QUESTION RIGHT TO RUN
CARS ON so. NINETEENTH.
Franchise Does Not Seem to AL
low Use of That Street.

There is reason to believe that the
Public Service Corporation is using
South Nineteenth street for its trolley
tracks without any authorization from
the city. There does not appear to be
any franchise including the right to
lay tracks In this street, and a search
OF the records OF the Board of Works
does not reveal any resolution IN which
permission was ever granted to lay
these tracks,
Chief Engineer Sherrord il trying to
find what authority the company has
Tor using he street in question. but
up to the present time has been unable
to find a record of n permission
ever having been given the trolley
people.
A decision In the matter Is very
urgent at this time, as the company.s
proposed improvements at the South
Orange avenue car barns involve also
some changes in South Nineteenth
street, and If there is no Justification
for the existence OF tracks in the latter
thoroughfare the city would like to
know It.
The matter Will doubtless be threshed
out at the meeting Of the Board OF
Works on Thursday.
Meanwhile the engineering depart
ment is making a close search of the
records, and looking up all resolutions
relative to the laying Of tracks In that
section of the city.

POLICE CONFRONTED BY
MYSTERY IN BOYS DEATH.
Found Dead in Engine Room, Re-
yOIyer at His Side.

Although the police have been In
v~estigating the death of 19-year-old
Frank Schoellner, who was found shot
through the heart and lying beside a
smoking revolver last night, in the en-
CINE room of the factory of Larter
and Sons, where he was an apprentice,
they have been unable to discover any
clue that clears up the mystery that
surrounds the boys death.
County Physician Mckenzie has pro-
nounced young Schoellners death a
clear case Of suicide, but no motive
for his self destruction can be brought
to light.
The youth has been a regular at
tendant at the Sunday bicycle races
at the Velodrome and left his home
yesterday before 8 o'clock informing his
parents he was going to the track. 1t
was four hours later that Waterman
Schueler, Of the Larter factory, with
whom the dead boy had been chatting
only a few moments before while maxi
ing his rounds, heard a shot from the
vicinity of the engine room and hurry
ing down found Schoellner's dead
body.
John schweizer. Of 50s South Orange
avenue. a friend of ~Schoellner's told
the police last night that he and
Schoellner with two young women had
visited a pleasure resort last Thursday
night. 'Schweizer gives it as his opinion
that his dead friend may have quar-
relied with one of the girls, but the
police are scouting the idea that any
ordinary lovers quarrel could have led
the young man to attempt self-destruc-
ton.
