NEWARK CHEATED
OF WATER RENTS,
INSPECTORS SAL
Meters Tempered With IN Man
Dwellings and Arrests Are
Expected.

Arrests may follow a joint polio
department and water department in
vestigation into charges that the cit
has been cheated out of thousands
dollars by persons who have tampere
with water meters. Chief Aoeountan
David Holmes, of the water depart
ment, had the police take finger
print photographs yesterday of one q
the dials which is declared to hav
been altered.
During the last month Mr.. Home
received an unusual number Of re
ports to the effect that the glass i
water meters had been broken. Th
reports were made by inspectors. NJ
Holmes then ordered his inspector
to make weekly visits to those place
where broken glass had been fount
Every reading of the broken glass
meters was scrutinlzed. Many read
ings showed large decrease in con
sumption of water.
Mr.. Holmes then brought the atten
ton of the police department to tn
alleged tampering with the meter
Several detectives are now workin
with Mr.. Holiness men. One OF tn
inspectors yesterday inspected
meter in Prince street. There, he re
ported, he saw that the dial read 20
600 less than at the time OF his Wis
a week previous.
When this information was impari
ed to Mr.. Holmes he ordered the dla
brought to the City Hall. There h
found evidence tending to show. h
believes, that some persons finger
had pushed back the figures on tn
dial. A photograph showing finger
prints on the dial was made by tn
police. 1t is believed that this clu
will lead to arrests.
Only last week, Mr.. Holmes sayi
he discovered other persons We're Us
ing various means to cheat the cit
of its water rent. An owner OF
house would order the meter take
ont and then connect the buildln
with an adjoining house, the meter 9
which was on a straight sale basis
Mr.. Holmes has several dozen iar9
properties under investigation. y
has ordered all of the meters brougl
to the City Hail, where photograpi
have been taken of each. 1t is saf
nearly all show prints.

form of a red-hot speech in favor Of

the leaders, who are behind the ticket,
headed by the shrievalty candidate.
Eugene r. Kinkead, and there was
considerable surprise in the camp last
night at McGovern's speech. To make
matters worse almost all of the Kin
kead ticket candidates were present
to hear the remarks.
McGovern pointed out to his listen
ers that the Twelfth district was the
only section of the State in which g
real fight was being made against the
return of the present Congressman in
the present critical situation. He
added that the voters owed ii to
themselves to return Hamill to Wash

the place at the present situation
Efforts were made today to pull
McGovern away from Hamili but his
answer to the ENJOYS of the leaders"
was in the shape of a reply that he
would speak at the meetine that

Fifth wards in the city are arranging

C. O.P. TO FIGHT
TAX ON FREIGHT
IN REVENUE BILL
Republicans Predict Confusion
Will Result CaIifornians
Aroused Over Wine Levy.
BY the United Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Republi-
today for an attack on the emergency
revenue war tax" bill, agreed upon
by Democrats OF the ways and means
committee yesterday The first gun
fired will be a strong minority report
from the committee.
1t was learned today that the
Democratic proposal to tax all rail-
road freight three per cent of the
freight bill will meet with vigorous
Republican opposition, and there is
also an undercurrent of opposition
among a coterie of Democrats.
Republican Leader Mann has told
his colleagues that the Democratic
revenue plan is subject to severe
criticism. Mann has expressed the
opinion that freight tariffs may have
to be rewritten under the Demo-
cratic scheme or else the railroads
will be put In the position of a tech
nical violation of the interstate COM
merce laws by charging more than
has oeen set out in their rates.
Republicans see in the Democratic
plan an opportunity for great con-
fusion in accounting. taking into
consideration the thousands of claims
handled by railroads on overcharged
freight shipments. California Repub-
licans are aroused over the proposal
to tax domestic wines twenty cents a
gallon. Representative Hayes will
lead the opposition. He contends that
much of the wines in California sell
for 10 to 25 cents per gallon at the
mandatory and that a twenty cent
tax will put many wine men out OF
business.
1t is expected that Leader Under-
wood will introduce the revenue bill
today and it will be formally reported
by the Democrats of the ways and
means committee. If trouble is met
in putting the measure promptly
through, the House rules committee
will furnish q rule to limit debate.
