BIDS RECEIVED
ON 12-M|LL|ON
GALLON PUMP

The estimates of six bidders for the
twelve-million gallon pump to be
placed at Runyon were received by
the water board last night and turned
over to City Engineer Mason to be
tabulated and report on same to the
committee of the whole One bid, re-
ceiyed too late, was rejected. The
bids follow
Allis Chalmers Manufacturing
Company, Milwaukee, 1872, POS; Will
liam Tod Company, Youngstown,
o., $39,965 Turbine Equipment
Company, New York, s20,600; Ep-
ping Carpenter Pump Company, Pitts

pany, Milwaukee, $29,900; Snow
Steam Pump Works, a subsidiary of
the International Pump Company,
bid received too late.
The award of the contract may be
made at the meeting of the board
April z. The pump is to be used to
send water from the storage wells at
the Runyon watershed through the
mains to this city. Already there are
three pumps at the watershed. One
has twelve-million capacity; one a
four-million capacity and one an
eight million. All three have been In
use for some time and might become
exhausted from long usage in the
near future and are liable to break
downs subsequent to doing duty for
years. The commissioners, by secur-
ing a new pump, will establish an al
ternate pumping unit for $1,000, 900
gallons per day.
The board decided that Superin-
tendent Grieve should now begin
painting the fire hydrants through
out the city as needed, according
to the request recently received from
the fire committee of the Board of
Aldermen. Those in the heart of the
city will be attended first. They
will be painted red with white tops.
Mr.. Grieve reported that he had in
stalled seven new fire hydrants in
the last few weeks. The fire com
mittee asked a total of thirty-three
new hydrants, which will be put In
gradually.
A communication from the Lehigh
Valley railroad was presented to the
board by superintendent Grieve. The
railroad complained of bill render

Because it was agreed at the meet
ing of the Board of Water Commits
sloners last night that the automatic
check valve at the new stand pipe
on the aims property would not be
needed to keep that container from
overlooking for several years, and as
there is immediate need for valve
to provide against the recent over
flowing of the stand pipe at Ernston,
the board decided to transfer the
new valve from the former to the
latter stand pipe.
The board also decided to termi-
nate their contract with the Hudson
and Middlesex Telephone and Tele-
graph Company for the electric tell
tale" which expires July Is, 1915.
The company had been receiving

ASK INDICTMENT
AGAINST QWUER
OF HOTEL HERE
Building Inspector Claims He
Has Given Mrs. Mendenhall
Is -
Too Many Warnings to
Have Fire Escapes Put Up.

Because he claims that Mrs. Lii
liam p. Mendenhall, owner of the
Packer house, has been repeatedly
warned about the absence of fire es-
capes about the building at Smith
and High streets, Building Inspector
William j. Murtagh yesterday took
drastic steps to compel her to com
ply with the law, and asked the
grand jury in session at New Bruins
wick to indict Mrs. Mendenhall on a
misdemeanor charge.
This was the first step In the build
ing inspectors crusade against
boarding houses and hotels In the
city that have no fire escapes. Mr..
Murtagb says that he will require the
owners to live up to the law in re-
gard to fire escapes for the safety
of the occupants of these places.
Steps against other owners will be
taken shortly unless notifications
sent to them are needed, and fire
escapes provided.
Mr.. Murtagh stated this morning
that ever since he was appointed
building inspector, a year5ago next
month, he has continually warned
Mrs. Mendenhall of her violation OF
the law by allowing the Packer house
to be operated as a hotel without
providing the requisite fire escapes
He has sent several letters to her

JERSEY CENTRAL LINE
IN DU PONT CONTROL
Traction Company Sold TO Du POnt Interests by Morris Broth
eTs, Of Philadelphia, Who Have Controlled Property from
Beginning - Geo. l. Brown TO Reinquish Management Of
the Road, But Will Remain as Stakeholder.

1t became known today on the best
OF authority that the Jersey Central
Traction Company has changed
hands. The Morris Brothers, of Phil
adelphia, who have controlled the
property fom the beginning, have
sold out to the Du Pont interests, of
Delaware. George 1. Brown, of Red
Bank, who has been vice president
and general manager, while remain
ing as stakeholder, has relinquished
the management of the road. So far
as known the policy of the company
will remain unchanged.
Brown Away on Trip.
Mr.. Brown is away on a business
trip at this time and could not be
interviewed. 1t has been understood
for some time, however, that a
change was under contemplation and
the EVENING NEWS has learned
from an unquestionahle source that
the control of the road is now In new
hands.
The new stockholders are William
w. Laird, Francis $. 'u"hitten and
William s. Hilles. These men are
said to represent the DuPonts, Of
Delaware, known throughout the
country for their interests In the
powder trust 1t is understood that
the DuPonts have relinquished their
holdings In the powder corporation
and are going in heavily for traction
stock.
Thus far the Public Service Cor
poration has nothing to do with the
transaction and the opinion is that
the DuPonts will continue for the
present, at least, to run the line in
dependently 1t Is not known, how
ever, what they may do in the future.

