that all bills must be filed by Monday
February 6, and quick action was
necessary to meet the emergency. A
conference of prosecutors and others
who drafted the Van Ness act was
held on Friday, February 3, in New
ark. those participating being Hon.
Geo. S. Hobart, Colonel George t.
vickers, assistant prosecutor OF Hud-
son County; Judge Wilbur A Mott
assistant prosecutor of Essex County;
Charles A. Wolverton, prosecutor Of
Camden County, and G. Rowland Mum
roe. attorney of the Anti-Saloon
League. :
In view of the approval by both the
| Supreme Court and the Court of Err
rors and Appeals of every feature OF
the Van Ness act, there is no occa-
sion for any drastic changes to be
made in the new law. In determining
the real sentiment OF the court, to he
majority votes for the several disputed
PROPOSITIONS may be added the votes
of Justices Trenchard, Bergen and
Ninturn who, sitting as a branch of
the Supreme Court, voted unanimously
to sustain the law, but who were de-
barred from voting on the review OF
their own decision. On the four prop
ositions quoted above, the sentiment
of the court of IA for retaining the
law is as follows:
Proposition 1, nine; proposition 2,
nine: proposition 8, twelve; PROPOSE
ton 4, twelve.
The questions of the rights of
search and seizure, destruction of liq-
uors, and property rights in general,
as provided in the Van Ness act, are
unchanged.

JERSEYMAN TELLS OF PLIGHT Ov
REFUGEE JEWS IN EUROPE

Newark, February 14th.-Upon fl.
even of opening the Jewish Relis
drive in New Jersey-the campaign IA
collect funds for the relief of the wa,
and famine stricken Jews of Europe-
Felix Fuld, state chairman of the o,.
~ganization, has received a cablegram
from another Jerseyman telling II
conditions in one city of Europe.
The message is from Mayer Raskin
whose home is at SO Prescott street
Jersey City. Mr.. Raskin, who went
abroad as a special representative Of
the Joint Distribution Committee
cables that famine and disease-stricke
refugees from Russia, pouring into
Rrest-Litovsk, thronging public build.
ings and private houses, are spreading
tvphus. presenting almost insurmount.
able tasks for relief and medical
workers.
In a town which has no sewerage
no public baths, no work for refugees
and but one 60-bed hospital, the con.
ditions beggar description, says the
message. The Joint Distribution Com.
mittee is conducting the American
Jewish relief work throughout East
ern Europe, and the continuance of its
work depends on the success of the
$14,0 OO, 900 fund now being raised in
the United States. New Jerseys quota

February 26th and March 4th.
Mr.. Raskin's message says in part
"Since July l, 5000 refugees came to
Brest from Russia. l visited syna.
gogue where refugees were crowded
amid u~nspeakable conditions of mis-.
cry, filth, restitution and hunger.
Practically every Jewish family il
Brest is harboring refugees. Refu.
gees are spreading typhus among the
Brest population.
THE only Jewish hospital in Brea
was Communicated by the military
during the war, and was returned in
a deplorable condition, but has been
completely repaired by the Joint Dis
tribution Committee. This hospital,
with about so beds, is the only hos
pital for the entire Brest district
About $50 children are being kept by
the Joint Distribution COMMITTEE
workers at Brest. No provision has
been made for refugee children.
THE Refugee Department is making
superhuman efforts to get work for
refugees, but the difficulties, in view
of the terrible conditions, including
typhus, are almost insurmountable
No refugee child attends school.
''The sanitary conditions are ter
rible. There is no sewerage and nc
public bath. In a room 25 by 80 feet
l counted II families huddled together
Many of these were people of culture
and education and formerly were per
sons of means. 1t is to give such
young boys and girls a chance that
implore New Jersey to respond gener'
ously to the appeal"
In commenting upon Mr.. Raskin's
message, Mr.. Fuld said:
Conditions in Brest-Litovsk. ann
demand that New Jersey do ftB 'har'
in this campaign. However, the fac
that these scenes are duplicated in
hundreds of other places in Europe
makes it imperative that we devote
all u energies in raising not only
u quota, but in going far beyond it.
Every extra dollar raised will mean
that another little child has been fed
who otherwise would have starved to
death. l know that New Jersey will
make this campaign a success"

Only Lady Member at

to Senate

With the belatcd returns Of
Newbury now available it appears
that Miss Edna l.. Beard of
Orange, the only lady member
Of the last Legislature, was de-
feated for the nomination of coun-
ty senator by seven votes. The
successful candidate was Fredcr-
ick II. Bickford Of Bradford, well
known in this section Of the state.
Barre republicans had no can
didate for representative on the
official ballot but 456 of them
voted for John w. Gordon, he
well-known lawyer, and he is the
party's choice in the November
election.
Mason S. Stone Of Montpelier, =
former state superintendent Of ed
ucation, is the candidate for the
Legislature on both the repubIi-
can and democratic tickets. The
democrats had no candidate at
the primaries and Mr.. Stone re-
ceived six votes on the democratic
ballot.
The official returns from the
town of CRANKY shows that Abram
W. Footc had eight votes and Red
field Proctor had two. The re-
publican nominee for town repre-
sentative, Arthur w. Shores had
seven votes and Edward c. Lund
one.
Frank l.. Greene was given his
start in public life by being born
on Congress street in the city OF
St. Albans. Why shouldn't he
make good in congress?
Anyway Lieut.-Gov. Foote has
a whole lot of fun for a little
money.
Candidate Foote has issued this

Market

The warm weather and the pros-
poets of early shipments from the
mines are gradually dispelling the
coal hysteria and the outlook is
far better than a few weeks ago.
Some coal dealers are of the
opinion that if consumers will be
satisfied with present needs, their
wants can be handled.
Work is being rushed in the
mines and Vermont will come in
for its share of coal, in the opin-
ion of local dealers. Thirty car
loads of anthracite were shipped
to New York Wednesday, and
shipments to Vermont will begin
soon.
The largest coal distributing
company for Vermont, Burlington
wholesalers, assured a St. Johns
bury firm of dealers Wednesday
that they would start a shipment
for St. Johnsbury in ten days If
the hard coal comes through as
eXpeditiously as the bituminous

In the meantime Old Sol is tax

in when necessary. Wood, in rea-
sonable quantities can be supplied
at the same price as last year
