M. lie Baron" the latter greeted
him. II must speak frankly: and
you must suffer it. Ny men are on
the point of mutiny."
The end of it all was that M. de
Rivarol gave a promise at once to
make the necessary preparations,
and if Captain Blood and his officers
would wait upon him on board the
Victorieuse tomorrow morning, the
treasure should be weighed in their
presence and their fifth share sur
rendered there and then into their
own keeping.
Among the buccaneers thai night
there was hilarity over the sudden
abatement of NJ. de RivaroIs mon
strous pride. But when the next
dawn broke over Cartagena, they
had the explanation of it. The alb
sconding NJ. de Rivarol had gone off
with the treasure, taking with him
the troops and marines he had
brought from France. He had left
behind him at Cartagena not only
the empty-handed buccaneers, whom
he had swindled, but also NJ. de
Cussy.
Captain Blood alone kept his head,
setting a curb upon his deep chagrin.
He had promised himself that before
parting from NJ. de Rivarol he would
present q reckoning for all the petty
affronts and insults to which that
unSpeakable fellow-now proved a
scoundrel-had subjected him.

8 men HURT IN PLANT
EXPLOSION AT CARTERET

CARTERET, Jan. 24.-Eight men,
seven colored and n white, were
injured last night IN ar explosion at
the Liebig fertilizer plant here, ac-
cording to the police report A huge
magnet, used in extracting metal
from other material at the plant,
ignited gas, which caused the acct
dent, according to the police report.
Details, however, were lacking at the
police station.
At the plant of the Liebig Com
fpany this morning, 1t was stated that
the trouble was caused by a dust
explosion, caused by a flash from a
motor. Only seven men, all colored,
were injured, it vas stated at the
plant. OF these, only one, 9. Sinda,
was severely burned, four others are
painfully burned and two others are
slightly burned. Sinda and four
others will be sent to the A1exian
Brothers hospital in Elizabeth to-
day.
superintendent Wood of the Liebig
plant, when asked about the magnet
story, said that there was a magnet
near the scene of the accident and
that the excited negroes thought it
was the magnet that caused the
explosion. They could not under
stand how dust could explode, so
they assumed that there must have
been gas there. This story was the
first version of the accident and was
the n received at police head
quarters.

MAYORS OPPOSE Stokes
PLAN TO REDUCE TAXES

TRENTON. Jan. "a. - A more
careful check upon expenditures for
school purposes would to a certain
extent solve the present problem of
taxation, according to a statement
issued today by Sedley H. Phinney,
secretary of the State League of
Municipalities, containing statements
Of several mayors of municipalities
voicing vigorous opposition to the So
called Stokes tax plan. This plan,
which has been incorporated into a
bill now pending in the legislature,
would make it mandatory on the
part of every municipality in the
state to reduce its tax rate five
points each year for five years.
With the exception of Paterson and
Bayonne, it is a significant fact that
Secretary Phinney does not quote
mayors of the larger cities of the
state such as Newark, Jersey City,
Elizabeth, New Brunswick, Trenton
Camden, Atlantic City and others of
like size. The statement gives the
views of the Executives of Clifton,
Pennington, Paterson, Bayonne, AS
bury Park, Plainfield, Irvington and
Englewood.
