By Special Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. b.-An-
other disagreement in one OF the vice
cIean-up trials being conducted here
before Judge Peter F. Daily and jury
marked the close of yesterdays court
session, when the jury after being
out since 1850 was ordered discharg-
ed at o'clock last night after havlns
failed to reach an agreement as 10
whether the defendant was guilty OF
innocent.
The defendant was William Del
more of 70 Madison avenue, Perth
Amboy drug clerk charged by Helen
McGraw, of Keashey, of grave crime.
Delmore's case yesterday was the
fourth to come up for trial in the
vice cleanup matters and not one OIL
the men defendants have been proven
guilty. In the first two trials in which
Joseph Dudash was the defendant the
jury in one case acquitted him OF
charges and in another disagreed.
Delmore on Tuesday was acquitted OF
a charge made by May Evagen, If
teen year old girl, and yesterday the
jury disagreed.
There will be no more trials Of
these vice cases this week and it is q
question whether the others will be
started next week owing to the mani
ner in which the defendants are win
ming their cases and the state losing
out.
On the trial list for next week are
the following cases:
Monday-James Milos, manslaught-

PARIS, Feb 5-Relations between
the allied powers and Germany seem
to have arrived at a crisis as a result
of tho refusal of Baron Won Lersner,
head Of the German delegation here,
to forward to Berlin the names of
Germans whose extradition is de-
manded by the ententes. This Incl
dent apparently finds an echo in the
attitude of the Berlin cabinet report
ed in London dispatches to have ex-
pressed through Gustav Noske, min
lister. of defense, seeming defiance to
the powers
Baron Won Lersner left for the
German capital last night.
The list of Germans accused of
violations of the laws of war whose
arraignment Is contemplated by the
allies will be sent to Berlin direct by
the council of ambasSa dors. 1t Is
pointed out here that measures in
tended to compel Germany to carry
out the extradition clauses of the
Versailles treaty will be adopted, but
there is no intimation as to their
nature.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-Tax legisla-

for next year was discussed today
at the first general conference which
Secretary Houston has had with the
treasury official staff.
Officials said nothing tangible had
been accomplished but they indicated
that methods of replacing the revenue
which would be sacrificed should the
excess profits tax be eliminated would
be the principal subject considered
While Mr. Houston's attitude on this
question has not been disclosed it
was generally believed that the new

in a line suggested by former Secre-

kEASBEY, Feb. 5:-Keasbey is

the result of the storm yesterday and
today Since o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon the trolley service to New
Brunswick and Metuchen has been

several places are ten and fifteen feet

Monmouth Situation

BIZ SDectGt Correspondent.
MATAWAN, Feb. 5--Snow in some
places as much as eight feet deep
has completely tied up this borough
and surrounding country. Not only
has all trolley service been abandon
ed but so high are the drifts that
train service to and from points north
and south on the New York 81 Long
Branch railroad is disarranged to
such an extent that it is impossible to
tell when one may expect a train.
Those commuters who did brave the
weather and snowdrifts were forced
to wait hours for the trains.
Early last night the Jersey Central
Traction Company gave up all at
temptS to operate cars on either the
Matawan line or the Keyport and
Matawan line and at 6 O'Clock. after
consuming more than two hours to
make the mile and a half run from
Freneau to the Matawan station, the
crew did not attempt to make the re-
turn trip and the car is now stalled
in several large drifts at the Mata-
wan depot.
Attempts were made by the Cen-
trail Railroad of New Jersey to keep
the lines open between Matawan and
East Long Branch and Matawan and
Freehold but these were unsuccess-
full. Shortly after o'clock this
morning the mail train left Matawan
for Freehold preceded by snow
plow. No word was received from
the train for several hours and then
it was learned that the plow and
train were both stalled In the huge
drifts at Morganville.
There were no trains In operation
between Matawan and East Long
Branch and it was said at the Mata-
wan station that the reason for this
was due to the fact that the ocean
| and high tide were again washing
away the tracks at Sea Bright and
doing great damage to that summer
| resort. Large drifts are also to be
found between MataWan and points
along the line to Atlantic Highlands.
The only train that ran anywhere
near on time was the Central tram
from Barnegat for New York which
arrives at this station at S:12 eacfl
morning. The fact that this train
came from so great a distance and
was on time was considered marvel-
Gus by railroad men. Between Mat
avian and Perth Anlboy the drifts in
| the railroad cuts are almost as high
| as the cylinders of the engines. For
| this reason it is almost impossible for
the trains to operate at any great
speed.
A feature of the storm is the m.
usually high tide in the Matawan
creek. All communication by road
between MataWan and Cliffwood Wis
impossible due to the high tide which
flooded the meadow. Due to the
great drifts and snow it is likely that
several days will elapse before traffic
will again be normal.
1t is feared that the storm may re-
suit in increasing the epidemic OF
influenza and grippe in Matawan and
vicinity, as the doctors use automo.
biles in making the trips to their
patients and as many OF these pa
tients reside several miles outside of
the borough it is almost impossible
for the doctors to call upon them.
Never since the storm of several
years ago has the borough been tied
up to such an extent as it is today
