NEED OF REFORM
Change in Street SprinkIing SyS-
TEN Necessary
so THINK THE CITIZENS
Present Method Wrong and Service
Under That Method is Far From
Satisfactory

Public opinion in Sank Centre just
at present seems to hold that the
present method of street sprinkling is
wrong and that the service under this
system is capable of being vastly i'm
proved.
Last week, after trying other means
throughout last season and during a
part of the present one, The Herald,
published on the first page schedule
of the trips the sprinkling cart made
for four days in front of The Herald
Office while the weather was very hot
and high wind blowing. This sche-
dule, which WaS the result, on the
part of the publisher of The Herald
Of keeping close tab on the sprinkling
cart for the four days in question,
showed that on two of these days the
cart made exactly four trips during
that period, two on each of two of
the days and one on each of the other
two.
Having some curiosity to learn how
other business men were faring in the
matter of street sprinkling, the pub
Usher of The Herald took the time
and the pains to interview as many of
them as he could find
On Main street between Third and
Fourth, conditions seem to be the
best anywhere in the sprinkled dis
trict, and even there considerable
complaint exists. Only two expressed
satisfaction with the service given by
the sprinkler this season. The dis
satisfaction among the others varied
from that of mild form to outspoken
indignation from one man who had
not taken the service this season, al
leging as the reason that he could not
get satisfactory service last season.
On Third street between Main and
Oak, there is widespread dissatisfac-
tion and open revolt. Four business
concerns in that district have ordered
the service discontinued altogether,
one more is talking of doing SO. while
all the rest but one say the service is
very unsatisfactory.
AS to the service in front of The
Herald office, there hasn't been any
since about nine o'clock last Friday
morning In other localities the SER
vice has been going on, and nearly
every person interviewed stated that
it improved materially after The Her.
AIDS disclosures of last week.
All interviewed, agreed that the
system is wrong: that the city should
handle the sprinkling and let the con-
tract therefor each season. Most
other cities of the size of Sank Centre
do it that way. One prominent bust
ness man expressed the opinion that
oiling the streets might possibly be
the most desirable and the best way
to settle the dust.
The>Herald has taken some time
and some pains to secure the senti-
ment of business men relative to the
sprinkling service given Sank Centre
this season, and the above is the re-
suit Not all were seen for the reas-
on that some were not in when The
Herald publisher called. The plain
facts are stated in this article.
Since the above was written, The
Herald learns that the city council
recently appointed a committee to
investigate the street sprinkling ques-
tion.

MIR. Atwood, who left at $50 Fri
day morning for his home in Mime
apolis, expressed himself as greatly
pleased with his reception in Sank
Centre and said he looked forward
with pleasure to his contemplated
visit here in the Fall. The local
Pythians were greatly enthused and
encouraged and the general public
much pleased with his visit.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 17.-With a
razor in each hand, George Quigiey
pursued his wife from her room to the

jugular vein with the other razor. Mrs.
Quigley is in a hospital and-the physi-
Clans say she will die. The police attri-
bute the tragedy to jealousy on the
part of the husband.
Quigley returned home from a bust
ness trip to New York today and imme-
diately went to his wife's room with
the razors, In his hands. In the apart
ment with the wife was a daughter by

ORGANIZATION NEEDED
TO PROMOTE TRADE
Says Senator Root at Pam
American Conference.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-With a plea
for organization and combination on
the part of American businessmen for
the promotion of trade with Latin
America, Senator Ellhu Root, of New
York, lauded the .principls of organiza-
ton In business, in an address today
at the closing session of the Pan
America commercial conference. He

of the law against the great industrial
organizations reduced the Industrial
efficiency of the country"
Henry White, formerly United States
ambassador to France, and chairman
of the United States delegation to the
fourth Pan-American conference at
Beunos AyIes, spoke of the value of
reciprocity with all nations. Professor
L. S. Rowe, of the University of Penn
%sylvania, dwelt on the necessity for
concentrating attention on Latin
American markets, which he declared
to be of a permaent character as OPP
posed to the temporary markets Of
the far east, where the people were
RAPIDLY initiating the United states in
manufactures.

MEXICAN ARMY

VEGA WOUNDED
Rebels Hold Mexicali - Send

MEXICALT, Mex, Feb. 17.-Defeated
and In full retreat, the army of Gov

hurrying back today toward Ensenada
by way of the Cocopah mountain pass
southwest of here. Vega himself is &C.
verely wounded.
One insurrecto bullet pieced Vegas
neck n another his left side, causing
a serious wound. In a litter, rugged
like a sedan chair, he is being carried
by his men. Simon Berthold, second
in command of the insurrectos force in
Mexico, has left with about 100 men.

the retreating regulars.

correspondent traversed the scene of
yesterdays battle, and though Leyva
reported eleven Federals slain he saw
only four ~dead-three regulars and q
volunteer.
General Leyva, chief Of the insur-
recto forces here, when asked regard

SNAKE IS
EAGER TO CLOSE
\. ARLINGTON GAP
Now Offers Borough Free Water
in Exchange for Road
Crossing Permit.

That the subsidiary concerns Of the
East Jersey Water Company do not
despair of ultimately selling the river
water OF northern New Jersey to the
city of New York and incidentally max
ing millions of dolla1s If the scheme
goes through, is strongly attested by
the eagerness of the water sellers TO
close two important breaches in the
proposed pipe line. Much attention has
been devoted to the activity of the
water company In the vicinity of the
Kill Won Kull, and the latest effort of
the company to get the pipe line aid
from Bayoune to Staten Island under
Federal protection Is a familiar story.
Somewhat less conspicuous have been
the endeavors of the water schemers to
close up the gap in North Arlington,
which, with the Kill o Kuil pipe line.
would afford a direct line from the
water company's Belleville pumping
station to a safe point within the bor-
ders of Now York State. There seems

Now the water men are concentrate

this, as we'll as the stipulation that the
water company should not supply

water company.
The borough officials think 1t is their
turn now to do some rejecting, and
have accordingly expressed disfavor OF
the company's proposition. The senti-
ment among the ~boroughites is that If
they grant such a request they must
get for the borough not a promise, but
an actually in the shape OF a large
cash grant. possibly s25. 900 or 10000
