FAMILY ROUTED
BY EARLY FIRE
Had to Flee in Night Clothes
to Escape.

Routed by an early morning blaze
in their home at 572 New Brunswick
avenue today, Mr.. and Mrs. Benja-
min Jensen and their children were
forced to flee in their night clothes
after narrow escape from suffoca-
ton and burning. The two and a
half story frame house in which
they lived at New Brunswick avenue
and Convery Place was gutted, and
damaged to the extent of $500 ac-
cording to Martin Momberg, the
owner. Most of the household be-
longings of the Jensen family were
ruined or damaged by fire and water.
The fire probably originated from
an oil stove in small room adjoin-
ing the kitchen on the first floor of
the house, according to an investiga-
ton made by First Assistant Chief
William P. O'Hara. 1t consumed a
part of the stairs almost before any
of the other woodwrk, thus nearly
cutting off means Of escape for the
family. An alarm of fire was sound
ed from box 85, near the City Hospi-
tai, by Otto Fredericksen, of 101
First street.
First Assistant Fire Chief O'Hara
was slightly bruised in a fall from
the stairs. Unawares that the top of
the stairs had been burned away, he
ran up several steps and plunged
over back of the stairs.

have no grounds for prosecution of
the contractor. Most of the con-
crete piles have been driven, but
the superstructures and two abut-

much delay has been occasioned in
driving piles which had to be done
while the tide was low.
Commuters from Sewaren and
Woodbridge will be glad when the
bridge Is again made safe for trolley
transportation. Ever since the
bridge was condemned last year they
have had to be sorely inconvenienced
by having to transfer at the struc-
ture and walk across, many times

of the labor leaders who have been
on trial for nearly two months,
charged with murder of Anne Lopiz-
20 during the strike period at Law
renee, Ettor, Gioyannitti and Caruso,
were acquitted today. The jury
reached its verdict last night, but
the court refused to receive it until
this morning.
Joseph j. Ettor and Arturo Clio
vannitti were organizers of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, and
Joseph Caruso was a leader of the

the three men, who have been in
prison for nearly a year, found them
selves facing other indictments.
Caruso was charged with assault and
attempt to murder on the night Of
January 20. He pleaded not guilty
and was released. Another indict-
ment charged Ettor and Giovannitti
with conspiracy to induce riot. Their
bonds were placed at $500. 1t Is
not likely that the charges now pre-
ferred against the men will come to
trial. Their bonds were promptly
furnished.
