port most satisfactory yields. Sew
eral crops of three tons per acre have
been cut The grain on the project
is also looking very thrifty. The
pumping tract south Of Burley has
developed wonderfully this year and
bears abundant evidence of its
great richness and its future possib-

to handle the grain, hay and potato
crops.

saw the necessity for such an inyen-

A tap is made in the ditch and the
hose is connected at this point and ex-

An eyel1t is inserted every 30 inches
or for each corrugation. The water
flows into the hose, out through the
eyelits into the corrugations. The
water will almost take care Of itself
after it is properly regulated. The
land will not wash Several people
on the tracts are now using this in

Besides Mr.. Alexander,
the other democratic nominees are
John c. Rice and J. H. Hawley,
whose nominations have been filed. |
Il is not believed now that there will
be any further nominations for this
office on the part of either of the two
leading parties.
The three-cornered gubernatorial
fight thus made certain on the part
of the democrats. though the fight
bids fair to be the most friendly and
probably unexciting, blasts the
scheme engineered by the democratic
state central committee to keep down
the candidates. by elimination and
by the process of assignment to var
ious sections of the state of the diff
ferent candidates. There was a par
tial agreement among leading poll
ticians of the north that it would
strengthen the ticket in that section
of the state, but even at that there
was no suggestion as to which two
it should be- The opportunity pre-
sented by this claim was at once
recognized by the state committee,
which at once suggested that the two
candidates to be selected from the
north should be attorney general and
superintendent of schools. This was
done because the state committee i'm
framing its ticket had good use g.
make of the allotment of the other
two members, namely, secretary OF
state and governor The suggestion
made by the state committee was sat-
isfactory to the north, because the
north had no demands to make. Tho
announcement was then changed IN
the south to make it appear that tho
north was demanding attorney gen
eral and superintendent OF schools.
This is one of the very good illus
trations Of how machine politics arr
played and how political demands
are created, and how they grow.
From the suggestion made in th'
north that two nominees from tn
state land board from the nortl
, would strengthen the ticket, Their
easily and readily grew the demand
that was represented to come fror
the north for the nominations. for al
torney and school superintendent.

BOLD BURGLAR EXISTED
IN GINA TON ONLY
Alice Certainly Had Her Aunt, Policemen and Reporters Fooled
Until She Played Neat Trick Once Too Often
and Was Arrested.

The police Of the Fourth Precinct
this afternoon arrested Alice McLaugh-
lin. of 476 South Orange avenue. who
confessed to staging several attempts
at robbery in the home Of her aunt,
Mrs. Mary Powell.
Alice is a ~14-year-old girl, who is well
along on HI road to success, either as a
writer of sensational fiction or as a
highly emotional" actress. Twice
within the past five days she has put
her aged aunt into a state bordering on
nervous collapse. had the police squad
of a whole precinct running around in
circles and. more than that. succeeded
in fooling a galaxy of blase and over
sophisticated reporters. A burglar
story. which the girl worked out in
every detail, except that she couldn't
supply the burglar, furnished her with
her opportunity to break into fame and
print.
Alice resides with her aunt, Mrs.
Mary Poyers, at 476 South Or
ange avenue. Last Friday afternoon
Mrs. Powers returned to her home to
find everything topsy-turvy. Bureau
drawers were thrown open and their
contents scattered over the floors, clos
cts were stripped of everything they
contained and the family silver was
neatly, but securely, tied up in q pillow
case n lay in the hallway.
Alice poured into her aunt's startled
ears a most narrowing tale. She had
entered the apartment, she said, and
found a man, tall, young, well-dressed
lin fact, a perfect Rallies type-most
methodically packing up an unbeliev>
able quantity Of the Powers family
holdings. Alice hesitated not a mo-
ment, but sprang at the intruder. and
Aher youthful strength. augmented by
a parasol, soon put the burglar to rout.
Alice Was Realistic.
Alice shed real tears as she modestly
outlined to her aunt the part she had
played In the protection Of her home.
and as un~disputable proof Of her story
showed Mrs. Powers her broken para

POLICE PRAISED
FOR OPPOSITION
TO FIGHT FILMS
Departments Open Antagonism
to Pictures Has Practically
Barred Them from Newark.

