Action Taken at Meeting of
Board of FreehoIders Yes
terday Fear New Danger
WHO SHALL DO WORK?
FreehoIders Will Confer With
New Brunswick City CON-
mission as to Future Action
By STAR Correspondeut.

~ stan Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, March 12:-
river below New Brunswick since the
heavy freshet of last week are to be
broken up Immediately, either under
the direction of the city commission
ers or the Board of Freeholders
This matter was laid before the
freeholders yesterday by Director
William s. Dey, he pointing out the
damage that might be done should
another freshet occur before the
breaking of the jam.
The question has been raised as to
whether the county or city govern
ment should cause the removal of the
ice, and to the end that all danger
from the menace be removed, Direc-
tor Dey, Freebooter Louis ]. Belloff
and County Solicitor Frederick F.
Richardson will confer with the city
commissioners tomorrow and take
Immediate steps to dynamite the
river.
1t was Director Dey who during
the spring OF 1913 caused the river
above the Amboys bridge to be dyna-
mited In order that the danger to
that structure would be lessened
when the spring freshets came.
With realization of the damage
prevented by those measures two
years ago Mr.. Dey virtually took the
local situation in his own hands In
order that this section will not be en-
dangered with another flood.
Had the Amboy bridge been under
the control of the county last week
1t probably would not have suffered
the severe damage it sustained, as
blasting would have been resorted to-
as was done In previous years.
Should the water level of the river
be raised over its banks by another
freshet while the ice is piled so high
Just below this city, the water would
back up in the sewers and would
probably damage sections of the city
which were not badly affected last
week.

Wilson'S charge of "imperialism"

WASHINGTON Ma

WASHINGTON, March 12:--No
one could tell what is likely to hap
pen in the treaty fght.
So many cross currents have APP
peared in the negotiations for an ac-
ceptable compromise on Article 10
that even senators are at a loss to
understand where the pact is drift
ing. Republican leaders consented
yesterday to changes IN the wording
of the disputed reservation, hoping
to unite scattered forces but were
not entirely successful.
Meanwhile Democratic advocates
of an agreement undertook to work
for the substitute, claiming thirty
votes for it, but Senator Hitchcock
neutralized their efforts to some ex-
tent by rallying his followers to sup
port President Wilson's stand against
qualifying the clause.
With the uncertainty existing on
both sides 1t remained to be seen
whether the Republican or Democra-
tic mild reservationists would intro
duce the substitute or IL 1t would be
submitted to the senate at all.
A vote on Article 10 is not expect-
ed before Saturday.
