Ballot Fraud Charges in
Orange Given Grand Jury
Cour! Orders Investigation of
Voting at Commission Gov
ernment Election

Charges of fraud, alleged to have
been committed in the commission gov
crnment election in Orange, N. j., last
week, were placed before the Essex
County grand jury in Newark yos.er-
day by Judge Fred Stickel.
The prosecutor has called to my
attention" the court said, that in the
recent election in the city of Orange
there was a registration of about $500
and challenge list of over 900; that
in ss2 cases no application was made
to vote; in S5 cases application was
made to vote, and upon the applicant
being challenged he chose not to vote {:
in 70 cases Of challenge the applicant
voted. giving an apparently good rea-
son for his name having been on the
challenge list In the remaining eighty
cases where the challenger voted, his
right to vote is under investigation by
the prosecutors office.
ut seems to the prosecutor and TO
the court that this situation is one
for the investigation of your body to
determine whether the election laws
of this county have been violated. to
ascertain whether men and women
registered who were not entitled to
do so. by reason of non-residcnce or
for some other reason; to determine
whether men and women voted who
we're not entitled so to do, and, if so,
why they registered and voted"

Legislation Against Peril

After a conference yesterday in the
Mayors Office between the New York
and New Jersey authorities to discuss
means to stop the indiscriminate sale
OF firearms, a drastic ordinance was
introduced by the Board Of Aldermen
here prohibiting pawnbrokers from
lending money or small arms that may
be concealed upon the person. Any
such arms that the pRwnbrokers now
have in stock may not be sold unless
the buyer has permit, and the pawn
broker must take the name and address
of the purchaser and send the record
to the Police Department..
The New Jersey authorities said
their situation was more difficult to
deal with, but they promised to work
for local ordinances and state laws
which would prevent the sale of fire.

there was not some way the Somerset

said Mayor Hague. 81 have told him

defeat of the bill told him of the

Mayor Hague said he would take it

BEGINNINGS IN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
By Martha GaIIaudet Warine

The three most wonderful things in
.oture have always been to me, the
nnfolding of a flower, the dawn of a
aow dav. and the way in which a child
ioorns the use of language. There
arc never two of these exactly alike;
thew are always happening and always
different.
I have watched three children close
,v and their way of learning to talk
has been absolutely as individual as
are the children themselves. The
Oldest began at nine months to say
Mama, Dada, man, boy, dog and so
forth. and after awhile, come, go, stay,
RIM. and all the necessary verbs, and
then the connecting words, in such
absolute agreement with the best au-
t~borities on learning to speak," that
7 began to plume myself upon it as
q personal matter. 1t is interesting to
note that this interest in language, in
words and their exact meaning and
accurate use, has always been a part
of this child's development.
Ny personal vanity as a good trainer
in language received a shock when the
second baby came to the speaking age.
Not a word would she say, "Uh-hum"
doing duty for everything; and so
clever was she and we'll developed
mentally that it was almost uncanny
to see how she conveyed her entire
meaning and got what she wanted
without words. We tried encourage
ment, discipline, and example Gas her
sister was then five) and when we had
begun to feel quite disconnected, she
suddenly at about eighteen months,
burst into whole sentences run to-
gether, such as Give it to me-" 81
don't want to do it" and others of
which not one single word was clearly
defined, but as a whole perfectly in
telligible. AS she grew older she
showed the same Impotence of Ian
guage as a means. of communication,
making a language of her wv to
which she chung until she was six,
which was ineligible only to her
family and playmates, as strangers
could make nothing of it, a fact which
rather pleased her than otherwise
me don't min if dey tant understan'
wat me say; me likes to talk ike dis"
was a frequent remark while we were
trying to train her out of it. We had
at six to have recourse to expert help
in proper articulation. There was no
defect, and now her enuncia-
lion is unusually clear and she reads
better than any child of ten I have
known.

