WATER BOARD TO ACT
ON THE UNPAID BILLS

Within the next few days the new
rule. of the Board of Works, making
all water bills. unpaid for period of
three months, a lien on the property
will be put into effect.
There Is at present due and owing
to the water department $15,21I19 in
unpaid water bills. Several Of these
date back to 1881. Bills from Novem-
Der /, 1912. are not included in this
list.
When the present regime took
charge of the water department.
affairs it inherited back bills to over
100000. These have been decreased
since the first of the year to the fig
ures above. On January there was
owing from the assessed rate account
$22, 900. and this has been reduced to
$2,217f9; on the meter accounts LOCO
was owing, and this has gradually
been reduced until at present only
about $4,000 is still outstanding.
Commissioner Charles f. Kraemer.
as chairman og the water committee,
was given full power by the board
last week to advertise these amounts
so that they could be collected as
liens. He declared today that he
would do this within the next few
days, just as soon as the entire list
is compiled by William e. Allan, the
expert, who has been in charge of
the water department affairs since
the first of the year.
Because it is thought the change
would be too radical at this time II
has been decided to hold public
hearing before putting into effect the
rule to grant no further reductions on
assessed water bills. This hearing
viii be held before August |, on which
date it is planned to put the rule into
execution.
Hereafter all outside employees OF
the water department will be CARRIED
in neat uniforms. The nature of the
uniform will be decided upon at to-
days meeting.

WASHINGTON. May lie. K
Campbell. of Birmingham. Ala, for
many years political manager for
Representative Oscar Underwood, has
been selected by President Wilson for
a Judge in the United States Court
of Claims. His nomination was ex-
pected to go to the Senate today.
When Mr.. Campbell's name was
first mentioned for the judgeship, 1t
was pointed out by some Alabama
Democrats that he had opposed In
structing the delegation to the Balt-
more convention to vote for Mr.. Will
son in the event that Mr.. Underwood
could not be nominated
The selection of Mr.. Campbell for
the jndgeship probably means the ele-
walton Of Judge Charles D. Howry' Oh
oxford. Miss, to be chief justice OF
the Court Of Claims. His nomination
also was said to be scheduled FOR TO-
day.

LICENSE FEE VOTE
AGAIN NEGATIVE

Another Intellectual attempt. the
second in week, was made last
night by Mayor Brock, of Kearny. to
have the saloon license fees in the
town increased from $500 to $500 each.
Councilman James j. McAteer, presi-
dent of the council, who presided while
the mayor pleaded for the passage Of
the ordinance providing for the fee
increase, questioned the legality in
the matter of the ordinance being
brought up at an adjourned meeting
after 1t had been defeated at the in
itial session.
Mayor Brock assured President Nc
Ateer he had the opinion of the town
counsel, Edward Kenny, that the
procedure was legal. Mr.. McAteer
then allowed the question to be pro-
ceeded with. Mayor Brock, in urging
the passage of the measure, made a
practical reiteration of the arguments
advanced by him at the last meeting.
His pleadings were in vain, however,
for the vote when called was similar
to that taken at the last meeting
Councilmen Davis, Anderson, Nc
Ateer and Torrance. from the SOUTH
ern end ~ the town, and Councilman
Pierce of the Arlington section, voted
mo" while Brock and Councilman
Chapman, Bryan and Anderson were
recorded in the affirmative.
Whether or not the mayor will
make any further effort to have the
ordinance passed Is not known. 1t is
not belieyed that he will have suffi-
cient influence to change the vote of
any of the councilmen who have thus
far opposed the measure.

WIFE Of WALSH
TELLS OF GRAFT
Takes Stand Against Former
inspectors of N. Y. Police
to Aid Husband.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The wife of
Thomas W. Walsh. ex-police captain
whose revelations have been the foun-
dation of the district attorneys
prosecution of members of the police
force charged with graft. took the
stand today at the trial of the four
former inspectors. Sweeney, Murtha,
Thompson and Hussey. Mrs. Walsh
was called to confirm the statements
made In the witness chair yesterday
by her husband.
Walsh testified that his wife was
present when he discussed with
Sweeney a plan to keep George A.
Sipp, a hotelkeeper who had paid
the police protection money, out Of
the county so that he could not APP
pear as witness against a patrol
man under arrest for collecting graft.
Mrs. Walsh, her husband said,
handled part Of the money he raised
and turned over to Sweeney to stop
the mouths of witnesses.
The alleged conspiracy to bride Sipp
to leave the city is the basis of the
Indictment upon which the four ex-
inspectors are being tried. 1t was
thought that the prosecution might
close its case today.

