KANE MAY NOT GO TO PRISON.
Young Man Who Broke Into House
Likely to Be Let Off Easily.

1t is probable that the charge of
burglary which has been preferred
against Charles Kane who was cap
tured in the act of entering the home
of Joshua Barrett, 1909 North Quincy
street, last week, will be changed.
Kane is a harmless sort of youth
whose sole fault is that he cannot re-
sist his appetite for liquor and drugs.
He was drunk at the time he entered
the Barrett residence and hardly re-
sponsible for his actions. He will
probably receive a jail sentence in
place of one which would have de-
tanned him at Lansing.

appeared and enveloped the automobile.
The wind blew the flames, which
started under the hood, back toward the
ear and Mr.. Sweet says that, II it had
not been for the glass wind shield which
was up, Mr. Hoagland would have
been severely burned. 1t happened SO
suddenly that Mr.. Sweet and the occu-
pants were for an instant dazed.

The Machine Was EnveIOped in
Flames When Owner Turned Crank
at Foot Of Cutters Hill.
GASOLINE FEED PIPE BROKEN.

When Ezra T. Sweet, proprietor of a
hotelat28 New Brunswick avenue, turned
the starting crank of his thirty horse
power Overland touring car at o clock
last night at the bottom Of Cutter s
hill at Woodbridge, burst Of flame
followed which instantly enveloped the
machine, and placed the occupants, Mrs.
Sweet and Matthias Hoagland, her SON
in-law, in a perilous position.
Mr.. Hoagland's hair and eyebrows
were. singed before he could jump from
the front seat, and Mrs. Sweet, who
was sitting in the back of the car had
her eyebrows singed before Mr.. Sweet
could run to her assistance
The instant the flames appeared Mr..
Sweet ran to the side of the ear, opened
the door and pulled his wife to the road
His quick action saved her from severe
injuries as her clothing had ignited.
The heat was 80 intense that the handle
of the door blistered Mr.. Sweet s hand.
In an effort to put out the Are the
party threw dirt on the burning ma
chine and several men with shovels
ran to their assistance but, before the
flames, were subdued, the car was prac-
tically ruined. Mr. Sweet purchased
the machine a short time ago and val
ued it at 81 ,750. He says 1t was not in
sured and that the damage will exceed
$1,000. The engine and front part of
the car were total loss, but the tires

TAG DAY HERE
ON SATURDAY
School Children Will Hold
You Up for Benefit of
Home for Aged,
FIRST TIME IN THIS CITY

Arrangements are being perfected
FOR tag day for the Home for the
Aged on Saturday. Most of the tag
sing will be done by pupils of the
public schools. The children will
atart shortly before O'Clock Satur-
day morning and remain on duty un-
Jill early in the evening. There will
be three handsome prizes, which
have been donated, for the children
making the largest collections.
Mrs. M. l.. Pierce, chairman of the
committee in charge, assisted by
Mrs. Henry Hulse, announced this
morning that the office adjoining the
EVENING NEWS building on the
south had been engaged as their
headquarters. The building is own
ed by DR.. James s. Stafford and the
prizes for the children will be placed
on exhibition there this afternoon.
The ladies want all of the school
children to assist In the work and
have made arrangements to serve
them with refreshments at the head
quarters, where Mrs. Pierce, Mrs.
Hulse, Mrs. Samuel G. Garretson and
a number of the school teachers will
look after them. Every child is in
vited to help, all day If possible, or
a part at least. Those who are to do
the tagging are requested to be at
the headquarters before O'Clock
Saturday morning If the weather is
clear. If the day is stormy the event
will be postponed until the first clear
Saturday
At Z O'Clock the taggers will start
work and each will have blue band
on his or her arm containing in
black print, Home for the Aged. .
Every one will have a little box and
a supply of tags. AS they place a tag
on a person, the latter drops some
coin into the box, which can only be
opened at headquarters. Those who
have been touched once are exempt.
Everyone on the street will be
stopped and tagged by the children
and they will also go to every house
and, on receiving donation, will
place tag on the door. There are
over Is, GOO tags to be given out and
the ladies In charge hope to raise at
least $1,000. They say that as
1000 was raised in New Brunswick
and $4,000 in Westfield, 1t ought to
be easy to get that much here. All
of the tags were made by friends af
the home and are shaped like
heart. They are blue in color and
have string attached so that they
may be hung easily.
Considerable interest has been
aroused in regard to the day and, as
the cause is good one, it is hardly
believed that anyone tagged will re-
fuse to give something The coIIec-
tors will accept anything from one
cent to 500. The ladies are raising
the money in order to purchase a lot
on which to erect home.
