Oct. 8 to Is, suggesting that every
body in this community take special
interest in the observance anG
make every possible effort to re

Our community is to be con-

which shows that the people of the
community must be practicing fire
prevention. No doubt there are
number of fire hazards here and
we call on everybody to look over
their homes or places of business
at this time and remove anything
they believe would cause fire.

one of their homes and places of

but collect all such amounts, with
the cost of doing business, in the

In the past fifty years, while the
increase in population has been $50

Six 'Free-Lot'
Agents Tangled
Indictments Found Against
Concern Which Used Old
Con Game
SOME OF THE
SCHEMES USED

Indictments returned by the Es-
sex County Grand Jury against six
men come as the result of the cam
paign waged against free lot
schemes by the New Jersey Real
Estate Commission.
Four of the six men indicted are
Richard Sultzkin, alias Richard
Sloan. Max Sultzkin brother of
Richard; Frank Kyle and Samuel
German. Bail furnished by these
men vary from $1,000 to $4,000. 1t
is expected that the other two op-
orators against whom indictments
were found will surrender to the
authorities. In addition to the in
dictments in Essex County the New
Jersey Commission says Max and
Richard Sultzkin have both been
Indicted in Hudson County and al
so in New York County, N. Y, in
connection with real estate devel-
opment operations.
The men operated from an office
of the Lakewood Estates, Inc, To-
Gated at 972 Broad Street, Newark,
which has been closed since the re-
vocation of the license of the oper-
ators by the Real Estate Commits
sion last May 6, after numerous
complaints had been filed with the
Commission.
1t is understood that about thirty
clients of the Lakewood Estates,
Inc, have called at the office of he
prosecutor in Essex County since
the arrest of Max Sultzkin and Kyle
to relate details of purchases made
through these men.

$1,656,000,000 a decade. The figure
of saving may be estimated to ex-
coed this sum because in large
measure fire loss takes place in in
dustrial plants which are engaged
in the production Of further wealth
and whose processes are interrupted
by fire.

pal light and power plant and that thereafter the light committee of the common council had conferences with the appellant at which every effort was made to adjust the differences be- tween them, and there is no sugges- tion in the evidence of a, disposition on the part of the inhabitants or the officers of the town to deal arbitrarily or unjustly with the appellant. He claimed an investment in his business in excess of $180, ,000 and he asserted that he was entitled to ten per cent net return thereon. The contest in the court below was principally upon the extent and the value of his in- vestment. Expert electricians, testi- flying for the appellees, were of the opinion that large proportion of the appellants expenditures was unneces- sary and, that portion thereof was solely for his individual use. Thus he claimed that the power house repre- sented an investment of S32,000, but it was shown that it was a twostory concrete building of which the second story, which cost $10,000, was used
 
 his family, and that his garage, which cost $2,500, was mainly used for pri- vate purposes, and that among the items of his current expenses was fuel, principally used for heating his living quarters. There was testimony also that a recent expenditure of $22,000 l for a new intake of water from the i glacier stream which furnished the electrical power was an injudicious in vestment. In brief, the trial court was of the opinion that the appellant s expenditures for buildings and fix lures unnecessary for the public serv- ice and his unwise investment in the new intake would amount to the sum of $50, ,000, and that more careful consideration of the natural obstacles to be contended with and the prob able future of the town, would have entailed an investment of not more than one-half of the amount which he had put into his business. It does not appear that in disposing of the case the court below failed to observe the principles declared in McCardle V. In. dianapolis Co.,, PIP U. s. 400, and it is to be noted that in the judgment entry the bill was dismissed without preju. dice to another suit after one year of operation under the ordinance. l The decree is affirmed.

