WIDE SEARCH
FOR AUT0|STS
General Alarm for Party
Who Killed Child.

New Brunswick, May County
Detectives Peltier and Ferguson
have been at work trying to learn
the identity of the automobile party
which ran down and killed a four
year old boy on George road on
Wednesday afternoon. A good de-
scruption of the machine and the oc-
Gupants was secured. Detective Pei
tier traced the machine to Philadel-
phia. The Philadelphia police are
assisting and have sent out a general
alarm.
Detective Ferguson had a talk
with Herbert J. Fuller, of the Blake
ley Motor Company, of Newark, who
was in the auto moving van of Heinz
Brothers Of Gutenberg, and was
near the of the accident. He
said that there were four people in
the automobile, that the driver wore
a derby hat; that a man was seated
beside him and that either two men
or a man and woman were In the
rear seat.
1t has been suggested that a law
should be passed providing that the
keepers of toll bridges and the
~gaekeepers at ferries leading from
the state should be required to keep
a record OF the number of every ma
Chime passing into TEE state and
from the state. If the keeper of the
toll bridge across he Delaware had
kept such a record, it would have
been an easy matter to trace this
particular machine, owing to the
good description which has been OBJ
tanned of it.
