Tilden, Jersey City; deputy grand master, Charles P. Rues, Elisabeth; senior grand warden, Edward M. Seering, Dover; junior gTand warden, William R. Meakle, Paterson: grand secretary, Benjamin F. Wakefield.

Lost Mary itzhenry With Local Colored Family Since Monday. Mary Fitzhenry. the 13- ear-old schoolgirl who walked out of her home, 601 Munroe avenue, Monday afternoon and didn't return was found by city policemen last evening at the D. Gant and George Deiss, and C. F.

Burney, Seek the Berth.5 Friends of Postmaster Charles Burney of Bradley Beach are confident the expectation that Burney will continued in office under the new administration. Their confidence was strengthened by the announcement that President Wilson had selected a Republican for the Princeton office. One reason for the confidence of Mr. Burney's friends Is the split in the ranks of the local Democrats over the postmastership. With David Oant, one of the leaders among the older Democrats of the boro, and Councilman George Deiss, a leader among the younger element, opposing Trenton; deputy grand secretary, Theodore B.

Townley, Newark; grand treasurer, WllllRm F. Burk, Trenton. The Grand lodge voted, to divide the state into 21 Instead of Into 29 districts, as in the past. The officers elected were installed In the afternoon by retiring Grand Master Woodward of Bordentown. The Grand lodge adjourned without raising the question of recognizing the Italian lodge, Newark, which received its charter from Italy.

This question has long worried Masons, hut they paaied It again. The proposition to take the meeting to Asbury Park was voted Only Speakers Favorable to the Minority Report, Are Heard, However. At a largely attended meeting of the Progressive league last night in its rooms in the Trust company building the city water problem was discussed by two speakers, John A. Githens, a former water commissioner, and William A. Berry, member of the Citizens' Water committee.

Both spoke against the proposed issuing of $273,000 in bonds pursuant to the majority report of the Citizens' committee and Dr. J. H. Bryan voiced the feelings of a number of those present when he expressed the regret that the committee had not secured a signer of the majority report to speak and thus secure a full expression of the facts rather than a one sided presentation. Mr.

Gitehns, as before, declared the city has reached the limit of supply in its artesian system. He affirmed his conviction that $55,000 as recommended In the minority report would be sufficient to carry the city over until next fall and that the city should then formulate plans to go at once to Shark river for a permanent supply. "We should have an abundant supply," declared Mr. Githens, "so abundant that we could do away with meters. A direct tax of $1 per 1.000 valuation would he sufficient and we would thus get rid at once of $5,000 clerical hire, in addition to the cost of the meters.

This coming summer we won't have a drop of water for our grass plots unless It is supplied by outside concerns from sources of which we know nothing. With the new wells and a basin we can take care of Asbury Park proper, I mean east of the railroad, this summer. "I asked this committee, of which PROGRESSIVES HEAR WATER PROBLEMS speak on Jury reform in the Second K. chunk Sunday afternoon. Is coming down Saturday afternoon to spend the weekend here.

Mrs. Fielder will accompany him and they will stay at the Coleman house. Sunday afternoon's meeting will be. at 4 o'clock. It is held under the auspices of the Men's club of the Second church.

The governor is not to gie a political talk but an address confined to Jury reform only as he understands it to affect good citizenship. Mayor Bennett is to preside. Rev. I. C.

Cobb, pastor of the church, has sent special invitations to local and county officials of prominence and to the mayors of all the municipalities along the coast from Seabright to Spring Lake. Declare More Expensive Plan Will Not Insure More Water Than Project They Favor. Minority members of the Citizens' Water committee, discussing their op- position to the proposed $275,000 water bond issue, today, declare their principle objection is that the more expensive plan will not In their Judgment Insure a drop more water for the city. The minority members, of the committee do not question the sincerity of the majority members, but they charge that council's appointment of the committee was not In good faith. The term, "rubber-stamp" committee has been used by members of the minority.

The minority members declare their plan is the practicable and the economical one. In the Tintern Manor Water company contract they declare the city safeguarded against a water famine. The additional wells, in operation this summer, will settle, beyond a doubt, aa to whether the future supply of the city, not for 10 years but lor all time, is to be of an artesian source, they say, and the city will be better prepared next fall, after a summer's experience, to outline a future plan of development. This was stated by T. Frank Appleby, whe declared that the new and cleaned wells will increase the artesian supply this summer 40 per cent.

"With the Tintern reserve, we are assured beyond the possibility of a doubt that we shall have all the water we went," he said. "Our bonded indebtedness 1m high and we should not as our people to vote for more money than Is actually necessary to be spent. "Our plant fan be put In good con dilion for Utile expense. Our future supply to be artesian, the statement of Mr. Hat ton that our future supply must be from eurfaee water having, in my opinion, been disproved by the reports of Mr.

Vermeule and Mr. Kum-mel. "We are not ready, now, to determine how much utttpy we need for our future plant. After we have tried this summer with the new and cleaned wells, we can better determine how much money in needed. It will be much cheaper to take the Tintern supply, If necessary, at the price quoted than to issue these bonds.

"I consider that it Is council's work to finance the plan we outline. Council Is going to take care of the Klngsley street extra and I believe the water improvements can be financed on a similar basis." (Continued on page two.) WILL WEDT0NI6HT RKD BANK, April 17. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert F.

BRUSSELS, April 18. With more than 400,000 idle in the national manhood suffrage strike. Socialist leaders boasted today that they would "tie Belgium up tight" before the first of next week. The strike up to date has cost in all its aspects approximately $25,000,000. It is estimated that workmen are losing from $350,000 to $400,000 in wages daily.