HOLY NAME MEN
At ANNUAL DINNER
East Orange Society Praised
by Mayor Julian A.
Gregory.

The Holy Name Society Of the
Church of Our Lady Help of Chris
tians. of East Orange. held its an
nual dinner in English's hall last
night. The Rev. Edward NJ. Farrell
the acting rector of the church,
acted as POSTMASTER.
Addresses were made by George j.
Holey, president of the society;
Stephen j. Horgan, member OF the
state Board of Education, Mayor Jul
Ian A. Gregory, of East Orange; the
Rev Thomas Mcmillan, of Plattsburg,
N. u. Professor James c. Monaghan.
of the University of Wisconsin;
Frank Keenan,. the well-known actor,
and DR.. George r. Ambrose. Letters
of regret were received from Martin
]. Conboy and the Rev. John p. Cal
laghan, the rector of the church.
Mr.. Morgan attacked the modern
newspaper In straight language. He
INQUIRED: What is news?" Then he
went on to tell how the papers of the
day vie with each other in printing
stories of violations of one of the Ten
Commandments. Much of the crime
in the country today" he said, "is the
result of infiamed minds, made so by a.
daily perusal of stories Of vice and
crime. The salvation of the modern
paper is to know nothing about the
Ten Commandments.
1.-THE news of today is history OF
how the people broke the Ten Com
mandments in the preceding twenty
four hours. Apply the acid test to q
yellow journal and you will soon learn
why the young should not be allowed
to read such papers" Mr.. Horgan
exhibited the front pages of several
prominent New York dailies, and by
co1ors showed that almost the entire
sheet was taken up with a recital OF
crime.
Mayor Gregory paid tribute to the
Holy Name Society. II feel that the
city of East Orange is to be congrat-
ulated that there is such a society as
the Holy Name Society in It's midst,
an organization which is willing to go
out and parade to exemplify the high
est ideal in Christendom. Think or
the example it means to thousands
and thousands of men who never,
never think of our Saviour, who gave
IN His life for us, and it means a
great deal for America, for the State
and for the city that we have a Holy
Name Society, led by such man as
Father Farrell"

MAYOR LEADS HOT
FIGHT AGAINST COP
kearny Officials Are Divided on
PatroIman's Suit for Back
Salary.

Led by Mayor Louis M. Brock. six
Kearny couneilmen last night voted
to fight to the Court of Errors and
Appeals the suit brought by PATROL
man Jeremiah Sawyer for the re-
covery of back pay in accordance
with the provisions of an act ac-
copied by the voters of the town
at the election of 1909.
That the council intended to fight
the case was exclusively stated in
the Evening Star on Tuesday.
Mayor Brock contended that the
voters did not understand just what
the act meant when they voted in
favor of it.
councilmen John e. Anderson,
Robert e. Torrance, Walter r. Chap
man, Daniel D. Bryan, Knowlton F..
Pierce and Alfred B. Anderson,
though saying very little regarding
the roposition, voted as the mayor
requested
Opposition to the action was Of
fered by Councilmen James j. Nc
Ateer and William F. Davis. Mr..
McAteer has championed the cause
of the police all during the strug-
gle. He contends that the voters
we'll knew the exact meaning of the
law.
He bases his contention on the fact
that the bill was thoroughly adver-
tised in several newspapers for weeks
prior to the election at which the
act was accepted.
1T knew what / was voting for
when / recorded my vote in favor of
the BILL" said Mr.. McAteer land for
that reason 1 have and will continue
to stand by my guns in this matter
"We'll lose the suit. anyhow. and
what's the use of having court action
and spending the peoples money!"
asked Councilman Davis.
The action of the council in decid-
ing to fight the case caused consid-
cradle discussion in the town today.
The contention of Mayor Brock that
the voters did not understand what
they were voting for was considered
by many as an insult to their intel
ligence.
