TAXES KEPT Low

COLONEL HALL
Militia Commander Urges En-

Tells Benefits.

uShould the attitude OF employers in
Atlanta remain antagonistic and the
Fifth Regiment be forced to disband,
taxes in Atlanta would be materially
raised, according to Colonel orville
H. Hall.
THE very fact that a regiment Of
the National Guard is stationed here
keeps down the taxes" he said Sat-
urday Fire insurance rates are also
lowered At present the Atlanta po-
lice force is far too small Efforts
are being made for the addition Of 40
more men. II the force is inadequate
under normal conditions, it is far too
small in times Of stress, when riots
break out.
Forty additional policemen would
cost the city approximately $4,000.
At present only $1,000 is given to the
regiment by the city. The balance is
obtained from the Federal Govern
ment and the State. The State pays
$4,000 for the maintenance Of the
Fifth and the Government about
$4,000.

1T is not a matter of money. The

Public Service Promises
TO Abate Dust Nuisance

Residents Of those streets in Nutley
through which the trolley line runs
will not be annoyed by dust from the
tracks if the Public Service Railway
Company lives up to it's promise.
Commissioner Carr reported at the
meeting of the Board of Commission
ers last night that the company has
promised to oil the street for the
width of the tracks. The company re-
fused to do this last year.
The trolley company has decided to
macadamize that part of Franklin
avenue on which it's tracks lie and re-
fuses to lay the oil until this work is
completed. In the meantime the town
will use its own sprinklers.
An offer of $3.50 was received and
accepted from Acquaellanonk Town
ship for the old Yantacaw chemical
engine, which was replaced last year
by a motor apparatus. A communica-
ton was received from Fire Chief
Alonzo Bross urging that the board
adopt an ordinance to prevent the
lighting of brush fires. The matter
was referred to the mayor.
Chief Bross also asked that the sal
airy of the driver for Hose Company
No. be raised to SIS q month, and
the position given to Robert Parr, who
was the former driver and is more
suited to the position than the present
will not accept the position unless he
receives $75 a month. This matter
was referred to Mayor Blum.
A petition for a sewer and telford
pavement on Park street was denied,
as the town has never taken over the
street and has no authority to make
improvements there.

QUIZ PLAINTIFF IN
HEART BALM SUIT
Mrs. RingeImann Examined in
Action Against Aged Lo-
cal Physician.

Examination of the plaintiff before
trial was held yesterday in a suit
against DIR. William M. Johnson, a
retired physician, living at l Rich
mond street, this city, for $4,000 dam
ages for breach of promise, brought
by Villa A. Ringelmann. The plain
tiff, who, according to the. doctors
lawyer, has figured in the police his
tory of Newark since the suit was
brought. Dr. Johnson is nearly
eighty years old, and before he met
the plaintiff had lost by death and
divorce three wives. One of them,
his first wife, is said to be a physi-
clan, practising in California.
The occasion when the plaintiff fig
ured the police rews came last
March, when her home, at % East
Kinney street, was raided by Detec-
tives Quinn and Harris, of Police
Chief Longs staff. She was arrested
on a charge of maintaining a disor-
derby house, and held for the grand
jury. At that time she confessed that
She was forty-six years old.
The case came before Herbert w.
Knight as a commissioner of the Cir
cult Court. The examination was
conducted by Charles A. Woodruff,
representing Mrs. Ringelmann, and
Addison Ely, lawyer for the doctor.
The examination was held, according
to Mr.. Ely, to discover something on
which to combat the plaintiff In her
suit, but In this he failed because of
the poor memory of the woman. Mrs
Ringelmann could not remember any
thing of Importance. Nothing in her
career before she was married could
be brought to her mind. She could
not remember the age of her daughter
at first, and only told it after she had
been prompted by her counsel. The
examination was abruptly terminated
by Mr.. Ely, who said that it would be
useless to continue it.
DIR. Johnson, the defendant, was in
the shoe business in Irvington until
he reached middle age. He became g
physician after graduating from the
Medical College of Michigan Univer-
sity in 1881, and then "ractised in the
Ironbound district, making a fortune
His last wife died in 1911.

