TO STOP POLLUTION.
Authorities Take Action Against Dow
er and Rockaway People.

The Jersey City law department has
taken action against residents of
Dover and Rockaway who are alleged
to be poluting the Rockaway river
George F. Eagan, an inspector at the
watershed. swore to a complaint
against Eugene Cooper, a resident of
Dover. Eagan states he discovered
that waste water from sink in the
Cooper house flows into little ditch
that empties into Ford's pond and
through this runs into the Rockaway
river. Eagan also alleged that the
whole premises are filthy with gar
bage and refuse and that, while
times by John Taylor, the health in
spector of Dover to clean up his prop
erty and abate the nuisance, he has
failed to comply.
Another inspector, William ]. Cole
man, complained against the Mac
Kinnon Axe Works, manufacturing
concern located on the banks of the
Rockaway river in Rockaway. Cole
man stated that twenty-five feet from
the MacKinnon factory is a building
from which polluting matter runs in
to the river. He said he several
times notified Mr.. Blanchard, who
claims to be in charge of the factory,
to abate the nuisance, but the source
of pollution still exists.
George A. Johnson, sanitary en-
gineer, is making an inspection of
the entire watershed, and will rec
ommend certain steps to be taken.
The matter will be ultimately laid be-
fore the state board of health.
If the state board neglects to take
immediate action in the case, the
Jersey City officials it is said, will
seek other ways by which they will
be enabled to directly prosecute the
persons alleged to be responsible for
the pollution of the water
The persons complained against in
the affidavits made by the two in
spectors are said to be by no means
the only offenders.

LosT-A MANHoLE.
But the Electric Company Found |,
After Several "Soundinqs."

The Morris & Somerset Electric
Co. lost manhole this week. That
is, the employees were unable to find
that one at Speedwell avenue and
Clinton place for day or two. Sew
eral small holes were dug in the
road before the manhole was 10
Gated. When built, the entrance was
nearly foot below the level of the
street and in consequence when the
new pavement was put down, the top
of the manhole was buried under sew
eral inches of concrete and stone.
The electric company is running a
cable into it's conduit on Speedwell
avenue, hence the necessity of find
ing the manhole. With this cable in
service switch installed in the man
hole it will be possible to cut off
the upper section of the townincase
of an accident there without cutting
off the current from the whole town.
Then, too, several more poles on
Speedwell avenue can come down.

JAPAN FOR PEACE.
yellow Peril, is Abeurd Says Speaker
Before Friday Club.

That there is no such thing as the
yellow peril as generally under
stood, was the statement of DIR.
Toyokichi Iyenage, of the University
of Chicago, before the Friday Evening
club at it's November meeting.
Never was a thing so absurd, un-
just and chimerical launched for the
affliction of the human race" de-
low people have any idea of COM
bining to drive Europeans out of Asia
and to overwhelm Europe and America
with their armies. The theory utter
ly ignores the history and character
istics of the Japanese, while the Chi
nese are never aggressive.
Peace is the important thing for
Japan and her people hold ideals far
loftier and nobler than race hatred
and religious bigotry
THAT there is unity between China
and Japan is an air castle, as it is
actually non-existant. There may be
combination for political and econ
omic reasons some time, but COM
bination for yellow aggression is as
impossible as a coalition between
America and Europe to oserwhelm
China and Japan.
"A real yellow peril lies in the
present unstable political condition
of China, which threatens chronic
unrest"
DR.. iyenaga was not sure that China
is near the end of her troubles,for 1t
has to settle questions of autonomy
against strong central government.
finance, and the adjustment of old
doctrines with new republican ideas.
The political rehabilitation of China
is a long way off without strong
central government, he yentured
Japan has nothing but goodwill to-
ward China" DR.. Iyenaga said. "She
is Japan's best customer, next to
America, and Japan's salvation de-
pends on commercial success. 1t is
evident that China's prosperity is
Japan's. Until China becomes safe
and strong, peace in Asia is not as
sured."
William H. Short, secretary of the
New York Peace society, also ad-
dressed the meeting. He told the
history of the peace movement and
argued that the time is coming when
armament will no longer be neces-
sary, with war eliminated by an ex-
tension of law and the establishment
of court with full jurisdiction over
the world.

JERSEY WOMEN CANNOT VOTE.
Franchise Is Not Natural Right, but
One Created bv Law

The court of errors and appeals has
affirmed the decision of the state SUI
preme court holding that women are
not entitled under the constitution of
New Jersey to vote for civil officers,
presidential electors or on questions
submitted to the people. Women are,
however, permitted to vote at school
elections
The decision was in the case of
Harriet F. Carpenter against the
board of election of the southern dis
trict of Passaic township, Morris
county. Miss Carpenter claimed that
women were entitled to vote under
the state constitution of 1875 and
that this right had been improperly
taen away by the constitution of
1884. Justice Swayze held that the
right to vote is not natural inherent
right but is created by constitutions
and statutes

 Tt must be distinctly understood that the police must interfere when either of the contestants appear to be suffering from injury or is eX- hausted. or otherwise appears unable to continue, or if he is obviously out matched The police have ample power 10 stop any fight where any of the contestants is hurt. A responsible officer of police must always be pres ent, and must be careful that the con test is strictly a boxing match and does not develop into a prize fight or brutality. He should also watch the contest carefully and act with promp. titude. Before the fight the responsi- ble officer should inspect the gloves and see that they are not less than six ounces in weight each. There must not in any circumstances be any in. fighting allowed and a clean break must also be insisted on. Contests must be for a limited number of rounds not exceeding twenty The police must also see that posts and flooring within the ring are suitably padded, So that a fall will not be at tended with any injury to the con testants. The contestants must be eX, amined and certified as fit for the con- test by a medical man before enter ing the ring and. unless these condi. tions are observed no contest must be allowed to proceed"
