The State of New Jersey occupies the role of foster-parent to 27.279 children.

The number is revealed in a report of the State Pension Survey Commission prepared for presentation to the Legislature, The total of dependent children' for-1021 shows that the number has Increased three and one-half times in 10 years. In 1921, the report shows, there was an average of 24 children receiving public care for every 10,000 of population. Last year this number had Increased to for every 10,000 population. In the list by counties, South Jersey is shown to have the lowest and also the highest counties from the standpoint of child dependents. Fewest in Gloucester County Gloucester county has fewer children being cared for by the state than any of the 21 counties, with only 14 to every 10,000.

Cape May county ranks high in the list with 72 tot every 10,000 population, being equaled In this respect by Sussex, which has the same ratio. Camden county's percentage Is lower than.the average tor the state, wun 08 per lo.ouu. Care of dependent children is administered by the State Board of Children's Guardians. Some of the-children are boarded with their mothers under what is known as the widow's pension plan, while others are cared for in foster homes and institutions, Actually there is no widow's pension in New Jersey, for while grants are made to- the mothers, they are only for the care of the children. The maximum for the first child is $16 a month, with tyi tor the second and $13 for the others.

2s Two alleged memoers of Camden's "ShooeyBon- ner Gang" last night "beat the rap" at least one rap. A criminal court Jury here returned a verdict of not guilty to a charge of safe-cracking ana inert of ill. The accused, Edward Metelski. 23, of 140 Haddon avenue, and William Fernler, 22. of 319 "Mfchanlo street.

Camden, were on trial before a trowded courtroom and a Jury of lx men and six women. The verdict followed a four-and-one-half-hour Jury wrangle. The charge covered four counts of an Indictment In connection with the robbery of the Joseph II. Haines Sons office, Med ford, last Dec 4. Both face four other Indictments on similar charges.

Involving three safe-cracking Jobs' at Medford and one at Brldgeboro. In addition, Metel-skt Is charged with attempted escape from the Burlington county- Jail here. The state's case was based upon a receipt for purchases made by Metelski and Pernler at the Haines establishment on the day of the robbery. A bag Into which money had been placed before being locked Into a safe, was found several hundred feet from the office the next day. It contained the receipt given the two men, according to testimony.

Pender's Wife Testifleg Mrs. Mary Pernler. wife of one of the defendants, was a witness for her husband and his pal. She ad-muted on the stand that she was fcnown in Camden as Lancaster" and "National Park Mary." She tald she married Pernler several fears ago in Elkton, "Md. A motion by defense counsel.

cott Cberchesky, of ColllngswoOd, that the charge be dismissed was verruled by Judge Charles A. Rigg. The attorney attacked the state's ase as circumstantial. The court decided that linking of the receipt givem the two men with the. bag from which the money was stolen, formed grounds for continuing the case.

The state introduced a' number of witnesses tending to show the two men toad visited the Haines place on Dec-. 4. That night the combination of the safe was chopped off and the money removed. Those who testified against the men were Edward Worrell. Everett Haines, Seth Wells.

William Me-Awee, Harry Wickward, teRoy Lamb, of Medford; Charles Klrby, and James Wiggins, of Lake Cotox-en; Miss Gladys Oatman, Lumber-ton; County Detective Chief Ellis H. Parker and County Detective Clinton Zeller. Party at Bonner's The defense entered denial of connection with the robbery. Pernler testified that Metelski threw away the receipt after they made the purchases. It was out in testimony that Pernler, his wife and Metelski and the litter's "girl friend." were accompanied by a third couple to a party at the bungalow of the late "Shooey" Bonner at Lake Cotoxen.

Both Pernler and his wife refused to reveal the names of the third couple. Mrs. Pernler described them as "a married woman from Camden and a married man from Philadelphia." It was a telephone tip to County Detective Zeller concerning the bungalow party that led to arrest of Metelski, in Camden. December 9, along with Frank Bunker, also of 1440 Haddon avenue. Pernler was nabbed a day later at his home.

