SHRINKAGE IN RAINFALL

Local Weather Bureau records show
that from January until yesterday the
temperature in New York city has been
s2S degrees in excess of normal. In the
same period rainfall has been 4.29 inches
less than normal. With all respect for
the heat waves Of the past, the present
summer seems well on it's way to the
3topmost rung of the ladder. Here are
some figures CLEANED from statistics in
the office Of James III. Scarr, meteorol-
ogist of the local Weather Bureau:
Since June 81 there has been an ex-
cess temperature amounting to 129 de-
grees This represents the difference
between the total daily temperature and
the normal seasonal figures which are
based upon observations since the incep-
tion of the Weather Bureau. For ex-
ample. the normal temperature July 4,
according to the Weather Bureau, is ~
degrees AS recorded this year the tenn
perature ranged from SO to II. with
mean or average OF So degrees, 13 more
than normal
The average temperature during July
has been 76.1 degrees. The normal.
estimated by the local observers, would
be 1876 With an average of 1853 for the
last ten days of June, summer this year
seems we'll on the way to exceed the rec
ord OF 1901, when the mean is said to
have been rs.
Although the high mark of 102 de-
erees of August Z. 1918. has not yet been
equalled, nearly everything else appears
TO have been outdone. Unofficial news
paper records show at least 80 prostrs-
tions during July and more than half as
many deaths from drowning or heat ex-
haustion. There have been three days
with maximum temperature OF ~ de-
grees or more. On two OF these days,
June 22 and July 4, the official ther-
smometer recorded 90. The single 80
duplicated on July 27 the record Tor tnat
day in 1917, which went down as tne
hottest July 27 in twenty-five years.
Last year there had been at this time
twenty DAYS when the temperature was
90 degrees or more. This year there
have been thirty-four such days ana

The heat wave which has held the
United States continuously in discom-
fort since June i also has overspread
practically all countries in the north

been probably the most intense in twenty

Alaska as far north as the Arctic Circle
the mercury through the last sixty days

as high as so. He said the cause Is
beyond known scientific reasons.
Prof. Mitchell commented upon the
unbroken heat period In the Eastern

lation of 92S degrees excess tempera-

NEW HOPE: FOR

Believe North is Waiting for
the Sim Fein Govern
ment Action

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Sir James
Craig. premier of Ulster, has re-
turned here for a conference with
Lloyd George, and rumors are cur
rent that a new proposal Will be
made for a settlement of the Irish
troubles.
The feeling is growing that there
is a possibility of a compromise
sooner or later. but that the main de-
sire of the Ulsterites is first to watch
the workings of any government the
Sim Fein may set up before con-
senting to take any part in it. That
CO. o-ordinates with the belief that
while the Sim Feiners are still eager
for republic they are loath to ac-
cept any arrangement that will de-
stroy the unity of Ireland as a whole
Hence their delay in replying to thu
peace proposals.
In view of the summontng of tn

CONFER WITH GERAN
[By Evening News Correspondent


TRENTON, Aug. 6.-oBth Sena-
tor William B. Mackay, chairman of
the State Coal Investigation Com
mission. and former Senator Wood
Mckee, counsel for the commission
are looking into the possibility of
seeking aid from the Federal govern
ment in the coal probe, it was learn
ed TODAY. Counsel Mckee will con-
fer with United States District At
torney Elmer II. Geran on the ques-
ton of securing government assist
ance. The federal authorities VIII be
asked, through District Attorney Ge-
ran, to proceed against the coal COM
bine under the Sherman antitrust
law and the Clayton act.
But first of course, the coal prob
ers must present evidence that such
a combine exists. Further evidence
along this line will be sought next
Tuesday when the commission VIII
continue its hearing in Jersey CITY
and will probe the X. H. Perry Com
pany, alleged to control most of the
retail coal business in Hudson coun-
ty. On Tuesday, August 10. the
commission will sit in Newark and
will begin an investigation of the
New Jersey Coal Dealers Associa-
ton, 1t is understood that the COM
mission has obtained a list of the
memb bers of this organizations show
ing that more than 80 per cent of the
retailers are members.
Senator Mackay. chairman of the
probers, today denounced the ter
cent increase which was put into eli
feet on August 1. He also declared
there is positive evidence of profl'
teering.
The jump in price. August 1, was
a raw deal and will only serve to
rouse the public against pro1teer-
ing" said Senator Mackay. There
is no good reason why coal should
now cost the consumer $l3 or more
per ton"
Special Investigator William IL.
Truby has obtained for the Commls-
sion several copies of the Egan Coal
Probe Commission of 1913, referred
to in these dispatches a few days
ago. This report declares that al
that time there unquestionably was

cent.
Investigator TRULY said today that
lis trip 20 Baltimore next week will
be for the purpose of ascertalning
all the facts leading up to the IN
dictment of the coal men there. He
declared;
II am going to get whatever evi-
dence the states attorney has in the
case, copies of their law OF con-
spiracy and whatever other statutes
the grand jury used as the authority
in finding it's indictments. l VIII
also secure copies of the sherman

