The local political caldron was
raised to a fever point today and
the followers of Mayor Thomas L..

the other and the cohorts of the mo

TO jump at each others throat. Judge

Mayor Raymonds, hurled bomb into
the Dalrymple camp last night at a
meeting of the Bovo-Lineoln Social

direct accusation that Dalrymple had
bitterly opposed the appointment of
Italians to office at the hands of
Mayor Raymond, while today the

tary, Charles H. Richardson, issued
an attack on William j. Wakefield,

the mo Boss League for the Ray

For short while Judge Mancusi-
Ungaro was regarded as the savior
of the Italian vote of the Bovo-Lin-

was declared that he had stilled the

SAVE BABIES OF THE POOR
FROM POISON OF BAD MILK

An appeal is hereby made for the
poor and for the babies of the poor
especially who are exposed to sick
ness and death because of their use
of unclean milk.
The danger is very real.
II is an established fact, and uni
versally so recognizeds that whether
bacteria are harmless or not, their
presence in milk in excessive num-
bers is a fruitful source of the bowel
troubles from which such multltudes
of children die every summer
The loose milk which the children
of the poor are compelled to use
swarms with bacteria.
Nothing is clearer than that many
epidemics are directly attributable
to disease germs in the milk This is
true of tuberculosis, typhoid, infantile
paralysis. scarlet fever diphtheria
and many other diseases.
If the loose milk of the little stores
does not contain these germs when
il leaves the dairies from thirty to
three hundred miles away. they are
very likely to enter 1t through the
methods by which 1t is handled.
Adults are thus infected and die, but
the majority of the victims of milk
borne disease, especially milk borne
tuberculosis and infantile paralysis,
are very young children.
The very thought tof dirt In connec-
tion WITH milk is repulsive. We asso-
ciate milk with whiteness, which is a
symbol OF cleanliness. We look upon
II as the food of babies, who stand
for innocence and purity. And yet
much of the loose milk that is dipped
from cans is produced in stables that
reek with filth. 1t is drawn from the
udders of i'll fed and perhaps diseased
cows by unclean hands 1t travels for
scores of miles from these dairies TO
crowded. 1y-infested little stores and
is dipped from cans, pint by pint,
while pollution filters into il through
the uncovered can.
It is dirty--very dirty.
The writer knows whereof he
speaks. He has been to these barns,
900 miles away; seen the milk drawn
and followed it to the creamery He
has gone with ii into the milk car and
travelled with ii all night long until
it's arrival in Newark. He has fol-
lowed it from the freight station in
the early morning to the little store
and stood by while it was dispensed.
He Is not propounding theory, there
fore He is stating q fact.

! The very cleanest of cows milk is
at its best, none too good substi-
| tute for the mothers breast. This
| filthX. germ-laden milk in cans is as
| far from satisfactory food for
! babies as any other dirt poison, and
| yet that is the only kind of milk ac-
cessible to very large percentage of
| the humble homes in Newark.
The Star does not believe that this
| is the only cause of the terrible NOR
tality among infants. 1t Is not even
| the principal cause. 1t is only one of
| the causes.
But it is the only cause of the disease
! and death among babies that can he OBJ
| waited easily and ut once.
1t is quite possible to abolish the
sale of dip milk in the city. 1t is just
as easy to supply the families of the
poor with a milk that is clean and
wholesome.
The Star has no power to place dip
is lodged with the Board of Health
and will soon be exercised, let us
hope. with relentless vigor
But The Star can do something
toward supplying good milk to those
who need it most. and is doing it. II
has gone into sections of the city
where bottled milk is not sold, and
will go into still other sections later
1t has established stations where
safe milk is dispensed at the same
! price now charged for dip milk.
This milk is grade A. That is to say
| it is produced in clean barns and
| properly handled. Ii is pasteuriZed
which means that il contains no dis.
ease germs of any kind. 1t is bottled
| thus assuring the consumer that nG
| pollution enters it from the time il
! leaves the creamery. IT is dispensed
| from clean stores. 1t is an absolutely
safe milk
Furthermore, where family i'm the
neighborhood is too poor to buy this
milk at the price charged, it will be
supplied gratis.
This work costs money, but ii is
of such vital Importance to the pub
lie health and to the we'll being of
the very poor. that it should not only
go on, at least while the hot weather
continues, but be greatly extended.
The Star, therefore, solieits the most
generous financial aid from the char
itably disposed. 1t pleads for money,
every penny of which will stand be-
tween the children of the tenement
and the contagion which turks in
the milk which they are now COM
PEELED to use. All contributions
should be addressed to The Evening
Star Free Milk and Ice Fund

Work to Begin on
Jackson ST. Bridge
Trolley on Monday
Railway Company Will Pro-
ceed Under Ordinance APP
proved by Utility Board.

In pursuance of its announced in
tention to proceed with the laying OF
tracks over the Jackson street bridge
at the earliest possible moment, the
Public Service Railway Company an
nounced today that next Monday
morning a force of employees will
start the work at jackson and Market
streets.
Had the passage of a joint ordi-
nance by the Essex and Hudson
county freeholders been the sole au-
thority upon which the work could
be undertaken, there would be no
hope for the Harrison Fed" park
baseball patrons getting rail trans
portation for a long time to come.
The railway company will not wait
for such an ordinance, however, be-
cause it will undertake the work un-
der an ordinance granted by the city
of Newark and already approved by
the Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners.
This information not only supports
the Public Service Railway Company
in it's announced Willingness to meet
the public desire, but should greatly
encourage the baseball fans" who
are Handicapped by lack of adequate
transportation.

