U. S. District Attorney Calls for
Federal Grand Jury to Meet
Monday on Food Control

TRENTON. April 15:-Unitcd
States District Attorney for New Jer-
sey Joseph J.. Bodine has called the
federal grand jury to meet Monday
at Newark to consider violations of
the food control law. This act makes
1t crime to interfere or conspire to
interfere with the transportation of
food supplies and necessaries. Inn
prisonment for not more than two
years and a fine of not moro than
$4,000 are the penalties prescribed.
Necessities In nearly every part OF
the state have jumped in price since
the railroad employees left their posts,
says the district attorneys office.
Food trains have been left in railroad
yards which results in the food short
age.
Reports to the federal authorities
indicate that grocers and retail food
dealers have sharply advanced their
prices, taking advantage of the
strike. Where possible the federal
authorities intend to cooperate with
the county authorities who have been
asked to act by Governor Edwards.
The vicious circle of Increased
pay and increased cost still goes on"
said a statement from the district
attorneys Office today. There seems
to be an utter failure to realize that
money is not wealth and that wealth
means only accumulated things Of
value and that increased pay for de-
creased production viii not result In
reduction OF prices

Arthur Gano, the nine-year-old boy

sion and giving his four-year-old
brother q ride, was yesterday after
noon sent to. the Jamesburg Reform

other boys there and he delighted in
the chance to play with them. The
boy was sent to the home as an In

County Detective Peter Schweikert,

a car which he uses in making trips

The contract for the construction
work has been awarded TO the Snare

grading, excavating. making fills and
embankments will be started shortly

before the concrete work is started.
The reservoir will be of reinforced

bottom. walls and top. The cost OF
this concrete work represents about
ont half of the total construction cost
The contractor Is given until July
4, 1921 In which to complete the

months. Owing to the great work of
the concrete reservoir 1t will be nee
essary to allow the ground to settle
for some time, after the excavating is
completed before II will be possible to
go ahead with the construction work.
When completed the reservoir will
be covered over with sod so that a
park may be made on top of the large

PASS AMENDED
ELECTION BILL
Independents in Legislature
Demand Change in Pierson
MeaSure---60eS to House
81 speciol Correspo onaenr.


TRENTON, April 15-Yielding to
the demand of independent 1egisla-
tors for the elimination of straight
party voting, Republican senators have
materially amended the Pierson cleo
ton bill TO modify the election laws.
The bill passed the senate yesterday
Wednesday by the vote of thirteen to
eight, but the elimination of straight
party voting necessitates concurrence
by the assembly in the amended bill.
AS the measure now goes to the as
sembly 1t provides for the restoration
of party columns, but the voter will
not be required to vote blindly for
all party candidates. On roll call
Senators Runyon, of Union, and Whit
ney, of Morris, voted with the Demo-
Gratis who were solidly opposed to the
Pierson law.
Simpson said Governor Edwards
would be made a bigger man by such
an election law, but personally he
preferred the election machinery as
lit is at present.
Jitney Legislation
Important amendments were also
inserted in the Pierson bill to require
the Board of Public Utility Commisson-
ers to exercise supervision over jitney
corporations which passed the senate
yesterday. The vote was eleven to
six. Simpson opposed this bill on
the ground that it would not regulate
jitney competition with the trolley cor
porations but actually drive the Jitney
men out of business lie charged that
the interests backing the jitney bill
had combined in nation wide con-
certed effort to throttle the jitney en-
terprise. Simpson said that many of
the jitney operators 'were ex-service
men who had faced death for their
country only TO return to civil life
to be throttled by the prospect of New
Jersey driving them out of business.
Runyon took a stand, backing up
Simpson. Runyon pointed out that
a jitney corporation must apply to
the utility board and specify its pro-
posed route of travel. resulting in
state board attempting to assume Jur-
isdiction over local conditions with
which 1t was not familiar. Senator
White. of Atlantic. in opposing the
Pierson bill said Atlantic City found
no difficulty In regulating jitneys by
local ordnance and stood firm for the
principle of local rather than state
regulation.

try of the death of Paul De Mott, who
is said to have been killed while at

rest at Wesel near the Ruhr region,

family. From the reports OF Mrs
Esberg and many of his former as
sociates here, De Mott showed himself
at all times to be we'll behaved and
likable young man. His friends here
cannot understand how he could have
possibly become mixed up In aiding
the rebellion In Germany and believe
that he was really nthe inside, In
connection with his newspaper work,
as was his alibi before his death.
DE Mott left this country last year
in the capacity of a relief worker,
secured a position with the Red Cross
in London, and went with that or
ganization to France where he stayed
for eleven months. He then left for
Riga, Russia on relief work and later
became publicity agent for the Red
Cross. Although he gave up this work
some time later, his friends here IN
sist that it must have been while work
ing nthis capacity that the charges
which were responsible for his death
were brought.
De Mott was taken prisoner by gov
ernment troops near Dinslaken. south :
west of Wesel early last week and
charged with being in possession of
arms and aiding in the rebellion.
