Postmaster Yepsen Fired At and
Narrowly Escaped With His Life.

An attempt was made to break into
the post Office at Keasbey and only
for the promptness of the postmas-
ter, Frederick Yepson, it is feared
that the thieves would have made a
good haul. W hen the robbers were
discovered and scared away by Mr..
Yepson, they had succeeded in break
ing the lock on the front door and
were forcing it open. One of the
thieves fired shot at Mr.. Yepson
and it just grazed his cheek.
About 2:30 o'clock, Miss Chris
tiana Yepson, daughter of the post
master, was awakened by noises
down stairs, as if some one was try
ing to break door She quickly
awakened her parents. Mr.. Yepson
hurriedly dressed and went down
stairs. Instead of opening the door
from the hall which leads into the
postoifice and general, the postmaster
opened the front door and he could
see one of the robbers at works, try
ing to force open the front door.

Two ThOuSa nd
Seek Refuge In
This Country.
SERVED GAR.
Citizens Of Newark Who Was
Visiting in Russia Drafted
Into the Army.

NEW YORK. March 3.-Fleeing from
their native country TO escape massa-
ere al the hands of government troops.
1000 refugees from Russia arrived In
New York as steerage passengers on
the Hamburg liner PennsyI-
vania. The arrival of these refugees
marked the crest of the wave Of inn
migration from the cars empire which
has been taking place in the last year.
The immigrants, attired in their ma
tive costumes, presented a picturesque
appearance as they lined up at quar-
antine to undergo the required exami-
nation at the hands of the federal au-
thOrities. All of them carried the in
evitable bundle typical of the poorer
class of Russian natives, and the album
dance of baggage indicated that they
had come here to remain permanently
Among the immigrants was Nathan
Spiezel. a merchant of 169 Belmont
avenue. Newark, n. j.. an American
citizen, who said that he had just es-
capped from three months of compul-
sorry service in the Russian army. He
Wollenski. a little town on the border
of Russia and Austria, he was drafted
for service by Cossacks and forced TO
become a soldier
Spiezel came to this country eight
years ago and has citizenship papers.
which he took with him last summer
when he went back to Russia to bring
his mother TO America.
II had hardly been in my mothers
home in Wollenski two days" said
Spiezel aboard the ship, when squad
of Cossacks came to the house and
told me that l was drafted for the
army. I did not show my citizenship
papers, as 1 feared that, like other
American Jews who have returned
home for visit, I would be thrown
into Jail in spite of them. So | went
into the army.
My clothes were taken away from
me, and l was given a uniform. l
served until December, when on q
snowy night while my company was
on the march from WOllenski to Zas-
laf l escaped and made my way back
through the storm to my mothers
house. There a friend got me u

ter spied him, and jumping to his
feet he grabbed a pistol which he had
handy and fired at the postmaster
The aim was not true, as the bullet
did not strike Mr.. Yepson, but grazed
so close TO his cheek that he does not
care to have another experience like
it.
The robber ran down the street
where he was joined by another man
and they both started toward the
woods.
An investigation was made at the
post Office and it was found that the
thieves had succeeded in breaking
the lock and with a little more time
they would have been able to force
an entrance. They left behind them
a clay and iron pick, a cold chisel and
a monkey wrench.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter, Mr.. Yepson said that this was
the fourth time in the fourteen years
that he has been in charge of the
Keasbey postofiice that an attempt
was made to mreak in the place. His
resignation was told of in yesterdays

SUPERVISING
PRINCIPALS.
In Session in New Brunswick
TOday.-High School Education
for Townships.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

Special to the EVENING NE HS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Mar. 3.-The
supervising principals OF township
schools throughout the county are
in session here today. County Super
intendent Willis and City Superin-
tendents Shull and Armstrong, of
Perth Amboy and New Brunswick,
respectively, are present. About
twenty are at the meeting.
The chief topic under discussion
this morning was the providing of
high school facilities for every town
ship. County Superintendent Willis
said that the state has insisted that
townships which have no high schools
should provide for tuition for the
children at high schools in the ad-
jacent towns or cities. They must
also provide transportation free, even
if there should be but one pupil from
the township and ii it should be nee
essary to hire a carriage for that one
pupil. City superintendent Arm
strong said, that the cost for an out
of-town pupil for one year in the
New Brunswick high school is SAT.
Objec ticls were made TO this on the
score that it was too high.

