JERSEY CITY TO
ASK FOR WATER
FROM WANAQOE
To Unite With Newark IN Get
ting Additional Supply.
Attend Hearing.

Jersey City officials are preparing
to enter claim for a share in the
Wanaque watershed and will be heard
from when the State Water Supply
Commission gives its hearing on the
question May % in Newark City Hail.
Laurent Tonnele. Hudson county
member of the State commission, is
urging Jersey City officials to make
a showing in force at the hearing,
and 1t Is said that George F. Bren-
singer, director of finance, and Henry
Byrne, director of streets and public
improvements. will head a strong del
egation in urging that Jersey City be
given equal privileges with Newark
and Paterson in getting water from
the big wooded section in the northern
part of the State.
Commissioner Tonnele explained his
attitude in the matter in public
statement, in which he said:
Jersey City is deeply interested in
the situation. Before long the Boonton
watershed will cease to answer all
of Jersey City's requirements. While
Newark and Paterson are reaching
for the Wanaque river shed in North
Jersey, Jersey City Will find 1t advan-
tageous to present her claims with
due regard for the future. | have an
idea that the hearing on In Newark
will be worth attending by the repre-
sentatives of Jersey City"

FIGHT FILMS
BARRED FROM
NEWARK PORT
Judge Haight's Decision Will
Be Appealed in Higher
Court.

Judge Haight's decision, den. ing
an application for an injunction
which would permit the willard
Johnson fight pictures to be entered
at the port of Newark, will be ap-
pealed from Monday in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals at
Philadelphia. Towne & Spellman, of
New York city, counsel for L. Law
renee Weber, owner of the films, an
nounced today that If the injunction
is not granted by the Circuit Court
the case will be taken to the Tinted
btates Supreme Court next month, II
possible.
The injunction applied for was to
restrain Frederick s. Freed, chief
deputy collector of this port, from in
terfering with the entry of the films
here. The application was based on
the alleged unconstitutionality of the
congressional act of July 81, 1918,
which prohibits the importation or
interstate transportation of moving
pictures of prize fights.
Counsel for Weber argued that Con-
gress exceeded its authority when
making this law. Assistant United
States District Attorney Charles H.
Lynch commended that Weber knew of
the law when the films were made
and speculated on the congressional
act being set aside. Mr.. Bodine said
that Weber's financial interests
should not be considered of greater
importance than the detrimental ef-
feet which the moving pictures would
have on the morals of the public.
The argument was heard last Friday
in the Newark branch of the United
States District Court.
Judge Haight made his decision
yesterday afternoon, holding that the
congressional act is constitutional.
The full text of the decision may be
given out this afternoon, when Judge
Haight has had an opportunity to re-
wise 1t.
Benjamin F. Spellman, of counsel
for Weber, today said that Judge
Haight's decision was anticipated.
I'VE have arranged with Judge
Haight to facilitate the bringing of
our appeal before the United States
Court of Appeals as speedily as pos
sible,'' said Mr.. Spellman. 1t was not
expected a judge of the District Court
would declare the act of Congress was
void
Next Monday we hope to present
our argument to the Circuit Court. II
that court does not uphold us we will
take the appeal to the United States
Supreme Court. At all events we
hope to have the highest court pass
on the appeal some time in June, SO
that the pictures will be shown to
the public In the latter part of the
month. There can be no answer to
the arguments we make against the
law. 1t is a plain case of Congress
assuming too much police power
under the guise of regulating COM
merce."

Police Assert They Found
Kragcik Trying to Choke
His Wife With a Rope

On charges that he assaulted his
wife and attempted to choke her
with rope, Peter Kragcik, forty
nine years old, of SO Ferguson street,
was held in $4,000 bail for the grand
jury by Judge Mancusi-U -Ungaro in
the Third Precinct Court today.
Kragcik was arrested at his home
last night by Sergeant Heller and
Patrolman Collins, of the Third pre-
cinct.
The police were summoned by
neighbors who heard Mrs. Kragcik' S
cries. According to the police they
found that the man had forced his
wife into a chair and was attempting
to place the rope about her neck.
They placed him under arrest and
locked him in a cell at the Third pre-
cinct station.
The couple have six small children
and Kragcik has been out of work,
according to his wife, for several
months. The quarrel took place last
night, she says, when she urged him
to go out and look for work.

Mr.. Murphy Has Not Yet
Decided Upon His Course
Regarding Museum Election

Former Governor Franklin Murphy
has not made up his mind yet as to
whether to continue as president of
the trustees of the Newark Museum
Association and as member of the
board, or insist that his resignation,
sent in two weeks ago, be accepted
Mr.. Murphy resigned, both as pres
ident of the board and as member.
The trustees on Tuesday night re-
fused to accept the resignation and
reelected him president. Mr.. Muir
ply said he received a note from John
Cotton Dana, secretary and director
of the museum association, to that
effect today
EVEN if l do decide today I feel
that the trustees should know my
decision before anyone else" said
Mr.. Murphy. He was asked about
the truth of the rumor that he was
prompted to resign by a difference
between Mr.. Dana and DR.. Archibald
Mercer. chairman OF the executive
COMMITTEES. '1 have nothing to say
about that" he replied.

