RELIEF
FUND SWELLED
BY TAG DAY"
Collectors Swarm Over City
and Meet With Gener-
Gus Response.
MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND
BUSY ALL OVER CITY
Many Large Individual Contri-
buttons Also Reported by
the Canvassers.

More than 1000 young men and
women distributed themselves about
the city today soliciting contributions
for the relief of Jewish war sufferers
in Europe. Generous responses were
reported early when Newark was on
its way to business for the day, and
a large majority of the persons met
in the streets wore the little white
and red standard attesting their good
will and generosity.
Today was set aside by President
Wilson for the observance of jew
ish Relief Day" throughout the en-
tire country, and taggers were at
work in the Oranges and surround
ing towns, as well az In this city.
Starting from the headquarters in
New Union Hall. 1863 Springfield ave-
nue. as early as o'clock this morn
ing, the taggers, comprising men and
women. both young and old, distrib-
uted themselves throughout the city.
In the business districts girls and
young men bearing the red and white
Jewish relief committee" band on
their arms, were stationed within a
few yards of each other Few in
deed were those who passed through
the principal streets of the city and
were not tagged by the energetic
workers.
The response to the appeal was
general, and the workers met with
few refuSals. Ine American flag was
chosen as the insignia for the tag
day, every one dropping a coin in
the box of one &C the workers had
one of the flags pinned to his coat.
In the business section of the city
one would imagine it was Il national
holiday, so numerous were the flags
worn.
Business Places Invaded.
The stores. theaters and office
buildings were invaded by the tag
gers" and a special committee made
canvass of store owners on the
HIP for special contributions. To
night a committee will visit the cab
arets and restaurants, and addresses
will be made by several of the work
ers. II was estimated that more thar
100 900 tags had been distributed dur
ing the forenoon.
Additional volunteers kept comint
| into the headquarters all day. Hun
dreds of the workers remained ava,
| from their employment to aid i'm th'
! collecting of funds. At noon severa
! hundred high school students, boil
girls and boys, got their parapher'
MALTA at headquarters and started out
E! to aid in the collection. The workers
will continue ,the canvass until mid
night, when they will gather at the
headquarters and make returns.
at is truly a wonderful spirit said
Philip Apter. chairman of the execu-
tive committee, in commenting upon
the enthusiasm displayed by the
workers. Everyone seems TO be i'm
bued with the desire to help. Young

SEMAPHORES ARE
NOT FOR NEWARK.
SAYS COM. REID
Doesn't Approve of Four Cor
ners Traffic Plan Suggested
by Miss Winser.

Semaphores would not be effectual
for regulating traffic at Broad and
Market streets. John l.. Reid, chair
man of the police board traffic com
mlttee, declared today. This system
was suggested in a letter read at a
meeting of the police board yesterday
from Miss Beatrice Winser. member
of the Board of Education.
Miss Winser called attention to the
continual motioning which the traffic
policeman is forced to go through dur
ing the day. and declared that there
would be less possibility for confu-
sion were the signs employed. They
have been used with success in New
York city and other places, she said.
Mr. Reid gave three reasons today
for his opposition to the semaphores.
They were first introduced in Detroit.
he said. and have since been used
with but Indifferent success in Indian
apolis, Atlantic City and other places.
They are in use in New York city,
Mr.. Reid pointed out, only on Fifth
avenue, where signals directing traf-
fic for five blocks are operated sinful
taneously. This system, he declared,
would not be advisable for Newark.
Another point of difference, accord
ing to the commissioner, is the alb
sence of trolley cars on the New York
thoroughfare, and he believes that
the signs. if placed at the Four Cor
ners. would be obseured by the troll
ley cars going in both directions. 1t
is for this reason, he said that sema-
phores have not been used at other
traffic points in New York city.
Before the signal system could be
put into operation here, in Mr.. Reid S
opinion. n campaign of education
would be necessary. A large number
of chauffeurs and drivers now pay
absolutely no attention to such signs
as the police have already established
for the regulation of traffic, he said.

FAMILY WITH
PROPERTY GETS
LIABILITY ms.
Judge Martin Rules in Case of
Workman Whose Folks Are
Worth $4,350.

