the Newark Public Bath Improvement

delegation consisting of Henry r. Hill
fers, of the Essex Trades Council;
Philip Apter and DR.. Victor Parsonett
asked the association to do all it can
to aid The speedy building of the bath.
The plan of the organization is to
write to every candidate for alderman
asking him to pledge himself t. the
work and to vote for those only who
declare themselves in favor of it.
Ernest d. Easton, secretary of the
Committee of One Hundred, which is
conducting the campaign against
tuberculosis, declared to the association
hat he would rather battle in the Pas
sale than in the public baths as they
are at present. He said:
1.-THE cement pools absorb all the
poison and in n place 1 saw men spit
on the hoo While I was there. There
is no disinfection of the bathing suits

in them. The situation, as I found 1t,

Was Lucky Miner.

Physicians n nurses at the City
Hospital were inclined to believe tina
they had for treatment last night a
miner returned from Alaska, after SELL
ing his claim to a syndicate, or a yegg-
man, who had just cracked a fat safe,
when the contents of John M. Rapp's

was a truck farmer of Irvington, was
thrown from his wagon when a trolley
slipped up at high speed from the rear.
He was suffering from bruises and con
tusions. When his pockets were emp
tied money was found everywhere. So
far as the forms of currency was con-
cerned he had played no favorite and
silver, copper, nickel. greenbacks and
wen gold, in astonishing p~rofusion, met
the eyes of the hospital folks. When it
lad been counted and recounted the
pile was found to contain more than
$125.
Rapp got 1t all back today, when he
was discharged from the hospital.

lighthouses IN
NEWARK BARRED
BY LEGAL HITCH
Law Permitting Bond Issues for
NatatOriums Said to Be Not
Applicable Here.
RESOLUTION LAID ON TABLE
BY ALDERMANIC BOARD
Mayor Expected to Comment on
Question in His Annual
Il Message.

At the City Hall today office-holders
II politicians talked of the need of
the bath houses for the city and the
meeting of the Newark Public Bath I'M
proyement Association at the home of
DR.. F. c. Jacobson last night. Mayor
Haussling is preparing to receive a
committee of the association.
While it is generally admitted that
the need of lighthouses is urgent, there
is said to be a hitch in the law which
provides for them. AT the last meet
ing of the Common Council Alderman
Jerome L, Congleton, as chairman of
the committee on finance. had pre-
pared a resolution providing for a $780,
900 bond issue for a new bath-house.
When the board met the resolution
was not offered and the bath house
problem was put to sleep for another
month.
1t is claimed that the law which per-
mits bond issues for lighthouses does
not apply to this city. When the law
was drafted and presented at Trenton
it was made to fit the need of Jersey
City. it is claimed. The law says that
the nance committee of any BOARD of
any f1rst-class city may vote to issue
DOHuS lOT DdlIl-flOuSeS. NeWdI ldSn |
any finance board, and the law, in a
sense, was special legislation for Jersey
City. The law was so drafted. it is
claimed, as to prevent the possibility
of opposition from Essex county. Under
this law several fine new bath-houses
have been built in Jersey City, while
Newark has been tagging.
Those who are urging the erection of
ho Nh boi.Spc saw that If the legal tech
nicality is what is standing in the way
of new bath house 1t is splitting hairs.
While Jersey City's government and
Newark's government are different, 1t
IL claimed that the finance committee
of the Common Council can appropriate
the powers of the finance board of Jer-
sey City.
It will be recalled that Mayor Hauss
ling has sent several special messages
to the Common Council on the need of
lighthouses. While the Mayor will not
indicate at this time what further
action he will take, there seems to be
an impression h a he will have some
thing of Importance to say on the sub
tJect In his annual message.
AT least $500, 900 is needed for new
bath houses in Newark, said one we'll
known citizen today. This money
should be at the disposal of one of the
branches of the city government or In
the hands of a commission. With
$500, 900 land could be bought and four
or five handsome new bath-houses
erected"
1t was stated today that the Board
of Trade will take up the matter OF
lighthouses at its next meeting.

WRIGHT TO FOUND SCHOOL
TO INSTRUCT AVIATORS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Before leaving
yesterday for Washington, Wilbur
Wright declared that besides making
arrangements for the extensive man
ufacture of ~aeroplanes in Ohio he will
establish a school for the instruction
of aviators. He sees a great future
ahead for flying machines, both for
pleasure and practical uses, but does
not believe anyone should be permit
ted to operate one without careful
training. This, Is one of the reasons
why he has hesitated to build ma
chimes for enthusiastic novices.
The Wright brothers have received
many orders for flying machines, but
only a few have been accepted, the in
ventors believing the best plan is to
supply machines only to those who
know how to operate them. While
here Wilbur Wright received offers
from not less than fifty persons, an
offering large sums if he would agree
to make certain airship flights. Mr..
Wright looks upon a flying exhibition
for money as a circus feat and has re-
fused to accept snyy.
