[By The Associated Press. ]

LONDON, June 9.-Rear Admiral
William F. Sims, u. S. N, is quoted

with regard to the speech he deliv-
cred here Tuesday:
II stand by all l said. every word

white horses with black stripes, but
we know they are not horses. They
are asses. Each of these asses has

They are Americans when they want
money, but Sim Feiners when on the
platform. They are making war on
America today" according to cabled

it is Said, Given as
Cause for Act

FATHER DEMANDED HER

SOUTH AMBOY, June County
Detective Ferd A. David Is this af-
ternoon investigating the supposed
suicide of fourteen-year-ol Clara
Mundy who died early this morning
at the home of her father, Charles,
at 215 Catherine street. Death is
thought to have been caused by the
girl taking cyanide tablet, accord
ing to Coroner Arthur X. Hillpot, of
Metuchen, who was called to inves-
tigate.
According to information given
the county detectives the girl had
been worrying over the differences
between her father and mother, as
the two are separated The girl has
been living with her father and
been in a respondent mood lately, it
is said. A letter written by the girl
was discovered and the wording was
of such a nature as to indicate that
she intended killing herself If the
domestic troubles were not settled.
The girl threatened In the letter to-
commit suicide by drinking carbolic
acid, it was reported to the prose-
cutor's Office.
The girl was sick Monday and DR..
Hunt, of South River, was called.
This morning she was found dead
anu d Cy dllluc was oNSi ~
near her body. Funeral arrange
ments are being made.
According to the South Amboy
police the Mundy family had only
lived here about six weeks and little
is known about them or the family
troubles. The girl had been living
with her mother until short time
ago and then went with her father
at his request, it is reported. The
girl is said to have longed to go back
with her mother and wrote the let
ter (Which was turned over to the
authorities) saying that If her
mother would not take her back az
ter a certain date she would kill
herself by taking carbolic acid
a-his letter was never mailed and it
was the discovery OF this which
caused the coroner and authorities
tional.
According to the father he had
asked the girl to live with him in
order that she might attend school
and receive a better education. She
arose as usual this morning and
talked with her father before he left
the house the reports say. For some
reason her father eother did not go
to work or came home early, as he
discovered he'd dead body in her bed
room shortly after 10 o'clock.
Coroner Arthur X. Hillpot, of
Metuchen, was notified as was the
prosecutors Office. The coroner
found a small piece of cyanide about
one-half an inch long near her bed
and it is his belief that she swal-
lowed a piece of this poison to kin
herself.
County Physician John L. Suy-
dam was not called as the letter
would indicate that the death was
intentional. 1t is not expected that
an autopsy will be made Dr. Hunt
of South River, when questioned as
to what the girls illness on Monday
of this week consisted of, refused
to say anything, referring the in
quirer to the coroner for all infor-
nation.

START MOVING
TRACK At FORDS
Outlook for End of DeplorabIe
Detour There is in Sight
at Last

After having had to use detour
which in spots was almost impass-
able for the past three or more
months is going by automobile from
Rogan's to Fords. the outlook SEEM
ed brighter today when Freeholder
Walter Quackenbush. of this city, an
nounced that the Public Service had
started to move its trolley tracks to
the middle of New Brunswick ave-
nue. and that this work should be
completed next week.
1t has been the removal of these
tracks from the side of the road to
the center which has made compile
ton of the new road between Ro-
gan's and Fords impossible.
One half of the road has been
paved with concrete. this work hav-
ing been finished about one month
ago. No further paving could be
done. however. until the trolley COM
pany moved its tracks. The Public
Service Company explained its fail
ure to go ahead with its work by
making a plea of poverty and claim
ing no funds were available for the
work. AS a result all traffic with
the exception of trolley cars was
practically tied up and forced to use
a detour which was soon in such
condition as to make travel over 1t
dangerous for the occupants and
harmful for the cars.
When the detour from Rogan's to
Fords was originally opened the
road had been so treated with
crushed stone and a top surfacing
of dirt that it was not bad. After
the first rain, however, this dirt
was washed away and the founda- :
Of h n
the weight of the heavy machines
soon caused deep hollows to appear.
To make matters worse the road
soon took on a "hog-back" appear
ance, being high in the middle with
a deep drop on either side into
ground that was soft and in which
a wheel might easily be imbedded
and stuck.
In an effort to get off this detour
road as soon as possible the cars
started to turn towards Fords at the
first road to the left. This resulted
in that road being made mass or
holes and hills. When this became
practically impossible the cars go
ing from Perth Amboy to Fords
would continue one block further on
the Rogan's detour and then swing
to the left across the fields. These
new detours were continued until
now all of the roads are in de-
plorable condition and many cars in
stead of making the detour go all
tho way to Woodbridge in order to
go from Fords to Perth Amboy or
vice versa.
When questioned as to who was
responsible for the upkeep of the
detour in a condition which would
permit of cars using it without en-
dangering life and property, Free
holder Quackenbush today said that
il was the duty of the Woodbridge
township committee to look after
this stretch of road. The local free
holder said he had the road scarified
yesterday in order to improve it
somewhat and then rolled down,
but it failed to make much improve
ment.
The Public Service is starting at
Rogans to move it's tracks and thus
far has gotten as far as the switch
IN laying the tracks in the middle
of the road.

MANY INSPECT
BIC RESERVOIR
Search|ights in Basin Show
Up Forest of Pillars Sup
porting Huge Structure

That the residents of this city
are interested in municipal ad-
vancement was proven yesterday af-
ternoon when the new water reser-
voir was visited by between 1900
and $4,000 people, including men.
women and children anxious to
avail themselves of the only oppor-
tunity offered them to inspect the
interior of the huge structure. The
inspection hours were from until
S o'clock and during that time
there was a steady stream of inter-
ested persons looking through the
interior, which looked like forest
of huge tree trunks.
Praise was heard on all sides for
the work, it being of such magni-
tude as to cause favorable comment
from the thousands who flocked to
the huge covered basin on the
northwestern outskirts of the city.
A temporary wooden stairway had
been built from the floor of the re.
servoir up through the boat-hole IN
order to make it easy for those in
specting the structure to descend
and ascend. Although the pumps
had ueen working all day draining
the water from the floor there were
several inches on the floor. making
it impossible to walk among the
large columns except on planks. The
concrete floor sloped upwards to-
ward the side retaining walls. how
ever, and by walking along the
slopes visitors could go the entire
distance of the reservoir.
Light was furnished by eight OIL
ten searchlights and practically all
walked the full length. about 900
feet, before they were satisfied that
they had seen everything. The av-
erage width of the reservoir is 300
feet. The structure covers eight
acres and the distance between the
bottom and the top is twenty-fiv
feet. The columns which support
the top number in the neighborhood
of $50.
Morgan F. Larson, the resident
engineer, was at the reservoir dur
Ing practically the entire time the
inspection was being conducted, ex-
planning the various details and Civ
ing out any information desired by
those interested. Many of the
school pupils went to the reservoir
and the number of women showing
an interest in the work was a sur
prise.
Mayor William c. Wilson, mem
bers of the Board of Aldermen and
water board, together with Superin-
tendent of the Water Department
Samuel j. Mason, were on hand at
various times during the inspection.
