A TRIBUTE TO
THE MEMORY OF MRS.
WALLACE GREEN

She has gone. She has passed into
that great beyond from which there
is no returning. Mrs Wallace Green
departed from this life June 3, 1915,
after an illness of short duration
Mrs. Wallace Green, as Dora Dunn,
was born at Pine Grove, Nevada, Aug
ust 6, 1894. When but child she,
with her parents, moved to Mason
Valley, where Miss Dora grew to
womanhood During her girlhood she
attended the Barrett school where
she won the lasting love and friend
ship of her classmates and teacher and
all with whom she came in contact,
with her sweet, kind ways; and so she
grew to womanhood.
On February TO-. 1915, Miss Dunn
was united in marriage to Wallace E.
Green, then as he is now, in the U.
s. Forestry Service, stationed at
Bridgeport, California.
Those who watched the courtship
of these two bud and blossom into
love could think of long life filled
with happiness for each of them.
After a happy home wedding Mr..
and Mrs. Green spent two happy
honeymoon months at the Exposition
at San Francisco and other California
points; then returning to her parents
home where she visited until about
May |, at which time they moved to
where they were very happy couple
until Dora's untimely death. She was
suddenly taken with convulsions,
brought on by complication of kid
ney and liver troubles, on the evening
of June |. All the medical aid posi-
Bile was hurried to her bedside, but
she was beyond the help of human
hands and passed away in great
agony about 3 a. m. on the morning
OF June 8. Her mother, Mrs Fred
Dunn, and sister, Ethel, were the only
members of the family able to be pres
ent at her deathbed owing to the sud
denness of her death. Her body was
Immediately brought to her parents
home, where the funeral services were
held at | / a. m, June 5, 1915, conduct
ed by Rev. Frank Summers. Inter-
ment took place at the West Noun
tain Slope cemetery, where Dora was
laid in her last resting place beneath
veritable garden of flowers.
Gods will, not ours, be done" let
us have this for bur comforting
thought, that God knows best and that
Dora has missed all the trials of this
life and is waiting to welcome each
and all of the ones dear to her, on that
shining shore where there is no more
signing, no more suffering, no more
parting.
Dora leaves to mourn her the grief
stricken parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Dunn, two brothers, Clifford and Wal
ter, sister, Ethel, and heart broken
husband, Wallace E. Green Besides
the above mentioned there are many
relatives and friends to whom Dora's
death was shock and who will miss
her smiling face.

An Important Ordinance
Passed on , Readings.
NO OPPOSITION.
Delaware & Atlantic Telephone
Company Want Franchise
to Bury Wires.

With the exception of T. o. Esibill.
all members of City Council were pres
ent last night for the purpose of TAX
Ing up the proposed ordinance to give
to the Delaware and Atlantic Tele-
phone Company franchise to lay con-
duits through the city streets for the
purpose of burying the telephones
lines now upon high poles in the
streets.
The ordinance contains seven sec
|tions.
The. ordinance was first read in its
entirety and then read a second time
by sections. There was but little ar
gument In the adoption of the ordi-
nance.
Section 3 provides that the Tele-
phone Company shall keep the streets
it breaks in proper repair for one year.
Mr.. Hettinger thought that this was
too short, but did not press his objec-.
tions.
Section 4 requires removal of all
poles solely owned and exclusively
used by it except these that may be
required for terminal and distribut-
ing purposes. This, it was explained
would take from the streets a number
of poles, actually II on North Laurel
Street.
Section 6 provides for the life OF
the franchise to be so years.

to the propriety of the SO year fran

Mr.. Fox thought that so years. fran
chise was too long, and suggested 80
years. ,el
+ Solicitor Avis for the Telephone Co.
explained that it would be impossible
to finance such an enterprise for less
than SO years.
The section was adopted as pre-
pared.
The entire ordinance was then laid
over for fourteen days, under the law,
for final consideration.

GRANTED
A DIVORCE
~. r. Wheaton Is Freed

CHOIR TROUBLES
Bridgeton Couple in the chancery
Court Air Their Domestic
Troubles.

