In his book, 1.-THE Betrayal in spite
of its having been censured by the
English government, he scathingly ar
raigns the English policy calling it
delusion which left England I'M
prepared when on the verge of war
with Germany in July. In one part
he says as follows:
The public were and are hypno-
tized by the Dreadnought Policy.
The excessive and vulgar advertise
ment lavished upon this experimental
vessel was by no means justified.
The effect of that advertisement not
only led the British public into a de-
fusion from which they are still suf-
fering, but created natural irritation
among foreign powers.
"In 1906 the tradition of dignity
and courtesy hitherto prevailing in
the service was rudeIy violated and
Great Britain proclaimed herself the
Bully c. the Seas.
All that the British Admiralty
had accomplished was to publish
new design just in time to enable 9TH
er nations to profit by its defects

Three Beauty Aids
Woman Should Know
(From French Beauty Monthly

ANY woman who wants to have
lovely and beautiful hair can do so 1t
she will use a dry shampoo once a
week. Just put a cupful OF cornmeal in
fruit jar and mix with it an original
package of therox; sprinkle a little on
the head. and brush out. It brushes
out easily, taking all dirt with it, and
leaving the hair clean, bright, wavy
and full of life. This treatment causes
hair to grow.
ITO avoid enlarged pores, dark and
discolored bIotches, wrinkles, superflu-
Gus hairs and blernishes of complexion,
stop using fancy cosmetics and apply
each morning only the simple lotion
made by djssolving an original pack
age of mayatone in half a pint of
witch hazel. Do this, and your com
plexion soon will be soft, smooth and
altogether charming.
Worry is a beauty destroyer. If
there are children in your home, don't
borrow trouble, but prepare for emer-
gencies by keeping at hand jar Of
Mothers Salve. The world never saw
its equal as a healer of cuts. burns,
bruises, sores, sprains and aches II
is splendid for sore throat or Group,
too.'

whom it had been taken.
Mrs. Batten said she once had been
the wife of David Rothschild, presi-
dent and confessed wrecker of two
New York banking institutions and
who died in Sing Sing in 1907. She
said 1t was her purpose to restore the
half million dollars to the depositors
of these institutions, the Federal Bank
of New York and the Globe Security
company.
600, 900, she said. and that her under
standing was that the receivers had
already paid so cents on the dollar.

DECISION GIVEN
IN CANAL CASE
Public Utility Commission
Dismiss Complaint of New
Brunswick Trade Board.
GROUNDS SET FORTH
Charter Rights Of Company
Preclude Regulation Of 0
on the Waterway.
spectal to the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, Feb. 9.--Upon the
grounds that the charter rights OF
the Delaware and Raritan Canal
Company preclude the regulation OF
tolls on the waterway; that a CLASH
ication of tolls on the canal, If rea~
sonahle, is not unjust, and that a
uniform charge per ton in mile for
all canal traffic would be less reason
BILE than a proper constructed classi-
fication of tolls, the State Public
Utility Commission today dismissed
the complaint of the Board OF Trade
of New Brunswick filed against the
canal company on October g., 1911.
The Board Of Trade asked that the
Utility Commissioner order the canal
company to desist from maintaining
a classification Of tolls; that 1t re-
Quire a uniform rate of toll for all
freight carried on the canal, not to
exceed ten cents per ton for travers-
ing the entire length of the canal,
that the board order that the canal
be kept open for traffic twelve
months In the year; hal the board
order that the waterway be deepened
to seven feet throughout Its entire
length. Following the filing Of the
complaint, the canal company lodged
Its answer with the board, and the
hearing took place December IL,
1911.
Keep Open Certain Time. !,
While Diminishing the general COM
plant, the Utility Board decides that
the testimony showed that January
and February suffice to do the ordi-
- a -. w11n{r rf~wIx ~ xba ri vol nrd
determines that adequate and proper
service require the keeping of the
canal open to transportation for the
maximum period yearly consistent
with proper inspection and repairs.
The board. therefore, orders the
canal company and the Pennsylya-
MIA Railroad Company, lessee, not to
close the canal or any portion there
OF to navigation between March /
and December 30 OF any year, unless
on previous petition duly made to
and granted by this commission.
This order becomes effective on De-
cember 40, 1912, and 1t Is expressly
declared that It will not cover such
closing required by eason OF nnfor-
o II accidental occurrences rem
dering imperative and exceptional
cessation OF navigation.
The petition OF the Board Of
Trade, dismissed without prejudice
to ~reopening the questions involved,
IL at any time more complete state
control over canal tolls shall be OBJ
tanned, and without prejudice to a
subsequent petition to establish the
practicability of using the lower
level of the canal adjacent TO New
Brunswick during the winter seaso
generally.

TROLLEY HITS
AN OIL WAGON
Driver Escapes Injury When
Vehicle Turns Over.

Ambrose Langan, a youth CT 196
Market street, sustained a severe
scalp wound and had q narrow es-
cape from probably far more serious
injury, when a Standard oil rig he
was in charge Of was rammed and
overturned by a trolley car at State
and Fayette streets at $50 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. He was hurled
from the drivers seat as the heavy
oil wagon overturned and his head
struck the icy pavement, infiicting
a wound about three inches long on
the left side OF his head running
towards the center OF the top. His
legs were also slightly bruised. The
horses remained standing and failed
to take fright as the ponderous ve-
hicle with 500 gallons of oil was
turned on its side, thus preventing
O more serious accident.
Wagon Moving Slowly.
The Standard Oil Company's rig
was struck as 1t was on Fayette
street crossing State street at a slow,
rate because of the heavy load. At
that time Public Service trolley car
No. 1874, was being driven south
ward on State street. 1t was IN
charge of Conductor Holobowitz and
driven by Hans Kragelund q motor
man.
1t is believed by n nan on the
scene at the time that Kragelund
saw the rig, but kept the car rum
ming and made a m~iscalculation as
to the rate 1t was going. The truck
was heavily laden and was being
har1ed hut SLOWLY at the time, The
horses had crossed the trolley track
and the ~ferepart Of the wagon when
the collision occurred. The wagon
was hurled to the eastsrly side OF
State street. and up against q curb
just south OF Fayette street. Young
Langan was sent sprawling to the
pavement. DR. M. s. Meinzer was
summoned and gave him medical
