WILL GO AFTER
SPEED F|ENDS

Atlantic City, Aug. 8.-Struck by a
speeding automobile on the Meadow
Boulevard today, a valuable horse,
owned by Charles M. Kesler, of Alb
secon, was instantly killed, while the
owner narrowly escaped serious in
jury. The driver of the automobile,
after ascertaining that none of the
occupants of the wagon had been in
Jured, put on full speed and was lost
to view before Kesler could see the
number of the car.
Half score of horses have been
killed on the Boulevard this present
season and this latest accident has
impelled the owners of horses in the
mainland towns to take steps toward
the formation of an organization to
prosecute all speed maniacs. The
State authorities will be asked to take
part in this crusade, which will have
as its object the strict enforcement
of the speed laws in the neighboring
towns of the resort.

WILSON LEADS
FOR PRESIDENT

Washington, D. c., Aug. Slower
nor Woodrow Wilson is the leading
choice for the Presidency in 1912,
among the Democratic Senators and
representatives in Congress. A can
vass OF the members now in Washing
ton, exclusive of the 81 absentees and
81 who declined to express a prefer
ence, resulted in an expression from
165 of the 267 Democrats in Congress.
OF these, 45 are unequivocally for
Wilson.
The Senators and Representatives
at present in the city were asked to
name their preference and that of
their constituents, so far as they could
speak for their constituents, and of
the 15S positive expressions given, the
possible candidates ranked as fol-
lows:
Governor Wilson, of New Jersey, As.
Governor Harmon, of Ohio, So.
Speaker Champ Clark, of Missouri,
26.
Oscar w. Underwood, of Alabama,
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee and majority leader
of the House, II.
Governor Foss, of Massachusetts, 2.
Fifty-one Senators and Representa-
tives declined to express themselves
IN any way on the matter.
For former Governor Folk, of Mis-
souri,, IA expressed preference, but
these were the membes of the Mis-
souri, delegation, which was COM
mitted to Folk in the Senatorial con-
vention at the time they were trying
to eliminate Folk as candidate for the
Senate by handing him gold brick
of the promise that they would be for
him for President. One-half of these
men are for Clark, and another half
for Underwood.
Goernor Marshall, of Indiana, has
IA votes to his credit. II

Vineland, N. j., Aug. SIN connec-
bration Council this morning passed
resolution that white and green
hereafter will be the city's official
colors, the white to represent the
temperance principles on which the
town was founded and the green the
verdure of the landscape.
Fifteen thousand persons cheered
the announcement that Vineland was
80 years old at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, and in honor of this the greatest
parade in the history of the place
swung into line, headed by jennings
Band, of Camden. The pageant repre-
sented the social, industrial, fraternal
and religious progress of half CEN

COWS and milkmaids, cement block
makers showed their presses at work,
paperhangers piled their trade and a
merchant exhibited bed on wheels
containing two sets of triplets. In
the afternoon there were balloon as
tensions in Lands Park, and in the
evening historical meeting was held

FREEHOLDERS
MEET TO-DAY
Important Session This Aug
ust Meeting
BIDS FOR new ROAD
The Regular Meeting of the Board
at County Building is Of Much
Importance.

The Board of Chosen Freehoders is
in session to-day at the County Build
ing and the meeting is more i'm
portant than the average mid summer
gathering.
Bids are received to-day for the
building of the proposed improved
State road from Bridgeton to Deerfeld
and from that point on to Shiloh.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the Shiloh turnpike will also
make report and this is important.
All of the members of the Board
were present when Director Ogden
took the chair this morning and
directed the clerk to call the roll.
There was big batch of bills upon
the Clerks desk when the business of
the moining was taken up, including
the months expenditures of the
County Hospital for the Insane, the
County Aims House and the general
bills of the county. 1t may be sug-
gested here that this growing county
demanding much more all the time
and expenses necessarily increase with
the demands of the psople, but the
Board of Freeholders here is con-
servative and unusually careful, and
the rest is that the affairs of this
county are far more economically
administered than any county of its
class in the State
The payment OF the bills approved
by the Finance Committee required
but short time and several com
mittses reported routine affairs.
After the opening detail of the
Board, the road committee opened
bids for the State road from Bridgeton
to Deerfeld. There were a number
of bids as follows:
Sutton and Corson, Ocean City. $685.
91O.3O.
Richmond and Craig, Cedarville,
$16,9S61O.
JOS. S. Fisher, Clayton, $2O,SO0.

phia, $25.743.11.

struction Co., Bristol, Pa, $21,31S.4O.

