which they propose to amend so as to
transfer their burdens to everybody
else within Oklahoma. They are said
to wonder whether tax for such a
purpose is within the powers of the
legislature to levy. But why hesitate?
Why not dump the law upon the courts
for fulfilling their functions?

ENCOURAGING BAD BANKING.
(From the New York Times.)

(From the New York Times.)
1t was announced last week that sew
eral States are proposing to guarantee
bank deposits. Iowa is proposing to
adopt Nebraska's Law, which is said
not to have done anybody any particu.
lar harm. Other states are said to be
in doubt what form their statute shall
take. 1t is a novel argument that any
law should be passed because a similar
law has done NJ particular harm
Argument would te wasted upon those
of that way Of thinking. Facts might
be more persuasive. and Oklahoma sup.
plies them just as they are needed
Oklahoma has learned that banks can
fail faster than other banks can find
the funds to fill the deficit. The de
positors get their cash, and the state
takes the unlhuidated and unliquitable
asseta Accordingly there are now out

USED BRANCH OF
TREE TO ROB A
STORE WINDOW
Thieves Smashed Glass in Jew
eIer's Shop and Gathered
in Booty.

The show window Of the Jewelry
store of Louis f. Weick & Co. at 6
Pacific street, was broken about 4
o'clock this morning and about $40
worth of jewelry was fished out
the aperture by means of a
stout twig, which evidently had been
cut from a nearby tree. 1t is the be-
lief of the police that the break was
made by amateurs who knew all
about conditions In the neighborhood.
The store is on the ground floor of
a three-story building and In pop
ulous neighborhood. Mrs. Daniel
Hunt, who lives In the third floor of
the house. heard a crash of glass
about o'clock this morning but
creant having fun by breaking a milk
bottle. Several others who live In the
neighborhood also heard the sound,
but ascribed 1t to the same cause as
Mrs. Hunt and none of them got out
of bed to investigate.
About 4:30 o'clock the police OF the
Third precinct were notified by tele-
phone that the window in the store
was broken and that robbery ap-
parently had been committed. The
sender of the message said that he
was man on MIS- way 10 WORN, anu
that no one was in sight about the
place. The reserves were sent from
the station but found no suspicious
persons in the neighborhood
Plainclothesman Chenoweth anu
detectives from police headquarters.
who were assigned to the case, found
half red brick lying on the side
walk near the window. On one cor
ner OF 1t were found evidences of its
having been used to break the glass.
1t was not wrapped in cloth or paper,
as professionals would have done to
deaden the sound, and from this fact
and the small value of the loot possi-
BILE the investigators believe the work
was done by amateurs.
Not far from the store was found
q freshly cut small branch Of a tree,
about two and one-half feet loug and
less than half an inch in diameter
The bark on tine end by which the
branch was attached to the tree was
left on, curling up at the end In such
manner as to make it useful as
hook.

COM. REID HOLDS
UP COLLEAGUES
IN POLICE BOARD
Stands on His Prerogative and
Blocks Placing of New
Fire Gong.

Commissioner of Police John L..
Reid proved himself a stickler for
formality at today's meeting of the
Board of Police Commissioners and
seemed to be greatly distressed in
mind when his associates seemed
about to take action on a matter not
recommended by him.
Three weeks ago Acting Chief John
r. Brown recommended that fire
alarm gong, similar to the one at the
-Four Corners" be placed in front
of the tube station to warn traffic
in that section of the approach of
the fire apparatus.
The Recommendation was referred
to Commissioner Frederic Bigelow
chairman of the committee on traffic.
Today he recommended that the gong
be placed at the corner. and COM
missioner John RI. Donnelly moved
that the report be concurred In and
the gong put In place.
Then came pause, which devel-
oped into wait OF two or three min
utes. Commissioner Bigelow would
not second the motion because the
recommendation was his, and Com
missioner Frederick Breidenbach
could not do so because he was I'm the
chair. Commissioner Reid was pres
ent. but remained silent
When the pause commenced to be
painful the chairman said mildly, rs
the motion seconded?'
Then came another pause which
Commissioner Reid finally broke by
exclaiming 81 thought / was B. MEM
ber OF this board, and | thought /
was chairman OF the committee or
supplies | thought also that these
facts we're known to my colleagues
and to the acting chief of the de-
partment. I will not second the mo-
ton"

caught the drift of the proceeding
and moved the matter be referred to

FATALLY BURNED
BY ACID FROM
ALEAKy PIPE
Daniel Bordner Turned Valve
Wrong Way and Was
Drenched at Edison's.

