CUTTING MEN
NOT RELEASED
Prosecutor Booraem Says
Local Men Must Remain.

Recorder Kehoe's January fines
would be about 5000 now but for
the position taken by the county
prosecutor yesterday in refusing to
cooperate with the city prosecution
of John Setch and Michael Hartel
for the cutting off, Mike Kopulko
some two weeks ago.
Setch and Hartel Were fined $50
and $75 respectively at the time OF
their apprehension under the disor-
derly act. They were held at police
headquarters for several days to en-
able their friends to raise their
fines. The fines not being forthcom-
ing they were held for the action OF
the grand jury under $1,000 bonds.
For the past two weeks they have
been at New Brunswick awaiting the
disposition Of their case.
In the meantime friends of the
two men raised the funds necessary
for the fines and agreed to give
Kopulko $50 as compensation for
the time he lost while in the hospi-
tai, and the injuries he received.
This arrangement satisfied Kopulko,
the s125 In fines satisfied the city
prosecution of the case, and Recor-
der Kehoe is OF the impression that
the county should have been salts
fed with the settlement of the case
in that it would save the cost Of
prosecution, which undoubtedly win
be expensive.
Prosecutor Booraem stated, how
ever, that as long as the papers had
been sent up to him he could not
release them.

DOG HUNTING
POPULAR AT
WOODBRIDGE
Township Issues ProcIama-
tion and General Shooting
Of CANNES Follows.
KILL ALL UNMUzzLED
--PAY ST FOR EACH

To guard against the possibility of
another mad dog rampage in Wood
bridge township and the northern sec
tion of this city such as occurred last
Thursday, the Woodbridge Township
has passed resolutions authorizing that
all unmuzled dogs found at large be
shot. J. Edward Harmed, the town
ship clerk. issued proclamation yes
terday authorizing the destruction of
all dogs running at large within the
limits of the township.
AS there is no regular dog catcher
in Woodbridge, this means that all per-
sons duly authorized to carry revol-
vers or other firearms may shoot any
.unmuzzled dog they see. For all car
casses Of such dogs, Health Inspector
r. A. Hirner, of Woodbridge, will pay
81 This makes the residents Of the
township practically their own dog
catehers and the speedy destruction of
all unmuzzled CANNES is expected to
follow.
G. E. Fisher, general manager for the
Detroit Cadillac Motor Company, who
was seriously bitten by the mad dog
that caused scare In Woodbridge and
the northern part of this city last
Thursday, is in Pasteur Institute New
York city. He was reported to be do
ing very well yesterday and he said
he only felt the effects of the treat
ment. The canine that bit him had
one of the worst attacks of rabies that
has come before the state laboratories
at Trenton since last fall
Since last week 3 scare there have
been reports current about Woodbridge
that mad dogs have run amuck in other
parts of the township and = in Port
Reading. Yesterday someone circulated
La report that mad dog was seen on
Fulton street. Woodbridge. These re-
ports seem to be without foundation,
as every dog seen on the streets of
Woodbridge is believed to be mad and
pedestrians give them a wide berth.
The proclamation authorizing the de-
struction of unmuzzled dogs follows
Proclamation.

Harmed, Township Clerk Of the Town

Mr.. VOORHEES,
HAS IDEA FOR
FAIRGROUNDS
Favors Buying Land Adjoin-
Ing Schools for Recreation
Purposes--Co Small.
SAYS CITY is NOT ABLE
TO EXPEND MUCH

In speaking on the playground
movement today Alderman-at-Large
William D. Voorhees, declared that
no expensive proposition could be
taken up by the city at this time.
Cities which might be compared
with Perth Amboy, like Bayonne,
East Orange, Elizabeth, etc. he said
have assessed valuations from $780,
000. 900 to $100, 900, 900, while this
city only has about SIT, 200, 900. He
stated that, with the bonded indebt-
edness near ishe ten per cent. mar
gin now, and many things to be
done, the city fathers have to go
careful.
Relative to Fairgrounds with
grandstands, recreation buildings
and expensive appliances, with care
takers, etc, MFR. voorhees, is OF the
opinion that such proposition
would be out OF the question at this
time. Mr.. voorhees, idea OF an in
children. for he Is an enthusiast on
the subject, Is for the city in the fu-
tures when buying sites for schools
to secure enough extra land sur
rounding them to take care OF the
children In the particular neighbor-
hood which the school will be at
tended By. He says this extra land
could be inexpensiyely fitted up
with baseball diamond and other
arrangements for the amusement OF
children and could be taken care OF
by the school 1anitors, thus doing
away with the expense OF care
taker.
Mr.. Voorhees, Is also OF the opin-
ion that land could be purchased in
anticipation OF it being ultimately
used for school sites, but for the
time being to be devoted for play
ground purposes. Outside OF the
purchase Of land cheaply In some
portions OF the city for this purpose,
Mr.. Voorhees, does not feel that the
city can stand any maintenance ex-
pense or great expenditure In pre-
J pairing it for the use Of the children,
other than grading 1t and making 1t
fit for children to romp and play up
on.
Once the land is secured. he says,
possibly by public subscription on
the work OF local societies, the plot
could be fitted up with the common
forms of playground appliances. Pro-
viding that land coudd be purchased
cnoap SnouS$4, 1r4sF FOOTMoS1 SayH,
that ~ wpnlA favor ldsve<tnx sssoaa \
Plot exclusiveIy Tor playground pur-
poEes, but under Ordinary condi-
lions, he rather favored the idea Of
having the recreation sites adjoin
the schools.

