Fire R~eformatory Guards.


Public sentiment is aroused over
the action of the management of the
State Reformatory at Railway, which
suspended three Middlesex County
men, employed as guards at the insti,
tuition, and engaged Pennsylvania
school teachers in their stead. The
new employees will act as school
teachers and guards at one and the
same time. Petitions are in circula-
ton following the announcement of
the suspension, for the return of the
deposed guards, who are: Bruce
Brummond, of Woodridge; William
Parsons, Of New Brunswick, and
Charles Woodward, of Railway. The
petitions when completed will be pre-
scented first to Superintendent Frank
Moore, of the reformatory, and if no
action is taken the matter will be ap-
pealed to Governor Wilson. Brum-
mond, Person and Woodward had
been in the employ of the State for
some time, and, it is said, are under
civil service protection. The manage
ment will give no explanation, as SUI