The government now admits that at least 400,000 workmen are out, altho all of these men did not sttike volun tarilv. Manv workmen, members of the non-Socialistic union, which did not favor the walkout, were forced out of employment by the shutting down of factories on account of shortage of fuel.

The paeaice was delivered to Freight Agent Shafto at Asbury Park to be shipped to New York. After the Monmouth county district court had given Judgment to Iewis the railroad company brought the present action on the ground that the Judg ment below was improper.

The Fenn sylvanla Railroad company claims that the package was delivered ti the New York Long Branch Railroad company, that the defendant company was not served with any summons and that the Monmouth county district court had no Jurisdiction. On these grounds the defendant company seek to set the Judgment aside. W. C. Winans, Finance Chairman, Explains Financial Standing of Municipality.

In discussion of the proposed city water bond Issue of $275,000, which a majority report of the Citizens' Water committee recommend as Imperative for the assurance of an abundant water supply for the city, reference is sometimes made to ''the city's big floating Indebtedness." Finance Chair man William Winans declares this phase is a misnomer, and that, in effect, the city has no floating debt in the sense that a floating debt is a debt carried over from year to year, payment of which Is unprovided for. In explaining the financial standing of the city today, Mr. Winans began with a statement of the present general method of financing municipalities, which requires councils and other governing bodies to begin a new fiscal year practically without funds, and, to h11 intents nnd purposes, In the dark as to the new year's budget for at least six months. The making of a budget cannot.be undertaken until the board of school estimate has fixed its budget, which made between May 1 and 15. To con duct the city, council borrows money In anticipation of taxes.

April l', this year, the city hsd borrowed at the hanks, $245,000. The 1912 budget was $337,000. On account of the new school bonds, the carrying charges of the new school and the cost of other Improvements the budget this year will be increased. Assuming that the increase brings the expense of conducting the city up to $30,000 per month, we should theoretically have $90,000 borrowed In anticipation of 1913 taxes. There was at this same date, April 1, due from 1912 and prior taxes, all of which will eventually he collected, $105,000.

There was also duq from street, improvement assessments $25,000. Deducting these items alone from the amount borrowed from the banks and we have left only $25,000, To offset this $25,000, the city had advanced the following sums on im provements now under way: Klngsley street Improvements, Oak Bluff improvements, First, Fifth and Summerfield avenues and Locust drive and Bridge street, artesian well construction, total $14 2,000. This shows conclusively that by borrowing $25,000 the city has been able to pay $1 of bills for Improvements, at least one-half of which will be assessed against adjoining property owners when the work Is completed. Tax money and street certificates due are being paid daily ar tne collector's office and funds are constantly being turned over to the city. In the fall, in November usually, 1913 tax money Is payable and usually a big percentage of it la paid before Dec.

20. Notes arc canceled as. the tax money is paid in. The water department has been self sustaining. It Is believed that if a service is provided for the territory now served by the Monmouth Watet company, the revenue will be suffi ciently increased to continue the water department without provision In the tax budget, the profits of the depart ment, as heretofore, paying tor all fixed charges and providing a sinking fund for the retirement of the proposed is sue.

The girl appeared at the Kelm home yesterday afternoon, telling A story about a cruel stepmother who had whipped her. Mrs.

Keim had read the story of Mary's disappearance in The Press and notified the police. The child was returned to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Fitx-henry, by Plainclcthesman Broderick and Policeman Hankinson. Mary's adventures on this littest trip from home were even more interesting than those of her previous wanderings.

Leaving her home a (tar school Monday, she walked around the city until after supper time. Hungry and tired, she found herself away out Springwood avenue, in the section krrown to the police as "the Battleground." She met a little colored girl, Lillian, a grand-daughter of Mrs. Martha Green of 107 Garfield avenue. She told the little colored girl that she had no place to go and was hungry. The other child ran to her grandmother with the story and as the weather was bad and the child looked tired, Mrs.

Green admitted her to the houpe. There Mary stayed until 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. She told Mrs. Green that she had a cruel stepmother who spanked her all the time. She gave her name as Catherine Miner.

Her real mother and father were dead, she said. At 3 o'clock yesterday Mary felt the wanderlust coming again and told Mrs. Green that she intended to leave and would go home. She walked off north on Garfield avenue, About 20 minutes later Mary applied at the Keim house. Her shoes and stockings were wet, rainsoaked from her long walk in Monday evening's downpour and the successive rains of Tuesday and Wednesday.

Mrs. Keim, who had lost a little girl about Mary's age, took her in and gae her a change of footwear. Mary here said she was Catherine Murphy, formerly of Wyoming avenue, Philadelphia, and possessed of a termagant stepmother who spanked and spanked all the time. Finally the stepmother, Mary told Mrs. Kelm.

had chased her out of the house. It was sad, Mrs. Kelm thought, but hurried away to the Springwcod avenue substation where she told Policeman Hankinson that the lost girl told of in The Press had arrived at her house. The officer notified headquarters and with Plainclotln sinan Broderick made the trip to the Kelin home. "Hello, Mary." said Policeman Broderick to the girl.

"Hello." answered Mary. She didn't try any longer to deny who she was and had the pleasure of riding home in a carriage with the policeman a minute later. Mrs. Fitzhenry said this morning that Mary, altho not in school, was the worse for her trip. The for her strange conduct.

Mrs. itzhenry is the natural mother of the child. At the Martha Green biine the stores about Mary in The Press of Tuesday and Wednesday were Mrs. Green asked If the girl rteserio fed was her. Of course not, Maty torn Mrs.

Green, and went on playing with Mrs. Green believed the child and didn't investigate further.
