chimes through the city streets.
Following the fine Chief of Police
Burke stated: Numerous complaints
had been received of late about the
bus drivers speeding, which appears
to have become habit with them.
These men when they sit behind the
wheel are seized by the speed mania
and try to make raceways out of the
avenues in the city. This practice
: must be stopped Immediately" The
chief further stated that all arrests
for speeding would be made as soon
as complaints were lodged against the
chauffeurs.
1t was only last month that the
Recorder fined Nels Kestrup of Fords
Corner. and Lloyd Weiner. of Metu-
chen, $50 each for driving through

LIBEL INVOLVES
G.O.P.LEADERS
Decision Reserved in Case Tried
in Bayonne District Court

BAYONNE, Aug. 20:-After hear
ing evidence in the libel suit of Pros
ecIltor Pierre p. Garven, of Hudson
county, against Republican State
Committeeman Charles v. Finch,
which was concluded yesterday af-
ternoon in the Bayonne district
court, Judge Peter Stillwell reserved
decision. He stated he desired time
in which to look up the law.
The suit was brought to recover
5000 damages, based on charges
made in newspapers by Finch that
Garven had received $4,000 from the
Public Service Corporation to be used
in Hudson county in behalf of former
Governor Edges campaign for Unit
ed States senator.
State Comptroller Bugbee was i'm
plicated in the libel controversy
earlier in the afternoon. Finch said
Bugbee told him of the alleged cam
paign money, and that two OF the
witnesses to the alleged conversation
were Samuel Smith, Kearny and
william v. Verdon, Hoboken. ~
Besides Bugbee, another Republi-
can state leader, and Frank f. Pat
terson of Camden, campaign manager
for David Baird in his quest for the
nomination for the short term Tor
United States senator last year. was
the principal witnesses yesterday af-
.ernoon.
Bugbee on the stand, while ad-
hitting that Finch William L. YER
don. leader of the Republican fac
ton in Hudson, opposed to Garven
and Samuel Smith. former chairman
of the Hudson County Republican
committee, had discussed political
expenditures in Hudson with him,
denied he had ever said that So, 1000
or any other sum from the Pubic
Service Corporation had been given
to Garven.
Mr.. Patterson denied ever receiy-
ing any money from the Public Ser
vice as Finch had alleged and said ne
had never given Garven penny ne
asserted, furthermore, that he WASH
Interested in Edges campaign.
Former Judge Robert Carey, coun-
iseI for Garven, in summing up, said
II was about time to stamp out moral
assassins of character.
The alleged libel occurred on Au.
gust 2. when Mr.. Finch is accused OF
having caused the following statement
to be published in the Jersey Journal'
IT refer to Mr.. Garven's having ac-
ceuted in 1918 $4,000 of Public Sery-
ice money, which was the Hudson
County allotment of the Public Serv;
ices contribution to Edges Senatorla
campaign"

ARMY FOOD SOON
SOLDOUT AGAIN
Hams, Timed Bacon and Syrup
Offered to Public Today
I CROWDS AWAIT The OPENING
Took Less Than Hour to Dis
pose Of the Available
Stock

The second opportunity was afford
ed residents here to avail themselves
of the low prices charged by the city
for army food this morning when
hams, timed bacon and syrup were
placed on the market. The six fire
houses soon had their stock all sold.
it taking less than an hour in most
cases to sell the food which was in
great demand.
Reports from those who last week
purchased the hams were so favor
able that housewives were waiting
in line at the fire houses almost an
hour before the doors opened.
Ham sold at 81 cents a pound, the
price being the same as that charged
last week. Syrup in ten pound cans,
containing one gallon, sold at rapid
rate at AZ cents per can. The timed
bacon was much in want also, twelve
pound cans being sold for $4.39s per
can which is slightly over SO cents
per pound.
The prices which the city is charg-
ing here for the army food Is much
cheaper than those asked in many
Dther municipalities. The ham in
many places is being sold at SO cents
q pound and the housewives are only
too glad to buy it. Here 81 cents-a
saving of five cents per pound-has
been charged on both sales days.
The same applies to other prices.
This difference in price can be ex-
planned by the fact that all transpor-
tation has been done in a large auto
truck loaned free of charge and un-
solicited by the Standard Under
ground Cable Works. Many other
places have been put to large ex-
pense hiring trucks to do the carting
from the army storehouses to the
place where the sale was to take
place. 49,
