Assemble at New York
IMPRESSIVE NAVAL DISPLAY
Main Event in Unprecedented Assem-
bIaee Will &c Review by Presi-
dent Taft October 15-Over

WaSAington.-Final plans for the
mobilization and review of the Allan
tic feet in New York Harbor, October
1915, are now in the hands of Rear
Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, commander
in-chief of the feet.
The main event will be the review
by President Taft and Secretary
Meyer, October Is. The President
will view the column from the yacht
Mayhower.
The 127 ships in the line, with a to-
tai tonnage of 1850, will constitute
the greatest exhibition of naval
strength ever made in American wa
ters. Last year there were SO ships,
including "a irst-class battleships.
This year there will be 80 battleships.
More formidable than last yea also
will be the array of armored cruisers
and other powerful craft at anchor
during the review.
When the feet is ready for review,
October u, there will be on board
about 1000 commissioned officers, 300
warrant officers and $1,000 enlisted
men.
With Secretary Meyer on the yacht
Dolphin will be members of the Sen
ate and House committees on naval
affairs, diplomats and other distin'
guished guests.
Mr.. Taft probably will be joined on
the Mayfower by Secretary Meyer
and his staff. The Mayfower will
move up to the head of the column
of battleships and drop anchor. The
admirals will pay their respects to
the Commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, who will receive each with
the honor due his rank. Mr.. Taft will
then return the visits, going first TO
the Wyoming, Admiral O~sterhaus's
flagship.
The Mayfower will fire a Presiden-
tial salute as the President leaves, and
when his flag has been hoisted tenn
poraily over the Wyoming the other
vessels will join in a further noisy
tribute. AS the President leaves the
Wyoming another salute by the flag.
ship will be followed by the other
guns of the fleet.

Pumping Station Inspected.


Mayor Frederick Donnelly, Commits
sioner J. Ridgway Fell, Engineer A.
C. Gregory, City Engineer Abram
Swan and George w. Lennox, engi-
neer at the pumping station, visited
Little Falls for the purpose of in
specting the filtration plant located
there and after which the plant in this
city is to be modelled, with the excep-
ton that the plant here will include
all of the improvements that have
been made since the installation of
the Little Falls plant ten years ago.
The visit was one of deep interest, as
it proved co%nclusively that the water
provided by the Little Falls plant is
perfect in its purity and crystal clear.
The Little Falls plant is what is
known as the rapid mechanical fltra-
ton with coagulation," which does
the work of a filtration system more
rapidly on a much less area of ground
and for considerably less money. 1t
has also been found that this system
secures practically the same bacteri-
illogical results as are obtained by the
slow sand filtration method. The
process of filtration by the mechanical
method runs from 100, 900, 900 gallons
or more per acre every tw~enty-four
hours more than the slow sand sys-
tem. The cost of operating the two
system is about the same. Approx
mately, it means a bed of sand and
gravel, retained by walls varying in
depth from two to five feet and I'M
derdrained. The raw water is admit
ted to the surface of the bed, filters
through the sand and gravel, and is
delivered by underdrains to a we'll or
reservoir. The object for which it
was first used was the removal of tur-
bidity, the science of bacteriology not
then being recognized or understood.
1t was looked upon simply as a strain
er, and it was found that it answered
that purpose satisfactorily. Other fl
tiers were built in various places,
which also gave satisfactory results.

Trenton.-Soon after the fatal box
factory fire in Newark, General Bry-
ant, the Commissioner of Labor, be-
gan to introduce into factories the
system of fire drills that are so gen
eraly eapployed in the schools of the
state. Nj first factory owners were
disposed to resent any attempt to in
terfere with the management of their
affairs, but a few consented to try the
experiment, and the advantages were
so apparent that the system is being
generally adopted, especially in estab-
lishments where many women and
girls are employed. One of the bene-
fits that will follow will be a con
siderable money saving in the cost of
installing sprinkling and other pro-
tective systems, which will not be re-
quired where the fire drill is adopted
and practiced. 1t is said that the head
of a large concern in the northern
part of the state, after witnessing the
results of a fire drill in a ~neighboring
factory, Immediately gave orders for
the organization of the system in his
establishment, and has since succeed
ed in having it introduced in several
others.

LOOP OF DEATH" Mue- GO.
Towne.hip Committee at Malaga Asks
fer Removal of Grade CROSSINGS.

