NEWARK GETSA
$125,OOO LOAN
Pays Six Per Cent. TO Bank Be-
cause Bond Issue Is Not
Possible.

City Comptroller Tyler Parmly to-
day borrowed in behalf of the city
$125,0O0 from the National Newark
Banking Company. Six per cent. was
the interest charged.
Previous to the European war, the
city was able to get large sums of
money at favorable rates by means
of bond issues. The rate then was
$50 and 4 per cent. AT that time,
the best records for many years were
broken.
The New Jersey law requires that
cities must not pay interest over five
per cent. Bonds are now bringing a
larger figure and it was necessary
for the city to secure the money by
borrowing from the local bank.
The money borrowed today viii
meet bond issue of S125,00O for
street improvements that falls due
today. This money was borrowed
on the strength of the collection of
local taxes.

Madis0nians Still Await

MADISON. Aug 24.-If there has
been any decision on the part of the
Board of Public Utility commission
ers of this State in the case of he
Lackawanna railroad against the
borough of Madison, in which the
railroad asks that they be not pre-
vented from laying temporary mar
row gauge tracks across Sampson
avenue, no Intelligence has reached
any Of the borough officials.
\. The utility commissioners heard
b1th sides of the question on Monday
August II. On the following day it
was intimated that the board ques-
toned its jurisdiction in the matter
and did not believe ii could decide
against the municipality. Citizens OF
this place are anxiously awaiting de-
velopments. as some think that on
the judgment of the commissioners
depends Madison's chance of secur-
Ing grade elimination and other i'm
provements here.
It is learned on reliable authority
that Madison will carry the case no
further if the board decides against
this town.

Germans Statements of
Belgians' Conduct in War
Are Protested to U. S.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-E. Have
NTH the Belgian minister, today COM
inundated a protest from his govern
ment to the stae department against
German statements of Belgium's con-
duct on the battlefield.
Germany has permitted many Of
her soldiers to slaughter the peace
full population, to burn down town
lets and villages, to threaten the civil
population with the greatest horrors,
says the protest. The list of atroci-
ties ascertained by an investigation
committee is already long. Belgium
will ask for an international investi-
CATION of the cruelties committed"
Mr. Havenith stated that reports of
recent official dispatches to him say
ing the Belgians were defeated by
superior German forces should have
stated they 'retreated' before super
ior German forces. There was no
suggestion of defeat in the telegram,
the minister said.

VERA CRUZ, Aug IA peaceful
settlement of the internal affairs of
the republic of Mexico seems more re-
mote now than at any time since the
overthrow Of Porfirio Diaz.
General CarranZa, as Constitution
alist leader. occupies the Presidents
palace in Mexico City, but the tenure
of his administration is problematical.
Already the standard of revolt has
been raised in many places, and to
those who have watched the trend of
developments recently there is the
strongest reason TO believe that the
new regime cannot be maintained for
any length of time even with the
moral support of the administration
at Washington.
All dispatches sent out of Mexico
City are subjected to a prohibitive
censorship, and the mention of the
name of General Villa is not allowed
in any news matter sent out of the
capital This would seem to indicate
that the talk of friendly agreement
between Carranza and the general of
the north is without foundation.
While the dispatches sent from the
capital have described the triumphal
entry of Carranza into Mexico City,
responsible persons arriving here say
that the event elected no enthusiasm
on the part of the Mexican public.
Carranza is credited with having is
sued orders for a claque to cheer him
along the line of march, and this man
ufactured enthusiasm is said to have
been all that was displayed.
The crowds in the streets regard
the Constitutionalist forces more as a
curiosity than anything else, but fear
of violence has caused them to remain
quiet.
In the meantime the jails are being
filled with hundreds of persons who
are charged Unfortunately with
participation in General Huerta's al
legged crimes. None of the prisoners
is permitted to communicate with the
outside world, and there is a general
belief that most of them will disap-
pear forever.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 24.-An Of
fetal announcement by the war de-
partment says that General Orozeo
was defeated Thursday by Colonel
Salinas in the Sierra del Ajo near
San Francisco, in the district of Par
ras. Two machine guns and a large
number of rifles and horses were cap
tured. General Orozco Is said to be
fleeing northward, and a force Of
Constitutionalists is endeavoring to
intercept him before he reaches the
American border.
General Pablo Gonzales is reported
to have entered the city of Puebla
with the Constitutionalist forces.
General Eduardo Hay, recently APP
pointed secretary of war, has re-
signed No reason is given for his
retirement. A successor has not yet
been named.

 IA number of years ago a rule was promulgated by the interior depart, ment to the effect that a mining cla,l could not pass patent unless sufficient amount of mineral was discovered to practically make it paying business proposition. Under the strict con- struction of this rule it was next to impossible to obtain a patent. unless the claim had been fully developed and demonstrated its ability to re- munerate it's owner for working it.
