CITY GETS S168,92O
FROM TROLLEY TAX
Public Service Railway Com
pany Sends Check to City
Comptroller Parnnly.

City Comptroller Tyler Parmly to-
day received a check for $16S. .920. .13
from the Public Service Railway
Company which represents tax of
8 per cent. which the railway COM
pany pays on the total receipts of the
railway lines operating in this city.
The tax is paid by a special agree
ment between the city and company
entered into years ago when the city
gave the railway company permission
to substitute electric driven vehicles
for the horse drawn cars. The COM
pany agreed to pay per cent. of the
total receipts of all the lines operat-
ing in Newark for this privilege.
The total receipts on which a local
tax is paid also are figured on per-
centage basis as several of the lines
operate in other cities and have to
pay taxes there. The percentage OF
receipts paid by each line to Newark
is proportionate to the length of that
line in this city and the local business
it conducts.

OSBORNE ISSUES
Ex- Senator Says He Will Give
Formal Answer Probably
Tomorrow.
SAYS HE CAN'T SEE ANY
BENEFIT OF JOINT DEBATE
Will Define His Stand on Gov
ernorship Situation at Moose
Meet July "a.

Former Senator Everett Colby,
when seen at his home in Llewellyn
Park today by a reporter for the Eve
ming Star. would not say whether he
would accept the challenge of Ed
mund B. Osborne to speak from the
same platform during the Progress
sive gubernatorial campaign. Mr..
Osborne addressed a letter to the for
mer Senator today, inviting him to
debate the issues of the campaign
with him.
The former senator had not received
Mr.. Osborne's letter when seen by the
reporter, but declared that he would
probably reply to it tomorrow for
mally.
From the drift of Mr.. Colby's talk
1t was cleaned that he would refuse
to accept Mr.. Osborne's challenge to
a joint debate of the campaign issues.
Speaking casually of the debating of
political issues, Mr.. Colby remarked
that he did not think there was any
thing to be gained by it and men
toned a debate in former cam
paign which he had with former
Senator Thomas ]. Hillery. of Nor
ristown.
The former senator was busily en-
gagged writing his platform when the
reporter called. A large meeting had
been planned for July "a to be held
in Newark, he declared, at which he
would be the principal speaker AT
that time, he said, he will define his
stand on the gubernatorial situation
and following the meeting his plat
form will be announced.
When informed by the reporter that
a big meeting for Governor James F.
Fielder in Newark was being planned
for that night, Mr.. Colby said, Il am
glad you told me that" and added
"however, l don't think that will in
terfere with us in any way"
Mr.. Colby intimated that he would
not make an extended campaign foI
the governorship. He had not sought
the nomination, he asserted, but had
been asked to make the run by his
many friends in all parts of the State
Mr.. Osborne, on his return from. a

dinance recently passed by the Com
mon Council prohibiting motorcycle
racing was perfectly explicit, mas
much as it prohibits any and all
speed demonstrations for pecuniary
! or other gain except for the purpose
of sale, and carries with it a penalty
of a fine of $50, or ten days imprison-
ment, or both.
The officials of the track have beer
notified by the police that the race
will not be permitted, but the man
agement insists that an attempt will
be made to hold the affair in order

the attempt to hold the affair will be
made, and it is understood that ar
rangements have been made to place
under arrest the riders, officials OF
the track and it's management imme'

take personal charge of the affair. and
after the men are arrested they viii
all be brought to the. station house
where they will be slated and then
paroled for their appearance in the

row morning
Acting Chief Ryan will probably
be on hand when the race starts, but
he will have nothing to do with the

BANK FAILURES
WILL Be PROBED
Government Official Declares
Pittsburgh Collapse Was Due
to Mismanagement.

PITTSBURGH, July S.-Financial
Pittsburgh showed little outward ev-
idence today of yesterdays crash in
banking circles involving the failure
of the First Second National Bank,
with $32,0O0,oO0 of deposits, the First
National Bank of McKeesport, an al
lied institution, and the appointment
of receivers for the American Water
Works and Guarantee Company, the
largest concern of its kind in the
country, and for the banking houses
of j. S. and w. S. Kuhn, Inc.
No unusual scenes were observed
about other banks of the city with
the exception of the Pittsburgh Bank
for Savings, another bank controlled
by ]. S. and w. s. Kuhn, who con-
trolled the ma jority of the stock in
the two banks that suspended yester-
day. The run on the savings insti-
tuition that was started by the fail
ures yesterday was resumed this
morning, possibly in somewhat larger
magnitude, but the same method as
adopted yesterday was pursued to-
day. All depositors were paid $50 at
once and notice of thirty, sixty and
ninety days for larger amounts were
required.
With the assurance of several mill
ions in cash and quick assets on
hand, the run on this bank is not
looked upon as likely to result seri-
ously; in fact, bankers with no i'm
mediate connection with the Kuhn
institutions assert that the savings
bank will weather the situation and
make all payments as demanded, un-
der the conditions imposed, with the
result that at the expiration of the
time of notice for withdrawal of the
large amounts the public confidence
will be restored.
J. S. and w. S. Kuhn this morning
resigned as president and vice-presi-
dent, respectively, of the Pittsburgh
Bank for Savings, at which the run
is being directed. The following off,
GERS were elected to take charge of
the bank: w. ]. Jones, president; L,
M. Plumer, vice-president; A. N.
Voegtley, secretary and treasurer
Shortly after noon 1t was apparent
that the run on the Pittsburgh Bank
for Savings had been spent, at least
for the day. The resignation of j. B.
Kuhn and w. S. Kuhn from all con-
nection with the bank was announced
shortly before.

