LOCAL PLANT
IS ABSORBED
BY TILE TRUST
Architectural Tile & FaienCs
Company Taken Over by Amer
lean Encaustic Thing Concern
LITTLE CHANGE HERE
FOR PRESENT

The works and property of the Ar
chitectural Tile & Faience Company
in upper State street was yesterday
taken over by the American Encaus-
tic Tiling Company, Limited. of 16
East Fortieth street, New York city.
The new holding company is about
the largest tile manufacturing com
pany in existence, and is knowns as
the tile trust. It's absorption of the
local factory is simply another eX-
tension to its immense system. 1t is
unlikely that the new control will
cause any marked changes at the
local plant for the present at least.
The Architectural Tile & Faience
Company was established here in
June OF 1909 with A. w. Christiani as
its president; Captain Adolph Met
zner as chief chemist and w. B. Up
teEraff as general superintendent.
The plant was erected in six months
and the first shipment of product was
made in April of 1910. A speciality
was made in manufacturing white
wall tile and special pieces of interior
faience.
Nothing could be learned at the
works today concerning the transfer

Washington, Aug. 9.-The following
is printed In the Washington Times
from its correspondent In Mexico City:

The declaration of the Mexican gov

having reached the state department
officially, the situation with regard to
Mexico WAS admitted to be acute even
in the most conservative circles within
the administration.
Heretofore the president and Secre-
tary Bryan had clung to the belief that
either the statement reported in the
press dispatches was pure fabrica-
ton or else that it was issued for local
purposes only and was not intended to
reach the United States government
officially. Both of these views are now
dispelled, the statement having been
received at the state department
through the American embassy in
Mexico City.
Bryan Issues Statement.
BY direction of President Wilson,
Secretary Bryan issued the following
statement:
The statement of the Mexican for

alderman of the Second ward on the
Democratic ticket is being trans
ferred from hand to hand among the
voters in behalf of John w. Kelly,
vice president of the Kelly & Nc
Alinden Company at "A Smith street,
1t is believed that the young business
man will have no opposition in his
party, and it is known that he Is
favored by the leaders of the city s
Democracy.
1t Is felt certain that in a few days
Alderman John w. Kutcher's friends
will circulate a petition to place him
as a candidate for the party's nomt-
nation to make the race for council
man In the Fourth ward again, he
having already nearly completed one
term. Christ Jorgensen, OF Gil Ellz-
abeth street, is being strongly talked
of for the Democratic nomination TO
run for alderman in the Sixth ward.
Alderman Henry w. Sandbeck, Jr.,
and Alderman Fred A. Seaman, OF
the Second ward, who are serving
their second terms in office, will re-
tire, and as Kutcher and Jorgensen
are favored by influential Democrats
of the city, it is expected that they
will have no opposition. The circu-
lation of a petition in favor Of Jor-
gensen is looked for in few days.
No one has announced himself as the
Democratic candidate for nomination
to seek the office of excise commits
sioner, but an unimpeachable young
professional man of the city Is con

Fight for Alderman-at-Large.
The only contention seemingly in
the Democratic ranks for the city
offices Is that of aldermanat-large,
for which Office William ]. Leavy, OF
state street, and Fire Chief William
p. O'Hara have recently had petit
tions in circulation in an effort to
Gain the nomination at the primary

hearing Of Mr. Weaver's petition,
stated that he was going to continue
in the race nevertheless, and such
were the sentiments of Mr.. O'Hara.
The former said, I'm in to win,
and the latter said he was going to
stick until the primary. Leaders IN

APPOINT FOOD
INSPECTOR At
NEXT SESSION
Health Board Now Believed
to Have Found the Man
They Want.
HAS BEEN EMPLOYED BY
STATE BOARD

One of the many candidates seek
ing the appointment as food inspec-
tor in this city and one who Is likely
to be chosen at the next meeting of
the Board of Health Tuesday night
is Henry @. Hess, of Philadelphia.
President Harvey Sell has been in
communication with Mr.. Hess and he
will appear at the next session of the
commissioners to confer with them in
regard to the appointment. Mr.. Hess
is a doctor of veterinary medicine,
haing graduated from the University
of Pennsylvania. 1t it reported that
in a civil service examination held for
the chief meat inspector in Philadel-
phia, he was rated as the second
highest candidate. President Sell
I stated last night that this applicant
has been recommended to the local
board by the dean of the college from
which he is a graduate.
The president of the board Is con.
this city and believes that the other
for the position of food inspector in
vinced Mr.. Hess is the proper man
commissioners will feel the same way
| ing Tuesday night. 1t Is the opinion
of Mr.. Sell that the efficiency of the
board would be greatly strengthened
by the appointment of Mr.. Hess, who
for time was in the employ of the
New Jersey State Board of Health
examining cattle.
Because of the calibre Of the ap-
plicant, If chosen 1t is not likely that
he will be offered the salary former
inspectors here have been receiving.
The matter of salary will no doubt be
one of the main points of discussion
since his abilities are not likely to be
doubted.

Police Start Crusade to En-
force the Latest Supplement
to Excise Ordinance
BILLIARD ROOMS MUST
HAVE A LICENSE
All Pianos and Music Boxes
Must be Removed Hotels
TO Expose Registers.

Enforcement of the latest supple
ment to the excise ordinance means
that no music, singing, dancing or
other entertainment of any kind can
be conducted in liquor drinking
places without special permission
and that all public billiard establish
cording to Chief of Police Patrick j.
Burke. His men are now engaged in
the rigid enforcement of Its prov1-
sions. This will tend to remove
pianos, music boxes and the like
from all drinking places.
While the first article of the new
ordinance was intended to regulate
cabaret shows, it was so constructed
as to include music and entertain
ment of every kind. Consequently
pianos which have ben used In some
places for a score Of years, will
have to go unless application is made
to the board for a permit and 1t is
granted. The article states In part
that no music, dancing, singing, vau-
deville or other entertainment shall
be carried on in any room or hall di-
rectly connected with a bar room, or
In a room in which spirituous liq-
uors are sold and drunk.
Article No. 2 Of the supplement
provides for the rigid enforcement
of hotel laws and that a register
must be properly kept and exhibited
on demand The third article of the
ordinance provides that public bill
Hard establishments must be licens-
ed and pay license fee of $40 a
year.
Unless the law is observed 1mme-
diately arrests may follow and bill
lizard establishments will be closed.
