SaWeyilIe Mad Expects to GET
Rich on His New Dis
COveTy.

Vreeland Van D~eventer, Of Sayreviile,
will soon be ranked among the coal
barons of the country.
Mr.. Vreeland said that he saw In a
New York paper last February an account
OF where a substance had been found in a
bog which would burn as well'as coal and
was q good substitute. He had a stretch
of % acres from which he had cut the
timber. The land was not worth much
to him. He looked over The bog and
thought that he discovered some of the
kind of stuff that he had read about. He
gave a pail full to a neighbor and the
neighbor dried it and found that ii
burned all right, the only objection to il
being that it had a bad smell. But then
coal has a bad smell, too, reasoned Mr..
Van Dcventer. IL it is not handled proper
ly.
He sent a kcg of the stuff to II. ii.
.Wothcrsoon, an expert of New York.
The expert put the substance through a
process which compressed il and made ii
up into bricks, which burned very we'll.
He told Mr.. Van Deventer that he had a
fuel and asked him to set a price on h is
land. Mr.. Van Deventer did not want to
sell.
Then Mr.. Wotherspoon offered to sup,
ply a lot of expensive machinery TO make
the stuff ready for the market. Mr.. Van
Deventer thinks that he does not need the
expensive machinery.
He has watched the process Of brick
manufacturing at Sayreville and thinks
that his fuel can be dried and shaped into
bricks the same as regular bricks are
made. He intends to try the experiment
anyway. He has kept his find to him
self until recently, rs he wishei to see what
there was in 1t before saying anything.
He is now satisfied that he has a valuable
fuel producing piece of land on his hands
and he means to make all of the money
possible out of it.

silk from the eocoons. If need be they
can put the raw silk In bales and prepare
Ut for shipment. AS the women are not
in the army Il Is not likely that hostile
bites will in any way Interfere with the
production of elk. The only event In
which the silk product Of Japan could be
withheld from the market would be the
b~lockading of her ports.
Within the last month Lyonnese mer-
chants have agitated the subject Of inn
posing a duty on manufactured silk
from Japan. The purchases of this silk
from Japan now foot up to about 50. 790,-
600 annually, and 1t is proposed to inn
pose upon 1t a protective duty Of about
$3.50 per kilogram (75 cents per /.
pounds. When these goods are r~eceives
here from Japan they are dyed ane
printed and reexported. large quantities
ofthem going to the United States. They
consist generally CT pongees, tuscan and
corah These goods could all be dyed
in the United States. The new duty, al
though to be RENTED when the Japan
ese goods are ~reexported, will. neverthe-
less. cause some inconvenience and de-
lay. The shippers would like to avoid
this II possible. and II their Japanese
silks could be dyed in the United States
1t would save them one reshipmcnt and
the delay caused in paying the duties
and in having them refunded upon trans
| shipment to the United States. 1t seems
to me that, with our better machinery
and more skillful workmen. we might
dye these goods as cheaply as the
French. French manufacturer who
have silk mills in the United States as
sure me that an American w~orkingmar
will do three times as much work In q
day as a Frenchman. They say mer

- I'M here to hdar those Interested
in navigation. II fou will write me
a letter / will refer il to the depart
ment, but cannot kive any op'nicn
here"
At this Mr.. Ha1ey started in to give
q history Of the whole matter. Colonel
Livermoro stonbed him and asked
what right he llan to speak. When
he learned he was the father of the
bridge" he allowed HIM to proceed.
III believe this to be the most
important bridge in New jersey"
began Mr.. Hafey. "TIe whole State
is interested and $50, 900 people are
clamoring for its completion. This
n mile Of bridge will cut off
twenty-five miles of travel. Twenty-
i've years age a bill was passed In the
Legislature permitting COMMITTEES TO
Issue bonds not TO exceed $780, 900 to
build a bridge. Two or tlroe years
ago the county was bonded for that
amount and the bridge was started.
That amount is pho limit Not nm
other cent can be raised to make any
ssianges MS the laM will not allew it,
After the briige lis completed moro
money can be a(ppropt iated and then
the changes can DO made.
.If the War Departments, pom
tinued Mr.. Haney, holds ub this
work and insists that the additional
spans be added now, tho bridge will
rot away.
"The original plans were twice APP
proved by the War Department, de-
clared Mr.. Ha1ey, with some feeling,
why didn't they find the mistakes
then. 1t doesn' It seem to me that the
department 10 acting fair in the
matter"
~NWhen Mr.. H$ney sat down tho
manufacturers wore called upon and
the secretary of their committee pro-
decided to read a long paper setting
( orth tho manufabturers views on the
subject. Tho paper SGT forth that they
wRnted to Aoe the bridge completed,
but they wanted tho two additional
spans. Attention was called to tho law
which was passed at the last session
OF the legislature with the referendum
clause which allows lho freohblders
to issue moro bonds. 1t was argued
that If The people wanted the bridge
SO badly they would vote in fayor of
spending the additional money at tho
eleption this fall and then the spans
could BIO placed in the structure.
The stand the manufao.
turers inrtbis paper caused some sur-
prise among the freeholders and IL
looks as If tlley were going to stand
bv their origi nal demands In which
event, it is the opinion mon county
officials here, the matter will be
carried 10 the courts.
The hearing is still on this after
noon.
