WANTS TO SAVE
COUNTY MONEY

NEW BRUNSWICK, July ID
DR.. Hahn, of the Law and Order
League, and Prosecutor Berdine had
a conference Thursday regarding the
wisdom of continuing the trial of To-
cal excise cases, but came to no de-
cision DR.. Hahn wants all of the
forty indictments for Sunday selling
prosecuted, while the prosecutor
questions the policy of putting the
county to the expense, as represen-
tative jury has already disregarded
the evidence of the Law and Order
Leagues detectives.
The trial of the Klein Brothers
this week resulted in an acquittal.
The evidence was gathered by DR..
Hahn's detectives, who also gathered
all the evidence against the other sa-
loonkeepers. Counsel for the defense
so riddled their testimony that the
jury put no faith in it and acquitted
the defendants. The prosecutor fears
that with the same kind OF evidence
against the other saloonkeepers the
same results will follow.
The Klein trial cost the county IN
ordinary court expenses $3.50, and
the prosecutor does not feel Justified
in putting the county to an expense
of $22,4OO to try the rest of the cases,
unless there appears to be well defln-
ed public demand that he should do
so.

Gasoline Attire in
Boat Caused
Danger.
DOCKS WERE MENACED.
Party Of Men Was Leaving Fish
Boat When Lantern Upset and
Caused Fire Fears for
Safety Of Ferryboat
Warren.

Washington Hose Company's chem
ical apparatus was called out on
still alarm about II o'clock last night
to assist in extinguishing a fire in
Michael Kennedy'sl oyster skiff. The
skiff was tied up at Donovan's dock,
adjoining Bunten's, just north of the
ferry slip, when the fire started.
Michael Kennedy, Douglas Nc
Farland, a son of Mr.. Kennedy, and
Mr.. Hansen were in the boat at the
time. The party had been up the
river for a load of fish from the
seines. The trip back was made with
out mishap until the last moment,
when the skiff, which contains gas
oline engine, had been made fast to
the dock. The party began to alight
one by one and, in doing so, the YES
sci was turned slightly on it's side,
which upset a lantern nearthe gaso-
line tank. The tank leaked and a
quantity of gasoline outside of the
tank Immediately took fire. The
blaze ran along the feed pipe to the
engine and in few minutes the en-
tire boat would. have been ablaze but
for the presence of mind of those in
the. boat who seized pals and other
implements to throw water on the
blaze. The contents of the tank COM
menced to blaze high in air, but the
tank was torn from the boat in time
to save it.
The men. directed their attention to
the vessel and not for moment
thought of the danger of the ferry
boat Warren and number of nearby
tugs. The hawsers which held the
skiff were already commencing to
blaze near the dock. When the
Washingtons arrived, the firemen di-
rected their efforts to take care of the
dock and other vessels.
The damage to the boat will reach
between $25 and $50.
Some boys who were near the dock
at the time saw the accident and ran
to William Warner and other Wash
ington firemen, who got out the ap-
paratus Immediately. They could not
make much headway to the fire: They
went down Fayette street and had to
fairly feel their way, ringing the bell
constantly. The street at this point
in turning into Water street is in
darkness and is endangered by the
material in the street there.

Brother Of the Great Shipbui|der
Now in TOttenviIIe Arrang-
Ing for the Start.
NIXON BACK TUESDAY
Plant Now in Operation at Jersey
Cltywill Be Moved to TOtten-
Vile When Ready.
SpeciGl to the EVENING NEWS:

TOTTENVlLLE, July 13: = The
Standard Motor Construction Com
pany, of which Lewis Nixon, the
shipbuilder, is president, will shortly
start work on its large manufactur-
ing plant on their property on Broad
way near Church, this place. William
w. Nixon, a brother of Lewis Nixon,
who is in charge of the Washington
office, is in town at present looking
after the interests of the concern.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter last night Mr.. Nixon said that
the plans and specifications for the
buildings were about completed and
as soon as his brother, Lewis Nixon,
arrived home from Europe, which
will be Tuesday, active work would
be commenced. He stated that the
present plant at Jersey City, employ
ing about AIS hands, would be moved
here as soon as this one was COM
pleted.
1t is expected that this plant will
employ from 500 to 900 men. 1t
will cover about four acres and will
cost about 100000.
Mr. Nixon made his first announce
ment of this establishment at din
ner given at Straeter's West End
Hotel on the night of March 10. He
declared at that time that the first
products of the plant would be an
engine that would drive large ship
across the Atlantic in four days. The
plans and patents for this engine had
then been obtained and arrangements
had been made to place ii in some of
the largest ships afioat.
The work of the concern will be
confined chiefly to the building of
marine engines.
William Nixon is at present stop
ping at the Aulic in Bentley street.
He expects to sail either Thursday
or next Saturday on a business trip
to Southampton, England, in the in
terest of the company.
The erection of number of dwell
ing houses for the employees at the
plant is contemplated on the property
purchased by the company on what
is known as Hart's Heights, almost
directly opposite the proposed plant.

