P. H. REN0UF IN
TITANIC GRAVE
Well Known Carpenter of
Roosevelt Was Returning
from Visit in England.
LILLE REkOUF RESCUED
Members of Union Last
Night Cast Into Gloom When
His Death Is Reported.

Among the heroes who went down
to a glorious death on the Titanic,
few hours after the collision with
an iceberg early Monday morning,
April Is, was Peter Fl. Renouf, OF
the Crome section of Roosevelt.
This fact did not become known un-
til last night, when a relative of the
missing man appeared at the meet
ing of Carpenters and Joiners'
Union, Local No. 65, and Informed
the brothers that one of the young
est members of the local had met
an untimely end In the greatest mar
Inc disaster of all history. Renouf
left last December to spend few
months with relatives in England,
and was returning home on the Ill
fated steamship.
The records of the list of surviv-
ors and the missing in this tragedy
of the sea show that Peter II. Rem
ouf was lost in the accident, al
, though a Lille Renouf was reported
as among the survivors who arrived
in New York city on the Carpathia
last Thursday night. 1t is not
known what relation the surviving
Lille Renouf is to Peter H. Renouf,
presumably his daughter. Members
of Local No. 65 said today that Mrs.
Renouf was visiting relatives in
Elizabeth during her husbands 30

Renouf Joined the local branch OF

PT0MAINE: IN
CANNED PEAS
Mrs. Katherine Br0gg9r and
2 Daughters Affected.

Two little children and a despair
ing mother lowered at deaths door
Sunday night from ptomaine poison,
caused, IL IS believed, by canned
peas eaten by the family during
supper hour. The afflicted were
Mrs. Katherine w. Brogger, of 1913
First street, and two daughters,
Misses Eleanore and Hazel. The
mother and children have recovered,
DR.. NJ. S. Meinzer states, and the
daughters are able to go about their
school tasks. Mrs. Brogger, who
was seriously affected, Is still weak
from the attack.
According to Mrs. Brogger the
poisoning would undoubtedly have
proven fatal but for the fact that
the peas and juice In the cans were
not mixed and warmed over, as
usual, but the fluid was drained off
and about cwo-tnirds of the peas
added to q vegetable soup.

nj 10 the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS,
Woodbridge, April 23:--Wbtle tbs
wind was blowing the hardest about
$50 o'clock this morning fire was
discovered in Hungarian tenement
house located in the extreme south
ern end Of the town, opposite the
Federal Terro Gotta Works. The
flames started from an rheated
stove in the house owned by John
Nash. This building was totally de-
stroyed, the occupants barely es-
Gaping with their lives. The loss is
about $4,000. From this structure
the flames spread to the adjoining
also occupied by Hungarian famt-
lies. The tenants escaped In their
night clothes. The house was Quilted
to the extent Of about $1,000.
The whistle on the Federal Terra
Gotta Works was the first to give the
alarm. 1t was not until half hour
later that the news of the fire reach
I'd the center of the town and the
alarm calling out the fire department
was sounded. The firemen responded
promptly and were soon on the scene,
but by the time they arrived the Nash
building was doomed and the Elias
structure was burned. The fremen
did excellent work, preventing the
flames from spreading in the gale
that was blowing, and at the same
time extinguishing the flames in the
Elias house before it was completely
destroyed. Several of the fremen
were overcome with smoke.
The tenants of the building saved
practically nothing. The losses on
the property are practically covered
by insurance.

