LOCAL ASSAULT CASE
IN new BRUNSWICK
Special to the EVENING NEWS:


NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 16.-The
attention of the district court was
occupied yesterday with the trial of
the damage suit of Andrew Kramer
against Matthias Winckler, of Perth
Amboy. The litigants were Hungar-
ians and most of the testimony had
to be taken through an interpreter.
Lawyers John A. Coan and Stephen
Somogyi represented the parties. De-
cision was reserved.
The parties participated in a par
ade on Labor day, following which
they visited Annadale. There they
got into a dispute in which Kramer
alleges that he was assaulted. He de-
clared his nose was punched and two
teeth knocked out. He wants $500
damages for the assault. The defense
holds that there was some provoca-
tion and that the plaintiff was as
much to blame If not more than he
was.

About two months ago it was stat
ed in the NEWS that Lawyer Joseph
e. Stricken had party that was go
ing to build a theater in this city at
once. The story attracted much at
tention and as no further informa-
ton was given out, many thought the
news was a hoax.
That this city is to have theater
is now an assured fact, however, and
William J. Counihan, proprietor of
the Plainfield theater, is the man who
is going to build it. Mr.. Counihan
has been negotiating for some time
with Mr.. Stricken in regard to pur-
chasing a suitable site. Mr.. Strick-
er went to work with will, and sue
ceeded in purchasing tract of land
on the westerly side of Madison ave-
nue., about 200 feet from Smith
street. The area of the lot is 75x1OO
feet. The land was formerly part
of the Hallahan estate.

Miss Jensine Hansen, one of the
residents in the Wedeen building al

ond story window to the ground yes
terday, and was severely hurt. Miss
Hansen, who is twenty-eight years
old, was hanging clothes out from {;
rear second story window. In MAX
ing long reach she lost her balance
and fell distance of 25 feet TO
the ground below, landing head firsS

is not yet known whether she was in
jured internally. DR.. W. R. Silver
stein, who was called, ordered her
to bed. Today she was resting more
comfortably at her home, but her
condition is still precarious.
Dr. Silverstein stated this morning
that no bones were broken. Whether
Miss Hansen is injured internally or
not he could not as yet say. He de-
clares the pile of boxes and barrels
saved her, as had she struck the
ground direct, it would probably have

DRYDEN OPENS
HIS CAMPAIGN
Presides at Newark Mass Meet
Ing Which Is Addressed by
Notable Men.

NEWARK, Oct 16-United States
Senator John f. Dryden made his
first public appearance in his cam
paign for reelection at a mass meet
ing at the Krueger Auditorium, New
ark, last night. The occasion was
the formal opening of the Essex
county campaign, and Mr.. Dryden
presided Representative James A.
Tawney, of Minnesota, was the prin-
cipal speaker, and addresses were
made by Senator John Kean, of New
Jersey; ex-senator Thurston, of Ne
braska; Representative r. Wayne
Parker and Henry j. Gottlob, candi-
dates in the seventh and eighth con-
gress districts, and by Walton S. Ho-
warth, mayoralty nominee.
Mr. Dryden's speech was devoted
to the record of the last congress and
the tariff. He declared that there
was no brighter page in American
legislative history than that made in
the last session, when powers of the
constitution that had lain dormant
since it was written were brought in
to use and exercised for the benefit of
the whole people.
New Jerseys position on the issue
of the tariff, Mr.. Dryden said, was on
the side of the protective policy of
the republican party, as the state is
geographically, historically and ira
ditionally wall against any attempt
to tear down the American policy of
protection. The cry for tariff revi-
sion was characterized by the sena-
tor as IAN insidious attack upon the
whole system of protection with the
ultimate purpose of overthrowing the
policy of protection.
Mr.. Howarth, speaking on the
bishops law, declared it to be his in
tention to enforce all laws as they
are written. At the same time, he
said, if elected, he would appoint eX-
else commissioners who would disre-
gard the extremists on both sides of
the liquor question.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 16.--
George S. Silzer, the democratic can
didate for senator, has issued letter
in which he challenges Senator w. H.
G. Jackson to a debate. The letter
of Mr.. Silzer states that he believes
as the Fordyce people claimed that
Jackson is subservient to corporate
interests, and in order that the peo-
pie of the county may know what his
record is upon which he claims to
stand he suggests that they debate
the matter upon the following ques-
ton:
Resolved, That the legislative
record of Senator w. H. G. Jackson
is such as not to warrant the conf
dence of the people of the county of
Middlesex and that by reason of his
actions in the legislature and his sub
servience to corporate and boss con-
troll he should not be trusted further
with the office and he should not bo
returned as the next senator from

BOY ESCAPES
FROM LOOKUP

Patrolman Hanson last night found
Wadda Sitzkowsky, of 125 Mechanic
street, asleep in the rear yard of the
saloon on Smith street, near the Cen
trail railroad station.
The boy Wadda is wayward and
only few months ago was arrested
for stealing some papers from Moore
Brothers, the newsdealers. At the
time Recorder Pickersgill, on account
of the boys age, sent him to New
Brunswick, hoping to have him sent
to some school. The boys parents
however, interfered, and Wadda was
released. He is frequently found on
the streets late at night, and seema
incorrigible. When arraigned before
the recorder this morning, he had lit
tie to say, and could not be induced
to answer any questions. He was
locked up in cell.
Thinking that perhaps his parents
might want to see the boy, Chief
Burke sent Patrolman Meshrow to
125 Mechanic street with orders to
notify the father and mother of their
of their sons plight
Mrs. Sitzlowsky as soon as she was
told of his arrest went to the police
station at once and asked permission
to see her boy. This was granted, but
when the door of the lookup was op-
ened, Wadda was nowhere to be seen.
An examination showed that the lit
tie fellow had crawled out through a
small shaft that ventilates the place.
A boy named Fisher escaped in a
similar way few months ago. Chief
Burke has given orders to the patrol
men To arrest Wadda il he is seen

TO RELIEVE sUNBURN

Beauty doctors are telling remarka-
BILE things about the results of rub
bing the face, neck and arms with
sun or wind. AS economical girls don It
care to waste the fruit, there is an
increase in the eating Of melons. A
maid may keep her complexion in good
shape and at the same time give pleas
ure to her callers. Another expert says
nothing is so good for sun blisters as to
apply slice. of ripe tomato. The juice
must be rubbed thoroly and the vege-
table must be bound in place. This use
of the daily supply Of vegetables for
lotions instead of food may cause re-
.bellion among the men of the. family,
but they should be pacified when they
see the fair skins of the feminine con.
tingent. Another complexion doctor ad:
vises the use of fruit juices as a morn
ing drink instead OF, salts or hotswater.
The woman who sunburns, not in the
pretty tan way which is invariabIyt be.
coming and makes you look fresh and
young and full of life, but in the scarlet
way irresistibly suggestive of the most
brilliantly hued lobster, is the one who
suffers most from the burn. Frequently
her skin even blisters, so sensitive is
the skin that burns red.
When you burn that way, wrinp
cloths out of water as hot as YOU car
bear your hand in, and hold them tc
your face, keeping up the application.
and keeping the water hot-until the
fire seems drawn out Of your face. Dc
the same to your arms and hands.
And, by the way, an ounce Of proven
tion Of even more ills lies in not wear
ing sheer blouses when you are to be
in the sun for any length of time, un
protected by parasol. A sheer blouse
ought never to be donned for sail, fo,
lnstance-the wonder is that they sc
often are!
