METUCHEN HAS
TALE OF A DOG
Dr.. A, C. Hunt Welcomes
tho Return of Caesar.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

1FNNN~f y WV - -
Metuchen, May 24:-Dr. Alonzo
Clark Hunt has a fine position with
the State Board of Health and his
father before him had the same posi-
ton. The genial doctor also had a
well bred dog, a pointer named Gaze
sar, until a few weeks ago. When
Herman Saxon's Irish setter ran
amuck he bit a number of other
dogs, cats and a pony. 1t was al
legged that one Of the dogs bitten
was Lon" Hunts pointer, but
Lon" denied the allegation. Pretty
soon the local health board inform
ed DR.. Hunt that he ought to have
the dog killed. Mayor Wilson and
the doctor had quite a talk about
the matter one afternoon but that
dog cost the doctor a piece of money
and he did hate to part with him.
Finally he reckoned that 1t would
never do for an official of the State
Board of Health to conflict with the
local health board, 81 he sent word
to the mayor to send the dog catch
er after his dog.
In due time the Railway dog
catcher called at the Hunt homestead
with his dog wagon and Caesar was
carted off In the direction of Rah-
way. The dog catcher puts all his
dogs to their last sleep at shutdown,
so when shutdown came and went
everybody thought Caesar was a
goner and many gave vent to their
feelings saying it was a shame such
a fine dog had to go along with the
useless ours. There has been a
gloom over the Hunt household ever
since. A few nights G the doctor
sat in his library putting a cigarette
and brooding over the loss of his pet.
Suddenly he was aroused by a
scratching and whining at the door.
Opening the door his gaze fell upon
a familiar form. Surely it was not
Caesars ghost. Dogs don't have
ghosts. No, 1t was Caesar himself,
and he just parked for joy so glad
was he to see his master. He was
taken inside and given g warm
bracer and a royal welcome and it's
ten to one that the dog catcher won't
get him again.
Caesar passed through the valley
of death (the road to Railway and
lives to tell the tale. OF course
he can't tell his story except in his
own way, but DR.. Hunt is not both
ering about that. Caesar is alive
and we'll and he has his life before
him. In the meantime folks are try
ing to figure the thing out. Never
before was a dog known to have es-
capped the death penalty once he got
in the hands of the dog catcher. This
gentleman is paid $1.25 for every
dog he kills and it was supposed that
he collected the same for the Hunt
dog. Now the question is will he
get another $1,25 If he kills the
Hunt dog over again. Some folks
say the dog catcher kills the bad
dogs and makes other disposition of
the good dogs. Usually a borough
marshal goes along with the dog
catcher to witness the killing.

9 FIRE ALARM
BOXES CHANGED
All "Fiftiss" on Stats Strest
--Chief's Record.

Changes and additions Nare being
made in the fire department to i'm
prove the service and give added
efficiency. Yesterday Superintendent
Chamberlain, of the Public Service,
with workmen, transferred fire alarm
box No. SO from tombstone and
Maurer, and box No. "a at that point
to tombstone and Neville streets.
VIII Save Time.
This will give companies a straight
run on state street to all boxes In the
ffties, and give added speed In an
swering alarms. Thus after the first
FIVE taps have been sounded the
Lincoln and Hook e Ladder compa-
MES can leave their house and count
the remaining taps on their way.
Minor improvements have been made
in a number of the houses and con-
tractors are working in Protection
Hook & Ladder Company's and Nc
Clellan Engine Company's headquar-
tiers.
New grooved supports for the new
rubber-tired fire apparatus arrived at
the Lincoln house yesterday and will
be put into use Immediately. These
are to be placed under the wheels to
prevent the rubber tires from fiatten-
ing where they touch the floor.
Chief Breaks Record.
1t is generally believed that the
use of a rig by Fire Chief T. E.
Anderson has promoted interest
among frefghters. 1t has caused
greater activity, it is declared, mas
much as often times companies try
to beat him to fires. Mr.. Anderson
himself declares it has caused a more
active spirit in the companies. Dur
ing his year of service Mr.. Anderson
has answered a total of eighty-three
alarms, still and otherwise, thus
breaking all records of past chiefs.
His term expires May 81.

FOR UP-KEEP OF
THE HIGHWAYS
State Road Commissioner
to Devise New Plan.
sFrom the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, May 24:-State Commits
sioner of Roads Stevens is ~endeavoring
to devise plans to lessen the expenses
of up-keep of the thoroughfares
throughout the state. This year the
commissioner has been able to promise
the counties only $250,000 for road
work, but he is letting them know as
soon as possible how much each one
may expect in order that Improvements
TO the highway may be made early in
the season.
At present this department has only
one and a half millions for work, which
the commissions says under present
conditions, would require from two to
three millions. An instance of the
economy that has to be practiced was
shown yesterday when a Bergen tFgn-
ship asked for $4,000 ~orNork.
sD11e to allow
Anfy3 $3.50, one of the committeeman
promising a like amount and efforts to
raise more will be tried in the county.
Shut Off New Road Work.
At the present rate of road destruc-
ton from autos and other traffic the
commissioner may have to seek legisla-
ton to shut off new work until the
present thoroughfares can be brought
to a good condition. He has schemes
under consideration to have the roads
kept at a high standard once they are
placed there, one of the plans being to
have one mar responsible daily for the
condition of the roads. New powers
will be necessary to accomplish the de-
sired ends.

