 The average , st of production by the companies was g 1-2 cents per pound, but there was great diversity in this item as we'll as in the general results, owing to the fact that a num- Der of them operate properties in which the ore carries proportions of lead, silver or gold and include the value derived from the same in mak- ing up their statistics.

Man IS FOUND DEAD DESIRES ORDINANCE
Requiring Reports on Nov
ing to the Police.

When questioned as to what ordin-
ances might be passed during the year.
Mayor Zimmerman today said that one
of the best ordinances would be one
repeating most of those already in ex.
istance. He said there are many un-
necessary and even foolish ordinances
now in effect that do no good.
However, there are two important
bills. which President Hammond, OF
the board of works wishes to get
through this year. The first is a bill;
providing that all transfer and NOV.
ing van agencies shall keep a record
of all persons moved and from where
and to where they are taken. Once a
week there shall be a report of the
persons moved made to police head
quarters, where q permanent record
shall be kept.
In this way President Hammond be
lieves the police can keep track OF
many persons, who are continually
moving about. 1t Is this class of peO
pie who are most often wanted by the
police. This ordinance would not in
Guide transients.
The other ordinance under cOnsid
Grafton is one providing that threshing
machines may not use the streets for
commercial purposes without the pay
ment of a very heavy license fee
These two ordinances are all the board
of works now has under considera
ton.

Coroner r. j. Pierce was summoned
and an investigation was made. The
appearance of the body, the left side
being bruised, indicated that he had
fallen from the passage way above the
pit, distance of about five feet. His
shoes were off. and the supposition is
advanced that he had just come in
from out of doors and was intending
to warm his feet
An attack of heart failure is believ.

probably be to this effect. He has not

METUCHEH DOGS ARE AS
SCARCE AS HEnS'TEETH
special TO The EVENING NEWS.

special TO the EVENING NEWS.
Metuchen, April 19;-Truly these
are not dog days in Metuchen. That
Is, they are not letting every dog
have his day here anymore. Her
man Gross, secretary of the Board of
Health, Lynx-Eyed Enos, Smiling
Paddy, Mayor Wilson, and last but
not least, the Railway dog caIcher,
are still after the mongrels. 1t Is ad-
mitted that business Is not brisk,
however. Dogs are scarce as hens
teeth. Dave Powers has Just been
coming money selling dog muzzles.
Years ago somebody started a big
noise about unmuzzled NUTS and
Dave laid in a big supply of muzzles,
but they have been Z drug On the
market all these days. Now thanks
to Herman and Enos, Dave is sellin'
'em like hot cakes. Trouble Is, the
muzzles on most of the dogs are not
of much account. A muzzle is sup
posed to make it impossible for a dog
to take a nibble from your leg, but
some of the muzzles used would en-
able a mutt to open his jaws wide
enough 10 guzzle a club sandwich.
The other day on Main street a fox
terrier named "Trixie." and a Scotch
Irish poodle named Zip" got mixed
up and although both were muzzled,
they did a lot Of biting.

METUCHEh'S LAUNDRY
TRUST is BUSTED"
Special to the EVENING NEWS,

Metuchen. April 19:-Charlib
Chin, an Americanized Chink from
the county seat, has earned the name
of being a trust buster inasmuch
as he has knocked the laundry trust
of Leuong Quong higher than a kite.
Charlie has long had an eye on Me-
tuchen and the opportunity of IRON
ing his way to the hearts of the
brainy folk. Despite the friendly
corporation laws of Jersey and the
strenuous efforts of Leuong Quong,
Charlie Chin yesterday closed a deal
whereby he takes George Hahm's
store, formerly occupied as an office
by the Middlesex Water Company.
Charlie is pretty thoroughly Ameri-
can, having resided in New Bruins
wick nearly twenty years, and that
is enough to make an American out
of anybody. He parted with his que
long ago and is quite smart in his
dress and general appearance. He
talks good English and has been
reading the papers for many years.
That's why he hit upon the idea of
coming to Metuchen. He told the
correspondent that he first got the
impression that Metuchen was a
great place by reading of 1t in the
papers. When the news gatherer
asked him If he was the chap who
recently took unto himself an Am
erican wife, Mr.. Chin told him mo"
in short order. He spoke very high
ly of American girls, however, but
says he Is a bachelor and one can
live cheaser nan two.
Metuchen is really pleased to have
Charlie start a washery here and
~henceforth in the writeups about Me-
tuchen and her brainy folk Charlie
will be remembered along with the
rest, for he Is much more brainy than
some folks we have In mind. In New
Brunswick Charlie vas a. active
fireman. Fire fighting is his hobby
and as soon as he gets his affairs In
shape he Is going to join the Metu-
chen department. Questioned about
his business he looked real wise and
limited that If living is high in Me-
tuchen he will do his part to lower
1t. 1t Is said that washing prices
will be lower here than they have
been for generations. L~ynX-Eyed
Enos is afraid that If Charlie goes to
smashing prices the w~asherwomen
as we'll as the Celestials in the
Leung Quong establishment will mix
1t up with Charlie Chin. That's why
Enos is keeping one lynx eye open
wide. When there is trouble TSewin'
EnOs can sniff it afar off, you know.

