Physical Culture In German Schools.
Every public school In Germany
has a gymnasium, and there are GER
tain hours on certain days when
physical culture Of boys and girls OF
all classes and ages Is gone through"
said Prof. volze, superintendent OF
physical culture In the public schools
of Frankfort, Germany. "The physical
culture instructors are paid by the
eIty. and the halls and apparatus are
also naintained by the various com
munities.
PHYSICAL culture in the public
Schoois in Germany is just as regular
and necessary as arithmetic or gram
ar. The welfare of the nation de-
lends more on a strong and healthy
eit.zenry than upon a highly educated
one: still better, when the two quail
ties cen be combined. and that is the
princ!ple of the German school sys-
tenn.

public schools, and the pupils are COM

SERVICE
HAS REFUSED
TO BUILD LINE

The Public Service Railway Com
pany has finally turned down the
Board of Trades efforts to get q
trolley line between this city and
Roosevelt. Some time ago a COM
mittee of the Board of Trade waited
upon President Thomas N. McCar-
ter, in Newark. and presented the
reasons why such a trolley line
should be built. Mr.. McCarter
promised to take the matter up with
the proper departments. AS moth
ing further was heard from him re-
garding the matter. the secretary Of
the Board of Trade, Albert Leon.
wrote to Mr.. McCarter to ascertain
what had been done. Yesterday he
received the following reply:
Dear Sir:
This company has considered the
projected line connecting Perth Am
boy with Carteret, and for the rea-
sons which indicated to you when
you were here, together with the
subsequent financial conditions
which have developed, we are not
inclined to proceed with the mat
ter.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS N. McCARTER."

New Brunswick, June 22:-Replies
have been made by former County Col
lector II. Raymond Groves and Prosecu-
tor T. B. Booraem to the report Of the
finance committee of the Board of Free
holders upon the investigation Of the
Middlesex county finances. Mr.. Groves
answer deals particularly with the claim
that he was unlawfuly paid 81 1915 for
services in connection with two bond
issues and the prosecutor takes up the
item in the report as to the courts cost
ing the county $4,000 last year and de-
fends the judge and prosecutor.
Mr.. Groves declares that heretofore
the bond issues have been for small
amounts and they were easily disposed
of. After the former board was elected
in 1906 the money market was high and
money was borrowed temporarily at five
per cent for road improvements.
Finally this amount borrowed grew
to be very large and reached $125,000
for which bonds were issued. They were
sold to Kuntze Brothers who afterward
refused to take them without a certif-
cation of some competent bond lawyer.
This would necessitate an expense of
$2,500 so the Board of Freeholdere au
thorized him to perform such service.
He further declares that lack of proper
records to work with made it necessary
for him to do large amount of work
getting the bond issue in shape and he
had to have outside help. When com
pleted the work was examined by law

GROVES REPLIES TO
The FINANCE REPORT

yer W. Edwin Florance who rendered
an opinion as to its legality and was
paid $3.50. He holds the county really
saved money by his doing the work.
The work he contends is not part of the
county collectors duties.
Prosecutor Booraem in his statement
says some people think the judge and
prosecutor are responsible for the $40,
600 expense for administration Of JUS
tice in Middlesex through the courts
A careful analysis Of the report pre-
sented shows that but 81, ,666.46 had
been expended by the prosecutor and he
declares that large part of this was
not due to the ordinary administration
of, the prosecutor g Office In this con-
nection he points out that 81 900 was
spent for detectives and deputies at the
polls last year on election day placed
there by the democratic sheriff and re-
publican prosecutor, and various MUIR
der cases led to other big items of
expense The items for salaries and tax
bills were fixed by law.
"Of course" says the Prosecutor,
]" the expenses Of the court have ten
dency to increase with the increase of
the population and it does not seem to
me, in comparison with the other coun-
ties Of the State that the amount ex-
pended in 1909, in actual detection and
punishment of crime is excessive. The
probabilities are that as the law is more
strictly enforced and the offenders
brought to justice even at considerable
expense, crime decreases and the expen-
ses will also decrease -

FATAL AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
NEAR WOODBRIDGE ON P. &R.
Automobile Hit By Train at KeIIy's
Crossing and Two Men Are Kill
ed Machine Is Smashed.

