GASHES THROAT
IN JAIL AFTER
TURNING ON GAS
Irvington Man, Prevented by
Wife from Killing Himself,
Makes Attempt in Cell.

Even after he had been locked up IN
tho Irvington police headquarters fo-
trying suicide with gas, William Hem
strau was not satisfied, and smashing
the cell WINDOW with his fist he pulled
out the broken grass and cut his throat
from ear to ear. He is in st. Barna-
basis Hospital, where he is quite likely
to die today.
Hemstrau, who is a Hoilander and a
carpenter by trade, lives at 214 Twenty
first street, Irvington. He had bean
morbid for a long time, but his wife
paid little attention to his threats al
suicide until at 2:45 this morning she
arose to find him half conscious in the
bathroom with the door shut and the
gas turned on.
She called on the Irvington police
station for help, and officers Henry
Camp and Frank Elliott went around
to the house and broke In the loo with
stones. Hemstrau was raving back
and forth, threatening to kill his wife,
when they arrived, but he grew quiet
enough when they told him who they
we're and went quite peaceably to the
police station, where he was locked up
in a little cell behind the courtroom.
The two officers had to leave him for
a moment to explain the case TO the
magistrate, and they were explaining
when the court proceedings was inter-
rupted by o series of yells from a half
dozen prisoners. They ran back to
find the other prisoners In a panic,
with Hemstrau lying on the floor, al
ready half-conscious from loss OF blood.
and with the jagged end of the broken
window pane In his hand to show what
he had done.
DR.. A. c. Christian bandaged up a
gaping wound in the neck. and then
hurried the man TO st. B~arnabas's in
an ambulance. Hemstrau is 48 years
old.

ACCUSED BY HOTEL MAN
OF BEATING BOARD BILL,

William b. Jordan. a shoe manu-
facturer in this city, living at 81
Chestnut street, East Orange, was ar
rested today by Policeman Robert
Shannon on complaint of Frank Leslie,
of the Elmwood, that he removed his
baggage from the hotel without pay
Ing a $50 board bill.
Mr.. Jordan offered as defense the
claim that a satchel containing a
pocketbook with $40 had bee nstolen
from his room While at dinner and
thought the hotel people responsible, as
q porter was moving the goods into an
other room. He also claimed he was
overcharged. What he really owed al
the hotel was IS, Mr.. Jordan told Re-
corder Mott.
Mr.. Jordan stated that he had told
the hotel manager of his loss AND over
charge and claimed he did nothing
criminal, but under the law Recorder
Mott released him in $50 bail to await
possible action by the grand jury, ex-
pressing the belief, however, that he
did not think an indictment would be
returned against the manufacturer.

IN COURT
WHEN RECOGNIZED
BY POLICE CHIEF
Nutiey Officer Proves UndOing of
Man Accused by Boys of
Attempted Swindling.

The sharp eye of Chief OF Police
Wright Sutc1iffe, of Nutley, which has
been acquired by police experience,
proved to be the undoing of an alleged
swindler in the Nutley police court
yesterday when Frederick Smith, 25
years old, of Forest street, Montclalr,
has a past record In police circles.
Smith was taken into the police court
as a suspicious character, and after
Sutcliffe had laid bare the alleged
record of the Montclair youth he
tainted away and 1t required much
effort with r~estoratives to revive him.
Smith was later arraigned before Re-
corder Washington E.. Page, of Nutley.
and held In $500 bail to await the
action of the grand jury upon a charge
preferred by Frederick Elmer, a youth.

that Smith fleeced him on of IS on a
pretense thai ne was going to secure
work for him. Charles Calling. OF
Franklin avenue, Nutley. also fell a
victim to Smiths game, it Is charged.
but he did not fall for any money
Smith met Elmer through his brother.
George Elmer, on Wednesday at Nor
folk and Orange streets. this city, and
in conversation Elmer said his brother
wanted work He took Smith to his
home, where Mrs. Elmer gave Smith SIS,
as Smith claimed that he had to have
security as his drivers would have to
collect largo amounts Of money.
Smith then left. it Is said, but re-
turned yesterday and took Elmer on a
tour of bakeries to introduce him.
After entering a bakery IN Jersey City
Smith. came out, saying he had just
bought $3.50 worth of bread to be
shipped to Allentown, Pa, and impor-
tuned Elmer TO get $40 from his broth
er, as he had 10 money and they would
both have to go to Allentown at once.
Elmer could not get the money, as
his brother did not have 1t. The pair
vent to Nutley to see Elmer's brother,
who works In tho Nutley postofice.
The latter did not like the looks of
the matter and took Smith into police
headquarters, where Chief Sutcllffe