Association is called for later in the
day, at which every member has beea
urged to be present. No intimation

PRESIDENT FACES
DEATH ON YACHT
FROM PROJECT|LE
Twelve-Inch Shot from Proving
Grounds Passes PerilOusly
Near MayflOwer.

NORFOLK, Va July SIT was
learned today that the yacht May
flower, with President Wilson on
board, came near being struck by a
projectile last Thursday while pro-
ceeding up the Potomac to Washing
ton.
The shell was fired from the Indian
Head proving grounds and is said to
have fallen close to the Mayfiower.
It was fired, reports say, from a
twelve inch gun that was being test
ed.
The President is said not to have
lost his composure. He is quoted as
saying however, that the testing of
guns in the Potomac was dangerous
to navigation.
While both the officers of the Presi-
dents yacht Mayflower and officials
of the navy department were reticent
today concerning the near accident
to the vessel 1t is believed an investi-
cation of the affair will be ordered.
1t was declared today that the shell
itself passed over the Mayflower at
a safe height but that the danger was
caused by the dislodgement from the
shell of the rotating band. circlet
of steel IL inches wide which fell close
to the vessel So loud was the screech
of the shot that the Mayflower's crew
are said to have rushed on deck to
ascertain the trouble.
At the time President Wilson WAS
said to be sitting on the after deck
with DIR. Cary L. Grayson, his physi-
clan.
Numerous protests have been made
in the past against the firing of the
big guns at Indian Head. River cap
tains declare the lives of their pas
sengers and crews are endangered by
the trials and, although no accidents
have yet occurred contend that there
have been many narrow escapes from
disaster

per cent. of the members of the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors out of 1858 participating in
strike vote in the wage dispute with
the Eastern railroads are In favor
of a strike.
These figures were announced to-
day at joint meeting of union rep
resentatives and committee of rail-
road managers.
When the conference convened the
Erie railroad announced that ii had
withdrawn from the proceedings, on
the ground that 1t would be unable to
meet any advance which might re-
suit
This practically invites a strike.
The Erie statement, signed by j.
c. Stuart. vice-president, says in
part:
Similar proceedings in the past
have resulted in increased wages, and
while 1t may be possible for some
roads to meet these increases the
Erie railroad is not in position to do
so at present. The wage increase
demand amounts to 20 per cent, or
a total annual cost on the basis of
present figures, of practically $780,
OO0."
The Erie says it is willing to con-
slider wages and conditions of indi-
viduals, but will not agree to any
general increase to any class of en-
p1oyees at the sacrifice of needed
safety appliances and improved
equipment.

QU|N[AN TAKEN TO
PRISON SHACKLED
TO NEGRO CONVICT
Sentenced Strike Leader Says
He Is Victim of Official
Persecution.

Handcuffed to negro convict, Pat
rick H. Quinlan, the l. w. w. leader,
sentenced to State prison, was brought
to this city today en- route for Tren-
ton. The leader appeared downcast
over the refusal of Judge Klenert to
accept the $1,000 bail offered for his
release yesterday, pending an appeal
from sentence.
Quinlan declared he was being
"railroaded to JAIL but expected to
regain his freedom within a week by
which time his lawyers would secure
writ of habeas corpus. He Is under
sentence to serve from two to seven
years in State prison and pay fine
of $500, following his conviction of in
citing a riot.
1.-The sudden determination of Prose-
cutor Dunn to have me sentenced last
Thursday was purely spite work.
said Quinlan bitterly as he was wait
ing in the Market street station of
the Pennsylvania Railroad today.
you remember the jury was out de-
liberating in the trial of Elizabeth
IuIlty II lynn Oli Iit oditiC Niiai o.
when I walked into the court room at
Paterson. My attorneys and l ex-
pected that we would receive at least
three days notice before sentence was
imposed, so as to give us an oppor-
tunity to make an appeal and secure
bail in the meantime.
Court Refuses Request.
although my lawyer argued with
Judge Klenert that the sudden SEN
tence on the day before the Fourth
of July would leave me with no al
tentative than to go to jail the court
refused to give me any consideration
Those who had been following the
cases of the l. w. w. leaders at the
time of Quinlan's sentence recalled
that Quinlan had made a bitter
speech before the strikers a day pre-
vious In which he said several un-
complimentary things about Prose-
cutor Dunn, Judge Klenert and other
Passaic County officials. The day
after this fiery speech he was taken
into custody as soon as he appeared
in court and his sentence moved by
the prosecutor.
Attorneys for Quinlan succeeded in
obtaining a write of error, which
was served on Judge Klenert in
Paterson yesterday. Three bonds
men who offered to furnish bail for
the leader were rejected, as the
property they offered as security was
either mortgaged or partly owned by
the wives of the prospective bonds
men.
During his short stay in the county
Jail at Paterson Quinlan has already
acquired prison pallor. His
clothes were badly wrinkled, his hair
dishevelled and the leader had sew
eral days growth of beard on his
face.
"Of Course. I'll Get Out"
"Of course I'll get out of Trenton
prison within few days" said
Quinlan, making a wry face, but
they'll shave off my hair down there
and succeed in making me look like
a convict before I'm released. That
will just satisfy those who have been
prosecuting me-" he concluded bit
