Be One Thing or the Other.

We note with regret that some pa
pers which came late, haltingly and
weakly to the aid of the farmers
against reciprocity, are further weak
ening their positions by lop-sided
arguments and yelled attacks on those
who have had the courage of their
convictions. The attempt of some
people to stand perfectly straight is
Iudicrous because they are so straight
that they lean Northumberland the

There are enemies enough to engage
without pausing to shy either bricks
Or rotten apples at our friends.

CAPTAIN HURT
ABOARD BOAT
SweIIs Rock Barge Baxter
From This City.

New York, July 21:-As the
freight barge Baxter was being towed
from Perth Amboy to the South Pick
en- street dock, Williamsburg, early
today, a sudden swell struck the
side Of the boat, causing her captain,
Joseph c. Green, sixty-two years old,
who makes his home on board the
barge, to slip and fall through the
hatchway, fracturing his skull and
inflicting internal injuries. His wife,
who saw him fall, raised an alarm,
and his subordinates carried him to
the cabin, where it was thought that
he had only received a bad fall.
Captain Green became worse and
when DR.. Gurtoff, of the Eastern Dis
trict Hospital, finally arrived in a
yawl, and accompanied by police
men, he found his patient in a criti-
cal condition.
AS the physician was descending
to board the yawl, he was struck by
a swell and dashed against the side
of the barge, being knocked almost
senseless. At the Eastern District
Hospital, where Green was taken, it
is thought that he will die.

NO PERMISSION
TO BURY DOGS
Catcher Ole Olsen Will be
Arraigned Tomorrow.

Leo Schwartz, who is a member
Of the Board Of Health but, as a
private citizen, has prepared a case
against Ole Olsen, the dog catcher,
has secured an adjournment of the
hearing from tonight until tomorrow
morning. The complaint is the
maintenance of the dog pound and
canine cemetery in un|sanitary con
ditions. Mr.. Schwartz swore out the
warrant Wednesday night, following
an inspection Of the pound and burial
ground.
Inspection of the pound was made
Wednesday afternoon following a
complaint received by the Board of
Health at the meeting Tuesday. The
complainant was Mrs. Joseph Con-
very, of 598 New Brunswick avenue,
whose home adjoins the alleged
nuisance. She stated the stencil
during the warn nights is ~unbeara-
BILE and Mr.. Schwartz's report of the
inspection Wednesday upholds her
in this contention. The commission
er stated last night he will fight the
case on his own responsibility and
will retain counsel, If necessary. Re
corder Henry w. Kehoe, before
whom Olsen will be a~Traigned, is
looking up the law on the question.
Mr.. Schwartz said last night his
complaint was based on Section g.,
Article /, of the city's sanitary code.
Following Is the section referred
to: NO person or persons or cor
poration shall carry on any trade or
business within the city in such man
ner as to be obnoxious and offensive
to the inhabitants of the city of
Perth Amboy or any part thereof, or
may be attended by noisome
or unhealthful odors, under a penal
ty of not less than five dollars nor
greater than fifty dollars for the first
offense and a further penalty of ten
dollars for each day such business
shall be carried on thereafter"
City officials stated today that
Catcher Olsen has never applied, or
received, permission from the city to
bury dogs on the New Brunswick
avenue property, or, in fact, any
other place In the city. During June
the dogs were buried in Woodbridge
township.

STRANG KILLED
GOING SLOWLY
Well Known Auto Racer
Meets Fate at Last.
Special bu United Press Wire.

APC'lNk " g. L 1900
Blue River, Wis, July 21.-The
body of Louis P. Strang, the auto
race driver, will be shipped today to
Amsterdam, N. Y, where his three
sisters live. Investigations show that
his car was travelling at a snail's
pace when the accident occurred yes
terday.
Strang was pinned behind the
wheel of his Case car and unable to
save himself by jumping. His ma
chine turned turtle in going down an
embankment, and his neck was bro
ken when it hit the f%ootboard.
Strang accompanied the technical
committee of the Wisconsin Auto As
ISOLATION on it's annual reliability
run, which started Monday morning
at Milwaukee, and occupying the car
with him were J. w. Tufts, of Mil
waukee; Lester A. Clarke, of Lancas-
ter, and Joe Jaggersberger, a Case
driver, who acted as mechanician.
When the machine began to leave
the road, these three jumped and es-
capped unhurt. All deny that the car
was going at a hot speed, but agree
that Strang seemed exceptionally
careful to avoid an accident.
A farmers wagon was going in the
same direction, and 1t was when
Strang turned out to pass it that the
accident which caused his death oc-
Cured.
Strang, 1t is said, had not fully re-
covered the strength Of his arm,
which he broke in an auto ace in
Kenosha, June IS, last, when his
machine went through a fence. 1t
was also said that he was morose
following the divorce his wife had
secured from him some time ago.

RIGHT TO TAX
STORAGE COAL
State Board Afirms Big AS
sessment at Dunellen.

Trenton, June 21:-Following the
decisions of the State and federal
courts in sustaining the right to tax
coal stored in New Jersey, even
though it be In transit, the State
Board of Equalization has upheld
the MiddIesex County Tax Board and
affirmed an assessment of $4,000
upon property of the lowering 4
Garrigues company, in Piscataway
Township.
The basis of the objection to the
assessment was that the property in
-91-4d was in transit through the
State and not subject TO taKallon IN
whfch 10 was
found on the day of assessment. The
lowering & Garrigues company is a
New Jersey corporation, having It's
principal Office at West Dunellen,
where it owns a tract Of land and a
plant.
Assessor George w. Coriell, of
Piscataway Township, assessed the
stock in transit at $4,000, but this
was later set aside by the Middlesex
County Tax Board and an assessment
of $4,000 made upon the cOmpany's
property in that township.
The material from mills operated
in other states is unloaded at New
Market for the purpose of fabrica-
ton, sorting and painting, or the put
ting of it in shape for installation in
the building for which 1t is intended.
The material remains at the New
Jersey plant ordinarily for about one
month.
In it's opinion the board quoted ex-
tensiyely from the court decisions in
the cases of the co~al-carrying com
p%anies, in which it was finally decid-
ed that coal temporarily stored In
this state, even though awaiting
trans-shipment to other states, is tax
able.
