People interviewed Join in
Protests for Action by
Township Committee
PRESSURE Is LOW
Say Fire in Keasbey Section
Would Prove to be Most
Disastrous

FORDS, April 25.-Albert Larson s
assertion before the township COM
mittee on Monday night as to the
lack of water pressure in the Fords
district was corroborated yesterday
afternoon by residents and taxpay-
ers in the course of a survey made
yesterday afternoon by a reporter
of the Evening News along the var
ious sections of Fords.
Main street, according to the in
formation received, is one of the
parts most affected. Water at that
point is at a premium and obtain
able at certain periods. Mrs. Rob-
ert Ceiling, Sr., one of the property
owners along the road said:
I'VE never have any water here
and if the water runs we take adj
vantage of the situation and fill our
tubs, so as to have water when it
does not run. Most of the time we
get the water from the WELL"
Other taxpayers presented the sit
uation almost similar to that of Mrs.
Ceiling. Mrs. Arthur Post, Nels
christensen and Rasmus Dixon re-
port similar conditions. At the home
of Alfred Sandorf it was said that
they had trouble in getting water
throughout the winter.
There is no water running today"
pointed out Mrs. Sandorn.
King Georges road homes have
suffered as much as other vicinities.
A fair example was shown yesterday
by Howard w. Sharp of the Fords
school. The water meter at the
school registered a pressure of ten
pounds which is almost the lowest
pressure under which the water
would run. Mr@ Sharp pointed out
that the conditions of low water
pressure have affected the school.
Some two weeks ago, the principal
said, all the classes were dismissed
for the day due to the lack of water
The uncertainty of obtaining water
has been quite evident right at the
school house, Mr.. Sharp declared.
In the course of investigation
some residents pointed out that a
few years ago they had banded to-
gether and signed petition for bet
ter water service and presented 1t to
the township committee. In spite of
the promises made to adjust the
matter no action has ever been TAX
en-. Plans to file further petitions
are being made by few of the tax

( about the subject She evaded ques-
tions in that direction and went on
to praise him.
He was an exceptionally bright
and able man and only in the last
years of his life he was not so well.
He was just a physical and mental
wreck. particularly when his eye
sight gave. out" Mrs. Freeman con-
tinued. Unpretentious of all her
, achievements as a writer she pointed
to a library of books containing her
own works. Most of them were au-
tographed, reading ITO My Dear
Husband"
Mrs. Freeman seems to be in fear
not to say anything that might hurt
anyone's feeling. Asked about Mohr-
ing, she said she did not know him
and could not say anything about
him. She saw him only three times
in her life, Mrs. Freeman said. 1.-THE
last time he came over and told me
that my husband died about twenty
minutes ago" she said. She also de-
clared that certain persons have call
ed on her and asked her to compro-
mise with Mohring. But what is
there to compromise ?" she remark
ed.
Mrs. Freeman also said that at her
own suggestion the home which she
occupies has been built. She pur-
chased the five acre plot she said
and with her own funds, which she
received as royalties from her book;
she financed the building of th(
home. Costly furnishings in the
house were said TO have been bought
with the money earned through her
writings.
Mrs. Freeman is calmly awaiting
the result of the court litigation. She
feels sure that her rights will bt
fully protected and expressed hel
confidence in former Senator Thorn.

STOCKS RALLY ON J. $. STEEL REPORT
Volume Of Trading Is Heavier Than Experienced In
 Many Months
By WALTER E. BROWN New York Commercial

(Leased Wire to The Age-Herald)
 NEW YORK, Oct. Silt took very little forecasting to predict a rally in the stock market Wednesday after Tuesday afternoon. The rally came with a volume of trading heavier than has been experienced in many months, the turnover for the day being almost 100000 shares.
 Steel common was naturally the most active stock on the list, mak- ing a gain of 51A points for the day. There was a buoyancy to the mar ket that has been terribly lacking for a long time. Pessimism gave way to optimism and there were just as many rumors of favorable purport as there have been of the opposite character of late.
 American Can was bought heavily and gained 5% points, notwithstand- ing that it was selling ex-dividend, on a report said to be based on ex- cellent authority, that the directors would declare an extra dividend after the turn of the year. There Ohio intended to increase It's divi- dend and Wall street suddenly took a notion to look over the entire in- dustriaL and rail list to discover what other possibilities there were of this kind.
 Says Farmers Well off.
 On top of all this there was the statement of Jesse Livermore, noted speculator, who summarized the sft- uatiGn exactly on the lines main tained in this correspondence. He admitted that stocks had more than discounted industrial readjustment. He pointed out that 90 per cent of the farm products are profitable and that in proof of the buying power of the agricultural sections there were the heavy earnings of the mall order houses.
 He also laid stress upon what the present writer has repeatedly dwelt upon that the people have become accustomed to a higher standard of living and that their increased re- duirements are bound to make in creased demands upon industry. MT. Livermore argued that even the oil situation would care for itself be- cause the low prices for crude have discouraged drilling of new wells and that 1t Is only question of time when the increased demand for fuel oil among gasoline will absorb the surplus As to the excess wheat sup ply 1t will cause the farmers to cut down their acreage so as to come within domestic needs now that Flu ropean countries are getting down to work and raising crops for their own needs.
 Altogether there was moro heart put into Wall street that it has known for a long time and everywhere 1t was acclaimed that the turn had come It may be so and it should be so. Wall street has only to believe 1t to be so to make 1t so. Conditions are fundamentally sound and it Is only necessary for Wall street to have the courage of it's convictions.

the cooperation of their brains as well as their hands" said the speaker in telling of experiments in the Pa cific mills. He declared that the day of suddenly posting wage reduction notices had gone by in that plant and that conferences between work CTS and the management in regard to wages had proved a success.

WHEAT ADVANCES ON ACTIVE BUYING

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Active buying in which houses with eastern con- nections took the lead had much to do with a material advance today in the wheat market here. The buying was based more or less on a widely circulated bullish opinion as to gen. eral business conditions. Wheat closed firm, 1@1%c net higher, De- cember s1.071k @1.o75s and May s1.12A. Corn showed %@1h@1%c gain. and oats A @ F @ssc. In pro- visions the outcome was unchanged tG 200 lower.
 From the outset, what displayed decided upward tendency that many traders connected with. devel- opments in the New York stock mar ket, notably an increase In the divi- dend on United States Steel common. The greater part of the wheat mar ket advance, however. came after a bullish statement was issued by, 8 stock exchange speculator who at various times has operated on a big scale in the wheat pit. The purchas- ing which accompanied the advance In wheat was especially effective because of absence Of any aggressive selling and because of higher quota tons at Liverpool.
 Possibility that railroad freight rates on export grain might be cut and chances of an upward revision of the American tariff on wheat im- ports were also given some notice as bullish factors in wheat. Besides. word that the American Society Of Friends would feed 100000 Ger man children this winter was to some extent an element In turning senti- ment against the bear side. and so, too, were reduced estimates of the 1923 wheat yield In Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana.
 Corn and oats ascended in sym pathy with wheat and as a result of disappointing husking and or predictions that corn receipts would soon lessen in volume.
 Liberal deliveries of lard on Oc- tober contracts weakened the pro- vision market