SEWAGE PLANT
IN SEPTEMBER
Plant Rapidly Nearing It's
Completion
MACHINERY lQ
MACHINERY IS IN
Contractor is Now Working to a
Great Advantage Upon the Dis
posal Enterprise.

Commissioner of Public Works,
Timothy Woodruff, is of the opinion
that operation in the sewage disposal
plants will commence about Septem-
ber 1st next.
The sewers are all completed and
ready to connect with the disposal
reservoirs as soon as they shall be
equipped with all the pumping and
reducing machinery.
The plant on the west side of the
creek below the Crescent Gas Fix
cure works, is receiving the finishing
touches of construction.
The main receptacle for the sewage
is a concrete basin, or rather two
basins, as it is divided into two parts,
each feet by 70 feet in the clear,
| with solid concrete walls 1S inches
| thick and solid concrete floor a foot
| thick, and covered over with concrete
of equal thickness with the floor.
| This basin is some IL feet deep; at
the eastern end is the reducer which
is also of solid concrete construction,
&c by IL feet.
The sewage rushes in at the west
end of the tank and at the eastern end
are the pumps which pump out the
| clear water and pour it into the creek,
| after the sewage has been reduced
and extracted from it.
At the eastern end will be erected
| a brick structure of the white PEN
Bryn bricks, in which will be housed
the engines and pumps.
The plant on this side of the creek,
below the steamboat wharf on South
| Laurel street, is of the same general
construction as the one just described
on the west side of the creek, but it
is larger, the tanks being 12x100 feet
and the reducer about 15x25 feet
The building for the machinery here
is already completed and the machin-
cry is practically installed; this con-
sists of a large gas engine, massive
electric dynamo, and huge pumps for
pumping out the water.
Electricians are now wiring the
building.
Already the lack of room at this
plant is apparent; the south line of
the tank itself comes within two or
three feet of the north line of the
adjacent property.
There is good deal of leveling
down to be done yet about this plant,
as the ground is covered with hills
and holes.
From each plant is an or 10 inch
main extending on the bottom of the
creek out to the main channel of
the stream; this is to carry away the
water from the plants as it is forced
out by the great pumps.
By the first of next month the
commissioner thinks, the works will
be ready to start

may darken the last hours and how
their removal may reconcile the suffer
talk of the right to die and the wrong

ROMANCE OF A SHOVEL.

A. Idea That Won . Fortune For I
Railway Laborer.
The simplest labor saving device may
quite possibly be worth a fortune. One
day good many years ago number
Of men were at work on the roadbed
Of a line Of railway in course Of
construction between Birmingham
and Manchester. They We're cutting
through hill and moving the material
by loosening it with picks, shoveling
it into barrows and wheeling it away.
The shovels they were using were
known as Irish shovels, with square
cornered blade about fifteen inches
long. The work progressed but slow
", and the subcontractor in charge re-
buked his workmen for not making
quicker progress. One Of them replied
that if he would grind off the corners
of the shovels it would be easier to get
them into the earth. and, consequently.
they would be able to work more
quickly.
The contractor ridiculed the idea.
which he considered piece of inso-
lence on the part of the workman, but
the navy was quite in earnest and not
easily discouraged. When the work
was completed he discussed the mat
ter with friend of his at Sheffield.
who persuaded an ironmonger he knew
to make a dozen or so as an expert
ment. The tools were offered to a
large contractor. who promised to let
some of his men use the new shovels
and report results.
About a week afterward the con-
tractor returned with the information
that his men were fairly quarreling as
to who should use the new tools, some
arriving to work quarter of an hour
before time in order to be there first
when the tool box was opened. The
navvy's suggestion had proved good
one. A patent was secured and an
agreement made between the navy.
the manufacturer and the contractor.
When the navy died he left fortune
of over f65,O00, the proceeds from roy
alties on the manufacture of shovels
under his patent.-Pearson's Weekly.
