New Orleans Prices Also Soar.
NEW ORLEANS. November 81
New high prices for the season were
reached by cotton today. mainly as
the result of the abandonment OF
short-time by English spinners and
accounts of an enormous trade in
finished goods in the Manche e r
market One private cablegram
claimed that British cloth merchants
were unable to meet the demand for
cloths and were actually buying for
re-export purposes from italian mills

John Brisko, Charged With
Assault on Metuchen Girl
Gets Heavy Sentence
GRANT NO LENIENCEY
Two South River Men Get
Full Term at the Railway
Reformatory
GRANT NO LENIENcEY

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 49,
One man was sentenced to from Is
to 80 years in states prison and two
others were given the full term in
the Railway reformatory by Judge
Peter f. DAILY this morning when
they were arraigned before him on
charges of criminally attacking girls.
John Bresko, of Metuchen. who
was convicted this week of ASSAULT
ing a nine year old girl, was given
the long sentence in states prison.
His attorney, County Solicitor Fred
erick +. Richardson, made a plea for
leniency. declaring he bore a good
reputation in Metuchen, was indus
trious and that this is the first time
he was implicated in trouble of this
sort. Bresko's home-life in late
years has not been of the best. Mr..
Richardson declared, his wife hav-
ing died and a son, now in the State
Home for Boys at Jamesburg, having
caused him considerable trouble.
The plea for leniency failed to i'm
press the judge who sentenced the
Metuchen man to spend from IS to
so years in states prison.
James Curley. twenty-four years
old. and Stanley Neisonoff. ninete en-
fenced to serve full terms In the re-
formatory after Judge DAILY had re-
ferred to the crime of which they
were found guilty as the most
shocking he ever had before him
1T staggers ones belief to think
that these men are human beings
when they can perpetrate such a
crirle." Judge DAILY said in COM
menting upon the attack made ny
the two men on a seventeen year
Iold girl. Judge DAILY declared It
was his belief that neither man was
in his normal mind when the
crimes were committed, the condi-
ton of their minds probably hav-
ing been brought about by vile
liquor The judge says one would
almost be justified in believing the
men had secured this liquor at the
home of the girl.
George Burton represented Nei-
sonon and John A. Coan was Cur
ley's attorney. Both told of the
defendants and of the good family
from which the defendants come.
Albert Murphy, sixteen, and Wal
ter Craig, seventeen, the latter col
ored and both of Monroe township,
who pleaded guilty in the county
court last week to serious charge,
were sentenced to the reformatory at
Railway for a full term by Judge
Daily.

ing. Following the plea of guilty
made by the defendant in this case,
the negroes were sent to the work
house and the woman to the Clin-
ton reformatory but she was return

Judge DAILY re-sentenced her to nine
months in the workhouse.

ACTION TAKEN HERE
TO FINANCE CITY'S
WORK AS DEMANDED
Aldermen Confer With City
Plan Commission - Ad-
iourned Meeting Tonight

A bill, by the enacting of which
into law, will give the city means
by which to supply funds to do its
part of the railroad grade crossing
elimination through this city, will be
introduced in the state legislature
next week, according to information
received today from Alderman at
large, Richard j. Calvin, folio wing
a. conference between the aldermen,
city plan commission and city cffi-
GERS last night. The bill will be
drawn by City Attorney David r..
Wilentz with the cooperation of
City Engineer Louis p. Booz, Jr.,
who will supply the necessary data
and the estimate of the cost of the
contemplated work.
Although the railroad elimination
was the principal topic up for dis
cussion at the conference other city
improvements were discussed and
the city plan commission pledged it.
self to give it's aid in every respect
to efforts made by the Board of
Aldermen to bring about improve
ments to the city.
1t was the general opinion OF those
at the conference that some action
must be taken Immediately to move
the sewers from under the railroad
tracks so that the work of elimina-
ton could be started with the least
possible delay and after some dis
cussion it was thought the proper
method would be to have bill
drawn and submitted to the legisla-
ture. Not only will the proposed bill
create a means by which the city
will be able to- obtain funds for the
sewer work but also for the building
of approaches to the various bridges
which are to be constructed by the
railroad.
Not only will the bill provide for
the raising of funds to build new
trunk line sewer west of the rail-
road, but also for the construction
of a septic tank and the construction
of a new trunk line sewer in the
southern section of the city in order
to do away with the emptylng OF
sewerage in the river.
The question of opening up Gar
retson avenue or some other street
in the northern section of the c!ty'
thus connecting up another section
with State street, was discussed at
length. The opening up of a. street
in that section will cost considera Die

The aldermen at their ADJOURNED
meeting tonight will take up rail-
road matters.
