ROSELLE'S POLICE

ELIZABETH, y, j., Feb, 22-Whlle
the trustfu residents Of Roselle SUM-
bered early to-day a bold, bad automo-
bile party rushed into the town In
cloud OF dust, kidnapped the Roselle
police force and whirled away, Never
in the history OF the borough has 1t
been subjected TO such an nd!gn!ty.
David Hennessy, who makes up the po-
lice department and the village canstab-
uary tells the story best In his own
words:
II was aroused by the clatter and
bang after the machine and the shouts
OF the auto party as they tore back and
forth through the town, and | went
stepped out and pulled my gun, then
invited me to get into the machine so
that | could take them to police head
quarters. They were very nice about

but they did not seem to mind They
took me into the car and away We went
When We reached the jail shouted
for them to stop, but they went past
like a runaway Gomez. Then they told

Of the borough and told me to get out
and walk

arrest OF the auto party. Iennessy as

knights OF the road
The police force was back on his beat
before even the earliest riser had been
disturbed or the town had been ran
sacked. but he could not keep the story
quiet, and Roselle says the blot on its
schutcheon must he wiped out before
a magistrate.

TO IRRIGATE WITH
EAGLE LAKE WATER
University Chemist Completes
Tests of Water Ordered by
Federal Government

BERKELEY. June 7.-Investigations
by the chemists of the university have
shown that Eagle lake in Lassen coun-
ty is always at the same level. with no
visible watershed. 1t is also 1T for ir-
rigation and VIII soon be used to
fertilize the farming land in the
vicinity.
The tests of the water of Eagle
lake were made by George E. Colby,
expert chemist with the rank of pro-
fessor in the department of agricui-
ture, at the request of the federal
government.
The government was trying to find
the bottom of the lake without sue
cess, when a request was made that
the water be tested for irrigation.
Professor Colby completed the required
tests today.
Eagle lake is more than so miles
long and half as wide. Many unsuc-
cessful attempts have been made to
find bottom.
Scientists believe that subterranean
springs supply the water equal to the
annual amount of evaporation.

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS
Applicants Will Have Week End
Rest Between Test Periods

OAKLAND, June New rules for
applicants for teachers positions
throughout the county were announced
today by County Superintendent OF
Schools Frick. They will be in effect at
once. The regular semiannual exami-
nation for teachers certificates will be-
gin next Friday morning at o'clock
at the Oakland high school and will
continue until June I9.
One new departure is that the test
subjects, arithmetic, spelling, etc, will
come first in the examination and that
a week end rest will be afforded the
applicants before going on with the
rest of the examina ton.
Applicants will have TO take exami-
nations in % subjects in all. Hereafter.
however, II may be taken at one ex-
animation and the other IL at the ex-
animation six months later.
Another change is that If an appli-
cant succeeds in getting 80 per cent or
more in three subjects such a record is
made a permanent one, no matter
whether or not the entire examination
is successfully passed. In such cases
the successful record may be availed of
at a subsequent examination.
