CAR WAS
OVERTURNED

Night before last three men in
Ford touring car were going out North
Pearl street; they were all in hilar-
ious condition.
There were some distractions about
the building operations of the new
Wesley Memorial Church upon which
were lighted lanterns to give warning
signals.
These men in the car plunged reck-
lessly into the distractions and the car
was overturned. One of the men was
cut about the head but the other two
seemed to be uninjured.
Max Feinstein came along with his
car and his family; it was about 10
o'clock, and he saw he could give them
no help. Others came and Israel Evan
the building mover, with hisapparatus
got them out in couple of hours, and
they were put in their car and went on
their way. Being Ford car, of course,
soon as it was put on it's wheels, right
side up, it went on as though nothing
had happened it.
The neighbors in the vicinity did
NOT learn who any of the men were
but they were from out about Wood
ruff. They were an old man and his
two sons. The old man was so full he
could not navigate, but the boys W ere
not so badly off. One of the boys was
cut about the face. DR.. Cornwell was
sent for and fixed him up. The old
man was taken to the home of a
daughter, but the boys went on to
their home.

In response to the report in the
Philadelphia papers of an attack upon
Tabernacle Evangelism by Bishop
Berry, the following night letter was
sent last night:

Episcopal Church.
Connellsville, Pa.
I'VE trust that the attack upon Ia
bernacle Evangelism, reported in to-
days papers, was not intended to in
clude George Wood Anderson. He is
now working here, and we co-operat-
ing Methodist pastors declare his
methods to be entirely different from
those criticised

Tom Lewis is a whole musical and
personal entertainment. He has the
Welsh joyousness and fire, and the
audiences before which he was singing
last summer were witness to his
complete mastery of the platform as
a singer. Day after day, l found my
self going to this irrepressible foun-
tain of song when 1 ought to have
been resting or preparing for my eve
ming lecture. We Travelled together
through all varieties of weather and
he sang and | spoke before all kinds
of audiences. He never failed to touch
the heart and start streams of humor
which dashed and played as beauti-
fully and musically as the cataracts
in his own Welsh hills.
l predict for him a permanent and
enlarging public, who would no more
let him go by without song than the
English public would have done with
out the singing of Sims Reeves, or our
present public without the music of

COUNCIL
DEBATE IS
PERSONAL
Members Talk Earnestly
For and Against
Ordinance.
OPINIONS
VARY MUCH
Ordinance for Water Pipe Passed
Upon Second Reading After an
Acrimonious Debate and
With Record All Awry.

City Council talked last night for
more than two hours about water dis
tribution for Bridgeton, and after a
warm debate in which personalities
crept in, four members of Council
passed on second reading an ordi-
nance which carries the plan of Hen
ry Hettinger and ignored entirely the
plan proposed and recommended by
the Commissioner of Public Works.
In forcing the passing of the ordi-
nance upon second reading the par
liamentary record was so badly twist.
ed that the legislation will never be
approved by bond lawyer and the
whole matter will have to be gone
over again.
All of the members of City Council
were present excepting Mr.. Garwood,
and the preliminary matters were
soon disposed of.
A communication was received and
read from Harry J. Goas, Of the State
Department of Labor, asking for the
use of City Hall at times, to present
an address to workingmen, the de-
partment having In view the procur-
ing of compensation for injured per-
sons under the liability act, without
the aid of lawyers. Council promptly
granted the use of the room for the
purpose.
The various reports of the Commits
sioners were presented, each read and
ordered filed.
The budget of bills approved by
Councilmen was taken up and ord
cred paid, the amounts being charged
to the various appropriations as fol-
lows:

