PENNSYLVANIA
WOULD USE THE
NEWARK SUBWAY
City Engineer Sherrerd Has a
Bill Proposing Limit of Cost
at S2,OOO,O 900.

City Engineer Norris r. Sherrerd
this afternoon presented at the nunic-
ipal Legislative conference a substi-
tute for the Kenny subway bill No. 81
now before the Assembly, which pro-
'yides that Newark may expend not
more than $2,000,00O to build a trolley
subway. The Kenny bill provides for
an expenditure of not more than $1,000
900. After a. full discussion the bill
was approved by the conference.
Speaking for the measure Mr. Sher-
rerd said that the Public Service
ohcials had fatty refused to commit
themselves to use the subway if il
were built, but he had talked with
Frank J.. Shepard. of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and had been assured by him
that the company would be willing ia
meet the city half way on Market
street subway scheme Mr.. Sherrerd
expressed the belief that the Pennsyl-
vania could be induced to use the sub
way If 1t were run from the depot to
the Court House.
An important provision OF the substi-
tute is that the city may rent the sub
ways for period of fifty years, and at
the expiration of that term may lease
for a like period, but may increase the
rental, if 1T so desires. This rental is
not TO be taken in lieu of the franchise
tax or other tax payment to the city.
1t was pointed out that the construc-
ton of the subway would relieve con-
gestion at the Four Corners. Some
doubt was expressed at this statement
of Mr.. Sherrerd's, but he explained by
saying that fully one-quarter of the
people who now board a car between
the Court House and Broad street are
bound for the Pennsylvania railroad.
but would use the subway and relieve
the surface lines.
Comptroller J. Harry Bacheller asked
If the city built the subway could the
Public Service Corporation force the
city to allow it to use the tubes. He
was answered by City Counsel Nugent,
who explained that the trolley company
would have no rights in the subway.

URGES NEW LAWS

ON TUBERCULOSIS
Education Committee Busy in

WARNINGS TO THE PUBLIC
ALONG THE SIDEWALKS
Cards to Be Placed on Broad
Street Poles in Reference
to Splitting.

The education committee of the gem
eral committee of 100 on tuberculosis
will meet at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday in
the office of the chairman, Charles G.
Ellsworth, in the Prudential building,
to further consider the plan and scope
of the work to be done by the general
committee and its sub-committees.
The education committee has already
made good progress In mapping out
plans for the campaign and the dis
tribution of literature on tuberculosis
by the executive committee when the
latter gets into working order.
Though the executive committee
was appointed about three months ago.
/ have not heard of a meeting being

lining existing laws relating to tuber-
culosis and its treatpent, and also any
bills that may be introduced in the
Senate or Assembly before the ses-
sion Is finished. Other States have
enacted laws imposing fines upon per-
sons who expectorate on sidewalks, in
the street, or any public place.
I'm some of the States there are laws
which make it the duty of boards of
health in the cities TO require phy-
sicians TO report promptly every case
of tuberculosis they have and what
precautions they have taken to pre-
vent the spread of the germs of the
disease. The ordinances OF the Newark
Board of Health prohibiting splitting in
public places do not go far enough,
and they are not strictly enforced
The Public Service Corporation has
decided to permit the South Broad
Street Merchants Improvement Asso-
citation to attach cards to electric Night
and power poles along the Broad street
sidewalks requesting that all persons
spit in the cutters instead of on the
pavements. The dust from the streets
and sidewalks blown into the faces OF
Pedestrians may contain disease germs
OF all kinds, It Is explained.

CLAIMED AS SON
|. LOST IN INFANCY
sC0TTIs PUZZLED
Mrs. S. Holman Sure He Is the
Child Stolen in Russia Six
teen Years Ago.

While Mrs. Sarah Holman, OF &c
Broome street, Is confident that Alfred
Scott, of 354 Fairmount avenue, is her
only son, who was taken from her in
Russia sixteen years ago, the young
man has his doubts and will not accept
her as his mother until he secures fur
thcr proof.
Alfred was found deserted on a stoop
in Front street, Newark, when years
old. and when no one appeared at the
Children's Aid Society to claim him he
was sent to the Home of the Fricndless.
He remained there until he was believed
to be. IL years old, when he was taken
to farm at Milestone, The under
standing was that he was to get two
suits of clothes and $50, but as this was
not forthcoming he deserted his foster
parents and travelled to Cuba and other
places, and today is making a success
as a travelling salesman. He is en-
gagged to q young woman in Jersey City,
and While anxious to know his parents
will go slow in taking anything for
granted.
Mrs. Holman, who married a. second
tiiS aitct DcihS difoit tro tiiI,ccn Cnt .
ago in Russia. is ure that Scott, who
was named after an attendant at the
institution at South Orange avenue and
Bergen street, is her son. She says his
features are exactly like those of her
first husband. the first name is the
same and a scar on the right shoulder
is like that of the child taken from
her.
Mrs. holman was visiting a friend
on the first floor of the Fairmount ave-
nue. address Saturday when she told
the story of losing her son. Some one
said that Scott, who lived with a FAM
lily on the top, floor, had been deserted
when years of age and was anxious
to locate his father and mother. Scott
was sent for and Mrs. Holman threw
her .sarms around him and shouted,
tits Alfred! It's my SON.
The young man was not so sure and
remained calm and as Mrs. Holman
could not talk English he said when
was years old talked English in
stead of Hebrew. I'm pretty sure there
is a mistake
Scott is willing to hav. the circum-
stances investigated thoroughly, and
an effort will be made to locate Mrs.
Kolman's divorced husband, Herman
Chainnowitz, who is a member of the
bakers union In New York city.
