AUTO INSPECTOR HELD
UP THE AUTOMOBILES
Spent Saturday and Sunday Here
Found the Law Violated.

N State Automobile Inspector Daniel
A. Smith, of New Brunswick, was
here Saturday and Sunday holding
up all machines, and examining the
numbers and licenses.
The inspector in conversation with
NEWS reporter, said that he had
just returned from Atlantic City,
where he held up 10000 automobiles,
and found 800 that had no licenses,
also that he was investigating the
case of William Green, of South Am
boy, who was arrested and fined $50
for speeding last week The inspect
or says he has been told that Green
Is an epileptic, and on the night of
his arrest had no license, having bor-
rowed his brothers machine. Mr.
Smith will warn Green's brother not
to allow him to use the car at any
time, or his license will be taken
away. The law reads that no intoxi-
Gated or epileptic person shall run
car, neither shall anyone run a
car without license.

The Hole in the Wall" is a topic
of much discussion in South Amboy

pense TO the borough, only to have
the same thing happen again during
the next heavy rain, which will be
repeated until some changes are made
giving it proper drainage. Another
bad feature is, the water running
down the railroad bed from a long
slope, pours into the passage from
overhead in dozen places between
the tracks, as though SO many hy-
drants had been turned on, and a
wagon or an automobile passing
throughecannot avoid being drenched

Saturdays shower was an object
lesson for many who had to use the
Hole in the Wall on the south side
of the bridge over the river. Rain
came down in torrents, and at one
time the water flowing through the
tunnel was over three feet deep. 1t
washed sand into the place and came
near blocking it up completely.
The real trouble commenced after
the shower, when tourists were re-
turning from Long Branch and AS
bury Park in their automobiles. The
first one trying to make the passage
succeeded in getting a little over half
way through and came to stand
still, fast in the sand. Several at
tempts were made to start the ma
chine, but were unsuccessful, until a
crowd of boys, who had gathered,
pushed it out.
The other machines turned back
and went up Main street over the
tracks, making the run about one

At the ferry the inspector found a
few cars that were being run by
chauffeurs, carrying only drivers
license, being required by law to also
present the owners certificate when
called for. These were given per-
mits to resume their journey by the
inspector, who will look up their
cases, and if they have misrepresent-
ed themselves, their cars will not be
allowed in the state again, until the
necessary papers are secured.
Large crowds of people watched
Mr.. Smith at work and many thought
that he was searching for stolen
machine.
The inspector will also press a
charge against Joseph Simmons, who
run the stolen car of Louis Perlman
from Asbury Park to this city with
out license.
None were arrested for exceeding
the speed limit in this city, although
a few had narrow escapes.
Another Inspector was at Metuchen
doing similar duty all day yesterday.

and Simmons, who admitted stealing
the car, showed fight, but was sub
dued easily.
Bray and Huff were only guides
picked up at Red Bank, and were
sent home yesterday morning, along
with Walter Fletcher. an Asbury
Park policeman, who came here af-
ter Simmons.
The machine was owned by Louis
H. Perlman, and was stolen at 9
O'Clock Saturday night from Kings
garage at Avon, where it is said that
e. A. Scott, the chauffeur, employed
by Mr.. Perlman, came and took the
car, while Simmons says that he stole
it.
Mr.. Perlman brought Joseph Sim
mons, who is a friend of the chauf-
feur, Scott, down from New York on
Saturday afternoon and at South Apl-
boy was piloted the remaining dis
tance by Roy Masterson, of South
Amboy, who says that e. II. Scott,
the machinist, had an argument with
Mr.. Perlman and was discharged
Saturday night. The police think
that Scott took the car from the gar
age and gave it to Simmons
The automobile was Welsh ma
chine, so horse power, and was val
ued at $500
The local police deserve much
credit for the capture, considering
that all the other police in the differ
ent places passed through were noti-
field and had the same chance.
Mr.. Perlman, ersonally, compli-
mented them yesterday, and In COM
pany with the Asbury Park police
man, and the accused, returned in the
machine to Avon, his home.

MRS. YEPSON
BADLY HURT.
Fell on FerybOat Stairs at St.
George and Broke Her
Ankle.

