TAKE STEP TO
REMOVE PONDS
Health Board May Act Against
City, Notify Seaman.

Incensed by the inactivity OF the
city in clearing dangerous and stag
nant ponds in different sections OF
the city the Board Of Health last
night decided to notify f. A. Sea-
man, chairman of the committee on
streets and sewers Of the Board OF
Aldermen, that II something was not
done at once to remove them, dras-
tic measures would be used by the
board against the city. This action
was taken as a result OF a COM
plaint which was made by the resi-
dents of Arnold street living in the
section where Penn and Arnold
streets intersect. 1t was stated that
Arnold street is lower than Penn
street and after 1t rained, pool OF
water would collect and II would be-
come stagnant hence causing dis
agreeable Odors and liable to be the
source Of disease. The board also
decided to notify Mr.. Seaman that
a committee would be sent to him
Saturday afternoon with an auto
mobile to have him accompany the
party and make inspections Of the
sections complained Of.
Object to Soft Coal.
AS the result Of complaint, the
board decided to request the Board
of Aldermen to pass an ordinance
prohibiting the Pennsylvania and
Central railroads from using soft
coal In their locomotives. The
board could take no action on the
complaint because no ordinance had
been passed to prohibit the use OF
soft coal.
Inspection of Bakeries.
A letter was received from the
State Department Of Labor stating
that Miss Van Clear, inspector OF
bakeries, had made the following
report: Out of twenty-one inspec-
tions, Miss Van Clear reported two
unclean, three Illegal. the remain
Ing ones in good condition. The
report was placed on file. Emil
Koyen appeared because of a com
plaint against the water used IN his
building In Compton avenue. The
board decided to send an inspector to
get a sample of the water used and
then action will be taken. Mr.,
Koyen stated that there was no city
water pipes in Compton avenue and
as result the cistern water, being
cared for by the tenants, Is impure.

Deputy Sheriff Houghton.
Mr. Houghton was called by phone
at his home in New Brunswick and
told Of the situation. Immediately
he ordered O'Brien to rush fifty
more deputies to the scene. Th g
was done. Halprin's moving van
was the means of transportation.
One of the worst demonstrations
of the night occurred at o'clock
this morning, when a band Of strik
ers sneaked along the fence and Fhot
into the deputies with rifles. O'Brien
at first ordered his men to charge
with night sticks, but this was not
resorted to.
Believe 1900 Shots Fired.
The situation last night was far
more critical than the riots at the
American Smelling & Refining Co. 8
plant at Perth Amboy several weeks
ago. The location of the factory
makes 1t possible for strikers to hide
along the fence and railroad and
from these positions shoot into the
factory. Jerry O'Brien estimates
that 1900 shots were fired into the
factory during the night. Windows
are broken and portions of the fence
demolished. After o'clock last
night Mr.. O'Brien ordered that no
one should leave the factory, as it
would be murder to the first man
showing himself to the surging
crowds.
All about the factory the strikers
were seen heavily armed with revol-
vers and shot guns and rifles. The
shot guns were not effective as the
light could not be reached with
them. large barn situated di-
rectly In front Of the main office
of the works was the fort for the
strikers.
The strikers ammunition was ex-
hausted about midnight and messen-
gers secured the borough for addi-
tional firearms. Perth Amboy, Rah-
way and Roosevelt were visited and
more weapons were secured. Rum
In all quantities was to be had. The
men were crazed with liquor way

of a clash last night between the

Jerry O'Brien, who are guarding the

Shoot From BarT1cade.
All during the night the firing
continued and the strikers hidden
behind a barricade of railroad ties
made target of the large search
light situated on the main building
of the Williams and Clark works
Thes trikers made several attempts
to fire the lower portion of the
fence, but each time were repulsed
by the guards. The northern sec
tion of the borough throughout the
night was In an uproar. Bands Of
striking foreigners would assemble
on the street corners and hold people
up, look them over, and If they did
not appear to be strike guards, they
were allowed to go on unmolested
In spite of the fact that the heads
of the various factories have az
pealed to Mayor Joseph Hermann to

