FIGHT IS WON
ON POLLUTION


Washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amb0y Evening News.)
WASHINGTON, June THE
three-year fight to secure legislation
to prohibit pollution of the beaches,
harbors, rivers and coastal waters
generally with oil refuse came to a
successful end yesterday with the
final passage by congress of the Line
berger anti-pollution BILL.
The Lineberger bill, introduced by
Congressman Lineberger of Califor-
MIA, is practically a duplicate of the
Observation-Disclosures bill for
which the New Jersey representative
and senator fought so hard in the
last congress and which passed the
senate a year ago, but failed to pass
the House during the closing days
of the session.
The House passed the anti-pollu-
tion bill Thursday afternoon and the
Senate adopted 1t yesterday morning.
The New Jersey senators and con-
gressmen and Governor Silzer have
worked hard to bring about passage
of this legislation by Congress.
II am very well satisfied with this
bill,' said former Congressman
Frank Appleby of Asbury Park, fol-
lowing its final adoption.
Former Senator Frelinghuysen was
among those who urged adoption oi
the bill at the hearing before the
senate committee. while former Con.
gresham Appleby and Congressman
Bacharach of Atlantic City and Ell.
mer Geran of Matawan. supported
the bill at the hearings before the
House rivers and harbors commit.

C. Milton Macmillan, Cornell
Star, will Represent the :
United States
is 123-PoUND WRESTLER
Has Made Wonderful Record
on Mat While in College
Holds Honors

C. Milton MacWilliam, of this city,
a student at Cornell University, is
preparing for his trip to Paris.
France. where he will assist in rep
resenting the United States in the
1913 pound wrestling contests on the
Olympic games program.
The local boy, son of the coun-
ty probation officer, has the greatest
record of any Middlesex resident,
as far as college athletics are con-
cerned. He won the right to repre-
sent his division in the Olympic
wrestling contests, by finishing Sec
ond to Bryan Hines. OF Northwest
ern University, in the recent national
Square Gardeil, New York City
Twenty-ofle persons started in this
tourney and the local boy lost the
final match on time limit.
MacWtlliam has carried off numer-
GUS titles since entering the wrest-
ling game at the Ithaca. N. Y. col
lege. Last winter he won the uni
versity wrestling championship in
the lis pound division and this year
is in the next class. He has been
successful in his other athletic un-
dertakings at the university and Is a
leader in class and military events.
BY defeating Macmillan in the
recent tourney, Hines carried on the
National A. A. U. championship for
the division, and also won first right
to represent this country in the 123
pound class Olympic wrestling
events.
The Muse. published recently by
the Mu chapter of the Sigma Pi fra
ternity, of Cornell, says the follow
ing about MacWilliam:
Last year he was elected to Tau
Beti Pi. Rod and Bob, and Sphinx
Head, and this year to Scabbard and
Blade. He is chairman of the mill
tary honor system committee and a
member Of the C. E. and central
honor committees. For the past
year he has been commanding major
of the artillery unit of the r. O. T.
c. This spring he was elected to the
spring day hop and senior ball COM
mittees. Mac" captained the wrest-
ling team this season and won all
his bouts in the 115 pound class
throughout the regular schedule
against Springfield, Columbia, Le-
nlSn, Fenn.s FenH state ana oyid-
cuse. A few days before the inter-
collegiate championship matches at
Yale the ligaments in his left arm
were badly torn. and he wrestled
the entire time with his arm prac-
tically useless in heavy tape and
bandages. Nevertheless. he defeated
four opponents. but lost to Cary, OF
Penn State whom he had defeated
before. This gave him second place.
He won the la pound championship
of the Niagara Association and of
the Amateur Athletic Union at the
Buffalo preliminary Olympic trials,
and will wrestle at Madison Square
Garden in May against twenty other
contenders for the position on the
Olympic team.
"a great many men are good stu
dents, others are good athletes, and
others have the quality of being
liked by everyone. In MAC" we
find all of these"
Macmillan is to sail for France
on Monday, June 16. it has been an
