PRINCETON YOUTH
IS SIOWAWAY ON
GERMAN STEAMER
Sewall F. Camp, of WATERFOWL,
N. Y. Discovered on Liners
Arrival in England.

PRINCETON, March 2S.-An the
students at the university today are
discussing the strange case of Eewall
F. Camp. who left college mysteriously
last Tuesday, and who, according to
advioes received today, was discovered
as a stovaway on the arrival at
Plymouth, England. of the Kron-
prinzessin Cecilie today.
Camp is the son of a banker at
WATERFOWL, N. y. He appeared to be
much depressed last Tuesday and when
he left the college with a suitcase he
refused to tell any of his chums where
he was going.
When he didn't appear all last week
there was considerable alarm. Inquir-
les at the railroad station showed that
he did not board the train there. For
several days a search was made, but
he disappeared as completely as &c he
had been swallowed up by the earth.
In the meagre news contained in the
dispatches from Plymouth it Is stated
that the young man told the ships
officers that he had run away from
college owing to a disagreement with
his father. He said that he slowed
himself away when the steamer was at
the Hoboken pier.
Young Camp will be returned to this
country on the first steamer out from
C%herbourg.

PLAN FOR HEALTH
BOARD QUARTERS
SUITS CHANDLER
Agrees with Alderman That De-
partment Should Have Home
of Its Own.

The contemplated plan of some of the
members of the Common Council to
reserve the piece of property at Will
lam. Plane and Arlington streets, or
| ignally purchased for a fire headquar-
ters, for a headquarters for the Board
of Health, to include a city dispensary
and also for a central ambulance sta
ton, meets with the approval of some
OF the health officials.
Health officer David D.. Chandler,
when asked about the suggestion to-
day, said that while he had not seen
the location, yet he was very much i'm
pressed with the idea, as it was some
thing that the city should have, as the
present conditions under which the
health department was working are
entirely inadequate to meet the de-
mands.
I'VE should have a large building,
said Mr.. Chandler, where we could
have the City Dispensary. the head
quarters of the board and a central
ambulance station, n / am pleased to
hear that such a plan is likely to be
advocated by the aldermen.
II do not remember the place indi-
Gated, but, generally speaking, it seems
like a good location, away from the
noise of Broad street. yet within easy
reach of that t~horoughfare. | intend
to look the property over today.
II may say that the City Dispensary,
located in the Centre Market, is not
in the right place for there is not
enough room for our clinics, which
have more than doubled within the last
two years.
DR.. H. j. F. Wallhauser, who is presl-
dent of the city clinics, said he was
glad to neal that there was a posi-
bility of a building being erected for
the City Dispensary. as the present
quarters in the Centre Market build
ing was by far too small to permit of
treating the large number of people
who call there every week for treat
ment, and especially for minor opera
tions, which demand careful attention.
"But as to the location said DIR. Wall
hauser, that Is a different question,
as I think that if anything is going to
be done it should be carefully consid-
cred, SO as TO get the location where
it would be central from all sections oil
the city. On account of our rapid
growth, what might ave been central
a few years ago would not do now.
"a conference of all those interested
should be held" he added. before any
thing is definitely decided upon

MAY TRANSFER
WATER POWER
SITES TO STATES
Senate Bill Provides for Ma
ti0nal Government Releasing
Control.

WASHINGTON, March 2S. - The
movement for the transfer of water
power sites from the national govern
ment to the several States and Terri
tories, took concrete shape today when
Senator Smoot introduced a bill for
that purpose.
Contrary to general expectation, the
bill would provide for the leasing of
power sites by the States and would
not permit their sale under any con-
ditions. 1t would provide for transfer
to a state whenever it was shown to
the satisfaction of the secretary of the
interior that any tract of Ian was
chiefly valuable as q power site. Only
one reservation would be made and
that would be that the transfer should
not interfere with prospecting or the
development Of mineral resources.
The and would be conveyed on the
express understanding that the acquir-
ing State should not ALLEVIATE the fee
simple title but should retain 1t for
water power purposes, granting h use
only for specific periods of time.
Other conditions of the bill are:
That the land shall be devoted by the
lessee only to the development of
water power; that the State shall re-
serve the right to Ak charges by power
companies for each ten year period;
that no monopoly shall be permitted
to lessees under the law. The last Sec
tor would provide for the forfeiture of
the land by the States in case of any
disposition OF the land contrary to the
provisions Of the proposed law.

