INTEST AT PBIHT EOS CDLLECTORSHiP Much Interest In Candidacy of Reed Gager, Republican, on. Democratic Ticket. POINT. PLEASANT, Oct. 5.

Interest in local politics centers about the contest for tax collector between W. Theodore Newbury, boro clerk, and Reed F. Gager, who is the Democratic nominee. A strange feature of the campaign is that Gager, who teaches in the Bay Head school, is a regular Republican. He was defeated for the Republican nomination by Newbury, but was nominated by the Democrats by a slight margin.

It was said that Newbury would have received both nominations had not ballots cast for him been thrown out because no crosses were marked by the pasters. Supporters of Newbury claim that he will win handily over his opponent, declaring that the Democrats will not be solidly behind their nominee because of his Republican politics. Another thing that will work in Newbury's favor, it is said, Is his promise, if elected, to devote his entire time to the combined offices of boro clerk and collector His duties also will include collection of licenses and sewer taxes. Mr. Gager's friends are working hard in his behalf and expect to win him support of the independent voters.

Candidates for places in the boro council, the only other contested offices, are just getting their stride. Councilman James Fitzgibbon Is leading the Democrats. He is a candidate for reelection for a three year team. Also candidate for a three year term is E. E.

Johnson. William Buckelew is a candidate for the one year unexpired term of Joseph Elberson. Charles Dampman, nho was appointed by Mayor Thomas Graham to fill the vacancy is a candidate for a three year term. He has as his running mates Chester W. Clayton, one-time mayor, who was defeated last year for council, and Alexander Adams, who is Bucke-lew's opponent for the one-year term.

The return of Lawrence D. VanNote to actvle politics is being watched closely by Republicans. "Larry" emerged from retirement at the primaries and won his fight for selection to the Democratic executive committee. IAPIT PASTORS Addresses by Rev. Dr.

diation Effort. STATE INVESTIGATION TO OPEN TOMORROW NEW YORK, Oct. 5 Separate peace between the Borden company and the farmers today loomed up as the only ray of hope of preventing the milk crisis which threatens more and more to develop Into a serious famine. There i were indications that the Borden com- pany, which distributes one-fifth of the city's supply, may break away from the otl-r big distributors. It is the only concern willing to deal direct- ly with John J.

Dillon, state food and 1 market commissioner, who Is acting as the dairymen's league spokesman. The I latter said today that he and the den ofllclals would "get together again" but added that the league will in no' circumstances make any con- cessions. The Boreten firm conies neareut to the farmers' offer- ing an increase of 2i cents a hundred- weight. The other big dealers stand )at on their original oiler of 31 The farmers demand 43 cents. Meanwhile Mayor Muciiel is expect- ed to renew his efforts today to bring the two Bides to a settlement.

Raids and riots continue to be reported from up state counties in Xew York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Great quantities of milk intended ror this city are being dumped into road ditches every night. Today's supply vas the smallest since the termination of the contract on Kept. 30. It was less than 30 percent of the normal supply.

Mothert Near Panic. The first indications of panic or rioting due to the threatened milk famine came today. Hundreds of women seeking milk for their babies stormed milk stations in Harlem and when told the supply at hand was exhausted became hysterical and panic stricken. The police were rushed to several stations to prevent serious trouble. The first outbreak occurred at a station at 107th street.

Three hundred women called there. A supply of only 100 quarts was on hund and it was quickly exhausted. The disappointed ones began to raise a disturbance. Police were sent for when they arrived the women had moved 'on to another station on 112th street. More trouble was threatened there and another call was sent for police.

The threatened riots have caused state and city officials to vigorously renew efforts to bring about a settlement between the dairymen and distributing companies. (Continued on Page Two.) T. Frank Appleby Impressed By Jersey Need After Trip Thru Long Island. Home from an automobile trip thru lens; Island, former Mayor T. Frank Appleby is more than ever convinced that New Jersey must look to her record for good roads by adopting the provisions of the Egan bill at the November elections.

Long Island has 10 miles to New Jersey's one of Improved highway, said the former mayor today upon his returi from Glen Cove, where, with Mrs. Appleby, he visited his cousin, John S. Appleby. "Shore people will be shortsighted if they oppose the Egan bill," said Mr. Appleby.

"It is not a political measure and Republicans as well as Democrats and voters of other political faith should join in supporting it. With the improved highways in Long Island, and good roads leading from New England and New York, Long Island is attracting and will continue to attract Jiutomobllists who, road conditions being equal, would come to Jersey. "New Jersey must do something to keep her goods roads to the forefront with automobilists," he continued. In Long Beach Mr. Appleby examined with Interest an experiment in the construction of the boardwalk which the resort authorities are making.

The surface of the boardwalk has been given a top dressing of concrete, about three inches thick, laid in five foot squares and with expansion Joints. It was laid early last spring, Mr. Appleby was informed, and it appears to be holding up well. An examination disclosed no cracks in the surface, Mr. Appleby said.

