FIGHT AGAINST
PUBLIC SERVICE
IN COURT TODAY
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Sp6c3ut 10 tHS ~ Y ENINt NE WS.
Newark, Dec. 1:-Final hearing
on the temporary restraining order
granted to the Public Service trac-
ton interests to enable them to make
connection On their fast line trolley
system at Sewaren, was on before
Vice Chancellor Howell In the court
of chancery here this morning. The
argument resolved itself into a ques-
ton of law rather than facts, the
facts being apparent. The hearing
was concluded when the vice chan
cellor gave counsel on both sides
time for presentation of briefs.
Township Attorney Ephraim Cut
ter, Councilmen Joseph Gill and
James P. Gerity, Township Engineer
Marsh and the township clerk were
among those on hand from Wood
bridge to look after the townships
interest. e. A. Armstrong appeared
as coansel for the Public Service.
The only witnesses put on the
stand for the traction interests were
Division Engineer e. c.. MacDougall
and John M. Daily, the latter Mid
dlesex county man. The hearing was
brief and came to an end when pro-
FlSiOu Was uldu0 LOT CU6 ming Oh
briefs.
The action is the result of radical
steps taken by officials of Wood
bridge Township to prevent employees
of the Public Service from making
a connection between the new fast
line track and the local line between
Woodbridge and Perth Ambcy, at a
point in Sewaren about July 1, last.
1t is charged that a steam roller
was placed in a position to prevent
the making of connection line and
that later employees were arrested by
township policemen. The Public
Service appealed to the chan
Gerry and obtained a temporary
restraining order to prevent the
township officials from further in
terfering with the traction work at
Sewaren. The connection was then
made and operation of the fast line
service between Newark and Perth
Amboy was started July 8.
Hearing upon appeal taken by the
township Of Woodbridge against the
order granted by the Public Utility
commissioners, permitting the Public
Service to lay tracks at Sewaren will
be held within short time
In the supreme court of the state.

BOND MARKET IS
BETTER So CITY
MAY SELL ISSUE
City Treasurer Seaman viii
Again Advertise for Sale OF
City Water Improvement
Bonds, Issued September |.

To test the reported easement in
the bond market and the strengthen
ing of financial confidence which the
opening of the New York Stock Ex-
change is said to have brought about,
City Treasurer Charles K Seaman
will this week again advertise for
sale of water improvement bonds,
issued September l, by the Board
of Water Commissioners. If these
bonds are sold it will clear the way
for the sale of several hundred
thousands of dollars of municipal
bonds, which has been upheld by the
stringency in money circles during
the past five or six months. Mr..
Seaman Is not over sanguine as to
the sale of the bonds, but thinks that
advertising the water bonds for sale
lis the best way to gauge actual bond
market conditions.
Because there has been practically
no market for municipal bonds dur
ing the fall, the Improvement bonds
issued by the water board we're not
sold; City Treasurer Seaman adver-
tised them for sale in vain. About a
dsO the DOdGu CIdScu
$4,000 worth OF it's own bonds from
money drawn from the sinking fund,
leaving $4,000 worth of the $780,
900 bond issue to be sold.
Because of the stringency In the
bond market during the past few
months, the Board of Aldermen have
been unable to sell bonds to meet
various improvements and have had
to secure hundreds of thousands of
dollars at six per cent. About a
month ago the city treasurer sold
temporary improvement certificates
amounting to $125,000 at six per
cent. because the condition of the
bond market precluded The sale OF
municipal bonds at the FIVE per cent.
maximum fixed by law The water
bonds only bear four and one-half
per cent.
If the sale of the water improve
ment bonds is effected municipal i'm
provement bonds to be issued by the
Board of Aldermen, 1t Is believed
can also be sold, thereby saving the
city hundreds of dollars, the differ
ence between the rate of interest that
is now paid on temporary loans and
temporary certificates, and the rate
which would be paid as premiums on
the improvement bonds.

COLLECTS $500
WAR TAXES HERE
IN SINGLE DAY
Chesebrough Manufacturing
Company May be Required
to Pay $1,000 to $4,000
Yearly in War Taxes.

