PUT A CRIMP IN CANADA

Surely it is time the American
government pinched itself and put
an end to Canadian propaganda aim
ed at stripping the United States of
its farming man power.
Publishers of weekly newspapers
particularly those in dictinctly farm
ing centers are being bombarded
with camouflaged news articles sent
out by the Canadian government
with the object Of advertising Cana
dian agricultural possibilities right
here in the United States.
The hope is that the publishers

EDGE ATTITUDE
|SQUEST|0NED
Has Done Practically Nothing
to Help FreIinghuysen's
Primary Campaign
MOTIVES ARE ADVANCED
Trenton is Wondering at His
Actions --WiII Run Himself
in 1924
MOTIVES ARE ADVANCED

TRENTON, Sept. 15.-What has
Walter E. Edge. Junior United States
senator from New Jersey, done to
date to help the reelection Of the
senior Republican senator from New
Jersey and his colleague, Joseph S.
Frelinghuysen? This Is a timely
question which political observers
are now able to ask themselves. 1t
is especially trite when the fact
lcoms up that the primary election
Is less than two weeks away and
Mr.. Frelinghuysen Is busy warding
off the shafts of George l.. Record,
the Jersey City lawyer. who is en-
deavoring to capture the G. o. P.
senatorial nomination.
Can the memory of any follower
of state politics refer or recall any
single move that Senator Edge has
made this year to aid in the return
| to Washington of his brother sena-
Edge favor for the Republican SEN
atorial nomination this fall? Is he
against Frelinghuysen for re-nomi-
nation? Surely he has not gone over
to the Record camp? These are the
pertinent questions which are
prompted by the evident lack of in
terest upon the part of the Atlantic
City statesman in the present Repub-
lican senatorial fight.
There Is one more question which
might be asked and which has often
been heard in the whispering gall
lery of the state political arena.
Does Edge desire a situation which
would result in his having a Demo-
cratic colleague in the United States
senate at Washington Not one Of
those who ask questions would i'm
pugn the junior senator's Republl-
canism, but they base their query on
the assumption that with only one
man In the upper branch OF congress
representing the Republican party of
New Jersey. that one man could cor
raj all the prestige and patronage
to himself. Now it is divided be-
tween Frelinghuysen and Edge with
the former, because of seniority,
having just little of the "edge," as
they say In sporting vernacular. on
the junior senator, whose name Is
Edge.
Politics Is a game of grab but
there are those in the camp of the
Edge enemies in the Republican
party in New Jersey, who think that
he has endeavored in the past to ap-
portion entirely too much power to
himself. They also know of his ap-
parent ambition to control the ,e-
publican organization throughout
the state and where would there be
better lever to aid in that aim than
to be the sole Republican represen.
tative of New Jersey in the United
States senate in a Republican ma
tional administration.

KRAMER WILL DISPUTE
COMPROMISE; FAMILY
TO GET ENTIRE ESTATE

Mr.. Lyon declared that whatever
way Judge Daily might decide the
case, the defeated side would make
an appeal compiling expenses
against the estate and taking up
court time. The court then made
it known that the agreement har
monized with the Judgment of the
court.
The court brought out that the
will was not a valid one, because the
mans mind was not in condition to
draw up the document. Judge Daily
said that it is customary for him to
file an opinion detailing the reason
for his decision. but that in this case
1t was not necessary inasmuch as an
agreement already had been reach
ed. The court made it known that
his decision, regardless Of whether
or not an agreement had been reach
ed, would have been given today
and was one reached after serious
and conscious thought.
A decree will be entered in the
surrogates court according to the
judgment of the court. Inasmuch
as n long time has been spent IN liti-
cation 1t was decided to allow the
present administrator to retain his
POSITION until the case is finally dis
posed of.
The counsel fees for this case
were agreed upon as follows: For
mer Senator Thomas Brown, repre-
sentative of the contestants, $4,000;
Jacob M. Klein, who drew up the
will, $4,000; Adrian Lyon. represea-
tative of the Perth Amboy City Hos
pital, 800, and Charles C. HON.
mann, attorney for the Perth Amboy
Trust Company, executors of the
estate, $3.50.

