DRY TREATY
NOT FAVORED
Negative Reply Is
Sent to American
Prohi Proposals
ny Al BRADFORD

~ "NtNl AfNfH rkaAN ANNff Hl'NHNNNAh
WASHINGTON. sept i9.-Great
Britain has delivered To tho United
States negative reply to tho Amer
san proposal Tor a treaty eXtending
the is-mle limit 20 combat the ilici,
liquor traffic. Il was officially an.
nounced at the state department to-
isy.
Tho British note was handed 10
Actins Secretary OF State Phillips BY
chargc d'Affaires Chiffon OF the Brit
lsh embassy.
Tho note Is understood 20 be prin
cipally recapitulation OF the British
objections 20 the American proposal
The note sets forth at length the
reasons why the British government
believes that the American proposal
would not be practicable.
However. high state department
officials said they did not regard the
British note as a complete rejection
- the American proposition.
The British left an opening. OF,
ilciRis here hold. by concluding the
note with the statement that the
whole question OF cooperation with
the United States on prohibition will
be submitted 20 the imperial confer
rnce of British premlers IN London
In October.
This conference. made up Of the
heads Of British domlnions and col.
onies. Is expected to consider the
Hughes proposal for ie.mils dry
zone treaty. The state department
declined TO make public the text Of
the British reply. because IL consid
ers negotiation have not yet been
closed.
The Hughes proposal was submit
cd to Great Britain last July. Its
main features were.
Ia treaty agreement between
the two governments extending
American authority to the is.mlle
limit at sea. SO that this government
could more effectively combat rum
runners.
?. An agreement whereby Brit.
ish ships could bring liquor under
seal into American waters without
being subject 10 search and seizure.
This phase OF the agreement would
have overcome the British objections
10 the supreme courts ruling that
foreign ships could not bring liquor.

Wrecked Two Machines.

Late on Sunday afternoon five per-
IONS were injured, two of them quite
seriously, in an automobile collision,
which occurred on the Pleasantville-
Mays Landing road, about a mile from

together head on, while the road was
crowded with machines bound to and
from Atlantic City.
The injured are: Mr.. and Mrs. An
thony Petso, of Mizpah; Angenette,
their ive-year-old daughter, and a man
and girl who were occupants of the
other car. All five were treated at the
office of a physician in Mays Landing
following which Mrs. Petso and her
daughter were hurried to the hospital
for further treatment.
According TO the State police, the
Petso family was bound for Vineland
to attend the wedding of Miss Ange-
line Natonis, a friend of the family.
They were proceeding at a fair rate
OF speed and about to make a turn in
the road on the outskirts of Mays
Landing, when the other automobile,
bound for Atlantic City crashed head
on into their machine. The driver OF
the other car stated that Petso was
driving 0 the wrong side of the road.
Both Mrs. Petso and her daughter
were hurled through the windshield OF
their motor. The daughters right cal

MONEY PROVIDED
FOR FIRE ENGINE
Council Declares Emergency Sit
uation Exists and Authorizes
Notes for $4,000.
SCHOOL MONEY GRANTED.

At the meeting of City Council held
last Friday night, the recently award
ed contract for the new Ahrens-Fox
engine was rescinded, for the reason
that there was no appropriation from
which the necessary $4,000 to pur-
chase the engine could be drawn.
Following this action Council by reso-
luton declared that an emergency sit
uation existed and an emergency ap-
preparation in the sum of $13, 900 was
created.
The contract was then Rewarded
to the Ahrens-Fox Engine Company,
and the Mayor and City Clerk were
authorized to execute the contract, on
the approval of the City Solicitor, and
the money was ordered to be raised
on emergency notes. The new engine
will be delivered here about the first
of the year.
Prior to the meeting Of Council the
Board of School Estimates held a
meeting and authorized a request on
Council for the sum of $4,000 addition
al money for the Decatur Avenue
School building. The request, signed
by the entire Board of Estimates was
submitted to Council and approved.
A resolution was put through Council
to raise the sum of $4,000 IN tempo
rary school bonds, to provide the nee
essary funds and to pay interest and
other expenses incident thereto. An
other resolution which was passed
provided for the raising of $4,000 on
two temporary bonds, to be used in
supplying the sum of $4,100 to be paid
to the Custodian of School Funds for
use at the Decatur avenue building.
Councilman Stephenson reported
that the work of installing sidewalks
and curbs in locations where property
owners had failed to do the work after
sufficient notice had been started, and
that the contractor was now working
on Woodland avenue, in the rear OF
School No. l. He stated that an in
spector should be appointed to over
| see the work, the expense of the in
, spector to be charged against the
properties affected. The Street Com
mittee was authorized to hire an in
| spector at a cost not to exceed SIS per
day.
The Atlantic County Water Compa-
ny was authorized to place a new fire
plug on Decatur venue, approximate
ly 100 feet west of the Shore Fast
Line tracks ON Decatur avenue. 1t
was stated that in addition to the Ris-
ley Laundry, now in that location,
there was soon to be another big bull
ding erected to be used for mill pur-
poses. Another fire plug was also
authorized to be placed at Pennsylva-
mia avenue and Hughes street.
An so watt street light was ordered
placed at Doughty road and Cam
bridge avenu and a light on East
Mulberry avenue was ordered moved
$50 feet eastward of its present loca-
ton.
The City Clerk was instructed to
give William l.. Garrison 30 day in
which to remove an obstruction on
West Merton avenue,
Council considered several tax mat
tiers in which taxpayers asked to have
adjustments made, and the several ad-
iustments were ordered as requested.

JAPANESE RELIEF
IS VERY URGENT
Official Reports Place Number of
Dead at About 10000 in
Tokyo and Yokohama.
MONEY NEEDED AT ONCE

The need of quick response to the
appeal of President Coolidge and the
American Red Cross for funds with
which to relieve suffering in Japan is
very urgent and people who expect to
contribute TO this worthy cause are
urged to send in their contributions TO
this Office AT ONCE. The funds will
be forwarded as soon as received and
proper acknowledgment will be made
through the columns of The Pleasant
vile Press. The first check to reach
the Office was one for Twenty-Five Dol
lars from Jellinek q Allen. Mrs. Z.
g. Shreye sent a check for IS. Others
are on the way but have not yet been
received. Delay is dangerous in this
case.
The official report of the dead in
the two cities of Toxic and Yokohama
is placed at about 10000 now with
many more thousands having been
wounded and a vast number of people
having lost all their possessions and
now in a starving condition. L. S.
Ambassador Woods reports TO the
State Department that an epidemic of
rever has broken out and the need Of
immediate funds was most imperative,
for the purchase of medical supplies
and food.
This is not an appeal that justifes
a drive through personal solicitation.
The response must be from the heart.
1t must be remembered that when the
San Francisco earthquake occurred
the japanese contributed many thous-
ands of dollars for relief to the strick-
en- American city. This is u time
TO help and the Red Cross is on the
firing line and ready if the people
respond to their appeal.