Though about $1,100 in war taxes
were collected from this city yes
terday by Deputy Revenue Collector
James Curran, of New Brunswick,
there are still large number of de-
according to the deputy.
Yesterday was the last day to pay
the tax, but because of the short no.
tice given those assessed Mr. Curran
will receive the levies today without
requiring the additional fee of fifty
per cent imposed on tardy payers.
Amy person in the city operating
a place which is taxable under the
recent law passed by congress and
has not yet paid his assessment, may
do so at the Office of D. Spitzer and
Son at 1877 Smith street today, and
avoid being penalized. Mr.. Splitter
is assisting Mr.. Curran to collect
taxes in this city.
Stamp on Every Bottle or Tube.
Because of the stamp tax placed
on cosmetics, perfumery and semi
medicinal articles, the Chesebrough
Manufacturing Company will be re-
quired to place a stamp on every bot
tie or tube of vaseline it sells. These
stamps vary in value according to the
size of the package. If the package
sells at retail at five cents, a stamp
costing one-eighth of cent required
on the article.
This new taxation will mean an
enormous amount of revenue from
the local vaseline works for the gov
ernment, probably in year reach
ing $1,000 to $4,000.
Deputy Revenue Collector James
Curran was in South River last
night, and collected considerable war
taxes. The taxes collected from
South Amboy, Perth Amboy and New
Brunswick amount so far to about
$4,000. Those that do not pay their
taxes today will be penalized fifty
per cent additional for their delin-
quency.
Stamps were placed on promissory
notes at the different banks today,
and on many legal papers and official
documents, on bills of lading and
steamship tickets.
Telephone patrons using the pay
station booths were much surprised
when central requested that an addi-
tion cent be placed in the coin box
when the call amounted to fifteen
cents OF more. When the patron
asked the reason, central would tell
him that it was for Uncle Sam.

Of the most prominent workers to-
day was the selection of q treasurer
for the receipt of funds and the ap-
pointment of a small committee of
four or five persons to look after the
proper distribution of money and
supplies.
In speaking about methods of pro-
cedure today, Mayor Garretson said
it would be endeayored to carry on
the work in the most intelligent way.
AS have leading charity workers, he
let it be known that many who could
help themselves often came forward
to get something for nothing when
movement of this kind was started.
He emphasized that the main object
of the movement was to aid the real
ly needy during the severe parts of
the 1914-1915 winter Absence of
work has made it difficult for many
families and individuals to get along,

Mr.. Garretson. He Is not afraid that
any persons in the city will starve to
death, as the city will provide food
stuffs where necessary, but what will
be really needed when frosty weather
sets in is fuel, clothing and the like.
He said the committee might do good
work in paying rents occasionally to
prevent eviction.

He will make this early visit to take

ally to the Christmas tree fund being
raised by the EVENING NEWS.
1t Is a fine thing to be a friend
of Santa Claus and have him remem-
ber you, but it is still better to be a
Santa Claus helper. That is what
every child who gives anything to
the Christmas tree fund becomes

be little more generous this year
than formerly because of this assist
ance. One thing is sure, there will
be more happiness all around and
that will be worth a great deal.

Conference Last Night When It
Was Decided to Call Meeting
for Thursday Night With The
Playhouse Managers.

At a conference held last night by

cided to invite the proprietor or man
ager of every theatre in the city to

Ordered to Permit ships to Sail.

Spectdt 0y UHited Press Wtre.
London, Nov. II, via Mail to New
York-Admiral E. c. T. Troubridge,
commanding tne British Mediterran-
can squadron at the opening of the
war, was ordered to permit the Ger
man cruisers Goeben and Breslau
to successfully make their escape
from the straits of Messina. This is
the information that comes from un-
questionably authoritative source
which explains how Admiral Trou-
bridge happened to be acquitted when
court martialed for permitting the.
German war ships to elude him.
BY means of his lodge book and the
testimony of his flag lieutenant, his
secretary and his wireless operator,
the admiral was able to prove abso-
lutely that he had received a radio
gram in the British admiralty's se-
cret code, worded and signed in reg
ulation admiralty form, ordering him
to permit the Goeben and Breslau to
escape. Assuming that the admiralty
knew it's business and that it prob
ably had other plans for the disposal
of the vessels, he did not question
the order.
