exploded with a loud report. Then it
started on its mad career.
Mr.. Baldwin and Thomas Culbert,
of the Water Department, were stand
ing on the rear platform of the car,
Realizing that something was wrong.
the conductor attempted to use the
brake on the rear platform. 1t refused
to work. and then he stationed himself
at the door, holding it to prevent the
passengers from jumping of the car.
There were about a dozen women
among the passengers, who were
panic-stricken, and who would have
jumped off if IL had not been for the
presence of mind of the conductor.
Mr. Baldwin and Mr.. Culbert were
prepared to jump, but decided to stay
on the car. This they did until it col
lided with the coal wagon at Front

PHYSICIANS
WILL PROTEST.
Want More Tests Made at
State Laboratory
SERVICE has BEEN CURTAILED
Work Formerly Done There Has Been
Stopped for Sometime Done
Now at FarnhurSt

Physicians in this city are up in
arms against the action of the officials
az the State Laboratory, in Newark,
who have ourtailed the service. The
laboratory was established a few years
ago the Legislature approprating the
money to establish the institution. The
State purchased the institution and
now pays the salaries OF DR.. Robin and
his assistants.
At the time Il was understood that
the laboratory was TO make all tests
and analyses for doctors In the Stale
free OF cost.
IL was a great benefit to the physi-
clans. as many did not have labora-
tories of their own. Reports of sam
pies submitted often aided them in
treating the patients. The first year
900 specimens were examined The
second year 10 was doubled All tho
work was done by Dr. Robin. The
third year not so much work was done
as during the second. although DR..
Robin had two assistants.
Some time ago doctors who had
been making use OF the laboratory re-
coiyed word that they must not send
certain specimens According TO ono
doctor about two-thirds of the work
has been cut or The doctors for
awhile were at a loss to know what to
do. Finally they saw DR.. Hancker, at
the State Hospital, at Farnhurst and
he agreed to have the tests made at
/ that institution.
AZ a recent meeting Of the State
Board Of Health. n protest was made
against the action of the Newark peO-
pie In cutting down the service. Moth
ing was done. however In speaking
about the matter today a physician
said
'The State appropriated money 70
give us this work. and we should have
the use of the laboratory. If we can
not get our specimens examined, the
intent of the law will not be carried
out and the taxpayers will not get all
due them. The money comes out of
their pockets, and they are the losers
We propose TO hold a meeting to de-
nounce the policy of the state Board
OF Health and II that does not have
the desired effect. we will go before
the Legislature next year"