AN AGREEMENT
Builders Object TO Foreign Firms
Coming to This City With
Cheaper Labor to Compete.

At the meeting of the Building
Trades Association in the rooms in
the Dana building, Smith street, last
night, representative of the building
material men were present and the
matter of standing by the local boss
contractors, in regard to outside con
tractors; who has been declared un-
fair, was taken up and an agreement
reached. The matter of the new
wage scale of the different mechanics
Was. also brought up and fully dis
cussed.
For some time the local contractors
and unions have been greatly bother
ed by out of town men who come
here, get jobs TO build houses or
make repairs. They DO it for con-
siderable less than any local boss can
do it for. They get, it is said, any
kind of help and pay them much low
er wages than any member of the
Building Trades Association can do.
The matter has reached such a stage
now that the local bosses have de-
cided to try and put stop to the
evil, so when notices for the meeting,
which was held last night, were sent
out, the material men were asked to
be present as the association felt that
it needed the help of them.
The matter was thoroughly ex-
planned to the building material men
and they were asked by the associa-
ton to help the local bosses. The
matter was talked over at some
length and finally committee, com
posed of representatives of the Build
ing Trades Association and the ma
terial men, was appointed. This COM
mittee will draw up a set of resolu-
tions which will be submitted to the
material men and if they are salts
fed, they Will sign it. The resolu-
tions will then be signed by the boss
builders, and in this way by standing
together, they hope to end the present
evil and drive the unfair contractors
from the city.
The master maSonS reported to the
building trades that they had held a
conference with the journeymen ma
sons and the laborers yesterday af-
ternoon, and had discussed in thor
ough manner the requests of these
men. The master masons had then
notified the masons and laborers that
they had set certain scale, which,
after going over the plans carefully
they had found chat they could offer,
and they hoped that both sides would
come to an agreement.
Although the arbitration board of
the master carpenters met with the
iourneymen carpenters the other af-
ternoon, it is now known that they
did not reach a decision and that an
other meeting, this time of the boss
carpenters and the iourneymen car
penters will be held Monday night
when an effort to reach an agreement
will be made.
At the next meeting of the Build
ing Trades Association, two weeks
from last night, it is expected that
number of things will be settled

lively Time at State and Wash
inglOn Streets Yesterday
Afternoon.

While turning from Washington
street into ~e street, the grocery
wagon of J. II. loft & Sons, of State
street, was struck by a trolley car
late yesterday afternoon. The wag-
on was badly smashed and the shock
so frightened the horse that he got
away from the driver, Arthur Toft,
spilling all of the groceries, includ-
ing barrel Of oflur, out of the wag-
on. The frightened horse did not
stop until he dashed up Oh the side
walk near the OToole homestead, in
State street, where he ran into the
fence, partly demolishing it.
Toft had been delivering groceries
in Washington street, and at o'clock
was on his way to North Amboy.
When he arrived at Washington
street, he was just turning the corner
as trolley car No. 112 came along,
and, from all reports, the motorman
was not ringing his gong, but was
rushing full speed ahead. Toft did
not see the car until it was too late to
prevent smash-up, but he kept his
wits about him and managed to pull
the horse out of the way and by so
doing he saved the animals life.
The trolley car hit the wagon
about in the middle nearly overturn-
ing it. Part of the woodwork was
smashed and the aXles were bent. The
horse was frightened by the collision
and dashed Off. After its wild esca-
pade it was stopped by O'Toole's
