They asked the dog and the puppy
and the rabbit and the duck and just
everybody-but nobody had the cats

Suddenly they heard a whacking,
smacking sound.
The rag doll was cleaning house
for the pin-cushion lady and beating
her bugs.

only for the purposes of the argu-

the trial court properly submitted
the petitioners confession to the jury
and gave proper instructions upon
the question whether or not it was

submitted that the jury was entitled
to disbelieve the confession even if
admissible and voluntary and that
the foregoing instructions precluded
them from so doing and was preju-
dicial error.
Safeguards Are Cited.
Petitioner in this case asserts
rights under the Constitution of the

its comprehensive and enlightening
opinion in the Bran ease that the
rule safeguarding confessions in

amendment TO the Constitution of the

to deduce from them what quantum

quate to create, by the operation OF
hope or fear, an involuntary condi-

tered is that all the decided cases
necessarily rest upon the state of
facts which existed in the particular
case, and, therefore, furnish no GER

that given state of fact was ade-

IN WATER RATE
Bad Service Claimed by Wit
nesses at the Midd|esex
Water Co. Hearing
BEFORE STATE BOARD
Different Phases of Matter Is
Told of by Carteret, Me-
tuchen and Woodbridge

The fight of the municipalities to
prevent the proposed large rate in
crease of the MiddlesexsWater Com
pany was continued yesterday before
the Board of Public Utility Com
missioners at Newark. Up to today
the water company had been putting
in its side of the case. Yesterday
the municipalities started to present
their angle of the situation and the
session was by fac the liveliest held
so far.
The councilmen from Carteret,
Metuchen and township committee
men from Woodbridge attended the
hearing with brigade of witnesses
so large that only standing room was
available in the public utility hear
ing room. These witnesses all testi-
fed that the service of the Middle
sex Water Company is and has been
Inadequate and unsafe for several
years. Much corroborative testimony
was given to the effect that the sup
ply was inadequate and the pres
sure insufficient in fire after fire
throughout the territory served, en-
dangering lives and causing property
to be destroyed.
Not only did the councilmen testi-
fy as to the complaints they had re-
ceived from their citizens year after
year, but members of board of
health, fire chiefs, householders,
plant engineers and plant managers
also told of the water plight ex-
perienced. The testimony of the
municipal officials was to the effect
that despite the fact that lives had
been continually endangered and
complaints made to the company,
nothing had been done to eliminate
the danger. Plant engineers and
managers testified that their opera
tons had been interfered with and
that they were unable to get i'm
proved service despite a long series
of complaints.
The only fireworks that took
place was when Attorney Wherry
attempted to prevent Councilman
Joseph C. Child. of Carteret. from
testifying as to the expenditures
made by the borough of Carteret be-
cause of the inadequate pressure.
Senator Thomas Brown, counsel for
the board, asked Councilman Child a
question which he answered and am
plified.

FIREmEN CALLED BEFORE GRAND Jury
IN INVESTIGATION OF IMMORAL DANCI
Bridge Plan Impresses COethaIs
Bruck Ave. Still Seems Most
Favored Location for Bridge
to Staten Island from Here

An inspection of locations for the
proposed vehicle bridge to he built
l;across the Staten Island Sound be-
tween this city and Tottenville. thus
connecting the states OF New YORK
and New Jersey. was made yesterday
afternoon by General George Goe-
thals the noted builder of the Pana-
ma Canal Senators and assembly
men of New York and New Jersey,
Perth Amboy city officials and lead
ing citizens of Staten Island ac-
companied the general. Not only
did the general inspect possible sites
here. but also at Elizabeth. where
that city advocates the erection of
bridge connecting the states.
General Goethals proved himself
to be an interested listener and in
spected the various sites visited and
asked many questions, but refused
to make any comments 10 news
paper men or others in the party
CONCERNING the location at which he
thought the bridge should be built.
He said. however. that all the infor-
nation obtained by him would be
carefully gone over. When attempts
were made to question him concern
ing possible sites, or the one that
most appealed to him, he declared
he had nothing to. say for publica-
tion at this time.
After looking over several sites for
the proposed bridge on the Perth
Amboy side of the Staten Island
sound, If appearances count for any,
thing. General Goethals seemed to
be the most interested in that al
Bruck avenue which Is in the north
western section of the city and In a
direct line with the proposed new
state highway leading to the new
1Etcfe bridge over the Raritan river.
1T11e general wassso much impressed
by this point that at his own request
he was taken over to the proposed
connecting link between Bruck ave-
nue. to Cleveland avenue, which will
be the new approach to the bridge
over the Raritan river.
Another factor which seemed to
impress the general was the fact
that by locating the bridge at Bruck
avenue the heavy through traffic
would not come into the center of
the city and the property damage
therefore would be small. From
questions asked by General Goethals
during the inspection trip it was
easy to see that he is desirous of
eliminating property damage as
much as possible and also locating
the bridge where it will not form a
traffic congestion through the. busi-
ness part of the city.

WAIT REACTION
|OF WHITE HOUSE
|ON WORLD COURT
On New Plan Proposed by
the Resolution of Sem
ator Lodge
WAS GREAT SURPRISE
The Matter Is Sure to Be the
Object of Debate During
the Coming Days
WAS GREAT SURPRISE

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Some
definite reaction from the White
House and state department. was
awaited today to the new world
court plan proposed in detail yes
terday by Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts. Republican leader and
chairman. of the foreign relations
committee. which mas before it a
number of proposals dealing in
different ways with the same mat
ter.
Senator Lodges resolution pro-
poses the setting up of a World
Court through the Hague conference,
which would be reconvened at the
call of the President for the purpose,
and makes no reference to the Court
of International Justice established
under the auspices of the League of
Nations.
Comment on the plan. which was
submitted to the senate without ex-
PLANTATION, was withheld yesterday in
executive quarters, and it was not
disclosed whether the President or
Secretary Hughes had been inform
ed in advance of Mr.. Lodges inten-
ton. Indications appeared clear,
however, that Mr.. Coolidge had not
altered his view, formerly set forth
to congress, that the United States
should accept membership in the In
.ternational Court already in exist
ence. as recommended by President
Harding.
Senator Lodges plan is regarded
by some of his colleagues on the
foreign relations committee as COM
plicating the World Court situation
in the senate. in view of the multi
plicity of proposals pending. He
gave no indication of his intentions
with reference to seeking action on
the proposal. but some members ex-
pressed doubt that, in the present
situation. action on any of the meas
ures could be expected at the cur
rent session of congress.