STATE SCHOOL
BOARD BILL
Provides for Seven Members
Passed by Senate.

Trenton, April 19:-Frelinghuysen 3
Senate bill, No. 25S, which was intend
cd originally to abolish the State Board
of Education and to create in its place
a commissioner of education with a ssa
airy of $4,000 a year, was passed in
the Senate last night. The bill as
amended, instead of wiping out the
State Board, provides for a commission
of seven members.
Frelinghuysen made a long speech in
advocacy Of the bill. He went over the
investigation of the State Investigating
Commission, of which he was chairman,
in detail, and said the need had been
made SO imperatively clear that the
State board was inefficient that the
commission had been constrained to
recommend a single-headed commission,
with four deputy commissioners as as
sistants. He believed that the senti-
ment in opposition to this plan had
been manufactured. Later, because of
opposition, it was decided to appoint
an advisory board of seven mebers, one
to retire and another to be chosen in
his place each year. If the present
State board had done it's duty there
would have been no need of an inves-
tigation. The commissioner under the
new bill is limited in his control to the
approval of the advisory or new State
board. He derided the idea that poll
ties would be so far injected into the
State board as to abridge its useful
ness.
The bill was passed by the following
vote:
Yeas-Ackerman, Bradley, Brown,
Fielder, Fitzherbert, Frelinghuysen,
johnson, Low, Osborne, Plummer, Price,
Prince, Silzer-13.
Nays-Cornish, Edge Gebhardt,

BR0WNKOV is
STILL INSANE
Long Island Blacksmith is
Now In Hospital.

Michael Brownkov, who was taken
to his home in Lindenhurst, L. l.,
from this city, as practically reeov-
cred from an attack of insanity early
last week, is now in the Central Is
lip, L. l., hospital, under treatment
for further mental disturbances.
Brownkov Is a blacksmith by trade.
He Is twenty-eight years old and sin
gle. At Lindenhurst he "a well
thought of. His habits have always
been temperate. He is a member OF
the Liberty Hose Company of that
place.
Seemed To Be Dragged.
On his arrival in this city last
week, where he had come TO visit his
sister, Mrs. Steven Meyer, of 6S5
High street, he exhibited all the
symptoms of a man who had been
drugged. He apparently got better
and was taken to his home by Ru
dolph Kish, of this city. For a time
Brownkoy had worked for E. Kaune,
a blacksmith of Lindenhurst, but of
late had been in business for him
self. On arriving in Lindenhurst last
Wednesday, Brownkov opened up
his shop, which had been closed all
the time he was in New York and
this city, but worked irratically.
That night he went to his boarding
house and made the night one of ter
ror for the rest of the boarders.
Had Peculiar Ideas.
The next day he wanted to build
big hotels and factories, to lay out
public parks, etc. Some friends had
him taken to Amity Vile, where he
was examined by Physicians Van
Wrinkle and Markham. They or
dered him taken to the hospital. Ov-
erseer of the Poor Peter Klienliens
placed him there that night.

TO FIX BLAME
FOR ACCIDENT
Bodies of the Two Women
taken to Belford.

Elizabeth, April 19:-The bodies
of Mrs. Hannah Cosgrove, Mrs.
Analiza Stone and Edward Saunders,
who we're killed Sunday night by be-
ing struck by the Lakewood Special
at the Elizabeth avenue station OF
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
were examined by Coroner Ado1ph
Degenring and a jury composed of
Lauren E. Todd, foreman; Henry
Ahrens, John M. Norr, Max Wolferts
and J. Organ. Monday evenings ex-
animation was made ostensibly for
the purpose of allowing the bodies
to be removed to Point Pleasant and
Bedford, where the victims had lived.
A request had been made to the
o by relatives of the railroad
victims for the bodies to permit
burial, and for the purpose of taking
the bodies of the ONE to Bedford,
Undertaken Beedle, Of that place,
came to this city Monday. The bodies
of Mrs. Cosgrove and Mrs. Stone
were taken to Bedford on the $50
o'clock train yesterday morning,
while that of Edward Saunders was
shipped to Point Pleasant on the
$3.50 o'clock train by Undertaken
Jlul Wy vi Shd pAuSS.
To Hold Inquest.
With a view to a~scertaining the
exact cause Of death and to learn
who, If any, is responsible for the
accident, Coroner Degenring and his
Jury will hold an inquest in the I'm
ion county court house probably this
afternoon. Prosecutor C. Addison
Swift will attend the inquest and
assist the coroner in the inyestiga-
ton.
While the has not yet,
made an official statement regarding
what might have been the real cause
of the accident, it seems to be the
consensus of opinion that somebody
was negligent. Whether it was the
railroad company or the engineer no
one seems to be able to determine,
but it is a fact that there Is a strong
feeling against the existence of the
railroad grade crossings along the
Long Branch division, which have
been the scene of many fatalities.
