FIRE APPARATUS IN
SUCCESSFUL TEST
Powerful Motor Forces High
Streams Into the Air-An-
other Test This Afternoon.

A successful test of the new Boyd
fire apparatus was conducted shortly
after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The machine fulfilled requirements
and provisions of the specifications as
far as the test went. Commencing at
o'clock this afternoon 1t will be
to life test to show what
1t can do in sucking water out OF the
river, sound or pond and forcing IT
into the air in several streams. 'e-
cause Fire Chief Tooker thought IL
more advisable to use large hy-
drant, the location of yesterdays test
was transferred at the last minute
from the foot of Fayette street to
Fayette and Maple streets.
Chairman John w. Kelly, of the
city's fire committee, announced to-
day that there was every indication
that the apparatus would meet every
requirement. Its powerful motor
forced three streams high in the ar
at one time at the test yesterday.
Pumping through the aerial ladder
connection of Protection Hook and
Ladder Company's truck, at height
of about thirty-five feet, 1t gave
pressure of seventy pounds to the
inch through a one and three-quarter
inch nozzle. This pressure was de-
clared by experts to be equal to a
pumpage of 750 gallons a minute at
the height of nearly forty
feet, and it was stated that this 1ndi-
Gated the engine and pump would
deliver 900 gallons a minute on the
ground A pumpage Of 900 gallons
a minute is the requirement.
The machine worked to perfection
during the test. Not a hitch oc-
CURED and the big six-cylinder motor
ran equally well tor propelling the
big machine and for pumping water
The suction force of the pump under
the great speed it was subjected to al
most drew the water main dry at the
hydrant used and pipe sediment or
mud was encountered. The test was
conducted by Frank Van Syckle and
a representative of the Boyd auto
company, the manufacturers. Mayor
Ferd Garretson was among the spec
tatorS.

man Submarine Fired Missile.
London, Aug. 20 = The White Star
liner Arabic of 1891 tons was tor
pedoed by an unseen German subma-
rine at 9:15 o'clock in the morning
while fifty-tive miles off Old Head of
Kinsale, Ireland, on her way to New
York Four hundred and twenty three
souls were on board-1S0 passengers
and 243 crew. She sank in ten min
utes
Latest advices from Queenstown say
that thirty-two lives were lost, five Of
the passengers and twentyseven of
the crew This means that 175 of the
1870 passengers and 216 of the crew of
243 were saved
From the mcst accurate information
available there Were about thirty-five
Americans aboard. 1t is learned from
Liverpool that there were a score of
Americans among the crew, and the
White Star offices In London state that
fifteen American passengers sailed.
The Arabic was torpedoed without
warning. She was struck on the star
board side about 100 feet from the
stern, one torpedo being sufficient to
do the work. Fortunately for those on
board, the weather was fair and the
sea calm. But the item which count
ed for most in saving so many Of the
passengers was the splendid team
work and efficiency of the crew, who
managed to load sixteen lifeboats and
lower them safely before the steamer
turned over.
The Arabic's grave Is about forty
miles south of the spot where the Lusi-
tania lies. She went down sixty five
miles southeast of 'Fastnet Rock and
ifty-f1ve miles south of Old Head of
Kinsale, both on the south coast of
Ireland, in a region where German
submarines have been active since the
opening Of the war zone decree.

Shown for the Prisoner.
spec,al to Tho gvENINo Me- ws.