Bunker was cleared by the grand Jury when it was disclosed he was occupying a cell in Camfien jail at the time of the robbery in Medford. The bungalow referred to in the testimony was owned by Bonner, who was "put on the spot." November 23. in Camden. Detective Zeller said he found several rifles there. One of which Pernler told the court he had borrowed from the slain gangster.

Accuser Says Prisoner and Two Others Robbed Him of $60 Ml ILDUP SUSPEC lil COHIM DEALS Treasury Head Says He Had No Knowledgs of Oil or Lean Grants Washington, Jan. 23 (I.N.S.) Andrew Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, had no knowledge of negotiations which led to the granting of the Bared oil concession in Colombia to a subsidiary of the" Gulf Oil Company, owned largely by Mellon interests, the secretary declared today in a statement issued to refute charges made before the Senate finance ''-jiP "A persistent effort has 'been made," the secretary "to connect the granting of the Barco oil Concession by the government of Colombia, with the granting of a loan bv American bankers to that govern ment, and to- imply that- improper influence was exercised in order to bring about the granting of the con cession." The Senate hearings were held at the request of Senator Johnson, ReJ nuhlican, of California, in connection with the lnevstigatlon of foreign loans by American bankers. Senator, Capper, Republican, of Kansas, in a radio speech declared tne coun try had been shocked at some of the facts brought out by the Mellon denied all knowledge of the Barco concession, saying: "I bad no knowledge of the granting of the Barco concession, which it is said was coincident with the fulfillment of a credit obligation. I had no knowledge at any time of any contract by bankers to grant a credit to ihe Colombian government, I never knew that such a credit' had been or fulfilled until the Senato hearings." U. S.

Boycott Hint Angers Japanese (Continued rom Page One) last September. It has been discussed freely in the secret sessions of the League of Council. The subject has been brought to the fore again by Japan's bold threats of naval action at Shanghai. Officials here see the possibility that economic pressure might take one of two forms a boycott or an embargo. I Boycott Discussed A boycott, they point out, could bo accomplished by concerted action of American business houses and banks in restricting Japanese lm ports and tightening credit.

More than one business firm has suggested that it might put pressure on Japan by influencing silk importers to cut off business relations with the island empire. An embargo, on Japanese goods would require congressional action. However, officials, point out a resolution now pending before congress would permit imposition of an embargo on a violator of the Kellogg pact. It was introduced by Congressman Morton Hull, Republican, of Illinois. The use of embargoes by the United States i not new, officials point out.

The executive now has congressional permission to place embargoes on arms shipments to China and Latin- America. However, such 'action as a punitive measure would be a new departure. Restriction of Japanese exports to the United States and Great Britain would be a severe blow to Tokio when it is combatting a Chinese boycott. V. S.

Good Customer Commerce department figures show that In 1919 the last year for which statistics are available almost, half of Japan's export jtrade was with these two countries. Together they consumed 45 percent of its exported goods, worth nearly a half-billion dollars. Presumably this figure has declined during the last two years. Consideration of economic pressure has been renewed simultaneously with Secretary of State Stimson's submission to the Senate of documents outlining the course of Japanese-American relations since the Chinese and Japanese first clashed last September. These documents.

appear to indicate that diplomatic persuasion has been wasted on Japan. Officials here are frankly con cerned about Japan's threat to take military or naval action at snangnai. They fear It may portend a general campaign to subjugate the Yangtze yalley or other seaports. 1 British official circles expressed the opinion today that it was unlikely the Japanese wouia invaae me international settlement at Shanghai, which is administered by Americans, British, Japanese and Chinese. They believe It possible, that Japan might land troops in tne cni-nese quarter.

Stlmson and Ambassador Sir Ronald Lindsay conferred last Monday. There have been frequent telephone conversations since then. Great Britain, it is indicated, is sympathetic toward the United States in its efforts to defend the "open door" policy and preserve China's territorial integrity, but is handicapped by domestic and continental troubles. American officials feel that they may count on the British in an emergency. London Balks at Plan for Boycott of Japan London, Jan.

