STOP POURING OIL ON
WATERS, APPLEBY SAYS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE
dictionary defines oil to be a greasy
or unctuous liquid of vegetable, min
eral or animal origin, insoluable in
water; but the good people along
the Jersey coast do not have to go
to the dictionary to be told anything
of this smeary enemy. They find 1t
on their bathing suits and in their
hair. sticking in greasy masses to
their launches and sailing craft, and
covering the surface of their inletS
and harbors; and, behold, it sticketh
closer than a brother! How reckless
ly they once used these phrases:
Use oil freely in the journey of life.
as it eliminates friction and Pour
oil upon the troubled waters"
Congressman T, Frank Appleby of
the third New Jersey district says:
mo, stop pouring oil, for it makes
no end of trouble upon the wat
ers, and threatens to destroy \ our
fisheries and bathing resorts, for New
Jersey is the bath tub of the nation,
and people will cease patroniZing our
coast resorts if this evil is not avert
ed" So the good congressman's
anti-oil pollution bill is being closely
watched by the whole United States
and its success will be applauded by
millions of people. Even the AMI
mails are keen for its success. This
fish say: This smeary tar and oil
will soon exterminate all my finny
relatives" The ducks are even more
sagacious. Recently two Canadian
web-footed water fowl were speeding
TO Florida for the winter. Suddenly
they did a nos dive and volplaned
into the yard of the congRessman's
home at Asbury Park. Investigation
proved their wings were so encrusted
with oil-from the smeary coast
waters-that their flight was imped
ed. The kind-hearted youngest son
of the congressman washed their
wings and they went. on their way
rejoicing. These ducks knew the
Applebys were foes of oil, and they
had the God-given instinct to fly
directly to the home of the anti-oil
congressman for relief from their
distress. Talk about a wise old owl,
he isn't in it compared with ducks,
is he?

BIC SURPRISE
IN PLOT CASE
County Defers Trial in Effort
to Get New Evidence in =
Action

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. H.
The trial of the three defendants IN
the blackhand case was adjourned
Yesterday on Assistant Prosecutor
John E. Toolan's motion to ijouru
the case for W. weeks. The assist
ant prosecutor commended that the
state was taken by surprise by the
defense set up and that it would be
necessary to secure additional proof
before proceeding with the case.
The adjournment was granted over
the objection of David Wilentz and
f. NJ. Richie representing the de-
PENDANTS. The state is in possession
of a series of letters received by
Antonio Silvannia, who claims to be
the wife of Dominick Zebbo. one OF
the defendants. The state contends
thai she is not legally Zeobo's wife
and therefore can give testimony in
regard to the letters.
Four persons it was said saw this
basket a few hundred feet from the
bodies. Tie basket which was
made of wood, was filled with rags
and papers. Some Of the papers
bore large splashes of what appear
ed to be blood. it was asserted.
During the excitement incident to
LIlt uhSCONGIy Vi lAO SLAiiASs AAN oNS
ket disappeared. The authorities
said they could not account for its
disappearance. The persons who
are said to have seen the basket
were unwilling to tell the authori-
ties before because they disliked
the idea of being drawn into the
investigation.
These letters were sent from Glen
Cove. L. l., to the woman and in
the event that the state is able to
rrove that the oma is not Zeb-
bo's wife, an expert will be secured
to show that the letters to the wcm-
an and the blackhand letters to
Dominick Cerula, are the same
handwriting.
The oma claims she was mar
ried to Zebbo on July 3 of this year,
three weeks after her first husband
died. The investigation of the au-
thorities will be carried to Chicago
to see if she was divorced from her
first husband. She proved an un-
willing witness for the state yester-
day. evidently desiring to shield
