. VAN NESS ACT
w
_
Supreme Court Hears Argu
ment on Constitutionality
of the Dry Act
TRENTON. Nov. 4.—Part two of
the supreme court, consisting of
Justices Trenchard. Bergen and Mln
turn, today ars hearing argument
here on the question of the constls
tutionality of the much-discussed
Van Ness Prohibition Enforcement
Act, passed by the last legislature.
Over two hundred suits are pendlhg
In the supreme court over this act<
involving alleged violations of the
eighteenth amendment In New Jer
sey. to enforce which the Van Ness
law was passed. #
Two test cases only will be argued
today, and the result In these in
stances will decide all the others
In additional to the question wheth
er the act Is out of harmony with
the state’s fundamental law, the su
preme court wllWiear the lawyers
on the question of the writs of cer
tiorari which were granted In cer
tain counties, notably In Camden,
to review the arrests for alleged
violations before the casos went to
trial in the local courts.
A decision on either the validity
of the act under attack or the regu
larity of the review proceedings Is
not looked for here today. As In all
similar cases, it Is anticipated. that
the three justices will reserve their
views for announcement after full
deliberation of the points presented
today.
The van Ness act s two provisions
which are expected to bo ot prime
importance in the argument this af
ternoon Will be whether the failure
to Include a trial by Jury of alleged
"wet” offenders Is unconstitutional
and also whether the provision al
lowing "dry” agents to search and
seize a man’s property if the agents
have information that contraband
liquor is concealed therein Is prop
erly phrased so that It does not in
terfere with the time worn under
standing that a man’s home is his
castle and cannot be entered unless
under circumstances which are of
long established standing.
There has been considerable dis
pute on these two phases of the en
forcement law which the Anti-Sa
loon League put through the last
legislature, and they will have a
thorough airing today before the su
premo court. Robert H. McCarter,
of Kst.PT, and Warren Dixon, of Hud,
■ m. will make the pleas for those
who are attacking the law, and the
. --si-stant prosecutors respectively of
Hudson and Kssex will defend It.

of shots early today foiled the at
tempt of robbers to carry off a large
quantity of meats which they had
stolen from the butcher shop of H.
I. Eigard, corner of Main and Little,
streets. The meat, consisting of four
hogs, three lambs and a quarter Of

eral hours after the robbers had fled.
Mr. Eigard declares that there is
still one half of lamb missing.

ly near the Eigard shop. Two of

him started for the men. At the
approach of the officers the men be
gan shooting and the officers also
brought their guns Into play. Sev
eral shots were fired before the men

ing of a card party In the near fu

sist this cause as shown by all the

FORMAN A MAN
' YOU MAY TRUST
WITH CONFIDENCE
(Continued from page 1)
party for Surrogate, was born In
New Brunswick and is a life-long
resident of that city. He served on
the Board of Aldermen for two terms
a total of four years, representing
tire First Ward—establishing a rec
ord that was satisfactory in every
way. He is now offered in the be
lief that he will prove thoroughly
reliable and competent in a larger
sphere of service.
The chief and. in fact, the only
campaign argument of the Demo
crats for the re-election of Surrogate
Clayton is that he has been efficient
—a claim that his opponents do not
deny. But Mr. Clays on has filled the
position of Surrogate for ten year*
and before that occupied the post of
a deputy in the Surrogate's office for
nine years—quite a handsome re
ward for such efficiency as he has
displayed.
The three Surrogates who pre
ceded Mr. Clayton—Messrs. Howell.
Furman and Daly—each served ten
years in the office and each was ad
efficient servitor, indicating that not
all wisdom reposeth in the present
official and demonstrating that the
people of Middlesex County think
ten years about long enough for one
man to hold the office.
An efficiency and a courtesy that
is not surpassed by that of Mr. Clay
ton or any other official has been
displayed by Mr. Forman In every
occupation of life. For over a score
of years he occupied a position of
trust with the wallpaper manufac
tory of Janeway & Carpender at
>^ew Brunswick and fir the past
four years has been bookkeeper for
the Raritan Sand Company in Rari
tan Township. He is a man of un
blemished character, trustworthy
and capable.
The people of Middlesex County
have presented to them in this can
didate a man of moral and political
integrity, a man whose record for
citizen service Is clean, as wrell as dis
tinguished. His name Is honorable
and honored. He is one you may
trust with confidence.

publican Committee.)
WILLIAM MORGAN AN
IDEAL CANDIDATE
FOR CORONER PLACE
(Continued from page 1)
marked his whole career. He has
been secretary of the South River
Building and Loan Association for
a number of year* and active in
every movement for the advancement
of his home town.
About ten years ago Mr. Morgan
was elected to the office of Coroner
of Middlesex county and during the
three years he i^Td the position he
discharged every duty with fidelity
and painstaking care. His life long
training is certainly a notable qual
ficatlon for the office for which he
has been nominated.
On the grounds of fitness and
good citixenship Mr Morgan i» par
ticularly well qualified and should
be elected.

Democratic Committee.)

for the winter sports and gatherings.
The bovs of the organization are be

witness a return match between the
high school boys and the Cathedral
eleven of that place.
The practice of climbing on the
rear ends of large automobile trucks
while running through the city is be
ing indulged in by young school boys
every day. The quick wit of a driver
of a touring oar probably saved tht*
life of a youngster who lost his hold
on the tail-board of a truck on Stev

ly In the path of the approaching
automobile,
A nation-wide drive Is now In
progress whereby every house is to
have a suitable receptacle for mails.
Many of the residents of the city
were notified by the postmaster to
the above effect. It is pointed out
that with proper letter boxes in a
convenient place on the house or a
slot in the doors will greatly facili
tate the city delivery. Heretofore It
has been necessary for the carriers
to shove the mail under the doors cf
residences where no receptacle has
been provided.
