Will Buy 3 American
Will Buy 3 American
LaFrance and z Christie

An ordinance authorizing the city to
purchase an aerial tractor truck and
two motor chemical combination hose
wagons from the American La France
Company at the special offered price of
S1O,SO0, was introduced in City Coun-
ell this afternoon by NJ. Harvey Taylor
superintendent of parks and public
property. The two combinations will
cost $4,000 each, and the tractor-one
of the $4,000 type-can be had for the
same price. Incidentally the latter
machine will be equipped with a self
starter.
Commissioner Taylor, it is under
stood, obtained the special price from
the American La France Company after
having practically decided to award
the contract for three tractors to the
Christie Company. and two combina-
tion chemicals to the Morton Truck
and Tractor Company, this city. He
was prepared to make this recommen-
dation last week after having delayed
for four weeks at the request of the
Morton Company. which wanted to dem
onstrate its machines. To the surprise
of Mr.. Taylor, the local firm withdrew
its bid as Councils session opened last
week.
The contract for the other two trac-
tors will be awarded to the Front Drive
Motor Company, of Hoboken. n. j.,
manufacturers of the Christie type. at
its bid of $4,000 apiece. The contract
for all the apparatus will be awarded,
Mr.. Taylor said to-day, after next Tues
days meeting following the passage of
his special ordinance.

ASSESSORS COULDN'T
PAD LISTS FOR GAIN
Clerk to County Commissioners
Explains How Lists Were
Unusually Large

Another special session of the
County Commissioners was held to-
day to consider the tax generations
from the city wards claimed for 1914.
In some instances many returns
were questioned because the commits
sioners could not find that the voters
assessed were bona fide In discuss
ing this question William A. Nell
benny, one of the clerks, said that the
assessors in some instances last year
had evidently placed lot of names on
the books too late to look them up for
Verifcation. AS to the report that the
lists had ben deliberately padded" in
order that the assessors might claim
additional pay, he said this couldn't be
true. The assessors are paid a GER
tain amount for each days work that
is required in making up these re
turns" said he. I'VE know about how
long it will require because we have
to do the copying here. Naturally we
could determine whether any big extra
lists were causing overtime or not.
Edward Mcfarland, the Second
ward assessor, last year brought in IT
list of several hundred. These, no
said, he got at o'clock on the Satur-
day night before election. OF the 290
names, he said. LAG had been given him
by the Washington party chairman.

late, he declared, that he had not had
a chance to investigate them, so he
simply filed the list. or that whole
list, however" concluded Clerk Nell
benny, 81 don't believe fifty of them
voted. Most of the names were those

taken at the time, but who moved

Mayor Turns Over Dixon
Letter to City Solicitor

Mayor John X. Royal explained to
City Council this afternoon that he
had received n letter from DIR. Samuel
Dixon, State Health Commissioner. rel
ative to the sewerage disposal plant
and a communication from City Engi-
neer NJ. b. Cowden The latter's let
ter explains just what the State Health
Commissioners notice means.
In effect this is, that the State au-
thorities want the city's request to eX-
tend the sewerage disposal permit
time limit in order to keep the depart
mental records in proper form. Mr..
Cowden explained that the plans for
the disposal plant had been submitted
to the State Health department several
years ago. but that no action had been
taken because there is no money
available and because the recent river
front improvements practically elimi-
nate the need for the plant.
At the mayors suggestion the letter
was referred to City Solicitor Seitz to
answer.

CRAzED MAN ENDS z
LIVES WITH PISTOL
Philadelphian Murders Grand
mother and Then Shoots
Himself

Philadelphia, March 30.-Mrs. Clo-
tilda Cohen, SO years old, member of
prominent family of this city, was
shot and killed to-day by Henry b.
Cohen, her grandson, who then turned
the revolver on himself inflicting q
wound from which he died later in a
hospital. The tragedy occurred in
Mrs. Cohen's home and she was killed
while in bed.
Henry r. Cohen's bedroom adjoin
ed that of his grandmother. Acting
upon an impulse inspired bysa sudden
ly deranged mind, it is believed the
grandson must have crept into the
aged woman's room, brought his wea-
pom close to her face and then fired,
The servants in the house heard the
shots and notified the police. Phys-
clans and police were soon on the
scene and after convincing themselves
that the woman was dead, hurried
Cohen to a hospital.
Cohen formerly was in business here
and was member of exclusive clubs.
Several years ago he entered the
lithographing business in Chicago.
He had returned to Philadelphia only
a day or two ago for the Passover.
The absolute purposelessness of the
shooting puzzled the police. Cohen
was we'll liked by his grandmother. He
is said to have been a keen, hard
working businessman who was making
a success OF his career, ana had never
shown insane tendencies His father
talked with him thirty minutes before
the shooting and he says he was then
apparently in good health and SEEM
ingly sound mentally. The family
physician pronounced it a case of sud-
den and unaccountable insanity.
Charles Cohen, Henry's father. is
president of the Chamber of Com
merce. and is paper manufacturer in
this city. His family is an old one and
for many years he has been a promi-
nent figure in the business, civic and
social life of Philadelphia. In 1880
he married Miss Clotilda Florence CO.
hen, of this city. He has two children
besides Henry. They are Lieutenant
Albert Nj. Cohen, now on the United
States battleship Delaware. and Miss
Eleanor Florence Cohen who is a ten
mis- champion of Philadelphia.

COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
nsulsified c6coanut oil (Which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily. and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. It is
very cheap, and q few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.

SPITE FENCE $50 TPRovEMENT'
City Board of Tax Revision Agrees
Upon Compromise For Assessment
of 'Old Glory Barrier of
Levi Balsbaugh

Harrisburg offioially considers a
spite fence" an Improvement. even
though it fiaunts "Old Glory" to a
property to the extent of $50.
Action to this effect was practically
agreed upon this afternoon by council
sitting as a Board of Tax Revision,
following the regular councilmanic
session when the compromise with the
Levi Balsbaugh property, near Mel
rose avenue was accepted. Sometime
ago, the board assessed the property
of Balsbaugh at $3.50 and his spite
fence" at $3.50. The fence was placed
between Balsbaugh's property and
old Orchard belonging to A L. Croft
Balsbaugh declared that he hadn't
been duly notified and that he had
had no chance to protest against the
assessment. The compromise finally
agreed upon was that $3.50 should be
allowed for the ground and $50 for the
fence.
