IN THIS CITY
Democrats Hear Judge CIeary
County Candidates Also
Give Their Platforms

George Silzer is a judge of the
falrest kind. He has always done
everything in his power to benefit
the public, the workingman and to
BETTER conditions. He is free man
and not tied down by any clique
So spoke James A. Kerwin of Jer-
sey City last night at a meeting of
the Perth Amboy Democratic Club.
Judge silzer to my estimation is
a judge of the fairest kind. How do
l know. l have been working with
JuGge Silzer for a number of years
ard / have never known him yet to
give anything but justice to any man
who came before him. l remember
particularly that minors were some
times called before Judge SilZer TO
pay some very large judgment. In
stead of prosecuting the young per-
son, he would have the attorneys set
tie the case among themselves and
at least lower the amount of judg-
nent.
"As for Frelinghuysen, he hasn't
chance. Here only last week he
was forced to leave meetings and
The people simply ignored him and
would leave the hall before they
would listen to him. in spite OF his
efforts and his pleadings for them
to listen to what he had to say.

hands with everyone of you" Mr..
Perrine stated that he believed in
highway patrol. saying that high
ways should be patroled to protect
the people Of Middlesex county and
of the state. He added that IL he
were elected he would serve the
people to the best of his ability and
put over this highway patrol in Or
der to make the roads of the state
fit to travel on.
Mr.. Hallahan in his talk asked
the people for their earnest support
saying that they would have at
least little improvement if he
were elected.
David Wilentz and President of
the Democratic Club John Kelly
explained the expenses attached 10
the keeping up of the organization
and urged the members to contri-
butte what they could afford. a
woman who was present started the
ball rolling with dollar and before
ten minutes had elapsed over $3.50
was realized. Twenty-Five dollars
of this was received from the Ital-
ian Democratic Club.
James Baker of Jersey City was
then called upon to say a few
words. lie with his comical poetry
and sayings enlightened those pres
ent to the faults and failings Of
the leading politicians of the state.
He urged the men to think on cleo
ton day, and explained how little
a candidate can do if he hasn't the
help of his party.

ISSUE COAL
PROCLAMATION
Governor Orders Dealers Not
to Charge Percentage of
Profit Greater Than in
March
INCREASE OF IS CENTS
Ratification of Resolutions
Given Embodying Provisions
Outlined by Edwards
INCREASE OF IS CENTS

TRENTON, Sept. 23.-By execu-
tive proclamation Governor Edwards
today ordered that coal dealers SELL
Ing anthracite shall not charge per-
centage of profit greater than that
made last March, before the ccal
strike began, and also. that despite
the fact that the price of anthracite
at the mines Is 40 cents more per
gross ton than it was last March,
the price charged consumers here
shall not be more than is cents
more than it was last March. This
latter provision is inserted to pre-
vent retail dealers from telling con-
suners that the 40 cent increase
at the mine has to be made up by
them. Although the coal does cost
the governor, the freight rates from
the Pennsylvania mines to New
Jersey have been reduced on an
average of 27 cents per ton. so that
an increase in retail prices of Is
cents per ton will more than make
Up for the difference in cost at the
mines.
Thus ruling means rnat anthracite
will cost New Jersey consumers
about S13.25 per ton this winter.
Last March it cost around 1910.
OF course dealers can sell for less
il they want to. The governors
proclamation calls for maximum
but not minimum prices.
The executive proclamation is is
sued as a ratification of resolutions
embodying the above provisions,
ADOPTED by the New Jersey Fuel
Commission yesterday after previous
conferences with the Pennsylvania
and federal fuel authorities. The
New Jersey commission. in its reso-
luton, declares 1t has the support of
tho various wholesale coal dealers
exchanges of this state in its pro-
gram, and expects that summary ac-
ton will not be needed to prevent
profiteering.
Should the occasion arise, how
ever, declares the commission, they
have the assurance of the federal
authorities and of the Pennsylvania
Commission, which controls the an
thracite fields, that any and all at
tempts at divergence from this rule,
or profiteering will be promptly
handled, with a view to suppressing
any and all efforts in that direction"
To this is added the authority of an
executive emergency proclamation.

STILL TRUSTING
SLAIN RECTOR
Resolutions Adopted by Off,
ciaIs of Rev. Mr.. Halls Par
ish Expressing Sympathy

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. "a
Baffled in their efforts to trace the
slayer or slayers of the Rev. Ed
ward Wheeler Hall, rector of the
Protestant Episcopal church of ST.
John the Evangelist and his choir
leader, Ms. Eleanor Reinhardt
Mills, wife of the church sexton, au-
thorities today pinned their hopes on
getting some new light through vol
unteer statements by members OF the
church.
A public appeal with a promise
of protection from publicity was
made by Prosecutor Stricken for any
one who will communicate facts
bearing on the mystery.
Some detectives believe that the
rector was shot in the front seat OF
an automobile and that Mrs. Mills
broke her ankle in jumping from
car.
While still clinging to the theory
that jealousy prompted the shooting
detectives were inclined to look
more closely into the suggestion that
they were lured to their death.
The tension of the weeks investi-
CATION has proven too much for Mrs.
Hall and she was unable to see cali
ers. She was said to be on the verge
of collapse.
James Mills, the dead choirleader's
husband, told newspaper men that
detectives have not hesitatSd to ask
him point blank whether he shot his
wife and the rector.
He said that he agreed with the
theory that the rector and Mrs. Mills
may have been shot by some woman
in the congregation who was Jealous
of his wife.
A resolution of sympathy was
passed by the wardens and vestry-
men of DIR. Halls church last night.
The resolution follows:
'The Wardens and vestrymen OF
the Church of st. John the Evange
list row assembled in meeting,
wish to express their heartfelt sor-
SOW on the death of their dear rec
tor, Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, and
also wish to emphasize their contin-
ued faith and trust in him. believ-
irg him to be loyal and true to his
God and church.
"Signed by c. r. ID. Phelps, sem
ior warden and Henry l.. Bartholo-
NEW, junior warden"
Copies Of the resolution were sent
to his widow and family. put on the
records of the church and given to
the press.
Vestryman William G.. Bearman'
member of the vestry for fifteen
Years and whose wife is cousin OF
Mrs. Hall. was asked If a resoiu-
ton had been adopted on the death
% Mrs. Mills and after some hesi-
tation. he replied that the matter
had not been discussed. He said
that the vestrymen had a lot OF
business last night, but that same
would surely be brought up at
later meeting.
Prosecutor Beekman and County
Detective Totten. both of Somerset
county. were in New Brunswick
early this morning. and Assistant
Prosecutor Toolan and the Middle
sex detectives were also prepared
for work at an early hour.
