LULU WAS D1scHARGED.s

1t was several weeks ago that Lulu
was found lying in Commerc!,l street.
clothed in dress of atmosphere prin-
cipally. Even the policemen kept
their heads turned as they escorted
her to the care OF the police matron.
The best the matron could do for
Lulu was to enlist the sympathy of u
psisoaer atfiuent in the possession.tpf
two pairs of overalls. and another who
was willing to donate his only shirt, .
Since tf,en Lulu has been forced to
remain IN Jail waiting for a dress and
unable to appear in court until 1t was
secured. As the court doesn't want
to see Lulu as a male inpersonator.
she cant be held In jai. without a
charge against her. so it is the streets
for Lulu and her bizarre garb.

BY Some Fortunate Mishap Pas
senger Cars UncoupIe
Before Collision.
THREE ENG lNEs PILED IN HEAP
Serious Wreck Averted Only by AIys-
terlous Accident Which Removed
y Coaches from Train.
Especial to the "News.")

+
Provo, Aug. 19-Fate in some illys-a
terlous way stepped In this morning
and prevented what undoubtedly would
have been one of the worst wrecks in.
the history of the mountain railroads
of Utah. AS It is, Conductor Straub Of
Il west bound Rio Grande freight is
slightly injured, but, aside from the to-
tai destruction OF three engines, this is,
the only serious result of the collision.
n East bound passenger train No. g.,
pulled by two locomotives and pushed
by another, was struggling UP the stiff
grade east of Tucker. this morning and
was nearing q siding where d west
bound freight coming down grade was
Ito pass it, The freight, however, was
mot in sight OF the passenger crew and
the passenger train passed the siding.
The freight train was making all sp led
for the siding and suddenly the crew
sighted the passenger but a short dis
&tance5 away. There was no time to stop
and the collision which threatened could
by no means be ayerted.
CARS BREAK. LOOSE.
Suddenly, and without warning, the
passenger cars uncoupled and pushed
the engine at the rear of the train,
down the grade, leaving. the crews Of
the two locomotives at the head to
face the impact. With all its cars
gone, the passenger train soon was out
of danger and when the freight train
crashed into the passenger train, all
that was left for it to hit were the
two engines that had beengpullng it up
the grade. No one has been found who
can explain the cause of the uncoupline
of the passenger cars, but it is said that
evidently the weight Of the train pulled
it away from the engines. The engine
at the rear of the train prevented
further complications by continuing to
push the train ahead, but by the time
1t reached the scene of the collision,
all danger was passed.
The three engines now lie in heap
of twisted steel,sa junk heap and Moth
ing more. All the engine crews
jumped. Conductor Straub Of the
freight train was thrown from his
train and slightly Injured. All. others
escaped unhurt. The foremost cars of
the freight were somewhat damaged
and some freight was strewn about the
ground, but no serious consequences
resulted from the wreck other than
those mentioned. s

SUGGESTIONS FOR
CENSUS ENUMERATORS

Franklin Dye, secretary of the State
the Department of Commerce and Labor
at Washington the news that the gen
eral instructions to supervisors of the
census of next year have been issued by
United States Census Director Durand
They embrace the scope of the census,
duties of the supervisors, formation of
districts, appointment of enumerators.
employment of interpreters, compensa
tion and allowances Of supervisors, pen
alties for nom performance of duties, and
conclude with personal paragraph in
tended to promote prompt and whole
hearted cooperation.
The instructions point out that there
is nothing in the census act making
women or persons under q years of age
ineligible for appointment as enumerat
ors. 1t is stated that a considerable
number of women were employed in both
the eleventh and twelfth censuses. 1t is
suggested that it is undesirable to en-
ploy enumerators who are too immature,
either in experience or appearance. The
supervisors are cautioned to exercise
their Judgment in each individual case.
1t is suggested, as they are likely to
be good enumerators, that the supervis-
ors employ crop reporters of the United
Department Of Agriculture; officers and
leading workers in farmers organiza-
tions, live stock associations, co-opera
tive creameries, ETC.; progressive farm
ers and their sons and daughters, and
especially young men and women who
have attended agricultural colleges or
agricultural experiment stations; physi-
clans, former enumerators, school teach
ers, college and high school students, per
sons who have passed federal, state or
municipal civil service examinations for
clerical positions or for mail-carriers.

particularly town and village clerks and
recorders

FAvORS THE ADJUSTMENT
OF BOARD OF FREEHOLDERS

County collector Levi G. Albertson
has been quoted in Atlantic City pape.s
as opposed to the retention in office of
the Board of Chosen Freeholders. He
said:
Il formerly held different opinion,
but have changed my mind. I now think
it would be good thing for the county
if it took advantage of the law under
which some of the northern counties are
already working and reduced the board.
In this county, having over 10000 in
habitants, we wonld have five members.
The transaction of business would be ex-
pedited for after all the work usually
devolves on a few"
Mr.. 1Albertson is o fthe opinion that
five men under proper salaries and re
quired to devote their entire attention
to county affairs could accomplish more
than 26 men who occasionally meet
The reduction Of the Board could be
effected only by the filing at the County
Clerks office of a petition signed by five
per cent. of the voting population of tbe
county The election of members of the
New Board would differ from that of the
present body. in that instead of each
district electing a representative the five
freehoiders would be voted for by the
whole county.
Next year there will be p members to
elect to the Board of Freeholders. The
four new members who, take their seats
on January lst will hold over until l9ll.
They are: Charles Hart, of Margate
City, who has served on the Board be-
fore and who now succeeds John Gertzen;
Joseph Cimini. of Minatola; Cyrus Os-
good, of Hammonton. who succeeds him
self, and John Carver, of Elwood, mem
ber of the County Board of Registry and
Elections.