Special to tho EVENING NE US.
New Brunswick, Aug. 20:-It was
with pity and deep feeling for the
prisoner who stood before him and
his family that Judge Peter F. Daily
today sentenced Edward Tymrakie-
wicz, former excise commissioner in
Perth Amboy, to spend week In the
county jail, pay a fine of 800 and
stand committed to Jail until the full
amount was paid The utmost len
iency was shown the accused man,
the court remarked, and 1t was an
exceptionally hard task to pass SEN
tence after 80 many requests Tor
leniency had been made and the.
judge had been so greatly impressed
with the combined pleas of Tymra-
kiewicz's wife, her mother and his
mother. The former excise board
member was charged with embez-
zling s811S6 from Balinski Broth
ers, of Elizabeth. Restitution was
made, Tymrakiewicz's father-in-law
having mortgaged a house in order
to pay Balinski brothers all that was
due them and to pay other expenses.
Tymrakiewicz is the man who is
accused Of having jumped HIS bail
bond of $1,000, furnished by former
Recorder Henry W. Kehoe, and fed
to Los Angeles, Cal. He was located
there and when supplied with tic
ket and expense money by Mr..
Kehoe, returned to give himself up.
It was charged that he embezzled
from Balinski Brothers, who are
wholesale liquor dealers, on Febru-
ary 2, 1915. In passing sentence
Judge DAILY remarked that the busi-
ness of collecting for liquors sold,
which he was in, laid man open to
temptation, as a man doing such
work must necessarily spend money
to procure business. He also re-
marked that Tymrakiewicz came
from good family and had been a
school teacher in Perth Amboy. He
has already spent more than three
days in Jail. Judge Daily told of the
accused mans wife, his mother and
mother-in-law coming to his office to
plead for leniency He did not thank
those who had sent them, as such oc-
currences were occasions which
made his position a most difficult
one. Concluding with the statement
that the utmost leniency would be
shown to Tymrakiewicz under the
circumstances, Judge DAILY sentenced
the prisoner.

APPROVE STOCK ISSUE
'peoioI to the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, Aug. 20:-The State
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers has just approved an issue of
$4,000 capital stock and $4,000
for the Trenton, Lakewood, 6 Sea-
coast Railway Company. The pro-
eeeds are to be used to construct the
company's line from Lakewood to
Point Pleasant. The company asked
for permission to issue 100000 CAPT
tai stock and $4,000 in bonds, but
the utility board cut this to the
sums named Some OF the bondhold-
ers of the company, led by former
Senator George o. Vanderbilt, OF
Trenton, opposed the issues in the
sums asked for by the company.
They claimed such large issues were
not needed and to grant them would
be an imitation that would injlIre the
bonds already in their hands.

Z AMERICANS AND so OTHERS
DROWN WHEN ARABIC SINKS
Continued from page II
Sinking Causes Crisis.

Washington, Aug. 20.-The crux of
the crisis growing out of the sinking
of the Arabic by German submarine
is whether the torpedo was fired with
out warning. as claimed by White Star
officers, and whether American lives
were lost. The latter contingency, off
cials here admit informally, would
place the attack within the scope of
the deliberately unfriendly" act
against which Germany was warned
in President Wilson's last submarine
note to Berlin
| While the German attack upon the
Arabic would thus seem to call for ac-
tion on the part of this government In
support of the presidents warning to
Germany, 1t Is realized here that the
seriousness of the situation will depend
on whether or not any American pas
sengers on the Arabic lost their lives.
A Question of American Sentiment.
The belief In Washington was that
the people of the United States will not
demand drastic action toward Ger
many unless American lives have been
sacrificed
If all the American passengers on
the Arabic have been saved the case
would seem to be on all fours with re-
cent attempts by German submarines
to torpedo the steamship Orduna,
which also was flying the British flag.
they violated the rights of Americans
under these circumstances, would ap
parently only be one of decree.
The state department has received
en- official list of sixteen American
survivors, but no other definite In
Arabic.
The president and Secretary Ian
sing, however, have refused to draw
any conclusions. They are keeping
their minds open until all OF the facts
have been officially received.
Situation Considered Grave.
Administration officials regard this
new development In the German sub
marine campaign very gravely. The
record of the last few weeks, especial
~ since the dispatch of the last Amer
lean note to Berlin, had led President
Wilson and his advisers to hope that
the protest of the United States finally
had had its desired effect, and the
German submarine commanders would
carry on their attacks in the future in
accordance with the international
rules of search and seizure.
Now all this optimism On the part
Of the Washington officials has been
severely shaken, and If the early ac-
counts Of the sinking of the Arabic are
confirmed this government is again
confronted with the ever present dan
ger Of a German submarine attack,
which will compel It to take steps at
least toward the severance of diplo-
matte relations.
