NO PROTECTION
DURING NIGHT
P. R. R. Writes Woodbridge
township Committee.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Woodbridge, April 15:-The regu-
lar meeting of the township commit
tee was held Thursday evening, with
all members present. A communica-
ton from the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, stating that in the matter
of placing night gatemen at Main
and Green streets crossing, they had
investigated and found that but 100
pedestrians and six vehicles used
the former crossing between 10 P.
M. and 6 A. M. and about half the
number used the Green street cross
ing, and they therefore deemed the
placing of night men unnecessary.
1t would appear that two of the
three nights that the company's men
counted the persons using the cross
ings were stormy and that the sea-
son chosen to investigate the matter
was one in which the traffic would
necessarily be light. The clerk was
therefore directed to take up the
matter again and call particular at
tention to the heavy traffic to Boyn-
ton Beach which would 500 begin.
The bid of the Woodbridge Print
cry, Inc, of $1.53 a page for furnish
ing the annual statement was the
only M received and was accepted.
John Hanson, real estate broker of
Perth Amboy, came before the COM
mittee and requested the adjustment
of a tax matter in which by an error
in assessment made some years ago,
J.. F. Cahill, of Newark, had bought
a lot owned by Mr.. Hanson on which
the taxes had been paid instead of an
adjoining lot. The matter was or
dered referred to the township at
torney.
The road supervisor came before
the committee and stated that the
Woodbridge road, Port Reading,
where a drain had been made some
years ago with railroad ties, was
such that a new drain must be built
at once. 1t was decided to replace
the old drain with one of the sewer
pipes and the road supervisor was in
structed to start the job at nee
G. w. Rudy came before the COM
mittee and stated that a dog appar-
emily mad had bitten him and after
ward made its escape. He had had
the wound cauterized by Township
Physician Collins, whom the COM
mittee ordered to procure the serum
for Pasteur treatment.
The township engineer was pres
ent and directed to prepare specifi-
cations and estimates for macadam-
izing of Ridgedale and Prospect ave-
nues, Holton and Cliff streets and
Mutton Hollow road, and have same
read y by the goth. inst.
Bills to the amount of $3,202.72

ORDERED
At SPOTSW00D
Postmaster Deems 1t Wise
TO Secure Strong Fox.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Spotswood, April 15:-Postmaster
Joseph Hodapp, Sr., who has expert
enced two robberies while postmas-
ter of the local office, has sold his,
old safe, destroyed by the last gang
of thieves, and ordered another and
more up-to-date treasurer holder,
which will be placed in the local
office of Uncle Sam.
Two or three years ago, while
Bernarr McFadden's culturites were
Cutting up" about a mile from this
place, a gang of robbers broke into
the local post Office on Saturday
evening and got away with ome
thing like $4,000 worth of stamps
and a little coin besides. Since hat
visitation Postmaster Hodapp has re-
Trained from investing in a new safe,
the last one Cracked" being his per-
sonal property.
Since Physical Culture City was
abandoned by the opponents of "the
simple life" but little business has
been transacted in the local post
Office and the income of the postmas-
ter has fallen from second class,
$4,000 a year, 10 fourth and the last
class, with a salary on a commission
basis and not exceeding $1,000 in a
like period. SO, but with little de-
mand for large quantities of stamps
at one time, Postmaster Hodapp has
deemed it wise to invest in another
safe.

BODY THAT OF
UNKNOWN MAN
Coroner Has Trouble Reach
ING It--ket Hognestad.

