bridges accommodate 30 per cant. Of thu
station traffic; that these connections
have in several instances caused the
removal Of otherwise obstructang street
stairways. which have to be replaced in
the event Of tearing down the bridges;
that none but the most doubtful tech

The removal Of the connecting bridges;
that similar structures had been IN

PUBLIC SERVICE
OFFER REWARD
Wholesale Brsakags Of Arc
Lamps is Reported.

Wholesale breakage of street arc
lamps caused the cost of maintain
ing the street lighting system to rise
higher than ever before this year
and as result the Public Service
Electric Company, which is the los
er, will wage vigorous campaign
to curtail the practice. Broken in
ner and outer globes, carbon sticks
and holders caused the heaviest loss,
but in a number of cases practically
entire lamps have been destroyed.
The work seems to be that of
young cuiprits ranging from boys
about 10 years old to young men,
who, it is declared, throw stones at
the lamps in the outlying districts of
the city. The most severe break
age has been caused in tht western
and northern sections of the city.

fers q reward of $40 to each person
giving information that will lead to
the arrest and conviction Of persons
damaging or in any way tampering
with the lighting system.

TO TRANSMIT
CAMPAIGN COIN
Perth Ambey Trust Co.
Agrees to Assist.

Theodore Degenring acting for the
Perth Amboy Trust Company this
morning notified w. G. McAdoo, vice
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee that the local bank will
receive and transmit subscriptions to
the Democratic, Republican and Pro-
gressive National Committees. This
action was taken by the officials of
the trust company after a communi-
cation had been received from Mr..
McAdoo asking the local trust COM
pany to join forces with other banks
and trust companies throughout the
country in this matter.
The plan is heartily indorsed by
Governor Woodrow Wilson. In fair
ness to all parties Mr.. McAdoo, al
though acting for Democratic Ma
tional Committee, has solicited the
same privileges for both the Republi-
can and Progressive Committees.
This Is first time that such plan has
been carried out In a presidential
election.
The Democratic National Commit
tee desires to elect Governor Wilson
president, with the aid of public SUBJ
scriptions and not by corporation
money and crooked methods. To
carry out the idea 1t was necessary
to ask the cooperation of banks and
trust companies throughout the coun-
try.

BIG MOB CHASE
BOLD ROBBERS
Two Men HoId-Up and AS
sauIt Abraham Weiss at
Maurer This Morning.
DOCTOR ATTENDS VICTIM
Draw RevoIvers on Pursuers
and Escape With S17--
Suspect Woodbridge Men.

Two bold robbers, believed to be
knagn by the authorities, held up,
bfstally assaulted and robbed Abraham
Weiss. of POP New Brunswick avenue,
in broad daylight at Maurer, shortly
before noon today. He declares they
beat and kicked him and riffled his
pockets of SIT They were pursued by
an angry mob of people but held them
at bay at the point of two revolvers
long enough to make their escape in the
direction Of Sewaren. The victim was
taken home by milk dealer and given
medical attendance. The police are at
work on the case.
The attack was made on the road
leading from Maurer to Amboy avenue
near Woodbridge creek few minutes
before IL O'Clock noon. Owing to the
fact that Weiss is seriously injured
from kicks and is suffering from shock,
little concerning the holdup can be OBJ
tanned from him at this time. It ap-
pears the robbers accosted him as he
was walking near the Pennsylvania
railroad bridge which spans the road
leading from Amboy avenue to Maurer.
He was knocked down and kicked in
sensible and his money taken.
Almost immediately after the bold at
s.,k milk dealer named Christensen
happened along and found the uncon-
scious form Of Weiss. He got glimpse
of tvs men he believed to be the rob-
bers as they were fleeing towards the
Central railroad tracks. He gave pur-
suit and alarmed residents and work
men about Maurer. Soon there gath
cred a crowd Of hundred or more peo-
pie and the robbers were followed
northward along the Central tracks
AS soon as the holdup men had crossed
the Central draw bridge over Wood
bridge creek they drew revolvers and
halted the crowd. They then made
their escape towards Sewaren.
Men in the crowd of pursuers recog
nized one of the robbers as Wood
bridge man and the other as chun
whom ne had often seen with the other
1t is therefore believed by the auth
critics that the men live in Woodbridge
This was the second holdup within a
few weeks occurring on the Maurer
road. A Woodbridge man complained
to the police few weeks ago about be-
ing held up by gypsies.

Mystery surrounds the disappear

MANY BASKETS
C0MPLA|NED0F
Purchasers at Open Market
Claim They Do Not Receive
Correct Quantity.
SEALER TO INVESTIGATE
Working With State Author
tiles TO Have STANDARDIZED
tion Of Capacities.

Having learned of tn demand for
baskets that will hold standard
measures, through his experience at
tho public market, Henry Toft, su-
perintendent Of weights and meas
ures, is working in conjunction with
the state authorities for the adop-
pacity of baskets. Among COM
plants made to him have been sew
eral from people who purchased
fruits or vegetables in baskets and
received smaller quantity than had
been expected.
1t Is intended to have legislation
enacted to provide that all baskets
shall be capable of holding sixteen
quarts or that the capacity of bas-
kets shall be stamped o. them. Es-
tablishment of a uniform sixteen
quart or half-bushel basket seems tC
be favored. Purchasers of products
by the basket would be certain OF
receiving a standard measure. AT
present baskets are made to hold
from ten to sixteen quarts and from
general appearance Of baskets by
the average householder it is difficult
to learn just how much they hold
For this reason the sale of some
fruits and vegetables, particularly
potatoes, by weight is favored at the
present time. In event of purchase
by this method the purchaser of 8
bushel is even likely to receive more
than if the product were sold by
standard dry measure.
Because of the fact that most far.
mers own spring scales of the
thumb-screw adjustable type, SealeI
Toft has arranged to permit Their
use under his watch at the public
market. Their general Lse through
out the city has been prohibited, be.
cause they cannot ,e sealed as cor.
rect. Mr.. Toft conferred with the
state superintendent on the subject
and received permissio to allow
their use at the market SO long as he
watched them.