Awarding the family of Harry
Johansen, workman, who was killed
in the course of his employment, COM
pensation under the employers lia-
bility act, Judge William =. Martin,
in an opinion filed today, declared
that the fact that the young mans
parents own property TO the value of
$4,250 does not take them out of the
class of dependents and relieve the
employer from the obligat ation TO pay
under the law.
The Linde-Griffith Company, Of this
city, the employer, contended that
Johansen's parents and brothers and
sisters We're not dependents, within
the scope of the act, because they had
property and other sources of income
that did not make them entirely de-
pendent upon the decedent. Johansen
was killed by a fall from pile driver
at the new Public Service power
house, Point point December 3,
1914.
At the time OF his death he was
thirty years old and was earning $24
a week. $l5 TO SIT of which, it was
testified, he turned over to his mother
every week for the support of the
household. which consisted of the
parents, a sister, sixteen years old;
II brother, thirteen, and three grown
up sisters. All lived at 344 Union
avenue, Jersey City, in a house owned
by the parents.

Property No Bar.

III seems that under the circum-
stances the possession and ownership
of these two houses should not deprive
the father and mother of the support
and help which was given them by the
deceased son.
The judge then proceeded to point
out, in his decision, that if the value
of the house and savings of the de-
ceased were used at the rate of Sl5 a
week for 300 weeks as contributions to
the family fund to replace those of the
deceased, they would not receive as
much as though he had lived. THE
family could better part with all it's
property than with the contributions
of the SON"
The evidence brought out at the
hearing showed that, while two of the
girls and the father were contributing
to the family eXchequer they would
save practically nothing. 1.-The evil
dence shows" said the court, that
the compensation, if any is allowed,
will not be used to increase the fam
lily savings"
The court allowed compensation at
the rate of $40 a week for 800 weeks,
and directed that 5000 counsel fee be
paid from this sum to Robert Carey,
attorney for the petitioners.

DRINK WATER TO
AVOID SICKNESS
SAYS AUTHORITY
Glass of hot water before break.
fast daily keeps the doc
tor away.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of it's untiring re-
search is the recommendation that it
is as necessary to attend to internal
sanitation Of the drainage system of
the human body as it is to the drains
of the house.
Those of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, Stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath. acid stom-
ach. can, instead, feel as fresh as =
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing
out the whole of the internal poison
Gus stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well. should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspOonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous days indigcstible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins: thus
cleansing. sweetenirS and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigOratinS- 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast Whlle
you are enjoying your breakfast the
phosphated hot water is quietly ex-
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside or
gans
The millions of people who are
bothered with CONSTIPATION, bilious
spells stomach trouble. rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow
skins blood disorders and sickly COM
plexions are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store. This will cost very lit
tie. but is sufficient to make anyone
a pronounced crank on the subject of
Internal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

FUNSTON is RIGHT
He Has a Long. Hard Fight Ahead,
Declares AuguStin Alba.

That Funston will have as long a
fight as he predicts, is the belief of
Augustin Alba, Mexican born but now
an American citizen and a member of
the Topeka police force.
Mexican soldiers will desert Car
rama and rush to join the Villa forces
against the United States" declares
Alba IF Carranza's soldiers would
remain loyal and work with the Unit
ed States all would soon be we'll for
Villa would soon be captured, but l do
not believe that it will be so. They
will join to fight what they believe
to be a common enemy. United States
people would act the same way under
the circumstances.
Mexico is a natural fortress" says
Alba, ''and Mexico would be a hard
nation to defeat even with their infer
Tor numbers if they were not so Sc
verely handicapped by lack of NUM-
lions and food supplies. They are nat
urally fitted for a soldiers life"
Alba has just learned that conditions
for women and children are very bad
in Mexico. Last evening, he says,
q saw a Mexican sitting in that seat
crying because his family in Mexico
had had no food for nine days, and he
could not get a pass to reach them.
He had worked eight months at Strong
City and six months here. 1 went
with him and got him pass He left
at once to bring his family back with
him if there is a chance. There are
many others like him
They are paying over a dollar a
pound for lard in Mexico. 1t costs
$3.50 to buy a few pounds of sugar
and all the money that the Mexicans
are able to get is Carranza currency
or worse Villa money. Dozens of
Mexicans are leaving Topeka dEaily for
the south, he says. Dozens of passes
back to Mexico have been issued by
the railroad companies to the MeM-
cans doing work on the section or I'M