Two men were killed when an au-
tomobile was hit by an engine on the
Port Reading railroad at Kelly's
crossing about mile out of Wood
bridge, at 1890 o'clock this morn
ing. From articles found on the
bodies of the men it is believed they
were Thomas Gilfeather, of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, and A. Morris, a chauf-
feur, of 1913 Broadway, New York.
The automobile was coming to-
ward Perth Amboy from the direc-
tion of Railway. The sight of the
track is obscured on the approach
from that direction. The engine was
running light and as 1t approached
the engineer blew his whistle. 1t is
thought the chauffeur became con-
fused and stopped his machine with
the front wheels on the track. The
engine hit the automobile and threw
the two men who were riding on the
front seat, about 100 feet. Morris
was killed outright. Gilfeather
was caught under the machine and
was burned to death as the wrecked
car took fire at once.
In the rear seat were two men be-
lieved to be tramps, who were being
given a ride. They saw the engine
and jumped. Without waiting to
see what happened, they ran down
the road toward Woodbridge. They
were stopped some distance away,
but said 1t was only an automobile
accident, and then they ran on and
have not been seen since.
The engine, travelling at a good
rate of sDeed. hit the fore part OF
the machine squarely, sending it fly
ing down the left side of the track
In many pieces. Morris, who was In
his shirt sleeves and had drivers
gloves on, landed under the engine

MRS. KEASBEY
is CALLED BY
DEATH TODAY

Mrs. Sarah Keasbey, of 213 High
street, died suddenly early this morn
ing at her home. Mrs. Keasbey, who
is the widow of Edward Keasbey is sur
vived by two children, a son and a
daughter. They are Miss Laura Steele
and Vernon Steele, of this city. Ar
rangements for the funeral which will
be held on Thursday are being made.
It is understood that Mrs. Keasbey
succumbed to what is known as heat
apoplexy. She sat last night, it is said,
until $3.50 'clock on the porch of her
home, being apparently in good health.
About IL O'Clock it is reported she
began to complain and a physician was
sent for. An examination, it is declared
showed her heart to be all right, but la
ter she began to sink until the end
occurred early this morning.
At the house the relatives refused
to discuss the matter.

of the auto, about hundred feet
away. Gilfeather is believed to have
been pinned under the tonneau and
framework of the machine, which
caught fire Immediately after the ac-
cident. He is believed to have died
from burns.
The wrecked automobile was a big
sixty horsepower Thomas touring
car. carrying a big red tonneau. 1t
is thought the gasolene tank ex-
ploded and set the rear part of it on
fire. The man believed to be Nor
ris, the driver, had his head crushed
and his arms mangled. He carried
a New York drivers license, num-
bered 8,848. Coroner Garretson
permitted his body to be removed to
Benjamin brakes mortuary estab-
lishment in Woodbridge, and that of
Gflfeather to r. A. Hirner's morgue.
Rumor that a woman was in the
machine is denied by Mr.. Garretson
and others who have investigated. A
woman near the scene of the acct
dent saw the machine speeding to-
wards Woodbridge Just prior to the
time 1t was struck, and she thought
she saw a woman's hat on a person
in the rear seat.
Engine No. 220, P. g. r., in charge
of Engineer A. e. Barnes, is believed
to have been travelling fast at the
time of the accident, for 1t struck
the machine with terrible impact.
Alexander Conquest, with assist
ants from the Packer House garage,
were ON the scene short time after
the accident to clear up the debris.
They assisted in removing the bodies
from under parts of the machine.
Thomas Gilfeather is believed to
have been salesman for lubricat-
ing oil company.

AVENUE
MAY BE PAVED
WITH GRAVEL
Street Committee of Council
and FreehoIdsrs Inspect
Road Yesterday.
TO CONFER WITH STATE
ROAD COMMISSIONER

