ping of the oil measures in the south
ern part of this state has relieved the
mineral oil-bearng formations from
the pressure of the gas created in them,
and the possible subterranean gas ex-
ploson produced by excessive pressure.
and thus removed one. of the supposed
causes of earthquakes in that section.
There may be nothing in the theory,
but it has been observed that the Los
Angeles district has been notably ex-
empt from seismic disturbances since
the oil measures were tapped and vent
given to the gases generated in them.
Likewise the theory that the Shamaka
earthquake was due to the drain on the
petroleum reservoirs in the Caucasus
by the Baku wells may be entirely at
fault. But the two phenomena seem to
invite the attention of the scientist, and
open new field for the study OF seis-
mic disturbances.

for cause and effect so together in the
scientific analysis of all phenomena. Is
the great natural oil reservoir tapped
by the oil wells of Baku, on the shores
of the Caspian sea, located under the
site of Shamaka, and has the tremend-
Gus drain of mineral oil from the same
caused void and Il subsequent shrink
age in the earth's crust in that neigh
borhood? The inquiry is not far
fetched. 1t is usually assumed that
water takes the place of the oil with
drawn from the measures, filling the
vacuum created by the latter's with
drawal, but If the water, being more
tensous, should find an lndependent
vent elsewhere, the vacuum created by
the drainage of the mineral oil would
remain. and shrinkage of the unsup-
ported crust of the earth would natur-
ally follow sooner or later.
1t has been suggested that the tap

Mayors New Excise Board
Clamors for $4,000 for
Salaries and Expenses


The Board of Excise Commissioners
held meeting last night at the City Hall.
The most important business transacted
was the adoption of a resolution author
izing President Bacon to represent the
Board this afternoon at the meeting of the
Board Of Finance and to ask that an APP
preparation of 4.s00 be made for the Ex-
else Board. This money is to pay the
salaries of the Commissioners to next De-
cenber The salary provided is $1,000 a
year The Commissioners are willing to
let the money due them for services up
to this time 60 The salaries of two in
spectors at $1,000 year are also to be
paid out of this sum. Then there is sal
ary Of $500 for an assistant clerk to be
paid.
sIr. Bacon viii wait on the Board of
FinaRce with a copy of Assembly bill No.
125 and will point out the section provid-
ing for salary.
The move was entirely unexpected at
this time and it was impossible to learn
I the views of the Board of Finance on the
Z subject. 1t is unlikely that any definite
action will be taken this afternoon.

SOON Be OVER
Bright Prospects That the
Labor Troubles in Bay

tied Shortly.

The Executive Board of the Building
Trades Council held a conference last
night with committee of the Bayonne
Master Building Thardes' Protective As
ISOLATION at Heiser's Hall. Commun1paw
Avenue and Grand tsreet, and as a re-
suit the indications now point to an early
settlement of the trade difficulties in Ba-
yonne
The journeymen were represented by
Way, of the Plasterers; Wwyer. of the
Plumbers; Huntington. Of the Painters;
Vreeland, of the Carpenters, and Brady,
of the Laborers. The bosses present were
White. mason: O'Neill and Higgins.
plumbers, and Waters and siefken, Of the
carpenters.
A decided conciliatory spirit was mani
tested by both sides as all existing diff
cuities between masters and men. of the
different industries was discussed. 1t was
shown that the masters did not object so
much to the increase in the wage rates
fixed by the new schedules as to some
other details in connection with the work
ings of several OF the trades The prac-
tiee Of painters and carpenters taking
their lools home at night and doing work
on their own account was one of the
things objected to by the masters. and
the fact of the laborers half-holiday in
terfering with the work Of the union
brfcklayers, who did not ask the Satur-
day half-holiday, was another matter dis
cussed.
The committee of contractors was not
authorized by the body 1t represented to
enter into any final settlement of existing
difficulties, but the amicable discussion on
both sides showed a disposition to enter
into an agreement calling all trouble off.
The masters association will meet at
iHendrickson Hall, Bayonne. tonight.
when its committee will report on the re-
suit Of the conference and arrange for a
joint meeting with Representatives of the
jeurneymen at the same place Thursday
afternoon at two O'Clock, when it is be-
lieved a settlement Of ali trade differences
will be reached.
There are still some few boss painters
in North Hudson and Hoboken, who have
not acceded to the demands, but all their
jobs are Dicketed and, since the Amalga-
mated men have been withdrawn, are tied
up.
A regular meeting of the Building
Trades Council viii be held at Council
Hall tonight, when full reports of the
operation of the new schedules in the
different sections of the County viii be
received.

