SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Feb. g.
Subpoenas served on John L. Howard,
president of the Western Fuel Com
pany, and other officers of the cor
pora ton, summoning them to appear
on Friday before the United States
grand jury, announced the beginning
of a Federal investigation irto an al
legged customs fraud similar to the
sugar trust weighing cases in New
York.
According 10 government officials

six years or more. IN the suopOenas
issued the officials of the fuel om-
rany are directed 10 bring to the
grand jury al, books of the corpora
ton showing the business transa c-ed
since 1906.
The tariff of 1909 imposed a tax Of
A. cents a ton on foreign coal, with
the provision that this tax be re-
mitted in case the coal is used b :
American ships. 1t is charged that
when the Pacific mail steamers TOOK

oeived and the coal company was
enabled thereby to collect a larger
drawback" from the government.

MARCONI WIRELESS TO
ENCIRCLE THE GLOBE

NEW YORK, Feb. "a globe
girdling system of wireless telegraph
stations is projected by the Marconi
Wireless Telegraph Company, accord
ing to plans which have been an
nounced. Contracts for eight wire
less telegraph stations, to be the
largest and most powerful in the
world, have just been awarded to
the ]. G. White Engineering Cor
poration.
The stations will be from 1000 to
6, 600 miles apart, and will be located
in pairs. the receiving and sending
stations being separated by thirty
miles Stations will be built at
Oshu, near Honolulu. Sandwich
Islands; Tamales Bay and Bolinas.
Cal: near Belmar. n. J., and in
Eastern Massachusetts. They will
form part of system which will
continue to the East to Japan, and
thence ultimately to India, and will
continue to London via Cairo, Egypt.
The hollow steel poles for these
stations will be 400 feet high and
in some instances may go to 45o feet
as high as the Palisades. The
antennae with which these wireless
stations will be equipped will aggre-
gate eighty-two miles in length. and
the grounding requires forty miles
Of ploughed-in wires. The power
plant of these stations is arranged
to give thousand horsepower spark.
The stations must all be attuned
to different notes to keep from inter-
fering with each other and with ex-
isting stations.

Orange can light its municipal
buildings with current furnished by
the city electric lighting plant II d
cost of $1,000 a year less that is now
paid 10 the Public Service Corpora
ton. according TO a rsport of City
Engineer Berg. TO the street and

The city at present pays about
s., 500 for lighting buildings. Mr.. Berg
added that when the new City Hall
and school building in the rear Of

city will have to pay about $500. He
believes that current for all the build
ing from the municipal plant could
be furnished for 81 465. which would

"PHTHISIS WORSE
THAN SMALLPOX"
Speaker at Meeting in Orange
Warns Against Indifference
to White Plague.

Recalling to their minds the high
state of alarm that prevailed in
Orange several years ago when a
few cases of smallpox broke out in
the city, necessitating the construc-
ton of an isolation hospital, raising
a howl of protest and otherwise
rufling the calm spirit of the COM
munity, former Judge Thomas A.
Davis. speaking at the tuberculosis
exhibit in the Orange High School
last night, told of the ravages of the
white plague in the city, and the gen
eral body of residents absolutely I'M
concerned over the insidious dan
gers at their doors.
The harm of smallpox, he assured
his audience, was relatively small as
compared with the suffering and I'M
timely death of hundreds of persons
who suffer with tubercular ailments.
Bridgewater NJ Arnold, president
of the Orange Board of Health, told
of close association of work of the
Health Board with the Anti-Tubercu-
losis League. which arranged for the
Orange exhibit, and spoke of regis
tration of cases. free distribution of
sputum cups, disinfection and other
preventive arrangements as illus
trated at the exhibit.
Tuberculosis in Orange has long
been a special health problem, owing
to the predisposing effect OF the hat
ting industry" said Mr.. Arnold, land
also on account of the presence of a
large negro and Italian population,
iaJl
disease. During 1912 the death rate
of the negro population from tuber-
culosis was more than three times
that of the white population. Not
withstanding the difficulties we have
to contend with the tuberculosis
death rate in Orange has decreased in
five years from q to 20 per 10000 of
population, and the outlook is bright
for a still further reduction.
DR.. Morris Farkas. West Orange
health officer, and DR.. Willard Knowl-
ton, State inspector, also spoke and
moving pictures were shown.
A special program tonight will be
for the Italian residents. Father
John j. Rongetti, pastor of Our Lady
of Mt. Carmel Church. will preside
and the speakers will include DR.
Carlo d. Martinetti and DIR. Federico
Luongo, the latter of the Orange
Board of health. Tomorrow night
will be for the negroes Of the city
" it'll the Rev. DR.. Lawrence presiding
and James f. Churehman, DIR. w. C.
Alexander and p A. Comes, secre-
tary of the colored branch of the 7.
NJ. C. A., as speakers.
The exhibit will move to the Orange
Valley Lyceum next week and on
Tuesday night Father John f. Boy
Ian will be chairman Of the gather
irg. The official circular states that
Mayor S. A. Muta, of West Orangeg,
will be the speaker.

