Another gas explosion at s Fairview

the cause was satisfactorily explained.
The fire today is the last of the

the arrest of Pertswig, even if he does
not prove to be the culprit, will put a
stop to the epidemic.
John Stecker, of &c Fairview avenue,
told the police that he saw Pertzwig
go in and out of the Fairview avenue
house three different times between
4:3O and 8 o'clock this morning. The

Wife Seeks Damages for Loss
of Husband Roasted
on Pole.

The first hearing in Essex county
under the employers liability act.
passed by the last Legislature, was on
call for today in Orphans Court be-
fore Judge William P. Martin, but by
consent of counsel for both sides was
postponed until October 6.
The parties involved are Mrs. Lizzie
Aida Sexton, on behalf of herself and
two minor children, against the New
ark District Telephone Company.
Mrs. Sexton, who lives at 826 Mont
gomery street, sets up that on July 4,
1911, her husband, Floyd Sexton, was
employed by the telephone as
a linenan. She further recites that
while at work on one of the company's
poles at the corner of Mulberry and
Green streets, on the day in question,
his body came in contact with a
charged electric wire in such way that
he suffered burns which caused his
death.
IN his answer on behalf Of the COM
pany, Attorney John j. Hubbel admits
the death of Floyd, but claims he was
well aware of the danger of the work
he was engaged in n had also suf-
Tered for some time from tuberculosis
to such an extent that he was unable
to work daily, but was paid his wage
of $40 a month at all times bv the

the centre. Only four of these can be
explained, and In the remaining cases
there is little doubt of the real cause.
At a quarter to 5 on the morning of
May "a the residents of the neighbor-
the scurrying of fire-engines called to
put out a fire In a vacant moving
picture playhouse at 235 Waverly ave
nue.. The damage was slight, and little
thought was given to the occurrence
at the time, but the cause still remains
a mystery.
Only two days passed, and at almost
the same minute May 26 the second
fire in the Silverman property broke
out. This time the cause was traced
to a lot of rubbish In the hallway. but
how the rubbish got there and Who
set it on fire was not learned.
A week and a day went by and then
on the morning of June 3. at exactly
4:S0 o'clock, there was another fire
alarm. this time coming from the cell
lar Of a grocery store maintained by
Feltman & Karuf, at pa Eighteenth
avenue. The victims escaped with
slight damage. and again the cause
was unknown.
= The fourth fire caused not so much
comment, for it happened at II O'Clock
In the morning, in the cellar of Jacot
Helfand, at 226 Eighteenth avenue
June 20.
The next fire was almost an exac'
repetition of the first three. This wa:
at 1850 o'clock on the morning Of July
II, in the grocery store of David Hind
man, at 46 Fairview ven The lowei
floor was completely Quilted, and Hind
man moved his establishment across
the street. The damage was estimated
at 5000.
Two days later, at 4 p m, there was
another fire at the home of Mrs. Kar
| raisch, OF 81 Fairview avenue, but thi'
is explained by the careless use o
matches by one of the family, setting
a mattress on fire. That same evening
there was a fire in the lumber yard o
Hecht & Kugel. at s07 Eighteenth ave
nue., but this. TOO, is explained by al
o~verheated journal in one of the cut
ting machines.
The next ~incendiary. or APPARENT,
i~ncendiary, fire was on July 26, thi
time at $3.50 in the morning. A mat
tress was discovered burning in tn
cellar of Emanuel Samuels Nome, a
So Fairview avenue. 1t caused a dam
age of $25. and no one can explai
how the mattress caught fire.

Weiss says he was standing at the
head of the sleeping a This would
explain the track of the bullet as
shown in the autopsy yesterday, which
showed thai the missile had entered
the right breast and had passed in a
downward course to the muscles of the
back on the left side, puncturing the
right lung.
he said:
"Oh, he's IA fellow about 20 years old
just the same as me-"
Weiss had said he was 16, although
he looks older.
WAS there any blood IN the man?"
one of the detectives demanded.
"On his chest" was the calm re-
joinder. 81 washed that off"
When asked where he got the water
he said he had walked a short distance
and found a brook.
He stated, too, that there had been
blood "a the head of the dead man.
How did you see it?" he was asked.
Il had one match was the reply.
The book containing the union card of
the International Maehinists' Union,
bearing the name of j. r. Larson, which
was found on the Newark approach of
the Plank road bridge crossing the Pas
sale river a few hours after the murder
was discovered, was at first thought
to belong to the dea- man, but MIR.
Larson was finally located at his home,
1894 Garfield avenue, Jersey City, and
he proved where he had been during
the time Of the crime to the satisfac-
ton of the police. He told the officers
that tho book had evidently dropped
from his pocket while he was crossing
the PLANK road on a wagon the day
previous.
The tag found in the trousers of the
murdered man was also traced, and
it was learned that they had beer
purchased by Louis Hoffman, a waiter
in a Park Row restaurant, and thai
they had been stolen froI his room g
year ago last July. At the time o.
the theft two actors who boarded al
the house were suspected of the theft
Mr.. Hoffman will be brought to thi.
city today to view the remains, as Il
is thought that the dead man may bt
one of his former fellow boarders.

MARKET HURT BY
DEFEAT OF PACT
FOR RECIPROCITY
Railroad Stocks Tumble and
There Is Big Slump in
Steel.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The defeat OF
che Canadian reciprocity contributed to
the decided weakness of the market to-
day. Commission houses report a large
amount of selling for Canadian ac-
count. The railway shares, which had
held comparatively steady during the
previous days of the slump in Steel
stocks, weakened today. The loss was
most extensively among the Northwest
ern roads, which were expected to
reap the greatest benefit from reclproc-
ity. Support was given to the railroad
list. however. TO avert further democrat
ization.
The deluge of selling orders in the
common stock of United States Steel at
the opening of the stock market broke
the price of that security over four
points.

OUSTED ELECTION OFFICER
SEEKS REINSTATEMENT.

Judge Nelson Y. DUNCAN, sitting in
the Essex County Supreme Court, is
wrestling today with a case that
comes under the provisions of the
Geran election law.
The case is before the Supreme Court
on a rule to show cause why the action
of the Monmouth county election board
in displacing George Phase as a MEM
Der of the election board of the Second
district of Keyport should not be set
aside.
Charges preferred against Pease by
r. r. Bracon, of Keyport, were that in
an election at Keyport on April Fl, 1908,
Pease, as clerk Of the board, counted
ballots fraudulently.
Judge William Conover, of Monmouth
county, who appeared for Pease, denies
the truth of the charges.

found.
Another pecuIiarity which suggests 10
the detectives thai the murdered man
was deliberately urder is the TACT
that he was apparently killed In the
fiarlnE light of a mntch he had JUST
struck.
Two packages of cigarettes were
found. only one cigarette had been
taken out. and that was found on the
floor. The tip of 1t was touched with
black, showing that the flame had gone
out Immediately after the matcn
touched 1t. The most probable expla-
nation is that the murder was COM
mitted in the sudden splutter OF light
caused by the striking of the match.
The detectives were forced to regard
with suspicion the story Weiss told
because his many widely divergent
versions of 1t seemed to point to men
tal weakness or positive degeneracy.
The most consistent story told by
him was the confession he made last
night in the presence of Captain Car

Connell, Detective-Sergeant tohs'

Godfrey, of the county prosecutor
staff. -,
