BILL DEFEATED
Urges Congressman Bacha-
rach to Offer His Bill as Sub
Stitute to Committee

In a letter written yesterday in
answer to one received on the 22nd
from Congressman Isaac Bacharach,
in which he expresses confidence in
the passage of his bill through both
branches of congress :. the near flu
ture, Judge George 5. Silzer says
hat a perusal of the hearing before
the House committee IN March 2Sth
leads him to believe that the Con-
gresham will not meet with Gee
and urges his bill as a substitute on
which action can be had. The
judges letter follows:
August "a, 1922.
Hon. Isaac Bacharach,
Member of Congress,
Washington, ID. G..
My Dear Congressman:
| have your letter of the 22nd inst.
and am glad to know that you still
have hope of accomplishing some
thing in relief of our people.
| have just read an account of the
hearing on March 2Sth and am in
clined to believe that you will not
meet with scccess.
If you find that your bill is to be
defeated, would it not he advisable
to have the committee offer mine as
a substitute and thus accomplish the
same result. A con m!ttee ST. bstitute
of course, is not new legislation.
Wishing you success IN your I'M
dertaking, and assuring you of my
cordial support, l am,
Yours very sincerely,

F|REMEN BUSY
ION TWO ALARMS
Blaze at Copper Works Last
Night and One in Old
Boat Hull

TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 25.-Two
alarms of fire within an hour oil
each other kept the ffCmen of Isl
engine and 7G hook dnd ladder busy
for a time last night. The first alarm
was at 1850 o'clock and was for a
blaze at the Tottenv:lle Copper
Company's plant in Bethel avenue
which started in a Pile of waste ana
rubbish within about fifty feet oil
the new zinc plant of the works. AL
though there was no material dam
age done to the plant outside OF
part of the fence surrounding the
north side of the plant being burned
the two companies were Kept at the
Mace until nearly 10 o'clock before
they were sent back to their quar-
ters. Deputy Chief Begin came
down on the first alarm ana loon
charge. The iremen had to stretch
ebout 1.5OO feet of hose to reach the
blaze from the nearest hydrant.
while the two companies were at
the Copper Works an alarm was re-
ceived at fire headquarters by tele-
phone from George reWster' d
sculptor of Satterlee avenu that an
old hull of a boat on the shore near
his place was on fire ard
ed to do damage to his place wnere
he has a studio. Lieutenant Grlf-
fin with some fremen of Isl engine
were sent from the Copper Works
to the scene of the blaze: They Sc
cured a row boat and with buckets
of water dipped from the staten
Island sound put out the blaze, but
the old hull vas still smoking this
morning. 1t is believed that some
boys bathing at that place started
the blaze and went away and left IL
burning. 1t was impossible to get
a line of hose to the boat. Inc
damage to the fence at the copper
Works was slight.

accomplish two desirable results by
blowing up the barn lots at least
once a year, says the United States

is possible, and in the second place
they need protection against inter-

Turning over the soil in the lot
helps to get rid of the pests and the

Rest robes, bathrobes. bed jack