HIS SPIRITUAL ADVISER
WILL HANG HIM TODAY

DES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 16.-
Eugene Weeks will be hanged today
by his spiritual adviser, who spent
the last night vigil with him, praying
and trying to console him in his last
hours.
In this unique case the spiritual
adviser is also the hangman because
he is Sheriff Winifred e. Robb, for
merly holding Des Moines pastor
ate, and chaplain of the 16Sth In
fantry during the World War.
When elected sheriff Mr.. Robb re-
signed his pastorate. He said that
while he did not like the job of
hangman, he would not evade his
duty. He was elected largely on the
strength of his war record.
Weeks was convicted on the evil
dence of his wife. who turned States
evidence and was reported to have
sought the $1,000 reward for his
conviction. In the doomed mans
last hours she called at the prison
and asked his forgiveness.
I'm glad to see you. OF course
I'll forgive you, honey" he said. Be-
cause of Weeks record as deserter
the Des Moines American Legion re-
fused the woman's request to take
charge of the funeral.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 49,
Through an agreement between the
parties directly concerned and their
counsels, the Joseph Kramer will
case was definitely settled in the
county court before Judge Peter f.
DAILY this morning. 1t was decided
not to probate the will of the Perth
Amboy man who died in Los Angeles
during June of 1920.
The general understanding Is that
through some compromise this
agreement was made. Mrs. Kramer
and her children will get the entire
value of the estate which Is esti-
mated at about $50,000, minus the
fees Of counsel, expenses of court
litigation and any other outstand-
ing claims. 1t was originally
thought that the estate was valued at
between $15O,000 and 100000.
1t is said that the Perth Amboy
City Hospital is to receive $4,000
and a Jewish society in Perth Am
boy the same amount. This is be-
lieved to be part of the compro-
mise.
While court was in session this
morning, the lawyers interested in
the case held a conference in the
judges chambers and Immediately
after court was over, Former Judge
Adrian Lyon, representing the Perth
Amboy City Hospital addressed the
court and said that counsel had
agreed that the objections to the
will should be sustained. He point
ed out that when the litigation was
started the estate was valued at be-
tween $150,00O and 100000, but
since then it has been learned tEat
the estate Is worth about $4,000.

Peter Weiner. now out on bai'
pending sentence following his trial
during which he admitted placing Q
bomb in the milk wagon of Harry
Langweber on April 90. was not In
court this morning. Whether or not
he will plead guilty to the three
counts against him and the four
other men in this case Is a question.
Abraham Bedick and Max Weiss
man, owners of the Perth Amboy
Milk & Cream Company, are two Of
tho men indicted as being the ouea
who instructed Weiner and two
other employees to make the bomb
and place it in Langweber's wagon.
The other two men indicted are:
John Stanko and John Kirschman,,
employees at the Perth Amboy 4lk
& Cream Company's depot, who a1e
charged with assisting Weiner to
gather the materials and make the
bomb.
The indictments were returned on
three counts in each case. The first
count is that all five defendants con-
spired illegally to injure Langwe-
ber by causing an explosive bomb
to be placed in his milk wagon. The
second count Is charge Of con-
spiracy to commit a crime by caus-
ing an explosion Of powder to dam
age and injure Langweber's property.
The third count Is under the old
common law, being a charge of con-
spiracy to drive Langweber out Of
business by threats, violence and the
destruction of his property.
Harry X. Golenbock, Of Perth Am.
boy, representing the defendants,
stated that the necessary bail would
be furnished to free the men so that

which has not been set.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon Attor-
ney Golenbock appeared before
Judge DAILY and requested a reduc-
ton in the bail of the indicted men
on the grounds that they were In
business in Perth Amboy. The bail
was reduced from $4,000 to $4,000 by
the Judge, Alex Kosene furnishing
the necessary bond for Bedick and
| Weissman while Mary Dlabik fur
| nished bail for Stanko and John
| Stanko furnished bail for Kirsch-
man.
There are many phases to the
milk situation in Perth Amboy ana
| 1t Is a question whether or not all OF
| these will be brought to light in any
| court actions which will be aired in
| the near future.
Unusual secrecy has veiled the
workings of the grand jury in con-
Hsidering the milk cases and, as re-
suit little can be learned Of the sub
| jects relative to the conditions in
Perth Amboy with regard to the
milk supply which came before the
jurymen at their sessions.
Many things have happened In
Perth Amboy which, on the face OF
| things, appear unusual and for
which few satisfactory explanations
have ever been made.

Coal For This City'S
Use Has A11lved

The Central Railroad of New
Jersey has the distinction of be-
ing the first railroad to bring a
supply of anthracite coal into
Perth Amboy for local consump-
ton and the Lehigh g. Wilkes
Barre Coal Company deserves
similar credit for being the first
company to look after the needs
of local dealers. At $3.50 o'clock
this morning Central train
brought two cars of anthracite
coal to local dealers, Charles NJ.
Peterson getting a car of forty
five tons of egg coal from the
Lehigh & Wilkes-Barre Coal
Company. while the Raritan Coal
& Charcoal Company received a
ear of fresh mined egg coal.
These two companies are the
only ones in the city served by
the Central railroad. Although
the Lehigh Valley railroad has
been shipping coal into Perth
Arnboy this week, the cars have
gone directly to the coal decks
where the coal was dumped into
barges and shipped to other
ports.
