TO PROTECT MAINS

The Board of Water Commissioners
last night at committee Session took up
the question of protecting the city wa
ter lines in the meadows between the
Raritan River and Runyon from de-
teriorating from a chemical action in
the mud. Various ways of protecting
the pipe were preached. The subject
was discussed in detail with Engineer
S. j. Mason and one suggestion was to
raise the piping up in the air on piling
or concrete foundations.
1t was said that it would only be a
question Of time when the new twenty
four inch main to be laid will have to
be extended up to high ground and
eventually to Runyon. To protect the
new pipe that would be laid across the
meadows in that event, it was pro-
posed to raise it in the air out of the
mud supposed to cause rapid destruction
of iron pipes. The ACCESSIBILITY of sim
ilarly elevating the present twenty-four
inch main was also brought up.
1t was stated that the new Wiscon-
sin pump will just be ready in the
nick of time for the Worthington pump
is in need of a complete o~verhauling,
which it will be given as soon as the
new one is set into operation.

COPS REFUSE
TO PAY FARES
Police Are Now Riding Free
Under Decision.

Acting upon the decision handed
down by the Public Utilities Com
mission last Saturday, that police
may ride free on trolley car when
on duty, local policemen are now
riding free. In some cases conduc-
tors have objected, but the officers
are no longer paying fares and re-
ceived instructions from Chief of
Police Burke this afternoon that
they should not pay.
Despite the fact that no official
notice of the decision of the Utilities
Commission has thus far been re-
ceived here, 1t Is understood City
lice to go ahead and ride. They
have done so the past few days and
in but a few cases have they been
bothered for payment of fare. In
those instances the officers have
offered the number of their badges
to the conductors and continued to
ride without paying.
In one instance a policeman was
asked to get off unless he paid and
the conductor pulled the bell rope,
signalling the motorman to stop.
The police official did not pay and
remained In his seat. The car was
started and the officer reached his
destination without payment of a
nickel. Chief Burke has instructed
his men to stay In the cars and ride
to the destination desired without
paying when on duty.

House Committee, investigating the
steel trust, resumed its hearings to-

witness stand. Just before the ses-
sion opened Representative Stanley
said that he was much pleased that
the work of the committee had
forced the hand of Attorney General
Wickersham and the Department OF
Justice in making certain prosecu-
lions of the steel corporation. He
said it was due to the committee
that the administration had decided
to make public the data which had
been gathered by the Bureau of Cor
porations of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, regarding the steel
industry.
Mr.. Stanley put today's examina-
ton of Judge Gary in the hands Of
Representative Littleton.

caused a sensation by interrupting
Gary's testimony by charging that
the steel corporations are negotiat-

the steel corporation owned 10000
acres of the Connellsville, Pa, field,
and hold a so. 900 lease on the Poca-
hontas field. He said the Independ-
ents hold $4,000 acres in C~onnells-
Vile.
Gary was plainly ruffled when
Representative Stanley said: rs it
true that the Pittsburg Coal Com
pany, which controls the Mononga-
hela Company. is preparing to turn
in its stock for steel corporation
bonds, and that this coal will then
be transported by rail TO the steel
furnishers at Gary, Ill? A United
States senator says this is true
Gary, showing his feelings, denied
this and said Senator Oliver is in
