Governor, Through Adiutant
General, Takes Up Militia Plan
With Washington

TRENTON. April 16-For the pur-
pose of being in a position to meet
any emergency which might arise
within the confines of the state. Adju-
tant General Frederick Gilkyson, has
renewed a request he made some time
ago through Governor Edge to the
War Department for permission to or
ganize WI regiments of National
Guard infantry. The requests have
been for authority under the provi-
sions of Sections 60 and 81 of the Ma
ton Defense Act of 1916. In the last
request for this permission General
Gilkyson said among other things: T.
During the past two months there
have been numerous labor difficulties
in many sections of the state, and at
present there are strikes In Morris and
Passaic counties, Involving over 20, 900
laborers. The growing discomfort on
the part of labor. and the large tenn
porary foreign population, increase
the liability of riot and disorder, which
facts, in my opinion. justify the au-
t~horization by the Federal authorities
of an adequate military force for the
purpose of securing proper protection
for the people and Industries OF the
state, and to meet any emergency and
suppress riot or disorder which may
arise beyond the power of local au-
thoritieS to Quell."

NEW BRUNSWICK, April TO-
Raymond Banks. the chauffeur
charged with manslaughtcr rs the re-
suit of the running down and fatally
iniuring Francisco Russo, a child. in
Roosevelt. several weeks ago. vas
found not guilty yesterday afternoon
by a jury after forty-1ve minutes de-
liberation.
Banks. who was charged with in
voluntary m~anslaughter, backed a
three ton truck out of A street into
Thomas street, Roosevelt. striking and
killing f~our-year-old Francisco Russo.
The accident happened on March IL.
Angelo Russo. father of the dead
child. was the first witness for the
state. TIE testified hat the accident
happened about $3.50 y. m. His first
knowledge Of the affair was the time
when the dead child was carried to his
home. which is just a few doors from
the Tobias store.
Alexander Broccoli. who was an eye
witness and was the one who carried
the body to the Russo home. stated
that the left front wheel passed over
the child, and that she stood within
two feet of the wheel at the time the
truck was backed into the intersect-
Ing street. Broccoli claimed to have
come u of the store just as the driver
was getting on TO his seat.
quite n ullefcnce OF oplhlon WAS
given az TO just which wheels of the
machine stuck the child. Barbara
Danko. who lived across tho street
from the Tobias store, said that the
child was run over first by right hand
rear wheel, hen by the right hand
front wheel. Gabriel Kochi stated
that the right hand front wheel only
passed over the body and that the
child was in the middle OF the street
at the time. The d~efendent took the
stand In his own behalf after his coun-
Gil asked the court for a directed YER
dict on the grounds that the state had
failed to show proof of negligence.
Judge DAILY overruled and coucil took
exception.
In his testimony Banks told about
the same story as Berry. The first he
was aware that an accident had hap
pencd was after the truck had moved
back about five feet, and he saw the
body on the ground in front of the
machine. He also said that the child
vas run over by the wheels on the
right hand side of the machine. but
whether by both front and rear
wheels he did not know. 4

THE FLORIDA POTATO CROP

Announcement of first shipments
Of potatoes are beginning to appear
from various sections of the state and
the condition Of the potato crop Is
being discussed by the state papers.
In the famous Hastings potato section
where the industry originated In
Florida, the first shipments were
made Tuesday. This section has al
most as large an acreage as other
years but some damage was done by
excessive rain during. the early part
of the month and It is believed thai
the crop will be short this year.
Fifteen years ago Florida was i'm
porting practically all Of Its potatoes
and even ten years ago there were
few raised In the state outside of the
Hastings section, but the past five
years has seen the industry extended
to nearly every county In the state
and this year thsre will be both
spring and fall crops of potatoes,
sufficient to supply home consump
ticn and export probably a million
barrels. With good prices in sight
this should bring to the state approx
imately five million dollars, as the
prices will probably range from "a to
81 barrel this year.
Last year Florida potatoes were a
drug on the market because OF exist
ing conditions in the north. In 1917
the potato crop OF the entire country
was the largest in its history and an
unusual quantity of potatoes were
placed in storage. At the beginning
of the year the freight conditions
were so congested that the storage
potatoes could not be moved and as Il
was an unusually late spring the old
rotatoes carried over in fine condition
and in the spring they were dumped
on the market in such quantities that
the price was very lew and the Flor
ida potatoes, raised at greater ex-
pense could not be marketed profit
ably. The result was that Florida
potato growers lost money last year
The conditions this year are much
more favorable for Florida growers
