Judge DUNCAN Denies a
Motion to Direct Verdict
in Well-POllutiOn Suit

Judge Nelson Y. DUNCAN denied a
motion made by Frank Bergen on
behalf of the Public Service Corpora
ton to direct a verdict in tAa suit
against the corporation by p. Bal
lantine G.. Sons in the Supreme Court
Circuit.
Mr. Bergen made his motion before
court opened, but when the judge
opened the session he announced that
he would deny it. John o. III. Pitney,
for the plaintiff, was granted permits
sion by the court to amend his decla-
ration in several minor points.
In summing up Mr.. Bergen laid
stress on the testimony of experts re-
garding the effect of air pressure
on water being drawn from a well.
Not only would water be lifted a
great height but it would also be
taken from distances of 1000 feet
through the sides of the well.
The bottled samples of Passiac riv-
err water were again brought out and
the jury was asked to look at the
water and smell of 1t to determine
whether it was not tarry. This is
the substance the defendants claim is
polluting the wells.
Mr.. Bergen's argument took up
the whole morning with the excep-
ton of a few minutes when Mr.. Pit
ney restated the theory on which he
bases his claim for damages.

ON ANNIVERSARY
Division No. 10, of Orange,
Was Organized Twenty
five Years Ago.

A banquet attended by more than
100 men and women marked the
twenty-fifth anniversary of Division
No. 10, Ancient Order of Hibernians,
of Orange, last night. The jubilee
event was held in the Plaza Hotel,
Orange Chief Probation Officer John
]. Gascoyne was postmaster and
Joseph M, Brennan, president of the
Orange division, gave an address of
welcome.
Mayor Frank ]. Murray in felicit-
Gus speech told of the progress and
advance of the Irish people at home
and abroad and spoke of the early
dawn of home rule in Ireland He
had no apprehension about the ability
of Irishmen to master the government
OF their own country, as their trans
planted brethren in this country had
shown Irish-Americans to be as much
at home in politics as "a fish in the
water" Women and men of Ireland,
he said. have been & fruitful people
In aiding and uplifting moral, religious
and social features of this and other
countries. He also said that In the
coming light against the evils of
Soc. alism the Irish win be a formid-
able bulwark in maintaining the su-
premacy OF morals, the home, religion
and the State.
Father Edward M Farrell, of the
Church Of Our Lady Help of Chris
tians, East Orange, said the trials
and difficulties experienced by the
Irish people were direct acts of provi-
dence, and their endurance and virtue
triumphant over obstacles indicated
to him that to the men and women
of Ireland Is committed by God the
task of extending Christianity in the
Americas, Australia and other coun-
tries. He lauded the ideals of the
race and said their preparation in
poverty and misfortune would be of
great benefit in arresting the drift
of America toward the evils of great
wealth and prosperity, which synch-
ronize in the history of the world
with 'einfulness and decay of govern
ment.
James Underwood. for two-score

Brennan, another veteran member:

U. S. Steel Corporation
May Remove Ohio Mills
to Meadows South of Here

NEW YORK, oct. 17.-Information
to the effect that plans are actively
under way for the establishment of a
plant for the manufacture of pig iron
on the New Jersey side of the Arthur
Kill was coupled today with a report
circulated on the floor of the Building
Material Exchange that the meadows
to the south of Newark are being
considered by United States Steel
Corporation officials as a possible site
for the location of steel mills now
centred in Ohio.
That a shift in location is possible
is indicated in the report OF Edwin
c. Eckel, formerly of the United
States geological survey, who, it is
said, made a special study of the
steel corporations strategic position
to determine its chance to compete
with foreign steel with its plant so
far removed from the Atlantic sea-
board His finding recommends the
immediate removal Of the plant to a
point on the Atlantic coast between
New York and Norfolk, Va.
The close relationship that exists
between the steel and other basic
building materials, such as commoL
and front brick, cement, f1reproofing,
plaster, etc, all of which are pro-
duced in the immediate vicinity of
New York, make many members Of
the exchange think that possibly the
steel company would be able to find
an advantage in having its source of
production near its consuming mar
ket That 1t would be in a more adj
vantageous position to make ship
ments abroad, or to protect Its east
ern trade from invasion on the part
Of foreign steel makers, was also sug-
gested.

SCHOOLS CLOSED BY.
ILLNESS TO REOPEN
Glen Ridge Authorities Do Not
Fear Spread of
Diphtheria.