CITY TAX RATE
OF 2.28 NOW
THE BELIEF
This Is the Latest Calculation
of the Taxing Au-
thorities.

Calculations by taxing experts to-
day put the new county tax rate at
.68331, and the Newark rate, including
the county rate, at 2.2S755. This is an
increase of twenty points over the
last years rate of 2.0S. The estimated
county ratables are S643, 606.4 495, and
the amount to be raised by assess
ment in the county is $4,492,S772 20.
The bank stock tax to be deducted
from the county levy is estimated nj
$95 900. This establishes a county rate
of 68331.
The figure given for the total value
on which assessments are to be levied
includes second-class railroad prop
erty. To get the total the ratables of
four municipalities are estimated
They are Newark, whose total rata
bles are fixed by estimate at $419,200,
000 an increase of $16,000,00O over last
year; Irvington, whose ratables are
placed at $13,971 ,659, an increase OF
100000 over last year, and the bor-
ough and township of Caldwell, whose
combined ratables are estimated al
SO, 1861 900, an increase of 0,00O. These
estimates are regarded by authori-
ties as sufficiently near correct to en-
able the county tax rate to be pretty
definitely estimated.
Although all the Newark books
have not yet been turned into the
county board, they have been com
pleted excepting for a few minor cor
rections, and are understood to show
an approximate increase of $4,000, 0O(
In the city ratables.
The city budget this year calls for
an expenditure of about $4,000, 900
This sum must be raised by taxation
with the exception of the revenues to
be derived from license fees and fran
chises, which will total about $1,000,
900. The amount to be raised by as
sessment for city purposes will be
So, $50, 900.
From this can be deducted, for the
purpose of fixing the tax rate, the
bank stock tax income, which Is fig
ured at 100000, and the poll tax rev.
enue, which liberal estimate places
at 100000. Last year the best the city
could do was $4,000. Deducting these
two amounts, the total to be raised by
assessment is $6,725,000. Dividing this
by the city ratables, the city rate,
t.60424, Is arrived at Add the county
rate of .6S331 and the rate imposed on
Newarkers is shown to be 2.2S755.

MAYOR MAY
VETO AWARD
TO O'CONNOR
Has Asked Mr.. Jamouneau for
Letter of ParticuIars-What
Expert Found.

"The furniture to be supplied by the
firm of NJ. j. O'Connor Sons for the
new almhouse will fall to pieces at
the end of a very few years" said
William II. Jamouneau, of 5S2 Broad
street, today, in renewing his attack
upon the award of the almshouse fur
nishing contract to the O'Connor
concern by the poor and aims com
mittee of Common Council.
Mr.. Jamouneau charged the COM
mittee with neglect of its duty. lie
declared that the O'Connor concern
had not made its $33,064 bid on the
articles furnished as samples by Ar
chitect Joseph O'Rourke, but instead
on those supplied by itself, and that
there is difference in value of from
25 to 80 per cent. between the two.
Further than that, Mr.. Jamouneau
charged, the O'Connor's shortcomings
do not stop at substitution, but act
ually amount to failure to furnish
all the goods called for and bid on
by other concerns. Mr.. Jamouneau
pointed out the omission of a guam
tity of carpet from the articles to
be supplied by the O'ConnOr firm, one
piece of which Is alone worth over
$500
Mr.. Jamouneau asserted that he is
writing a letter to City Counsel
Spaulding Frazer, at the latter's re-
quest containing this and other in
formation obtained by an inspection
yesterday of the trunk of samples
and list of goods supplied by the
O'Connor bidders. The inspection was
made, he said, by an expert employed
by one of the largest department
stores of the city, which was itself
an unsuccessful bidder.
Its purpose was to get facts to put
before Mayer Raymond. whose veto
period expires Monday at midnight,
said Mr.. Jamouneau. Mr.. Jamouneau
said the O'Connor bid was only ten
per cent. less than his own, made
what he declares to be in accord
ance with specifications.
'The committee did not know about
these omissions and substitutions,'

BERLIN (via wireless to London).
Aug. 14,-General Won Hindenbure's

the fortified forest of Dominikanka
in front of Kovno, it was officially
announced today.
The forces of Field Marshal Won

leading from Radzyn- -Dawidy-Vla-

North of Novogeorgievsk." the
official statement adds, I'VE stormed
and captured strong outpost posi-
tion, taking 1900 prisoners.
The second phase of the campaign
on the Eastern front is drawing
rapidly to a close-the Russian center
giving ground with little resistance
in its retreat to the Kovno- Brest
| Litovsk line
Attacking the Russian wings are
Won Hindenburg and Mackensen. the
TWO greatest generals Germany has
produced in the world war. Kovno is
| being subjected to terrific assault
under the eye of Won Hindenburg and
there is not the slightest doubt that
the fortress must soon succumb.
! Mackensen is pressing slowly north

heavy blows at the Russian left flank.
Military critics here believe the
operations against Russia will be en-
| tirely completed within q few weeks
They do not expect to see any march

! opinion here is that Russia already.
| has been dealt blow from which she
can scarcely recover before the
allies are forced into peace negotia-
tions. The popular demand is that
Germany shall wheel her armies into
q new campaign on another front.
Final Phase OF Campaign.
The Won Hindenburg- Maekensen

Kovno is pounded to pieces and all

German attack, military men here
believe. those victories constituting
the final phase of the stupendous
Austro-German campaign in the east
With Brest- Litovsk and the Kovno
fortress line held by German troops,
no serious offensive on the part Of
Russia is anticipated for the balance
of the war. The fall of Warsaw left
to the Slavs only Brest-BitovslS to be
surrendered to the Austro- Germans