28 (U.P.) Great Britain was ready today to protect her interests in Shanghai, but was not believed likely to co-operate in an economic boycott aimed to prevent Japanese occupation of the city. While the government was ready to do all in its power to protect British lives and property, well-Informed sources believed that Britain would express" hope of a "peaceful settlement" or ask assurances that her nationals would not be endangered. The government gave careful consideration to report from the British embassy at Washington of the conferences on the Far Eastern situation between British Ambassador Sir Ronald Lindsay and Secretary of State Stimson. It was understood that Washington expressed the desire for Anglo-American co-operation in the form of identical notes to Toklo and Nanking pointing out the menace to American and British Interests implied by clashes at WIFE'S CHARGES PLACE MAN UNDER PEACE BOND Clementon.

Japanese Decide to Occupy Shanghai (Continued from Page One) American and British troops.

The Japanese were in a position to move at any time against the Chinese army defending the native city. Zero Hour Passes The final Chinese move to save the city came at the zero hour. Mayor Wu's secretary delivered to Mural a' reply to the Japanese demands accepting them in every particular. Mural, responding; said the acceptance was satisfactory but the Japanese now would have, to determine whether the Chinese promises would be carried out. If anti-Japanese activities are not suspended, there will be immediate and drastic action, he said.

With Shanghai almost at the mercy of the Japanese, and other Japanese warships and marines at Nanking, the capital, the Chinese government was near disintegration. All semblance of government at Nanking was disappearing, the responsible officials for the most part having sought refuge in Shanghai, leaving only what General Chiang Kai-Shek, former president, could control as dictator. Troops Loot City Looting by Chinese troops In the native city at Shanghai meanwhile assumed more serious proportions on the outskirts. Chiang Kai-Shek sent a detachment of his personal forces to attempt to restore order in the ranks of the nineteenth route army, composed of Cantonese, now garrisoning the Shanghai areii. Chinese troops in the Cape! area north of the international settlement attempted to desert and Join the ranks of the 'labor unions and the volunteer "dare to die" corps.

Chinese Troops steady The Chinese navy and military evinced extraordinary activity, all defense forces being in position. It was understood the Japanese landing force would send a detachment to the headquarters of the anti- Japanese association to determine whether the order for dissolution was carried out. The marines may occupy the headquarters, it was indi cated, The detachment on its way to the building planned to destroy the barbed wire entanglements and other defences. Consul General Mural demanded that-Chinese barricades bordering the international settlement be removed immediately. He ordered Chinese troops withdraw immediately.

The Japanese expressed hope that the boycott and all other an ti-Japanese activities will cease and hostilities be obviated. Occupation of Nanking Indicated by Japanese Nanking, Jan. 27 (U.P.) All Japanese residents, including men, were ordered to evacuate Nanking today. The order indicated the Japanese forces intend to move into Nanking as well as Shanghai." The order said every man, woman and child should be at the riverfront at 3 p. when the cruiser Hirado would arrive to land marines and throw a cordon about the docks and hulks for their protection; The staff of the Japanese consulate Harbor Giyen by Governor presented- by Governor Moore to Mrs.

A case of tularemia or disease," in Maurice river township, said to have been contracted by a hunter from a rabbit shot in Cape May county, was reported today by the State Department of Health. The source of infection of the reported case is believed to have been a rabbit which such little vigor that it sat" within 13 feet of a group of gunners while they discussed which one would-shoot it. The man who later dressed the rabbit developed tularemia five days later. He had a scratch on the left little finger at the time. Investigation of the case by.

District -Health Officer Knight, of Pitman, revealed that two unreported cases of this disease had occurred in the same, township a year ago and one two years ago. These three with the one reported i last year and two in 1928 make a total of six tular emia cases which have come to official attention in New Rabbits "which have caused recognised cases of tularemia in New Jersey have come from near the three corners of Cape May county, namely, near Wlldwood, Beasley's Point and Eldora. The two unreported cases are said to have been infected rabbits shot near Helslerville and not far from Eldora. i i Light Tappings May Be Sub Signal (Continued from Page One) lng of cranesand orders shouted aboard the ships. I Overhead a seaplane droned.

