their
trial, and when the sheriff appeared in
obedience to an order sending them to
the reformatory they fatty declared
they would not leave the jail.
Then began half-hour fight. Every
thing breakable in the Jail was
smashed, including windows. The
sheriff was cut on the head by broken
bottle hurled at him by one of the
girls. The girls finally were overpow
cred, and after being manacled were
bundled into an automobile and taken
away.
The fire at the State Home occurred
about two months ago. 1t was one of

Removal of War Dead
Is Opposed in France
Deputy Says Terrible Mistakes
Would Occur if Bodies Are
Moved at Present

PARIS, Sept. 2O.-The question Of
removing soldiers bodies from mill
tary cemeteries along the front was
brought up in the Chamber of Depu-
ties, when M. Pacaud, of Vend6e, asked
the Minister of War what measures
the government expected to take to
allow families to recover the bodies of
their dead.
Deputy Pecaud said bill had been
introduced forbdding the removal Of
bodies for three years because means
of transport were lacking. He de-
clared that this argument was not
admissible at present, as there were
plenty of trains to take tourists to the
battlefields. He asserted the Cham
Der ought not to dissolve without Civ
ing some satisfaction to fanatics, espe-
cially as American newspapers were
saying that American dead were to be
taken back across the Atlantic.
Replying in behalf of the ministry,
M. Abrami, of Pas-de-C Calls, said the
difficulties were insurm ountable and
that, much as the government would
like to grant satisfaction, there would
be risk of many terrible mistakes"
in cemeteries ploughed up several
times by artillery fire. He declared
bodies of German soldiers had been
found in graves bearing the inscrip-
tion, "a French soldier is buried
here" 1t was said that much had been
done SO that the government might be
able to reduce the delay to less than
three years, but he reminded the
Chamber that there were nearly two
million dead soldiers buried on the
battlefelds. i
N. Pacaud urged that, when possible,
exhumations be allowed, but NJ.
Abrami said that this was impossible
and that the government could make
no exception favoring families who
claimed to be able to arrange for the
movement of hOdies

The trolley fare zoning system. re-
Gently inaugurated by the New Jersey

TO be the deciding issue in the Repub-
hcan primaries in that state on Tues
day. 1t has been seized upon by three
OF the four factions supporting the
candidates for the Republican nomina-
tion for Governor. who place the re-
sponsibilty on the Edge machine
which is backing Newton A. X. Bugbce.
Until the trouble over the zoning
system reused New Jerseyites to ac-
tion, the campaign was regarded as
cut and dried for Bugbee, who resigned
as chairman of the Republican State
Committee to enter the primaries
The filing Of the charges on Friday
against the Public Utilities Commits
sion by the city of Montclair, in which
removal was demanded, gave Governor
Runyon an opportunity which makes
him a formidable rival of Bugbee

Edge after his election as United
States Senator, had been quietly cut

which in the beginning seemed about
to go almost solidly to Bugbee. His
supporters at best were, until last Fri
day hopeful. And most of their hopes
were based on the support given Run
yon By the New Jersey Woman Suf-
frage Association and the Anti Saloon
League, which contributed respectively
$4,000 and S5,225 to his campaign ex-

Last night they were predicting that
Tuesdays vote would place him at the
head Of the Republican ticket
Immediately on receiving the
charges, Governor Runyon ordered the
Public Utilities Commission to appear
before him on October to answer
Montclair's charges and show cause
why they should not be removed. This
he followed with a speech to a Jersey
City audience in which he promised a
searching investigation of the COM
missions acts.

can candidate for the nomination for

WIELDS DAMAGING MITT
BY JAMES S. CAROLAN

| Soldier Bartfield wields a damaging
mitt. He is the self acclaimed world s
greatest puncher.
The soldier only this morning ad-
mitted that he would fight any one
from Dempsey down. He has so much
confidence in that wallop Of his that
he even once climbed into the ring in
Madison Square Garden to box Demp-
sey. This was last winter when Demp-
sey refused to box Joe Jeanette at q
benefit show. Both Britton and Bart
field volunteered their services.
All Bartfield seems to know is fight.
He is not clever enough to do any
"stalling'' and his only chance to get
by is to fight all the way.
Bartfield arrived here last Saturday
to complete training for a meeting with
Benny Leonard Mt the Phillies Park
on week from Wednesday night.
Met Leonard Before
When asked if he was out there to
do Leonard any harm, he replied
thusly:
Il have no love for Leonard. ] met
him in a benefit bout at Ebbets Field
last fall: He was refereeing one of my
| fights and he told me to go ahead and
do some fighting. Then I invited him
to put the gloves on il he thought he
could help the cause.
1--WE went two rounds before they
stopped us. Leonard was always com
planning to the referee about my back
hand punch, saying I was using the
elbow. Let me say right here that I
gave Benny so much trouble that his
seconds cut the rounds short to two
minutes He is one guy can lace.
Dropped O'Dowd
''Do you know that I've dropped
every man I've ever fought? Why I
once had Mike O'Dowd knocked out
when some guy put the lights out in the
place.
II gave Jack Britton an awful beat
ing after he dropped me that time at
Shibe Park. 1t was in Buffalo last
winter and I guess Jack won't forget
it. Guess Jack won't give me q fight
for some time.
"Why, Mike Gibbons is another guy
that knows l can hit. 1 cracked a
couple of his ribs in Brooklyn two
years ago and he still carries a scar
on his nose which gave him in a
! fight last year.
To Mako 148 Pounds ,
'I'm going to make 146 pounds for
Leonard. I'm not big guy. And let
me tell you right here that I'll bet 1
won't have more than four pounds on
Leonard at that: This Leonard's one
big boy"
Bartfield fingered In Newark long
enough to see the Britton- O'Dowd
fight. He had fought both of the prin-
cipals and was a pretty fair judge.
"Well, I liked Britton in that fight +"
said the Scared soldier. ''It was a
tough one all the way, but whatever
edge there was belonged to Britton. He
outboxed and outgeneraled O'Dowd."
