UNIQUE WEAPONS Of WAR
Wooden Cannon Have Been Used
With Success In Modern Times by
West Indian RevolutIonlsts.

Any one familiar with the construo-
ton of modern weapons Of warfare
and the high explosives used in them
would naturally suppose a cannon
made of wood would be of little or no
value as weapon.
Wooden cannons have been used
with considerable success. neverthe-
less, in recent revolutions in Cuba.
Haiti and In the Dominican republic.
The wood used in the construction
Of these crude weapons Is a very
tough variety. having twisted grain
that curls about the log in such a way
that to split the timber with the or
dinary means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected. and
piece Of the log five or six feet in
length and about one foot in diameter
Is cut. After the bark has been re-
moved and the log made round, It il
swung up on a crude truss and hole
is burned into 1t from one end. The
log is wound with strips Of rawhide
cut from the skin of a steer. Hfhen
the cannon is covered with the strips,
Of hide, another layer is wound on.
and this Is continued until the weapon
has increased several inches in diam
eter.
After the log is covered and the
bore is finished the weapon is treated
to hot draft, which tends to con-
tract the hide binding and which be-
comes almost as strong as wire.
These crude cannons have been
used with success in number of in
stances, and it is astonishing the num-
ber of times they may be fired before
they burst or become otherwise dis
abled.-Harper's Weekly.

dinary earthenware, which was al
ready relatively low. being subject
to an average duty OF 24.67 per cent,
has now been cut to Is per cent,
while window glass has been given an
average reduction on all glasses of
from 46.3S per cent. to 1881 per cent.
Plate glass. which may be considered
a luxury, still retains duty of nearly
40 per cent. the average being 3s.45
per cent, in place of the duty of 63.95
per cent. in the law.
Pig Iron and ForgIngs Hit.
"Pig iron and slabs. which we're
1876 per cent. and 1919 per cent.
have been cut to per cent in each
case; beams, from 1920 per cent to IL
per cent, and forgings from 80 per
cent. to Is per cent. On the other
hand, bicycles, a much more highly
manufactured product, are dutiable at
rs per cent. as against As per cent,
and razors at 35 per cent. as against
776S per cent.
"The idea OF the large extension OF
the free list for the manufactured
products has been the fundamental
conception, while the effort has been
made to improve the status of the
manufactured lumber. Thus. sawed
boards, other than cabinet wood, have
been carried to the free list, while
sawed cabinet woods, which were
1915 per cent. in 1912, are now 10 per
cent; casks, barrels. etc., which were
80 per cent, are now 14.77 per cent.
and house furniture, which was 35 per
cent. Is now 15 per cent.
Tobacco and spirits have been
found to be good producers Of revenue
and have. therefore, been left at the
same rates as in the present law.
Would Reduce Cost Of Living.
"In the effort to relieve the consum-
er and to mitigate the high and rising
cost of living, schedule G, which deals
with agricultural products, has been
thoroughly revised and important re-
ductions have been made For In
stance, the duty on horses has been
reduced from 25 per cent. to 10 per
cent, cattle from 25.07 per cent. to 10
per cent, sheep from 16.41 per cent.
to 10 per cent, barley from 43.05 per
cent. to 23.O7 per cent, macaroni
from 34.25 per cent. to 1881 per cent,
hay from 1921 per cent to 1857 per
cent, fruits from 27.21 per cent to
1888 per cent. figs from 51.53 per cent.
to 42.10 per cent, lemons from 6S.S5
per cent. to 24.03 per cent, live poul-
try from 1910 per cent. to 6.67 per
cent. and vinegar from s303 per cent
to 1888 per cent. Other changes are
in proportion. and the general effect
has been to reduce in q very material
proportion the heavy taxes upon i'm
ported foodstuffs.

AUTOPSY FAILS TO
REVEAL MURDER
q
~kregzi's Skull Not Fractured,
as Told in Confession of
Steponaitis.

