4 state chemist in Indiana had reason to
suppose that the soft drinks sold at some
drug stores were being colored with mate
rails injurious to the health. An analysis
showed him that one of the drinks con-
tanned the ingredients of dye. and put
ting it to the test, he succeeded in impart-
ing to a piece of cloth pink hue of COM
parative permanence. He suggests, to the
public that if they do moi, think they are
getting their moneys worth as a beverage,
they will still find the drink serviceable
as a dye. The safe method, which will oc-
cur to antiteetotalers, is to avoid soft
drinks.

brigham Young. Figure stays.

Mrs. George f. King, of Roseyilie
avenue, secretary of the Essex county
committee of the New Jersey State
Federation of Women's Clubs, Is in re-
ceipt of a letter in reply to a com
m~unication sent TO the secretary Of
the United States navy department pro-
testing against the figure of Brigham
Young being placed on the silver serv-
Zee of the battleship Utah, the service
being a.present to the battleship from
the state of Utah.
The letter is the first news TO the
| women concerning the attitude Of the
navy department. 1t was written hy
Beekman Winthrop, assistant secretary
of the navy, and reads:
AS you probably know, h cost Of
a silver service presented a battieehip
by the State after which 1t is named
is usually betrayed by a State appro-
priation or by public subscription. and
for this reason the department hal cor
sistently refused to interfere With or
attempt TO dictate the inscriptions or
engravings to be placed thereon. The
design of the silver service for the
Utah is a matter in which the people
of that State are directly interested.
and it is the opinion of the depart
ment that it would be injudicious q
~inadvisable to raise any question IN
connection with the design to be placed
thereon"
Mrs. King stated today that the Es-
sex county committee is only one of
the many women's organizations that
have sent a similar protest. but at
tributes the prompt reply to the letter
from the Essex county committee to
the fact that this communication was
sent early, and voiced the protest Of
the committee as a whole, and did not
have to wait to be signed by indi-
vidual members. Mrs. King declared
that she is bitterly disappointed, az
every other club woman will Justly be.
that no action is TO be taken by the
navy department.

South Orange Official Tells Of
Offer After Heated Meeting

In support of his sensational state

In support Of his sensational state
ment made at the meeting OF
the South Orange Village Board
of Trustees last night, when
he charged former Trustee Ed
gar NJ. Taylor with attempting to bride
Engineer Ira T. Redfern, Village Clerk

today declared that Redfern himself
had told the board members of the al
legged offer made by Taylor last Friday

Of a $500 lot was made by Taylor to
Engineer Redfern providing the latter

street extension" said Fftzsimmons
today. when Mr.. Taylor made the
inducement Mr.. Redfern's brother,
John, Eugene c. Hughes and George
Hughes were present and heard him,
the clerk added.
Not in many years did the South
Orange officials hold such a heated
meeting. The lie was passed, and in
addition to Mr.. Fftzsimmons's bribery
charge, Trustee John #. McDonough
addressed Mr.. Taylor as an Internal
liar. The trustee charged McDonough
and E1tZSimmo with having con
cocted a scheme whereby they with
another property-owner engineered a
scheme to benefit property which they
are personally benefited.
The charges were mad against for
mel Trustee Taylor as q result of a
statement given out by him In which
he is said to have inferred that Trustee
McDonough, who is chairman of the
street committee, Inc Clerk Fitzsim-
mons had engineered a scheme to have
the villal GARD put through an or
dinance extending a street IN order to
personally benefit themselves and in
jure his property. The street in ques-
ton is Fairview avenue Despite the
objections raised by Mr.. Taylor. who
was represented by Nathan C. Horton,
the ordinance was passed on final
reading.

Mr.. Roeder referred to the excellent
results realized by he people of Or
ange in their municipal water system
and lighting plant. He advised the
people to look into the proposition care
fully and impartially, in order to ascer-
tain whether the company was en-
deavoring to unload a bad proposition
on the community or whether it could
be acquired and maintained by the
town to the economic advantage Of the
people.
Engineer Potter gave some carefully

participated in the discussion, and
Mahfon S. Drake, Mr.. Jacob and Mr..
Boerger also questioned the engineer
on many questions to the proposition.
Mr.. Drake placed himself emphatically
on record as opposed to the municipal
purchase of the plant.

the assessments on the grading, curb
ing and paving of Clinton avenue west

Chief G~ilhooley, Of the park police,
refused to discuss the case, and re-
ferred questioners to Alonzo Church,
secretary of the Park Commission. Mr..
Church said that the dog In question
this morning bit an employee of the
Park Commission In the arm, and that
the man vas treated at the City Hos
pital.
When DR.. Ungaro reached home,
after making his morning calls, he
was told by those who had witnessed
the tragedy that a policeman had
chased his dog, valued at $175. through
the streets n had shot 1t in the side

a rope In front Of the house and
dragged 1t to the next corner. DR..
Ungaro's mother, who is said TO hav
witnessed the death of the dog, which
was a favorite in the household, was
hysterical when he arrived. A trail of
blood through the street and a pool in

ing. The physician visited the Office OF
the park police force. but obtained no
satisfaction from the sergeant in
charge. Later he Is said to have
learned the name of the policeman who
Is said to have shot the dog from Mr..

out a collar. DR.. Ungaro insists that
his dog wore a collar inscribed plainly
with his name and address. He de-
clares he will bring suit at once.

WESTON ADVISES WOMEN
AND GIRLS TO WALK MORE,

That women should stop riding SO
much in trolley cars and walk instead,
and all girls give up their beaux II the

cites, a practise. he declared, was
worse than the demon rum, was the
advice given by Edward Payson Wes-
ton, the walker, al a lecture last night
In the Park Avenue M. p. Church, East
Orange.
Weston declared walking vas the
easiest, cheapest. simplest and most
beneficial of all exercises, and he be-
lieved riding a bicycle was about as
good as riding q ~broomstick, and criti-
cized the use Of rubber heels, saying
they were bad for the feet, as were
rubbers. He was particularly evere
in denouncing the use of cigarettes,
saying IL a man insisted on smoking
he should puff on a good cigar.
The walker said 1t was forty years
since he left off newspaper work and
started professional walking. He
promised his mother before she died
that he would never do any profess
sional walking on the Sabbath, and one
year, while In Paris without a penny
in his pockets, he vas offered 1880 for
an eight-day walk. starting on a Sum
day. but he kept his word to his
mother. The next year. however, he
made about s21, 900. He eats but two
meals a day while on walks.
