BEAT WOMAN
THEN WANTED
HER ARRESTED

Of1cials at city hall were consid-
erably incensed this morning when
a man, who said he was a brother
of Ephraim Cutter, of Woodbridge,
appeared with small woman of
foreign extraction, who was bleeding
from the mouth. He said he want
ed the woman arrested for stealing
wood from his farm.
With the complainant appeared a
burly farmer in his employ, who ad-
mitted punching the diminutive for
eigner on the nose when he detected
her making away with an armful of
kindling wood. He said he has been
watching for her for the past few
weeks and when he caught her this
morning he administered thrash
ing and then placed her in wagon
so as to have her arrested here.
DR.. Charles I. Silk, who was sum
moned to city hall by City Clerk La
Roe at the suggestion Of Collector
OF Revenue White, said the woman
had a hemorrhage. She said she
had been punched and kicked by the
farmer and had then been tied with
a rope and thrown in a wagon.
Several city officials admonished
the men for having struck a woman.
The complainant insisted that she be
locked up, but no warrant could be
secured, Recorder Pickerskill being
out of town. The injured woman
was taken home in an ambulance.

Today, the tugboat c. F. Roe, of
the Bauer Towing Line, is at the
Raritan Dry Docks in this city as the
result of fire ON board near Sc
warren early yesterday morning,
which burned the craft to the waters
edge and caused the crew to abandon
1t. The hulk was towed to the dry
docks shortly after o'clock yes
terday afternoon by the tug Regent,
of the Smith Towing Line, from Tot
tenville, where the charred craft
was moored after the flames were
extinguished earlier in the day.
Captain Tells His Story.
Captain Fitzgerald is at loss to
explain where the fire first took ef-
feet, unless it was directly beneath
the pilot house. He believes the
back connection door of the furnace
flew open allowing flames to escape
from the furnace. The Captain
when seen by NEWS reporter this
morning was standing on the dry
dock viewing the remains of the Ill
fated craft. He said that the first
intimation he had of the blaze was a
yolumne of thick smoke that sud
denly entered the darkened pilot
house.
Aware that something had gone
wrong" said the tugs commander,
Il yelled to the engineer to stop the
engines. The crew was asleep at the
time, and in an effort to awaken
them, started to, make my way aft.
Even as did SO, flames seemed to
shoot from under my very feet, and
1t seemed to me as though the entire
hold of the boat was mass of fire.
Tongues of fire began to shoot
out of the cabin windows, and after
awakening the crew and wrapping
coats about our heads, we brought
out two hoses and attached them to
the sea cock. The fireman and deck
hand secured buckets and threw
water on the blaze.
"On the incoming tide, the tug
drifted towards shore and soon her
nose stuck in a mud fat. Then water
pressure began to grow lighter, and
realized that the sea cock had been
clogged with mud. However, b we
directed the lessening stream until
the hose was burned from it's con-
nection.

was lighted up. Two boys, whom I
afterward learned were camping on
the beach, put off in a row boat to
aid us. Dwatski and Sherman had
jumped into the water and were
swimming toward shore when the
rowboat arrived and took the en-
glneer and me from the tug.
Crosby had his face burned and
his hair singed in attempting to lift
the red hot forward bunker. 1t
seemed that the greatest fire was
under the bunker and We wanted to
run a stream in there. He was the
only man at all hurt"
The tug Is owned by the Bauer
Towing Line of Greenpoint, Long
Island. 1t was built in Athens, New
York, in 1873, and was formerly the
George F. Harding. 1t is ffty-six
feet in length, fourteen feet beam
and has depth of five feet. 1t has
gross tonnage of twenty-seven, and
net tonnage OF thirteen.
This is the first accident of it's
kind in which Captain Fitzgerald
has ever figured. He is forty-eight
years old, has been following the sea
since 1883, and secured his captains s
certificate when he was but twenty
one years of age. Captain Freder-
ick Bauer, owner and manager of
the Bauer Towing Line, Will arrive

