$50 A DAY TO OPERATE
Problem of Clearing Water
Has Been Solved Since
Reservoir Was Started.
George A. Johnson, the consult
ing engineer, engaged by the Board
ot Water Commissioners to investi
gate the water supply situation in
Perth Amboy and to oversee the
sonstruction ot the new 40,000,000
gallon reservoir was again before
the water board last night with a
mw project, which would cost ap
proximately $100,000 to install and
\bout $50 a day to operate. This
lew plant would rid the city water
>f all iron and corrosive qualities
Mr. Johnson said, he pointing out
.he new reservoir will not mean bet
ter water as far as the absence ot
iron and corrosive qualities is con
cerned. The new reservoir, the ex
pert told the board members, is for
' protection awainst fire and in case
of anything happening to the mains
under the river, and is not for cor
rection of the bad qualities now
contained in the city water.
According to Mr. Johnson the ex
penditure of $100,000 to clear the
city water of all impurities would
be a good Investment in that it
would save the city that much in a
short time In making it unnecessary
‘o replace corroded pipes and joints
He also pointed out that the con
sumers would be greatly benefited
In that the water would never be of
•he red water varfety caused by fron
lediment and that it would not dis
color porcelain or white fabrics
which were touched by the water,
rfe said that the matter of reducing
ir taking entirely from the water
.he corrosive qualities is a matter
if grave Importance, mentioning the
possibility of lead poisoning result
ng from the acids contained In the
/rater acting on lead pipes,
A two months investigation into
this subject has been conducted by
him Mr. Johnson, for the purpose
of iearning what steps should be
taken to remedy conditions. He
had experimented with chemical de
vices he said and secured other ex
oert opinion at no expense to the city.
There are two propositions in the
problem, he said, the first being that
>f remedying the continued red
water and the second of preventing
the solvent action of the water on
iead and iron pipe. It is a unique
ind unusual problem, he said, and
although he had secured estimates
is to the cost of its elimination from
one firm, this concern was willing to
l take Its chances with the rest in the
ft bidding.

BOV IS RESCUE!!
Vivian Warren, Eight Years
Old, Saves Sigurd Guster
son From Drowning.
An act of exceptional bravery was
performed last Tuesday afternoon
by Vivian Warren, eight year old

unusually high, making the water
off the bulkhead several feet deep
and Sigurd, climbing up on the
bulkhead shouting, "Watch me
take a billy Hopper,’’ plunged off
disi guarding the warnings shouted
at him by the other children who
witnessed the act. The boy came
to the surface possibly ten feet
from shore where the water was
over his head. Unable to swim, he
became frightened and shouted for
help. Older boys standing upon the
shore refused to go to his rescue
because they wero fully clothed,
ar.d as the child was sinking for the
third time little Vivian reached him
and swam with hii» to the shore.
The boy was unconscious and vig
orous first aid measures by Vivian,
assisted by the older boys, were nec
essary to restore him to conscious
ness.

WASHINGTON. July 7.—Treasury
Secretary Mellen announced that un
der a provisional refunding arrange

the carriers would receive about
$500,000 000 in additional advances
from the federal government within

Mr. Mellon said the negotiations
probably would be completed in
two days and said advances to the
railroad would be equivalent to the
sums spent during government con
trol. The government will receive
six per cent interest.
All of the claims and counter
claims between the railroad and
government for maintenance, etc.,
are involved in the negotiations. Mr.
Mellon stated.
Mr. Mellon indicated that addi
tional appropriation would be
sought from congress.
Mr. Mellon believes the advances
will be beneficial to financial con
ditions and general business.
“In the long run,” he added, ‘‘the
government would obtain a net
profit from the advances, since the
money could be secured at a lower
Interest rate .Railroad securities
now held by the treasury amount to
about $400,000,000. and interest on
some amounting to about $18,000,
000 a year has been regularly met.”

Mellon Sees Danger of Im
mediate Government Deficit
Unless Congress Acts.
[By The Associated Press.]
WASHINGTON, July 7.—Congress
has been asked to defer action on
the soldiers’ bonus bill by Secretary
Mellon, who in a letter read in the
senate yesterday, issued a warning of
the grave danger of an immediate
government deficit. The letter was
addressed to Senator Frelinghuysen
in response to a request for statement
as to the financial obligations the
bill, which has already passed the
House would place upon the govern
ment.
"This is not a time to impose sev
eral billion dollars of new liabilities
upon an already over burdened trea
sury, adding the bill would cost the
country between a billion and a half
and five and a quarter billion dollars.
It would swamp the cost of the gov
ernment and defeat the administra
tion's program of retrenchment and
economy."
It also would block all refunding
operations on the national debt, and
he added, depress further the prices
of Liberty bonds.
The letter was read as the bill was
called up in the senate and Senator
Underwood, said it was "strong,
forceful and to the point.” Just what
effect it would have was not Indicat
ed by leaders, but it was said pro
tracted senate debate on the bill was
in prospect.”
VALUE OF BIBLE BEADING
TOLD TO ENDEAVORERS
NEW YORK, July 7—The value

deavor Association.
The Rev. Kendall of Washington,
D, C.. said "that the sacredness and
perpetuity of the home were being
assailed from many sides anil urged
it be safeguarded with the Bible.”
The Rev. Dr. Amos Wells of Bos
ton, deplored tendencies in litera
ture saying:
"No literary style is beautiful that
panders to lust or argues infidelity
or teaches treason.”
He said the Bible was the crown
of ail books.
"Urging that the church put forth
a united effort against prize fights.”
the Rev. Dr. Corey said:
. "It is foolish to talk of arresting
Dempsey. I tell you we all ought to
be arrested if it is continued. Prize
fighting is no different than when
Corbett and Sullivan were chased
from state to state.”