Daniel Bordner, fifty-four years old,
Of 4b South Orange avenue, was ia
tally burned while at work last night
in the Thomas A. Edison. Inc, fac
tory In the Silver Lake section Of
Belleville.
He was employed in the wax room
where phonograph discs are prepared
and through which runs a three
fourths-inch pipe used TO discharge
carbolic acid. The acid is used in an
other room and discharged outdoors,
but q leaky valve allowed the fumes
to escape into the wax room.
Bordner climbed upon a box in an
attempt to remedy the leak. but, in
stead, opened the valve, allowing the
acid to flow down onto his face and
chest. Three other workmen, Thomas
Barrett, II Mt. Vernon place, Orange;
William Malakie, $3.50 North Ninth
street, Newark. and James Murphy,
75 Freeman street, West Orange,
went to his assistance, and were
badly burned about the hands in car
rying the man from the room.
An ambulance was summoned from
Mountainside Hospital by Policemen
James Flynn and William Sullivan,
but Bordner was dead when the ply
sician arrived. His head and chest
were horribly burned.
Bordner formerly was employed as
a motorman and has owned several
saloons as well as a fish market be-
fore going to work in the Edison
plant. He had been in constant
dread of accidents, saying that the
work was dangerous and not care
fully conducted. Upon one occasion
his foot was crushed, another time
his hand was crushed and upon a
third occasion his foot was burned by
acid.
After the accident In which his foot
was burned he asked to be given an
other job and his request was grant
ed. The man who took his place,
Andrew Burns, of IL South street, Or
ange, soon after became Ill from the
acid fumes In which he worked and
after an illness of three days died
at his home September 2.
Edison Was Burned. Too.
A day or two after the death Of
Burns, Thomas A. Edison visited the
shop himself in an attempt to find a
remedy for the trouble. While IN
yestigating a spurt of acid spattersd
over him, burning his face slightly.
He rushed to water tap, however
and saved himself from being badly
injured, but he was obliged 10 quit
the investigating and go home for the
day.
Complaints have been made fire.
quently by persons living In the vicin-
ity, who say that the fumes from
the acid discharged through the pipe
which figured in last nights accident
is a constant menace to their health.
The Belleville Board of Health has
investigated, but it was said that they
found no cause for action Ths mat
ter has been brought to the attention
of the board several times since, but
failed to be acted on because the
board has not met for some weeks.
Bordner Is survived by his wife,
three brothers and one sister. Funeral
arrangements have not been made.

The war cost for the next few

The main cause of the surprising
increase In war expenditures, Pre-
mier Asquith said, was tfle fact that
England was making Eat adva-sseA
to the allies at the same time she is
buying provisions and munitions.
These things, he said. wera needed
to complete the war program. and
the country still stood in need of
more laborers, women as we'll as
men.
Premier Asquith declared that
since the war began nearly 10000
men have enlisted in the British ar
mics. But, he said, in recent weeks
the enlistment has shown signs of

Fashion Followers
SWeIfer in New Lids
as Mercury Scars

Today was the day for the new felt
hat or derby, according TO custom
long established, but quite as many
straw hats were to be seen along
Market and Broad streets today as
at any time for the past two weeks.
Those who like to anticipate the
changes in the fashion bought their
TALL hats more than a week ago, and
they still had them on today, looking
downcast and uncomortablei but those
who have been clinging to the old
than ever today and looking rather
pleased at the turn in affairs.
Today also was the day when the
mosquito should go, according to the
official mosquito chasers, but the
druggists are still putting up citron-
ella in one7ounce bottles and wishing
there was some excuse by which they
could raise the price and say 1T was
due to the war. The day for the pass
ing of the mosquito has been changed
by the MOSQUITO chasers, but they
refuse to say what the new day Is,
Not yet awhile" is the only reply

The temperature and humidity this
forenoon were higher than any Sep
tember in thirty eight years, and the
relief which must come some time Is

were reported from Wyoming and
western Nebraska, and the cold wave
was creeping slowly eastward, out at
it's present rate of progress it will not

Yesterdays high mark was 30 at
2 o'clock in the afternoon. At mid
night it was rs and remained there
or thereabouts nearly all the early
morning hours. The lowest mark of
the night was 73. At 10 o'clock this
forenoon 70 was indicated and at II
the mark was IS, the jump of six
degrees in a single hour being not
the least remarkable feature of the
day. The humidity was 81 per cent.