RAE TANzER HELD

New York, March 25;-Miss Rae
Tanzer, plaintiff In a $4,000 breach
of promise action against James W.
Osborne, wealthy attorney, was today
bound over to the grand jury on a
charge Of using the mails to defraud
by United States Commissioner
Houghton. The verdict climaxed a
morning of sensational evidence on
each side of the case. Houghton Sc
yerely arraigned the pretty defend
ant when he handed down his deci-
sion.
There Is not doubt In my mind
that plenty of evidence has been in
troduced to warrant holding the de-
fendant for further action by the
grand jury. The person who signed
the bail bond for the defendant un-
doubtedly wrote the dear Oliver

was the first stumbling block II
was necessary to compel the Penn
sylvania railroad to widen the fas
nous hole" and raise the tracks.
The fight became so warm that q
compromise was reached whereby
the Pennsylvania opened the new
street, starting at Broadway and
Main street in South Amboy and,
passing under the Pennsylvania
tracks beside the tracks of the New
York and Long Branch railroad,
crossed the meadows and thus reach-
ed the approach to the bridge; cut
ting out the Meebaniesyiiie section Of
South Anboy.
The Public Service Corporation
did everything it could TO prevent the
Jersey Central getting the franchise
on the bridge. but after many hear
ings and with stir regulations pro-
tecting the peoples interests, the
right TO use the spans on the bridge
was granted the Jersey Central, the
company building It's own trestle the
rest of the way. An agreement was
then reached with the Public Service
whereby the cars of the Jersey Cen
trail were to enter this city over the
E-uUilC SeENlCe tTathS WutG tffe fuu-
lie Service would have the Jersey
Central tracks to run line from this
city to South Amboy.
Under the management of George
I. Brown the Jersey Central has been
as near a model road as 1t is posi-
bic to be- The service has always
been first class. The public has III
ways been given first consideration
and all dealings with municipalities
and public officials have always been
open and above board. Mr., Brown
Is held In the utmost esteem by the
employees of the road and he has en-
couraged them In their social activi-

IN FAYE1TE ST.
Home of George Houser is
Threatened With Destruction
Last Night-Fire in Rear of
Barber Shop This Morning.

One thousand persons saw tiremen
save the home of George Houser at
103 Fayette street after an hours
battle with flames on the top of the
three and one-half story building
about $50 o'clock last night; and
two families were routed from their
beds when a barber shop at 337
Smith street was gutted by flames
about 8 o'clock this morning. The
total damage is estimated at nearly
$4,000, covered by insurance.
Mrs. Houser was washing dishes In
the kitchen on the second floor short
ly after O'Clock when boarder,
whose room was in the top half story.
rushed down and told her the roof
was afire. A. Christensen, who lives
next door, discovered the flames
about the same time and gave the
alarm from box sc at State and Com
nlerce streets. When the firemen ar
rived the roof was afiame and the
fire glare could be seen for radius of
one-half mile. Firemen climbed to
the roof of two-story building next
door and from that vantage point
fought the flames. Another line Of
hose was laid into the rear of the
house and still another taken up the
ladders placed against the front of
the building.
Smouldering For Some Time.
The fire seemed to have been
smouldering about the chimney for
some time before being discovered
and had a good headway. and being
in the caves of the roof was hard to
reach. Only the roof and part of the
side walls of the top half-story, how
ever, was destroyed before the flames
were checked. The building was
flooded, and the interior walls and
furniture of the rooms on all floors
were either damaged or ruined by
water. The papering and plastering
were falling from nealry every room
this morning, and the house seemed
a wreck. The damage to the furni-
ture and building is estimated at be-
tween s1,500 and $1,S0G, covered by
insurance. The firemen do not doubt
that the blaze started from defee-
tive chimney running through the
top half-stery. tne DUH

ond assistant fire chief, escaped in
Jury when big weather board peal
ed from the burning building, was
dropped forty feet to the pavement.
The long plank struck the street at
Mr.. Deveny's feet, grazing his left
hand.
Rush From Burning House.
The fire this morning originated
from an unknown cause, but seemed
to emanate from behind some fix
lures in the rear of the barber shop,
which is owned by John Dangelo,
who, it was declared, was out of the
city. He carried $500 insurance.
His damage Is estimated around
$500. But slight damage was done
to the new two-story brick building
owned by II. Wedeen, a merchant at
271 Smith street. Two families, oc-
cupying apartments on the. second
floor, were frightened from their
beds scantily clad, but returned
when they found the firemen had
the blaze under control. Harry
Goldstein discovered the fire and
gave the alarm from box "a, at
