ACCUSES THE
DOG CATCHER
Woman Says He Had No Right
TO Place HOrSe in the
Pound.
HE DENIES ANY CROOKED WORK

Mrs. Margaret Mabel, Of 35 Wood
bridge road, this morning, entered a
complaint against the dog catcher
for placing her horse in the city
pound yesterday afternoon.
She asserted that the horse was
grazing in q field owned by Mrs.
Meyers, when Somonette came along
and drove it away. She said she had
permission from Mrs. Meyers to keep
the horse in the field and added
that her little girl was watching II
at the time.
A little girl who was with Mrs
Mabel, said that when the dog catch
er took the horse, he told her If she
would go into the house and get 81
he would let her have the horse OF
the sly.
When Semonette appeared a
court few minutes later Sergeant
Dunham questioned him. He saiC
that when he took the horse. 1t wai
on the sidewalk. He denied that hi
had offered to let it go for 81. g
told the little girl to tell her fathe
that he could get the horse later b.
bringing so to the city round" wal

Dancy, who assists Semonette, the
horse was on the sidewalk,

BOY KNOCKED DOWN
WHILE CROSSING STREET
Three-Year-OId Edward Lucas Is
Run Over but Injuries Do Not
Appear Serious.

Edward Lucas, three-and-ahalf-
years old, a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Lucas, of 7S Fayette street,
had narrow escape from serious
injury at Fayette and State streets
about 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The boy, in attempting to cross
State street, was struck by a horse
and wagon driven by Mrs. Valentine
Kishner, of Watson avenue.
From what eye witnesses of the
accident say, the horse struck the
boy with his front hoof, knocking
him down and the wheels of the bug
gy passed over his legs. Mrs. Kish-
ner brought the horse to stop and,
placing the boy in the wagon, drove
to his home, where 1t was found that
he had large lump on the back of
his head and slight abrasion on his
left leg. The boy was dazed when
brought home and was i'll nearly all
night, but he seemed better this
morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kishner both called
at the Lucas home last night to see
the boy and were willing to do any
thing possible for him. 1t was pure
an accident and no one is blamed.

PREPARING HOUSE NUMBERS

City Engineer s. ]. Mason said
yesterday that 1t will be about two
months before the houses and lots
throughout the city can be renumber-
ed. G. Howard Smith and a force of
clerks are preparing a book which,
when finished, will show every block
divided into lots of rs feet each. To
each 25 feet, a number will be allot-
ted and, In this way, Engineer Mason
expects to have uniformity of num-
bers on every street.
G. Howard Smith, who is assisting
the city engineer, says that about
1000 street signs will be necessary.
The signs will be of metal, blue
enameled with a white background.
The letters will be about 81 inches
in height SO that the signs will be
legible for some distance. At the
intersection of streets, two signs will
be placed on a corner house, and
obliQuely across the street two more
similar signs will be placed. Where
there are no houses poles will be
erected for the signs.
The cost of the signs 1t Is believed,
will exceed $1,000.
When all the Data for numbering
the city is complete, notices will be
sent to property-owners instructing
them to place the new figures on
their residence. A suggestion which
Is favored by Engineer Mason and
Alderman-at-Large Voorhees, is that
when the notices are sent out, they
will contain a request that, where
possible, numbers be placed on the
glass panels of front doors.

turned to England in 1S47. He
again came to this country q few
years afterward and he was first IL

BottIers' Amendment to Bishops
Law Declared by the Prosecutors
Association to be Considered Pro-
hibitive-Judges Also at the ses-
sion and Declare the Law Thus In
terpreted viii Be Enforced.

