FIGHT NEWARKS
WANAQUE SITE
Trust Representatives Will Pro-
test Tomorrow Against Grant
ing of Application.

Water trust representatives and
water trust subsidiaries will be the
principals among the professors who
are due to appear before the State
Water Supply Commission at it's meet
ing in the City Hall tomorrow to take
up the question of Newark's applica-
ton for a reservoir site in the Wanna
que watershed. Several towns interest
ed will be on hand to object to the
granting of such permission, but In
nearly all cases they are municipalities
which are now being supplied by-water
companies which wish to continue their
hold on the watershed territory which
City Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd
says is the most available for the needs
that will certainly arise in Newark
within the next five or six years.
Mayor Mcbride, of Paterson, is TAX
ing the lead in organizing the oppo-
sition. He has not only issued a
proclamation to the citizens to at
tending the meeting, but has sent in
yitations to the other towns and COM
panies to attend. Protests will be
heard from the representatives of the
Passaic Water Company, the Society
for Useful Manufactures, Acquacka-
monk Water Company, Montclalr
Water Company, Dundee Water Power
and Land Company. West Milford

Besides these officials from Passaic,
East Newark, Harrison, Montclair,
Bloomfield, Kearny, Bayonne, Nutley
and West Orange have also been asked
to attend.
The Passaic Water Company will
protest for its stock holders and the
city of Paterson. The voice of Mayor
Mcbride and other Paterson city OFF,
cials will be added. among them City
Counsel Edward F. Mercy, City En-
gineer Harder, the members of the
Board of Finance Gand the Taxpayers
Association.
The basis of the protest is that
Paterson, or the companies supplying
it and other municipalities with water,
need the Wanaque itself. When New
ark attempted to secure the rights of
the Kikeout shed the same opposi-
ton came from Paterson and the other
cities which intimated that kikeout
was logically theirs and that if New
ark wanted additional water, h place
for it to go would be to the Wanaque.
If it can be secured, the Wanaque
means to Newark a duplication of it's
present water yield of 5O,000,0OO gal
Ions daily and will put off for many
years the water famine that threatens
this city within a short time unless
steps for relief are taken Immediately

NELL IN RACE
FOR COUNCILMAN
Young Orange Business Man
Announces Candidacy for Sec
0nd Ward Representative.

Summer time politics are cropping UP
in Orange and today the first definite
announcement of a candidate for a mu-
nicipal office was made by friends OF
J. Alexander Neill, president of the con-
Germ bearing his name, who is men
toned as a Republican nominee for
Councilman of the Second ward. Mr..
Neill is % years old. He has consented
to be a candidate for the vacancy to be
caused by the retirement from the
Common Council of Raymond E. Smith,
one of the Republican representatives
from the Second.
Mr.. NELL, who resides at 100 High
street, was graduated from the Orange
High School in the class of 1902, and
was a classmate of Councilman Frank
j. Murray, of the First ward, the
youngest member of the city body. He
is a member of the Mckinley and
Roosevelt Club, She Union League Club
and other organizations. s
Councilman Smith contemplaes re-
moving from the ward at the expiration

BIG CROWD ON
STAR OUTING
TOday's Trip to ROckaway On
of the Most Successful
of the Season.

Rays of sunshine came into hundreds
of darkened little lives today when the
eighth free outing of the STARS Free
Ice and Outing Fund for mothers and
sick babies to Rockaway Beach o
place. The trip was made on the
steamer Newark, which left the Com
mercia1 dock shortly after $50 a. m.
The event Is one of the most success
full of the season.
Mothers with babies in their arms
and with pale-faced children clinging to
their sides were at the dock fully balf
an hour before the time fixedffor start
ing. At the sight of the boat little
eyes frightened and color came into
wan cheeks. Once safely aboard the
little folk laughed and chartered as they
scrambled for the seats of vantage
Several of the mothers were unable to
get tickets. At the dock, however, this
was remedied. "A baby is a ticket"
was the rule, n no mother with an
infant was disappointed.
At the gang-plank was Steamboat
Inspector Fred Harr. 81 have been at
many boat excursions" he said, but
never before have I seen such excellent
precautions taken for the safety of
women and children. If things were al.
ways done this way I would soon be
looking for another job"
When the Newark was loosed from
its mooring and swung off into mid
stream the throngs on board gave a
mighty cheer, which was answered by
those on shore.
Accompanying the outing are DR.,
John Rohn and Miss JeEnie Adams n
Miss Betty Leber, nurses of the City
Hospital, to administer to the children
In case they or their mothers are taken
i'll. Aboard the boat, both going n
coming, there will be plenty for the
children to eat and drink. The Raritan
Dairy Company. the Fairfield Dairy
Company, the Attorney Dairy Com
pany, Seller Brothers and Henry F
Backus sent large donations of milk
Bread and rolls were provided by the
Weber Baking Company. Frankfurters
in generous quantities were provided 10y
the c.. M. Bailey Company.
The start for home will be made at 5
p. m., and the Newark should make her
dock three hours later.

