JERSEY OFFICIALS
To GUARD AGAINST
FLOOD DISASTER
Will Examine All Dams That Are
Higher Than Towns
of State q

In view of the flood and fire d. saster
at Austin. Pa. the Jersey state a~shor-
tiles have been prompted to consider
the conditions and the possibilities, II
any exist, for a similar catastrophe in
this State
While there are no instances that
parallel the conditions of the little
Pennsylvania town there are several
places surrounded by high water either
in canals or reservoirs which may rest
under a possible danger from inunda-
ton.
The matter Of canals is governed by
the Public Utilities Board. and Engi-
neeer George w Belts states that a
personal investigation viii be made of
the several places to determine If dan
gerous conditions exist.
There are no high dams in this state
that know of" said Mr. Belts, "hav-
ing town or city below. as is the case
in Pennsylvania, but it is up to us to
determine just what conditions exist
and If there is any possibility of sim
liar accident"
Morris Canal Above BoOnt0n.
The Morris canal at Boonton is
above the town and is fed by Lake
Hopatcong There is also a large dam
at Columbia. in Warren county. which
is used for electric light power. Tuis
dam Is new and is built OF concrete. the
former dam having broken away with
out extensive damage.
The Morris canal, which extends half
around the town of Hackettstown, is
damned up and runs on a much higher
level than the town. The banks of this
canal washed out some time ago and
did considerable damage. and If the
available water at that time had been
greater the food would have reached
the town and much greater damage
would have resulted.
The Public Utilities Board will send
ar engineer TO visit these and other
places and determine the exact eondi-
tions with view toward preventing
such a disaster In this State as has
been visited upon Pennsylvania.

McNamaras Go to Prison Tonight

Mrs. La Toilette maintains that chill

does not believe that the nurse should
watch the children, the mother watch
the nurse and the father watch the
mother to see that she does her duty
by the child. AS soon as 1t is old
enough to 60 about at all the child
should be given a certain OF
liberty. At first 1t may have q couple
of rooms in which 1t may roam about
to its hearts content. Then there
should be the baby's corner of the
yard with It's inevitable sand pile and
its swing, perhaps, and benches, where
the baby may play for hours at a time
without being watched at all. AS II

p~erimenting for itself learns much
more than one would suppose. 1t finds
a hole in its little stocking and pokes
Its finger through, and such q lot OF
strange things happen while 1t Is quiet
~ investigating that strange space In
its stocking. The mother or nurse
who no along and slaps the baby

Investigations have committed should
be put in a straitiacket. for 1t is q

able. 1t should not be punished for
making Investigations. Many parents

for knowledge in the days OF baby
hood. The baby not only ands out
things, but 1t reasons about them and
can put two AID two together, as the
saying is, very soon in Its life. 1t is
Of course a great temptation to hold

AGED MOTHER
RESCUES SON
Owen kunath Couldn't Let
Go of Live Wire at

Owen Kunath, twenty-one years
old, of Glenn street, Rossville, had
a narrow escape from being electro
cuted about l o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, when he caught hold of a
live electric light wire in front of
his home. Kunath had cut a tree
down in front of his place and when
it fell to the ground it carried the
wire with 1t. In attempting to put
the wire aside Kunath caught hold
of it and received the shock of a
thousand volts of the current
through his body.
Writing in pain with the deadly
current burning his flesh, Kunath
could not let go his hold on the
wire. His screams brought his
mother, Mrs. Irene Kunath, about
sixty years old, who attempted to
pull her son away from the wire.
She too received a shock that
knocked her down. Mrs. Kunath
made several attempts and finally
dragged her son away from the wire
by his heels.
Mr.. Kunath, who is associated
in the ice business with his brother,
Edward Kunath, at Rossville, had
MS right hand severely burned and
is today suffering from shock as the
result of the current passing through
his body. He was attended by DR..
r. E. Meyers, of Tottenville, who
dressed his wounds and put the
man in bed. DR.. Meyers happened
to be nearby at the time of the &C.
cident and 500 revived the man
who was nearly exhausted from the
struggle to get away from the wire
and the shock.
The accident caused considerable
excitement in Rossville at the time.
Mr.. Kunath, 1t was learned this
morning, was able to be about but
is still suffering from the burns on
his hand.

CIVIL SERVICE
AND ELECTIONS
Commission Wants Geran
Law Made Stronger.
fFrom the NEWS Correspondent

IRON N NE VS. CofTeSpoHdent-J
Trenton, Dec. 9:-The need of
amending the Geran election law to
remedy abuses or imperfections in
connection with the system or exam
ination of election officers, is shown
in the annual report of the State
Civil Service Commission, which was
submitted to Governor Wilson today.
The commission says in its report
that the result of the elections in
November appeared to justify the
favorable anticipations expressed in
several newspapers of the state be-
fore election concerning the work of
the election officers who had been
chosen through qualifying examina-
tons. Continuing the commission
says, that the elections were held
under a new law, with many strange
provisions, and using an entirely
new form of ballot. Yet, the gener-
al testimony is that because of the
intelligence of the elections officers
they were conducted with smooth
ness and absence of errors.
One thing criticized by the COM
mission Is the small attendance of
candidates for the position of cleo
llOu OIlcefS at the eAamlnatlOHS, anu
it is to meet this condition that the
commission earnestly suggests that
the law be amended. The report
shows that in the entire state 1885
candidates were nominated to the
commission for examination, of
whom 5,319 failed to appear. OF
the 6,516 who did appear 238 failed
to pass and 6,27S passed, we're
placed upon the eligible list and
were thus reported to the county
judges under the law.
