JOBBER'S GOLD THIRST
UNSLAKED BY TREATS
Congenial Barkeep Shocked to
Find He Must Paw Plumber.

Montclair, n. j., Sept. 9.-"Treats is
treats, but a plumbers bill is some
thing else" according to a decision
handed down in the Montclair District
Court to-day. For ten years Edgar ID:
Alderman, plumber, OF Newton, had
been doing odd jobs for Morris Snyder,
a saloonkeeper, at 2S9 Glenwood Ave
nue., Bloomfield. After each job 1t was
Snyder's custom to say, Have cigar,
Ed" or, How about stein, Ed"
In all those ten years Alderman
never sent a bill. Snyder never ex-
pected one. Recently when the plum Der
was planning to move to Newton from
Bloomfield, he sent a statement to the
saloonkeeper for s17070, covering
charges for services since 1905. The
saloonkeeper refused to pay, saying
the plumber had received compensation
in trade. To-day in the District Court
Judge James P. Mylod awarded Acker-
man a judgment for S41.05 for charges
from 1909 to date. The rest of the bill
was outlawed.
Alderman did not accept the cigars
and drinks as legal tender, he said. He
appreciated the saloonkeeper's gener-
osity but he considered it only an evil
dence of the latter's liking for him and
a means of showing how satisfactory
was the quality of the work.

STEINMETZ CALLS
FORD ONE.SIDED
Famous Engineer Belittles $40,
100000 Peace Gift.
lBy Telegraph % Tho Tribune ]

Detroit, Sept 9--Charles p Stein
metz, the worlds greatest electrical
engineer. who addressed the members
of the Association Of Iron and Steel
Electrical Engineers at their annual
convention here to-day, called Henry
Ford a one-sided geniuj.
Henry Ford, who has asked me to
visit him to-day, Is entitled TO the
qualification of real greatness, but he
is one-sided," said Mr.. Steinmetz.
Hopes may be laid in his $4,000 900
peace offer, but little should be ex-
pected from it,
THE best way to stop me war would
be to talk humanity and not blood
shed and conquest. II the citizens of
the United States want the nation to
remain at peace they should take a
less whole hearted, bitter interest in
the war.
III they would perform their work
and enjoy their play with continu-
ally injecting the sentiment Of the war
into their conversations it would be
the first great peace step.
Science, not devastation. death and
ruination, is destined to bring about
the new civilization of peace and
progress, wonderful electrical. me-
chanical, commercial and agricultural
advances.
Electricity. which. with every other
scientific agency, is in its infancy, is
destined to rehabilitate the soil of the
earth, which has lost productiveness
through lack Of fertilization after
hundreds of harvests. BY supplying
the soil with nitrogen from the air.
through electrical devices. the United
States will be able to feed the world.
The soil needs fertilizing more badly
in the East, but Michigan. with all
other states. must finally resort 10
this. The result will be wonderful,
stupendous, beyond all present view.
This | have talked over with my
friend, Thomas A. Edison. engineer,
wizard. possessor of nearly all present
electrical knowledge, sociologist. psy-
biologist, geologist, evolutionist-the
greatest living American"