The first official action for secur-
guarded grade crossings at Malaga,
where five persons have met death
since early in July, was taken when
copies Of resolutions adopted by the
Franklin township committee and de-
handing the abolition of the death
traps were mailed to the Vest Jersey
and Seashore Railroad Company and
to the state public utilities commits
son here. In the resolutions the com
mitteemen attack the railroad Off
Gals for their negligence in not afford
ing protection at the Malaga crossing
when its dangerous nature has been
SO long apparent. They say officially:
We condemn the railroad company
for its reckless disregard of human
life in permitting the crossing to re-
main unguarded until it has claimed
a toll OF five lives within three
months"
The committee cites that the cross
ing has been the scene Of other acct
dents where persons have been seri-
ously injured, among them Edward H.
Stokes, of Millville, father of former
Governor Stokes, and point out that it
is one of the main arteries Of travel
between Philadelphia, Camden and
Atlantic City and other points in the
southern part of the state. Following
1Ais preamble they resolve that the
board of public utility commissioners
be urged Immediately to examine the
crossing in question, of its W initia-
tive, direct the railroad company to
Immediately furnish adequate protec-
tton and remove the crossing at the
earliest possible moment. The reso-
lutions further state that the cross
ings at Franklinville, Iona and New
field are extremely hazardous to hui
mar life" and that the utility com
missioners "be urged to make an or
der compelling the railroad company
to at nee place watchmen there"

Practical Illustration.

An illustration of the efficiency Of
the system was given in this city,
when about 1900 employees of the
Seidenberg factory were dismissed
from the building a little more than
three minutes after the signal had
been given. Most of them were
women and girls who would probably
become panic-stricken if a fire should
break out in the factory and they had
not previously been drilled. Properly
directed, they are now practically safe
for a fire can make little Roadway in
den that employs several thousand
ome and girls has voluntarily
adopted the fire-drill, and supplement-
ed it by notifying every employee that
when an alarm of fire is given she is
to prepare Immediately to leave the
building without attempting tt secure
her hat and wraps. These the com
pany promises to replace at its own
expense if they are lost. The chief
concern is for the safety of the opera
tives. The fire-drill is undoubtedly
the greatest safety device that can be
installed, and it has the merit of be-
ing inexpensive. The operative
knows exactly what to do and how to
do it. With the fire-escapes and the
alarms, there can be little danger of a
repetition of the Newark box factory
horror in this state.

Export Trade Boom.

Export Trade Boom.
The Chamber of Commerce is to
launch a comprehensive system for
the purpose of increasing the exports
of local manufacturing establish
ments. At the present time the ex-
ports of Trenton manufacturers are
much greater than is generally sup
posed, but a plan now under way is
presumed to greatly increase the pres
ent business along this line and tend
to place Trenton-made goods in many
additional cities in foreign lands. A
list of the membership of the com
meIce body is now being prepared to
be sent TO each of something like 300
American consuls. These lists will be
followed with booklets giving in de-
tail the product of each local concern.
These lists will be kept on file in the
Offices of the various consuls and when
a person in any of the foreign coun-
tries expresses a desire to make pur-
chases of American-made goods the
local manufacturers will be represent
ed through the proposed channel. 1t
Is estimated that through the plan
now being perfected by the Chamber
of Commerce that the export trade
will be increased thousands of dollars
yearly. At the present time lamp
posts for many South American cities
are made at the plant of the ]. L. Mott
company here, while the Roebling
company has offices in foreign lands.

laudS. State Prison.
Sir Thomas Oliver, one of the
worlds experts on industrial diseases.
was here and visited the plants of the
potteries and other idustrial institu-
tons. Before leaving the city he Wis.
tied the state prison. He was the
guest Of Commissioner of Labor Bry-
ant. This is the first visit of Sir
thomas to this country, and he came
to this side to attend the Information
al Congress of Hygiene and Demogra-
ply at Washington, D. C. Sir Thomas
is a physician of the royal Victorian
family and now holds a p~rofessorship
in Durham university at Newcastle.
The regulations under which the pot
terles of England are now governed
were drafted by Sir Thomas and Sir
Edward Thorp, so his visit here was
OF much significance and Importance.
He was II of the pioneers in enforc-
ing the use of leadless glaze and in
minimizing it in products where it
was to some extent essential. The
state prison especially delighted him.
He has made penal institutions an es-
pecial study. He considered the local
institution the superior of many found
in England and on the continent. The
food he found good and adequate and
he was particularly high in his praise
of the method of keeping the convicts
employed.
