out.
Won Krebs was traced to New York.
Last night he was found at a place
in Eigh ty-eighth street, where he
was employed as butler by Mr.
Levy, a wholesale fruit dealer. He
was located by the Jersey detective
and then placed under arrest with
the assistance of New York officer
When located by Detective Peltier
the lunatic told the sleuth he had
shot four men while making his es-
cape and would have shot him too
had he been on the scene. This and
his actions about the Levy household
denoted that his mind was still af-
feeted. The Levy family had noticed
that he acted rather queer at times.

MEN WANT
PLACARDS
Matter of Quarantine E
Contagion Before the
Board of Trade.
ON RECORD IN FAVOR
OF PRESENT SYSTEM
Members Tell of Their Ex-
psriences EIsewhere--Uss
For an Isolation Hospital.

The Board of Trade. representing
the sentiment of the business men Of
the city, went on record at its meet
ing last night as unanimously in
favor of placarding houses in cases
of contagious diseases. The matter
was brought up by motion of v. P.
Christofferson that the board en-
dorse the action of the Board of
Health in using the placard system
OF quarantine. A lengthy discussion
followed which might have been
helpful to the members of the Board
of Health, then in session across the
hall in the same building, had they
been present
Mr.. Rtddlestorffer Speaks.
Sidney Riddlestorffer said he was
glad the matter had been brought up
as he thought the merchants should
give 1t serious consideration. He
said that before he had the pleasure
of living in Perth Amboy he was a
resident Of Morristown, where every
house was placarded promptly in
cases of contagion, whether it be the
home of poor or rich man. He said
he was heartily in favor of the sys-
tenn and believed 1t was for the best
interest of the community as a whole,
Mr. Rfddlestorffer declared, how
ever, that there was no question that
In instances where a business man
lived in the rear or over his store, to
place placard on the door would be
a great injury to him. He said hs
thought that in such cases there
should be an isolation hospital where
the sick one could be taken and thus
prevent the store being quarantined.
This, Mr.. Riddlestorffer held, was
the real need of an isolation hospital,
using the placards In every case
where case of contagion is kept in
the home. Speaking personally, Mr..
said he would be glad
to have a placard on his house If any
of his family were stricken, if for no
other reason than to warn his friends
who might otherwise expose them
selves to the danger.
Personal Experience.

Mr.. Riddlestorffer said He spoke
from personal experience He well
coined the placard if for no ether
reason than to warn his friends. He

SCHOOL BOARD
is DIVIDED ON
LESSER HOURS
Petition to Decrease Length
of Sessions Is Discussed
at Length.
REFERRED TO THE
COMMITTEE ON RULES
Commissioners Meet For
First Time in New Gram
mar School.

Several important matters came
up for discussion at a meeting of the
Board Of Education last night,
among them being a petition signed
by some of the students of the high
school, their parents and teachers,
asking that after April /, the school
day at the high school be condensed
Into one session, lasting four hours.
After the reading of the petition
by the clerk, Commissioner Gridley
offered motion that the petition be
turned over to Superintendent Shull,
subject to his approval. President
sheehy said the matter should not
be disposed of so hastily, as there
had already been some comment rel
etive to the proposed shortening, of
hours. He said that the matter
should be looked into before any def
mite disposal was made.
Superintendent Shull said there
were a number of schools In the
state where the students attended
only from to O'Clock In the morn
ing, and in each case, the amount Of
work executed was as great, as In the
schools where the morning and af-
ternoon sessions were In vogue.
Several of the board members ia
vored granting the petition, and a
humber were opposed to It. The for
mer said that the amount OF home
work given to the pupils often made
1t necessary for them to begin direct
ly after reaching home In the after
noon, and to continue late into the
night, leaving them no time for rec
reation. With the one session plan
in operation, the students would be
given ample time for outdoor exer-
their home studies. Those who were
their home tsudies. Those who were
In favor OF turning down the petition
said that 1t was largely signed by
students In the high school whose
work was entirely unsatisfactory, and
had affixed their signatures merely
for the sake of having the after
moons for enjoyment. Another con-
tention was that while the petition
purported to be signed not only by
the students but also by the parents
and teachers, very few parents
names could be found, and none OF
the teachers signatures could be To-
Gated. No conclusion could be

MACADAM is
THING OF PAST
Freeholders Will Probably
End Their Tour of In
spection Tonight.
MUCH WORK NEEDED

The Board Of Freeholders are to-
day touring the Piscataway section
of the county in their tour of inspec-
tion of the county roads and bridges.
Besides the freeholders in the party
are County Engineer Frederick
Simons and Road Supervisor DeHart.
The inspection has demonstrated
that ordinary gravel and macadam
roads are thing of the past.
A portion of the Aqueduct and
Plainsboro road, inspected Monday,
was found to be in excellent condi.
tion and in comparison with the or.
dinary gravel and macadam roads,
showed conclusively that the old
style material offered very little re-
automobiles and action of the ele-
ments, while the new road was far
better in that respect. The Aqueduet
and Plainsboro road was improved a
year or two ago.
The inspection Monday covered
the southern end of Middlesex couu-
ty. Among the bridges to be repair
ed are the Benefits hill bridge,
Deans mill bridge, Cranbury turn
pike bridge over the Milestone river,
the bridge on the Cranbury Neck
road at the county line and the
bridge on the Hightstown and Free
hold road.
Many roads are to be improved
the coming summer and a number of
bridges are to be overhauled The
Is being made with a view
of ascertaining what roads and
bridges need repairing and in what
sections of the county new roads are
needed.

ment.
Fourth: That the merchants, whose
names shall be advertised on the cir
culars, shall agree to refund the earfare
of any customer upon the purchase to
the amount of $1.00 or over, but shall
not refund this amount, unless the Gus
toner shows the coupon, which is to
be furnished by the railroad or trolley
line, when paying their fare.
Fifth, The committee suggests that
arrangements be made with the thea
ters for special rates, to anyone pre-
senting a coupon, which, it is suggest
ed, shall be published in the circular.

the subject among doctors and the
public was good
A death in Penn street and an
other one in Smith street from conta-
gion not officially reported, caused
Chairman Henderson and members
of the sanitation committee to make
the report that brought about the
present agitation.
President Sibley was of the opin-
ion last night that doctors should run
legitimate business and in so do
ing, should report each case Of con-
tagion according to law A question
arose as to whether or not the pay
ment of twenty-five cents for each
case reported would bring about diff
ferent results. Mr.. Henderson did
not believe in forcing doctors to re-
port cases, for the reason that if they
refused. it would probably be a diff
cult matter to catch and fine them.
