MINORITY WILL FIGHT PLAN
 FOR B. & M. RECEIVERSHIP

the one interpretation to place on
 that letter, both as to it's contents and
 as to he ac of publishing it.
 T was quoted in a morning pa
 per- MT. McClintock said yesterday,
 ''as saying that I did not believe this
 move for a receiver was a bluff. What
 I intended to convey was that I was
 unwilling to characterize this action
 in any way, either as a bluff or other
 wise." He said 1t was not yet def1-
 nitely settled that the Connecticut
 River would oppose the receivership.
 Reports later stated, however, that
 both the Connecticut River and the
 Concord and Montreal would oppose
 the application for a receivership, and
 at present contemplate making no
 new proposal to their lesee.
 A dispatch from Concord, N. H., last night quoted a director of the Concord and Montreal as saying: If
 you are looking for a reason why the Connecticut River road will not break with the Concord and Montreal to join any alliance against 1t with the Boston and Maine you will find it on the map of New Hampshire. Not until the topography of New Hampshire Is changed will it be for our interest. I understand that the short-term notes held by various parties against the Connecticut River road about which some Boston and Maine people are much concerned have been taken care of by our friends. The relin-
 quishment of 3 per cent. of our ren- tals, equal to cutting down our in- comes from this source one-ffth, is no small matter in many cases where the stock is held by trustees and the l railroad stock constitutes the princi- pal source of income of the holder.
 It seems to me that the proposition of President Kimball and President
 McClintock is an entirely fair one,
 based upon a valid and legal contract v ] President McClintock said yester- day: We were not entirely unpre- pared for the application for a re- ceiver for Boston and Maine and have
 considered all possible contingencies
 growing out of such step, even to l separation of the Connecticut River from the system and operation as an | independent unit. I am a lawyer and l not a railroad man, but l have been l informed by competent railroad men that the Connecticut River could be
 independently operated at a profit, al- ! though at how much of profit only the future could determine.
 "When the hearing on the appnca- l tion for a receiver comes up, the Con- 1 necticut River will probably claim the ] legal right to intervene and be heard. i But it is not yet settled that we small i oppose the receivership. There mas ! been some expression of opinion, even among leased line interests, that u might be best for the courts to nan dle the situation. But l oeheVe 'le Connecticut River has the legal right to be heard, although sos bos'4h 4ha+ ''rt it has not

PUBLIC ECONOMICAL.
Showing Greater Care in Use of Wa
 ter from Mains.

Figures at the office of the water board, as compiled by F. J. Egan, seem to prove that the residents of the city are beginning to realize the saving to be effected by the elimina- tion of wastage in the use of city water. There are about 910 houses in the city which are now using water and paying the minimum rate against $40 for six months ago. The meters of these houses are not being forced beyond the minimum figures by vast age
 Were the whole city to suddenly to come to a point where there was used but the minimum amount in each house there would be an increase in the water rates as the minimum would not support the water depart ment. However, the heavy users of water are paying much more than others and the income of the depart ment is seemingly secure.
 The factories of the city used sO,- 817, 300 cubic feet of water in the last six months, an increase of four or five million cubic feet over the preceding six months.

WIFE FOUND DYING;
 HUSBAND MISSING
Couple Thought Attacked by Two
 Men Seeking Revenge

Caldwell, N. J., Aug. 24.-Mrs. Laura Post of Two Bridges, was awakened early yesterday by hearing groans from the lawn outside her house. There she found her neighbor, Mrs Frank Miller, crawling across the grass, semi-conscious and badly injured.
 Mrs. Miller's nose and jaw were broken, her left eye and forehead were cut and numerous laceratlons and bruises were about her face. She was in such a condition that she could not tell what had happened.
 After Drs. Edwin F. Bond and George B. Verbeck of Caldwell had treated Mrs. Miller's wounds they sent for the police, and Chief Harkey of Caldwell began an investigation.
 Husband Is Gone.
 He found mystery imm mediately. Frank Miller, the Woman's husband, had disappeared, although his cloth ing was beside the bed, where he had left it upon retiring.
 According to the doctors and the chief, it appeared as though Mrs. M1lloT ndd DSeU SlI uCh ny d CldD o1llSA then had been thrown down a flight of stairs, for a large quantity of blood was at the foot of the steps.
 William Cannon, a caretaker who was found asleep in the barn, said Miller had probably met foul play. He had told Cannon, the latter said5T of having an altercation at Singac, N. J., on the previous day with two men who said they would get re- venge.
 Mrs. Miller's mind appeared to be a blank all day and no information could be gotten from her. But Cannon and neighbors inclined toward the ; theory that a stranger had injured her and perhaps carried off her hus- band, as no difficulties were known to exist between husband and wife. ! The Millers are we'll to do and have 1 three automobiles. The husband is 1 fifty; the wife forty-two. They went i to Two Bridges from Arlington, where i MT Miller was in the dairy produce i business. Years ago he owned sev- 1 eral race horses and followed the 1 tracks.
 1 A hundred dollars and several val uable watches and pieces of jewelry in the house were untouched. The police of Morris and Essex Counties 1 are busy on the case.

JUDGE S3MUEL SE28ORT

Democrats of New York, assem- bled in unofficial convention, gave their indorsement for the guberna- torial nomination in the primaries to Judge Samuel Seabury of the court of appeals, the court of last resort in New York state. Judge Seabury is a native resident of New York city and has practiced law there for about twenty years. In 1901 he was elected judge of the city court, and In 1906 he won election to the state supreme court, being advanced to the court of appeals in 1914. He is one of the youngest men who ever sat in that high tribunal, being only forty-three years old now. In a recent inter view, that was read widely, Judge Seabury affirmed his strong faith in progressive democracy.

GAS TANK IN FLAMES
Residents of Harlem Herded to Places
 of Safety by Police in Fear of Ex-
 pIosion While Bremen Risk Elves.

New York, Aug. 24.-Harlem for two hours yesterday was like a Euro pean city just before a bombardment. With a gas reservoir of 5,000,000 cu- bic feet capacity in flames at 10th street, between First and Second ave- nues, threatening, it was feared, a tre- mendous explosion, the surrounding population fled frantically from the neighborhood. Herded by police re- serves the refugees were driven north and west.
 Some went on foot, others on trol- leys, elevated trains and 'buses. De- livery wagons and trucks were con- mandeered. Meantime firemen swarmed about the blazing tank and climbed it's sides, playing their hose until the fire was eXtinguished. The danger past, hundreds of persons 1s- sued from cellars, whither they had fled when the danger came.
 Although Deputy Fire Chief Hayes l said 1t was the most critical situation 1 he had ever faced, Robert F. Living 1 ston, of the Consolidated Gas Com 1 pany last night asserted that any supposition that the tank could have exploded was "ridiculous.''
 ITO have an explosion of gas there must be five parts of gas to one of air." he said. 'As long as there is any gas in the holder there can be
 no explosion. If the holder had 1 buckled from the heat and gas es- 1 capped the escaping gas might have | burned as 1t met the outside air. but 1 there would have been no explosion D The tank contained 10O,0 900 cubic
 feet of gas. When the fire was dis ] covered this was drawn off and piped to other tanks. The fire was caused l by the ignition of oil on top of the
 water in the turned up ledge of g
 section of the holder.
