FOR THREE HUNDRED WEEKS

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, July 31;-Under
a decree rendered by Judge Peter F.
DAILY here yesterday Mrs. Mary B.
Kohler, of Perth Amboy, will receive
s945 a week for 900 weeks, funeral
expenses in the amount of s100, or
a total of s2,935 as compensation
for the death of her husband at the
Nixon Nitration Works near Metuch-
en-. The case was heard in court
here yesterday and it was not con-
tested by the powder company, the
only desire in letting it go to court
being to have the court determine
the amount of compensation to be
paid.
Mrs. Kohler and her two children,
one four years old and the other six,
sought compensation after means of
support had vanished when their
husband and father was killed. The
latter, Eugene Kohler, was drawn in
to some cogs and crushed to death
some weeks ago He was earning SO
a day for seven days week, making
s21 a week, at the time. The court
based the amount of compensation
upon this pay, according to the law.

Washington, July 31-The United
States undoubtedly would reject a
proposition to refer such questions
as the German-American controversy
over the Lusitania to The Hague, it
was said in well informed circles
here today. A United Press dispatch
from Berlin intimated such an offer
might be made. Secretary Lansing
said no hint of the kind had come
from an official source. He would
not say how it would be regarded if
it came. Subordinate officials said
they already knew such matters

son that he sent vigorous represents
tions to Carranza, Villa and Zapata,
calling upon them to restore communi-

Mr. Lansing reported to the presi

that immediate relief seemed to be

ALDERMEN PLAN ON

Consider Request for Granite
Block on Gordon Street Hill
and Have Other Business.

Concurring with Mayor Garretson
In the opinion that it is necessary to
have a permanent pavement laid on
Convery place by the time the new
bridge across the Lehigh Valley
tracks at that point is completed,
the Board of Aldermen took steps to
plan for the work at their commit
tee meeting last night. The alder
men considered a request to place
block instead of vitrified brick on the
Gordon street hill, made provisions
to receive bids for number OF
street pavements on August 16, in
stead of 5, and discussed number
of other subjects.
1t has practically been decided by
the aldermen to pave Convery place,
from Smith street to New Bruins
wick avenue with asphalt block, ex-
cept a short stretch on a decline.
from the northerly abutment to
Sayre avenue, which will probably
be paved with granite block. The
pavement is to be a permanent one,
extending from gutter to gutter. 1t
is proposed to have it completed at
the same time that the new bridge
| is finished.

of property owners have announced
