Blame for keeping the rest of the
world from knowing the terrible con-
ditions that have existed in Serbia
for three months rests with the
French and English, censorship,
rather than with the Serbians.
France and England did not want
Austria to know to what straits their
little ally had been reduced. The first
real story of the facts was brought
to England by Sir Thomas Upton,
who made a personal inspection of
conditions. Rough-shodding over the
British press censorship, he openly
declared that, unless the most vigor-
GUS and extensive help Was at once
given, the little Balkan state that had
twice defeated the Austrians In the
cause of the allies stood to lose at
least half of it's population.
Censorship Cost $4,000 Lives.
Sir Thomas Lipton's account of
local conditions failed utterly. how
ever, to give adequate idea of the ter
rible situation. Although it must be
admitted that, while France and
England, through their censorship.
prevented the rest of the world from
knowing and extending the help that
might have saved $4,000 lives. they
have extended a very great help to

expert, with extensive experience In
celebration work, to be the high-sala-
ried pageant director and have full
charge of all preparations and mat
ters in connection with the big
pageant which are to be a splendid
feature of the celebration. The an

ing held for later date.
The fact that a man was to be Sc
cured to handle the pageant was made
known exclusively in the Evening
Star last week. 1t is understood that
a contract has been signed and the
director will reach Newark In the
near future. Many of the most sue
cessful civic celebrations In different
cities have been carried out under his
direction. This celebration is one of
the largest he ever handled and will
give full play to his abilities.
The largest contribution acknowl-
edged today Is for $100 from the

QUEENSTOWN, May II (5:35 a. m.l
The body of Albert Thompson of
Toronto. brought IN by an admiralty
trawler last night, was found drifting
with wreckage near the coast not
far from the scene of the Lusitania
disaster. which leads to the hope
that additional hodies may be found
in that vicinity.
The number of bodies of victims at
Baltimore, a small seaport on the
southern Irish coast, was increased
this morning to ten. Two other
bodies have been brought ashore at
Castle Townsend, near Baltimore.
OF the bodies at Baltimore six are
of men and four of women.
Sixteen bodies were brought into
Queenstown this afternoon by a tug
chartered by the Cunard line. None
of the bodies has yet been identified.
The Cunard line today dispatched
tug to Baltimore to bring all twelve
bodies to Queenstown. Relatives OF
survivors who had planned to leave
today are going to remain over In
the hope of possibility of making
further identiflcations. 1t is reported
here shat one of the bodies at Balti-
more had on it papers bearing the
name Harrison, Main street, Bridge
port, Conn.,, and that on another
there was found the circular of a
firm called Florence & Co., tooth
brush manufacturers, in Connecticut.
A current of from two and n nalf
to three knots races around Old Head
Kinsale, and this has been augment
ed by stiff east wind. which at the
end of eight or nine days may carry
bodies ashore around Cape Clear, on
the west Irish coast. The winds or
dinarily prevailing would have
brought bodies ashore on the Atlantic
coast of Cornwall, England.
There are indications that the
heavy death roll among the Ameri-
can men in the first cabin was due to
scarcity of lifebelts, many of them
having given the life-preserver3 they
had obtained to helpless women.
There is.a preponGerance OF testi-
mony that no American man got into
a boat until after he had been thrown
into the water.

Man Badly Hurt
at Proctor Bid.

Thomas Fl. Sherlock, Of Clark
street, foreman of ironworkers en-
lIloyed on the new Proctor Theatre at
116 Market street, WIS seriously in
jured while at work today and was
removed to the Newark Private Hos
pital In an unconscious condition,
where it is feared he is suffering from
a fracture of the skull.
He was employed by the F. T. Ley
Company, of Springfield, and was at
work on the fourth floor near an open
stairway, while two carpenters were
working near the same opening on
the floor above.
Instead of walking around the
opening Sherlock was about to step
across it just as the carpenters over
head lost their hold on a piece of
planking weighing about fifteen
pounds. The plank struck Sherlock
O glancing blow on the head, and he
was saved from falling through the
opening to the lower floor by fellow
workman who was standing besida
him and who refused togive his name.

JACKSON ST.
BRIDGE SURE
FOR TR0LLEYS
FreehoIders Grant Public Ser
vice Right to Run Cars to
Peps' Grounds.

The ioint bridge committee of Essex
and Hudson counties this afternoon
decided to allow the Public Service to
use the Jackson street bridge for
trolley traffic The price for that
privilege will be fixed by the Public
Utility Commission. To this agree
ment both the freeholders and the
company expressed their Willingness.
TT Is understood the work of laying
the tracks will be done Immediately
IN order to accommodate patrons OF
the Newark Federal League, which
has it's grounds near Fourth street,
Harrison.
With this privilege, the Public Ser
vice can now run cars to the Peps'
grounds at Harrison. 1t is believed
that work will be commenced at
once, so as to carry the large croWus
to and from the grounds.
The proposition was advanced by
Freeholder Richard f. Mattia, VINO
said that of late the Public Service
was very obstinate and that they
would have to bow to the price nXed
by the Public Utility Board.
The price asked by the committee
was $500. To this Edward A. H1ne
objected lot In6 IIOll0y

FREEHOLDERS
HAVE PLAN Of
HIGH FINANCE
Invite Taxpayers TO View 1t
and See Low
Rate.
BUDGET INCREASE $4oo, 900,
BUT NO JUMP IN TAXES
Mr.. Malta Originator and FL
nance Committee Adopts
Scheme.

Essex county taxpayers have been
asked to witness some financeering
or new brand by the Board of
F'reeholders, and see how the latter
will raise s400, 900 more this coming
year than in the fiscal twelvemonth
now coming to a close. and still keep
the county tax rate down to 6944, as
low figure as it was last year.
This invitation to witness the new
financial move by the county govern
ing board was extended by Free
holder Richard f. Malta at the
meeting of the finance committee of
the board yesterday afternoon. when
a tentative budget was made up.
Mr.. Malta predicts that, despite the
increased appropriation of $400.000
that the tax rate would be no higher
than that which prevailed for the
current fiscal year. The total sum
needed for running the county dur
ing the coming year was fixed at
$5, 237, ,S77.20 as against $4,816, S43.S6
for the year now drawing to close.
In explaining how the tax rate
would remain stationary, in the face
of a budget increase of nearly
half-million dollars, Mr.. Malta said
that there was about 100000 left in
the contingent fund from the fiscal
year 1914, and that about $4,000 more
revenue was taken In by the county
than the anticipated s405,000. 1t is
believed that there will be an equal
increase this year, making 100000 to
be added to the $500, 900 remaining in
the county's contingent fund.
Following is a comparative state
ment of the proposed budget items,
together with the figures for the
same uses last year:
