Fire Dept May
Buy Steel Eater
Oxy-Acetylene Apparatus De-
yours l4l-2-Inch Beam.

An exhibition of the ease with which
an oxy-acetylene apparatus can cut
through heavy iron beams was given
at fire headquarters before the COM
missioners and officers Of the depart
men late yesterday afternoon. The
commissioners have the purchase of an
outfit under consideration. 1t is said
that by the use of one of these ma
chimes a life could have been saved at
the Equitable fire by the cutting Of
bars that imprisoned one of the officers
of the company. Since the fire the
New York department has purchased
two outfits.
The outfit consists of two wrought
iron tanks containing acetylene gas
and oxygen respectively, under pres
sure. Fifteen feet of hose connect the
tanks with a torch equipped with a
bronze jet. But a moment is required
to first heat the tip by turning on the
gas and then the oxygen is added.
causing the flame at the tip of the torch
to give a temperature of 5000 degrees
of heat.
The metal to be cut Is then exposed
to this heat for approximately a second
and a second stream of oxygen under
thirty pounds pressure is then added,
which results in the fusing Of the iron
and a complete severing of the bar or
beam. .,ss.
At the demonstration yesterday, which
was held IN one of the offices, a four
teen and one-half inch T beam was
cut In two in three minutes and eigh-
teen seconds. But one minute and
ffty-seven seconds vas required to cut
through an iron plate twelve inches
wide by seven-eights of an inch thick.
A round bar, one and one-quarter
inches in diameter was severed in just
thirty seconds.
Chief Engineer Sloan said after wit
Messing the workings of the apparatus
that the acquisition of one would be of
great assistance to the department.
Many of these cellar fires.
where there is no outside entrance,
cause us great trouble in reaching
the heart of the matter" he said.
with this apparatus 1t would be only
the work of a minute to cut a hole
through the iron ~gratings large enough
for a man with a hose to descend"

PROPERTY IN
TANGLE OVER
MORTGAGES
Contracting Firm Fails to Re-
cord Bond and Much
Trouble Results.

Many complications resulted when
Dey & Sutphen, the late contracting
firm of this city, failed to record an as
signment of a bond and mortgage taken
from Walter p. Lindsey, who formerly
practised law in Newark and left about
five years ago.
Lindsey contracted with Dey & SUIT
phen to build a house in East Orange,
giving a mortgage on a piece of prop
erty in Byram township, Sussex
ty, as security for the work.
When the house was about two
thirds completed the contractors found
out that Lindsey did not own the
ground on which they were working
and they were ordered from the prem
Uses by the owners. The contracting
firm failed to record their assignment
and another assignment of the same
mortgage was made to District Court
Judge Malcolm MacLear, who had the
assignment which was made by Linds-
ley's father, Morris Lindsey, put on
record. The son, on account of bust
ness troubles, had left Newark for
parts unknown. The assignment vas
made to Judge MacLear to liquidate
claims made against Morris Lindsey,
who was his associate lawyer.
Dey Il Sutpnen Claimed that $4,000
was due them when their work on the
West Orange house was peremjtorily
stopped.
The unexpected turn of affairs nearly
wrecked the contracting firm, and Dey
q Sutphen, according to the testimony
of Mr.. Dey, sold the Lindsey mort
gage to w. c. Gift and J! Frank Best,
of Stanhope, for $50.
To complicate matters still further
James French claims he bought the
mortgaged property at a tax sale in
1908 and claims ownership through a
tax title which he perfected in 1910
when the property had not been re-
deemed.
Now Cliff and Best seek to foreclose
the mortgage held by them and an
application was made by their attor-
ney. Elmer King, before Vice-Chan-
cellor Emery today, in Chancery Court.
Mr.. King is also proceeding against
Mr.. French and his tax title. Judge
MacLear's interests were in the hands
of Mr.. Fort. and Mr.. French was
represented by Edward Raynor.