Members of the Police Board and
Chief Corbitt were congratulated on all
sides today for their positive stand
against the exhibition in this city of
the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures.
which had been planned for next Satur-
day at the New Auditorium.
Although there is a possibility that
the license committee of the Common
Council. at its meeting this afternoon.
may decide to issue a permit for the
show, the promoters will not likely fly
in the face Of the opposition of the
police department, as expressed by the
Police Board and Chief Corbitt. The
announced determination of the police
to prevent the exhibition Is likely to
have more weight with the promoters
than any permit the license COMMITTEES
may issue.
The hue n cry against h pictures
had its weight with the Police Board.
1t has been held that the pictures are
brutalizing In the extreme; in fact.
worse than the fight itself. The spec
tacle Of two big men battling with one
another n a big black man battertng
down a white man is not conducive to
law and order, say those who are OPP
posed to the exhibition.
A prize fight is strictly prohibited by
the laws of this State. and a ~reproduc-
ton Of the most vicious fight of the
decade is held to be a DIRECT violation
Of the spirit Of the law which prohibits
fights.
1t was also declared today that there
is little likelihood of the pictures being
shown al any of the theatres. There
the films would be thrown before wom-
en- and children, There also is the ever
present danger of a race fight. There
are many negroes in Newark and
vicinity and 1t would take but a word
to precipitate a row of serious conse-
~quences.
Promoters, 1t is declared, are not
over-anxious to put on the pictures,
realizing the delicacy of the situation
They are also skeptical of the drawing
powers, as interest in the big fight has
waned considerably and many have
seen the pictures al New York and
Coney Island.

THOMAS A. EDISON
BIDS MUNICIPALITY
TO BUILD HOMES
Tells Milwaukee Investigator
His City Has Great Opportun-
ity to Help Workingmen.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2s.-"My message
to Milwaukee is that hers is a great
opportunity"
In these words Thomas A. Edison.
the inventor, summed up last night his
belief in the new policy of municipal
ownership of land and dwellings advo-
Gated by the Socialist administration of
Milwaukee.
"The city can buy the land, sub
dfvide and improve with streets ana
parks" continued Mr.. Edison. TT can
build wholesome, comfortable houses
with all modern c~onveniences, and can
put them on the market on a large scale
at a cost not to exceed $500 each.
AT these figures the dollar-a-day
man can own his own home. The city
can make II. certain that he will. IL
can borrow money for 5 per cent. and
sell the houses on installments at say
~one-fourth what these working people
are now paying in rents. In this wav
the city expends nothing and the work.
ing people will expend only one-fourth.
what they are now paying for unsani-
tary. uncomfortable and wretched
places of residence
Mr.. Edison was speaking to Walter
Thomas Mills, special commissioner In
municipal industrial enterprises for
Milwaukee, who visited him last night
at his laboratory in West Orange.
Commissioner Mills sails for Europe to-
day to investigate special phases OF
municipal ownership abroad.

PEACEMAKER BEATEN FOR
INTERFERING IN FIGHT.

Claiming that she would make a
charge of assault and battery against
the boy who knocked her son uncon-
%scious, Mrs. Julia Dheise today de-
clared she knows who her sons as
sailant was. Twelve-year-old Frank
Dheise, of IS Garrison street. was try
ing to separate two of his companions.
who were fighting at Niagara and
Bremen streets last night. An older
boy, whose name he does not know
started to pummel young Dheise for
interfering.
The lads right eye was discolored
and closed, his jaws swollen, and ne
was knocked unconscious. A friend
took the lad to a nearby store and tele-
phoned for the City Hospital ambu-
lance. When 1t arrived Louis Dheise,
a brother Of the injured lad, refused
to allow Frank to be taken to the hos
pital. The ambulance tool the boy
home, and the lad is still forced to
stay indoors as a result Of the beat
ing he received.