An autopsy performed yesterday on
the body of Charles Kregzis by County
Physician Mckenzie failed to show
that the mans death was due to a
fractured skull. John Steponaitis la
being detained in the county jail on
his voluntary confession of the muir
der.
The prosecutors office does not know
Just what disposition will be made of
Steponaitis in view of the findings of
DIR. Mckenzie. Prosecutor Louis Hood
pointed out today that the failure to
lind a fracture Of the skull did not
necessarily prove Steponaitis's con-
fession to be untrue, as Kregzis might
have only been stunned when thrown
into the river by Steponaitis.
The latter will still be held In the
county jail to await further develop
ments, one of which will be an ex-
animation by alienists to determine
whether he is sane or not.
The decayed condition of the body
made the autopsy very unsatisfac-
tory. DR.. Mckenzie said later that no
positive conclusion could be reached
in the matter. He was certain, how
ever, that the victim had not sus-
tanned a fractured skull.
In his confession, Steponaitis said
he hit Kregzis over the head with an
iron bar and then threw the body
into the Passaic river. The body was
found April q. Steponaitis confessed
November Q, and 1t was necessary to
exhume the body for the autopsy.

Fire Chief Declares Girl
Was Killed by His Auto
Through Own Negligence

Negligence on the part of Miss
Marian May, who was killed by the
automobile OF Fire Chief Paul Moore
on May 10 last, is charged in the an
swers filed today by the chief and his
chauffeur. Isaac Wolverton, to the suit
for 10000 brought by Mrs. Marian
May, administrator.
Both the defendants are represented
by City Attorney Herbert Boggs.
The answers deny the truth of the
charges contained In the papers start
ing suit, and as q defense claim that
Miss May did not exercise due care in
crossing the street when the fire de-
partment auto was approaching.
The accident happened at about IL
o'clock of Saturday night, May 10, as
the chief was going to second-alarm
fire in the Ironbound district.
A coroner's jury exonerated the fire
department officials of blame, and the
grand jury taking UP the case subse-
quently apparently concurred In the
finding of the coroner's inquest, as no
action was taken against the firemen.

FORGERY CHARGED
AGAINST BANKRUPT
Bank and Tile Company Of
ficers Seek Thomas A.
AtherIy, HoteIman.

The officers of the City Trust Com
spany. of Roseville avenue, and the
"A. Pardi Tile Company. of New York
city, are anxious TO find Thomas A.
.Atherly, the missing bankrupt pro-
tprieor of the Roseville Hotel. on Rose-
Vile avenue, opposite the bank. 1t is
declared he knows about some ques-
stiOnable signatures that are attached
to three matured notes which were
discounted at the trust company and
have not yet been paid.
The bank presented the notes to the
tile company for payment. 1t was re-
fused, on the grounds that the sigma
lures were not genuine. The name of
the tile company appears in the sig
nature countersigned by the phrase
ss.by A. Pardi, treasurer" Atherly
appears as the beneficiary of the ques-
stionable notes.
Atherly acted as salesman for the
Ostergaard Tile Company, of Perth
Amboy, of which he is a stakeholder,
and sold goods to the Pardi company,
who paid him by check The Pardi
company declares the three notes were
forged. They represented total
amount of $500.

haust every means of placing re-
sponsibility for the questionable

BILE whereabouts OF Atherly. Smith

proprietor.
The hotel was closed shortly after

JEWISH LEADER
DECLINES HONOR
Rabbi Fosters Name Put on
Holiday Committee List With
out His knowledge.

