Roosevelt, Sept. 28:-Another en-
thusiastic Bull Moose meeting
was held here last night, in kish s
hall, in the Carteret section of the
borough. Two speakers assigned by
the Progressive National Committee
addressed the gathering of 400 vo-
ters and highly lauded the efforts of
the local Progressives in organizing
the new Roosevelt Club. The speak

Both men held the attention of thier

interesting reports on the progress
of the movement throughout the

Other speakers were Henry Seid-

CHEAPER COST
OF ALUMINIUM
New Process in Use at Plant
in SeWaren.

Production of aluminium from
cheap clays by new process, which
it Is claimed will bring the cost down
four or five cents a pound Is to be
started in the newly finished plant of
Electric Smelling and Aluminium
Company Just north of Woodbridge
Creek in Sewaren. Operations were
started, but as room was found for
; t was decided to replace the engine.
Operations may be delayed for a
week or two as result.
The process was developed by AL
fred II. Cowles, president of the Elec-
tric Smelling and Aluminium Com
pany, and the late Adolph Kayser.
1t permits the use of clays to pro-
duce q substitute for bauxite. 1t is
claimed that with the utilization of
by-products the cost of aluminium
production will be cheapened by four
or five cents pound. Clay and salt
are treated with steam to produce
hydrochloric acid and sodium sill
coalumnite. This is then broken
down by lime into calcium silicate
and sodium illuminate, from which
A modern plant has been erected
for operations of the process and it
is claimed the result will be that
aluminium will be more generally
used and may be substituted for tin
in many cases. 1t has been used for
a successful substitute of tinfoil. Ex-
perimental work was carried on for
three years prior to beginning of
erection of the plant here. Erection
of the works required more time
than it would ordinarily take to build
factory of such proportions, due to
the fact that the promoters went
along at snail's pace, experimenting
and taking pains that everything
was right. Sections were often torn
down after erected to be rebuilt
along other lines, that the best re-
suits might be obtained.
There are various processes for
production of aluminium, but that Of
Mr.. Cowles is said to be the best and
cheapest. It is intended by this to

L0DCERS ARE
HARD PROBLEM
Cannot Accommodate Many
Mere at Police Station.

The number Of dodgers at police
headquarters is already growing to
large proportions and the police au-
thorities are wondering how they
can accommodate all who apply later
on as winter arrives. Chief Of Po-
lice Burke and Acting Mayor Garrett
son conferred on the subject last
niahI- They arrived at no definite
conclusion anu IlIiess a new idea Is
brought out the dodgers, no matter
how great In number, will have to
crowd into the cellar of the police
station or seek sleeping room else
where.
Chief Burke told Acting Mayor
Garretson last night that the men
were bound to fad shelter under
which to sleep and If they were not
accommodated by ythe police the
would undoubtedly sleep in vaca t
houses, sheds, stables or even hall
ways, as they have often done. He
preferred to have them safe at head
quarters instead of prowling about

AERIATIOh FOR

Nearly Complete.
WILL INCREASE SUPPLY
New Wells Being Driven
Rapidly With Departments
tMachine- To Sink Eight.


Aeriation of artesian we'll water
will soon be started at the city's
water works at Runyon. A new aeri-
alton plant, which has been under
construction for the past few months
is nearing completion. The supply
of water to be received from it,
coupled with the constantly increas-
ing supply from ground storage wells,
will give the city enough water to
supply all demands, it is declared.
improvements are going on at a
rapid rate at the water works. There
is an ample supply of water on hand
and despite this fact the supply Is
constantly being increased. Most of
the old wells are being repaired so as
to increase the yield and new wells
are, being constructed by John Pfeif-
fer, Jr., a contractor, and by city
workmen, by means of well-driving
apparatus recently purchased by the
city. NJ Pfeiffer has yet to sink five
wells with understandable gravel
screens to complete his contract.
The city proposes to sink eight wells
with wire screens by means of It's
own apparatus.
Superintendent Crowell and other
officials CT the water department
were surprised this week to find that
the yield of one we'll increased to
enormous proportions after 1t had
been fitted with new screen. AS
a result a new we'll was constructed
nearby and the yield from that was
exceptional. Thus, by means of Its
new well apparatus, the department
can repair wells and determine cor
rectly the mount Of water to be de-
rived from the ground in various To-
cations,
