the coal on hand and that available
from unaffected non union mines

Tho current supply of coal from

Mr.. Lane said. New England has
stored away two months supply

"moon-shine' liquor stills concealed
in the cellar of farm houses six miles
from the center of this town were
raided by Federal Revenue agents

rested charged with the illegal manu-
facture Of whiskey and two complete

Kills Widow and Her Son
in PIainfieId Murder

PLAINFIELD, Oct. Mrs. Kath-
crime E. Kerr, widow, of III East
Front street, and her fourteen-year-
old son, Stenman, were shot to death

POLICE RING IN
EACH HALF HOUR
New Action Probable Result of
Recent RObbeTIeS in This City

Probably as the result of the re-
cent robberies here action has been
taken to have the members of the To-
cal police force ring in every half
hour while on duty instead of once
every hour as was formerly the rule.
1t has been learned that 1t takes about
twenty minutes for patrolman to go
from one box on his beat to another
and gives him ten minutes "headway"
in which to make his call to head
quarters. Formerly one hour was al
lowed between calls.
AS a result of this new system 1t is
believed closer check can be kept
upon the members Of the force and If
the calls are not made on time the
patrolman missing his call can be
looked up quicker and made to give
an account for his failing to ring in.
1t is also the intention to have the
police patrol more of the side streets
Of the city than has been the habit.
Some changes in beats are likely in or
der to make this extra patrol work
possible

British Grand Fleet Could
Not Be Bottled up By U Boats
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence J

LONDON, Sept. GERMAN u
boats tried to bottle up the British
Grand Fleet in the Firth of Forth
during the latter part of the war;
says a London paper, which describes
this as the most ambitious tactical
operation undertaken by enemy un-
dersea craft.
The scheem aimed at the blocking
off of the entrance to the Forth by
the sowing of big mine field. Three
months of hard work were devoted to
the task by q considerable fleet OF
submarines, the mine being laid IN
the shape of a half-moon. But mina
sweepers had discovered the plan
and, as fast as the mines were plant-
ed, they were cleared away.
1t is recalled that other similar at
tempts to trap the fleet were made in
1915 In the Moray Firth, when over
400 mines were laid. and in 1916 az
the Orkneys. In round numbers, on
these three occasions. the German3
laid 1,100 mines at cost of $1,000
each. The King Edward was the only
fighting ship that fell victim In these
operations.
Enormous numbers OF mines were
laid by the Germans off Harwich. 1t
was found that these fields were
spread regularly at ten-day intervals,
so British sweepers occasionally Ieff
portions of these waters unswept sos
that when the next batch OF subma-
rines came along they ran afoul OF
their own mines.
The task of clearing British waters
of mines is almost completed.

AS result of the accident at

an automobile was struck by Gen.

train at the Church avenue crossing,
John A. Hall, of sewaren, died last
night in the Monmouth Memorial
Hospital at Long Branch at 1885
o'clock. Mr.. Hall was the third oc-
cupant of the automobile who has
died, his wife and her mother, Mrs.
Franklin, having died before they
could be removed to q hospital.
Martin Gaffey, the chauffeur of the
automo obtle, Is still in the Monmouth
Memorial Hospital at Long Branch
suffering with a fracture of the left
thigh. 1t was reported at the insti-
tuition today that his condition Is fair
1y good. Gaffey is q resident of At
lantic Highlands, at which place the
in their cottage. They were returning
to their winter home in Sewaren yes
terday when the accident occurred.
The Church avenue crossing is near
the railroad station. and 1t was learn
ed today there is no flagman to warn
traffic to look out for the cars. How
ever, a regulation warning sign is
placed at the crossing. The Hall ma
chine was running at fair rate OF
speed and from what could be learn
ed, 1t would seem that they were not
watching for the railroad trains as
they should. The curtains of the au-
tomobile were down and the machine
closed in this way to keep out the
rain. This fact no doubt interfered
somewhat with the chauffeur's view
Of the track. The train which struck
the automobile is known as the mail
train and is due at the Keansburg
station at 10 o'clock. 1t is said that
the railroad track is not obstructed
from the view of traffic at this point.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2:-Interven-
ton by the American naval forces at
Trau, Dalmatia, prevented bloodshed
which would perhaps have resulted
In a state of actual war between Italy
and Jugo Slavia," according to a re-
port from Admiral Knapp, command
ing American naval forces in Euro

ate today by Secretary Daniels.
American sailors were not landed
Admiral Knapp said until after Amer
lean and italian officers who had been
sent to Trau had induced the Italian
raiders to withdraw after they had
captured the small Serbian garrison.
One Italian officer and three men were
left behind and the American blue
Jackets were sent ashore to protect
them and to police the town until Ser
bian troops should arrive the Admiral
said.
The Americans acted, Admiral
Knapp said, at the request of the Ital-

matian coast and the force was with
drawn Immediately after the Serbians
arrived and took charge. Meantime
the commander of the Italian raiders
was ordered to trial by court martial

proposition Of giving Italy mandate
over their country. in connection with
the settlement of the entire Dalma-

friction would be inevitable. Red
Cross officers who have just arrived
in Paris from Albania say that ma
tives of that country are sniptng at
italians and showing resentment at
