OIL POLLUTION Big
HARBOR PROBLEM
Shipping Interests at Last Heed
Danger Warning

New York, Sept. 13.-Shipping in
terests have needed persistent warn
ings that unless something is done to
stop the pollution OF New York har-
Dor by oil waste from steamers the
greatest port in the world will be men
aced by danger OF n great confiagra-
ton. They have formed a committee
to see that the harbor is cleansed of
this peril.
Great pools have collected in many
of the harbor basins. and wooden
piers have become soaked with the oil.
Underwriters and firemen here remark
that water would be of little good in
fighting such fire, as 1t would make
the burning oil spread farther.
Many plans for disposal have been
offered. One would ask Congress to
make appropriations for enforcement
OF the statute. prohibiting the casting
OF troublesome oil upon the waters.
Another would request the city to en-
force the ordinance providing barges
to carry off the oil.
How to dispose OF the waste even
should IL all be poured into barges
Is another problem. Commercially 1t
has little value. IL is said, and II would
be useless to dump ii at sea, even so
far out as fifty miles. For the oil
would como back, just like tho catI
people try to get rid OF by taking to
the country. Shipping men. however.
express the belief that n profitable
means of utilizing the waste will be
found.
Representatives OF the national
board OF fire unde,>yriters have in
formed the committee that the prob
lem of eliminating similar danger in
European harbors had interested the
governments OF Great Britain. France
and Italy. and that they were work
ing on possible solutions.
The washed democracy OF New York
also has sent up a wall of protest
against dirty habits the steamships
have gotten into since oil largely sup
planted coal as fuel. At some OF the
bathing beaches the sticky waste has
become so thick that bath houses fur
nish bathers with Kerosene to wipe 1t
off their bodies after a session in the
surf. Bathers at these points complain
that they leave the water much dirtier
than when they entered.

In her complaint, she SAYS that her
76-ycar-old husband, Edward III.
Clark, denied her the life of luxury
and love that she expected, and from
the first days of their marriage had
been penurious and cruel. She was
compelled to look after Clarks' big
house in Metchuen n. J., and was not
permitted to receive any friends or go
anywhere, she asserts. Thirty dollars
a month was all Mr.. Clark allowed her
to run the big house.
Edward II. Clark inserted the ad-
vertisement for a housekeeper in a
New York paper in March, 1916,
which she answered. He was then
more than 20 and she was II. She

She now alleges that from the time
Of her marriage, her husband was
jealous of her, and locked her in her
room the greater part of the time.

Mr.. Clark had done this, it was neces-
sary in order to keep track of her.
