Clarence Tuttle, who conducts a
second hand, clothing store at 205
Smith street, has secured the SER
vices OF Lawyer Henry w. Kehoe to
ascertain If thirty-seven shares of
ming stock at 500 per share, which
he has now in his possession are of

GIRL RAN AUTO
into FENCE TO
SAVE 9 LIVES

Willing to risk danger and pos
sibly death rather than run down
two women, Berthina Hansen, eldest
daughter of Martin Hansen, of 839
Elm street, yesterday morning drove
a fiVe-passenger Oakland automo-
bile into the fence at the Staten ISL
and ferry, damaging the car but
luckily escaping injury Seated In
the car at the time of the accident
were Mr.. and Mrs. Hansen, Berth
ina, her two sisters and another wo-
man, all of whom are none the worse
today for their experience.
The accident happened about 9:30
O'Clock. With brakes applied, Miss
Hansen coasted the car down the
hill and was about to turn to her
right into Front street. when two
women, bound for the Owls excur-
sion boat, darted into the path of
the car. But q few feet intervened,
and seeing that retaining her course
would mean striking the women,
Miss Hansen sweryed the machine
into the fence, breaking mud
guard and bending the forward axle.
Who the women were Miss Han
sen was unable to learn. Joseph
Kelly, who arrived on the scene a
few minutes later, took the dam
aged machine to garage.

MERCHANTS HAD RECORD DAY
FOR BUSINESS ON SATURDAY
CRUISE WAS AN
EVENTFUI ONE

A-party Of local people, including
several city officials ana prominent
business men, went On q private ex-
'curslon and fishing trip Saturday af-
ternoon and returned last night.
The trip was made in the big gaso-
line boat H. G. Ellis, belonging to
George Marshall, of Prince Bay, S.
/. In the party were twenty-six
men, all of whom voted approval of
the outing when they landed last
night. The outing was without aex-
ception. one of the finest private
ones that ever went out from this
city. Nothing was lacking that could
have added pleasure to the trip.
There was good variety in amuse-
ments and il anybody became hun
cry or thirsty. 1t was certainly
their own fault.
The event, planned by Mayor
Bollschweiler and Fire Chief T. e.
Anderson, with the assistance of one
or two others, passed off in as ex-
cellent a manner as 1t was possible
Not mishap occurred and all
aboard were imbued with feeling
of happiness and delight
The start was made from the N.
Y. & N. J. Steamboat dock at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
Ellis was driven in the direction OF
Atlantic Highlands. Aboard 1t were
all the good things to eat and drink
that one could desire. There were
eatables of most every kind, served
in various styles, that are too nu-
meFous to mention. The delicacies

DRILLING AT
''Y" IS CAUSE
OF COMPLAINT

Although the dangerous drilling
of cars at the intersection of State
and Smith streets has been practical
ly eliminated, there is, according to
the police, an annoyance and dan
ger as great at the Smith and Wa
ter streets "Y" since cars of the
Jersey Central Traction Company
began operations less than week
ago. No less than four cars at once
occupied the "Y" and tracks lead
ing to State street, the police say,
hindering automobilists and endan-
gering the lives of the numerous pc
destrians who Saturday and yester-
day found their way to and from
the Staten Island ferry house.
Patrolman Durham Saturday af-
ternooH lodged complaint against
the drilling, stating that it was
Just as bad as the State and Smith
streets drilling" Yesterday, he
again referred to the switching in
his report. Four cars, he said, at
one time occupied the switch and
tracks, and one car was compelled
to run backwards to State street to
allow the other besicIes thorough
fare.
Automobiles driven up the hill
from the ferry have been stopped on
the incline to permit trolleys to pass,
and as many of them have engines
not powerful enough to draw the
car up the hill after once losing
headway,. no end of annoyance was
caused.

ITALIAN IS
ARRESTED IN
THE RICE CASE

Special by United Press Wire.
Cleveland, o., Aug. 8:-The find
ing of a burlap bag containing a
number of dead chickens led to the
belief today by the police, that At
torney William L. Rice, who was
murdered Friday, was killed by
chicken thieves. Another theory,
however. is that Rice was killed by
a highwayman, who was frightened
away before he had a chance to rob
the dead man.
G. T. Stuart, brother-in-law, be-
lieves Rice was killed by enemies,
Pasquale Guiliano, a seventeen year
old caddy, recently discharged from
the Euclid Club, where Rice played
golf. Is being held by the police, it
having been reported that he quar-
relied with Rice. The italian denies
that he had trouble with the lawyer
or that he knew anything of the mur-
der until told of it.

BY ELUSIVE LUCY.

And wasn't there crowd out on
Saturday afternoon and night? But
still no one reaped the reward which
sure would do great deal towards
vacation trip. If Perth Amboy
folks don't apprehend me today, I
will have to hold a public reception
some where SO as to get acquainted
little better.
l had my first experience in be-
ing accosted in your city Saturday
night at the corner Of Smith and
Madison avenue, by a lady clad in
a dark skirt and white waist, who
,, was with two friends who were
standing and telling her it was
Lucy and to go up and approach
her. l must compliment her on
what courage she did have, as she
was the only one out of the three
that really did have nerve enough to
come up and accost me.
This lady took hold of my arm
in a manner that would make one
feel as If it was tightened in a vice
or as if I had done something and
was being held for the crime

the salutation which she gave me as
follows: Pardon me-. you are
Elusive Lucy of the EVENING
NEWS, the best home newspaper Of
Perth Amboy.' l at once noticed the
omission of the words, mysterious
and Perth Amboy.' ] also noticed
that she said, the best home news
paper instead of the leading home
newspaper / looked at her and
said, for heavens sake, woman, let
go and learn the salutation correct
ly' 1 could hear her friend saying
as ! walked on, See, I knew that
was not her. when the other re-
splied, oh, she didn't say that she
wasn't Lucy. she only said that l
should go and learn the salutation
correctly
Il was also approached at the cor
ner of High and Smith street in the
afternoon by the big gentleman
wearing the light soft hat, who was
with his friend. These two gentle
men came out of the cafe on this
corner. 1t took me by surprise
when this man put his heavy hand
on my shoulder and / heard the big
fellows voice begin the challenge in
this fashion, Pardon me, you are
the Leading Lucy-please-no-I
mean oh, and he finished by say
ing, oh, can't say the blamed thing
at all, and turned the corner as his
friend laughed. Poor fellow, try
again.
'I walked straight to the Foster
store, which ] entered, of course. /
was accompanied by someone else.
We made several small purchases
and stopped to look at the picture
of myself We left the store and
made our way through the crowd,
which was on the hunt in front OF
this store, and one little fellow
pointed right at me just as I passed
out of the door saying, That is
Lucy, I'll bet; but no one seemed
to pay any attention to him. At
ter this l walked out Smith street
to Hobart street, and returned to
my rooms.