Trenton, June 3:-Probably the
most important consideration yet ac-
corded the Bishops bill and other
excise legislation was given in the
state house yesterday when the Pros
ecutors' Association took official ac-
tion with reference to the enforce
ment of the laws. The recent So
called bottlers' amendment, adopted
by the last legislature, suggested the
discussion. In addition to the pros
ecutors, the members of the associa-
tion include the judges of the county
courts, and several of them were
present.
Under the bottlers' amendment,
the association decided that all sales
of liquors by those holding whole
sale or bottling licenses must be COM
pleted at the place for which the IL
censes are granted, and that where
delivery is part OF the contract of
sale and necessary to its completion,
such delivery Will be In violation of
the law. This determination would
seem to compel the purchasers of
bottled liquors to carry them from
the establishments and will surely
put stop to the vending of beer and

Garry Your Own Beer.
Nearly all the bottling houses de-
liver purchases. They take orders
over the telephone, respond to orders
received In the streets, and not in
frequently reply to knowing mods
and other high signs of the imbib-
ing fraternity. In fact, there are
many cases of beer and other bever-
ages sold regularly to persons who
never, IL ever, indulge their thirst
in public places.
To these the new idea OF the pres
ecutors is likely to work to disad-
vantage. AS customers they rarely
enter the licensed emporiums. Here
tofore this has been an easy matter
but now 1t will be another thing
when the bother learns that he car
no longer recognize the usual sigI
on the windows or doors, and the
customer must carry home his pur-
chases of beer.

POCheck is Removed 10 City Hos
pital But His Injuries
PrOss Fatal.
EMPLOYED THERE OKLY A WEEK
As Immense Mass of Clay and Dirt
Gave Way Foreman Shouted Warm
ing but Pocheck Was Green Hand
and Did Not Comprehend Peril
Survived by Wife in Europe and
Brother Here-Arranging Funeral.

Joseph Pocheck, a resident of
Keasbey and an employe of the Ma
tional Fireproofing Company, died as
a result of internal injuries, sustain
ed in a clay bank near the Keasbey
school house about 4 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon.
The accident occurred as Pocheck
was working with gang of five or
six other laborers for the National
company In one of their clay banks.
About 800 pounds of loose dirt and
clay struck him and he was doubled
up over his shovel as he stopped.
Warning was given by the fore
man but Pocheck, green hand in
the clay bank, evidently did not un-
derstand the warning and he did not
escape in time, as did his fellow
workers. He sustained a dislocated
hip, which was set after he arrived
at the city hospital. 1t was thought
his injuries beyond this were slight,
but his condition grew worse until
death came last night.
The victim had been in this coun-
try but year and a half and had
been employed by the National Fire
proofing company but week. He is
survived by a wife in Europe and a
brother In this city. His body is now
at T. r. Burke's undertaking estab-
lishment and funeral arrangements
are being made by the mans brother.

The betterment, If possible, of the
fire department and the restoration
of entire good feeling among all of
its members Is the keynote of plan
made public by Mayor Bollschweiler
today.
81 want the firemen to get togeth-
er and Jointly select committee OF
five to Investigate the condition OF
the department and find out just
what is needed. want men on the
committee who understand the sy5-
tenn and who are willing to devote
some of their time to the investiga-
tion.
After they have completed their
tour, l want them to make a report
of what is needed to make the de-
partment thoroughly efficient. II an
other steamer is needed, all right;
If 1t is another hook and ladder, well
and good. No matter what is need
ed, will give my assurance that II
will be secured, II they only show
interest in the matter.
For my part the volunteer fire
department can exist for years.
have no desire to break it up, all
wanted to do was to have four OF
five paid men in each house to look
after the city's property. At the
present time it Is not properly cared
for, as a fair examination will show
am in favor of paid chief because
think there should be a head to the
department who is thoroughly ac-
quainted with its workings. Now q
chief is elected every year. He is
not In Office long enough to under
stand every detail of the system, as
Just when he is getting things in the
office.
II have always been in favor of q
partly paid department because
trained men could do more efficient
fires for a pastime. Another reason
why I favored having paid CHIEF
was because then proper discipline
could be established, the same as III
the police department.
Nov, If the volunteer firemer
will only stop this funny business
such as hiring lawyers and goins
around knocking the difficulty car
easily be overcome. First of all lei
| this committee be selected, and ther
when I know what is needed / will
give my hearty cooperation. Former
Chief Mullen, think, would be ar