BETTER PARKS
Citizens Ask Street and
Water Board to I'm
prove Gity's Breath
ing Places.

The Park Committee of the Twelf Il
Ward Improvement Association and the
Hudson City Business Mems association
and the Good Government Association Of
Lafayette, were before the Board Of
Street and Water Commissioners yesIer-
day to urge the Improvement of the parks
they are interested in respectively.
The Park Committee urged the pur-
chase of the site to the east OF the pres-
ent Riverview Park. This site is now
open and the view to the Hudson Riv~r
is clear. 1t is feared that the owners Of
the property will build there and thus
shut the present park up IN what has
been called "a pokey little hole. A bill
was passed at the last session of the Leg
islature giving the Board of Finance au-
thority to issue bonds in the sum of $5o,-
coo for the purchase and Improvement of
the site in question. That Board mas re
fused to do anything in the matter.
The Lafayette delegation want the In :
provement Of the new Lafayette Park
site begun at once so that the openinr,
can be effected on Arbor Day. There y
only about 5000 now left for that nur-
pose and this is not enough to do all that
is contemplated.
The Street and Water Commissioners tod
the gentlemen that they were in favor OF
Inc Improvements requested and would
urge the Board of Finance to make APP
preparations this afternoon when the FL
nanciers meet.

Druggists Association Con-
denim the Free Dispensary
Movement.

The Jersey City Druggists Association
met yester dayafternoon in Phillips's
Hall and Mayor Fagan and his pet bill
empowering the Board of Finance to APP
propriate funds for free dispensaries were
gwen a thorough searching. 1t developed
during the discussion that doctor in
Greenville had lost several patients since
tho dispensary was opened on Danforth
avenue by the German Hospital Associa-
tion. These people who were receiving
treatment and advice almost free were
well able to pay for them. The druggists
seemed to be of the opinion that much
deception would be practiced when the
dispensaries were opened and one druggist
said he knew of several cases where
women drove up in their own carriages
TO receive free treatment.
1t was deemed inexpedent to pass any
resolutions at this time, but it is likely
that some action viii soon be taken

CARS IN The BAY
Part Of a Coal Train Goes
Through Central Draw
Brakeman Drowned


Traffic was blocked for four hours last
night on the main line of the New jersey
Central Railroad by the breaking of a coal
train approaching Bayonne. Three coal
cars rolled down the grade and plunged
into Newark Bay through the open draw
of the bridge.
Thomas Long flagman. was carried
down with the runaway cars and
drowned.
The train, drawn by engine No. 467,, left
Elizabeth shortly before 6 o'clock and
had crossed the Newark Bay drawbridge.
The engineer slowed up or entering Bay
onne to switch three cars on the siding
at West Eighth street. As soon as the
train had crossed the bridge the draw was
opened TO allow a schooner to pass.
The three cars became uncoupled and
started down the grade toward the bay.
They had gained considerable headway
before the accident was noticed. Long en-
deavored to put on brakes. and stuck to
the cars until too late. They rushed upon
the approach of the bridge and dropped
into the water, carrying him to his death.
A wrecking train was hurried to the
scene of the accident, while trains on both
sides of the bridge were warned Of the
danger. 1t was four hours before the
wrecked cars could be removed, permit
ting the bridge to close and allowing the
resum mption of traffic
