 Scientists, surgeons and socio1ogista have been discussing in the public press in matter of fact, analytical phrases the question:
 'Wold not the baby be better off dead? Would 1t not be more humane to scientifically dispose of the child Had not Dr. Harry Belden refused seven years ago to perform an opera ton in the famous Baby Bo1lingar case that would have saved that ba- by's life because he knew the baby would become a hopeless imbecile?
 But-Baby Lebrasca case is going to be different. The theories of science have fallen like grain before the scythe through the dictum of

 The President said concert about the American merchant marine policy was not limited ito our own domain adding that the maritime nations of the world were in "comp1ete accord with the opposition here to the pending measure" He declared those nations had handicap right to but that he wished to stress the American view. point which he said should be the viewpoint from which one sees Amer lctn caIT1efS at sea, the dependence of American commerce and American vessels for American reliance in the event of war;
 MT. Harding declared it would be most discouraging if a measure of

 Dr. Bolstead never for a moment thought of scientifically doing away with the baby. "Our business" he said. 'is to preserve life-not destroy it."
 ''Who?' asked Gertrude Howe Brit ton, social worker, has the divine wisdom to say when a baby should live or die?''

 The petition which contained the signatures of some of tee most prominent people in New BrunS- wick was sent to the office of New Brunswick newspaper with the request that it be given pulp Hcity.
 It is understood that Judge Mott will ignore the petition and all efforts made to force through pub lie pressure her appearance be- fore the grand jury.
 Jury Probe Continues
 Somerville, N. J., Nov. 21-(1. N. S.)-As the grand jury of Somerset county convened for its second days ders on September 14th of Dr. Ed ward w. Hall, rector of St. John s Episcopal church and his choir sing er. Mrs Eleanor R. Mills, the state

 The new witness, George Sippel. @ cattle trader of Middlebush, N. J.. who came to light late yesterday af- .ernoon by a letter written by his wife to a New Brunswick newspaper, ira nkly admitted today that he had evidence which would shatter some essential parts of Mrs. Gibson'S story. Sippel was reluctant in making my statemknts but did declare that f anyone is convicted on the strength 1f Mrs. Gibson's eyewitness story, he would feel it his duty to appear be- fore the authorities of his own vol- ion ard refute certain essential parts of her testimony which to his own knowledge are untrue.
 Sippel said that on the night of he murder he drove by on Easton avenue, passing De Russey Lane.

 COAL
 CURB
L Legislature May Be Ask ed for Needed Author ity to Enforce Fair Coal Prices as Result of Price Boost by the Bridgeport Dealers.

CTS, State Fuel Administrator
 Thomas W. Russell was prepared
 today to- ask Governor Everett J:
 Lake to call special session of
 the legislature for needed author
 ity to enforce fair coal prices in
 this state.
 Bridgeport is the only city in the state, according to MT. Russell, where the coal dealers have ignored the fair price set by the local fuel administra- tor. Major James D. Skinner, Bridge ports fuel administration, recently set S155O as a fair price for a ton of anthracite coal.
 Despite this fact, however, city coal dealers are demanding $16.50 a ton for coal. They assert they have to pay more for furnace coal because of the increased prices now being asked at the mines and they point out that neither the local or state fuel admin lstrator have any power in law to en- force the so-called fair price.
 The state fuel administrator ad- mitted today he had received a let ter from Major skinner. complaining that the coal dealers of this city had set him at defiance, and said he would await further reports before taking action.
 Many families in this city are still without coal. It was learned today, and it is feared that the advance in price. taken in conjunction with the serious coal shortage alheady existing, will work serious hardship upon those in poor circumstances. Without proper heating facilities there is a tendency to contract pneumonia, several physi- clans asserted today, and in many cases while houses may not be abso- ,ute1y cold, there is a dampness and chill which is dangerous to health.
 According to Angus Thorne, super of charities, there has been no material increase so far in the number of applications for aid or for coal by the poor of the city. but this Fo i1 of ri foI %o comparatively mild weather which has prevailed of late.
