JUDGE SIIzER CARRIES
CAMPAIGN into SUSSEX

George s. Silver, candidate for h
Democratic nomination for governor
OF New Jersey, was apparently quite
at home with the Sussex county
farmers at a big picnic held at Lake
Grinnell, near Newton, yesterday
He talked easily about tuberculosis
in cattle, it's effects in developing tu-
berculosis in humans. n particu-
larry on the fact that the poorer
class of farmers are prevented by n
cost from stamping out the disease
in their herds and so having them
accredited.
Judge SLICK also continued his
| discussion of the question OF taxes.
| He showed that the highest tax rate
| paid in Sussex county in 1914 was
3.1s, whereas in 1922 tho highest tax
rate paid was 9.37 or nearly three
tim es as much. The average TAX
ratio in Sussex county in 1914 was
zoe and in 1921, 3.56. The lowest
tax paid in 1921 was 2.31 or almost
as high as the highest in 1914. In
addition to this, Silzer pointed out
that the bonded debt had increased
from $179,5GO in 1914 to $309.564 in
1921, an increase in seven years OF
nearly 80 per cent.
In the matter of tuberculosis in
cattle the judge pointed out that
farmers who have not had tl:eir
herds accredited by the Bureau OF
| Animal Industry receive no compen-
sation for animals destroyed. n
are therefore under a strong tempta-
ton not to report suspicious cases.
In this way the disease spreads not
only, through the herd, but Is COM
municated from one herd to an
other.
On this question SilAer's speech
was in part as follows:
"Since it is generally conceded
that tuberculosis may be communl-
Gated from cattle to human beings,
and especially to children, 1t Is OF
first importance to take every step
possible to prevent tuberculosis In
cattle. For this reason the national
and state governments are cooperat-
ing to check this disease. The pol
lev is to encourage the establish
ment of accredited herds, In which
no animal affected with tuberculosis
has been found in two annual OF
three semi-annual tests.
After the herd becomes accredit.
ed IL an animal becomes affected
our Bureau Of Animal Industry will
compensate the owner o its de-
struction. Only a limited number
can become accredited and there
Is a waiting list of those who can
not be put upon h list.
1.-The practice seems to be not tt
pay for an animal which has beer
destroyed, unless it is in an accred'
tied herd. The natural result Is tina
the farmer who may nave little else
but a herd of cattle and a small
farm cannot afford to risk having
his entire herd destroyed and re
ceiving nothing for it. The conse'

Whalen has notified the private tax
icab owner of Staten Island who
have been doing a hacking business
outside the municipal ferryhouse at
st. George that the hacking privi-
lege at the landing will be awarded
to the highest bidder on August 10.
This means. according to the tax
icab owners, that they will be driven
rOut of business as they have not
enough capital to bid for the privi-
lsge and. even if they did, they say.
some big concern would outbid
them.
In order to combat this order,
however, an organization has been
formed by the st. George taxi driv-

ing a control over its membership
which will insure satisfaction. The
ofhcers are Charles Sachs, presi-

STEAM PIPE
BURSTS HURT
Engineer William White Bad
Iy Burned on Way to Tot
tenviIIe Station.

TOTTENVILLE. Aug. 1t:-Engi-
neer William White. of this place,
was badly scalded by steam from r
bursting steam pipe on his engine
yesterday morning shortly after $3.50
o'clock when the train was pulling
out of the Great Kills station on its
way to Tottenville. Women ami
children passengers on the train
were thrown into a panic from the
noise of the exploding pipe and the
Kissing steam.
The engine of which Mr.. White
was in charge was No. "a. Although
the train was moving rapidly at the
time the accident took place Mr..
White, enveloped in a cloud of
steam which scalded the skin from
his arms. hands and face, continued
at the throttle of the engine until
the train reached Bay Terrace,
where he brought the engine to n
stop and was given first aid treat
ment before going to his home.
As a result of the accident trains
No. 20 and rs were annulled. While
the broken down engine was held at
Bay Terrace trains from st. George
were switched about the stalled train
and then switched on the proper
track after it had been passed.
lld1hC On the rOhu was blorhtu LOT
q considerable length of time.
Mr.. White stayed on his engine,
even though painfully burned, and
was on 1t when IT was run back to
the shops by another engine which
had been sent out from st. George.
According to railroad authorities it
Is believed that the accident was
caused by the fact that the packing
around the throttle had blown out.
Striking shop employees of the
company have for several days been
making charges that careless inspec-
ton OF locomotives used by the
company made the danger of acct
dents or explosions very imminent.
However, railroad officials deny !
these statements and declare that
the information given out b. the
strikers Is not true.