Mr.. Holmes asked the Clerk to read
a section Of the disorderly act which
provides that tramps are disorderly
persons, and subject to arrest and be
sent to Jail. Mr.. Holmes moved that
the Mayor be requested to enforce the
act, calling attention to the fact that
there were a good many tramps go
ing about town, begging, and he felt
may be responsible for petty thieving
The motion was passed, Mayor Whita-
ker being present, said that he was
in entire harmony with the resolu-
ton. A rendezvous in North Bridge
ton, not beyond the city limits, was
talked of and Councilmen thought
that some action should be taken to
break up the camp. Upon motion OF
Mr. Esibill the matter was referred
to the Public Safety Commissioner
City Council discussed somewhat at
length, the advisability of the city
joining with other cities in resisting
the effort of the Camran Company In
attempting to obtain a royalty for use
of a patent upon septic tanks In the
sewage disposal plant, which 1t Is
claimed is infringed upon. A large
number of cities are using the system
and are joining to resist the action OF
the company. It was deemed proper

plan, all had to come through a sim
gle 16-inch main un East Commerce
Street.
President Evans asked if the Com
missioner approved this plan.
Mr.. Fredrick said he could not ap-
prove or condemn as he had not been
consulted. He knew something was
going on but did not know what.
The Commissioner further said that
this plan should be worked out with
reservoir in North Bridgeton. In
that case there would not be such
large pipe. The Commissioner was
frank in saying that he did not believe
this plan proposed would give much
better supply excepting when the
pumps were running. Again Mr..
Friedrich said he did not think the
amended ordinance calling for the
larger pipe, could be laid for $50, 900.
Mr.. Channels made a lengthy ad-
dress asking for more water for
North Bridgeton, and he criticized
former Councils for not providing it.
He felt that Mr.. Hettinger's plan
would provide adequate water supply
for North Bridgeton.
Mr.. Hettinger said that he objected
to Mr.. Holmes stating that this mat
ter had not been taken up with the
Commissioner. Mr.. Hettinger said
that the Commissioner had not given
this plan his endorsement because he
had not been asked for it. Mr. Het-
finger said that the Commissioner was
not consulted concerning this ordi-
nance for reasons that could not we'll
be mentioned here.
Mr.. Hettiger said It was time to do
something. The ordinance had been
laid over one meeting by manipula-
tion.
Mr.. Holmes asked what was meant
by that.
Mr.. Hettinger said the ordinance
was held up without consulting the
committee, and by manipulation had
delayed the ordinance.
Mr.. Holmes said he would take his
part for laying the ordinance over.
Nobody was to blame but the Water
Committee. Don't bawl now," said
Mr.. Holmes. "Play fair, continued
Mr.. Holmes, 'I did not know your or
dinance was to be introduced. Yoa
cannot see anything but what you
want to see.'
The debate continued for some time
all the members discussing it.
Finally the ordinance was passed
upon second reading.
The Corporation Counsel suggested
again that the record was faulty and
requested that the ordinance be with
drawn and clean ordinance be in
troduced and passed with clear rec
ord.
This was discussed at length, but
it was finally permitted to stand as it
was.
Mr.. Channels again directed atten-
tion to the water that was standing
in front of the house of Phineas Bath,
North Pearl Street, and thought that
something should be done to protect
to Mr.. Baths property.
1t was agreed that it would cost
about $1,000 to drain North Pearl st.
to do away with this nuisance.
Council adjourned.

R. u. JOHNSON AGAINST
UNIONIZING AUTHORS
Thinks Their independence
Would Be Endangered.

Robert Underwood Johson, poet, ed
itor and secretary of the American
Copyright League, made known his OBJ
jections yesterday to the utilization Of
the Authors League of America with
the American Federation Of Labor. In
a letter TO the league Mr.. Johnson de-
clared that it was highly important
that the writers of the nation stand IN
their own feet as well as think with
their own heads. Their independence
would be threatened. he thought, by
such an alliance.
Indeed, my chief objection to the
alliance" he wrote, ais that IT would
substitute favor for reason as motive
for action-the calling up to the sup
port of a movement Of cohorts VINO
have no interest in II themselves, ana
thus take on the attitude of Hesslans.
To accept such aid, which would be
furnished on the decision of an inner
circle of directors, simply because they
are organized in a body, would be TO
commit the league TO reciprocal action
which might make the strongest de-
mands upon ones self-respect and in
dependence"
