NIT the Controller Bay Railway and

EXPECT ARREST.
IN OLD BRIDGE
Authorities Believe They Are
on the Right Track.
Specie! to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, Sept. 8:-An ar
rest is expected within two or three
days in the Old Bridge firebug case,
according to the statement made by
one OF the interested parties yes
terday afternoon. The detectives at
work on the case in connection with
the office of Prosecutor T. B.
Booraem think they are on the right
track and they believe their fnyes-
tigation will result in the capture of
the guilty party.
Yesterday afternoon Freeholder
Walter s. Dey, Of South Amboy, had
a resolution drawn up providing
that the county offer a reward OF
$500 for the capture and convic-
ton of the firebug. The resolution
was the result of the attention OF
the freeholders being called to the
case by George Selover Of the firm
of SeloYer and Stonaker, whose
store was burned last week. Fol-
lowing a conference with the au-
thorities who have the case IN
charge it was decided to take no ac-
JlOn upUr the naettor or prasnnt.
The offering of reward would bring
any number of outside officers here
and they might upset the plans OF
the county men now working upon
the case. 1t was agreed that a re-
ward should not be made at this
time.

TWO ITALIANS ARE SHOT DEAD IN BED:
ALLEGED MURDERER CAPT TURED IN HUT
RATE WILL
BE ABOUT $3.50

According to figures supplied by
Alderman-at-Large William D.
voorhees,, of this city, a member of
the Middlesex County Board of Tax
alton, the tax rate in this city for
1911 will be between s1.79 and
$3.50 per 800 valuation, or an in
crease over last year Of possibly
two points. The 1910 figures were
s1.7S per 500 valuation. This
rate Is much lower than that of New
Brunswick, where the figures rest
this year at s2.20 per 800 valua-
ton, which is the highest tax rate
allowable under the state laws. Spe-
cial dispensation was procured from
the county board by New Bruins
wick to boost the s2.16 figures Of
last year.
Perth Amboy's valuation this year
reaches the high water mark of
s18,318,936, compared to $16,-
901,94S for last year, and many
taxpayers have asked the EVENING
NEWS to explain why the tax rate
Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1911-09-08

for 1911 should be increased over
1905 figures, with this decided in
crease in valuations. Mr.. Voorhees,
attributed the slight raise to tbe
continual increase of the schools in
this city. During the past year con
tracts have been awarded for over
$4,000 worth Of new school prop
erty, including additions, etc, and,
as Mr.. voorhees, stated, new teach
ers must be engaged and other items
of expenditures increased to meet
the fast growing school problem.
According to the county board s
official figures, the county rate this
year will be .4478, compared with
AT in 1910. This is on a valuation
Of 800 and is offset by raise in
two points of the state school tax.
The state school tax has never been
lowered, in the memory Of the al
derman-at-large. AS these outside
influences counter balance this year,
the raise OF possibly two points can
be laid at the door Of the city's ex-
tenstva imprOvemen

Fermentation Evident.

By the way the murderer shot
down his victims he showed clearly
that the deed had been planned
some time previous. To the north Of
the bedroom is the kitchen and from
the way the house was arranged af-
ter the murder and the way in which
the bullets struck the Italians, it is
evident that the assailant must have
carefully studied out his plan Of pro-
cedure.
From the information gained it
seems that Patsy received the first
bullet His bed partner being aroused
by the shot made one leap for the
passag ageway and escaped by way of
the front hall. Then the deadly
weapon, it is assumed, was turned
upon Augustus Dunall. who was next
to the wall in the other bed. BY this
time Frank was awake and saw Benz
almost over the bed Realizing the
danger he started for the assailant
and grappled with him. The mur-
derer, although slight of stature,
possessed wonderful strength and es-
capped from Dunan. AS he retreated
he fired a parting shot and sent two
bullets into Dunall's left cheek.
The first intimation that the police
had of the tragedy was at 1l:15
o'clock last night, when Joseph
Galaida, of 430 New Brunswick ave
nue., telephoned to Roundsman Nor
ris, who was at the sergeaut's desk,
that several men had told him Of the
shooting in SayTe avenue. At this
news the acting sergeant detailed
PatroImen MCGOWAN, HartUng and
Rymarczak TO the scene.

DR.. NJ. S. Meinzer. who was called,
found two Of the men dead and sent
the third to the hospital, where it
was stated this morning that as yet
they could not tell the extent of his
injuries. Coroner Ferd GarretsOn
was called and after a thorough ex-
animation had Michael SpOllO
brought to the station house as a
witness
AS there was no one to claim the
bodies the coroner was forced TO
take them to his morgue in High
street. This morning Or. Edgar
Carroll. county physician, performed
an autopsy so as to be able to pre-
sent the case to the authorities when
called to. Patsy was killed by a
bullet penetrating his heart and
which came out the other side of his
body. Dunalrs fate was caused by a
bullet penetrating his left side, Thlie