BANK WINS SUIT
FOR $1,000 FROM
T. B. MILLER co.
Chancellor Stevens Decides Case
Growing Out of Bankruptcy
of Contractor.

With the simple and direct statement
IT think the money belongs to the
bank Nice-Chancellor Stevens con-
cludes an opinion received by former
Judge Guild today, ending the dispute
between the First National Bank and
the 7. b. Miller Company, both Of
summit, over the possession of 81, 2O9. So,
final payment due Seaman L. Wright,
q bankrupt contractor of Summit, for
the erection of the handsome home of
Mrs. Florence ". Faitoute on the
Edgewood road.
The bank claimed the money on a
note for 81, 200 by Miller, which was Sc
cured by the balance due from the
work on the Faitoute place. The Miller
Company also claimed the money by
reason of a mechanics lien, based ON
q claim for 81, 635.35 worth of material
used by Wright on the building. and
which they furnished. The assignment
by Wright to the bank of his right to
the money bears date September IS,
1907, while the notice served on the
owner by the Miller Company is dated
December s, 1907.
G AT the time of the trial in the local
chancery chambers the testimony was
long and contradictory. Mr.. Guild, for
tho bank. claimed that the material
actually used in the Faitoute home
had been paid by Wright with a check
for s., 800, which bore the words ION
F'aitoute house The Miller Company
acknowledged receiving the check, but
said it was applied to a general account
of Wright that amounted to more than
/, 1000, and protested, through it's wit
nesecs. never to have noticed the speci-
fication.
The court, however, evidently be-
lieved the testimony of Mrs. Helm,
Wright's bookkeeper. The latter said
that when the note came up for re-
newal the bank asked for further
security. She offered the account due
on the Faitoute home. This was re-
fused, unless the Miller claim was first
paid. AS she thought 5 1880 would
square this account, she made out the
81. 500 check, and at the request of the
bank entered on it the words ION
Faitoute home" Then the bank re-
newed the note.
AS to a statement of Wright's, Of
fered by Miller, that on December IL,
1907. there was due on the Faitoute
work 81, 542. %, the our says that in
its opinoin lis statement WAS made
under strong pressure by the material
men, in order to allow Wright to secure
further credit.
AS regards a suit by the Miller Com
pany against Wright's assignee, in
which the Jury found for Miller, the
court dismisses this fact with h state
ment that the case was not carefully
prepared. and say the judgment cannot
act as an estoppel against the bank, as
it's right had vested five months before
the commencement of the suit.

AUTO PARTY SAVED
FROM DEATH BY
DRIVERS COURAGE
James Hart Dashes Machine to
Safety in Front of
Train.

The nerve and presence of mind of
James Hart averted a disastrous auto
accident yesterday at the Lyons farms
crossing of the Lehigh Valley railroad
Lin North Elizabeth. While the tonneau
of the automobile which he was driv-
ing with a party of five others was be-
ing crushed between freight cars he
took a desperate chance and dashed to
safety in front of a rapidly moving
freight train which was all but upon
him.
The party consisted of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hart and their 5-year-old grandson,
James Hart, of 232 Washington street;
William Martin, of the same address,
and Mr.. and Mrs. William Robinson,
of 1888 Bergen street. With a number
of other vehicles the auto had been
held up at the crossing for a milk
Etrain which was at the milk depot.
Mr.. Harris car was the last in the
waiting line. and when the gates were
raised, the train having been cut and
separated for the purpose of allowing
the traffic to cross the tracks, he start
ed to follow, When in the middle OF
the tracks a flagman shouted to him

was bearing down on his party on the
west-bound tracks. Speedily reversing
he tried to back between the milk cars,
but the milk train was closing together.
The tonneau of his machine was being
crushed and the party threatened with
a horrible death when Mr.. Hart put on
all speed. His auto seemed to mount
the pilot of the fast freight passing so
close that the steam and water from
its cylinders wet the rear of his ma
chine.
The crowd. which had heard the cries
of the hagman. cheered as the machine
shot in front of the train to safety.
The members of the party were para
lyzed with fear, and on her arrival
at home Mrs. Hart tainted, and she is
still suffering from the shock. Mrs.
Robinson was bruised on the neck
when the cars were crushing the auto,
but is not seriously hurt.

