The elder King thrust himself for
ward feeling out the ground to the end
of the bridge. He carried the baby in
his arms.
When he was within reaching dis
lance of Bullinger, he held the child
out in one hand toward Bullinger,
steadying, himself in the rushing wa
tiers by clinging to his son behind him.
Bullinger reached out from the log
bridge and grasped the child. For a
few perilous moments he worked him
self around on the log and began the
slow and breath-catching journey to
the top of the log foot-bridge.
As he reached the top and stepped
off to the bluff, the husband and wife
gave cry of relief.
The father then announced that it
was the wife's turn to go up the foot
bridge over the raging flood beneath.
The men carefully approached the end
of the log and braced themselves so as
to afford her protection as she mount
ed the end of the log.
She then made her way up the tree
trunk to safety where her child rested
in the arms of Bullinger.

Kings brother, Charles King at Zal-
ma, lost 500 bushels of wheat in the
flood there.
He explained that his experience
with flood corn in former years shows
that it takes but a short time for the
water to sour the ears. Once the corn
has been soured by being soaked in
the flood waters, it is good for nothing
but hog feed.

GERMAN REPLY
READY MONDAY,
new FORECAST
Breach of Friendly Relations
Not Thought of in Ber-
lin, Report.
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.
United Press Correspondent.

BERLIN (via The Hague). May 90
-Germany's reply to the American
note regarding the Lusitania and
similar incidents in all probability
will be completed by Monday. Unless
there is some unforeseen delay it will
be delivered to Washington early
next week
am Informed that because of the
length of the American note and be-
cause of the detailed requests 1t con-
tains. the German reply requires the
most careful drafting. But am off,
cially assured that there is no reason
for any apprehension concerning Ger
man american relations.
The German reply, am told, will
be polite and friendly. 1t was en-
phasized that the last thing Germany
is thinking of is a breach of diplo-
matte relations.
WASHINGTON, May 2o-With
President Wilson back at his desk,
interest in the international situation
became acute again today The fact
that German newspapers, which
while he was away, were inclined to
be conciliatory, are all reported today
to be demanding that the kaiser defy
the United States, was considered
significant. 1t was intimated here
that this change was in response ia
hints from the German government
and indicated that the reply will pro-
pose something in the nature of a
compromise In fact, the semi-off
tt1 asasta Os.sA -
the reply suggested this. 1t says Ger.
many will agree to the American
terms on condition that British mer-
chantmen abandon the use of false
flags; that England cease arminp
merchant vessels and that England
be forced to stop carrying passengers
on vessels transporting munitions.
AS viewed by officials here, the first
two points have no connection with
the situation at all. They recalled
that when the Lusitania displayed the
Stars and Stripes, running from the
Irish coast to Liverpool, the United
States protested and Captain Dow lost
his command for admitting the
story's truth, thus proving the Amer
lean case, though he acted under the
British admiralty's order. Since thea
so far as is known here. there has
been no abuse of neutral flags. Since
the early days OF the war. II was
stated, also, no armed British vessels
have been permitted to clear from
this country. Concerning the ques-
tlon of prohibiting passengers and
munitions on the same boat, 1t has
Practically been decided that the
United States has no authority ia
act. Various sections of existing laws

Intention of Quitting Kearny
Institution.

When Miss Catherine Gillen, super
intendeIt of Stumpf Memorial Hos
pltal, Kearny, sewers her connection

Gillen, who rendered her resignation
some time ago, has been head of the

nurses who are to go are: Miss Bea-
trice Carlson, Miss Beatrice Dunn

terviewed a number of applicants,
and 1t is likely a selection will be
made in the near future.
The nurses who are to leave with
Miss Gillen make no explanation re-
garding their action other than to
say the present superintendent has
always accorded them proper treat
ment, and they believe in showing

Two members of notorious gang
of swindlers from New York city

Lieutenant Daly and Sergeant Brex,
of police headquarters. on a charge
of fleecing Manfred Mancusi- -ungaro

'Tuite, of the headquarters detective
bureau, the men are wanted in New

operations stretching over a period Of
several years.
Methods of Men.
The alleged swindling attempt by
the two men today is characteristic
of the operations of the gang, accord
ing to Captain Tuite. The younger
of the two, Viola, is a good looking
young man and is known to the po-
lice as a professional "crier." He ac-
eosted Mancusi- Ungaro at Orange
street and Clifton avenue this morn
ing, processing to be a stranger in
the city and unfamiliar with Ameri-
can customs.
With fearful face he told Man

been killed in a railroad accident in
New Mexico and that he had $4,000

RAYMOND VETOES
LAKE WAWAYANDA
WATERSHED DEAL
Approves Ferry Street Repay
ing, but Declares Against
Oozy Wood Block.