WATER COMPANY
MAY GET AROUND
COURT DECISION
Nutley Is Asked to Transfer
Condemnation Rights to
East Jersey.

A resolution was introduced at the
tneetins Of the Eutley Town Council
last night at the request Of DIR. j. l..
Leaie. representing the East Jersey
Water Company, asking that the town
transfer its right of condemnation 10
the East Jersey concern until 1914. This
IL taken as an attempt to get aeound
the recent chancery decision which
gives the town power of condemnation
over its water preserves. and to retain
the supply contract for the water
company until 1914. The resolution was
referred TO the legal COMMITTEES. 1t
seernd to met with favor.
The water company has, since re-
eeipt Of the c%hancery decision, trans
ferred its Nutley contract TO the Mont
clair Water Company. The East Jer-
gay concern agrees to stand the ex-
psrse OF transfer n to return con-
domination rights to the town OF Nut
lay at the expiration of its contract,
IN 1914. Under the ruling OF the de-
eision II cannot serve water to Nntley
after April /, and its arrangement with
the Montclair company Is understood
TO be temporary. =
The report Of the Commission on
Assessments wal heard and 1t was de-
nided to further open Memphis and
Mountain View avenues. The extend
ing Of the former will necessitate the
cutting off OF two feet of the porch
ana part of the upper story of the
home Of William Stevens.
The agitation for a library vas given
a temporary lull when 1t was an
nounced that the solonB would lay the
library matter upon the table until the
F,assaic Valley trunk sewer question is
settled. A referendum vote will
probably decide this within a short
tfrne.
Councilman Z. @. Weischadel. chair
man of the building committee, report

WOMEN SUPPORT
BOARD IN PLAN
FOR new SCHOOL
West Orange Improvement
League Votes to Abandon
Old Building. !

The West Orange Improvement
League, composed largely of prominent
society women, has taken sides with
the Board of Education of that town
in the controversy as to whether a new
school shall be built or that the old st.
Marks school shall be renovated. Only
three women voted against the new
school idea at a meeting of the league
yesterday. Among those who objected
We're Mrs. G. Hewlett Davis, who's
husband is opposed to the abandon
ment of the present building. and Mrs.
Frank A. O'Connor. Mrs. Herbert
Parry presided dit the meeting.
George F. Robinson, president of the
West Orange Board of Education, gave
the reasons why the board had decided
that a new building upon a different
location was the only feasible plan.
Chief among President Robinson's OBJ
j~ections to the present building was its
irsanitary condition both with regard
to the heating and ventilating system
and it's undesirable location, its adj
1acency to a large hating plant and
the danger to the small children
caused by the trolley cars which run
past the building. President Robin
son said that although the Town
Council had been requested in the past
to station a patrolman at the school
TO safeguard the pupils no action had
been taken by that body.
Mrs. Davis expressed the opinion
that with a reasonable sum of money
the school can be made desirable. She
laid stress upon the fact that the bond
ed Indebtedness of the town is at pres
ent very large, which, coupled with tae
prevailing high tax rate. rendered I'M
wise any expenditure of a large sum or
money. Mrs. Ernest Childs said: $50
deplorable were the conditions in this
school thai was forced to TAKE my
children from it. Why, the way things
are going on we won't want to w
any property in the town
Mrs. Barry distressed in the discus
sion that Followed long enough to take
a fling at the saloon situation i'll the
town. we have more saloons than,
has any other town I know of, with
perhaps the exception Of some cities in
Nevada. Would it not be much better
had we fifteen or twenty nice flourish
ing saloons than forty-six indifferentiy
kept and ~patronized, as Is pow thu
case"