While. coming down the stairs on
one of the municipal ferry boats at
st. George yesterday morning, Mrs.
George Yepson, of "a Kearny ave-
nue., fell .and broke her ankle.
Mrs. fepson, accompanied by her
husband and party of friends, was
on the bottom step when she slipped
and fell. A little girl in front of her
caused her to throw her body to one
side to avoid striking the child, other
wise it is thought that the accident
would have resulted in nothing more
than a fall.
She was removed to the Smith In
firmary at Tompkinsville, where
medical aid was given. Mrs. Yepson
will be at the infimary for the next
ten days at least before she will be
able to be brought home.
Through some mistake the local
police received telephone message
telling them to notify George Yepson
that his wife had broken her leg on
one of the boats.
Recorder Pickersglll went to the
Yepson home, but was refused ad-
mittance by large dog in the front
yard. He finally notified S. II. Far
rington, by which time the mistake
was discovered, word being sent by
Mr.. Mathiasen that Mr.. Yepson was
with his wife.

WOULD CALL
WITNESSES.
Effort Being Made 10 Have Hear
ing in Water Board Land Deal
Matter in Open.

Adrian Lyon, counsel for the plain
tiffs in the action to restrain the
Board of Water Commissions, of this
city. from carrying out the purchase
of the Fountains land at Runyon for
SIS, 500, has given notice that he VIII
make application before Vice Chan-
cellor Henry G. Pitney tomorrow
morning, when the restraining order
granted by the vice chancellor few
weeks ago, is returnable, for permis-
sion to file an amendment. interest
ing developments of surprising
character are contained in the pro-
posed amendment, it is understood.
Should the vice chancellor grant
the application and then grant the
other side permission to make amend
ments, if requested, the matter
would, probably, go over until Sep
tember, after the vice chancellor's S
vacation. 1t is possible, however.
tha neither counsel for the water
board or for the Fountains may re-
quest such permission, in which case
another hearing may be held within
two weeks or SO. Tomorrow counsei
will submit briefs and aflidaVits and
will argue the case.
Wants to Call Witnesses.
Judge Lyon will make an effort to
have the matter heard in open court,
1t is anticipated, and to subpoena
witnesses for a hearing. No witnesses
are to be heard tomorrow.
Judge Lyons reason for desiring
to summon witnesses is that there are
certain people familier with various
phases of the matter who, when ask
ed on the outside what they know
concerning it, reply unsatisfactory
and refuse to diyulge facts which re-
late directly to the issue. They can.
not be persuaded to make affidavits
to be used in the case, and 1t would
therefore help the case greatly to gel
them on the witness stand and draw

Another Special Meeting &c allied
for Tomorrow Night Over
Heating and Furniture.

President e. b. Walker has called
another special meeting of the Board
of Education for tomorrow night to
again discuss the heating and furni-
ture questions over which the board

The questions, which have by this
time become familiar to the people
of the city, concern the awarding of
the contracts for repairs to the heat
ing and sanitary systems in school

Nos 2 and 5. School No. 2 Is being
repaired and No. is being doubled

favor of awarding the heating and
sanitary contract to N. S. Kellogg, of

last meeting, eleven days ago, sug-
4 gested referring the furniture ques-
tion to three local furniture, Messrs.

Policeman Lawrence Long and

morning that one place was found

evidence to make out complaint,
also that one hotel is under suspicion.
Patrolman Meshrow visited SO sa-

Few disorderly characters were on
the streets yesterday, and no arrests
were made, although the Tottenville

NEW BRUNSWICK, July. 23:--
Fred Lang, the convicted murderer
of his niece, Katie Gordon, of Bon
hamtown, was sentenced by Justice
Swayze this morning to be hanged on
the morning of Tuesday, August 2S,
between the hours of s and 10
o'clock.
Before sentencing Lang Justice
Swayze denied the motion of Lang's
counsel for a new trial, saying that
the case had been one for the jury tC
decide andtsthat they had properly
considered 1t.
After sentence had been pro-
nounced, counsel for Lang filed writ
of error, carrying the appeal to the
higher COURT If that be denied, they
will, they assert, carry it to the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
The ground is that the indictment is
irregularS because two of the mem
bers of the grand jury were more
than sixty-five years of age. This, il
is believed, may possibly delay the
hanging for at least a year
The court and the sheriff each

reproduced below. Then addresses

are met here today, under the shade
of these grand old trees, in Gods own
temple, to renew our fraternal ties
and enjoy ourselves in a reasonable
and rational manner. befitting the
day and the order we are proud to
represent. We know that, unlike the
great majority of the organizations
which have outings similar to this,
there will be no disturbances of any
| kind, nothing to mar or cast shad-
ow over the festivities, becarse that
factor which promotes strife and
trouble is happily absent from our
midst. Our minds will be as fresh
and clear at the going home as at the
coming out, and we rejoice in the
fact that this is true, that we have
realized the pernicious and degrad-
/ ing effects of intoxicating liquors,
have forsworn their use now and for
ever, and, as a consequence, we are
/ in full possession of our faculties,
and can at all times take care of our

keeping. For these privileP'
