WILL NOT ORDER PROBE
OF 0CCOQUAN ESCAPES
Commissioners Think Number
of Getaways Has Been
Remarkably Small.

Declaring that the records of the work
house at Occoquan show that since it's
establishment, nineteen months ago, only
eighty out of total of 4,293 prisoners
committed to the institution have escaped
and that of this number thirty were
captured, Commissioner Rudolph today
stated that the Commissioners are salts
fed with conditions in the institution and
will not order an investigation Of escapes
Of prisoners therefrom.
The recent escapes from Occoquan Of
Joseph Murray, Ralph r. Sears and Jo-
seph Waumsley, alleged 'fiimfiammers,
who were sentenced November last to
terms of eleven months and twenty-nine
days each, resulted yesterday in Judge

The Commissioners say they have at
hand all necessary data along this line
and that they will be glad to have it ex-
amined by Judge Pugh or Attorney Given.
The number of escapes. in the opinion
of the Commissioners. is unusually small
in view of the fact that the prisoners are
employed on roads and other outdoor
work under guards.

DR.. SHELDON c. DAVIS
IS GRANTED DIVORCE
Chief Justice CIabaugh Criti-
cises Wife in Awarding
the Decree.

Sheldon G. Davis. a dentist. was award
ed today by Chief Justice Clabaugh a de-
cree of absolute divorce from his wife,
Grace NJ. Davis. Edward Knieriem. a
wealthy resident of New York, and who
is referred to throughout the testimony
as the count" was named as Correspond
dent.
In the course Of his criticism of the
wife's conduct, in an opinion which he
delivered in open court, the chief Justice
said he could not tell whether the woman
was enamored by the title of the for
eigner or by the man. He suggested that
such was frequently the case in other
phases of life, as though limiting strongly
at an opposition to certain international
marriages.
Expenses Exceeded Income.
The testimony satisfied him. the court
said, that Mrs. Davis. both while at At
lantic City and in New York, before the
divorce proceedings. lived in manner
far beyond the total income of her hus-
band. let alone such portions Of 1t as DR..
Davis was able to send to her. For rent
alone. he said. she spent more than the
total she received from her husband. !.
The Chief Justice took occasion to
praise the conduct OF the husband. say
ing it presented lone OF the most re-
markable and beautiful examples OF the
devotion of a husband In spite Of the
caprices and weaknesses Of the wife. II
showed the husband to have been as
much the lover as he was before mar
rage and that he showered on his wife
the little attentions. usually appreciated
by women. which men remember during
counting days but too readily forget after
marriage"
Attorneys. Pack. Hinton & Pack repre-
scented the husband. Attorney John Doyle
Carmody appeared for Mrs. Davis.

WHAT ABOUT THE FOURTH?

The time Is rapidly approaching
when Perth Amboy should give seri-
GUS attention TO another sane
Fourth of July celebration, After
the experience last year 1t is hardly
likely that a parade will be very
popular. With the thermometer
ranging at 100 or more In the
shade, marching owe paved streets
at the noon hour is anything but
sane.
The ordinance prohibiting the sale
Of fireworks of any kind, including
all explosives, should be strictly en-
forced this year, however, as 1t has
been the few years past. The safe
and sane Fourth of July idea is
growing in all sections of the
try. Perth Amboy was the first city
in New Jersey to take 1t up. Since
then many other cities have passed
similar ordinances and still others
are doing so now, Perth Amboy
cannot afford to take a backward
step.
But it is desirable that some form
Of celebration be arranged that will
take the place of old time slaughter.
Probably the playground commits
sion will see its way clear to give
the matter serious consideration as
! soon as they have the playground In
| operation and the youngsters of the
city may be cared for there IN an
appropriate name At any rate.
the time is arriving when we should
be thinking about what is to be done
IN order that the reputation of the
city not to do anything by halves,
can be upheld.
