LACK OF CARTS
DELAYS WORK OF
WETT|NG STREETS
Shipman Says Only Three
Traction Sprinklers Are
Kept Busy ALI Day.

Regarding a number OF complaints
that have been received relative to the
i%nfrequent sprirkling Of the streets
during the present spell of torrid
weather, Charles M. shipman. general
superintendent of works, gave the fol-
lowing statement today. He said;
EVERY effort Is being made BY those
In charge Of the work to sprinkle n
flush as many Of the streets as pos
sible. but It must be remembered that
there are In Newark ffty-two miles
of asphalt paved streets alone. besides
the hundreds Of miles of other streets.
ITO cover this territory we have only
three traction sprinkling carts, which
have been working from sunrise to
dusk since last Saturday. Some idea
of how we have pushed this work can
be gotten from the fact that four OF opr
horses have collapsed under the strain
that has been put on them. One died
Wednesday and three are at present
under treatment at the stables.
MANY Of the hydrants through the
city have been used to flush the streets
at various times during the day.
Though this has undoubtedly been a
benefit 1t has not been appreciated, as
the sweltering sun soon absorbs the
water. leaving the surface dry a hall
hour after the wetting.
"A ma has been stationed at the
Court House plaza with a hose to cool
the painting horses preparatory to the
49, ~ri-.A 80 tJrn hill Tn fact AUArV-
thing that is in the power OF the mu-
nicipal authorities has been done to
relieve the suffering Of mar and beast,
THE centre OF the city is ~sprinkled
by a private corporation that Is paid
by the business houses and property
owners In the section it covers"
This protracted spell of equatorial
weather has brought conditions that
have taken the officials by surprise. and
have taxed the meagre equipment on
hand to the limit.
One communication urging the flush
ing of streets which was received by
the Board Of Works yesterday follows:
"In view of the great suffering and
the increse in the death rate caused by
the excessive heat of the past week and
in view also of the general meteorologi-
cal conditions in this section Of the
country, 1 herewith respectfully take
the liberty of begging this honorable
body to issue the proper orders for
thoroughly flushing and cooling those
streets in the tenement-house districts
where the conditions seem to most i'm
p~eratively demand such action to saw
human life and suffering.
Said flushing to be done night and
morning during the hot spell, Very re-
spectfully. wv. o. HOYT,

RAILROAD ACCIDENT
VICTIM CLAIMED
BY DEATH
Harry Hartley Succumbed on
Wednesday Evening Has
Wife in East st. Louis

Harry Hartley, receiving injuries
while attempting to board and steal
Q ride on Great Northern train in
Emerado Wednesday morning, was
unable to Withstand the shock and at
8 o'clock last evening death claimed
him as victim. Coroner Hethring-
ton went to Arvilla and Emerado this
morning to conduct an inquest, Hart
ley's death taking place at Arvilla
where he was taken Immediately after
the accident.
Superintendent Reidy of the county
hospital at Arvilla telegraphed Hart
ley's wife in East St. Louis, ILL.,, We'd
nesday, and instructions are expected
from her telling what disposition shall
be made Of the remains. Hartley was
In such condition during the entire
day that he was able to give little in
formation concerning himself, and
from the time that he entered the
hospital until death came, there ap-
peared no chance of recovery.
Injuries that were sustained by
Hartley proving fatal were of an in
ternal nature, although the MASKING
of one limb to plup also materially
weakened him by reason of the ex-
tensive loss of blood.

SEPARATORS WERE SMASHED
Two of Them Damaged in Accident
When Car Sideswiped Cabo0se
Loss is About $1,000.

A bad wreck occurred near the
Great Northern depot this morning
when, in switching a number of cars
about the freight yards, fiat car
loaded with two separators sideswip-
ed caboose.
The caboose was standing near the
switch, not pushed far enough back
on the track for cars on the next
line to pass. The fiat car. loaded
with two large sized Gaar-SN,tt
threshing machines struck the pro-
jecting side of the caboose, tipping
the latter car over. The separators
were thrown from the fiat car.
Broken shafting, smashed wood
work and damage which will neces-
state the shipment of the wrecked
machinery to the factory, was the re-
suit.
The damage will amount to about
$1,000. The wrecking crew was call
ed out and cleared up the debris.

though in less aggressive manner
than has Ell Dia, but Andre, the editor
of Ell Dia, is a native Cuban and
member of the congress.
1t is alleged there is nothing in
the Cuban constitution warranting a
deportation of this nature, though
President Palma did deport an 1tal-
ian of the name of Perinino on the
same grounds. Perinino was denied
entrance to a Central American port
and was returned to Cuba and per-
mitted to land in Santiago. He has
been in Cuba ever since, and is now
prominent liberal politician.
The elder Villaverde proudly pro-
claimed himself a Spanish subject
when the minions of the law laid
hands upon him, but his claim was
not permitted to act as stay against
his deportation. The. younger Villa
verde said he was citizen of Cuba.
The Spanish consul said neither of
the villaverdes was registered at his
Office as Spanish subject, and, ap-
parently, he has made no protest
against their being sent away.