Following an inspection of Brace
avenue yesterday afternoon by the
Board of Freeholders, accompanied
by Aldermen Lawrence G. Dalton
and f. A. Seaman, of the committee
on streets and sewers; Alderman-at-
Large William d. Voorhees, and
Mayor Bollschweiler, 1t is probable
that the thoroughfare will be turned
over to the county and will be grad
cd and graveled before next sum-
mer. In three automobiles the party
made their way through Brace ave-
nue., although the road was in such
poor shape that in covering the half
mile or so two of the cars had to be
stopped because of punctured tires.
The freeholders promised to confer
on the matter with State Commits
sioner of Roads Gilkyson.
1t was the original intention of
the street committee to take the
freehoiders over Amboy avenue as
well as Brace avenue and point out
the necessity of repairs to the former
street, but the statement of Free
holder Alfred T. Kerr, of South Am
boy, that he had already appointed
man to repair the highway made
the trip unnecessary. Mr.. Kerr will,
however, visit Amboy avenue some
time in the near future for the pur-
pose of securing an estimate on the
amount of repairing needed, and at
the same time he will inspect upper
State street, just south of Maurer.
The freeholders seemed inclined
to adopt the suggestion made by the
aldermen that the county take over
Brace avenue and convert it into a
county road. The thoroughfare con-
meets Amboy avenue with the old
toll gate road which leads to Wood
bridge, and II macadamized or grav-
eled would be much used as a short
route to Woodbridge. Before the
freeholders can gravel Brace avenue,
however, the section of the old toll
gate road extending from Brace ave-
nue. to New Brunswick avenue, a dis
tance of about ESQ yards, will have
to be paved. Restrictions in the reg
ulations of the freeholders prevent
them from converting into a county
road any highway that does not con-
meet two macadamized thorough
fares.
Providing the road is made a
OOuHsy FOdu, anu STdVeleu, LHo CITY
or property-owners of Brace avenue
will be assessed only ten per cent. of
the cost. One-third of the entire
cost will be paid by the state, and
part of the balance will be shoulder
ed by the county. Two ways are
open to secure the ten per cent. as
sessment. The freeholders may
either assess the city for the sum, or
the property-owners may be forced
to pay the amount. To macadamize
or gravel the thoroughfare, however,
the consent Of the majority of prop
erty-owners on the street must be
secured.
In graveling the road, If such is
done, the freeholders will have
moved small culvert bridging
sewer. The culvert will be made
twenty feet wider Action will be
taken on the matter at the next
meeting of the Board of Freeholders.
1t will be submitted to Col. Gilkyson
and on his advice hinges the ques-
tion as to whether or not the city
will be compelled to pay the entire
cost of paving Brace avenue. 1t was
at first suggested that the road be
but the final decision
was reached on gravel.

TO TEST THE
LEGALITY OF
HEALTH CODE
Executor of HaIlahan Estate
Threatens to Carry Matter
to Supreme Court.
NUISANCE CASES BEFORE
BOARD OF HEALTH

According to communication
received and read at a regular meet
ing of the Board of Health, last
night, j. ]. Nash. executor of the
estate of Daniel Hallahan, is going
to test the law laid down by the
city's sanitary code. Mr.. Nash
threatens to bring the matter before
the supreme court on certiorari. He
maintains that the board has no
right to enforce the city's sanitary
code to the extent OF compelling
property-owners to put In certain
sanitary fixtures.
There are a number of nuisances
on the estate in question, all of
which have been termed detriment
to health. The estate is at present
In litigation over the age of heirs.
In order to shorten matters, 1t is
probable that the house will be
branded uninhabitable until the re-
quired improvements are made. All
papers in the case were returned to
the sanitation committee for refer
ence to City Attorney Hommann for
prosecution.
The board last night received a
communication from the State Board
of Health stating that, under a new
law recently passed, slaughter
houses will in the future be licensed
by the state board. The local board
is opposed to such action. 1t wants
to control the slaughtering traffic in
this city. The document was re-
ferred to a committee of the whole
to ascertain it's true Interpretation.
1t Is likely that licenses Will only be
granted by the state board upon
sanction of the local board.
Commissioner Kreielsheimer told
of tour of inspection a few days
ago in which he learned that condi-
tions in some parts of the city were
far from the standard. The matter
was referred to the deputy inspec-
tors. e. Ricci was given an exten-
sion of time to abate nuisance har-
bored in State street, near Broad.
Samuel Carlton was granted per-
mission to keep COW at SS Buck
ingham avenue. Samuel Mandel was
granted a milk license. The applica-
tions of M. Radgazk, OF 697 State
street; and Mike Pusko, of 1874
Lynde street, were referred back to
the milk and food supply committee
because the applicants failed to ap-
pear. Milk licenses were granted to
e. Gutowski, Victor Benish and Mrs.
]. B. Miller. The application of
Martin Hansen was referred back to
the milk and food supply committee
for further inspection. Two BARRIERS
licenses were granted.
Chairman Hughes, of the commit
tee on vital statistics, reported as
follows for April: Number of mar
riages, "a; births, 81; still births, Q;
deaths, 81. Deaths, traceable by the
board through various diseases,
were as follows: One of scarlet
fever, one of Group, one of diphthe-
ria and five of tuberculosis in vari-
Gus forms.

County. Board of Taxation will start
on another tour of observation north
of the Raritan river They plan to

tions at the various large plants
hereabouts.
The board will start next Wednes-
day morning for Woodbridge Town
ship, where there are number Of
