know what a vast amount of good is
done at this hospital. Our reports to-
night will astonish the people, who have
no idea of our great work. There were
5000 people under clinical treatment in
six months, for instance"
Mr.. Krimke ridiculed the story that
there would be any o~usting of the
women of the directorate tonight. say
ing that they voluntarily resigned sew
eral months ago and that there was
nothing but the most kindly of feeling
for the old officials.
Those who will be installed. together
with President krimke, are: Vice
president. Joseph Fisch; recording Sec
rotary, Edward Prokocimer; treasurer,
Adolph Hollander. This is the full list

WA7ER-SNAKE BILL
TO Be PASSED BY
SENATE TONIGHT


York city-vicious because it sells wa
ter for s65 a million gallons when the
consuming community, Staten Island,
can get it's supply for $26.f0 per million
gallons.
The McCran bill has been mutilated
beyond recognition. 1t has not been
amended. 1t is a subterfuge. In reali-
ty it is a substitute bill drawn by the
water people themselves for the pur-
pose of deceiving the public. Nothing
of the original bill remains, except the
last clause, which reads: This bill
shall take effect Immediately"
The trainers did not have the COM
mon decency to call it a substitute, but
tried to hoodwink the people by mis-
calling it an amendment. The Senate
will discover that the House will not
show its acquiescence in the ~diabolical
deal.
The amended bill does not conserve
the States water. 1t ratifies the d.
version. The amendment provides that
the company shall pay $1,000 a year
for twenty years for 10000, 900 gallons
of water. 1t will cost more than that
amount for the State to see to it that
the company does not exceed the speci-
fled allowance. There is a State law
which provides that a municipality
that diverts water in excess of its
present amount must pay to the State
not less than 81 nor more than $40 per
zach million gallons. If the water
company was charged the same as the
municipality 1t you'd pay $3.50 per
year instead of 81 900. Discrimination
favorable to the corporations such as
this is characteristic of the present
Legislature.
The comfy" joke in the amendment
Is most amusing. 1t was set up by he
water people as an excuse for the exist
ence of the amendment. The Governor
and Legislature of New York have
made no request for water from New
Jersey. The truth is they don't need it.
According to the bill, the Governor Of
the Empire State can apply to the Gov
ernor of New Jersey for water, or he
could give others permission so to do.
That favor woul not be hard for the
water company to get, when it was
influential enough to get President
Taft, Secretary Knox and United
States Senator Root to request water
from New Jersey on the deceptive
theory that the Notifications on Staten
Island were in danger.
Local opposition to the amended bill
is most pronounced, because of the stu
alton in Belleville. The city of Newark
owns the wells there and If the bill be-
comes q law the water could
divert that water. Newark does not
need the water in the Belleville wells
at h present time, but it may in the
future. The city would then be COM
PEELED to pay the company. The injus-
tice of the bill reeks in its every clause.
1t grants a monopolistic franchise that
will enrich a few men. The ~pretense
that the water is needed on Staten
Island Is without foundation. Assem-
blyman Thomas #. McCran, author of
the original bill. has proof of that. It
still remains to be seen whether the
powerful influence" at Trenton is
strong enough to carry out the, water
steal.

were entitled to all the wealth which
the franchise to be a corporation con-
ferred and have not only issued bonds

done without protest.

IF there be value, as teere unques

ness, granted by the State, the state
must retain that value and allow to the

arrested Saturday on a warrant secured
from Justice of the Peace Miller, was
arraigned in the Fourth Precinct Court

the action of the grand jury.

clared $22 from his trousers pocket.
He complained to the justice. The ar
rest followed.
Judge Herr was not satisfied with
the varying statements of the COM
plainant and was disposed to discharge
Pechowitz. He compromised by parol-
ing him for the action of the. grand
jury.

STUDIO ROMANCE TAKES
GIRL TO AFRICA AS BRIDE.
Young Artist to Become Wife OF
Wealthy Importer.