Superintendent Bangs Of the Deaf and

Lincoln, Neb.

superintendent D. F. Bangs Of the
North Dakota state deaf and dumb
institute has announced his intention
to remove from Devils Lake to Lin
coin, Neb., where he intends to make
his future home. The reason given
for moving is that he has business
interests in the Nebraska city that
demand his presence there.
Mr.. Bangs has stated that he does
not intend to relinquish any Of his
holdings in North Dakota but feels
that as his interests in Lincoln are
so much larger, he must move. DR..
A. c. Faulkner of Lincoln, was re-
Gently in Devils Lake in consulta-
ton with Mr.. Bangs, his brother-in-
law, and it is stated that the deter
mination of the latter to leave North
Dakota, was made at that time.

COMPANIES
AS FIRST CLASS
IS REMEDY
State Auditor in an Interview
Here-Suggests Plan For
Enforcing Reports

Assessment of all telephone COM
panies of the state failing to make
report of their holdings as being in
possession of first class lines and
equipment Is tho remedy that State
Auditor D. X. Brightbill of North Da-
kota, member of the state board of
equalization, proposes for those
negligent corporations. The state
board has been hung up in its work
on account of the failure of a number
of the telephone companies to make
reports as provided by the state law,
and the board hestitates to invoke the
penalty inflicted by law-that of q
$500 fine-and for that reason has
been delaying action as long as pos
sible in order to give the last of the
companies an opportunity of making
their reports.
"The situation is just this" said
State Auditor Brightbill in an inter-
view here today" There are many
of the telephone companies of the
state that are only small concerns,
supplying from eight to twenty farm
ers in a small district. Their equip
ment is not good, their lines are cheap
and their poles are of an inferior
grade. At the same time these COM
panies operate without expense, hav-
ing their own connections throughout
their limited district, and for that
very reason they have no arganiza-
ton.
"The result of operation under this
plan is demoralizing to the equaliza-
ton board, as our notices fail to re.
ceive attention. We. of course, have
information on the mileage from the
county auditors, but that is all. As
sessing these lines as first class in
creases the taxes considerably, and
on the average small company Of this
nature would make q difference of
from $25 to $50 year in taxes. When
the farmers owning such lines be-
come aware of that fact, they are
very likely to pay more attention to
the question Of getting their reports
in.
Last year the board had similar
difficulties. and in one case an assess

George McCourt, who lives in q
bungalow in Camp Warren, South
Beach, Staten Island, with his wife
and twin sons, Alfred and George, Jr.,
was sailing big kite of oil silk of
South Beach. The kite was manipu-
lated by wooden reel attached to q
telegraph pole, and had risen about
100 feet at the end of 400-foot string.
McCourt was unwinding the reel
and the twins were standing close
to the string. when there came a sud-
den change in the wind. The kite
suddenly shifted from north to north
west and swung over the marshes.
AS 1t did SO che taut string became
loose and formed moose that circled
the body of little George.
In the fraction of a second the west
wind caught up the kite and It swung
high in the air.
McCourt. not seeing his sons
strange plight, continued to unwind
the reel. Then came q scream from
Alfred. His father looked up.
Two hundred feet from the reel the
entangled child was ten feet in the
air. He wriggled violently, and the
kite was pulling so hard at the reel
that McCourt could not control it un-
til he put in block of wood.
McCourt, using all his strength,
twisted one arm in the twine and pull
ed himself along, his weight lowering
the kite as he did 80. The twine rub

of his outing shirt. Up blazed the
matches and his shirt began to flame.
So great was his anxiety for his son
that he did not know he was burning.
McCourt kept his feet until he was
within twenty feet of the boy. By that
time he was over q swamp. and ten
feet distant was a creek. Hand over
hand, his shirt now almost burned
from his body. McCourt got to the boy,
seized his legs. and untangled him.
Father and boy dropped into the
