Death Rate of ia Per 1000
in Glen Ridge Last Year

Based on population of $500, the
death rate for 1918 in Glen Ridge was
ia per 1000, according to figures
compiled by the Board of Health.
At a meeting of the health board
last night it was reported that there
were forty-one deaths during the
year. Ninety-nine cases of conta-
gion were reported to the board last
year, but five deaths resulting from
the contagion. There were twelve
marriages and fifty-one births.
The board decided to prohibit
Seller Brothers, of 272 Plane street.
this city, from selling any pasteur-
lied cream in Glen Ridge after Janu-
airy rs until such time as they can
prove to the satisfaction of the board
that their cream really is pasteur-
lied. A committee composed of
James E. Brook and w. w. Schoule
inspected the Seller plant in this city
recently and stated that they learned
that the milk was pasteurized at the
Seller plants in Pennington. n. j.,
and Cortland, N. Y. E. Seller, a
member of the firm, was unable to
convince the Glen Ridge committee
men as to the pasteurization of his
cream. The Glen Ridge pharmacy is
the only customer of Seller Brothers
in that village, and it uses twenty
to thirty quarts of cream a day for
the manufacture of ice cream.

Fall Storms Make Year on
Great Lakes Most Disastrous

DETROIT, Jan. 23-The year 1918
was the most disastrous in the his
tory of the Great Lakes Protective
Association, according to its secre-
tary, George A. MARI, of Cleveland,
who submitted his report at the as
sociation's annual meeting here today.
Up to November 1 there was every
indication the year would prove more
profitable to the underwriters than
1912, but the terrific storms of Novem-
Der SO changed the previous showing
that 1t was necessary to make spe-
cial assessment, amounting to fifty
per cent. of the original contributions
or premiums, on all members, in order
to meet the losses involved.
Six of the eighteen vessels totally
lost and eight of those damaged dur
ing the storm were owned by mem
bers of the association. The losses
paid up to January 10, the report says,
amounted to $133,56S, while losses re-
ported, but not yet adjusted were
estimated at $154, 804.

Fight Over Will of Former

able way and no one can say anything
but good about them"
According 10 statements made at
the Council meeting by members OF
the Democratic majority, they OPP
posed these two members of the Dem
ocratic majority. they opposed these
two men because they wanted to keep
the commission non-partisan and free
from politics. I want to say that that
could be best accomplished by con-
frming these appointments. These
are the very kind of men the people
can depend upon to keep politics out
of the police and fire departments;
these are the kind of men the people
know they can rely upon to do their
full duty without fear or favor. From
the inconsistency between the. profess
sion of faith and the official action OF
the Democratic members, in this re-
spect, 1 am obliged to conclude that
thew don't want non-partisan or nom
political police or fire commissions
inasmuch as they don't want to con-
firm men who will be non-partisan
and independent"
"When men like Mr.. Calhoun and
Mr.. Neili are turned down in TINS
manner. I am forced to conclude that
the Democratic majority in the Com
mon Council have unanimously decid-
ed that they will not confirm, as
members of the police and fire COM
missioners, men of character and
ability. who command the respect and
confidence of the community. l shall,
therefore. submit no other names to
the council Let the responsibility
for the situation rest upon the Demo-
cratic majority of the Common Coun-
ell. I feel that I have done my full
duty. 1 stand by my action and L
now submit the matter to the people
of this city as the jury in the case"

Take Steps to Secure
Probe of Mine Strikers

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-Plans for
congressional investigation of the
Colorado and Michigan mine strikes
were being framed up today by con-
gressmen who expect the House to
act favorably on the decision of last
nights caucus which instructed the
rules committee to bring in spe-
cial rule permitting such an inves-
tigation.
While the action of the caucus does
not actually order an investigation,
supporters of the movement declare
it assures one, and they expect TO
see hearings begun by the House
mines committee within two weeks.
The House itself, however. will have
to act upon the matter when the rules
committee reports.
Those who opposed the investiga-
ton in the caucus will continue to
oppose it on the floor of the House
on the contention that no Federal
question is involved in either strike
to warrant congressional interfere
ence,

WANT OIL LANDS
FOR NAVY'S FUEL
High Cost of Oil Suggests Plan
That Government Supply
Own Needs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. GAS the
result Of an investigation disclosing
the advantages of oil-equipped battle
ships, Secretaries Daniels and Lane,
Chairman Padgett, of the House
naval affairs committee, and others
have been comforting over a pro
1ect for government ownership of
oil lands and pipe lines for furnish
ing the navy with it's own fuel.
Rear Admiral Griffin, chief of the
bureau of steam engineering, has
Just filed with the House naval COM
mittee statement outlining the pro-
Ject with recommendations. Mean
time, a hearing will be given at the
interior department next Saturday
night on a bill of Senator Gore pro-
posing a pipe line from Oklahoma to
the Gulf of Mexico for the use of the
navy.
Details of the plan became known
today. Because of the increased cost
of oil which naval officials say has
gone up so per cent. during the past
year; with the navy multiplying the
consumption and the oil companies
multiplying the price," plans are
under way for making the navy in
dependent of oil companies by reserv-
ing lands or acquiring them and by
developing its own oil resources.
Besides oil lands in Oklahoma, Of
ficials here have considered govern
ment lands in California, though 1t
is suggested that these might involve
title litigation. Admiral Griffin sug
gested the Usage lands In Oklahoma,
adding that there is also undeveloped
oil in Alaska
The statement of Admiral Griffin
is based on an investigation by Lieu
tenant Commander Boyd, of the
steam engineering bureau. 1t says
that if the government should pro-
duce its own oil it could save the
large pipe line transportation profit
by building its own pipe lines. The
saving, compared with present con-
ditions, would be from 81, 100000 up
ward annually. A $4,000 appropria-
ton to lease "a quarter section of
highly probable land is recommend
ed "as beginning" the remainder
to be used for drilling and acquiring
additional land. The government, ii
recommends, should have the same
selling rights as any company begin
ming operations.
The navy during the last fiscal
year used 100000 barrels of oil and
all new destroyers. submarines and
battleships are to use oil only. For
the next fiscal year the navy wants
| 100000 barrels with subsequent steady
| increases.
Under war conditions" the state
ment says, there might be periods
when we would be using at the rate
of five or six times that quantity
We are paying $1.39 a barrel for oil
at Port Arthur and the best infor-
nation obtainable points to further
I! increase in prices"
1.-The time is not yet ripe for any
| recommendations for producing in
California" the statement continues
1.-THE titles of lands in the navy
petroleum reserves are not clear, and
the outcome of the suits for recovery
of lands therein from the Southern
Pacific cannot be foreseen. More
over, the status of lands will be in
fluenced by the future decision in the
Midwest Oil Company case, which
will determine the status of claims
at the date of the order of with
drawal from entry of these lands"

Thinks Electricity Could
Control Kind of Weather

LONDON. Jan. 23.-Sir oliver Lodge,
the distinguished physicist, and
principal of Birmingham University,
in an address before the Institute of
Electrical Engineers last night, sug-
gested the possibility of obtaining
some measure of control over the
weather. If clearing weather, he
said, was due to electricity, 1t might
be imagined that man could acquire
some control over the electrification
of the atmosphere.
II it was desired to produce rain
why not send up kite to reach the
clouds? He believed that if enough
electricity were discharged into the
clouds the drops would behave there
as they did in the laboratory; they
would coalesce, and once that had
happened the process might be re-
peated and cause a shower When
rain was wanted, the lecturer said,
negative electricity should be sent up,
and If fine weather was wanted, posi-
tive electricity.