CHAIRMAN LOW ON
DIGNITY PRECEDENT
MAKES SUPERVISORS NOT ONLY
SIT UP, BUT STAND UP,
FOR NOTICE.

Supervisor Eben Low yesterday noon
showed that he is parliamentarian
from the word go, for while he was
chairman pro tenn of the meeting of
the board of supervisors, in the alb.
senee Of Mayor Fern, he told his col
leagues in no upmistakable terms that
they must arise and address the chair
in the proper manner if they wished
to be recognized.
Mayor Fern is confined to his home
with troublesome boil on his nose,
and as the supervisors must pass the
payroll one of their number was nee
essarily appointed to the chair.
After some discussion, it was Low
who was decided upon, none of the
others thinking they could perform the
duties of Hizzoner in proper shape.
Low made the most of his brief au-
thority and failed to recognize anyone
who did not address him in the proper
manner.
He said to his colleagues that if they
expected TO be recognized they must
stand and address the chair In the
proper manner.
There was not much business trans.
acted at the meeting. the payrolls be.
ing passed, and then the meeting ad.
jonrRed because the members were
afraid Of what the chair would do
next.

Relief VESSELS
MADE IT WORSE
CAPTAIN BRAY suRPRrBED THE
BALvERs WITH HIS
Testimony.

an The time Of the distrie, court yes.
terday was taken with the hearing Of
the celtic Chief case, Captain wois-
bach being on the stand during the
morning session and Captain Bray Of
the quarantine service occupying the
time Of the court during the afternoon.
The testimony Of Captain weisbach
had TO do mostly with the position Of
the vessel and the danger to the salv-
ing boats.
Captain Bray in his testimony Of the
afternoon made one statement which
was "A surprise to the counsel for the
Miller Salvage Company and Inter
Island Company, and that was to the
effect that the wash from the propel-
lers OF the tugs and steamers which
had lines on the wreck had much to do
with sending il farther on the reef.
Asked to explain, Captain Bray
stated that when he went alongside the
Celtic Chief with the quarantine launch
the wash from the propellers of the
towing craft was SO strong that he had
hard work to maneuver and not be
swept over the reef. He stated that
the launch was an eight-knot boat and
has twenty-five horsepower, and with
all the power being used he was just
able 10 get away from the stranded
vessel.
In his opinion this strong wash Of
water had great deal to do with send
ing the Celtic Chief farther over the
reef, as it continued hour after hour.
There were several spirited argu-
ments between Attorneys Olson and
Magoon over questions which the lat
ter put to the witness and one question
in regard to the ability of the Miller
anchor to pull the ship from the reef,
providing sufficient power was used,
was put over until this morning when
it will he asked in more detail by At
torney Magoon.
Attorney Olson objected to the ques-
tom on the ground that Captain Bray
was not competent to testify on this
point. and by questions to the witness
brought out the fact that he did not
know the tonnage of the vessel nor the
amount of cargo she had on board.
Mr.. Olson claimed that not knowing
these facts rendered the witness unable
to testify as to the amount of power
necessary to pull the vessel off or if
the anchor in question would do it.
The point of whether the vessel
would come off easier when she was
on top of the reef or after she had
worked cradle for herself in the coral,
was answered by the witness as his
opinion she would come off easier in the
latter case.
Court adjourned until this morning
when the hearing win be resumed.

PHONEY DAVIS IS
IN TROUBLE AGAIN
tFrom snnday,a Advertlaar. !


oi Were it not for stPhoney', Davis.
the officials of the United States court
might become lonesome, for he appears
before them or gives the prosecuting
attorney something to do at regular
intervals Yesterday he was gathered
in for buying struggled goods and was
arrested during the morning after an
investigation by Assistant Attorney
Rawlins.
1t seems that PhOney is said to have
been purchasing smuggled gin off
the ship Alexander Isenberg, which has
been in port here for the past two
weeks, coming from Hamburg. Sailors
on the vessel have taken the old eoun-
try beverage ashore, it is alleged, and
have sold most of it to Davis.
He was arrested on one count only
yesterday, but there are other cases of
the same nature against him, as he has
been reported to have been buying the
stuff nearly every day since the vessel
arrived.
The last time that Davis was in the
Federal court was in connection with
lIarboring newly arrived Russian
woman for immoral purposes, and that
time he received sentence of several
months.
He has appeared in the police court
at least once since he was liberated
from Jail, that in connection with an
assault upon a man in this city.
For buying smuggled goods he can
be punished by a fine of from fifty to
five thousand dollars or imprisonment
for two years.