in the face of grave danger, Is a

STAR RESULTS WIN
RENEWALS OF BIG
ADVERTISEMENTS
Newark Firms Testify to What
the Columns of This Paper
Have Done.

Certifying to the high regard in which
the STAR is held as an advertising
medium, letters with contract re-
newals continue to flow into the Office.
The added popularity of the paper, to-
gether with the constantly increasing
circulation among the growing popu-
lace, is making the STAR columns
necessary for enterprising merchants.
Two letters, each with enclosed con
tracts for 800 lines, are reproduced
today. They are from the Newark
Cut Glass Company and Frank Bene-
dict. a well-known coal dealer.
j. Z. Stegner, in writing for the
Newark Cut Glass o pany, says:
Enclosed find contract for 1900
lines. We are, of course, satisfied with
results from the STAR"
Mr.. Benedict writes:
owing to the good results l have
obtained through advertising in your
paper for the past six months, / here
with enclose contract for 1900 lines"
The arrival of contract after con-
tract is the natural result of system
attic efforts Of the management to
! make his newspaper OF the greatest
value TO advertisers. The standards OF
quality and accuracy set in the news
columns have caused readers to realize
that the same standards apply to the

100000 GAS
EARNINGS RAISE
UNDER SOC RATE
Companies, However, Figure
Quite Differently from Pub
lie Service Board.

NEW YORK. March 2s.-Eighty-
cent gas in New York city seems to
have beer profitable during the past
year to the gas companies, according
to a statement just issued by the
Public Service Commission. Despite
the gloomy forecasts of the gas men
when the courts compelled them to
reduce their prices, the Consolidated
Gas Company appears to have made
nearly SO, 400, 600 more in 1909 than 1t
did in 1908. The company's net profits
last year are given by the Public Serv-
ice Commission as $,5S0,000.
Oficers of the gas company, when
shown the Public Service Commits
sion's optimistic statement, declared
that the figures had been juggled by
the commissions statistician. They
did not allege. however, that so sent
gas has not been adequately profitable.
Robert A. Carter, vice-president of the
Consolidated. said today in commenting
upon the figures of the Public Service
Commission.
1.-THE statement purports to show the
results of the operation of the gas
companies with gas at so cents, but it
includes all the derived by the
Consolidated Company from its hold
ings of the stocks, bonds and obliga-
lions of the electric and suburban
companies, amounting to more thar
81, 900, 900, and it will therefore be seen
that his is entirely misleading.
IF / were not familiar with the mat
tiers referred to In the statement given
out by the statistician of the Public
Service Commission. / would be com
pletely misled by 1t. The statistician
of the commission overstates, for ex-
ample. by $500, 600. 900 cubic feet, the
amount of gas furnished by the Con
solidated system to the citizens of New
York and to the city government, he
having included in such sales the gas
sold between the companies them
selves.
He has similarly overstated the
mount paid for the gas furnished 70
the public and the city departments.
and has further inflated the revenue
from gas sales by including therein
the proceeds of the sale of residual
products to the extent of nearly 81, 900,-
000.'
There are many discrepancies in the
figures given by the Public Service
COMMISSIONS statistician, due probably
to the fact that the companies have not
filed their regular annual reports for
1902" said Mr.. Carter in conclusion. ut
was only two or three days ago that
printed forms were given out by the
Public Service Commission on which
such reports are to be made between
now April 80. At the commission's
request a brief and incomplete sum
mary of the operations for the year
1909 mas been filed in the form pre-
scribed by the commission, n 1t is
on that incomplete summary that the
statistician has probably based his
figures"
