BIG CONTRACT
Grouse Company Nearly Through
With Sewer Construction at
Waterbury, Conn.

The Grouse Construction Company,
of this city, has not very much work
remaining to be done on the large
sewer contract at Waterbury. Conn,
on which the company has been at
work for some time. The work is
now held up by water, as the sewer
runs near the waterfront, but, when
1t subsidies, operations will be re-
sumed and but about ten days actu-
al work will then be necessary to
complete 1t. The main trunk sewer
is about finished, but the branches
yet remain to be put in
The sewer is about 500 feet long
and averages about 4 u feet in di-
ameter. The total amount of work is
stated to be a little in excess of
100000. James +. Kirby, of this
city, has been foreman on the con-
tract, and returned to this city day
or two ago. 1t is expected that
Charles Peterson may go to Water
bury when work is resumed, in place
of Mr.. Kirby, whose new duties as
business agent of the local masons'
union will detain him here.
A number of photographs of the
completed portions of the big sewer
have been brought to this city.

PRACTICAL POINTS ON
HOLDING A CAMERA

One of the most important lessons
for a beginner to learn is to hold the
camera in the proper position during
exposure. Whenever there are cor
ners of buildings or other objects
which give vertical lines, the camera
must be held absolutely level. If this
is not done, the building in the pic
ture will appear to be falling either
backward or forward, according to
the way in which the camera was
tilted.
There are times, however, when
the camera may be tilted to advant-
age-in some cases it is an absolute
necessity. For example, in photo
graphs of clouds, waterfalls, balloons,
ETC., the camera may point upward;
while in taking pictures of people
work or play, etc., it may be pointed
downward. Very successful photo
graphs of prominent speakers, par
AIDES, crowds, ETC., have been taken
when the camera was held upside
down. 1t makes no difference in the
negative whether the camera is right
side up or not By holding the cam
era in the way suggested many a
photographer has secured good pic
lures, while others who tried to use
the camera in the usual way made
absolute failures. Often by holding
the camera by the side of the body
and pointing it backward, one may
secure pictures of children at play
and of older people in natural poses
without the knowledge of any mem
bers of the groups.
Another warning to beginners is
necessary. Do not try to take time
exposure while holding the camera in
the hand. Even if the camera is held
against the breast and respiration
stopped, the action of the heart is
sufficient to cause the box to vibrate
and spoil the picture.-From 1.-THE
Photographers Circle" in the March
Circle

aso, and Day.

Work on the New York & Long
Branch Railroad bridge over
the Raritan river is still slack and no
mason work has been done the past
month. About twenty-five men are
now building drilliages for caissons.
Several small power boats are also
under construction, and one was
completed yesterday. They are to be
used for workmen in their work
about the piers and other work above
water. When moderate weather
comes, said an employe yesterday,
work will be commenced on Sundays
in order to rush the bridge to compile
ton for the heavy summer traffic. 1t
was said that about May l the con-
tractors may commence to work
nights by the aid of electric arcs, in
order to rush the work along. At the
present, nothing is being done on the
bridge itself.

WITNESS WANTED.
Lurch Reluctant to Testify of Auto
Fatality in the "De-
serted Village"

| FREEHOLD, Mar. 6:--An inquest
which has been deferred for almost
six months because OF the reluctance
of a witness to testify will be held at
Manasquan Saturday when Coroner
| John R. Gravatt, of FREEHOLD, Will
make official inquiry concerning the
deaths of Mr.. and Mrs. J. George Lef-
fargue, of 126 Seventh avenue, New
York, and of Mrs. Charles Lurch, of
925 Lexington avenue, New York,
which occurred on a crossing of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Allaire, the
famous deserted village" just pur
chased by Arthur Brisbane on Aug
ust IS last.
With the party at the time of the
accident was Charles Lurch, husband
of one of the dead women. He sus-
tanned broken leg and arm, three
fractured,ribs and badly lacerated
arm, three fractured ribs and bad
ly lacerated head, and was removed
to hospital at Spring Lake. Coroner
Gravatt, believing thot it would be
months before he recovered sufficient
ly to testify, failed to serve him with
a subpoena. However, he did recover
with his nurse while convalescing.
One day in September he went driv-
ing without being accompanied by his
nurse, and he never returned, writing
later to the hospital authorities that
he was feeling better and would re-
main at home in New York. Every
effort has been made by Coroner
Gravatt to induce him to return to
New Jersey and appear at the in
quest, but he steadfastly refuses and
the coroner has determined to go
ahead without him. While lying on
the hospital cot Lurch stated to
friends who called that he had a
great reluctance to testify at the in
quest and go over the details of the
horrible deaths of his wife and
friends, and intimated that he would
avoid it if he saw an opening. In adj
dition to this it Is understood that
a contest is brewing between the chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. Leffargue over
their parents fortune Lurch Is in
llHldlely acquainted ana dSSOCldIeu
with both factions and under no con-
ditions does he care to be drawn into
the fight. Mr. and Mrs. Leffargue
left three children, Viola and j.
George Leffargue, and Mrs. ]. Blake
ney, of New York city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leffargue were stop
ping at Asbury Park and Mr.. and
Mrs. Lurch were staying at Avon. On
the fatal day, with Leffargue at the
wheel and his wife beside him, they
went to Avon and invited Lurch and
his wife to accompany them on a
drive to Lakewood. Nearing Allaire,
which is on the main road from AS
bury Park to Lakewood, they decid-
ed to visit the deserted village" and
had turned into the private road but !
about 200 yards when struck by the
locomotive. The automobile was
hurled twenty feet against the rail
road station wrecking the machine |
and crushing and mangling the bod
les of the unfortunate occupants,
three of whom met instant death.