SLAUGHTER HOUSE To
LOCATE FURTHER OUT
SALOON MEN
CHANGE THEIR
PLEA To GUILTY
speciaI to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, July 20:-Jo-
seph Mclaughlin, one of the Perth
Amboy saloonkeepers indicted for
sunday selling of liquor, was placed
on trial In court here yesterday af-
ternoon. An attempt was made to
draw jury, but as twenty-five ju-
rors were absent, the case was ad-
1ourned until this morning, and
court officials were instructed by the
court to have the jurors on hand to-
day.
Prior to the resumption Of Nc
Laughlin's case this morning, Paul
Turek and John D. Reardon, two
other Perth Amboy saloonkeepers
charged with Sunday selling,
changed their plea of not guilty to
pleas of guilty. Motions for the re-
traction of the first plea and chang
ing of guilty were made by counsel
for the accused. William A. Spen-
Ger appeared for Turek, and Thorn
as Brown represented Reardon. The
men were placed in custody of their
counsel until Friday, when they will
be sentenced together with Ezra T.
Sweet and probably Dennis Donovan.
When the jury was drawn to hear
Mclaughlin this morning, each side
drew the maximum number of Jurors
and the panel was again exhausted
At last resort the names of tuors
on the case of Theo Antonio and
Petro Simone were placed in the box
and one name was drawn to COM
plete the Mclaughlin jury.
Both sides have various protests
to make against the various men as
their names We're called. Four were
over sixty-five years of age, the max
imum age limit for Jurors John Con-
over, of Perth Amboy, and Ambrose
Green, of Madison, said they were
over sixty-flve and were excused.
Albertus Saunders, said he was fifty
nine years old last April and he was
sworn in. F. s. Applegate, of South
years old June. He was chal-
lepged on account of being so near
the age limit.
Lawyer H. B. Cook entered
formal objection to the procedure of
the case and made motion to have
the indictment quashed. The mo-
tions were denied and the case pro-
ceeded. The following constitute
the jury: David Nedius, of Mill
town; A. C. Scheeves, of South
Brunswick w. T. Redshaw, Of Mad
ison; Eugene Cross, of Perth Am
boy; Arthur Perrine, of Cranbury;
John Weygand, Sr., OF Woodbridge;
Alexander Gillis, of Perth Amboy;
David H. Smith, Of Jamesburg; A.
Craig Voorhees,, of Highland Park;
Albertus Saunders, of New Bruins
wick; John Reid, of East Brunswick,
and Amos Bovine, of Madison.
The same men in the employ of
the prosecutor, and the same detec-
tives Of the Drummond agency who
gathered evidence and testified
against Dennis Donovan, are testify
ing against Mclaughlin today.

cation of A. Wertheim's slaughtef

the State Board of Health read at
last nights meeting of the local
Board of Health, q state inspector
will view Wertheim's place today.
Pure Cones Sold Here.
The local board has made no rigid
investigation into the purity of ice
cream cones sold in this city, but
from the inspection made to date, Ii
appears that all cones sold here are
pure Most of the large dealers, who
in turn supply smaller dealers, have
communicated with wholesalers and
find that the cones they sell are
pure and conform with the pure

Captain Fitzgerald Tells Thrilling
Story Of Fire Which Destroyed

OF his tug. No insurance was car
ried.
Grew Fought The Flames.
With their faces covered with
coats to protect them from the
flames of burning tugboat and the
suffocating smoke of five tons of
soft coal, the four man crew of the
tug fought the blaze early yesterday
morning with two lines of hose, and
after an hours work, were forced to
abandon the boat and leave it stuck

warren. Two of the crew Jumped

boat belonging to two campers. For
almost four hours after the blaze
was first discovered, the burning
hulk drtfted about off Sewaren,
smoking and steaming The crew
were uninjured, save the engineer
whose face was burned and his hair
singed.
Discover Fire After Midnight.
Fire was discovered on the craft
shortly before / o'clock yesterday
morning. The Roe, earlier in the
evening, had towed sister boat to
the Raritan Dry Docks here from
Greenpoint, Long Island, and about
12:45 o'clock, started the return
trip. On board were Captain Robert
Fitzgerald, Engineer Laurence Cros-
by, George Sherman, who served as
cook and deckhand; and John
Dwatski, the fireman. The last two
were asleep in the cabin.
Running in mid-stream off the
shore of Sewaren, the boat was sud
denly enveloped in flames. Captain
Fitzgerald at the wheel in the pilot
house was enveloped in smoke and
after signalling the engineer to stop
the engines, he ran coughing and
choking from the enclosure Awak-
ening the fireman and deckhand, the
captain and engineer secured two
lengths of hose and an attempt was
| made to quench the ever increasing
blaze
On the rising tide, the boat drifted
| in towards shore until her nose stuck
on mud fat Mud clogged the sea
cock through which the hose drew
water, and the crew was compelled
to resort to buckets
By this time the entire superstruc-
ture was a roaring furnace. Dwat-
ski and Sherman jumped overheard
and headed for shore. Campers on
the Port Reading shore perceived the
blazing craft, and put off in row.
boat to render assistance. Captain
Fitzgerald and Engineer Crosby
were taken off, and the two swim
mers were picked up before they
reached land.
Meanwhile, flames continued to
eat away the tug until almost moth

water line. From their position on
shore, the four men who had so re-

the Roe burn to the waterline and

became high enough: smoking,

Between four and five o'clock, the
tug Regent, of the Smith Towing
Line. of Tottenville; with crew of
Captain George Smith, Engineer
Thomas Royal, and Deckhand Har-
ry Woelner ran alongside the
smouldering hulk and extinguished
what fire remained. The sea cock
was closed, the hull siphoned out,
and the charred remains towed to
Tottenville. Late yesterday after
noon, the craft was brought to the
dry docks here, loss of $1,000.
