POWERS ON RACK
IN WANAQUE CASE.

Representatives of the East Jersey
Water Company and the companies
connected with 1t, as well as the rep
resentatives of Paterson, Passaic and
other cities, had their innings at the
hearing given by the State Water
Supply Commission in the City Hall
at Paterson today and gave their OBJ
jections to the granting of Newark's
application for the water rights in the
Wanaque river. Both the corporations
and the cities had their men at the
meeting in Newark three weeks ago
and at one in Midvale last week. At
that time they stated that they were
saving their ammunition for today's
event.
William Fl. Corbin, of Collinss&sCor-
bin, Jersey City, who represent many
water companies about Paterson and
Passaic, called William L. Powers, of
Bloomfield, superintendent of the Nor
ris canal, to the stand. Under Mr..
Collins's questioning, Superintendent
Powers told how the Morris canal got
It's water from Greenwood Lake and
brought 1t down the Wanaque river to
P0mpton, where 1t entered a feeder.
The witness declared that while not as
much water was used as formerly
what was used was necessary for the
life of the canal.
John H.. Cook, hydraulic engineer OF
the Passaic and other water compa-
lies, showed the per capita consump-
ton of those companies and how it
was distributed. Mr.. Collins said in
answer to a question by Commissioner
Harry Bachelor hat the East Jersey
Water Company and the Jersey City
Water Supply Company were not iden-
teal.
1t was developed that Paterson might
get additional water supply from the
Ramapo by gravity. but that part of 1t
would, have to be pumped on account of
the fact that some portions of the town
are high. Such additional supply could
be found no other place In the water
shed with the exception of the Wanna
que, 1t was said.
Mayor Mcbride, of Paterson, said
that city would like to hav the Wanna
que supply In ease the State conserva-
ton scheme did not go through. and he
would be glad to nave the other cities
share it.
The hearing was adjourned until oc-
tcber 5.
Those who represented Newark were
City Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd, City
Counsel James r. Nugent n the
members of the Board of Works.

the late Joseph Hart, former superin-
tendent of the Clark Thread Mills,
passed away last night at her home,
209 Mt. Prospect avenue. She had been

but 1t was not until last June that
anything of a serious nature devel-
oped. Since then she had been COM
PEELED to remain In her ROOM.
Mrs. Hart was born in Paisley, Scot
land, in 1912, and game direct to this
city in 1868, the same year in which
she was married to Mr.. Hart. Mr..

Oldest members, and her home.

the absence of the Rev. DR.. James I,

OFFICERS CALLED
TO ELECT COLONEL
First Regiment Will Name Sue
cess0r to General Freeman
Next Monday Night.

An order to the officers of the First
regiment to appear at the armory on
Monday. September %, for the pur-
pose of electing a colonel, has just
been issued. 1t bears the name of the
former colonel of the regiment with
his new title. The order reads:
"The officers of the First regiment
will assemble at the First regiment
armory on Monday, September 81, 1909,
at 8 O'Clock p. M, for the purpose of
electing a colonel. Officers will appear
in dress uniform without side arms.
by command of Brigadier-Geners
Freeman. (Signed)
"ALEXANDER P. GRAY, JR,,
"Adjutant-General."
When 1t became certain, after the re-
tirement of Brigadier-General Joseph
H. B~rensinger, of the First Brigade,
that Colonel Freeman would be his sue
cessor, speculation as to Colonel Free
mans successor as ranking officer of
the First became rife, and several can
didates were advanced. Among them
were Lieutenant-C Colonel Arthur Row
land, inspector of small arms practise.
and a former major of, the First, and
the present lleutenant-colonel, John d.
Fraser.
Captain Parker, of the Twelfth New
York, a cousin of Congressman r.
Wayne Parker, has been mentioned.
but the sentiment of the officers who
will have a vote in the election seems
to be against choosing any outsider.

TRANSFERS TO END
SCHOOL CONGESTION.
Overcrowded Conditions Being
Gradually Remedied.

The overerowded conditions which
existed In the public schools at the
opening of h present term are being
gradually remedied by a system IT
transfers and consolidation inaugurated
by h members of the Board Of Edu-
cation Acting under this plan two
classes have been transferred from the
FIFTEENTH to h Fourteenth Avenue
school, and n class has been trans
ferred from the Fifteenth 10 the Tenth
Street School. These transfers will put
an end to the halliday sessions at the
Fifteenth Avenue School.
1t Is the intention of the members OF
the Board Of Education to enlarge upon
this system of transfers and consoli-
dation, and it is thought probable that
within a few weeks the great majority
Of the halliday classes will have been
eliminated.
