Tottenville, Sept. 17:—Police at
tached to the various precinct sta

rules of the road. The section of
the ordinance which the police are
enforcing is that which says that no
operator of any motor vehicle, while
operating the same on any street,
shall use any acetylene, electric or
other headlight unless it shall be so
shaded as not to blind or dazzle
other users of the highway or make
it difficult or unsafe for them to
ride, drive or walk thereon.
This ordinance has been enforced
In Manhattan and Brooklyn, but not
in the outlying districts of the other
boroughs until recently. All those
using the glaring lights are given a
warning by the -motorcycle men and
upon being seen the second time vio
lating the ordinance will be sum
moned to court.

U. S. MEXICO PLAN
WORRIES EUROPE
Great Britain and France Ask
as to the Program of Presi
dent Wilson.
Washington. Sept. 17.—That the pow
ers of Europe lire taking a deep Inter
est In the Mexican situation was lndl
cated by calls made at the state de
partment by M. Jusserand, the French
ambassador, and Counselor Barclay of
the British embassy, acting In behalf
of Ambassador Spring Rice.
It became known following these vis
Its that Great Britain and France will
withdraw their consuls from northern
Mexico If the order Issued by Secre
tary Lansing recalling American con
suls from that region Is not canceled.
There is reason to believe that Amer- |
ican consuls In Villa territory may be
ordered to remain at their posts, al
though American residents in that re
glon are expected to leave wlthout»de
lay.
Great Britain, France and other Eu
ropean powers will have huge claims
for damages to file when the time comes
for Mexico as a nation to settle up for
the foreign lives sacrificed and the for
elgn property destroyed and eonfiscat
ed in the course of the five years' revo
lutlonary movement In Mexico.
The calls made by Ambassador Jus
serand and Counselor Barclay to the
state department were apparently In
spired by the reports in circulation that
the Pan-American conference at the
meeting to be held In New York to
morrow will assent to the proposal
made by First Chief Carranza that the
representatives of the seven republic?
concerned shall enter into discussions
with him relative to the Internationa'
aspects of the Mexican affair.
FUNERAL FOR HERMAN AMEND
IN SAYREVILLt YESTERDAY
Special to the EVK.V/Λ'Ο NEWS.
Seyreville, Sept. 17.—The funeral
of Herman Amend, a former Sayre
ville justice of the peaco, who was
found drowned in a pond along the
Main street, near the South River
bridge on Tuesday morning, was
held from his late home on Albert's
Hill, Sayreville, yesterday afternoon
at 2 o'clock.
The deceased was sixty years of
age. He left home on Monday even
ing to go to South River on business.
When he failed to return home his
family become somewhat worried
but thought he had decided to stay
over night in South River. It was
not until Tuesday morning when the
body was discovered by men on their
way to work that it was known he
was dead.
The body of water where the body
was found is known as Furman's
pond. It comes very close to the
road and there is no protection of
any sort to separate it from the road.
Mr. Amend must have stumbled and
fell into it in the dark as from the
fact that he still had his hat on when
found. There seems to be little evi
dence of foul play.
The deceased was a life long resi
dent of Sayreville, having at one
time been a justice of the peace here.
He was also well known over at
South River.
He is survived by a wife, Sophia,
two sons, Frederick and Herman;
four daughters, Sophia, Helen and
Emma Amend, and Mrs. Annetta
Rickenback. Interment took place
in Monumental cemetery, South
River.

CAN START AUTOMOBILE
BY WIRELESS TELEGRAPH
For the first time in the history of
the automobile it has been demon
strated that a car can be started
from a distance by means of the
wireless telegraph.
This was proved at the Indiana
State Fair where the motor of a
Model 83 Overland was started every
five minutes by a wireless spark
from the Overland headquarters in
Indianapolis, five miles away.
A complete wireless outfit, con
sisting of motor, generator, trans
formers, relays and other parapher
nalia, was installed in the show win
dows of the city salesrooms. This
was connected with an aerial on the
roof of the building and by stepping
the alternating current up from 110
volts to 16,000 volts the apparatus
made it possible to send messages
300 miles.
The Overland car on exhibition at
the fair grounds was fitted up with
a receiving apparatus and the neces
sary automatic switches and relays
for throwing on and off the electric
current of the starter and magneto.
An automatic switch was regulated
so as to allow the car to run for
forty-five seconds, after which the
magneto was cut off. The operation
of starting the car was repeated at
five-minute intervals.