SHIP COALING DEVICE MAY
BRING BIG WAR ORDER HERE

ing squadron is simply that the Ves-
sells need never leave their posts. AT
present the majority OF ships OF the
nations at war have to go to coalngi
stations, or get out of danger range
to coal, and are inactive and prac-
tically out of commission during that
period.
The first device of this kind was
built for the United States govern
ment in 1898. The growth of war
vessels has necessitated improve
ments which have resulted in a ma
chine now capable of transferring
eighty tons of coal in an hour, as
against the twenty tons capacity Of
the first machine. During the Russo
Jap war Russian vessels were equip
ped with the device.
Mr.. Miller said yesterday his ma
chine operates on the shade-roller
principle. A cable, over which trav-
els coal-bearing receptacle,
stretches between the collier and the
warship. As the ships near or grow
farther apart, a great steel reel auto
matically takes in or gives out the
cable, keeping it taut.
The Lidgerwood Company supplied
many big steam shovels and steel
cars for use in the Panama Canal
excavation and has done much other
government work.

A contract for s1,2O0,000 worth of
work may come to Newark from one
of the nations at war as result of a
demonstration of machine invented
by Spencer Miller, chief engineer of
the Lidgerwood Manufacturing COM
pany, to be given before representa-
tives of a foreign government at the
companys local plant, at Frelinghuy-
sen avenue and Peddie street, next
week.
Mr.. Miller's invention is q contriv
ance for the coaling of ships at sea.
It has already been adopted by the
United States government. The cost
of fitting a ship is $4,000. The nation
now considering the employment of
the device has forty ships of the type
on which the device Is most useful
that is, In the battleship and dread
nought classes.
BY the employment of this device
battleship, 1t is claimed, can coal
from a collier while proceeding at
twelve knots an hour, in any sea not
too rough to permit of towing the
collier. The battleship South Caro-
lima was recently coaled in a sea in
which the collier rolled 20 degrees.

The cabin was vacated years ago.
Mr. Niper comes from a family OF

has gone to the polls ninety-four COLI
secutiVe times, rain or shine, to cast
q Democratic vote, but all of his Six
sons, the youngest of whom is sixty
six years old are staunch Republic

Niper spent his youth, was torn down
some five years ago to make way for
the LackaWanna CUTOFF. the roadbed
of which now runs through where the
old cabin stood for more than 15o
years
Mr. Niper is one of the few men,
If not the only man alive, who voted
for Andrew Jackson for President of
the United States. He was married
at the age of twenty-one. His wife
died fifteen years ago, and at the
time of her death was about ninety
years old.
One of the reasons the old man
gives for living to be 107 years old
Is that he comes from old fashioned
parentage, is temperate in using
alcohol and tobacco, eats three
square meals a day, comprised of
homely food, rye bread, fruit, meat
and plenty of mush and milk Mr.
Niper's father died in his ninety
ninth year, his mother at the age of
ninety-seven. His six sons are Sid

sixty six -year-old twins, Thul and
Francis.
When asked about his health the
old centenarian replied that he had
never been sick to amount to any,
thing. He prefers to walk to church,
to the stores and to visit his many
relatives and friends who live sew

hear charges of perjury against all
those who had signed the affidavit

SUIT
REVEALS LOST
LANDOWNER
Man May Furnish Information
TO Clear Title of Branch
Brook Plot.

After search lasting seventeen
years heirs of the estate of John
Baier, of New York, who died in 1881,
have been located, and the city of
Newark may now get i clear title to
plot of ground located in .srlnen
Brook Park, which the city bought
in for back taxes.
In accordance with the laws, the
city advertised for the heirs after
the purchase of the property in 1898.
The plot measures 30 by Ga feet and
is located at point at what was
Temple street. Nothing was heard as
a result of the advertisement, but the
search was kept up, however.
A week ago ]. Frederick Baier. of
Brooklyn, appeared in the Orphans
Court as a contestant of the will of
his grandmother, Mrs. Margaretha
Traitteur, who died in Newark last
July. George w Porter, head of the
Martin act department, was attracted
by the similarity of the name and
started an investigation.
Although there is no record of the
Baier family to show that the prop
erty was ever owned by John Baier,
certain facts in possession of the city
tally with records in the estate, and
Mr.. Porter now believes the per-
sons sought have at last been found.
The law covering the subject says
property may be redeemed by the
heirs upon the payment of all the
back taxes with interest at IL per
cent, compounded, from the time of
the last payment of the taxes. II
the heirs desire to do so they could
redeem the property and perhaps
erect a bungalow in one of the pret-
tiest spots in Branch Brook Park.
But this, however, Is thought unlike
ly, for the redemption of the property
would entail the payment of a sum
of money several times greater than
the value of the property.
Instead, 1t Is understood, they will
acknowledge themselves the heirs of
John Baier and permit the city to
complete its title to the plot.
