Tottcnville House Struck.
rBy Evening News Staff Correspondent.!
TOTTEN VILLE, July 16—The
theory that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place was exploded
.yesterday when the residence of Wil
mot Chapman, at 401 Sleight avenue

3 o’clock the rear of. the residence
was struck. The bolt ripped off a
number of weather boards and after
shattering them in all directions, 1C
entered the bedroom on the second
flood, breaking every window in the
room and doing other damage to
the interior of the place. It then
passed to the bath room where it
broke a window. The bolt then pass
ed out of the house without even set
ting the woodwork on fire.
Mr. Chapman was not at home
but Mrs. Chapman who had left the
house a few minutes before heard
the sound of breaking glass and the
crashing of the wood at the home of
a neighbor, where she had gone,
^he was not aware that her place hao
been struck until three hours after
when she returned home. Howard
Chapman, a son and his two sis
ters, Helen and Eunice, were in the
house at the time. They felt the
force of the shock but suffered no
ill effects from the lightning.
The storm seemed to center around

eral hard claps of thunder accom
panied the lightning flashes. Reports
of no other damage had been re
ceived.

ment of Plants and Structures at

Matawa’i Creek to Start
on July 21
Work of rebuilding the draw bridge
over tho Matawan creek, just north
of tho borough of Koyport, on Route
No. 4 of the State Highway Commis
sion will be started about July 21.
according to Information obtained in
this city today. The contract for the
rtpair of the bridge has been award
'd to F. W. Schwiers, Jr., of New
Vork City, the understanding being
that work be started on tiie rebuild
ing the structure not later than fif
teen days after tiie contract is let,
which makes the starting date about
July 21.
However, there is nothing to keep
tho successful bidder from starting
work before that time, if he is able
to get iiis men. and necessary tools
and machinery at the bridge, prior to
tiie above mentioned date. It is said
| that it will take at least six months
to complete the work. During the
time the work is going bn tiie bridge
will be open to traflic.
In order to keep tho bridge open
to traflic the contractor must build
two other bridges, leading from tlir
roadway onto tho main section of the
draw. This will be done by building
the bridges over the present bridges
leading up to the draw in order to
take the weight from tiie present
building tnc bridges over tho present
bridge piers which must be removed
and rebuilt. These bridges will not
be as wide as the present bridge, and
as one side of tho present bridge is
completed, the temporary bridges
will be moved over to the other side
of the structure and the tra flic
shifted in this manner.
The work required in tho rebuild
ing of the bridge, requires the re
placing of four large concrete piers. I
two on either side of tin* structure,!
which have sunken, allowing the
bridge to sag. Tho present piers
under tiie draw proper will remain
as they are, but will be strengthened
by two new additional piers to be
Placed alongside of them. It is
understood there will bo no need
to close tiie draw to traflic while
those two additional piers are being
built.

Nothing Given Out as to What
is Going on Bhind the
Scenes in London
LONDON, July 16.—What is hap
pening behind the scenes in the con
sultation of the Irish party prelimi
nary to the renewal of the conver
sations between Eamonn de Valera
and Premier Lloyd George 4s
Screened by what Sir James Craig
terms “a rigid silence."
£ir James Craig used this phrase
in explaining to interviewers of the
telief that everything depended on
the way the question was handled.
“The slightest indiscretion or mis
representation” he said, “may easily
cause incalculable harm. What will
best aid the attainments of peace is
for every one concerned to withhold
comment.”
On the deliberations of the Ulster
premier and his colleagues is believed
to rest the immediate hope for the
continuance of the Downing street
conversations, in which it is possible
Sir James Craig will join Monday,
although as such a visit to the prime
minister’s official residence would
merely be for a second personal In
terview with Mr. Lloyd George.

Action Being Taken in
Washington Today
PARIS, July 16:—Tho temporary
committee for the reduction in arm
ament appointed by the League of
Nations decided today that the con
ference on this question to be called
by President Harding would not
conflict in any way with tho league’s
move.
Rene Vivian!, chairman of the
committee, in opening the meeting
declared that the Washington con
ference instead of conflicting with
the commission on disarmament, fit
ted in with just such study. M.
Vivian! devoted considerable time to
discussing President Harding’s plans.
fe argued that the league’s disarm

plishing objects sought by the Wash
ington meeting.
The chairman’s attitude was ap
proved by H. A. L. Fisher. Great
Pritain’s representative, Dr.'* Rivas
Vieunl of Chile and Senator Carlos
Schanger of Italy.
A view, expressed by some of th li.
delegates was that while tT.*
I States was declared conflict! ng^with
the League of Nations, the forth
coming conference in Washington
would find itself obliged to con
sider such questions as the league’s
committee might prepare.
WASHINGTON, July 16.—The at
titude of Japan toward the proposed
disarmament conference, as shown
by her reply to President Harding’s
invitation, will not alter the plans
already in process of development
here, and the formal Invitations will
go forward by cable just as soon as

decided upon, t Vas announced to-*