CATSKILL WATER SUPPLY VS.
TIED BY n. j. OFFICIALS

Trenton, N. j., July 12th-As a fur
Their study of water supply conditions
made in connection with the North
Jersey situation, State Water Engi-
neers H. T. Critchlow and o. w. Hart
well recently inspected the Catskill
Water Supply for New York City. The
Catskill is the largest water supply
system in the world and is in some
respects comparable to the Long Hill
system proposed for the Metropolitan
District of New Jersey by Allen Hazen
in his survey of the states water re-
sources for the Department of Conser-
walton and Development.
Mr.. Critchlow discussed the two
systems in an interview today.
"The Catskill is being built in Sec
tons, as an increased supply of water
is needed" he said, much as the
Long Hill system could be built. With
the addition of the Schoharie reser-
voir, which is now nearing compile
ton, to the present Ashokan and Ken
sico reservoirs, the total yield will be
approximately the same as that of
Long Hill.
"The New York supply, however, is
much more costly than the New Jer-
sey one would be, since the distance
between the source of supply and the
city is much greater. Mr.. Hazen es-
Inmates that the cost of the Long Hill
system will be only So per cent of
that of the Catskill. The Catskill sup
ply cost $751; OO, 900 up to April 1,
1922, and there were still contracts
totalling $25, O0O, 900 to be completed.
The total cost, therefore, will be $177,-
600, 900 distributed over a period of
20 years.
"In connection with the discussion
of the length of time necessary to con-
struct an adequate system for North
Jersey cities, it is interesting to note
that the preliminary plans for obtain
ing water from the Catskills were pre-
pared in 1903. Water was first deliv-
cred to the Borough of the Bronx in
1915 and to the rest of the city in 1917.
The entire system will be completed,
it is expected, by 1926"

 The Swiss authorities have now decided that every person passing the frontier will be required to have every article of clothing, from boots to hat, stamped with the official seal. Even women's most intimate attire will be unable to escape reg istration.

NEW TAXES WILL PROVIDE FOR

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Secretary of the Treasury Mellon told the House ways and means committee that the soldier bonus funds could be provided by special taxes such as an increased rate on first and second class postage and levies on tobaccos.
 The secretary reiterated his belief that it would be impracticable to de- pend upon the foreign debt finances to meet the bonus He advocated one cent increase on first class postage, an increase in the cigarette tax of fifty cents a thousand, a two cent ad- ditional tax per pound to the tobacco tax, two cents on bank checks, and a license tax of fifty cents per horse power on automobiles.
 Mellon said with the present high tension over the prohibition issue, 1t would be impracticable to try and raise funds by tax on beer or light wines.

 Hilton's father is a wealthy farm- s- residing near here. Returning from Flint recently the boys par ents found him bound with ropes and tied to a post in the basement of his fathers barn A "big masked man" attacked him and bound him, he told his father.
 Several days later he rushed into the house from a barnyard, with a bullet hole through his cap. and in- formed his startled parents that the mystery man" had shot at him from behind cornstack in field near by.
 The story created a sensation in the countryside, and a posse of farmers secured the neighborhood looking for the "big masked man." When the search proved fruitless au- thorities questioned the boy at great length and finally he confessed that his story was a hoax and that the mystery man" was a character of his imagination, invented to livep up dull times around Flint.

New Device Rapidly Converts Snow
 to Water

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-The latest patented snow removal device will be given tryout here during the next heavy fall, and the demonstra- tion will be watched by city. off cials, according to William F. Guer- in, inventor, who has recently re- ceived letters patent from the gov ernment on his removal and heating device.
 The inventian consists of an in- verted trench constructed of brick work in egg shape placed in the gut ters of the street, which have a series of steam pipes supported on movable brackets connected by a two-inch steam pipe to supply steam from boiler at one end from re- turn steam trap. The condensation is discharged into the bottom of the invert and finally into the sewer.
 The trench is covered with heavy iron frames and covers to permit with safety the movement of traffic. All of the, snow can be shoveled or plowed into this trench on top of steam pipes under high or low steam pressure and the snow water falls to the bottom of the trench and dis charges into the sewer.
 The maximum length of the trench is.s thirteen feet. and it Is two feet wide The uncondensed steam can be returned to heat the building, and there is steam nozzle in the trench to connect hose for thawing frozen hydrants
