as to make arrests to compel pay
ments. The full amount of s1.53
must be paid, according to law,
whether payment is made to Mr..
Connolly or at the Office of the col

at Runyon.

1t is the determination of the
Board of Water Commissioners to
supply the residents in the north
western section of the city with abun-
dant water by July Is, and last
night at an adjourned meeting they
awarded the contract for the erection
OF the tseel standpipe in that vicin-
ity to increase the water pressure.
Bids were received from four con-
tractors last night, and immediate
ly the committee of the whole went
into session and decided to award
the contract to the Chicago Iron
Works, they being the lowest bid
ders, submitting an estimate of $11,-
460 for the work. j. K. Petty and
Company of Philadelphia, we're the
next lowest with an estimate of SILL
685 The latter were the lowest bid
ders when the first estimates we're re
ceiyed for the work
Though the Board OF Water Com
missioners have net as yet finally
selected the lot or lots on which the
tank will be erected, the site will be
secured, 1t is believed, within the
next two weeks so that the construc-
tion of the standpipe may be started
without further delay The property
under consideration by the board
lies along Branch avenue, where the
tank will stand. According to the
contract the work shall be completed
within seventy working days from
the time the contract is signed. The
tank will be eighty feet high, forty

The board decided to advertise for
bids for the sinking of test artesian
we'll at Runyon, approximately 500
feet deep, the estimates to be re-
ceived by the body at the first meet
ing next month, May 6. The speci-
flcations for the work prepared by
City Engineer Mason were approved.
They call for well six inches in di-
ameter with wrought-iron piping to
be sunk approximately 600 feet with
in fifty working days, The estimates
are to be submitted at so much foot
for the first 500 feet and so much

will be made at 200 feet, and at diff
ferent stratas where water is To-
Gated An inspector will be EN-
ployed by the board and tests made
at any depths desired. The city en-
gineer believes that by striking deep

RAMSAY IGNORES
ECAN's ATTACK
Tilt Over Senate Bill for Opto-
metristS' Board.

Though Senator William K. Ram
say was scored by Senator Charles
M. Egan yesterday at the conference
held by the governor on the senate
bill. providing for state board of
optometrists, Or. Ramsay did not
reply to the verbal assault. In
speaking Of the reported tilt between
he and the Hudson county senator
this morning, Senator Ramsay said:
L did not reply to the attack be-
cause 1t WAS so undignified that 1t
was unworthy OF recognition.
Senator Edge favored the signing
OF the measure by the governor, but
DR.. Ramsay and other prominent
physicians OF the state opposed 1t.
because they believe that a licensed
optometrist should have suffSient
medical knowledge to determine
from what original cause the pa
TENTS eye defects originated. Sen
ator Ramsay said that the proposi-
ton to license optometrists had been
before five or six different legisla-
lures and In each instance had been
defeated. He remarked that he had
been practictng medicine for twenty
six years and notwithstanding his
long experience in the profession did
not feel qualified to practice opto-
metry because he had not been suffi-
GENTLY trained in that particular
phase of the medical profession. He
added that sufficient training was
lacking on the part of many of those
favoring the proposition. Governor
Fielder took the bill under consid-

F A|NILY ESCAPES
IN FIRE; PANIC
Cry of Fire at Dance Causes a
Small Panic Last Night.

A family of three was stiAed by
smoke and a small panic created in
Goodwill hall at the ball of the Nc
Clellan Engine Company as the re
suit of fire that damaged one of
the rooms in the apartments of Max
Mendals at 204 New Brunswick ave-
nue. about II O'Clock last night, fill
ing with smoke the bedroom in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Mendals and son
were asleep.
But for the quick action of Louis
Koplowitz and Alexander Weiss who
were near the scene, the little family
may have been sLffocated. On
learning of the fire through the cries
of a small boy who saw Mendals
store filled with smoke, they ran to
the place and breaking through the
big glass front door, awakened the
sleepers and retarded the fire by
beating out the flames, which were
spreading through the apartments.
The damage sustained before the
firemen arrived and extinguished the
flames with chemicals amounted to
not more than $50, and the place was
fully insured
The fire bell rang in the midst of
waltz at Goodwill hall, when the
firemen of the Mcclellan company,
logged in dress uniforms, were
swinging their lady friends to the
strains of an orchestra.
Fire Chief O'Hara was on the
floor as were Assistant Chiefs Woit-
scheck and Tooker. The bell was
not heard at first and a noise down
IN,
the windows. The cry of Fire"
was heard, at which seventy-five or
more firemen started from the hall
as one man. The whole gathering
of 400 seemed to make rush for
the doors, and excitement was in
tense. The erstwhile dancers push
ed and showed their way out, though
no one is said to have been Sc
riously hurt.
AS il the Hebrew custom. a ker-
osene lamp was left on table in a
room next his bedroom, when Mr..
Mendals retired early with his fam
lily. The lamp fell from the table,
from what cause Mr. Mendals could
not tell. The oil spilled over the
floor from the body of the lamp,
which was smashed. Some groceries
on the table caught fire, as did a
sack of meal. The fire burned slow
ly, but caused much smoke, which
filled the room and issued into the
bedroom adjoining where Mr.. Men
dals says he and his family were
asleep. When the young men en-
tered the place after breaking
through the door, Mr.. Mendals was
stiied as were the other members
of the family. They, however, soon
revived when they reached fresh air

salutes the American flag with
tWenty-one guns and announces he
will do so before O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon, this country will take
steps to force him to do so. This
was announced at the White House
this afternoon when the President
stated that II Huerta has not yielded
by that time he will take the matter
to congress in person next Monday.
This announcement was made fol-
lowing receipt of telegram from
Mexico. Secretary of State Bryan
and Secretary Tumulty rushed post

with Huerta's message to President
Wilson, who was playing golf in

Inasmuch as the President has
authority to use the army and navy

Following Secretary Bryan's partial
announcement Secretary of the Navy
Daniels divulged the remainder of
Mayo's letter. In this message he en-
phatically told the Mexican command
ell that the seizure of the United States