The world's greatest proving ground for ordnance is to be established near May's Landing, by the Bethlehem Steel corporation, of which Charles M. Schwab is the head. A to this effect was made yesterday at. a meeting of the New Jersey state board of conservation and development in Trenton following an application mado by the corporation for permission to purchase from the state 300 acres of timber land which in the heart of the proposed reservation and which is needed to make possible the realization of the project. William E.

Massey of the realty firm of Massey Edwards of Ocean City, which conducted the negotiations for the purchase of the tract, confirmed the details of the project last night. The site of the proposed proving plant is about 20,000 acres in extent and runs for 18 miles along the Great Egg Harbor river. Both in size and in equipment the new proving plant will surpass the ramous Krupp grounds in Germany. To a large extent the new plant will be used in the testing of ordnance of various calibres built by the Bethlehem corporation for the United States government. It will also be the place where the various types of ordnance built for foreign governments will be first tested.

Negotiations for the purchse of the track have been pending for months. For the land already acquired more than 1,000 deeds have been executed. The tract needed to complete the grounds was acquired by the state several years ago for a nominal sum, and it was said yesterday the state will realize a handsome nront nn th investment. After the hearing the board voted to recommend the sale of the tract to the company. The location of the tract is ideal.

It is level and bounded on two sides by the Great Egg Harbor and Tuckahoe rivers, whilo a fines state boulevard runs along a third side and an electric railroad on the fourth. The tract extends from May's Landing to Tuckahoe and a railroad will be built between these two points. The length of the range will be 14 miles, and on a clear day trees and towers are plainly visible from one end to the other. Upward of half a million dollars have been spent In acquiring the land and another half million will have to be expended before proving can be begun. A small army of workmen will be employed, as this will be the main proving grounds for thj company's various plants.

Representatives from foreign governments which use Bethlehem Steel products, it was said, will be stationed permanently at May's Landing, which was selected as headquarters largely because of its frequent train service and nearness to Atlantic City. TO BAN PARLEY Negotiations Cannot End Before Election Carranza Seeks Loan. WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. There will be no definite results of the preset Mexican before election.

Also there will be no breaking off the parley prior to Nov. 7. Consequently neither of the political parties Is to get any advantage, Respite the fact that the Democrats have been hoping to "point with pride" to definite accomplishments, and the Republicans had desired to "view with alarm" withdrawn of Pershing's expedition. Officials admitted today that while the AMantlc City negotiations were deadlocked, due to the insistence of Carranza for the withdrawal of the American troops, a way was in sight to continue the negotiations. Ambassador Designate Anendondo shortly will be en route to Washington from Mexico City.

It Is known that Barragan will be by the Mexican commission attend the conference to discuss the border situation, and th Mexican plans for the protection American territory. Meanwhile the situation In Chihuahua continues more serious. Vili.i is reported to be preparing to attack Torreon. Mexicans Seeking Loan.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 5. A now element has been injected Into the discussions of the American and Mexican commission by the inability of the Carranza government to pay Its soldiers. This is interfering with the completion of plans f.r a joint border patrol. The Mexican commissioners are seeking a loan of from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000, hoping that the government can be run with this money until taxes can be readjusted to produce revenue, The Mexican commlssoners will go to New York Saturday, when they hope to open negotiations for a loan.

It Is reported on good authority that tho American commissioners may visit Mexico if the commissions agree upon a definite program of action. Commendation. Please read In another column article headed "Commendation," taken from The New York Tribune, about rum advertising. J. A.

5. Five of seven defendants in four, criminal trials before Judge Lawrence yesterday were convicted of the crimes charged against them, and three others pleaded guilty to Indictments. Conviction of a petty robbery proved a serious offense for one prisoner, Wyatt Freeman, colored, who was tried Jointly with John B. Walker, colored, and convicted of breaking and entering and larceny from the home of Alice Reed, colored, at Red Rank the night of Sept. 5.

Mrs. Reed said that the men took three cans of cherries, a bed sheet and some small articles of clothing. Freeman, who was under parole from state prison, will be returned to serve his maximum term under a former sentence and he was sentenced on this charge to one to seven years in state prison. Walker, a first offender, was sentenced to six months in the county Jail. Chester and Walter Smith, colored, were found guilty by a Jury of a charge of atrocious assault and battery upon James Smith Red Bank on July 4.

A knife and a beer bottle were used on their victim it was testified. Sentence will be imposed today. George Reach was convicted of stealing a wallet containing a check for $67.33 from the pocket of Joseph B. Kingston while he lay asleep in his wagon in the hotel sheds at Tinton Falls on Aug. 8.

Joseph Williams and Archie Helems were acquitted of a charge of stealing a watch from Joseph Rogers, proprlet-tor of the drum head factory near Farmingdale, on July 28, but they were not given their freedom. The men are wanderers who had visited this section to pick potatoes. The evidence showed that they 'found Charles Carman, an employe of Mr. Rogers, sitting along the road and that after accepting a drink of whisky from a bottle they attacked Carman and took his coat and vest and also a watch which he had borrowed from Rogers. As the indictment charged them with stealing the watch from Rogers, their counsel.

