WATCHMAN'S PAY HELD UP
New Brunswick Mayorand Water Board
Have Clash Over It.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 15.-The Board
of Water Commissioners, at a meeting last.
night, took issue with Mayor Drury w.
Cooper again over the payment of the bill
Of Alfred johnson for $50 for guarding tho
watershed Of Lawrence Brook, the sources
of the citys water supply. The board
hired johnson, who was the regular watch
man, in the sprlng to keep summer board
ers along the brook from bathing in the
stream. TIL Mayor vetoed the bill on the
ground that there was not enough work
for two watchmen and because johnson
had not devoted his whole time to the
work.
Last night the Mayor returned the bill
with a second veto. and the board promptly
passed it again over his veto. The Mayor
will undoubtedly veto 1t again, and this
procedure is apt to continue until Mayor
Cooper's term expires on January 1. There
is feeling between the members of the
board and the Mayor because the Mayor
opposed giving the board full power to
erect a 100000 filtration plant, as he de-
sired to have a Mayors commission and
the Common Council do the work in con-
Junction with the Water Board. The fltra-
tion plant has not been built because ~

WHITES AND JAPANESE
HURT IN LAUNDRY ATTACK.
Riot Follows Breaking of window by
Intoxicated Man, Who Is Set Upon
by 0rientals.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-As a re-
sult OF an attack on a Japanese laundry
last night, the proprietor and n OF
his employees are in the Emergency
Hospital, many whites are nursing
bruising caused by the clubs of the Pr
lice and the exterior of the aundry Is
a wreck.
The trouble was occasioned by Joseph
King, an intoxicated ledger, who
crashed into the window of the laundry
conducted by one Umkekubo, at 422
Feel street.
The proprietor and a Japanese
named Omura rushed out and dragged
King into a rear room, where he was
placed in charge of a young Japanese,
who stood guard armed with a section
of gaspipe while the other Japanese
hurried to summon the police to arrest
King.
Three intoxicated companions of King
witnessed the incident and they plan
ned to rescue their friend. Other
whites were called in and there fol-
lowed a combined attack on the aun-
dry. The streets were soon filled by a
large crowd. and a dozen Japanese on
the inside sought to repel the invaders.
Policeman Thomas Collier attacked
the crowd s~ingle-handed. Another Of
hcer soon arrived in an automobile, and
a riot call brought strong reinforce
ments. The police charged the crowd
with clubs and many persons were hit.
Umkekubo n Omura were conveyed
to the hospital, where it was found the
former was cut about the head, while
Omura sustained a fracture of the
shoulder. King was found asleep in
the rear room, innocent of the trouble
he had caused. Attorney Walker, Of
the Japanese Society of America, is
procuring evidence about the affair.

FOUR KILLED AND ONE
INJURED IN AUTO CRASH.
Party of Merrymakers, Including Mother
and Child, Among the Dead in
Pottstown Crossing Wreck.

POTTSTOWN, Pa, Oct. 15.-Running
briskly down Keim street OF their way
home after a visit here late yesterday
afternoon, a merry auto party of five
from Kimberton, a village near Phoe-
melville, were struck broadside by
Philadelphia and Reading express No.
Z, and four of the party We're almost
instantly killed.
The dead are:
Mrs. A. Wayne Emery and her baby
girl, velva, of Kimberton: Jacob
Reese, her brother, and Mrs. Reese.
Anthony w Emery, owner of the ma
chine, aged 45, has a broken thigh and
possibly internal injuries. His chance
for recovery is slight.
Train No. z is a fast express leaving
Philadelphia at 4:O6 and due here at
SIT. Running at full speed it reached
the crossing simultaneously with the
auto party, and struck the machine
fairly on the side.
The two men were hurled high into
the air and dropped at the bottom of
an e-mbankment along the tracks at the
place, fifty feet away. The little girl.
torn from her mothers arms, landed
near them. The women, both of whom
were instantly killed. were CdTIicu vi
the eowcatcher until the train was
stopped. three or four blocks away.
The Keim street crossing, a danger
Gus grade affair, has proved a death
trap many times in the past. 1t is APP
preached by a slight rise, preceded by
a long, heavy down grade, n its only
protection is a gong, rung mechanically
by approaching trains.
The %supposition is that Mr.. Emery
if he was aware at all Of the oncomine
express before the automobile wa
struck, had been running at too higl
a rate of speed to slow down, thu
crossing being a constant temptation
to autoists to speed down grade il
order to cover the rise.
A small building and a high, thicl
hedge fence cuts off a view of tn
track, and narrow escapes are exceed
ingly frequent.
The auto in the case was smashed t.
splinters and scattered for many fee
along the tracks.

