Salem, Mass, Oct. 3O.-That
crowd of strikers, armed with revol

from one of their number few min
utes before Anna Lopizzo was killed in
Lawrence last January, and then pro-

just before the Lopizzo girl fell at
Union and Garden streets.

The extremely critical condition OF

HOW AUTOISTS

Trenton, Aug. 30-In his crusade
against dishonest weights and meas
ures, William L. Waldron, state
superintendent of weights and meas
ures, has discovered that AUTOMOBILE
lists are being cheated in their pur-
chases of gasoline. Superintendent
Waldron has just added to his ex-
hibit of crooked weights and meas
ures two five gallon" gasoline cans.
Each can when tested was found to
be short two gallons.
Investigation by Mr.. Waldron dis
closed the fact hal another car vas
built inside of each one of them. The
job was so cleverly executed hat it
was necessary to cut open the out
side can before the cause of the
shortage could be determined. The
garage proprietor and the oil dealer
from whom the ans were confiscat-
ed were prosecuted and found guilty,
both being fined. The cans were
found in Bayonne and Jersey City.

GpecfdI to the EVENING NEWS

Metuchen, Aug. 30:-Inspectors
of the Pennsylvania Railroad have
been at work for some time past en-
~deavoring to trap careless engineers.
Last night two of them caught eight
careless engine drivers in a few
hours time. Stationed at a signal
bridge near here two men would put
out certain lights on The signals.
When an engineer sees a signal
light out he Is supposed to bring his
train to a full stop. A train hand is
supposed to report it to the signal
tower and the engineer is not sup
posed to proceed except upon a writ
ten order. 1t is said that most of
the engineers followed rules about
coming to a stop and reporting, but
a number of them proceeded toward
destination after a mere verbal or
der to do so. The cast iron rule is

lation of this that at least half a
dozen engineers will take an en-
forced vacation of six weeks as a re-
suit of the work Of the inspectors
last night. This work of trapping en-
ginemen is in line with the policy of
the company to make ~railroading

CRUELTY TALE
At JAMESBURG
Lecks Pigs in Barn to De-
YOUR Dead Horse.

Jamesburg, Aug. 30:-Agents of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals are securing the surround
ing country with a warrant for the ar
rest of Albert Pierson, who has depart
ed for parts unknown, leaving a tale OF
cruelty behind that has baffled the
minds of all knowing it's circumstances
to equal, even with the widest imag-
nation.
Pierson is charged by James R. Will
son, superintendent of the J%amesburg
Ice Company, of defaulting in payment
for a team Of horses he purchased from
him and the latter has now lodged a
further complaint following the dis
covery Of his dastardly attempt to
avoid the recovery of the horses by
Mr.. Wilson.
Tho charge of cruelty WAS lodged
against Pierson on the discovery by
Mr.. Wilson that Pierson had deliber-
ately locked three pigs in a barn with
a horse that had been dead almost a
weak leaving two others starve to
death, tying a cow with a small calf to
a tree in a barren field to die and lock-
ing several other animals in other parts
of the premises to share similar fates.
When found the pigs in the stable that
could walk were devouring a badly de-
cayed horse that had starved to death
in the barn, two others were so weak
that they were unable to walk and the
COW tied in the field had eaten part OF
a rope that tied it in an effort to keep
itself alive.
The climax of the a s utter lack of
human feel was revealed Thursday
when the other horse that Mr.. Wilson
had thought Pierson had taken with
him was found tied to a tree in a dense
thicket near the Gravel Hill crossing
near this place, starved to death and
also in a badly decomposed state. II
showed hat it had made a terrific
struggle to free itself and in its des-
peration had eaten all the bark from
the tree to which it had been tied when
deserted.
Pierson is an ex-State Home inmate
and several months came to Mr.. Will
son and tried to buy a team valued at
$500, but when the latter found he had
no money sold him a cheaper team for
$l75. He put down but $75 and gave
a chattel mortgage for security. The
note was renewed by Pierson at the end
OF six months and shortly before the
note was again due promised to settle
in full.
When seen about this matter Pierson
had become so absolute devoid Of hui
man pride that both he and his wife
went about the place in an almost nude
condition. All the clothing he wore
was an old ragged pair of overalls while
Mrs. PierSOn was clothed ONLY in an old
overcoat that had seen better days.

POORLY DONE
State Commissioner Discus
ses Oiling at Curves.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

VI fOhN t"c VIZ Co OHitNt.t
Trenton, Aug. 30:-The frequent
recent automobile accidents caused
by the cars skidding on the curves
Of oiled roads led Colonel Edwin A.
Stevens, state road commissioner,
yesterday afternoon to discuss the
question of the contour Of road sur
faces and the methods of oiling. He
declared that oiling is usually SO
badly done that the State Road De-
partment has been compelled to re-
fuse to make any grants to local
authorities for this purpose. He
said:
Il am very glad that the motor
lists are taking up the proper con-
tour of road surfaces at curves and
the question of oiling the highways.
These are very important details.
s9here are some good examples of
y uryes in Atlantic county. These
= notonly shaped to facilitate
turning, but are properly widened
In a way to lessen the danger Of
%skidding. CLING Is usually badly
done, so badly that the department
has this year refused to make II
grants to local authorities for this
purpose. Oil, even when properly
applied, makes the road slippery.
Some of the lighter tars are being
tried in place of oil, and promise
good results as dust layers.