A pretty romance of the studios is
being rushed to its logical conclusion
here in Newark by the pressure which
dull prosaic business interests in far
off British West Africa are exerting
. When, in a few days, William Borne
mann, who has been visiting at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Gerhard, par
ents of his fiance, Miss Amelia c. Ger
hard. sails back to Africa he will be
accompanied by his bride. The en-
gagement was announced yesterday,
sooner than would otherwise have been
the case. because Mr.. Bornemann, who
is a wealthy importer and exporter, has
been imperatively called home.
The Gerhard home, at SO Seymour
avenue, was in a hustle of preparation
today. While admitting that the we'd
ding was to be solemnized in a very
few days. that there was a wide diff
1rence in the ages of the bride and
Fbridegroom-elect and that the omance
was a most unusual one, Mrs. Gerhard
refused to go into details
1t is, however, understood that Miss
Gerhard, although but twenty years Of
age, is an artist of positive talent and
that she met Bornemann in a New
York studio. There is no disposition
on the part of anyone who knows the
facts to deny that it was a case of love
at first sight; that Miss Gerhard was
--practically sentenced to life in Africa
essn the spot, because that fact has be-
sccome too widely known among the
4 friends of the couple.
Mrs. Gerhard would not say what
day had been set for the wedding, but
admitted that it would take place in
the very near future. Miss Gerhard
isn't depressed a bit by the prospect Of
a honeymoon trip many thousand miles
in length and the attendant certainty
that she will not see her home in New
ark again for years. She has had time
since the studio episode to prepare her
self for that. Among other bits of in
formation which was refused at the
Gerhard house was the age of the
bridegroom-to-be.

AN APPEAL TO new JERSEYS
SENATORS AND ASSEMBLYMEN

THERE are before you two propositions which, If they are mol sumn1a-
4 rly defeated in the three business days that have been decreed as re-
naming of the present session, will rand the me- who make their nac
zen possible as guilty of treason or worse.
The vicious Lee trolley grab bill is ready for third reading IN the SEN
ate, and if passed there must go back to the House for final consideration.
The McCran anti water diversion bill has been practically killed IN
Senate committee, and a bill reported out that If enacted would result IN
spoiation of the States water supply.
The Lee bill is the product VI he fertile brams OF tine attorney A'
the Public Service Corporation.
It's tniquiies re fully exposed. 1t aims to overthrow wise
fetal laws that have existedsfor seventeen years. Tt is to enable tn Pue-
lie Service Corporation to override rights m wishes OF property N
AM lay railway tracks without consent fa butting owners. ~
1t is the most brazen display Of arrogance and power o n h part OF a
corporation which this tate has ever witnessed. t.
The McCran bill a designed to protect State waters. The amend
ments written by the Hudson County Water Company serve the interests
IF a private concern. For days the State has been witness to the humif-
atng spectacle of a Senate complacenty marking time, while the repre-
sentatives of the Hudson County Water Company dictated terms.
A vote for the Lee bill is a vote to destroy the fundamental principle ofa
representative government. 49,
A vote for amendment of the McCran bill is a vote to destroy the
conservatio policy t. which the State is committed and to pawn the credit
of New Jersey in Wall street.
Your subsrvency to the lobbyists of the trolley trust and thu water
snake will be the only excuse you can offer for voting for either of these
propositions.
Senator's! Assemb1ymen! You promised and swore that you would
faithfully and impartiany do your duty, and that you would safeguard
the interests Of the State and live Up to the reauhements OF the oh1eesy 20
have assumed. Do you consider a vote for the Lee bill OF a vote 10
emascuate the McCran bill is keeping faith with the people?

poration legislation considered at Tren-
ton for years.
There are several reasons why sus-
picion attaches to the motives of GER
tain law-makers at Trenton. If there
was nothing dishonest about the affair
why was there such intriguing behind
closed doors? Why were the trolley
lobbyists so flush with their money at
Trenton? The inside history of the

ably make reading as sensational as
that of the water grab dealings when
that, too, is exposed.