Mayor. Raymond sent to the Board
of Works this afternoon his veto OF
The resolution calling for the purchase
of Lake Wawayanda and 5000 acres
surrounding it. The mayors veto
was based on the ground that Fed
eral injunction could be issued re-
straining the city from diverting the
waters and thereby wasting tha en-
tire investment.
The mayor also vetoed the resolu-
tion passed in conjunction with the
Wawayanda resolution calling for a
100000 bond issue to be used for the
purchase of the water rights and
lands
The resolution directing Chief En-
gineer Morris r. Sherrerd to prepare
specifications for the repaving of
Ferry street from Market street to
Merchant street met with the ap-
proval of the mayor. At the same
time Mayor Raymond said:
Should these specifications require
the preservation of the wood block to
be used with what is known as heavy
oil, having a specific gravity of from
LOT to LIP, / shall consider it my duty
not to approve any contract awarded
under such specifications for the rea-
son that believe that the preservation
of the blocks with a lighter oil will
provide as durable a pavement at
considerably less cost and will obviate
the inconvenience arising from the
seeping to the surface of the street of
tar, as Is the case with the Broad
street pavement.
City Counsers Opinion.
City Counsel Frazer's opinion, on
which Mayor Raymond vetoed the
Wawayanda purchase resolution, was
as follows:
"The property proposed to be pur-
chased lies about one-third in the
present Pequannock watershed and
about two-thirds of it is in the Wall
Kill watershed. The lake is drained
by a stream which, after passing a
short distance through New Jersey,
goes into the State of New York, and
eventually drains into the Hudson. I
do not know, nor do / believe any of
the members of the Board of Works
or of the engineering department
know what the value of the water
rights lying upon the stream may be.
One thing, however, is clear to my
mind, and that is that if the plan
contemplated by the engineering de-
partment of piping waters from the
lake to the storage reservoirs of our
present water system should be put
into operation, the stream would be
seriously damaged. If not completely
wiped out, and the lower riparian
owners would have an unquestioned
right of action against the city of
Newark for the abstraction of the
water.
''The question presented is different
from that presented by the Paterson
water case, since in the case of the
Paterson suits the property is wholly
within the State of New Jersey, and
Is subject to the right of eminent do
main delegated to the city. In the
Wawayanda case the water rights, so
long as they are the rights appur-
tenant to lands in the State of New
York, are not subject to condemna-
tion and the owners cannot be COM
PEELED to part with them, since the
State may exercise none of its powers

NOT GU|LTY,PLEA
Of LANT|NbERG

Called upon to answer to an indict-
ment for manslaughter, returned by
the first April grand jury last week.
David Lantinberg, of Brooklyn, tile
alleged slayer of Floyd MacFarland.
today entered a plea of not guilty be-
fore Judge William z. Martin. His
trial was set down for June in part
IL. of the Quarter Sessions Court
which is presided over by Judge Os-
borne.
Lantinberg was accompanied by his
counsel, former Judge Jerome r.
Congleton. After he had pleaded he
was released on the same bail he has
been under since his arrest, April II,
the day of the alleged crime.
The grand jury indicted Lantinberg
for granddaughter in spite of Judge
Osbornes charge to indict for murder
in the first degree and leave it TO
the trial court to determine the de-.
gree of guilt after hearing all of the
evidence. Immediately after hearing
of Judge Osborne's charge, judge
Martin issued a bench warrant for
Lantinberg's arrest, but it was found
that there was no complaint except
one for manslaughter against I4at1-
tinberg and no reason for holding
him without bail.
Lantinberg had the concessions at
the Velodrome bicycle track, where
MacFarland was manager. MaeFaf