OUR Chill CORNER
A JAPANESE LEGEND.

IF you had to guess this little boys
name you would naturally conclude
from the story of his life that MS
pame was Samuel, for his father anu
mother looked upon this only son or
theirs as a gift from heaven in answer
to prayer, and when he grew up he be-
came a priest and lived in a temple.
That certainly does sound like the
story of Samuel. But the divinity whom
this little boys parents worsniped When
they prayed (prostrating themselves on
their foreheads before her carved I'M
age) was the Japanese goddess called
the Thousand-Handed Kwannon God
dess of Mercy. And the name of the
boy was Shodo Shonin.
Shodo Shonin ever in his tiniest boy
hood. as the legend goes. loved nothing
better than to spend hours each day
Norshiping the gods. especially the
Thousand-Handed Kwannon, whose
sacred cave in the mountains he chose
for his retreat as soon as ne was old
enough to become a monk,
One night in midwinter he reamed
that he was called on, a pilgrimage to
a certain distant and very high noun
tain top where. for a sign. he would
fird a sword lying on the ground, The
deep snow and painless wilderness
checked his advance when he tried to
seek this mountain top; but he never
forgot his dream, and some years later,
after much prayer, he set out for the
second time.
After overcoming many hardshlps and
telling many days through the wilder
pa.o {,,pt &c he hal ranaho6 tha foot
of the mountain of his dreams. he found
to his dismay that the way was barred
by a broad torrent rushing over huge
rocks between high, rocky banks. IIe
prayed for help, and 10! on the opposite
bank there suddenly appeared a div
unity of wonderful appearance and size,
The divinity flung two blue and green
snakes across the river, and instantly
a long rainbow-arched bridge was seer
to form itself across the stream. The
moment Shodo Shonin had safely
crossed by it, however, the rainbow
arched bridge, blue and green snakes
and divinity all vanished as mysterious.
ly as they had appeared.
Shodo Shonin found his mountain
top whether he found the sword as
we'll, no one appears to know and
then he came Town the mountain to a
place close to the scene Of this MI
raculous crossing, where he built
shrines and temples to the various
gods, and spent all the remainder of
his long and sanity life.
The place received the name of Mix
ko Mountain of the Suns Brightness),
and from that time was a famous CEN
tire of worship for the whole japanese
nation, much as Mecca has been for
the Mohammedans.
Nearly a thousand years passed by,
but the story of .Shodo Shonin's mi
raculous crossing was never forgotten
and when at last the emperors of ia
pan chose Nikko as the imperial bury
ing place, they commanded that a rain
bow-arched bridge should be bull
spanning the precious spot so thai
they might cross by It on the occasion
The Newark star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1909, 1909-08-23

of their annual pilgrimage to worship
at the tombs of their ancestors.
AS the Japanese believe their emper-
ors to be descended from the gods,
they now began to revere this spot as
sacred in a double sense, first because,
according to the legend, 1t was the
scene of the wonderful experience of
Shodo Shonin. and also because of the
rainbow-arched bridge being kept sa-
cred to the use of a god-that is, the
emperor himself.
Centuries passed, and ever more and
more sacred to the use of the emperor
alone remained the rainbow-arched
bridge-so sacred that the COMMON
people. even II they had not been for
hidden under pain of death to touch

any practical or ornamental use. The
mineralogist who first learns to make
them large enough for mounting in

within his grasp. Moisson, a Partisan
mlneralogist, is toiling to enlarge his
tiny artificial stones. which he manu-
features by dissolving carbon in molten
steel at enormous temperatures and
then suddenly chilling the mass until
1t reveals the sparkling gems in more
or less abundance. Rassel of Germany
obtains such sparks from ordinary hard
steels produced under high temperature
and cooled under great pressures, and
another German method of yielding en-
couraging results Is the stirring of melt

rod. After the mass has cooled. and
later dissolved. the residue Is found to
contain the minute gems. Recently |