REFUGEE TELLS
OF |LL-TREATMENT
Americans Thrown Into Jail and
Constantly Told They're
Going to Die.

VERA CRUZ, April 2S.-Among the
twenty-six American refugees who
arrived here late yesterday from Mex
leo City was DIR. Albert J. Hoskins,
formerly of Brimfleld, Mass, who
was arrested Thursday in Pachuca,
eighty miles from Mexico City, and
thrown into Jail, DR.. Hoskins was
for several years surgeon In the
United States army.
In an interview Dr. Hoskins said:
For many years I have been a
physician at Pachuca. Last Thurs
day four other Americans and I were
arrested as spies. The others were
Joseph Punshon, George Smith, Rob-
ert Chapman and c. L. Meader. We
were seized and taken suddenly from
our homes without having an oppor-
tunity to bid good-by to our families.
The soldiers told us we We're to be
executed as spies. They gave us a
hunk of bread and water for our
meals and applied gross epithets to
us while we were kept prisoners"
The doctor continued.
"They dinned 1t into our ears all
the time. You will die They al
lowed us no communication with the
outside world and up to this moment
we have received no word from our
families.
when we were taken from the Jail
to be sent to Mexico City they told us
that we were going to our death. A
crowd followed, threatening us, and
this finally became so large that the
guards were afraid to put us on the
train. Finally they struggled us into
the cattle car, and the guards told the
crowd that they were taking us out to
execute us. In that way we escaped.
ION arriving in Mexico City we
were allowed to go free. There we
were again subjected to insults. Eggs
were thrown at us and our faces were
spat in, the crowd yelling, xiii the
Gringoes!'
"Then came notice that a train
was going. We got on the train, and
here we are"
George Smith, another of the Pa
chuca captives, left his wife in the
house ill when he was arrested, and
he has not since heard from her. Mr.,
Smith came to Mexico from Ala

VOLUNTEER BILL
EXPLAINED BY HAY
Says Governors Who Protest
Misunderstood Purpose of
Measure.

WASHINGTON, April 2S. - The
President has received protests from
several governors, notably Governor
Colquitt, of Texas, against the volun-
teer army bill. which was an elev-
enth-hour piece of legislation passed
by the Senate, after a delay of four
months after the bill passed the
House. No attention will be paid to
these protests, because they are
founded on miseonception of the
purposes and effect of the measure.
Governor Colqultt's protest is based
on the assumption that there will be
no need of calling on States at this
time for troops unless Mexico makes
declaration of war, and he under
stands further that the bill, when APP
proved, will have the effect of de-
stroying the national guard. Repre-
sentative Hay, chairman of the
House military committee and author
of the bill. said yesterday:
"This new legislation replaces the
defective and inadequate law which
was bound to cause confusion and de-
lay in the raising of volunteer force
in time of war or when war was i'm
minent. 1t does not destroy the Ma
tional Guard On the contrary, 1t en-
hances the usefulness of the organ
lied militia. 1t makes it possible TO
use the militia organizations III lne
volunteer force for service beyond
the borders of our country.
without the law the National
Guard or State troops are not avail
able for such service. They may be
used, in the event of war with MeXi-
co, for duty in Texas and along the
Mexican border on the United States
side, but they may OF be sent into
Mexico, except in so far as the or
ganized militia is converted into vol
unteers on the call of the President.
ut is of great importance that the
President shall have the power to
select the officers for volunteer
army. Presumably, he would retain
the officers of any militia organlza-
tion transferred to the volunteer
force This is common sense. The
law has the effect of protecting a
volunteer force from mere political
appointments, and to that precau-
tionary phase of the situation there
can be no objection. The bill has
been carefully drawn with a view to
obtaining the best possible result,
and the experts agree that 1t is
beneficial measure, with every con-
sideration for efficiency and with
proper regard for the fitness OF in
dividuals who will command men ana
who must supervise their welfare,
and so preserve their fighting powers.
1.-THE protests against the approval
of the bill are obviously founded
upon a misconception of what 1t aims
TO do, and, of course, there is no
necessity for more than informing |
those who protest as to the real sit
uation."

The name of Carl Schumann is

man who is closest to the cause, the
man who has been closest to Witt
