'ASBURY PARK EVENING PRESS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1930 some political unrest. These sconomic ASKS RESTORATION OF WEST END TRAINS KILLED CROSSING JPIOO HAL I OBITUARY i REINSTATE OFFICER LINKED IN RUM RING DOCTOR AND THEN FAlFjpPED mm" SWEPT BY BLAZE LIVI (Continued From Page One) He also cited the bearing of the reg ulatory functions of the federal and state governments on the subject of business stability, mentioning their ef feet on the financial strength of rail roads and "during a period of depression," he said, "the soundest and most available method of relief to unemployment Is expansion of public works and construction in the utilities, railways and heavy industries. The volume of possible expansion of construction In these private Industries Is about four or five times that in public works. "During the present depression these Industries have done their full part, but especially the railways have been hand icapped by some provisions of the trans portation act of 1920. With wider pub-He vision the railways- could bF strengthened into a greater balance wheel of stability.

We have need to consider all of our economic legislation, whether banking, utilities or agrlcuU ture, or anything else, from" the point of view of its effect upon business stability. "I have never believed that our form of government could satisfactorily solve economic problems by direct action- could successfully conduct business Institutions. The government can and must cure abuses." The president praised what the bankers have done toward ameliorating the business situation, and continued: "At this Juncture the responsibility of those In control of money Is great. Without faith on your part and without your good offices, the early return tor full prosperity cannot be accomplished. "We know that one of the prerequisites of ending a depression Is an ample supply of credit at low rates of Interest.

This supply and these rates re now available thru the cooperation of the banks and the Federal Reserve sys tem. "The income of a large part of our people is not reduced by the depression but it is affected by unnecessary fears and pessimism, the result of which is to slacken the, consumption of goods and discourage enterprise. Here the atmosphere of your offices will affect the mental attitude and, if you please, courage, of the Individuals who will depend upon you for both counsel and money." Mr. Hoover praised the Federal Re serve system as furnishing "an admir able center for cooperation of the bank tig business wltlr the production andJ distribution of industries and (he gov- eminent In the development of broad and detached policies of business stability." He called upon the bankers to consider "what further effective measures can be taken either in the business world or in cooperation with the government of such policies, both for the present depression and for the future." "I know of no greater public service," he said. "It is a service to every business man, to every farmer, to every worker, whether at the desk or bench.

I am not assuming you can do It all, or that all disturbance, domestic or foreign, can be wholly prevented or cured. "The government should cooperate. It plays a large part in the credit structure of the country. Its fiscal system has most Important ibearlngs. For in stance, I believe an Inquiry might de velop that our system of taxes upon capital gains directly encourage inflation by strangling the free movement of land and securities." "This business depression is world wide," the president said.

"Its causes and effects lie only partly In the United States. Our country engaged In over- speculation in securities which orashed year ago with great losses. "A perhaps even larger immediate cause of our depression has been the effect upon us from the collapse in prices following over-production of im portant raw materials, 'mostly In foreign countries. "These major over-expansions have taken place largely outside of the United States. Their collapse ha re duced the buying power of many coun tries.

The prosperity of Brasil and Colombia has been temporarily affected from the situation In coffee; Chile, Peru, Mexico and Australia from the fall in silver, zinc and copper. "The buying power of India and China, dependent upon the price of silver, has been affected, Australia, Canada and the Argentine havj been affected, by the situation In wheat; Cuba and Java have been depressed by the condition of the sugar industry; East India generally has suffered from ths fall in rubber.

"We can make a very large degree of recovery Independently of what may happen elsewhere. "We shall need mainly to depend upon our own strong arm for recovery, as other nations are in greater diffi culty than we.

(IP) Trial of former' County Judge W. Bernard Vause of Brooklyn on charges ot mak ing a false income tax return for 1926 was suddenly halted In federal court today and declared a mistrial when Harold L. Turk, Vause's counsel, told the court that juror five, John Conerty of Brooklyn, had been a member of the federal grand jury which indicted Vause. Turk asked to confer with Judge Beyers and the two retired to an ante room with United States Attorney Ameil and his assistant. When they returned Turk moved for the mistrial An anonymous telephone call came to him last night, he said from a man who Identified himself as a member of the grand jury which indicted Vause.

This man said he had recognized Juror five two days ago when he visited the courtroom where Vause Is on trial. He said nothing then but checked the juror's name, with a grand jury list. When he was certain of his idenUflca Uon he telephoned Mr. Turk. Jersey Expert Advises Setting Them Out In Fall For Spring Blooming.

Pansles and primroses should be planted now to secure best results for next summer, according to A. C. Mc Lean of the New Jersey agricultural ex perlment station. Gardeners who want large pansles next spring should set plants in a rich bed of soil before Nov. 1.

Pansles planted in the fall and left undisturbed in the spring produce more and better flowers than plants which have been moved. Do not wait until spring to buy plants if the best pansles are desired. The pansy is very easily transplanted at, this time -f the year, and is practically win ter hardly if given a slight protection to keep the ground from freezing and thawing. The chief precaution should be to plant them in a soli that is well drained. Then, when the ground starts to freeze, cover first with some straw and then with leaves, Some of the best large-flowering strains are Steele's, Rog gll Giants, or some of the better for elgn families.

Hardy primroses, or primulas, are among the most satisfactory oi mo early, spring-blooming plants. The common varieties are hardy in this ell mate, and, when planted in a partially shaded place, they live for years. The hardly prlmoses grow best In cool weather, and October Is one of the best months for planting them. If plants or divisions are set out now, they will bloom well next spring. They also may be grown from seed, but a year's growth is required before satisfactory blooming Is obtained.

