Meadows to Capture Wild Man

times last night by employees of troll
ley cars crossing the meadows.
on the first occasion John Fahey, a
motorman on a Turnpike car. saw him
leap into the centre of the tracks from
the high grass of the meadow rear the
trestle which spans the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad
tracks. AS the powerful searchlight
from the car fell upon him the swamp
angel blinked stupidity for a moment
and then leaped back into the tall UNI
cut with a scream. AS he was return
ing from Jersey City Fahey saw the
man again.
Jesse Sarvis. another m~otorman, was
the second man to see the wild man
last night. He saw him near the spot
where Fahey first made him out in the
glare of the searchlight. As on the
previous occasion, the stranger yelled
horribly. and Sarvis stopped his car so
suddenly that several passengers were
thrown from their seats.

extreme n proves a constant handi-

SHOT BY FRIEND
WHO DIDN'T KNOW
GUN WAS LOADED
Lead Bullet from Air Rifle
Lodges in Harrison Mans
Nose and Is Extricated.

An "I-did- NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
friend came very nearly costing a life
in Harrison last night, when Charles
Heeney, As years old, of 500 South
Fourth street, Harrison, was the recip-
lent of a bullet from a rifle in the
hands of a friend.
Heeney was helping an acquaintance
who resides in Seventh street, Harri-
son. to move last night. One of the
other helpers spied the gun, which was
of the air rife variety. Picking it up
he pointed it at Heeney and pulled
the trigger.
With a yell of pain Heeney fell to the
floor. while the "I-didn't-think-it-w was
haded" friend too orror- stricken.
The injured man was hurried to the
office of DR.. A. A. Mulligan, of Harri-
son, who successfully probed for and
extracted the leaden missile from the
mans nose, after which Heeney was
taken home.
Heeney did not give any names of
those concerned.

RAILROAD BOARD
TALKS UTILITIES
"I'm Not a Trust Buster" Whit
ing Tells Arlington Trace
Board.
CONDEMNS PRESENT
METHOD OF REGULATION
Regards Government Ownership
as Observation-Disclosures
Basis of Government Rates.

An open meeting of the Arlington
High School last night and was adj
dressed by Borden d. Whiting, presi-
dent of the State Railroad Commits
dsion, his subject being Public Utili-
ties"
IT am not a trust buster, by any
MEANS" said the commissioner. but
there should certainly be something
Gone whereby our railroads could be
regulated in a different manner than
they are now.
This subject of public utilities is one
that needs serious consideration. Young
politicians have sailed Into 1t bodily
with the intention of wiping out the
railroads, but these fellows have gen.
orally emerged from the fray battered
and bruised, and the railroads were
etill doing business"
Mr.. Whiting told of the way the mat
ter is handled in the other countries
and said that SO far thirty-nine States
had adopted measures whereby the
question could be rightly taken up.
Continuing, Mr.. Whiting said: ut is
not clear hat government ownership
would be best. Handling a few rail-
roads at a time would result in con-
illusion and disaster.
I'VE should prefer to go upon 9
fpasis. Of government rates rather than
government ownership, because the
great properties would remain privately
towned and the commission could COM
fpel the railroads to fulfil and perform
their duties with reasonable facilities
and keep their rates nominal. Govern
ment regulation would preserve the
private owners and guarantee the users
fair service"