NEW ARRESTS
III U H. CASE
May Lead to Recovery of
$75,000 Worth of Plati
num-Stolen at Plant.
The arrest of three Newark men,
at least one saicl to be “an expert
safe blower,” may lead to the recov
ery of the $75,000 worth of plati
num stolen from Plant No. 1 of the
Roessler, & Hasslacher Chemical
early in the morning of December
-'9, 1919. Prosecutor Joseph E.
Strieker intimated this morning
when questioned in regard to a re
port from Newark that the men
were being connected with the lo
cal <fise. County detectives are in
vestigating the report.
Ernest Tonghini and Frank Jer
sey, of this city, are now serving
terms in the Rahway reformatory
and state’s prison respectively, in
connection with this robbery, an ap
peal in their eases having failed.
Sergeant George Kass and Detec
tive Michael Rielley of the Newark
police and the Pinkerton detective
agency is credited with the arrest of
the three men. George Hermann in
New , York, and Hirschy Feinberg
and Samuel Pender, alias William
Kaplan and “Sam the Carpenter” at
Savin Rock. Conn.
Rumors about the county connect
Hermann, Feinberg and Pender with
the case in various ways. It is said
that Sergeant Kaas received an an
onymous letter later in the day the
R. & H. robbery was committed and
in the letter there was a note which
stated:
“This Is foi\ you if you are wise.
He is expert safe robber. Sam Ben
der, Carpenter.”
Another rumor is to the effect that
Herbert Mackie. one of two Brooklyn
men arrested in Metuchen sometime
ago in connection with several thefts
and other eases, and at present be
ing held in the county jail, stated
•that Tonghini was not ini plica ted in
the case, and that he, Mackie. knew
who committed the robbery and
knew where to locate the robbers.
This statement is alleged to have
•been made, when Mackie learned
that Tonghini was really going to
the reformatory to serve a term, and
was not an officer placed in the cell
to quiz him.
Dave Kron. the Brooklyn barber,
who was the real witness for the
state in the conviction of Tonghini
and Jersey, is now serving a twelve
year teirn in New York state for rob
bery. The question is being Asked,
would Kron’s testimony convict the
two local men, if the trial was to be
held at this time?
captain or oeiecuves i.awrence
A. Long worked in Newark with Ser
geant Kaas a week after the H. &
H. case was committed. Almost a
year after the robbery was commit
ted. Bender was arrested on sus
picion, but was discharged in an ef
fort to get his accomplices. Several
days after his release, four compan
ions were arrested in a sensational
Paterson silk robbery.
Hermann was arrested in New
York last Monday, and Bender and
Feinberg in Connecticut, in a res
taurant they had purchased and were
using as a rendezvous. Feinberg has
fought extradition, but Bender is
back in Newark. The Newark po
lice are endeavoring to connect the
men with at least five big jobs in
which the loot totaled close to $150—
000.
Ft is said the safe crackers arrest
ed by the local police in the ware
house of A. M. Metzendorf, sometime
ago. were a part of this gang. These
men are at present serving prison
and reformatory terms.

Democrats File Minority Re
port in House—Conspiracy
Hatched in Secrecy.
WASHINGTON, July 7.—Demo
cratic members of the ways and
means committee, in a minority re
port tiled today in the House of
representatives, denounced the ad
ministration's tariff bill as "a con
spiracy to benefit a few favorites at
the expense of all humanity,"
"Dike every conspiracy, it has been
hatched in secrecy," the report said,
adding:
"We record our solemn judgment
that this measure is a plan to plun
der the people of our own oountiy
and to oppress the people of every
country for the benefit of a few men
who have succeeded in usurping for
all practical purposes the taxing
power of this government, using it
primarily to enrich themselves and
secondarily to finance the political
party which tolerates, encourages
and facilitates the usurpation."
The report declares the tariff was
not an issue in the last campaign
and that this is not the time to write
a tariff law. They assert the prob
lems which "confront our people,
cripple our industry, stifle our com
merce and perplex an amiable ad
ministration have nothing to do with
the tariff.”
Criticizing the Republican ma
jority for withholding the bill from
them and from the House member
ship generally, and permitting only
a week for study, the Democratic
members declared there had been in
sufficient time to draft a substitute.
They do not undertake any detailed
discussion of the individual sched
ules in the bill, confining their
twenty-six-page typewritten report
to a poncr-il indictment of the whole
measure and its manner of prepara
tion.
Kmphasis is laid on two things
probable effect of the bill on world
commerce and upon the substitution
of the system of American valuation
on a basis for levying tariff duties.
Pointing to rapidly decreasing
American foreign trade, the report
said: "We need no tariff to cut off
the imports and exports of the
United States.”
The report said the foreign trade
of the United States fell from $1,
188.255,449 last July, to $527,378,
825 in May, 1921.