Washington, April 20: - Death
cries of the Titanic 1,400 victims re-
echoed through the senate building
today when Third officer Herbert j.
Pittman described the sinking of the
liner to the senate committee,
Prayers, cries and moans, q
mighty chorus OF woe, rose from
the trapped victims" The British
officer told the pathetic story in an
almost stolid manner, but even he
begged the committee not to press
him along that line.
1T was continual moan for
about an hour" he said, at dying
away gradually"
Is that all you care to say about
that aspect2" he was asked,
Il rather you let that out alto
gether" The brawny Britain plead
ed, and his voice choked with emo
| tion.
Tears came to the eyes of many
women in the room, even senators
! shaded their eyes, as he described
the scenes of the midnight horror.

clared he knew the officers were
warned Sunday of icebergs on their
route and that the bergs were chart
ed on the ships map. He was
asleep and hardly awakened when

| tale of terror. He said Ismay met
him near a life-boat and asked that
/ the boat be loaded with women. He
said Captain Smith gave the order

forty passengers, and SIX OF the

WILL. GIVE AID
TO PLAYGROUND
Shade Tree Board to Beauti-
fy Water Works Site.

Matthew Weirup, president of the
shade tree board. stated today that
If the playground commissioners de-
cided to have the playground at the
old water works site then help OF a
financial nature would be forthcom-
ing from the Shade Tree Commits
sion. Several months ago the mem
bers of the shade tree board decided
to improve and beautify the site.
When the playground board viewed
It's recently they also approved or 1t
as site for n park and recreation
place but made no official decision.
The Shade Tree Commission at

missions were banded together the
place would be more beautiful and
better equipped.

CITY ORDERED
TROLLEY WORK
Police May Not Press Charge
Against Public Service.

1t is not likely that the police will
press a charge for violation of a city
ordinance against Patrick A. Muir
ply, a Public Service construction
foreman arrested Saturday night
when he had a gang Of men eXca-
waiting on Smith street near State
street. His arrest followed reop-
enlng of hostilities by Public Ser
vice employees against the police.
When Acting Mayor GarTetson and
Chairman f. A. Seaman, of the
street and sewer committee, inter
ceded at Murphy's arra1gnment last
night and said the city had ordered
the improvements made, the police
did not press the charge.
Recorder Kehoe said Patrolman
Calvin acted perfectly within his
rights and in the discharge of his
duties when he arrested Murphy and
told the officer he had complaint
made out in readiness to be signed
by the officer. 1t was not signed
and the recorder stated as the case
rested there was nothing before the
court. Clifford I. Voorhees,, of New
Brunswick, appeared as counsel for
the defendant. He told of the order
Of the city for the improvements
and exhibited n letter to that effect
signed by City Clerk LaRoe
AS the subject now stands Murphy
Is not under arrest and the Public
Service Railway company appears to
be waging its fight against the city
and Its policemen. 1t seems that
because of Patrolman Calvin's act
in arresting Murphy shortly before
midnight Saturday, the trolley offic-
ials have left an excavation at the
city's principal corner. 1t has not
been touched since Saturday night
and is declared dangerous to all
kinds of traffic. A Public Service Of
fetal said today one Of the rails was
held in place by two small pieces of
iron and II they gave way a car
might run of the track and cause a
fatality He maintained that the
trolley company had acted within
its rights and said It was simply a
case OF the police getting back at
the company because they were in
terefered with when attempting to
ride free of charge.
Indications are that not only uni
| formed officers viii continue to ride
| free, but plain clothes men as well,
thereby entering the city in the fight
being waged by police Of other com
munities against the Public Service
A repetition of the trolley-police
! fight of a year ago seems inevitable
unless Public Service heads give gen
eral orders effective throughout the
state, that would let all police ofFc-
ers ride free of charge, whether OF
not in uniform.

THROWS STOLEN MONEY
TO FRIEND IN CELL

The police today learned for a
certainty that George Klazer robbed
Mrs Annie Tolnoggi of $1s. The
lad steadfastly denied he had taken
the money. AS Michael Bohas, his
alleged accomplice, left the cell to
be arraigned last night, Klazer threw
the money in to another prisoner,
who gave it to the sergeant. This
aided the police In learning what
KIazer had done with the balance of
the money and this afternoon Pa
trolman Hartmann accompanied him
to It's hiding place.
Bohas was paroled in the custody
Of his parents. Klazer will probably
be returned to Jamesburg
