SECURED HELP
OF BLACKSMITH
Prosecutor Knows How Hen
ry Got Rid of ShackIes.

Ever since Frank Henry, Metu-
chen's polite burglar, escaped from
Chief Flaherty with a load of shot in
his person and a pair of handouts on
his wrists, about a month ago., the
police and Prosecutor SilZer and his
assistant, Joseph e, Stricken, have
been trying to find out how the burg
lar finally got rid of the shackles. AS
already related, he showed up in
Brooklyn next day without the hand
cuffs and persuaded a doctor to keep
him in his house while he was recov-
ering from his wounds.
nenry, who is now in the county
jail here, has steadily refused to tell
who relieved him of the manacles.
But it is understood that the Prose
cltor's office has pretty nearly cleared
up this part of the case, and that
the responsible party is a blacksmith
whose shop is not far from Roosevelt.
1t was during the big strike of en-
ployes of the chemical works at that
place when Henry's last burglary
took place. 1t is said that the burg
lar presented himself at the smithy
with a tale that he was a striker who
had been wrongfully arrested and
begged for assistance. The black
smith, his heart touched, struck off
the handouts and Henry went on
his way.
1t is not known whether any pro-
ceedings viii be taken against the
blacksmith, if this story is correct.

Will Lead Campaign for New

Congressman Scully's associates

Chairman Scully and his associ-

plain on this subject by stating that
he prefers a large number of small

Mr.. Morgenthau says that similar

DISCUSTED
WITH OFFICIAL
City Marshal Walters Neg
Iects Duty May be 0usted,

City Marshal William W. Walters
has again become highly neglectful In
his duties to the city, much to the
inconvenience of the police and per-
sons having cases in the police court.
Prisoners are forced to remain in the
lookup for days and sometimes a
week after commitment, and there
live on crackers and cheese, until the
marshal feels disposed to take them
away to the county Jail or can find
someone to do the work for him. He
Is seldom on hand when needed in
police court as was demonstrated last
night.
The case of what to do about the
city marshal has grown to such pro-
portions Of late that city officials and
those who put Walters in office and
have helped him, seem to feel that
there must be a change. Walters
has been found to be neglectful in
every phase of his work for the city,
despite the fact that he Receives SIS
a month. He fails to be in attend
ance at the court hour, oftentlmes
does not have prisoners at hand, eth
err because they had no telephones in
their homes or he could not find them
in when he did call. He is gener-
ally late in transferring prisoners to
the county jail and it has even come
to the attention of the police that
some of his prisoners never reached
the county jail.
Under Walters method of mot"
doing things in police court, it be-
ONE necessary for prisoners to walk
over to the s~ergeantts desk and pay
fines or go and lock themselves up
if the court orders a Jail term. Mon
day night a mar was fined IS. He
walked out of the, court room and
stood in the doorway Of police head
quarters for an Observation-Disclosures
steered him up to the sergeant s desk
and the fine was paid. The marshal
was in the court room but a few min
utes last night, despite the fact that
court session lasted nearly an hour
and on one occasion he was much
needed. Chief Of Police Burke again
acted in his stead, although not re-
quired to do SO. Walters was not
seen in the court room this morning
and there was talk of conducting a
search for him that some warrants
might be served.
Susie Paul, the girl arrested We'd
nesday morning on a charge of steal
ing about $500, committed to jail in
default of $4,000 bail, is still in the
local Jail. She would no doubt be
suffering from a diet of cheese and
crackers, as have many other pris-
oners, were it not for the fact that
Sergeant Clarkson Durham took pity
on the girl and procured some di-
gestible food for her.

BIG INCREASE
IN POPULATION
Vital Statistics and Immiqra-
ton Brings Total to $4,000.

Perth Amboy is growing at the
rate of one thousand population per
year, according to the reports of vital
statistics compiled in the office of
City Clerk Wilbur La Roe and other
data from various authorities. Dur
ing the year of 1911 there were 1.043
births and 470 deaths. This alone
shows that an increase of 573 in the
population for the past year. In adj
dition to this the local steamship
agents say that at least 1000 for
eigners from Europe come to this
city yearly, but one-half of that num-
Der return to the "Old Country"
For the first seven months of this
year there were 649 births and 80
deaths, making an increase of 339 to
this city's population, minus the for
~eigners who have already arrived
here during that time. From the fig
ures it is a certainty that the popu-
lation this year will be increased at
least thirty-three per cent over last
year.
In 1911 there were AIT marriages
while $50 is the total count for 1912
so far. Cupid during this year has
been very lax as the most popular
marriage period has been passed
and it is evident that fewer ceremo-
MES will be performed during 1912
than in 1911. To this late there
have been 80 deaths in this city
during the year of 1912. The death
rate for this portion of 1912 far ex-
ceeds hat of 1911.
With the population of this city at
32,251 in 1910 and with the fore
going mentioned increase as shown
by figures, then it is evident that at
least $4,000 now reside In this city.
The rate of increase this year Is
greater than last year owing to the
recent labor troubles.
