Motorists Are W armed.

Squire Weeks, terror of Philadelphia
and New York automobilists, who has
fined several drivers running through
Pleasantville on their way to Atlantic
City during the last week, was baked
through the scheme of local automobil-
lists. Louis Zentmayer, proprietor of the
Palace garage, stationed men armed
with red flags at every roadway leading
into Pleasantville and to the Meadow
Boulevard, who halted each driver and
warned them of the operation of the
Justice. Under the drastic State auto
law the rate of speed prescribed through
Pleasantyille is twelve miles an hour,
and, but for timely warnings hardly a
ear would have been kept down to this
crawling gait. Some Of the automobil-
lists, speeding on their way to or from
the shore, appeared angry when halted
by the warning flag, but regained their
good humor when they learned of the
kindly intentions of the guardsmen.

residing on Verona avenue, quietly left

about one tenth its value. They were
arrested just as they were about to board
a Pennsylvania train to make their es-
cape. They were given hearing before
Magistrate Grove, who held her under
bail of $3.50 and him under bail of
81 900. In addition to Mr.. Youse, George
w. Leech, John S. Weaver, the Dunlap

FALLS TO HIS DEATH.
Breaking Scaffold Causes Death Of One
Italian; Another Probably
Fatally Injured.

Tony Csarao, one of the two Italian
workmen who crashed to the ground
from dizzy height when scaffold
broke at the Absecon Pumping station
on Saturday afternoon, died at the At
lantic City Hospital early Sunday morn
ing The unfortunate man, who was in
terna1ly injured, did not regain con-
sciousness. Antonio Binello, who plung-
ed through space with Csarao, is lying in
precarious condition with fractured
skull and little hope is entertained of
his recovery.
A wife and seven small children in
far-off Italy will mourn the death of the
father. Csarao boarded at a house on
North Mississippi avenue with Binello.
Other dodgers say that the dead man has
no relatives in this country and that he
had been constant provider for his
family, having sent a large part of his
earnings home every month. He came
here little over year ago and had in
tended to return to Italy this Fall. when
he would have made arrangements to
bring his loved ones here.
Burial took place Tuesday at the Plea
santville Cemetery.
Fellow workmen saw the fall which
resulted in one fatality, and described it
in a most graphic way when they heard
Binello scream and simultaneously
cracking, grinding noise The falling
men were bowled through cross pieces,
the falling timber carrying down other
parts of scaffolding in its descent. Nei-
ther of the men uttered sound and
were pulled from beneath the pile of
broken lumber
A passing automobile was hailed and
the men placed in, when the chauffeur
put on all possible speed in rushing the
men across the Boulevard to the Hospit-
al.

OUT OF WORK FOR WEEKS.
Carpenter Leaves Wife and Children in
Destitute Circumstances.

Out of work for several weeks and not
possessing the ready funds with which
to pay the mortgage on his three homes
recently built, Frederick w. Newell, a
carpenter of Pleasantville, left his wife
and two baby girls, in search of work,
about the middle of last month.
One letter written to his wife from
Pennsylvania stated that he had started
for Scranton, where he had heard of a
position and was in hope of securing it.
Since that time Mrs. Newell has not
heard a word from her husband and
neighbors have credited the story that
Newell had deserted his wife because of
his failure to receive answers to num-
Der of letters that were sent to Scran-
ton These were returned to her unop-
ened.
Newell has been for a number of years
prosperous carpenter in Pleasantville,
having only recently completed three
new houses along the Shore Road below
Decatur street The mortgages are all
held by Sheriff Enoch johnson, and in
terest on some became due last month.
1t is understood the Sheriff was free in
allowing Newell an extension of time on
paying tnc HiOhcy anu Woulu nave even
given him help if he had asked it. He
did not do this, however, but preferred
to get work and pay the money as soon
as possible. 1t was with this intention
that he set out in search of work.
Mrs. Newell and two children aged 8
and 3 respectively are left destitute
without food or money. Sympathetic
friends have been helping them for sew
eral weeks. Neighbors have started a
contribution fund with which to provide
food for the mother and children.
Mrs. Newell stated that she did not
think her husband would ever come back
to Pleasantville to live again, but that
he would write some day to her to bring
the children elsewhere. The missing
man is about 40 years of age. Mrs.
Newell is 2S.

and made known the fact to their par