Its pilots and observers sought to catch some glimpse of the lost submarine's hulk. i A Workers were silent. a They were on lookout for bodies which might have reached the surface, indicating the submarine was nearby and that the members of the crew were dead. Searchers Nerves Tense I passed close to weary experts aboard the rescue ships, watching instruments for Jhe slightest sound from the M-2. Their nerves and faces betrayed the effects of 'their long vigil.

The water calmed temporarily. The wind dropped to a light northeasterly breeze. I ordered the motor of my launch cut off. The small craft drifted slowly. Th visibility was four miles.

Experts' told me conditions were excellent for both sweeps lng and diving. The operations were desperate but fascinating. Arrival of the "one man an apparatus in which a single diver may descend to unusual depths and work a pincer-like mechanism, was awaited eagerly. An expert diver already had incased himself in a steel suit preparatory for a plunge to the bottom in the "one man submarine." One expert diver, now retired, who had descended into Dead Man's bay many times, told me some of the dlf-1 Acuities confronted by the -divers. The water is very dirty, he said.

Divers are orbed to feel their way. The tides are variable and danger ous. "I feel certain thai the i' crew of the M-2 Is dead," the diver said. "Otherwise, since -the ship was not believed to have been involved in a collision, the imprisoned men would release oil to the surface, or release torpedoes, or. make noises which the instruments could pick up.

There is no hope." Skipper Says Ships Hunt in Wrong Place Gravelines, France, Jan. 28 (U.P.) The skipper of a coastal vessel believed to be the last to see the submarine M-2 said today he thought rescue ships were looking in the wrong area. 1 Capt Howard, of the steamer Tyne-sider said he saw a submarine "with the mark dive stern first in the channel about eight miles north-northwest of Portland Bill and about two and a half miles from shore. The search so far has not extended so far north of Portland. "I was proceeding to Portland Tuesday and passed Portland Bill about 12.30 p.

and saw a submarine with the mark 'M' on the surface," the skipper said. "Two minutes later I saw the submarine with her end down at an angle of about 45 degrees. Then she dived Into the sea." Howard coaled his ship at Portland and left for the French side of the channel. He heard of the disappearance of the submarine by wireless en route. He intended to telephone the British admiralty immediately.

'No Progress' in Search, is Report of Admiralty London. Jan. 23 (U.P.) The admiralty issued the following communique today: "The following signal sent by the rear admiral of submarines at 8 a. m. has been received: 'Regret no progress during night and concentrating efforts to obstructions previously reported and also in vicinity of position seven miles, 300, degrees from Portland Bill, to which the Tyneslder and schooner Crown of Denmark have drawn The admiralty announced It had received a report from the crown of Denmark that It saw a bright light and beard two loud explosives in the vicinity at 6.40 p.

Sporadic fighting broke out afresh today as Chinese guerilla bands sacked sections of this city, killing scores and wounding many, including numerous Russians.

The casualties were estimated at upward of The authorities appeared powerless to halt the marauding bands, said to be troops from the army of Ting Chow. In addition to the 180 military casualties, 80 civilians were reported wounded. An explosion of a secret munitions Cache on the outskirts of Harbin injured 50 Russians during the second day of terror as the Chinese troops continued their plundering, The office of the Japanese language newspaper Tapeijikpao, under Korean management, was sacked, allegedly by Chinese soldiers. The Hakual hospital and the Russo-Japanese association school were besieged. Consular officials warned the Chinese that foreigners must be protected.

The Chinese replied that foreigners should remain Indoors. Gen. Ma Chan-Shan, who was driven, from Tsitslhar by the Japanese some weeks ago, arrived at Harbin during the day to attempt to stop the fighting. Soviet Employes Flee After Defying Japanese Changchung, Manchuria, Jan. 28 (U.T..)
