ing stoler goods amounting to $1,7OO

one other defendant in the case hav-
ing been found guilty by trial yes
terday, while the fourth admitted
his guilt without trial.
The trial OF these two men COM
menced Tuesday afternoon and was
continued this morning. The rob-
berry in which Morrison and Protz
are alleged to be implicated has
been admitted by Frank Flowers
and John Shanko was found guilty
by a jury in twelve minutes of his
part in it. The defendants today
were the last two to come up for
trial.
Most of the witnesses in the case
were called Tuesday afternoon.
Protz himself being the only wit
cross examination by Assistant
Prosecutor John e. Toolan. Protz
denied that he had made certain
statements to Detective Burns Of the
New York police force to the effect
that he had come to New York from
Perth Amboy on the Thursday fol-
lowing the robbery with friend by
way of the tubes from Newark.
Protz's memory seemed to be bad
on the stand as he could not remem-
ber just what he told the police In
New York when arrested and could
not say whether his statements to
them were the truth or not. He did
remember, however, that he had
been "beaten up" by the New York
police during their investigation in
etorts to make him tell his story. he
said.
Judge DAILY told the jury that the
main point to consider was
whether the goods were received in

provisions of his hike was that he
should not shave or have his hair
cut during the entire trip.
Another provision was that he
sleep in the open except during
heavy snow storms. These he en-
countered when he left California,

He learned the knack of hiking
while living in New York. he said,
this always being his favorite pas

trained to such a degree that he
could practically walk in his sleep,
the part of his body above his hips
being in a restful state while he con-
tinued to walk.
In speaking of his diet he said
that no cooked food whatsoever was
taken by him during his trip. he
touched no meats. spices or sugar
Lush said he felt in the pink of con-
dition and his appearance would in
dicate that. He anticipates taking
another hike in the near future.

HERE; POLICE INVESTIGATE

A bill said to be the cleverest
counterfeit ever Jeen by
Lieutenant Lawrence A. Long, was
presented at the police station this
afternoon by man upon whom it
had been passed The bill had been
a one dollar bill originally, but the
corners had been raised from 81 to
$40 and the word "ONE DOLLAR r"
printed in the middle of the bill had
had a "T'' inserted instead of the
80" in the word "ONE." There
was no "S' however, added to the
word "DOLLAR."
The man who held the bill said he
went to local bank this morning,
showed the counterfeit to the cash
Ter and told him he was going to try
and pass it at one of the windows.

Bic RESERVOIR
NOW IN USE
City Being Supplied From
That Source Pumping Sta
ton Idle at Present

The Board of Water Commits
sioners last night received their first
report from Superintendent Samuel
J. Mason since the water from the
new 10000, ,000-gallon reservoir was
turned loose into the city's mains
Mr.. Mason told the commissioners
that the valve controlling the outlet
main haG been opened at 7 o'clock
Tuesday morning of this week and
since then the reservoir had been
supplying all of the city's water.
The Runyon pumping station has
been shut down, owing to the supply
on hand in the reservoir being suf-
ficient to keep the city in water for
the entire week. The present plan
is 20 only use the Runyon pumping
station while filling the reservoir
and then let it remain idle until the
water level drops considerably.
The use of the reservoir will de-
crease water waste at least twenty
per cent. superintendent Mason in
formd the commissioners, pointing
out that this saving would be effect
ed by having a steady pressure on
the pipes whereas formerly the va
ried pressure resulted in many leaks
and cracks in the mains. An addi-
tional saving of ten per cent. in OPP
Grating expenses will be Forthcoming
as result OF the reservoir, MI.
Mason said.
The reservoir is reducing the cor
rosiveness of the water supplied in
this city also, the superintendent
continued, recent tests since the wa
ter was coming from the reservoir
showing less proportions of carbon
dioxide. In order to maintain pres
sure in the high part of the city
while waiting for the electric motor
pump to arrive, Mr.. Mason said, a
fire engine is being used at New
Brunswick avenue and Washington
street to maintain pressure and act
as booster for water into the stand
pipe.
Another benefit which will be de-
rived from the reservoir will be re-
duction throughout the city of fire in
surance rates. Owing to the large
supply of water on hand with better
pressure and more adequate means of
getting large supply at all times.
During the first twenty-four hours
the water was being taken from the
reservoir, Mr.. Mason said, there was
drop of thirty-one inches in the
water level. The water is twenty
four feet deep when filled, giving at
least a six or seven days supply.
About one sixteenth of an inch is
lost daily by evaporation, the super
intendent stated.
The water plant is now equipped
to pump thirty million gallons of
water a day, Mr.. Mason asserted, the
situation being better now than it
has ever been. AS a result of the
heavy showers of Tuesday night, he

WASHINGTON, July 21-After
the preliminaries are out of the way
Japan will accept without reserva-
ton the invitation of the Harding
Administration to attend a confer
ence in Washington to discuss limi-
tation of armamen ntS and Far East
ern questions. This is the judgment
of men in close touch with Japanese
affairs outside of Government cir
cles here.
While no confirmation has been
received of the published report
from Toxic that the japanese Gov
ernment has determined to accept
unconditionally, no surprise will be
occasioned here if this is found to
be correct.
High officials are still quite hope
ful that Japan will come forward
with full acceptance: no reason is
known here why Toxic should not
do so. 1t is recognized in Admin
istration quarters that the japanese
request for additional information
concerning matters to be taken up
in the discussion of Far Eastern
questions was in every sense proper
and appropriate
Men in close touch with japanese
affairs base their convictions that
Japan will accept without reserva-
tions on the general ground that
such a course would go far toward
eliminating possible ground for sus-
picion and would be the best possi-
/ lie politics for the japanese to play.

SHOCKSFRANCE
In Some Quarters Anglo
French Relations Are De-
Scribed as Critical

PARIS, July 21:-France will
send reinforcements to Upper Silesia
whether Great Britain joins or not
in the movement suggested by
France. The move will be made to
insure the safety of 10000 French
soldiers there. Premier BRAND sent
a note yesterday replying to the Bril-

of confidence that the supreme coun-
Gil could serve any useful purpose
before measures are taken to insure
order and provide safety for the
troops now in Upper Silesia.
News received here today from
Oppeln was far from reassuring. The
attitude of the Geramn press was in
terpreted as provocative.

cation. Editorial comment sug-
gests the British prime minister,

hastily in refusing to agree with