WOULD REMOVE

Report is That Politicians on
!. Both Sides Would WeI-

COUNTY BOARD TO MEET

No Objection Would be Made
e. if School Authorities
Made Application
COUNTY BOARD TO MEET

Rumor about the county has it
that the politicians are endeavoring
TO do away with the practice of US
ing the public schools as polling
Places. When this practice was
started, it was said politics would
be made cleaner by having the vot-
ing places in the different schools.
Patronage and the return of side
door tactics are said to be the rea-
sons why the politicians want the
return of the old system.
The county board of elections
will meet on August 20 for the pur-
pose of approving the polls and poll
ing places of the county, and at this
time it will be decided whether the
schools will or will not continue to
be the election polling places. 1t
is understood that politicians of
both parties are in favor of taking
the polling places away from the
schools.
1t is said that politicians have re-
marked that if the school authori-
ties entered any objection to hav-
ing the schools used for voting
places, that if they would put their
objections in writing. the politicians
Would see to it that the system is
done away with.
Using the schools for polling
places has done away with the rent
ing of various buildings for this pur-
pose, and saved the county in the
neighborhood of SIS a poll. The
fact that the politicians would gain
followers for their respective party,
fenting buildings to be used as poll
Ing places. is given as one of the
by renting buildings to be used as
polling places, is given as one of the
reasons for the return of the old
system.
ii In most cases. only one entrance
to the different schools is used, and
Only the rooms where the voting is
being done, are at the disposal
of the voters and the party workers.
On the other hand, different en-
frances and practically the entire
building is at the disposal of the
party workers, in cases where the
polling places are rented. 1t is be-
lieved the political game will be kept
cleaner with the continuing of the
polling places in the public schools.
The women are voting today, and a
publicc school building is a better
place for the new voters to cast their
ballot, than in barger shop or any
other place.

pert on the subject. who will dur
ing the course of the evening, tell
about the vast project in talk IL

as this city and section is concerned
In this way the Representatives OF
the Raritan Terminal and Water
way Association and Chamber o.

The Chamber of Commerce and 9th
er organizations interested in the i'm
provements to the port, realize tha
whatever benefits this city is to re
ceive it must fight for, and in ordel
to carry on this fight, some definite

civic organizations from the coun
ties of Monmouth and MiddleseX viii
be present at the meeting and join il
the discussion.
Although the speaker of the meet

CIVIC. ACTION
FOR METUCHEN
Chamber of Commerce Fails
to Elect President Have
Long Discussion
tBy Evening News Correspondent

METUCHEN, Aug. 6.-Many mat
ters of importance were discussed at
the meeting CT the Metuchen Cham
Der of Commerce held here last
night, but a successor to A. X. Hill
pot, to serve in the capacity of pres
ident of the organization, was not
elected as it was felt the attendance
was not large enough to be consider
ed representative of the chamber.
A report of the committee ap-
pointed to go. before the borough
council in reference to rerouting
the buses, made a favorable report
last night. The council readily az
cepted and approved the suggestion
of the chamber committee, and as
a result number of roundabout
turns made by buses going from
Perth Amboy to New Brunswick and
vice versa, have been eliminated. The
buses will now go out Amboy ave-
nue. to Main street, and then out
Main street to the Lincoln High
way.
The committee appointed by the
chamber to investigate the borough
councils progress in regard to
sewerage system in Metuchen was
unable to secure anything definite i'll
regard to the matter.
Another committee was appointed
at last nights meeting to appear
before the borough council at their
next meeting in reference to the ap-
parent refusal of the Public Service
Railway Company to live up to their
franchise with the borough. The
railway company has two franchises
with the borough, one from the
route from Highland Park to Plain
field road, on which the famed
bonneville trolley runs, and the
other from Perth Amboy to Main
street. Complaints have been re-
ceived that there is no connection
between the main line and the short
line. 1t is believed that the trolley
company could be made to grant
transfer from the main line trolley
to the short line trolley without
charge.
Members of the borough council.
board of education, board of heatn,
together with the ministers of Metu-
chen, have been elected honorary
members of the chamber. This ac-
ton was taken at last nights meet
ing and it is hoped that the author
tiles will attend meetings of the
organization and work for the good
of Metuchen.
Notices have been received by the
chamber from the U. S. Civil Service
Commission announcing that an ex-
animation for the position of post
master of the Metuchen postoffice
will be made, in accordance with
the executive order of May 10, re-
quiring postmasters in second class
postoffices to take examination. The
present incumbent who is being paid
$4,000, has held the Office since Feb.
4, 1919. Applicants must have their
papers in by August ~.