The Camden Courier last night
printed the following:
"As sort of double back action
result of Billy Sundays visit to Phila-
delphia last winter, Vice Chancellor
Leaning this morning granted de-
cree of divorce to Nathaniel r. Whea-
ton, of Bridgeton, from his wife, Liz
zie, on the ground she had been un-
duly familiar with William Edgecomb
who, it developed, is choir leader of
a mission in the Cumberland county
metropolis. The husband also gets
custody of two children until such
time as counsel may agree to place
them in some institution.
"It was through Lawyer Walter H.
Bacon, counsel for the woman, who
did not appear, that it was learned
that some of the Bridgetonians had
visited the Sunday meetings and bad
become SO enthused that they deter
mined to have an evangelistic cam
paign all their own. So they organ
lied the mission and Edgecomb be-
came the leader of the choir. Also
Mrs. Wheaton is alleged to have be-
come very much interested in the
work-and Edgecomb.
$50 the husband alleged through
Lawyer Joseph H. Powell, that on
January 1, 1915, and divers other
days." had been guilty of misconduct
with the choirmaster.
s'The Wheatons were married In
1903 by the brides father, Rev e. B.
Somers, then located at Bridgeton. II
was alleged at today's hearing that
on a previous occasion the woman had
been derelict with regard to her mari
tai responsibilities and that her hris.
band had forgiven and tried to forget.
When the further evidence Of her al
legged short comings developed, it was
asserted by Lawyer Powell that the
husband concluded it time to act.
Lawyer Bacon said he had not seen
his client since last May and he ap-
parently appeared in her behalf out
of the goodness of his heart. There
Twas virtually nothing to offer, for no
one appeared for the defense, not even
Edgecomb presenting himself to deny
the allegations. So there was nothing
for the Court to do but advise the
decree"

PACK IS SHORT

Because of unfavorable weather con-
ditions, the tomato pack of 1915 in
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland
was only about one-half of what it
was in 1914. Reports to this effect
were submitted at meeting of the
Tristate Packers Association held in
Wilmington, Del, last week.
For the season recently ended, the
pack in New Jersey was 320,2S2 cas-
es; Delaware, 1881 cases, and Mary
land, 2,S63,375, total of 1857 1853 cas-
es. These same States during 1914
packed 5,S50,OO0 cases.

fire stream thirty-five feet, pro-
vided the pipes are large enough
to maintain that pressure, which
they are not at present"
Thus it will be seen that technical
pressure as shown by instruments at
a test, can not always be depended
upon for practical results.
The expenditure at this time of $780,
900 for adequate fire protection for
North Bridgeton is necessary, far
more necessary than other projects
that are proposed for immediate con-
sideration. The money for the pur-
pose can be raised either by an issue
of bonds, in the usual way, which
would be justified, or by an issue of
short term bonds, which could be
paid off in installments of $4,000 a
year, and thus save long years of inter-
est, and not prove a burden upon the
tax payers.
Again l urge immediate considera-
tion of this subject and hope that there
will be action that will result in pro-
lection that will prevent such disas-
ters in the future, as that of Sunday.

BOTH PUMPS
ARE idle
An Unusual Accident at
Pumping Station.
USING MOTOR.
Public Works Commissioner For
tunate in Having Auxiliary
Motor Pump.

Had fire occurred yesterday after
noon in North Bridgeton there would
have been serious situation. There
was but 80 feet of water in the East
Br1dgeton reservoir and this condition
was not remedied until night, when
the pumping station was able to store
some water in the big concrete basin.
There was an unusual condition at
the new water plant yesterday when
both of the big steam pumping engines
were put out of commission.
The Platt engine was first disabled.
This accident occurred Monday after
noon while the North Pearl Street
water test was being made. The
Third ward section was cut off from
the distributing system so that all of
the water pumped would be forced
through the pipes leading to North
Bridgeton. 1t was while this test was
being made that the steel casting hold
ing the connecting rod, snapped off.
1t will take several days to repair the
damage.
Commissioner Fredrick at once
started up the big Snow pump and
this fachine operated until some time
yesterday morning when a sludge pan
shaft snapped off and this engine will
be useless for two or three days.
The city was fortunate in still hav-
ing an electrically driven centrifugal
pump. This motor was purchased by
the city while the Snow pump was be-
ing removed from East Bridgeton to
the new plant. Commissioner Fred
rick was not willing to depend upon
the single Platt pump and the auxil-
larry service was put in temporarily.
The big motor stands in temporary
lean-to shed outside of the pumping
station. The motor has not been in
service since its installation excepting
for testing occasionally, and only re-
Gently Mr.. Fredrick determined upon
selling the big motor, but as yet had
made no move.
AS soon as the second pumping en-
gine accident, Mr.. Friedrich quickly
hooked up the electric motor to the
centrifugal pump and started pump
ing.
This apparatus will by continuous
running twenty-four hours daily.
pump 100000 gallons of water. The
present normal use is about 100000
gallons, which makes this auxiliary
plant do just about what is required.
Commissioner friedrich said yester-
day that the closest investigation did
not reveal any cause for the break of
the connecting rod Of the Platt en-
gine, while he had not gotten far
enough along with the repairs of the
Snow engine to determine what had
caused that break.
For very many years the city, with
the old water plant, depended entire
ly upon the Snow engine. After the
new plant was started the city depend
ed for two years alone upon the Plat
engine, having nothing as auxiliary
excepting a pump to take water from
the Cohansey river. Now with two
pumps in the station, the city would
be helpless but for the electric motor
which was put in for temporary pro-
lection.
1t is not likely that Commissioner
Friedrich will dispose of the electric
motor, but will now arrange to make
it permanent feature of the plant.