AYERS that the situation is not crit
tcal enough to take this stand. Mr.
Hermann, it is reported, acknowl-
edges that the officials of the va
Itous concerns want the rum shops
closed, but 1t is said he cannot be
persuaded into their way of think
ing.
So critical was the situation 1t
midnight that Mayor Hermann was
asked to summon deputies to guard
the place as the force in hand by
O'Brien were not sufficient to ccpe
with the situation. After listening
to the arguments for several minutes
the mayor 1t Ia declared said he
could handle the situation without
the aid of the county. Shortly after
ward another outbreak was made at
the same plant and this time the

Help Swell the July 4th

Strong efforts are being made to
secure good sum of money through
popular subscription for an attrac-
tive safe and sane celebration of the
Fourth of July one week from to-
morrow. A total Of s463.b0 has thus
been collected to date. Acting
Mayor Ferd Garretson earnestly
hopes that the general public will
take recognition of his appeal to
patriotism issued yesterday.
Mr.. Garretson, as other city off,
cials furthering the project, deems a
safe and sane celebration the best
kind for July 4. Instead OF giving
children ten, twenty-five, fifty cents
or dollar or perhaps more to ex-
pend on explosives with which they
are liable to be crippled. dishgured

parents give such amounts as they
can spare to safe and sane celebra-

M0FFAT ROAD
DEAL CLOSED
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver. Aug. 22.-At a conference
held yesterday between Newman Erb
and the owners of the Moffat road.
concluding details were arranged for
the transfer of the property to the
purchaser. In the main all parties
TO the contract have agreed to the
stipulations of the deal, and only
minor points are to be made salts
factory to both sides. Legal tangles
brought about through the receiver
ship and the further consent of the
many stockholders in different parts
of the country necessarily have de-
layed the closing OF the transaction
at sooner date. But negotiations
have been completed to point
where the new purchasers of the
road feel safe in proceeding at once
in making needed physical improve
ments all along the line.
Mr.. Erb intends to at once make
trip over the country west from
Steamboat Springs to the coal fields
of the Moffat Coal company with n
view of determining what is neces-
sary to be done before extending the
road on to this point. Railroad peo-
pie here familiar with conditions sur
rounding the Moffat road, say that
there Is hardly a question but that
the line will eventually be built to
Salt Lake City. and that the construc-
ton of the road from Steamboat
Springs to the Moffat Coal company's
property Is the beginning of the Salt
Lake extension.
Mr.. Erb's construction of the stu
alton is that the road should be built
on west as soon as practicable to the
end that the company command an
increased freight and passenger traf-
tic in order that dividends may ac-
crue. With Steamboat Springs as its
present terminus, there Is little OPP
portunity of the stockholders getting
any great amount on their invest
ments. For this reason, then, there
is nothing else left for the new COM
pany to do but extend the line and
get in shape to handle a transconti-
mental traffic, both as to freight and
passenger business.

showed where a large proportion of
this was entirely unnecessary. The
use of the muffler cut-out, for in
stance, he described as being mex
cusable.
On the subject of automobile
warning signals he urged the neces-
sity of greater uniformity. He point
ed out that primarily the automobile
warning signal was public utility.
and that the use OF some signal was
vitality necessary to the safety of the
streets. He declared that, in order
to fulfill its function as true warn
ing. a signal must have certain es-
sential characteristics. 1t must be
loud and abrupt and convey an un-
mistakable expression of danger. He
showed that devices that did not have
these qualifications were, in reality
not warnings, and that they were
consequently responsible for unne-
cessary noise.
"The old-fashioned bulb horn"
said Dir. Blake, is relic of bygone
days, and as much as we dislike to
have it supplanted by the loud, dis
cordant signal of today, we will have
to reconcile ourselves TO it. What we
can do, however, is to prohibit the
use of these modern signals except
when they are actually necessary,
and to urge then that they be used
only in homeopathic doses"