Rabbi Solomon Foster Of the
Temple B'nai Jeshurun, will not take
part in the municipal Christmas tree
celebration that is to be held in Mill
tary Park during the holiday term.
He made this announcement today.
Tt appears that Mr.. Fosters name
was placed on the celebration COM
mittee without his knowledge. He
feels that his participation In the
proposed Christmas event would not
be consistent with his religious be-
lief and position In the church. He
is one of the best known Jewish
leaders In New Jersey.
Seven other prominent Jewish resi-
dents of Newark, all laymen, also
have been named to serve on the
committee. OF this number ave have
expressed no unwillingness to serve.
Rabbi Foster was scheduled by the
committee to read the ninety-frs
psalm in Hebrew at the municipal
exercises to be held on December 81,
the last evening OF the weeks Christ
O'Connor Is to speak that night and
so Is Rev. George p. Dougherty, of
st. Paul's M. e. Church.
while / appreciate the courtesy
and compliment of the assignment, :"
said Mr.. Foster today, II feel that
my unwillingness to participate in
this service will not be construed as
opposition to the glad spirit that
marks for my Christian fellow citi-
zens this season of the year. Tho
use of my name in connection with
this service has been entirely without
nay consent or sanction"
Carl G.. Bannwart, chairman OF the
celebration committee, has received
no reply as yet, so he said. from Moses
Plaut, David Grotta. Nathaniel King,
Louis Schlesinger, Louis Bamberger,
AMI Berla and Lewis Straus, all of
whom have been named as members
of the committee.
When Mr.. Fosters attitude was
made known to them today Mr.. Plaut,
Mr.. Grotta, Mr.. Straus, Mr., King and
Mr.. Bamberger all declared that they
saw no objection to serving. Mr..
King and Mr.. Bamberger remarked
that they had not yet been notified
OF their appointment but that they
would be willing to be on the COM
naittee.
Mr.. Schlesinger said he will not be
able to serve because he will be out
OF town. Mr.. Berla could not be
reached.
81 shall be unable to devote any
time to the work of the committee be-
cause of the pressure of business"
said Mr.. Plaut, "but am heartily in
favor OF any movement designed to
give happiness to humanity. II had
the time I should willingly take an
active part in the celebration"
"I can understand Mr.. Fosters
standpoint" declared Mr. Grotta, but
from the standpoint of a layman
am in favor of any celebration which
is for the good Of mankind in general,
irrespective of race or creed. I view
the celebration as broad humani-
tartan movement, and should be
glad to contribute financially and in
any other way toward it."

TEACHERS PROHIBITED BY SCHOOL BOARD
FROM ACCEPTING XMAS GIFTS FROM PUPILS

Orange school teachers who in the
past might have received Yuletide
tokens from their pupils will be I'M
able to accept a gift this year, If they
live up to an order issued by the Or
ange Board of Education last night,
The action of the board properly con-
strued simply means that a presenta-
ton cannot be made In a school build
ing.
The resolution, as originally pre-
scented by Commissioner Arthur u.
Chandler, merely expressed the
boards disapproval of the practise.
Commissioner James P. Kelly,
chairman of the committee on rules
and regulations, ardently opposed the
resolution on the ground that 1t was
not emphatic enough, and desired the
board to frame a new measure which
would do away completely with the
custom, which, he said, was often
the cause OF embarrassment to many
of the poorer children.

that he had personally told President

were submitted to request Its with
drawal. He had also told the same
thing to several of his friends, he
said, and was surprised that they had
allowed his name to be mentioned.
Mr.. Macksey's defeat was brought
about by the overthrow of 1.-The old
guard" in the league, consisting of
Edmond A. w litter, of East Orange;
Redmond F Herman, of Bloomfield;
Simon P. Northrup, of this city. and
others.
Before the various nominations were
made the leagues bylaws were
amended so that the entire executive

lam A. Kirk and Ernest r. Gsell. Mr..
Whittier responded by nominating

let, and gave it to him. 1t proved to
be O tablet which was for external use
only. The physicians at the hospital
do not know what is contained In the

Mr.. Chandler objected that it was
not within the province of the board
to prohibit a child from making q
present to his teacher, especially In
cases where the teacher had been in
vited to the pupils home and had be-
come personal friend of the parents
Other commissioners also discussed
the possibility Of gifts influencing q
teacher in marking the work of
pupils, which Mr.. Kelly seemed to
feel might be open to debate. The
latter also favored establishing a
fund with which to provide shoes for
the poorer pupils, and cited a portion
of the report of superintendent of
Schools James N. Muir, which showed
that elghty-two school days In the
past month had been lost by children
not provided with foot covering. The
compromise was effected when Mr..
Kelly framed the resolution finally
passed, Mr.. Chandler withdrawing his
original motion and seconding Mr..
Kelly's.
