Liquor Foes Counsel Declares
Disclaimer Was Not Filed
Legally.

The Anti-Saloon League Of New
Jersey has forwarded to Thomas +.
McCran, hold-over Republican At
torney General Of the state, a brief
giving its grounds for urging that
measures be taken to annul the
election of Edward l. Edwards as
Governor and of twelve Essex County
AssemblSmen opposed. like Mr..
Edwards, to bone-dry enforcement of
the National Prohibition laws.
q. Row land Munroe, counsel for
the Anti Saloon League, states that
Mr.. Edwards made no legal d!savowal
OF the lavish expenditures" in ad-
vertising on his behalf by anti-pro-
hfbition agencies and various county
and State committees, in excess Of
the $4,000 permitted by law. Mr..
Aunroe gives many legal decisions

stated on his behalf, did sond q dis

day that his action yesterday before

tlect Edwards might wish to inst-
tute. He said he believed the valid
kty Of both laws should be cstab-
lished, and that if Mr.. Edwards
A should instruct him he would take

''Without consulting any State Of

Jersey a defendant to his suit he
said ''If had consented to the Ill

The brief submitted by The Anti
Saloon League is in reply to a letter
kron Attorney General McCran to

There Is steadily increasing de- mand for aircraft of the commercial type" says a report made to the As sociation, but, contrary to some pub lished reports. the demand does not equal the supply. Factories now in operation in the United States could construct ten times the number of air craft which optimists estimate would be required this year."
 A trip through the country taken by representatives of the Association re- vealed some interesting uses to which aircraft are being put.

during May has continued without
 abatement for three months. May and June made new high levels of 1 retail business. July has kept the | pace.
 | As the result the merchants have made a good turnover. Smaller profits, it is true, but they disposed of stocks on which they owed money; they have come clear with the banks and they are in a good position for the fall trade"
 TO BUY CAREFULLY , The merchants have not only had { their turnover of goods, but they have become quite cautious in purchases for future delivery. In fact, they may be said to be buying as little as possible, over and above immediate require ments. They are playing a remarkably safe game with the manufacturer and the latter is the party who is holding the bag that the merchant at one time held.
 For instance, jewellers quit buying for awhile. Soon after they did that the manufacturers and jobbers of jew elers commenced notifying them of certain trade concessions. Heretofore it had been the other way.
 On the other hand, it is equally true that replacement prices are above those being now charged for goods offered by the retail merchant. Fall delivery prices indicate an increase rather than a decrease.
 MARKET UNCERTAIN
 This state of affairs tends further to keep the retail merchant from buying far ahead. He is hedging against a pos sible reduction by the manufacturer later on by buying for future delivery only what he knows he must have What effect this buying from hand to mouth will have is another nut for the manufacturer and the jobber to crack.
 Retail merchants agree that the
 federal reserve system, in tighten
 ing the money market, had much to
 do with the stock turnovers. hut
 they seem to believe that it was the
 wise thing to do and have appar-
 entIy welcomed it as the right step
 in the process of readiustment and
 more normal prices.
 Summarizing the retail mercantile situation it appears that the merchants have made a good turnover, have emptied their shelves, have met their obligations, are in good shape for the fall and winter and are purchasing for future delivery in such a manner as to observe a safe and sound mercantile policy.

 Regarding the average of increase in volume of business in May, June and July of this year compared to the same period in 1919, one of the Birmingham merchants said:

 An endless chain college scholar ship has been started by John Borg, Of New York. Recently he provided a s25,000 endowment for the High school of Union Hill, N. J. From the income one pupil graduating each year will be enabled to take the full course at Rutgers University. The endowment covers not only tuition lees but also a payment of S400 for expenses the first year and $200 for each of the three succeeding years. What makes the endowment plan un usual is that each successful candi- date is required to give moral pledge that he will endeavor within ten years after graduation to place himself in a position to extend to some boy, not necessarily from the same high school the same opportunities that he en- loved through MT. Borg's generosity. The winners of this scholarship may send the boy to any college or univers- ty the idea being to eventually make the plan country wide.

Cremation ThJUarts
Touch With Spirits,
Says French S0UGnt
Departed Interest SelUes in
Affairs and People Attract
ing Them Before Death

PARIS, Oct. 26.-Americans are de-
priving themselves of the possibility
of contact and communication with
the spirits of their dead because of
the practice of cremation, so com
mon in the United States, in the opin-
ion of Prof Camille Flammarion,
noted French scientist and astrono-
mer.
According to Flammarion, spirits
may not be immortal, but 1t has
been established definitely that after
death they continue for a time to
float about in the immediate vicinity
of their former earthly habitation.
At the age of so the professor is
about to publish the results Of his
lifetime's research and study of the
mystery of death.
This publication. he said today,
will contain authenticated records Of
thousands of cases that leave no
doubt the spirits of the dead remain
on earth and interest themselves in
the affairs and people in which they
were interested before death.
Whether, after this period, the
spirits continue immortal, Flam-
marion declared frankly he does not
know.
II am not Spiritualist and refuse
10 make conclusions or build up a
philosophy based on experiences in
which credulity or auto suggestion
play an important part" Flammarion
said.
But there are spirits. There are
haunted houses, spparitions and
phantoms. Conversations are held
with the dead. There is absolutely
no collective hallucination that can
explain certain sounds, certain move
ments of objects and above all, certain
precise revelations previously I'M
known to any one present. The
Psychic Association OF Nancy has just
communicated one such instance to
me that is remarkable and convtnc-
ing.
For that reason I am opposed TO
cremation which constitutes not only
an excessive destruction, but one per
haps painful 10 the departed spirit.
For they see us and hear US.
Apparently death changes them
very little"

AMERICAN LEADERS
TAKING ISSUE

CHICAGO. Oct 26.--Cremation aids
Communication with spirits, accord
ing to leading theosophists Of chi
cago who today took issue with Ca
mile Fiammerion. noted French sci
enlist. that the burning OF the body
causes difficulty ia establishing lines
Of communication with the dead.
"slow disintegration OF the body
after burial tends to hold the soul
earth bound. but cremation frees it
instantly. thereby permitting tho
spirit to Communicate at once" said
Miss Gail Wilson. trustee OF the
American section OF the Theosophi-
cal Society.
Walter G.. Greenleaf, theosophIst,
held cremation Is actually the only
process OF disIntegrstlng the body
by rapid combustion instead Of the
slow process known as decay.
1T seems likely that speed or
slowness OF the process can have
little or no effect on the subtler
body in WHICH a man lives during
the earlier stages Of BIS postmortem
experiences" no said.
Miss Wilson and Greenleaf agreed
that under ordinary circumstances
81 takes about thirty six hours after
death for the soul 10 pass TO the
spirit world.
They intimHted that perhaps tho
passing Of the soul Is quicker when
the mortal body Is cremsted.