ASBURY PARK GIVES
FIRST LIQUOR LICENSE.
Concession Has Been Granted to the
Blys, Who Are PrOprietOrs of
the Plaza Hotel.

ASBURY PARK, Mar. 6:-The
first liquor license in Asbury Park
was granted by the excise board last
night in the face of a written protest
from David Harvey, Jr., champion of
the mo license contingent" who said
the board was acting contrary to the
Ocean Grove one mile limit law and
in opposition to the covenants in
Founder" Bradley's Asbury Park
deeds
The successful applicants are Col
onel H. j. BLY, and Mrs. S. A. BLY,,
owners and proprietors of the Plaza
Hotel. The license was granted by a
vote of three to one in the board,
Exciseman McMurray being on record
as opposed to all licenses.
A second application filed by
George j. Riley, proprietor of the
Continental Hotel, Goodman avenue,
will be acted upon at the next meet
ing.
The BLY, license goes into effect
Immediately. 1t is expected that liti-
cation will follow operation under
the permit, but Colonel BLY, is pre-
pared to defend his privilege to the
finish and will probably open his cafe
early in the spring.
Everything now points to an early
settlement of the liquor question and
quick definition of Asbury Park s
status under the excise board. Col
onel BLY, will deposit his license fee
within ten days, but his rights under
the application were defined by the
board to begin at once.

CIVIC ART.
Organization of National Advisory
Board Object of Bill.

Board Object of Bill.
(From an Editorial in the March
Century)
The American Park and Outdoor
Art Association and the American
League for Civic Improvement have
been merged in what Is now known
as the American Civic Association, of
which j. Horace Mcfarland, of Har-
risburg, Pennsylvania, is president;
Clinton Rogers Woodruff, of Phila-
delphia, vice president and acting
secretary; and William B. Howland,
of New York, treasurer. This asso-
citation it is which is fighting the peo-
pies battle for the preservation of
Niagara. 1t has a number of de
partments," and one of these is spe-
cially arrayed against the bill board
nuisance. It promises an active cam
paign during the coming year.
Through the Department of Nuis-
ances" the association is seeking to
arouse public sentiment against OBJ
jectionable billboard advertising, and
is promulgating the idea that such
advertising can be controlled and reg
ulated either through the taxing or
police power of the commonwealth,
or by the application of the principle
of the boycott. a
There is plenty of room for the ac-
tivity of all the societies which touch
upon any branch of the movement for
esthetic betterment. In New York
the Municipal Art society is concern
ing itself with city plans. There are
local art commissions in Baltimore,
Boston, Cambridge, Chicago, Cincin-
natl, Denver, Detroit, Hartford, Min
neapolis, New Yrok, st. Louis, St.
Paul, San Francisco, Seattle, Los An
geles, and New Orleans. There are
more than $50 societies, with various
special artistic ends, in the country
and the influence of their members
tends toward beauty in public places.
In Washington the National So
ciety of the Fine Arts, taking up the
scheme of the National Art League, is
promoting bill providing for the Or
ganization of a National Advisory
Board on Civic Art, which board
would consider and 'report their
opinion concerning the artistic merit
of plans proposed by legislative or
administrative act for public struc-
lures, monuments, and fountains, for
the placing of mural painting in pub
lie structures, or for the opening,
modification, or establishment of any
public space belonging to the United
States" The board would also report
on the artistic merits of plans for
public structures, and for the open
ing, modification, establishment of
any public space within the District
of Columbia; and furthermore make
suggestions in annual reports to the
president
This Is a measure which would be
economical in the highest sense, for
it would put value into the result of
every artistic expenditure with which
the advisory board should deal. It's
only fault is that it does not go far
enough. and include coins and statues
and all works of art whatever which
are a matter of public cost.