When hardy primroses are transplanted in the spring they do not develop as well as those planted In the fall and allowed to be come more firmly established. They are not very particular in their soil requirements and will grow In any good gar den soil that Is partially shaded. The American primroses and polyan thus, or bunch primroses, are probably the most satisfactory for New Jersey conditions. Good results may also be obtained with cashmlrlana and pul-verulenta, as well as japonlca, all of which come from Europe. They need very little winter protection; simply enough cover to keep the ground from freezing and thawing, and protection from the sun's rays when the foliage is In an exposed position.

Walking past the rear end of a stationary freight train at the Bowne avenue grade crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad, Tony Sebra, 64, was struck by a west bound passenger train and killed Instantly.

Sebra, whose regular remittances were the chief support of a wife and children in Poland, was unable to see down the tracks because of the freight car which had just been stopped at the crossing.

He failed to hear the train's whistle and the warning shout of William Emmons, crossing flagman, as he stepped past it. His badly man gled body, from which the head was almost severed, was tossed 35 feet thru the air. Alfred Peterson, of Long Branch, was conductor on the train and Frank Weber, of Trenton, was engineer. Neither was held, and, because of the nature of the case, It was considered doubtful that any arrest would be made. The body was removed to the Fried man -lorgue at the order of County Physician H.

W. Hartman. Tutt Declares He Will Wage "Silent, Persistent" Campaign In Jersey. NEWARK, Oct. 3 (ff).

Louis A. Tutt, appointed deputy prohibition admin istrator in New Jersey to suceed Alexander MacPhee, who resigned, cameto Newarkneadquarters today to discuss the situation with MacPhee. Tutt said he had no fixed ideas of the best plan for getting results, but that he did not believe in "spectacular, publlci ty-seeklng methods, but In a silent, per rlstent and relentless attack." "It will be my ambition eo to conduct my office," Tutt said, "as to merit the support and goodwill of the law abiding citizens of New Jersey. The policy of the bureau of prohibition Is that we shall concentrate on commercial viola tions in an earnest, honest and lawful manner. I shall follow that policy." The new deputy administrator Join ed the prohibition forces In 1924, serv' Ing first in Washington and later in Baltimore.

He is a former member of the navy medical corps and as a graduate pharmacist, is familiar with liquor testing cases. 10 (Continued From Page One) work on the case after learning of it at Eatontown. By means of the teletype, Carr's description of the car he had seen was being printed in every state police station in the state within few minutes after Carr had told his story. No trace of car or driver had as yet been found late this morning. Beside the Philadelphia address, Hamilton told authorities almost nothing before he died, partly because of the shock and pain, detectives believe.

It was hinted, however, that there was also apparent a reluctance to talk about the accident. That factor was taken to indicate the theory of a "ride" might be plausible. Authorities are also seeking to learn why Hamilton should have been on foot on the road from the place where he worked to Freehold, at 7.30 when the accident is believed to have occur red. He must have finished work several hours before that, it is argued. The body will be prepared for burial by Undertaker William E.

Contractors who viewed the ruins said the entire structure with the exception of the structural steel and the cuter stone work would have to be rebuilt.

The building cost more than 000,000 but contractors as well as Fire Chief Tawney declined to estimate the damage, except to say that It would be great.

10 SERVE HE EASE Discovery of Pocket Made at Tioga, 225 Miles From New York. NEWARK, Oct. 3. (IP) The Newark Evening News today resorted it learn ed of the discovery in Tioga, 01 natural gas, and the sinking ot a well there which has a daily estimated out' put of 20,000,000 cubic feet. Tioga, a small town across the New York state line and about 223 miles from New York city is within a com-paritively short distance of Olean, N.

where the first discovery of natural gas was made in the United States nearly a century ago. The News said that altho the strike was made two weeks ago, secrecy was maintained because of the possibility of a wild rush to buy or lease land. The Allegheny Gas company, the News said, owns the well. The Al legheny Is a production subsidiary of the North Penn Gas company, and the North Penn is a distributing sub' sidlary of the Pennsylvania Gas and Electric company, the paper added. The News quoted the following from prospectus of the company; "It is t'enost certain that within a reasonably short time a comprehensive plan for Transportation of Natural Gas from the Appalachian fields to the more important cities of the Atlantic seaboard, as for example, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, northern New Jersey and possibly New York, will be undertaken." The capacity of the well, the News said, was not known as the only way of estimating the capacity of a natural gas well, quoted engineers" as stating was to make a number of boring to determine the extent of the pocket and then by an analysis of the porosity of the sand in which it is located.

Democratic Senatorial Candi date Addresses Essex Co. Group at Newark. NEWARK, Oct. 3. (IP) Alexander Simpson, Democratic nominee for the United States senate, blames the Re publican party for "hard times, misery, starvation and bread lines." Addressing the Essex county Demo cratic committee at Krueger's audito rium last night, the opponent of Dwight W.

Morrow, Republican nominee, said the Republicans in 1928 boasted that there was prosperity because they were In power and he said they should now take the blame because of the "serious economic condition the country noW faces." Simpson said, "there is an undercur rent of revolt over hard times. People do not stand In bread lines, housewives do not mourn the hunger of their children, business men are not ruined and farmers not impoverished without there being an undercurrent of protest against the people in power, that is the Hoover people, who now are in control of the country." In reference to prohibition, Simpson said "the Republicans have resorted to turnabout, to cover up the sordid mess, figuring this would attract at- -tentlon away from the ruin that has been visited upon our homes.
