J. Nally, vice president and general manager of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, of America. The Ameri-j can stations were completed a few months ago and v.ere to have been opened to the public yesterday. The control of the wireless plants at Wales, Mr. Nally said, would enable the British admiralty to keep in con stant communication with its naval vessels anywhere within a radius of 3,000 miles. The American stations are important links in this chain, but they are not to remain idle, as the Marconi company is planning to arrange for communication between the New Brunswick station and San Francisco and from there to Hono lulu, commencing probably Septem ber 20. The British admiralty has also made a ruling to the effect that no merchant vessel may send wireless messages within three miles of the English coast so as to avert the pos sibility of confusion with official messages in transmission. Mr. Nal ly has also been Informed that tlie British government had demanded the exclusive services of 150 Welsh Marconi operators for assignment at government controlled plants and aboard British vessels. BOND ISSUEFDR ITER UN IS NOT SOLD AS YET Water Board impnvement bonds amounting to $100,O.JO at four and one-half per cent., dated September 1, have not been sold by City Treas urer Charles K. Seaman, who says he cannot tell how long it will be before they may be disposed of. "There have been no municipal bonds sold since the first of August, except where they were taken over by local interests," Mr. Seaman said. The proceeds from the sale of the bonds were to be used to pay for the installation of the thirty-inch main from Runyon to Ernston and the purchase of a pump. The former work is well under way, and th»> water board depended on the money from the sale of the bonds by Sep tember 1 to finance this project. The condition of the bond market, which has made their disposal Impossible at this time, it is declared, will cau3e the board to borrow money to carry on its improvements already begun. Mr. Seaman said that he was ready to advertise for bids August 1, to be received August 20, but de ferred this action on advice of his advisers in the bond market. Since August 1, he declared, the mark9t for municipal bonds has been prac tically dead. He pointed out that Asbury Park and Trenton had only recently failed to dispose of four and one-half per cent, bonds advertised for sale. He said Newark was bor rowing money at six per cent, be cause of no market for municipal bonds. Essex county, he stated, had succeeded in disposing of $200,000 of a $450,000 bond issue, to banks in that county, but had failed to dispose of the remaining $250,000. Mr. Seaman gave as a reason for the dullness in the municipal bond market the numberless opportunities of great magnitude offered by the European war to moneyed interests. He said that the war had opened up projects for money that promised to pay far in excess of four and one half or five per cent, on the invest ment, the per cent, paid on municipal bonds. Η FALL; CUR TRflFFJCJALTED Trolley traffic was held up for about ari hour between 11:30 o'clock and 12:30 today when the trolley oi the Newark-Perth Amhoy fast line express, due here at 11:25, jumped off the line and entangling itself in the supporting wires near the switch In State street, near Jefferson, tore them apart and severed the trolley wire. Both ends of the wire fell to the pavement. The end on the south of the rent was dead, as the break had cut off its current, but the end on the north of the break was burned off to the next section by the high powered current. The line end sputtered furiously when it fell to the pavement and struck the rail, af ter it had been broken. Superintend ent Van Deursen with the repair crew was soon on the job and tem porary adjustments were made pend ing permanent repairs.

Demarest, of Wood bridge, has again obtained possession of the automobile which was attach ed by Sheriff Houghton by applica tion of Andrew Harcar Saturday af ternoon. Mr. Demarest claims that Harcar took advantage of financial difficul ties in order to obtain possession of the machine, for which a note had been given for $600, the amount of the purchase. Harcar, according to Mr. Demarest, aided by Under Sheriff Houghton, went to Woodbridge and while there broke open the door of Demarest's garage in his presence, taking the machine to Eib's garage at the county seat. Mr. Demarest was advised by Lawyer Reynolds, of New Brunswick, that the manner in which the machine was taken was illegal and Monday afternoon Demarest, in company with Township Attorney Ephriam Cutter, of Woodbridge, went to New Brunswick. After going to the garage Mr. Demarest alleges that Sheriff Houghton, realizing that the seizure had been illegal, turned the machine back to hinv. He says that ho then went into the garage to ob tain gasoline and in the meantime Harcar and his son-in-law, Charles Mattoe, arrived and that Mattoe took the switch key of the car. He re fused to turn it over to Demarest, the latter says, and a warrant for his ar rest was obtained from Judge Sedam, Lawyer Pope, of Somerville, furnish ing bonds for his appearance before the grand jury. Under Sheriff Houghton stated this morning that the way