How Sosin Stands

CARTERET, Aug. Is - Maxwell
Sosin, attorney, who recently an
nounced his candidacy for the nom
nation and election as member of
the general assembly, issued this
morning his stand on the light wine
and beer question. He declares him
self in favor of a just enforcement
of the law but would take lawful
steps to restore the right for one to
indulge in light wine and beer.
"All laws should be upheld and
adhered to, but any law that takes
away certain rights and privileges
from us and tells us what we may
eat or drink is a detriment to the
people and should be repealed"
Mr.. Sosin says. He also believed
that more deaths and accidents are
due to prohibition.

PRISONER now !.
IN JAIL CEL[
GeraIdson Removed from
HospitaI-WaS Wounded in
Alleged Robbery

John GeraIdson, tw~enty-four years
old, of Woodbridge. formerly of Tot
tenville and this city, one of the two
men shot last Thursday night while
attempting to burglarize the office
of the Barber Asphalt Oil plant in
Maurer, was taken from the hospi-
tai yesterday afternoon and placed
in the local Jail.
He was booked On a charge of at
tempted burglary and assault. and
when arraigned before Recorder
Harold E. Pickersgill this morning,
was held in $4,000 ball to await the
action of the grand jury. Lieuten-
ant Detective Joseph Gutowski and
Police Chauffeur William Clooney
took the prisoner to the county jail
this morning and after Judge kirk
patrick has fixed bail on the bu<
larry charge, it is probable his 70
'tives will prepare to furnish the
necessary bonds.
Geraldson, an old offender on
Staten Island and in this city, limped
in wooden leg fashion, as a result of
being shot in the left leg. The bul-
let went through the leg without
breaking any bones. When Gerald-
son was informed he was under ar
rest, he made a swipe at Detective
Murray and started away. A shot
found its mark in his leg and he
gave up without pulling a revolver
from his pocket, the weapon having
been found in his pocket upon his
arrival at the hospital.
Thayler Is Held
Irving Thayler, of Glens Falls, N.
Y, the man arrested by Officer Carl
Monroe on Amboy avenue, a short
time after the shooting in Maurer,
is held in the county jail in default
of bail. He has confessed his part
In the attempted robbery and told
the police how he made his getaway
when the shots began to fly.
William Carlson, of Port Reading,
the third man in the case, is in the
local hospital suffering from gun
wounds in a leg and arm. One shot
entered the mans leg and shattered
"a bone in the vicinity of his knee.
Attending physicians are working to
save the leg.
The three planned to rob a fifty
pound safe from the Barber office,
having been foiled twice on We'd
nesday night by the presence of
three men in the office and by the
presence of suspicious characters in
adjoining bushes, it is charged. De-
tectives Murray and Muska, and
officers Layden, Grega and Patten
were in the vicinity of the plant
office at the time of the attempted
burglary, and assisted in the arrest
of Carlson and Geraldson.

STREET PAVING WORK is
STARTED HERE TODAY

Work was started today under
the direction of Alderman Thomas
Patten, chairman of the street COM
mittee on the. paving of State and
Washington streets. Although both
of these streets were paved in the
past, of late they had been worn
to such extent that it became adj
visible to resurface them. Although
the contractor is at work today, 1t
is likely that the actual resurfac-
ing of the streets will not begin UNI
til the first of the week.. The work
being done at the present time con-
sists in repairing the foundation of
The streets at various places where
the present top surface has been
broken away and the foundation
ruined. BY repairing the founda-
ton the new surface, which is to be
as asphalt preparation, will last
much longer than if it was spread
on the streets as they now stand.

Optimism Prevails With Re- gard To Maintenance Of
 High Consumption Rate

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-(By Asso- ciated Press .)-With the holidays ap- preaching, interest in financial and business quarters is turning increas- ingly toward the prospects for busi- ness in the New Year.
 seasonal slackening of produc- tlon, which will be accentuated as the month closes, by shutdowns for inventories and repairs Is noticeable, but optimism prevails with regard to the maintenance of a high rate of consumption and to an early increase in buying. The holiday trade is re- ported satisfactory.
 steel shipments Heavy.
 Buying of steel products for first quarter delivery has come largely from automobile manufacturers. ahead of orders. Building activities holding up remarkably well and the trades entertained hopes of re- newed buying movement in railroad equipment.
 The unexpected reduction of the Chicago and Northwestern dividend brought a more sober view of the outlook for the carriers. This was accentuated by the difficulty expe- rienced in selecting chairman for the Senate committee on interstate commerce.
 Car loadings for the week ended December 1 showed sharp falling off, due to the thanksgiving hoil- day.
 Great confusion prevailed in the cotton market
 The ginning report of the previous Saturday demonstrated that earlier private crop estimates has been much too low; the magnitude of the mis- calculation was revealed Wednesday when the final government crop o re- port placed the yield at 1O,olS,OOo bales. On Friday the census bureau consumption report showed that American mills used 532,oOO bales during November. which represented a higher daily rate than that for october.
 Priee Covers Wide Range.
 The price for the commodity mean while fluctuated rapidly over >wide range. The May feature dropped to B cents. which is Az cents below the recent high, and closed the week at 33.SO cents Southern selling and profit taking were heavy on rallies, while trade buying appeared on re- actions.
 Prices for foreign exchange held comparatively steady, uncertainty over the domestic political situation in Great Britain being offset by several signs of progress in the reparations negotiations.

All Grains Decline In Price Last Week

CHICAGO, Der. 16.-1deal weather for conditioning the new corn crop has done much this week to pull down the priqe of all grain and of provisions as well. Compared with a week ago, corn this morning was 1soct to 1lkc lower, wheat at IS q Ac to 1ksc off, oats $ c s.c to l h c down, and provisions showing zc 10 22e decline.
 Relative firmnes of wheat as com pared with corn was due. largely to assumption on. the part of many traders that plans would be evolved to finance exports of foodstuffs to Germany In this connection, the an nouncement that the United States would share unofficially in barley for settlement of German repara- tions was especially effective. eManwhile, deliveries of wheat here on December contracts were much smaller than had generally been ex- pected
 Some falling off in shipping de- mand foE- provisions was noted, but receipts of hogs here were lcssened toward the end of the week.
