BOYS NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH BY TRAIN.

Accepting the dare of his companions
to jump aboard a freight train while
in motion, little N~8-year-old Serihno
Christiano, of Valley road, West Or
ange, had a miraculous escape from
death yesterday afternoon when he
missed his footing and managed by a
close margin to avoid rolling beneath
the train. With a number of lads
about his own 6 the boy went to the
Erie railroad freight yards in Main
street and began jumping on and off
freight trains.
A moving freight pulled into the
yard n the boys ran toward It. The
engineer of the train was unable to
see the boys and had just received a
signal to go ahead. Little Christiano
ran after the train, n catching up
to it made a leap to get aboard. He
got hold of an iron rail, but his foot
slipped and he fell to the ground.
His companions ran away, but Po-
liceman George DAILY was attracted by
the boys and went to h yards. where
he found young Christiano sitting in
an unconcerned manner on another
freight car. He was taken to the po-
lice station and given a severe scolding.

s. P. C. A. CASE TO
Be INVESTIGATED
BY POLICE CHIEF
East Orange Official Quizzes

Learning of the arrest OF a driver
by a night Waterman and an alleged
trial held in a small b~ootblack parlor
In Greenwood avenue, the mar being
fined $40 and $3.50 costs, Chief of Police
william H. O'Neill, of East Orange
Immediately started an investigation
and will take the case up with Re
corder Francis A. Mott. jr, and OIL"
GERS of the S. P. c.. A. to determine
whether the trial had been conducted
according to law. 1t was the first time
in the knowledge of the chief thai
Hast Orange had been the setting for
any such proceeding.
According to the information secured
by Chief O'Neill, there was a runaway
accident in the vicinity of Greenwood
avenue on Thursday in which, 1t is
hough one of the horses being driven
TO a wagon by Patrick Kealey, of 2Sd
Second street, this city, was injured by
the team attached to an ice wagon,
which ran away. Ter minutes later
Kealey wa arrested by Frank j. Bar
rett. a deputy sheriff and night watch
man. who was recently fined s15 by
Recorder Mott on q charge of disorder
" d in a restaurant neal the
city line.
The chief says Kealey was taken in
side the bootblack parlor by Barrett,
after he had sent word of h arrest
he made to the office Of the 8. 2. I.
A.. and asked that an agent be sent up
to take charge of the case. Richard
r. Hopwood, a former justice OF the
peace, who vas lately appointed an
agent of the society. was sent out to
handle 1t, and he secured Matthew j.
Treacy, a justice of the peace, at 30
Clinton street, this city. who Is In the
same office with him. They opened
court in the bootblack place, accord
ing to the police. and imposed the hne
and costs on the driver. Barrett re-
ceived eighty cents and Treacy $3.50.
The police also understand that Hop
wood receives a percentage.
Treacy said today he had been called
to try the case. and that he learned
the horse complained of. which was
attached to a team wagon, had a lame
leg. He was told 1t was swollen; and
the driver said it had two broken bones
in the leg. Chief O'Neill was ac7
quainted with this fact and declared
the proceedings may have been legal,
but he had to be shown a reason why
the case was not brought into the
police court. where all other S. P. c.
A.. cases are tried, and he did not in
tend to let the matter rest until he had
learned every point.
Barrett was sent for and he at first
denied getting any money, but later
admitted securing eighty cents for con-
stable fees. Barrett was told of some
points in the law by O'Nelll, and the
chief said he would ascertain whether
he had any authority to make an ar
rest of that nature, Colonel Edward
S. Edwards. for the S. P. C. A., ex-
planned hat Hopwood is a new agent.
If Chief Agent Lewis C. Teed had
been in when Barrett telephoned the
case would have been taken to the
court. Hopwood was told in the flu
ture to bring all his cases to Re; order
Motifs court.

SALARY INCREASE
FOR EAST ORANGE
POLICE DEFERRED
City Council Committee and
Commissioners Agree on
$4,000 Appropriation.

Following a conference last night be-
tween members Of the finance commit
tee of the East Orange City Council
and the Police Board It was agreed to
give the board an appropriation of ap-
p~roximately $4,000 for the year. Sew
eral changes were made to benefit tho
policemen, and the force will be in
| creased by the addition of about four
teen men.
The board asked that a general In
crease be given the officers and patrol
men, but opposition was voiced to CIV
ing the money at present. An arrange
ment was made whereby the men viii;
receive an increase al q later date.
| Members of the board fought hard TO
the last to receive h increase, but
finally consented to the new plan.
Mayor Gregory was present, and be-
lieved the new idea would be a proper
one.
1t was admitted at the meeting that
during the past few weeks there has
been a big Improvement shown, I'M
the men are performing their work in
a meritorious manner. 1t was agreed
that IL this work and general pro-
f1oiency Is continued for several mouths
all will receive the raise in salary. 1t
was believed that once the high stand
ard Is reached 1t will be able to main
tain it.
The men are now on a per diem
basis, but the board believed they
should be placed on an annual basis.
Should a patrolman be injured In the
performance of his duty and be laid UP
he receives but 30 per cent. pay. The
mayor and committee agreed to the
boards plan, and the men will be
placed on a yearly basis, receiving full
| paw now when injured in the perform
ance of duty.
The city will also provide the men
with new pistols. There is no standard
type of pistol used by the patrolmen
and it was deemed best to. have n
pattern for all. The board favored
having the appropriation made large
enough to peremit the city to buy the
guns and give them to the patrolmen
free. This was also acceptable to
Mayor Gregory and the committee.
There are now thirty-six regular pa
trolmen on the force. The men who
have served six years or more receive
SO a day, those who have been on the
force four years receive $2.85, and the
men serving a less period get $3.50.
The chancemen receive 2.75 each day
they work. The sergeants receive but
1925 a day.
Mayor Gregory said today q police
man receiving SO a day and buying his
uniform is not o%verpaid. AfeA-