LIVED ON RAW FOOD.
~stefansson, Ethnologist, Found 1t Pal
atable While with Esquimaux,

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Fish and meat,
most of it raw. was the food upon
which v. St~efansson, ethnologist of the
Mikkelsen- Lefingwell expedition. lived
while with the Esquimaux on the
northern edge of the American main
land last winter. Mr.. Stefansson. who
has just returned here. says that this
diet was p~alatable and healthful. and
that he gained twenty pounds on il.
Sometimes with EsquimauX and
sometimes without them. the ethnolo-
gist travelled about 1000 miles back and
forth along the coast from the far
cast of the Mackenzie River delta to
the winter station of the expedition at
FIaxman Island. He has a high opin-
ion of the hospitality of the Esquimaux.
The exploring vessel was unable TO
meet ~Stefansson at the Mackenzie delta
and he was without supplies when he
ended his overland trip OF the Arctic
coast. The natives took him to their
huts and would accept nothing for Civ
ing him food and shelter.
MI. Stefansson says that the Arctic
coast of his continent is very mac
curately charted, and that he had to
depend upon the compass largely. II
was the report of the supposed loss OF
the Mikkeisen Leffingwell expedition
which brought him home.

TORCH STOPS TRAIN ON
BRINK OF BROKEN RAIL,
Berkeley Heights Mason, with Burning
Paper, Hats Lackawanna Express Just

in Time-Heard Alarm Gong.
BERKELEY HEIGHTS, Oct. Ito
George Wall, a prominent mason and
builder of this place, is probably due
the credit for saving a Lackawanna ex-
press train from a disastrous wreck
near here early last evening.
Mr.. Wall was passing the track at the
Plainfield avenue crossing when he
heard the alarm gong sounding. Look
ing both ways and seeing no train APP
preaching, he suspected that something
was wrong.
Knowing that it was about time for
a Bernardsville and Gladstone express,
due here a few minutes after Z o'clock,
Mr.. Wall started in to make an investi-
CATION.
Going UP the track a short distance,
he found that a long piece of the f1ange
had been torn from one of the rails.
The rail was a new one, recently laid.
1t is now supposed to have been de-
~fective.
Mr.. Wall ran up the track as rapidly
as he could to flag the express, and sig
nailed it by lighting newspapers, using
the flare as a torch, waving it in the
path of the approaching locomotive.
Engineer Talmadge saw h signal
and brought his train to a stop within
a few feet of the danger. Conductor
Blum ran forward and the two exam
ined the rail. They summoned track
workmen and held the train forty-flvC
minutes until another and sounder raj
could be laid. MIR. Wall brought his
mechanical skill into play, aiding il
the repairs. Hundreds of commuters
going to their homes, were thrown int
an excited state by the hurried stop
and all breathi% a sigh of relief wheI
they found the danger had been avert
cd, and many profuse thanks were
given Mr.. Wall.

FRANCHISE IN DANGER.
Township of Delanco Threatens to An.

BEVERLY. Oct. 15.-The long continued
war between the Public Service Corpora
ton and Delaneo is not abating and the
township is considering the ~advisability of
annuling the gas franchise of the corpora
tion because of the latter's failure to ex-
tend it's pipes to the new section of the
town.
The Public Service Corporation has inti-
mated that only on a cash guarantee to be
furnished by those who desire gas will it
make the desired extension. This will
amount to $500 and will be returned to
them when sufficient houses have been
built on the tracts to warrant the ex-
tension of the mains.

he has violated some penal statute.
Many OF the London licenses are OF
