The child was Immediately removed

E. w. Bauman, of 70 Lincoln street,
Jersey City.
An investigation Instituted by
Traffic Officer Dunham showed that
the accident occurred when the boy
dashed out from behind truck and
attempted to cross the street. Due to
the fact that cars are parked at a
forty-five degree angle on one side
of Madison avenue passing machines
are compelled to travel close to-
gether and the driver had no chance
to halt his automobile when he saw
the boy. He did. however. swerve

CROP
Of CANDIDATES
Report Has it That John Kelly
Will Enter the Race
for Mayor
HAS NOTHING TO SAY
DR.. Smith Being Doomed as
Candidate Following DeveI-
opments of Last Night
HAS NOTHING TO SAY

Considerable comment has been
heard about the city since the publi-
cation in yesterdays Evening News
that John X. Sheehy, may become a
candidate for mayor on the Demo-
cratic ticket. All of Mr.. Sheehy's
friends are strong for his candidacy
and continue to urge that he be-
come the candidate. From the ef-
fects of the story published yester-
day it is likely that others who con-
template becoming candidates or
whose names have been mentioned
in connection with the coming race
for mayor will announce their in
tentions within a short time.
FROST LAST
John w. Kelly, president of the
City Democraticc Club, when ques-
toned today concerning Mr.. Sheehy
as a candidate, refused to make any
statement at this time. During the
past few days Mr.. Kelly has also
been mentioned as possible candi-
date and has refused to comment on
this report also.
DIR. John ". Smith, who for some
time past has been considered by
some the logical candidate, is report
ed to have announced to number
of friends last night that he INTENDS
to enter the ring and will be a can
didate for mayor. The report could
not be confirmed, however. for when
efforts were made to interview DIR.
Smith he was calling on his patients
and could not be located.
Although Former Mayor Frank
Dorsey has been mentioned, as q
candidate for the Office, from infor-
nation received from a leading
Democrat. is believed that he will
not be a candidate this fall. Mr..
Dorsey when seen recently. refused
to have anything to say.
From indications at this time. It
is likely that the Democrats will
have considerable trouble in pick
ing a candidate and this leads one
to believe that possibly the same
scheme will be followed as last fall,
when the people were allowed to
choose the candidate from number
of names on the primary ballot.

FAVORED
FOR GOVERNOR
Monmouth Co. Man Given
Boost by Senator Simpson
of Hudson County

TRENTON, April 22-What did
State Senator Alexander simpson, of
Hudson county, mean when he intro
duced former United States District
Attorney Elmer H. Geran, Of Mon
mouth, as "the next governor of New
Jersey" at the testimonial dinner
given by Ocean county Democrats
this week at Lakewood to their new
Democratic County Judge Harry E.
Newman and their new Prosecutor
Wilfred II. Jayne, of the same polit-
ical persuasion. Such a declaration
coming from Mr.. Simpson. an inte-
grail part of the Hudson Democratic
organization and. until Governor Ed
wards stepped in, the organization s
candidate for United States senator.
carries significance and has set the
political observers here to wonder
ing whether the Tuttle for governor.
Edwards for senator slate has gone
to smash.
A week ago it seemed to be the
foregone conclusion that the state
banking and insurance commissioner
would 60 on the November ticket as
the Democratic nominee for governor
unopposed with the chief executive
as his running mate for United
states senator. During the present
week also, Mr.. Tuttle. when impor-
tuned for statements as to his candi-
dacy, declared that he would have a
declaration to make in a week or
ten days. However, when last seen
he said that the exact time of his
entrance as a candidate was very IN
definite.
Simpsons reference to Geran, who
was the toastmaster at the Lakewood
dinner, might be construed several
ways. 1t might be regarded as an
attempt of the state senator to throw
a monkey wrench into the carefully
oiled machinery for the Tuttle-
Edwards slate. This is based on The
theory that Simpson does not like
the way he was jockeyed out of his
position in the U. s. senatorial race
after making declaration that he
would be a candidate. The only
thing that could stop the senator
from becoming a candidate would be
the governors entrance into the race
himself. That has happened. which
means that the elimination OF the
state senator.
Or it may be that Simpson is
speaking for the Hague Democrats in
booming Geran for governor. There
has been some talk that the Hudson
organization might bolt the Tuttle
candidacy and the fact that the
banking commissioner has been

TRY COMMUNICATION Zone
TICKET SCHEME ON THE
I.c.T. COMPANY CARS
Ten Cent Request of Com
pany is Allowed by
Utility Board
TRY SCHEME 6 MONTHS
Regular Patrons Will Pay
Practically Same Fare, as
at Present

TRENTON, April 22-Something
brand new in street railway fare in
creases in New Jersey was author
lied today by the Public Utility
Commissioners when. they allowed
an increase from to 10 cents per
zone on the lines of the Jersey Cen
trail Traction Company operating be-
tween Perth Amboy. Keyport, High
lands. Red Bank and near munich
)palities.
While the asked for ten cent cash
fare is allowed, the company must
sell Communication zone tickets at one
dollar per zone. Each ticket is good
tor one month and will entitle the
passenger to ride through the zone
for which it is issued on payment of
an additional cash fare of five cents.
The order. admittedly experimental
Is to go into effect within four weeks
for a period of six months.
The effect of the order is to con-
tinue In operation a fare CT approxi-
mately seven cents per zone for reg
rlar patrons of the company. while
occasional riders will pay three cents
more than formerly and so add
needed revenue to the conpany's re-
ceipts. A regular patron travelling
cnce each way twenty-five days a
month win pay two dollars and a
half in five cent cash fares plus one
dollar for the zone ticket for each
zone over which he rides. which Is
$3.50 or an average of seven cents
per zone. Those without comrnuta-
tion tickets would have to pay IS
Tor the same service.
The increase is allowed the COM
pany in order that it may improve
its service concerning which many
complaints have been received by
the utility commission. since August
of 1918, when the fare was raised
from five to six cents per zone. The
fare was again raised by the board
in December of the same year, when
it was made seven cents.
An application for ten cent fare
in April. 1920. was denied by the
board and another similar petition
filed in February, 1921, was not en-
tertained by the commission.
In the boards report OF today. it
is stated that "the company proposes
I'm the near future to make perna-
'nent repairs on such portions OF its
tracks as are considered to be in
such condition as to be conducive
to unsafe operation and it was inti-
mated that it is the company's pur-
pose to put back into the property
during the next two or three years
all available operating revenue nee
essary to place the property in prop
er physical condition.

Sir Edward Grigg, private secre,

proposition had been put forward td
government loans to Russia nor gov

idea of the financial and economic
experts is that when Russia reach.

investors assurance that there will
be legal basis for undertakings in
Russia and that foreigners viii have
proper protection abundant credits
will be forthcoming for development
of Russian resources.
The single important point of diff
ference between the Russian and al
lied representatives is the unwilling
ness of the former to restore the
title of foreigners property which
has been nationaliZed or requisitlon-
ed in Russia. although they are will
ing TO restore il to former owners
