Superintendent Hopes to have Plant
Going fu'l Force on Mo-day.
The Atlantic Terra Ootta Works is
pretty well tied up today on acoonnt
of a strike among the Dressers and
finishers, mitre ontters and station

pressers department, and when they
demanded the Italians be discharged,
the comDany refused. Yesterday three
delegates from the Stationary Engi
neers Union, of New York, came to
the Atlantic Terra Cotta Works and
made a demand that the engineers
union mnst be recognized or the engi
neers would be Called out. The fac
tory officials refused to grant the
delegate's demands and this morning
the engineers did not go to work.
The police department have a
roundsman and two patrolmen on duty
at the works, but no trouble is ex
pected.
! When Mr. Thrall, the superintendent
! of the plant, was seen by a News re
. porter this morning, he said he did
' not care to make a statement to any
newspauer in regards to the trouble,
but he hoped to have enough men to
start the whole plant by Monday
morning. *
This is just the busy time of the
year at the Atlantic Terra Cotta and
the orders are being rushed as fast as
they can be filled.

THE VALLEY
ESCAPED TAX.
Storage Plant of the Lehigh Val
ley at South PlainfieJd has
been Overlooked.
MAKING INVESTIGATION.
New Assessor in Piscataway Township
made Important Discovery? Authorities
Thought the Railroad Was Paying a
State Tax but Learn Differently? Means
Much to the County.
For the past eleven years the Lehigh
Valley railroad has paid no tax on
their vast storage grounds at Sonth
Plainfield. This has been discovered
by George E. Bating who has jnst
been elected tax assessor for Piscat
away township in which the storage
grounds are located.
Upon inqniry he learned that the
township has been of the opinion that
the State levies a tax for this big
storage business. He also learned
that the State has no jurisdiction and
that it has not been levying any tax
upon it.
The assessor has consulted Lawyer
Harry Ranyon, of Plainfield, con
cerning the matter and an investiga
tion is now on to determine the town
ship's rfght to assess this property
and its right to collect back taxes.
Lawyer Rnnyon today said that lie
thought the township's claim a good
one.
The property is very valuable and
some interested people claim that its
valuation will amount to as much as
the valuation of all the rest of the
county.
The net valuation of the township
last year was $1,514,401. If the Le
high's plant is worth as much, the
tax* buTden other people of Piscat
away town will not be as great.
The matter will doubtless be sifted
thoroughly next month ;when the
County Board of Assessors meet to
make proper adjustment of the amount
of taxes to be raised.

KILLED BY
TROLLEY GAR
Conrad Moser Met Almost Instant
Death Last Night While Going
Home.
WAS RIDING BICYCLE.
Wheel Said to Have Wobbled and He Wis
Thrown Head First Striking Against
the Wheels of the Car Dectors on
the Scene? Trolley Crew Arrested
and Released or Bail.
While riding on a wheel Conrad
Moser, aged fifteen years, of 8 Pearl
Place, was almost instantly killed by
trolley car No. 201 at Washington and
State streets shortly after 7 o'clock
last night. The scene that followed
the horrible affair was most heut
tending as the frenzied mother stood
weeping over her dead boy.
Dr. Silk, who lives close to the
scene of the accident, leached the boy
a few minutes after the aocident
Ten minntes later the boy died.
Officer Morris then notified police
headquarters to send for Coroner
Henry.
Officer Morris arrested motorman
Ohris Hoyer and the conductor Chris
Hostrup and took them to polioe head
quarters. Coroner Henry arrived a
little later and gave permission for
the removal of the body to Thomas
Bnrke's undertaking establishment.
Chief Burke and Detective Huff
gave their personal attention in con
ducting the investigation, and, after
working until nearly midnight, they
were satisfied that the trolley people
were not to blame. William Hoy, of
High street, and James Oar land , of
Oak b treat, were in JA^ar when the
accident oocurrecT
Conductor Hostrup pulled th<^ body
away from the car only to sefe that
one side of the boy's head was crush
ed in and the other was badly cut. It
is also believed that his neck was
broken.
Young Moser was employed in the
Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical Works
at which place his father also worked
until a few years ago when he died.
He was the only support of his mother,
Emily Moser.
At police headquarters last night
both Hostrup and Hoyer, in speaking
of the aooident, told a News reporter
that Moser had the road to himaelf
and that they could not help what
had happened. They did not want to
witness suoh a scene again, they said.
Superintendent Rock furnished bail
in the sum of 1500 for each Jof the
men for a hearing Monday morning.
Recorder Pickersgill accepted the bail
at a late hour last night only after he
was satisfied as to the seriousness of
the affair.
Coroner Henry said this morning
that he was still conducting^an 'inves
tigation and had not decided upon an
I inquest.