Lying face downward on the mea-
dows about a mile below the Port
Reading coal docks, Coroner Garrett
son found the body of an unknown
man Yesterday afternoon in a most
inaccessible spot, the fact of It's be-
ing located there having been COM
municated to him by a boatman
through Chief of Police Burke.
Body Badly Mutilated.
The body was about fifty feet
from the shore and had the appear
ance of having laid there for some
time. 1t had probably washed up
at some high tide to the point where
it was found. The features were in
an unrecognizable condition and 1t
was impossible to tell what color the
hair had been. Identification would
seem to rest with the clothes.
To get to the body yesterday after
moo Coroner Garretson went to
: Boynton Beach in his automobile.
He tried to walk across the meadows
to the body but could not on &C
count of various creeks. He then
went back and started out again
from the Port Reading coal docks
and finally succeeded in locating the
body on a little knoll. The coroner
probably walked over five miles in
the rain and wet before reaching it
and was soaked to the skin on reach
ing home. The body was secured
this morning by using a boat, and
buried almost Immediately.
In Water Several Months.
The man was probably drowned
several months ago. He had some
bills in his pockets for provisions
purchased for Scully Towing Co. tug
Hockendaqua, Of which he was evil
IDENTIFY an employee. The goods were
evidently purchased last December
from Peter Degenhardt, 33 Hudson
street, Jersey City. In the mans
pockets were two five cent pieces, q
sock, a box of matches, a pipe and
paper Of tobacco and the bills for
the provisions mentioned. He had
on a brown tie, a blue shirt, a long
black oyercoat, gray pants and a
dark coat.
Is Not Hognestad.
It was thought at first that per-
haps the body might have been that
of Anton Hognestad, who was
drowned by the upsetting of a small
boat off this city last January. His
clothes, however, were described as
being a dark raincoat, a blue coat
and vest, dark striped trousers and
a green tie. He was an empioye of
the barge Berkshire, so it is thought
that the mans body found yesterday
must be that OF some one else.
Coroner Garretson will endeavor
to establish his identity by the
clothes and articles found In his
pockets.

POST OFFICE
HAS BIG RUSH
Flood OF Easter Cards Ovsr-
taxes tho Clerks.

An extraordinary heavy flood of Eas-
ter mail at the post Office has made 50
much work that Postmaster George H.
Tiee was obliged to pitch in and help
the clerks this morning. According to
Mr.. Tiee, the volume of business yes
terday and today was not larger than
that of the corresponding period of
last year, but during the two days prior
to Easter of last year the business vas
larger by far than during the cores
ponding time Of any previous year in
the history of the Office.
Easter mail consists mainly Of cards,
fancy and otherwise. Some of them are
bulky and extremely difficult to handle
when in large numbers. The Easter
rush commenced on Wednesday of this
week, which is considered late compared
with past years. Thus it became neees-
sary for the employees to handle a
large volume of business within a short
err time than in past years.

with oddly shaped handles, is the latest
fad among the seekers of objects with

really queer testimony to the workings

Recovered Horse in Jigtime

The sheriff's force is coming in for
commentator in regard to the quick
recovery of a horse and buggy Mon
day, after it was supposed to have
been stolen. c. A. Beardsley, who
resides at 312 Pleasant avenue, drove
down town Monday morning and
hitched his horse to telephone pole
a the corner Of Yakima avenue and
First street, in front of John Weigel's
clothing store. He returned in 80
minutes or so and discovered that the
animal and buggy were missing. He
supposed that they had been stolen
and notified the sheriff's office at
once. Deputies started on the hunt
in automobiles and telephoned to
different parts of the city giving no.
tice and asking officers to be ON the
lookout. In an almost incredibly
short tile the rig was found at Mil
ler's new big barn at Front and A
street Who the name of the person
who took the horse there remains a
deep, dark, murky mystery even to
the present minute. 1t is what is
known as jigtime recovery of missing
property.

Victor Records Wanted

The mission on South Front street,
in charge of Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Crit
tenden has recently been presented
with a Victor graphophone by the
Yakima Music company. All that is
needed now in order that they may
have music when wanted is a dona-
ton of Victor records by those who
have them to spare. Perhaps there
are people in this city who have rec
ords of that kind that have been used
at home until needed there no longer.
If such be the case, d onations of such
records to the mission will be hear
tily appreciated, and they will do as
much good as though they were brand
new. The mission is gradually being
fitted up in comfort. and has already
been the means of furnishing much
enjoyment to people who otherwise
would have no comfortable place to
go to spend an evening.