Two of the three public schools in
Glen Ridge which were ordered
closed Yesterday at the instance of
DR.. Henry Crittenden Harris, presi-
dent of the Board of Health, after
two teachers and a pspil had been
reported ill with diphtheria, will re-
open Monday morning. The class
rooms will be thoroughly fumigated,
the work having been commenced
last night. and the authorities do not
fear a spread of the disease, although
they admit that there are some sus-
poets who had been associated with
those already afflicted.
The teachers stricken are Miss
Nellie Decker and Miss Nellie
Thorne. Both stopped at an apart
ment house in Park avenue, Bloom
field. Consequently there is scare
among others living there: The
apartments have been thoroughly
taken care of in the way of fumiga-
ton.
The pupil who is i'll is Charles Fir
man, seven years old, son of Sidney
@. Firman, supervising principal of
the school. The schools closed are
the Central, which also contains the
High School, and is located at Bloom
field and Ridgewood avenues, and the
Sherman Avenue School The Linden
Avenue School is still open, although
between now and Monday it will also
be fumigated as a precautionary
measure, and every step will be
taken by the health authorities to
prevent a possible outbreak there.
A number of parents will, however.
keep their children out of school until
the disease has been stamped out.
1t is the opinion of many that there
is more danger in allowing them to
roam about the streets and remain I
home than there is in going to school.
Miss Decker is In the Essex County
Isolation Hospital at Soho The hos
pital Is being rapidly filled with pa
tents I'll with contagious diseases.
There are about eleven cases of scar
let fever and seven of diphtheria.
All of those at home are under the
supervision of DIR. Joseph g.
Sale. health inspector. The idea still
prevails in Bloomfield that the dis
ease originated from a pile of sand
in which children were allowed to
play in a public park In the Wat
sessing section of the town. They do
not state, however, where the disease
sprung from in other parts of the
town, as we'll as in Glen Ridge. 1t
was said later today that one new
case of diphtheria, that of teacher,
had developed in Glen Ridge.

AWAIT HUERTA'S
STATEMENT WITH
KEEN INTEREST
Calls for Ambassador Confer.
ence-Wilson Seeks Negotia- i,
lions With COnstitutiOnalists.

WASHINGTON, Oct. T.-General
Huerta plans to assemble the foreign
diplomats in Mexico City today or
tomorrow, according to latest state
department advlces, and make a
statement on the present situation.
No inkling of Huerta's purpose was
contained in the dispatches. His
statement will be received Eere with
the keenest interest, though admin
istration officials doubt that it will
alter the situation.
Those closest to the administration
policy believe dealings with Huerta
are practically ended and that peace
full measures to compose the situation
will next be exerted in other direc-
tons Speculation on the possibility
and extent of dealings with the Con-
stitutionalist heads has been revived
by the present situation, but brings
no definite statement frc-l official
quarters.
President Wilson has from time to
| time said he would welcome Informal
| ton of the purposes of the Constitu~
tionalists should they become sue
cessful by arms.
There has been no direct commune
cation, but the President is expected
to be in receipt of information along
| these lines directly.
One difficulty is that the Constitu-
| tionalist chiefs are in various parts
of the republic and communication is
so slow that united action on any
plan which might be submitted would
, take some time to formulate. In the
meantime the administration regards
Huerta's promises for a solution by
an election as violated, and is said
| to feel free to hear other proposals.
International settlement of Mexican
affairs by arms, if necessary, was
| urged in the House today by Repre-
sentative Sherwood, Democrat, Ohio.
"A crisis is now on that calls for
| immediate action on the part of the
| United States,' said he. Zone OF
| three courses is open to us; to raise
the embargo on arms and encourage
| the Mexicans in their natural de
| sires to kill each other: to enter the
| country for armed intervention, or to
cooperate with the other nations or
| the world in exercising a control that
will allow the establishment of a firm
| government"

in the Orange police court today to
answer Policeman Thomas Barry's
charge that he drove his horse on the

Mr.. Condit mounted the stand with
difficulty and admitted he was guilty.
Judge Woodman told him he would
suspend sentence, but directed the
aged man, who despite his years, at
tends daily to his business affairs, to
obey the traffic rules. The court said
the police had given him plenty of
warnings, and he would expect that
in the future Uncle Bill'' would stay
on the proper side when driving.

Morris and Somerset
Electric Company Fight
Invasion of Rival Concern

That another company was invad-
ing the territory of the Morris and
Somerset Electric Company, which
supplies light and power to Morris
town and adjacent towns, was the
complaint set forth by Samuel H.
Gillespie, a stockholder in the latter
case in a petition filed with the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners at

The invading rival is the alleged
Eastern Pennsylvania Power Company
which now furnishes light to Ber-
nardsville, Dover and other towns.
Mr.. Gillespie contends that the rules
of the board prohibit another COM
pany from entering field already
occupied without first obtaining the
permission of the board.