URGES DR.. MUTA To
RETURN AS MAYOR
Flood of Letters Pours in on
West Orange Executive
Who Quit.

That DR.. Samuel A. Muta, who re-
signed as mayor of West Orange on
Tuesday night, when six of his col
leagues in the Town Council ignored
persistent demands of Fifth ward
residents that the saloon at the
terminus of the Valley road trolley
line be kept closed, and granted a
license to Samuel Morlock. may re-
consider his action, is believed by
residents and taxpayers today.
A flood of letters followed the news
yesterday Of the sensational de-
parture Of the popular official from
the council chamber amid the en-
thusiastic plaudits of women and
men, who gave approval of his ac-
ton.
At his home today Dr. Muta adj
mitted he was impressed by the argu-
ments offered by his constituents He
has not, however, reconsidered his
action, but it was whispered about in
official circles that reconsideration Of
the councils action in granting the
license and an investigation of the
objections raised by the officials and
OlttTS dSdlilsl ItOpSitiilB ttiC SdloDll'
would result in Strengthening out the
tangle and restoring the mayor to
his office.
William Read Howe. former town
attorney; Stephen d. Riddle, George
Ritter and other well-known citizens
sent letters to the mayor, and among
their arguments was the suggestion
that he might do better work for the
community by remaining in the Coun-
Gil to fight Objectionable conditions in
saloons than by retiring to private
life.
AS many of the councilmen will at
tend subcommittee meetings tomor-
row night at the Town Hall it is
likely q special session of the body
may be decided upon when a sue
cessor TO Mayor Muta will be chosen
if he declines to reconsider his resig-
nation. A petition to have the mayor
return to his post is soon to be pre-
scented to him, and all sorts of pres
sure will likely be exerted to end the
unpleasant situation which is the first
serious breach of harmony in the ad-
ministration in more than two years
the physician has been mayor.

SS0,332 FIRE LOSS IN
EAST ORANGE LAST YEAR

There were 134 alarms answered by
East Orange fire companies last year,
according TO the annual report of
Fire Chief William E. Markwith to
the Fire Board and Mayor Gregory.
OF this number eighty were still
alarms. A decrease of eight from
last year is reported. The total loss
for the year was $50, 1872, fully covered
by insurance.
Chief Markwith again recommends
the erection of a new fire house in
the vicinity Of Walnut street and
Springdale avenue, and asks for an
automobile pump engine and hose
apparatus to be used at headquar-
tiers. He praises the work of auto
mobile apparatus but says If they
cannot be secured a new chemical
engine should be purchased for No.
Company, as it's apparatus is in an
unsafe condition. He also asks for
an automobile for himself and more
men.

SHOULD TWO DOCTORS
GET PAID FOR ONE JOB ?

DR.. Frank B. Lockwood, former
city physician of East Orange. has
raised a novel legal question through
sending a bill to the finance com
mittee amounting to 1915 for services
from January ID to January Il, Dr.
George c. Beckett, the new city physi-
clan. qualifying on the latter date.
AS a result City Attorney Borden d.
Whiting has been asked by Mayor
Gregory 10 decide whether two men
can be paid salary for one office
DR.. Beckett having already been paid.
Between January / and 10 DR.. Lock-
wood received poor patients, and as
the City Council had failed to con-
firm any of the new appointees up
to that date it was decided to pay
DR.. Lockwood his bill of s17.47. The
finance committee, however, decided
not to approve of the second bill, and
now Mr.. Whiting is to decide whether
the physician has any right to the
claim.
