BULLETIN

The United States Government Or

purchased by Sigmund Eisner of
Red Bank, for $4,000 and the
buildings by the Harris Wrecking
Company, Of Chicago, for S145,000.
The bidding for Eisner was done by
Fred Schneider, of New Brunswick,
while a Mr.. Livingston bid for the
wrecking company.
Bidding for the land, buildings
and fence at the United States Gov
ernment Ordnance Depot at Nor
gan began about 1880 o'clock this
morning. At the time the bidding
commenced about 500 persons were
on the depot property, many of them
arriving in autom obiles which num-
bered ESQ as they were parked with
in the enclosure.
According to the best information
obtainable when the bidding began
it is the intention of the government
to sell the plant as whole and then
parcel by parcel, accepting the fig
ure which is the highest.
The sale consists of the 1,433 acres
of land on which the depot is To-
Gated; 160 buildings, two being of
brick construction and the balance
of iron or wood. There is $4,000
feet of fence, a dock with deep water

ty-three and one-third miles of rail-

offered for sale as a whole the high
est bidder was Julius Pasik of New

and buildings was $640,000, it was

COAL APLENTY
BEING MINED
But Most of it is Being Ship
ped to Lake Ports, Gov
ernor SiIzer is Told
TO AVERT SHORTAGE
Action Taken to Provide Sup
ply of Fuel for the Coming
Winter
TO AVERT SHORTAGE

TRENTON, June 25:-There is a
Substantial amount of coal now be-
ing mined according to information
gotten by Governor Silzer from the
federal coal distributor, but most of
1t is being sent to lake ports and to
the New England states because of
the early closing of those territories
from rigorous weather conditions.
1t was also said by the federal Off
cial that arrangements have been
made with railroads and other in
strumentalities for the satisfactory
distribution of coal in order to avert
possible shortage in the coming
winter.
Governor Silzer today retailed the
information gathered from federal
sources because he felt that the pro-
duction and the distribution of coal
is not a state function, or one in
which. the state can accomplish any
thing. The executive made this de-
claration once before in a letter to
former United States Senator Jo-
seph S. Frelinghuysen.
The federal fuel distributor ad-
vised an immediate purchase of coal
in the following language.
considering the general situation
today, and in view of the positive
recommendation made by the sec
retary of commerce and the great
national strike, transportation and
public utility bodies, it is difficult to
see how. the consumer, with ordinary
prudence and foresight, can avoid
following the advice given-that his
winter supply of coal, whether for
domestic or industrial use, be pur-
chased and stored during the sum-
mer months"
The federal official also declared
that while constructive recommend
ations will be made to the United
States Fuel Commission, no legisla-
tive, action can be taken until after
Congress meets in December.
Governor Silzer declared that he
had received no information as to
the price of coal, or what its price
is likely to be in the future.
Mr.. Silzer, however, said he had
received reports from other reliable
sources which conflicted with the
pronouncements of the federal fuel
distributor. This information was to
the effect that at present the retail
coal dealers, as a rule, have more
orders from consumers than can be
filled in month.
The information obtained by the
governor from p-ivate sources dis
agrees with the federal fuel distribu-
tor regarding the purchase of coal at
the present time. According to this
view, any statement by Governor
Silzer, or any other public official
urging the public to buy coal now
would be detrimental rather than
beneficial.
Far from taking the federal Of
ficiars optimistic view of the fuel sit
uation, the Governors informant has
it that the matter was not at all i'm
proved in any way by what Mr..
Silzer called a sensational story sent
out recently from the federal fuel
distributor at Washington. It is
claimed that this story actually caus-
ed an advance in tn mine price of
so-called Independent" fuel and al
so fright d the consumer and
made him determined to get his full
winters supply at once.

Wife Is Worth $50,
Says i'm Court Suit
Matrimonial Agent Sues Cli-
ent Who Wed Girl, But Did
Not Pay for Services
Is a wife worth $50?

Evidently Alexander Macy of this
city, thinks not, for he has refused
to pay this amount as commission to
Joseph Boross who conducts a matri-
monial bureau in the Raritan build
ing this city, for finding him wife.
Leo Lowenkopf, attorney for Bo-
ross, declares this his client is an ex-
pert at picking wives and that the
one he picked for Macy is worth all
and more of the amount Boross
charged for commission. So sure is
Boross of this fact that he has had
Mr.. Lowenkopf institute suit in the
district court here, in order to obtain
the commission.
1t was on December 10, 1922, ac-
cording to the papers in the case,
that Macy decided that he needed a
wife and so requested that the plain
tiff list his name at his atrimonial
bureau and make an effort to intro
duce him to a young lady, the object
of such introduction being matri-
mony.
Macy agreed that If Boross in
troduced him to a young lady whom
he should subsequently marry, he
would pay the sum of $3.50 and
gave Boross a note for this amount.
1llC PidliltlAi liiIi OuoNOu biAO oCASaiN
ant and it Is alleged through zeal
Gus effort on the part of the plain
tiff the young lady and Macy became
united in wedlock, during the latter
part of May, or the early part of
June.
Following the marriage Boross de-
manded the payment of the commits
sion and as it has not been forth
coming and Macy still refuses to pay
same, Boross asks judgment in the
amount of $3.50 and costs of the
suit.
Mr.. Lowenkopf, attorney for Bor-
oss said that the reason Macy re-
fuses to pay the claim is because he
alleges that he met the young wo-
man who has become his bride on
the boat when he came to this coun-
try and that she was meant for him
anyway and she was not unknown
to him when they were brought to-
gether through the efforts of the
matrimonial agent.
Louis Y. Sosin attorney for Macy,
declared today that in proof of the
fact that the wife Boross selected for
Macy was not worth the money is
that they have separated.
According to Mr.. Sosin today, the
case will come up for trial before
Judge c. c. Hommann on July 6.

Escaped Convict Wounded ID
Times by Michigan Posse,
Dies in Hospital

MARQUETTE, Mich. June 25:-
Capture of George Natchoss, escap-
ed convict from Marquette prison
yesterday, ended one of the most des-
perate fights ever made by a man

gan branch prison. Natchoss was
shot fourteen times by a posse which
had been hunting him since last
Wednesday. He died a few minutes
after reaching a hospital.

ed in a swamp near Perkins, be-
tween Maple Ridge and Eseanaba.
The members of the posse raked the
underbrush with volley after volley
of shots. Natchoss replied at first
with fire from his own weapon but
later firing from the brush ceased.
Officers feared a trap but crept
carefully upon their quarry. He was
found lying on the ground with his
revolver beside him. officers said
he apparently had fought until he
dropped.
Natchoss was sentenced from Pom
tiac for life Imprisonment on a
charge of murder. He escaped a
week ago Friday with George
Bloochas. First trace Of them was
found Wednesday when a store at
Maple Ridge was robbed. Bloochas
was captured the day after the store
