The Warner-Quinlan Asphalt Com
pany’s plant at Linden is threatened
With complete destruction as the re
)ult of a large fire which started at
I o'clock this afternoon when one
tf the huge oil tanks exploded. Ow
tg to the position of the company's

■ Rahway river from Roosevelt It was
^ difficult for any lire fighting appara
tus to make its way to the plant.
A call was sent in for the Roose
velt fire companies but they found it
Impossible to get to the blaze as only
a railroad bridge crosses the Rah
way river at this point. Fire com
panies from Linden. Rahway and
Elizabeth could get to the plant,
however, as they could approach
Irons the north side of the river.
FIRE TAKE 2
According to the Linden police
two distinct explosions were heard
after which dense clouds of smoke
began to rise, steadily growing larger
as the blaze spread to surrounding
talks. It Is estimated that at least
fifteen large storage oil tanks are
located near the blaze and it appear
ed at 2:45 o'clock as though all
were doomed.
The cause of the explosion could
not be learned from any in the vi
cinity of the blaze. None were in
jured as far as the Linden police
could learn. Intense heat was being
thrown off by the fire making it
practically impossible for the plant's
firemen and outside companies to
get near enough to the flames to do
»ny good. '

PROBE DEATH OF BROKER
SHOT BY CARETAKER
NORTHPORT, N. Y„ July 18.—
Official inquiry into the killing of
Henry G. Hemming was renewed to
day at the insistence of Judge H.
Kelly. Ho asserted that Mrs. Helen
Henderson Thorne Hemming had not
given satisfactory answers to ques
tions concerning the event preceding,
the shooting and the suicide of her
estate caretaker, Prank Kberhardt.
Mrs. Hemming revealed that John
G. Hemming, the broker's son, had
barred her from her husband’s
funeral.
That is Opinion at Atlantic
City-Great Fortunes Be
ing Made, But no Pirates
ATLANTIC CITY, July 18—Pirate
yarns or reports of mysterious ships
may be explained by the discovery
of blockade runners that have been
landing valuable cargoes of expen
sive liquors on the New Jersey coast,
in the opinion of revenue agents.
In maritime circles persistent
stories have been told of strange
vessels approaching merchantmen
on the open seas, as though prepared
to attack, and then dashing off into
the darkness without answering code
signals.
What revenue officers believe to
be the explanation of such unusual
actions on the high seas was brought
about through seizure of liquor val
'•'U ** «• Y - i w v ir, II mi II 10 o.l It | llj IlrtVC
been landed along the cove In Wild
wood from a “mystery ship.”
Several days before the liquor
was discovered an unknown steam
era was seen maneuvering just out
side the three mile limit off Wild
wood. Revenue officers were sent
to watch it. The vessel disappear
ed. but not before, officers think, it
had discharged a cargo of whiskey.
Prohibition agents declare they are
confident smuggling is being con
ducted on a tremendous scale. Car
goes worth vast fortunes are be
lieved to have been brought front
foreign countries, transferred to
small boats and cached in unfre
quented spots.
It is thought probable that the
blcckade runners have also trans
ferred their illegal cargoes to vessels
beating authoritative clearance pa
pers. This, officials say, would ac
count for the strange actions of the
"mystery ships.'-1
The explanation is this:
The captain of the liquor laden
vessel is instructed to meet another
vessel bound for the American port
at a given point along the coast,
and transfer his liquor which can
then be landed with a legitimate
cargo. When the runner reaches
the rendezvous she approaches va
rious vessels and failing to get the
proper signals hurries off to pre
vent discovery.

sons-One a Minister
DALLAS, Texas. July 18.—Five in
stances of individuals being tarred
and feathered, or whipped by mask
ed men in widely separated sections
of the south, were reported. One in- ,
eluded a woman victim. The moth- 1
ods in all cases were so similar as to
suggest the existence of a secret so
ciety intended to mete out swift com
munity justice similar to operation
of the Ku Ivlux Klan days.
Besides Richard Johnson, 68 years
old, farmer, who was whipped near
Warrenburg, Mo., the other victims
were Mrs. Beulah Johnson, at liberty
under bond on bigamy charge taken
from a hotel in Tenaha, Texas, by
masked men in automobiles, remov
ed to the country and tar and feath
ers applied.
Her bondsmen withdrew and she
was placed in jail.
The Rev. P. S. Irwin, white arch
deacon of the English Episcopal
church whipped, tarred and feather
ed, near Miami, and warned he would
be lynched if he did not stop preach

whom he had charge in his church

reported to have been wripped near
Timpson. Tex.
In most of the white-capping cases
reported, the assailants wore white

Scott described as “conical-shaped

MIAMI, July 18—Eight masked
men waylaid Rev. Philip S. E. Ir

the work at that church, at the
close of the evening service last
night, carried him into the wood
and whipped him and applied a
coat of tar and feathers. Ho was
placed in a trap and taken to an
automobile and dumped out in the
streets. Irwin, a British subect, told
the police that the men who seized
him told “me I had been preaching
social equality to the negroes and
advocated intermarriage of the
races, and as this was the truth this
doctrine was not tolerated and any
person who preached it is threaten