JOLLY SERENADE

A jolly serenade was given last even
ing to Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Afford,
of Bank street, who were recently mar
ried in Atlantic City.
After merry time with horns and
all kinds of noise making instruments
the crowd of serenaders were invited
into the house by Mr.. and Mrs. Afford
and sociable time followed. The
newly married couple received some
fine gifts from their many friends.

BEES IN IVY

The ivy over at the Academy is very
beautiful just now. All other vines
are now losing their leaves and begin
to look very bare, but the sturdy old
ivy still clings to its beautiful foliage.
This year, there have been noticed an
exceptionally large number of bees
and hornets in the ivy. They seem to
have a liking for the sort of blossom
that the ivy bears. Once in awhile,
a hornet flies into a school room caus-
ing some commotion, but as a usual
thing, they are very quiet, and do not
cause any harm.

THE PROFITS
Of The WAR
East and South Absorb
Bulk of Business.
The SITUATION.
AkPeculiar Business Boom Which
Is Based Wholly Upon
the War.
(Fromthe Phila. Ledger.l

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Did anybody ever
see business situation like the pres
ent one-steel mills crowded to the
limit with work, industries tributary
to them proportionately stimulated,
interests remote from the war waking
up, cotton at a high price and in great
demand, grain selling on a basis re-
Imunerative to the producer, railroads
so overcrowded with freight as to cry
for quarter-and in the face of all this
money at per cent?
1t Is not, the Federal reserve sys-
tenn that has caused the cheapness of
money, although the knowledge that
the banks can lend more literally than
under the old conditions has appealed
to the popular imagination. The low
rates for money are due to the slack
ness OF domestic business and the i'm
portation of great quantities of gold.
We should never lose sight of the fact
that the foreign commerce, which Is
now so greatly increased by the war
orders, is and always will be a small
consideration, compared with domestic
commerce. with the production and
consumption of merchandise for our
own use.
Then it is only prudence for those
who are assuming the existence of a
big boom in this country to ask what
is the cause of the present activity
and what, would happen If that cause
were suddenly shut off. What are we
building for ourselves, railroads, troll
ley lines, new waterways, irrigation
systems, factories? None of these
things. The building we are doing
now is for Europe, and If Europe some
day goes out of the market what will
our position be .
The answers to these questions
should cause speculator to look ov-
er his shoulder suspiciously and be
sure that he has on hand plenty of
that great weapon-money, to meet a
possible enemy. Yet. there is every
probability that present speculation
will continue for a long time and even
increase. We shall most likely see
more stocks that have not paid divi-
dends for years mounting to prices
which can be justified only by great
prosperity.
Heretofore, 1t has been Characters
tic of speculative periods that the rates
for money were high, per cent being
minimum often. The reason was
that vast quantities of quick capital
were absorbed in the operations, but
great speculative periods have been
the result of revival in general busi-
ness. 1t may be assumed that money
is cheap now because the speculation
has just begun and the floating capital
has not been taken up. Yet we must
remember that countries Ger which we
have no control may suddenly with
draw the support of the market by de-
claring peace.
AS a result of business and specula-
tive activity the banks ordinarily win
great profits. This time they are not
doing we'll. In this city certain of the
most prominent institutions failed to
earn their regular dividends during
the quarter ended with September.
Others that commonly count on 80 or
40 per cent. each year have to be sat-
isfied with 10. Large banks continue
to refuse deposits calling for interest
of 2 per cent.
