KLEIN CASE
ADJOURNED
Hearing on NOn.Support Charge
Is Laid Over at Request
Of Counsel.
DENY MARRIAGE TO WOMAN

When Joseph Klein, of A Cort-
landt street, was arraigned yesterday
afternoon on charge of non-support
made by Mrs. Fannie Klein, through
Overseer of the Poor Cornelius
Lyons, Stephen F. Somogyi, who
represented G.. c. Hommann, attor-
ney for Klein, asked to have the case
adjourned, as Mr.. Hommann was un-
able to be present. 1t was laid over
until Thursday afternoon, February
~.
Joseph e. Stricken, who represents
the city as special counsel, asked
that Klein be put under bonds until
the hearing, and Recorder Pickers-
gill fixed the amount at $500, which
was furnished by friend Of the ac-
cused man.
According to Mrs. Fannie Klein,
she was married in the old country
to Klein and some years later he fed
to America and came to this city,
where he made his home, marrying
and becoming the owner of property.
Friends Of Klein assert that he was
never married to this woman, but
that he knew her in the old country,
and that she recently learned that he
was well-to-do.
When Lawyer Somogyi asked for
a postponement of the case the re-
corder asked whether it would be all
right to allow Klein to go on his own
bond as he was an owner of property,
but Lawyer Stricken said that he un-
derstood that Klein had recently
transferred his property.

phone at the city stables will also be
started.
Commissioner Adair has fitted up
an Office at the city stables, and with
the installation Of a telephone, it will
be an easy matter to locate him. II
he Is not at the Office orders will be
left with the stable foreman, as to his
whereabouts.
The work of putting Brighton ave-
nue. Into shape has been about COM
pleted and the commissioner expects
to shortly tackle other roads and to
get those that are now in poor con-
ditfon into first class shape.
The appropriation for the street de-
partment this year, as told in the
NEWS. is 100000, and as soon as the
money is available, the street COM
missioner will start large force of
local men who are out of positions
at work In his department. The
appropriation was raised above the
amount originally intended, so as to
give many men in this city who are
out OF work some sort of employ
ment The work is to be given to all
possible and, politics, it is declared,
will cut no figure. The suggestion
was made at Monday nights meeting
by Alderman Cannon.

Street Department to Give
Work to Men in This CITY
Who Are Out Of Employment

II the plans of Street Commission
er Adair are carried out by the Board
OF Aldermen, his department will
shortly get rid Of number of old
horses, wagons. and other material
and will be put into first class shape,
all Of which, Mr.. Adair says. can be
done at little cost.
Some of the wagons, said the street
commissioner, are flt for practically
nothing, and others are of the style
which require two men to unload
them. The new wagons, which the
commissioner hopes to get, are up-to-
date and can be emptied by one man
by turning crank. At the present
time 1t Is necessary to hire from local
liverymen wagons and drivers. After
nguring out the matter, the commits
sioner finds that the city could buy
new dump wagon every eighty-six
days by having one less driver hired
from liverymen. Considerable other
old apparatus in the city yard could
also be sold at auction, the commits
sioner believes.
The aldermen, at the last meeting,
decided to purchase a new team of
horses for the department and II Is
expected that they will be bought at
once. The work Of putting tele-

GIRL HIT
BY I RAIN
Stepped From Path Of One in
Front Of Another From the.
Opposite Direction.
ARM AND LEG BROKEN
Victim is Removed to Hospital
Where Efforts Are Begun to
Prevent AmputatiOn.

Miss Dora Miller, about seventeen
years old, Danish girl who has
been in this country only five months,
nearly lost her life yesterday after
noon when she was struck by a
freight train on the Lehigh Valley
railroad near the New Brunswick
avenue crossing.
Miss Miller was removed to the
city hospital, where DR.. J. G.. Wilson
is making a great effort to save her
right arm and left leg, which were
crushed SO badly that they may have
to be amputated.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Miller,
who is employed by the Misses Har-
rfett and Grace Manning, of Man
n1ng's farm, near the Florida Grove
road, as servant, came to this city.
She decided to walk down the Lehigh
Valley tracks to the depot at New
Brunswick avenue. While walking
along the ties, just before she reach
ed the depot, the girl heard a train
approaching from this city. She
stepped off one track out of the way
OF the train, to the opposite track
right in the path of a freight train
pound from Easton, Pa, to this city.
The train from Easton was in
charge of Engineer John r. Shaffer.
and Conductor Joseph Van Sickle,
both of this city. The engine struck
the girl and she was thrown some
distance. Besides internal injuries,
her right arm and left leg were
broken. The train was stopped as
soon as possible and stretcher from
the railroad office was secured and
Miss Miller was taken to the hos
pital, where DR.. Wilson was sum-
moned. After an examination, he
feared that the girl would lose both
her arm and leg; but later on 1t was
thought. that it might be possible to
save both.
Miss Miller has been in this coun-
try only five months and has broth
er living here. She speaks but lit
tie English, but talks fiuently in
Danish and German. Since coming
to America she has been in the en-
ploy Of the Misses Manning.

Fire Extinguishers and Congs
for All Schools Are Ordered
by the Board Of Education

At monthly meeting of the Board
of Education in the high school, last
night, the fact that the local public
schools were without means to fight
fire In case it should break out in any
of the buildings, because of the fact
that they have not fire extinguishers
or hose, was brought out and, after
a discussion, the board decided to
purchase four fire extinguishers for
each school and to have large gongs
in all buildings.
The matter was brought up by
Commissioner Seaman, who said that
he read recently that fire drills were
being held In the schools of this city
but that the signals in the different
buildings were not uniform and, as q
result, when pupil was transferred
from one school to another 1t was
hard task ITO become accustomed to
the new code. Superintendent Shull
said that. hereafter, he would see
that this trouble was done away with
by having the same signals in all
schools. Commissioner Seaman
moved that gongs be placed in every
school building. They are to be put
in the halls and when they are sound
ed they can plainly be heard all over
the building. The cost will be about

yesterday afternoon handed Judge

ments We're alleged to have been COM

ports to the officials they swore that
certain dividends amounting to $780,
600 were not due certain stockholders
Of the company, thereby, it is alleged,
making false report to the depart
ment. The two men have not been
arrested.
The Bankers Life is now out of
business. 1t was reorganized in

the alleged irregularities charged in
the Indictment, and the matter came
to the attention Of the State Insur-
ance Commission and then to the Dis
trict Attorney. Mr. voorhees, is now
practicing law at Elizabeth, N. J.

$84, and 1t Is to come out of the in
cidental account.
President Bradley said that the
school houses lack protection from
fire, and that few extinguishers In
each school would go long way to-
ward checking blaze. The board
decided TO purchase four extinguish-
ers for each school at $12 each. This,
also, is to be from the incidental
account.
Many Repairs Needed.
The board expects to spend consid-
cradle money for repairs this year.
At No. the roof leaks, some locks
are broken, a number of windows
have been smashed; at school No. Z,
the radiators leak and, SO on,
through the different buildings, re-
pairs are necessary.
A bill from Henderson Brothers,
for work at school No. 8, was re-
ceived again last night. Some of the
commissioners thought it time that
the matter was taken up. The work,
1t is declared, has never been finish
ed, and this is the reason the bill was
not paid. The commissioners will
visit the school shortly.
