NO EVIDENCE
OF FOUL PLAY
Burial of Bon Fire Victim Is
Permitted Today.

Following an exhaustive examina-
ton, Chief of Police Burke has come
to the conclusion that Stephen 1o-
silk did not meet with any foul play
when he WAS fatally burned at yard
OF the Raritan Copper Works last
Sunday. The police have examined
every obtainable witness and pro-
nounce Yosifk's death as accidental.
They find no truth whatsoever in re-
ports that the man was tied and
placed in the fire.
The burial of the victim, which
was halted by the police on Tues
day, was permitted to be held today,
and the investigation into the death
made upon orders from the prosccu-
tors office have been ended.
Chief Burke says Yosifk had laid
down on a plank, one end of which
he had elevated on two bricks, and
went to sleep at the side of bon
fire in the factory yard. He rolled
into the fire and was so horribly
burned that he died about twelve
hours later.

Accused Of Attacking Girl
Near Trenton.
GpectaI bu United PresS Wire,

apectaI By United Prsss Wlre.
Trenton, Dec. 6.-Edward Chap
man, a negro was arrested today on
suspicion of being the man who bru-
tally assaulted Luella Marshall Tues
day evening. He denied any know
ledge of the crime. Authorities said
he was seen about the scene Of the
assault several days ago. He will
be put through the third degree.
Miss Marshall is in critical condi-
tion.
Miss Marshall, who IS thirty years
old and keeps house for her brother, o
prosperous farmer, was walking along
the old Pennington road, west of the
city, when she was attacked. She was
struck down from behind with heavy
bludgeon, which fractured her skull
Another blow of the same weapon
broke the bones of her jaw. The mur
derous assailant then dragged his un
resisting victim into field back of the
roadway fence.
This fence Is constructed Of barbed
wire, and the man dragged his victim
over the barbs, ripping off her clothing
and tearing long gashes In the flesh
Before he had completed his fiendish
work he had torn the young woman e
clothing to ribbons.
Miss Agnes Eggert, who lives in the
vicinity, saw man hurrying out OF
the wooded field where the assault took
place. 1t was so dark that Miss Eggert
WAS unable to say afterward whether
the man was white or black. He had
scarcely vanished from sight when
Miss Eggert heard groans and traced
the sound to the field where Miss Mar
shall lay. An ambulance was summon
ed and the countryside was informed of
the outrage.
The feeling over the assault Is In
tense in the vicinity where 1t occurred.
and the police fear that any suspicious
characters that may not be able to give
a good account Of themselves to the
farmers and citizens looking for the
fugitive will fare badly at their hands

Of Money.
AS CHANGE OF A BILL
Benjamin Wander, Saloon
keeper Will Be Arraigned
Before Recorder kehoe,

Charged with giving worthless pa
per as 50 in bills in part change for

loonkeeper of High and Washington
streets, Is to he arraigned before
Recorder Kehoe at 7 o'clock tonight.
His accuser Is Joseph Lukich, of $50
Catherine street. He AYERS that
Wander gave him a $40 bill, ninety
cents in silver and several pieces of
green paper in change for a $40 bill
when he bought two five-cent drinks
in his place Tuesday night.
Lukich appeared before Recorder
Kehoe last night and had a warrant
sworn out for the accused saloon
keeper. The court ordered that tho
defendant be arrested on sight and
Jailed at once, as 1t held such a
practice to be demoralizing to the
community. According to the COM
plainants story, he with a friend
stopped in the saloon in question for
a glass Of beer after having returned
from night school session. Lu-
kich laid down $40 bill.
The saloonkeeper asked II that
was the smallest denomination of
money he had and on being informed
1t was, went to four men seated at a
table. He returned. and out of Lu-
kich's sight counted out the money
He placed the silver change in one
pile and placed the alleged worthless
bills with a gold-back $40 bill on tor
close by on the bar. Lukich unsus-
pectingly grabbed the roll and placed
! it in his pocket. The swindle was
discovered after a half hour later
when his friend asked to borrow q
couple of dollars with which to pay
some society dues.
The worthless bills were of the
same size as paper money and greer
in color. The seemed to be an ad
vertisement for some credit house.

MANY RESIDENTS HAVE
never PAID FOR CITY
WATER, BOARD STATES
Over $4,000 Outstanding at Pre-
sent Time --Surprising Facts Made
Public at Session Last Night.
DEPARTMENT WANTS INVENTORY

There Is to be an inventory of wa
ter department property and an ac-
counting of it's finances before def
mite action can be taken to change
rates and charges, according to a de-
cision made at a meeting of the
Board of Water Commissioners last
night. The general accounting will
be made for the use of the Public
Utility Commission, as well as the
water board. To that end, one or two
clerks sent out by the Public Utility
Commission to do such work, will be
requested.
The amount of business handled by
the water department was approx
mately S134,000, an increase of
about $4,000 over that OF the pre-
vious year, and water fees totaling
about $4,000 are still outstanding,
according to statements made to the
board by superintendent Croweil and
Clerk Haney last night. Some con-
sumers, Including a large manufac-
turing concern, have never paid wa
ter bills and others have not paid
for four or five years, i. was stated.
1t is lawful under provision of an or
diuance, for the department to shut
off water where payment of bills is
not made within three months, the
superintendent stated, but it was diff
ficult to keep tab on the delinquents
because payments were made to the
collector Of revenue. The discussion
developed that mistake was being
made and that the water departments
should make it's own collections OF
water charges. Under the present
system it becomes necessary to keep
double set of books. Charges are
recorded in the water department S
office, but that department fails to
know what payments are made on

the bills, until it consults the collec-
tor of revenue. In that way several
delinquents have been lost sight of.
AS a means of accounting for wa
ter used and wasted in schools, it had
been suggested among members of
the board to have meters installed in
all school buildings. superintendent
Crowell reported that the total cost
for the same would be fS45. The re-
port was laid on the table to enable
the water board to confer with the
Board of Education in an effort to
have 1t pay for the meters. The
commissioners concluded that mas
much as water was supplied free of
charge to schools, it seemed only fair
that they should install meters in an
effort to check losses.
Members of the board are consid-
erlng an assignment of contract for
placing feed pipes at Runyon, from
John Quinlan to J. NJ. Crowell, son Of
superintendent Crowell. A commun-
ication was received from Mr. Cro-
we'll, stating that Mr.. Quinlan had
, found it expedient to assign to him
his contract for the work. The let
ter was received and referred to a
committee of the whole. which is to
meet subject to call from the chair.
Chairman Fraser of the real estate
committee, reported further efforts
had been made in vain to purchase
right of way for placing a part of the
new twenty-four inch main across the
land of the r. G. Parckard Company.
He stated all papers on the subject
had been turned over to City Attor-
ney Hommann for institution of con-
demnation proceedings.
superintendent Crowel's report
showed there had been made twenty
three taps during the past month.