Caldwell and Raymond Give
Two Opinions to City At
torney Goldberger
SAY MEETING WAS LEGAL
School Laws Do Not Provide
for Manner of Holding
Meeting, they claim.
EXPECT FURTHER ACTION
Board of School Estimate
Looked Upon to Get To
gether Shortly
Two opinions have been received
by City Attorney Leo Goldberger
from the firm of Caldwell and Ray
mond. municipal bond attorney of
New York city, In which they main
tain that the meeting of the Board
of School Estimate held several
weeks ago together with the action
taken at that time in rescinding re
solutions formerly passed by that
body was legal. According to the
bond attorneys, "there is nothing be
fore the Board of Aldermen upon
which action can be taken,” as it is
necessary for the Board of School
Estimate to again meet and author
ize the additional school work.
The Board of Education contends
that the meeting at which the resolu
tions were rescinded was illegal in
that it was called by the mayor with
out the proper authority. The opin
ions now received state that the
school law makes no provision for
the manner of calling and holding
meetings of the Board of School Es
timate and points out that the fact
| that every member, of the board was
present would Indicate that they con
sidered It legal or would not have at
tended.
The opinions follow:
"July 11, 1921.
"Re Certain Proposed School Appro
priations.
"Leo Goldberger, Esq., City Attor
ney, Perth Amboy, N. J.
"Dear Mr. Goldberger:
"We have your letter of July 8,
with the enclosures therein men
tioned, in which our ©pinion is asked
as to the legal status of the two
school appropriations mentioned be
low, as fixed and determined by the
Board ol School Estimate on June
22. 19 21
"It appears that the following are
the facts with respect to these ap
propriations:
"1. At a regular meeting of the
Board of Education of the City of
Perth Amboy, held June 2, 19 21,
separate resolutions were adopted
deciding that it was necessary to
raise money for the following pur
poses and fixing and determining
the amounts necessary therefor as.
follows:
"(a) To erect and furnish a school
building on the block bounded by
Hall avenue, etc., $450,000.
"(b) To enlarge and furnish the
“2. Statements covering “a” and
“b” were accordingly prepared and
deliverel to each member of the
Board of School Estimate, pursuant
to Section 76 of the School Law.
“3. The Board of School Estimate
at a meeting held June 22. 1921.
fixed and determined the amount
necessary for each of the above
purposes in the sum of $4 50,000 and
$80,000, respectively.
“4. Two separate certificates, ac
cordingly, covering each of these ap
propriations. were executed and
signed by all five members of the
Board of School Estimate.
"5. One original of each of these
certificates was left by the secretary
of the Board of Education with the
city clerk, but the certificates so
handed to the city clerk were not
marked by him “Filed” or “Re
ceived,” and on the same day both
certificates were recalled by a mem
ber of the Board of School Estimate.
”6. On June 29, 1921. a notice,
called by the mayor, was served on
each member of the Board of School
Estimate calling a meeting for July
1. 1921, at nine A. M., at the City
Hall.
“7. A meeting of the Board of
School Estimate was accordingly
held on July 1 at the appointed
place and hour, at w'hich every mem
ber of the Board of School Estimate
was present.
”8. At this meeting a resolution
wras passed by the affirmative vote
of three members of the .Board of
School Estimate, as follow's:
“ ‘Resolved. That the action taken
at the meeting of this Board, held on
June 22 1921, with reference to fix
ing the amount of money necessary
for enlarging and furnishing of the
high school and also fixing and furn
ishing of the school building on Hall
avenue, be. and hereby is. revoked.'
“Under this state of facts, it seems
to us quite clear that there is noth
ing before the Board of Aldermen
which may be made the basis of an
appropriation by that body of any
sum or sums whatever for the pur
poses above mentioned. We think
it was competent for the Board of

the Board of Aldermen acted upon
the certificate dated June 22. and de
livered to the City Clerk, as above

Majority and Minority Re
ports Filed in Famous Con
troversy With Daniels
WASHINGTON, July 18:—A dia
metric conflict of views between
Republicans and Democrats as to
justification for Rear Admiral Sims’
charges of misdirection and delay on
the part of the American naval ad
ministration during the early stages
of the war, was shown in minority
and majority reports published by
the senate naval committee’s inves
tigation of the controversy between
Sims and Daniels. Assailed by the
majority for having pursued what it
declared was a "self-defensive, non
aggressive and non-helpful policy"
the naval adminstration under Sec
retary Daniels was upheld in the
minority report as amply vindicated
by the "uniform success of our op
erations" and as deserving the
"hearty commendation of this com
mittee and of the American people."
With the lapse of more than a
year since the conclusion of the
naval sub-committee’s inquiry publi
cation of the report constituted clos
ing chapters in the notorious Sims
Daniels controversy of May, 1020,
precipitated by Rear Admiral Sims’
letter criticising the Daniels war ad
ministration. >

WASHINGTON, July 18.—Th€
most distinguished gathering of
world statesmen ever
American soil will gather in Wash

for the conference to he called by
President Harding to consider limita
tion of armaments.
In addition to representatives of
the six powers directly included in
the conference, special diplomatic
observers will be there from as many
more countries.
Already many suggestions are be
ing heard in official quarters as to
delegates.
For United States, it is understood
no person who had any connection
with the peace negotiations at Ver
sailles will have any major part in .
the Washington conference.
The representatives from each
country are expected to number
either three or tive—probably the
former. Kach mission will be ac
companied by staffs of experts.
The United States delegation, it Is
.stated in high quarters will be bi
partisan or. rather, non-partisan.
However, two of three representa
tives. if that number is decided on,
will be Republicans, or at least three
of five, if the larger number are
chosen.
Hughes ami Hoot on U. S. Delegation
Secretary of State Hughes and
Ellhu Root, former secretary ol
state, are declared certain to b«
named ok the American delegation.
George Wickersham is mentioned as
a possible third Republican, but it ie
more probable if three Republican*
are named the third member will
be Chairman Lodge of the Senate
Foreign Affairs Committee. If Lodge
is given a place it is believed Senator
Hitchcock. ranking Democratic
member of the committee, also will
be named, and perhaps a second