VogeI May Be Obliged TO Ask
Health Board for an Eyten-
sion of Time.
INSPECTOR AT PLACE.
Mr.. Brewster Has Received Com
plant of Debris from Greg
orys Marine Graveyard.

Health Inspector Brewster visited
Vogel's Division street slaughter
house yesterday and found matters
in good condition. The people in the
neighborhood are still complaining,
although the inspector says it is as
clean as it can bs made and is with
out stencil.
Proprietor Vogel may ask the
board for an extension of time in
which to move the business. But
two weeks of the forty-five days al
lowed him by the board remains and
he is still without a site. The board
is at loss as what to do in this case
They state he must move to an un-
settled district, but, at all such loca-
tions found, there are no sewers and
no water mains, both of which are abb
solutely necessary for the mainte-
nance of a slaughter house.
\ Complaints have recently been
made to Health Inspector Brewster in
regard to the old wood from Greg
ory's marine graveyard, which is al
lowed to drift for some distance down
the river and finally land on it's banks
to remain for months. Fishermen
and boat owners rose up in arms
about a month ago and sent COM
plants to the war department and
the sewerage commission. The own
ers of small craft state that the float
ing wood is a danger and menace to
boats. The inspector will have the
matter attended to, if possible.
Inspector Brewster visited all the
public dumps this morning in order
to have the contractors cover them vi
properly for Sunday.

Butter.makers Contest.

A butter-scoring contest will be
held at the annual convention of the
State Dairymans Association, at
Stanwood, Wash, on Dec. 18th-to
Goth, in which all the dairymen of
the state will have an opportunity
to participate. Professor /. P.
Whitney, who is instructor in dairy
ing at the State College, and, as Sec
re.ary of the Dairymens' Associate n
is taking an active part in arranging
for this contest, believes that the
dairying interests of Washington
have vital need for such a COM
paris IN of produse.
We must acknowledge that
Washington creamery butter is be-
low standard. Why is this? The
creamery man doesn't know how to
make good butter. There is reason
for the poor quality of our butter, OF
course; and the best way to find
this reason, is for the butter-makers
OF the state to get together, and COM
pare their product. Our butter
lacks uniformity; therefore, get to-
gether, and discover the reason; for
this hope that every dairyman in
the State of Washington will either
bring, or send a box of butter to
this contest -

Good Roads; Cheaper Hauling.

"A convincing argument that it
pays to expend money in the con-
struction Of good roads is that pro-
ducts may be marketed more
cheaply and quickly, too. Frank
Terris, farmer who attended the
Washington Good Roads Associa-
ton convention in Bellingham last
week, explained how good roads
had paid him. He raises a great
deal of cabbage. Last year he
raised 100 tons and year before 12O
tons. In 1905, before the road
from his farm to the market was
improved, he did not undertake to
haul more than one ton of cabbage
a load. By the harvesting season
OF 1906 the road had been improved
and he hauled two and one half tons
at a load. He lives sixteen miles
from the market. He believes that
for every dollar spent for good
roads the people will get $40 back.
One can soon compute the saving
to him. With a crop OF 100 tons,
it would take a man and team 100
days to take it to market with roads
in the condition they were form
erly. After they were improved it
would take man and team but
forty days to market the same crop.
There is saving of sixty days
work of man and team.
A writer in Outing recently COM
puted the financial advantage of
good roads. To haul a ton ten
miles on dirt roads is worth $3.50,
or 25 cts. per ton per mile. When
a road is improved with gravel or
macadam or other firm material
and the grades are made easier, a
two horse team, he finds, can haul
from three to four tons, 80 that the
cost of marketing products at dis
tance of ten miles is reduced from
25 cents per ton per mile to 7 or 8
cents per ton per mile. Certainly
it pay' to expend money for good
roads. Ledger.

A Good Explanation

No bank keeps all it's deposits on
hand. If banks were compelled to
do that, there would be no use, in
having deposits, no use in having a
bank. The purpose of bank is to
borrow money and loan it. 1t is
unreasonable for patrons OF bank
all to call on the bank for their fund
at one time. No bank could meet
such a run. If the bank has loaned
out it's customers money, the bank
has taken security for it and all the
bank wants is to have time to con-
vert it's securities into cash. Ii you
force the bank to convert its Sc
curities into cash, and then the cash
is withdrawn, you know what comes
next, to-wit: the soup house and
general suspension of business.
Good sense is required at the pre-
sent time. There is just as much
money in the country now as there
was six months ago. 1t is every
mans duty to help the present
situation by enthusiastic co-operat-
ion with the bankers, merchants and
manufacturers. Then all will be
well -Des Moines, Iowa, Capital.