Demarest ob tained possession of the machine again was by placing bonds for $1,200, or twice the amount of the machine, and that he may retain the car for his use until the courts de ride the ownership. » VERDICT IN ACCENT SUIT The suit of Samuel Weiner against the Central railroad for damages re sulting from an injury sustained at the Washington, street grade crossing last November, resulted in a verdict for $150 and costs, given in the dis trict court yesterday afternoon by the selected jury after a half hour's deliberation. Suit was brought for $500 by lawyer Thomas Drown, and Charles K. Miller appeared as coun sel for the railroad company. Wein er, Dr. J. L. Lund, John Catala, August Pelegrina, Mike Maehes and James C. Nolan testified for the plaintiff, and George Cedair, William Stoneker, James Cullihan, Henry Weyman and Michael Griifln for the defense. The trial consumed several hours. Judgments were given by Judge Beekman in the following cases: John Hawrilko vs. John Mowrowis ki, $29.11; People's Ice and Con struction Company vs. Joseph Koncz, $30.56. With tho largest attendance on record, the local public schools open ed this morning for the fall and win ter term. Although school No. 9 and the annex to No. 4 school have not yet been completed, provisions ire being made to care for the schol are by holding half day sessions in some of the grades until the new buildings are ready. Five of the lo- 1 sal teachers were unable to report for duty this morning on account of illness. The high school scholars reported at school in the respective order of seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen, so as to avoid confusion. The freshman class is unusually large this year. BARRETSON AND BURKE ARE ELEVENTH HOUR CHOICES (Continued from Pa^e 1.) from a display of the hand until absolutely necessary, wag maintained up to a late hour today. The aim seemed to be to hold Mr. Weaver's name out until the last minute and not to enter it unless absolutely necessary. This meant that if Mr. Garretson or a similarly strong Re publican was put up to run, Mr. Weaver would be put in to buck him, while if a weaker Republican was secured, a correspondingly weaker Democrat would be selected. In that way the Democrats would endeavor to hold the alderman-at-large posi tion and a certainty of a majority in the council. As a result of these apparent decisions, there was much gossip about city hall today. Mr. Weaver went to the office of Collec tor of Revenue Richard P. White about 11 o'clock and immediately went into a private conference, which was of lengthy duration. Democratic leaders reached a com promise this afternoon after several conferences and it was announced that Thomas F. Burke, once an op ponent to the organized Democratic forces, was the choice for the mayor alty position. Alderman-at-Large Weaver was the first man to sign Mr. Burke's petition and it was hur ried over the rounds among promi nent Democrats, where It is now in circulation for signatures. It is ex pected that it will be filed with the city clerk just before 5 o'clock this afternoon. Immediately after this decision had been reached, Democrats an nounced with a smile that the city was bound to have an undertaker for mayor. They concluded that Mr. Garretson's candidacy was a certain ty and that the unique situation of two undertakers opptfaiug one an other for the position of mayor had arisen. * \ ·1 ■ · . -r THE THEATRES SURE WINNER AI THE MAJESTIC "Bringing up Father," a new car toon play from the pictures con ceived by George McManus and pro duced by that veteran producer, Gus Hall, comes to the Majestic theatre Friday. It must be sure of success, otherwise Gus Hill would not hare selected it. The novelty of the offer- j ing is that it is the first real vaude- J ville review yet ofTered in the place of the stereotyped musical comedy, j The entire cast is made up of special- | ty people. A large chorus of pretty girls weld the entertainment togeth er. It's a sure winner. Sept. 8—First registration day for primary and general election. Sept. 22—Primary and second reg istration day for general election. Oct. 20—Third and final registra tion day for general election. Nov. 3—General election. In the interests of "peace and har mony," Coroner James J. Flynn this morning declared he would not file a petition as candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for alderman in the third ward. He says that lie will Dot handicap the run of Matthew Weirup. Mr. Flynn stated that he would devote his entire time to tne election of his partner in business, Lee J. Thompson, as the regular nominee of the party on the coroner ticket. Mr. Flynn said if Mr. Thomp son is chosen coroner the location of the coroner's office will be the same as it lias been during his own term in that office. It was announced last night that Joseph H. Mullen, of 3U7 Park ave nue, had also withdrawn from the aldermjnic race in the third ward in favor of Mr. Weirup. Thus, accord ing to the wishes of the pilots in the Democratic party here, Mr. Weirup will have clean sailing for the Demo cratic nomination, it is believed. In event he becomes the regular Demo cratic nominee, lie would become the opponent of Alderman F. William Hilker for the general election.