TO ENFORCE
SCHOOL LAW
Girls Taken from Factories
six Violations Here.

Within the last twenty-four hours
the labor department at Trenton has
sent word to Superintendent OF
Schools s. E. Shull OF six violations
OF the compulsory school law in this
city. This Is conceded to be large
number of violations for SO short q
period and the superintendent has
directed q rigid examination. The
matter OF looking up the location Of
the children and their parents has
been placed In the hands of Truant
Officer Meshrow. II the children
are oo.young to work they must 60
to school and failure on the part OF
their parents to send them there
may result In their prosecution.
Children within the ages prescrib-
ed by law for attending school must
do SO and the law will be rigidly en-
forced in this city In that respect.
The kind of school a child must at
tend is optional with its parents. 1t
may go to public school or to any
parochial school, but 1t must be ed
ucated In lawful manner. School
officials are OF the opinion that some
cases, such as have Just been re-
ported by the labor department,
eminate from some of the city's
parochial schools. An ofiicial said
this morning that children some
times go q few years to some paro-
chiAl school and then drop out al
most unnoticed and there seems to
be no one around to enforce the law.
Inspectors from the state depart
ment Of labor. perhaps Lewis r.
Bryant, the commissioner himself,
were in this city few days ago and
made an inspection OF the conditions
In several of the local factories.
Several names were handed over to
Superintendent Shull and this morn
Ing Truant officer Meshrow got four
girls from factories who were under
asTa9 fsssa Y Y damskI III fosfIandt is1'I
street Hose YDhns, Alb Grant
street; Susie Petrcby, 364 Stanford
street. and Annie G. Segielsky, OF
268 Grace street. The Adamski girl
WAS employed at the Rosenthal
Hand dkerchief factory and the
others at KottIer's shirtwaist fac
tory Both factories are In New
| Pr. .S--.es - s.s-s..s1.-1ss.. q.
IN the preliminary Investigation
the parents of the children said
that they were attending school.
Mr.. Meshrow found them at work at
the factories, however, where he
was admitted only after showing HIS
badge. The factory authorities state
that they were OF the impression
that the girls were over the school
age. The children will be compelled
to 20 to school Ii 1t means going to
the extremity OF having the parents

Y. Freilnghuysen is being hnirea hi
the tales of the piedges given by Iegais- n
lators prior to election that they woillds
pass the bills If elected Armed with
the precedent of Governor Wilson that
such promises should NOT be entered in-s
10 or II entered in1o, should not be
kept because public opinion il aginst
such deals, Senator Frelinghnysen s.
farmer constituents are passing rese-
lutions III their oranges against the
pending automobile legislation.
When these bills come up for final
passage in the senate this week, Ii
they can be gotten up, there promises
to be one of the important fights of
the session over them. Frelinghuysen
will fight them tooth and nail. Senator
Leavitt, of this county, who refused
to pledge himself, will tell Of some Of
the alleged methods of the motorists
in coercing the legislature. Senator
Gaunt, head of the state grange, is op.
posed to letting down the bars.
The motorists say that the pending
bills have received the endorsement OF
every automobile club affiliated with
the state federation, and have the APP
pfoyal of Governor Wilson. No one IT
us stated, is authorized to speak for
the governor.
The bills comprise three amendments
and one supplement to the existing Ere
linghuysen automobile regulation law.
The first is designed to cure defect
in the legislation requiring lights. The
second bill, to which there is stronger
objection, allows nonresident motor
list to enter the state for fifteen days in
each year without payment of any IL
eense fee here, provided he has coua-
piled with the license Law of the state
to which be is resident. Drivers are
further exempted from taking out Ter
sey licenses to drive and the owner of
the machine is not obliged to fife
power of attorney with the secretary
of state, as resident motorists are, ex-
cept to accept service in case Of acei-
dent.
The third bill provides that horse
power shall be computed by multiply
ing the square of the diameter Of the
bore Of the cylinder by the number Of
the cylinders and dividing the product
thus obtained by two and one half The
other measure directs the state road
commissioner to expend $1,000 a year
for cautionary and direetionary road
signs There is no opposition 10 This.