 office their opinion on the subject.
 The Seattle Chamber publicity de- partment is carrying on work on scale greater than ever and direct re- suits are seen in Alaska from this work especially so in Southeastern Alaska where the tourist travel has attained enormous proportions. They are practically swamped down there, he said This redowns to the benefit of the entire Territory for the records show tourist traffic to the Interior and through the Port of Seward, has increased materially. This year two Canadian railroads appropriated the sum of S4O0,0OO for publicity purposes, to induce travel in the Yukon Terri tory and from this they have been get tingsonie wonderful results. Unfort- unately, it was pointed out, the laws of the United States prevent railroads and steamship companies from CO., operating which,in the present in- stant is a real handicap to the Ter ritory in competing with that travel. ! MT. Garfield announced that next year a group of 150 Seattle business men members of the Seattle organ ization, were coming to Alaska all or whom would visit this city, Half of the party will disembark at Cordova going over the Richardson highway to Fairbanks, down the railroad to Seward and thence South. The other half will come direct to this port from Seattle leaving for the Interior and hack to the coast over the highway, the entire party reuniting at the Cop per Gateway city southbound to Seat tie. The itinerary of the party will occupy at the very least one month. MT. Garfield also dwelled on the ac- tiyities of the Seattle Mining Club the importance of that organization work to the Territory, in bridging that ever existing gulf between the prospector and mine owner with the investor.
 Upon taking his seat MT. Garfield stated he would welcome answering any question the members asked o1 Ihim relative to those things pertain { ing to the Territory. A number took the opportunity.

GUARD ship IS
SUNK; 2S SAVED
Vessels Collide in Fog Off
Sandy Hook.
BU United Press


NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Twenty-
eight members of the coast guard
cutter Rush, sunk in collision with
the tanker j. A. Moffett Jr, were
brought to Staten Island today after
a dramatic rescue by the ship that
sank them in the darkness off
SANDY Hook.
The accident occurred in a light
fog shortly before 10 o'clock last
night. The Moffett, a big 9500-ton
tanker of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, bound for San
tego, Ore, tore open the starboard
side Of the Rush, near the bow. The
Rush sank in twenty minutes.
The Rush had been on liquor
patrol duty. Capt. w. Morris of the
tanker cut down his lifeboats and
began taking off the cutters crew,
which was in command of Warrant
Officer o. Schottheim. Fortunately
the sea was calm.
A radio call brought the cutters
Seminole and Gresham and three
coast guard patrol boats, and the
crew of the Rush was taken to
Stapleton. The Moffett, with big
hole in her side above the water
line, anchored in Ambrose channel,
near where the collision occurred.
An investigation will be held to fix
the responsibility.

Accusations were made and printed
that the personnel of the coast
guard is inefficient and inferior to
the Navy, and that pursuit Of a
rum schooner was the cause of the
disaster. To these charges, the
Coast Guard magazine, official pub
lication of the service, makes reply
in an editorial to be published in
the January issue.
This editorial is not meant to
stir up anything between the coast
guard and the Navy" the editor of
the magazine comments, and then
adds:
TOO many shore folks see in the
coast guard only the dry law angle.
They do not know, and care less,
that the dry law is only a very
small part of the coast guards duty,
an organization that existed before
there ever was a Navy, an organiza-
ton known in the Navy and the
merchant marine as a real he sea-
going outfit.
THE coast guard deStroyers COM
pare very, very favorably with the
Navy.
1.-THE coast guard destroyers do
all their cruising and practicing in
all seasons and under the most try
ing conditions, not in the placid
waters off Cuba, nor around the
buoys of San Diego, but in the
whipping, tipping waters of the
New England coast.
Officers of the coast guard go
through course of instruction quite
as stringent and exacting as the
course at the Naval Academy"

Rebec was taken for a ride" His
body, drilled through by three bull
lets, was found in the shallow waters
of a creek near the city early Thurs
day morning. Apparently he had
been shot while in an automobile.
and the body then tossed over an

Cliff Donham, a sworn enemy of
Rebec, is held by authorities for
questioning. Recently there was a
split in the ranks of rum runners
and hijackers and there is a theory
that Rebec joined another gang and
that his former associates killed him
for what they might have seen as
disloyalty to them.
A few days ago two Chicago men
were here looking for Rebec. It is
known that gunner from that city