A. J. C. Stokes, asked that the court direct a verdict of acquittal. This the court did, at the same time remanding the prisoners back to Jail and directing the prosecutor to prefer a new charge against them.

They are also indicted for stealing Carman's coat and vest. Roy Applegate of Engllshtown waived indictment and pleaded guilty of stealing a Mr. Goldstein's automobile at Long Branch some weeks ago, and he was fined the costs of prosecution and paroled In custody of Probation Officer Houghton for two years. Edward Thomas pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with obtaining money under false pretenses on July 15 by giving Emory J. Reynolds of Neptune township a check for $30 when he had no funds in the bank.

Thomas was sentenced to three months in jail. At the expiration of this term he will be transferred to Essex county, where he is under indictment for a similar offense. Harold White, sentenced May 3 to five months in the county Jail for wire thefts near Asbury Park, was paroled for two years with the understanding that he will leave the state.

5. That the allies plan a great effort to cut thru Bulgaria, thus linking up the Russo-Roumanlan forces with the allies' army in Mace donia is indicated in dispatches re ceived here today. Advices from Pe- trograd state that Grand Duke Nicho las is being sect to Dobrudja to com mand Roumanian and Russian armies operating there. These armies have cheeked the ad vance of the German allies under Field Marshal vonMackensen and compelled them to retreat, regaining ground that had been overrun in the first flush of the invasion of Roumanian soil. German Lines Menaced.

With his lines of communication menaced by the Roumanian army that invaded Bulgaria by way of the Danube, vonMackensen struck back with a powerful bldw, compelling the Roumanians to retire temporarily. Severe fighting is in progress all along the line in Dobrudja. This is expected to become even more violent when Grand Duke Nicholas arrives there. The grand duke is now reported to be on his way to Odessa. From there he will go to Kiev for a council of war before proceeding to Dobrudja.

The grand duke was in command of the eastern front when vonMackensen launched his big drive in 1915 and his masterly tactics prevented the Germans from cutting off and capturing big sections of the Russian armies in Poland and Galicia. Roumaniana Defeat. LONDON, Oct. 5. The Roumanian army that crossed the Danube and invaded Bulgaria has been defeated in battle, but the Roumanians escaped.

An official statement, issued by the Bulgarian war office in Sofia today, estimated the strength of the Roumanian army of invasion at 15 or 16 batallions. The German war office stated in an official report that the Roumanians were able to escape "by a hasty flight before the encircling attacks by the Bulgarians and Germans." A Rome wireless service gave out a dispatch saying: "It is denied in Bucharest that Austrian monitors destroyed the bridge across the Danube by which the Roumanians crossed into Bulgaria." Drive Enemy Back Over Danube. 'SOFIA, Oct. 5. Details of the defeat of-the Roumanian army that invaded Bulgaria are contained in the following report Issued by the Bulgarian war office: "On the Danube front 15 or 16 batallions without any artillery, which crossed the Danube near Ra-hovo, advanced and occupied six villages.

ASKS U.S. EES FOR STATE TROOPS TRENTON, Ot. 6. Taking advantage of the fact that with the withdrawal of troops from the border the federal government will probably have on hand a number of horses for which it has no immediate use, the adjutant general's office has applied to the war department to have horses issued to mounted organizations of the National Guard of New Jersey in accordance with the provisions of the national defense act. The horses for which application has been made are among those purchased by the state for the government during the period of mobilization.

Under the national defense act, each battery of field artillery and each troop of cavalry is entitled to not more than 32 horses, which may be supplied by the government. An allowance of four horses ia also made for each battalion and squadron headquarters. The request of the adjutant general Is that horses to the number authorized shall bo issued to squadron headquarters, and Troops A and of Newark and Troop of Red Bank, in the cavalry, and to battalion headquarters, Batteries A and of East Orange and Battery of Camden, in the field artillery. All these organizations are provided with the necessary stabling facilities, a prerequisite under the national defense act. Troop of Plainfleld is without the necessary stables, and therefore has not been included in the request to the war department.

Thus far the adjutant general's office has received no reply from the war department as to the disposition which will be made of its horses. allenvvoodTexams.

Again the advice of guardsmen of the Deal coast guard station, John Cauman of 1204 Foui tn avenue and Lester White of Third and Central avenues launched a power boat after a half hour struggle with a high surf and for three quarters of an hour dropped their lines. Then they decided to como in but the uoai was powerless, in their hands at least, against the surf. The big surf boat from the Deal station was luunched and Abner White and Robert Conover went along with the crew to assist in the rescue. When they had reached the helpless fishermen, the coast guard was for abandoning the power boat but Abner White and Conover determined to board her and bring l.er in. The transfer was made and after considerable difficulty and several narrow escapes from capsizing, the boat was beached.
