COMMITTEE TO MAKE
REPORT To ALDERMEN
ON P0L|CEMAN'S CASE
Statement Of the
Man Accused by
AvChen Read.
DENIES CHARGE

A statement by Patrolman An
drew Jensen concerning his alleged
m1streatment of Frank Avchen, a
merchant of Hall avenue, was read
and the case was generally discussed
at the committee meeting of the
Board of Aldermen last night. It
was left In the hands of the police
committee, which will probably make
report with recommendations at the
regular meeting of the Council to be
held Monday night. City Attorney
Hommann was questioned In regard
to the subject.
In his statement, Patrolman Jen-
sen flatly denies that he handled
Frank Avchen in an unduly rough
manner. He makes a statement of
what he, Chief of Police Burke and
other officers purport to be facts;
that Avchen was fined $5 for con-
tempt of court, that he would not pay
the fine at first and was ordered
locked up and that when summoned,
he resisted. Jensen took him by the
arm and he resisted furthed, it Is set
forth, with the result that Chief
Burke grabbed Avchin's other arm
and he was escorted towards the cell
department. He paid the fine and
was released.
Avchen dlsclaims statements made
that he was punched or beaten in any
way. In giving details of the incl
dent to a NEWS representative, he
said he had been pushed and handled
unnecessarily rough. He displayed
a bandage about his chest, where he
said he had been bruised by the
rough treatment. In case the action
of the council is not satisfactory 10
him. he states, he will urge his cnun-
sci in Newark to proceed with suit
against the patrolman. Avchen has
fled complaint with the aldermen
and demand is made for hearing
AlderrIen would not state today

might be held. Tmey Afe eeA49eslrous e1 "

He Accomplished
Much During
His Term.
APPROPRIATION

Speaking for the first time in this
city during the present campaign,
Congressman Thomas J. Scully, Of
South Amboy, while standing on the
platform at the banner raising in
the first ward, challenged his oppo-
nent for the seat in congress from
this district, Benjamin F. S. Brown,
OF Matawan, to present substantial
proofs that the present tncum bent,
Mr.. Scully, has not always voted on
the right side Of the question in the
House of Representatives, and has
not accomplished more for this dis
trict in the matter of waterway i'm
provements than any other congress-
man ever accomplished during the
history of the state.
Mr.. Scully made a direct reply to
the charges made by Mr. Brown, who
has the united support of the regu-
lar Republicans and the new Pro-
gressive element, on Thursday night
at meeting of the Young Mems Re-
publican Club, in this city, in which
he inferred that the Democratic con-
gressman was accepting credit for
work accomplished in the House by
his Republican predecessor, former
Congressman BENJAMIN F. Howell.
1t was also charged by Mr.. Brown
that Congressman Scully did not at
tend several important waterway
conventions, and thus indicate his
willingness, as member of the Riv-
ers and Harbors committee to work
for waterway improvements.
Has Secured Appropriations.
In his reply to Mr.. Brown, Con-
xy;-x
II suppose the people of the third
district knew where l stood" 1--WE
do, we do" one Scully enthusiast
yelled from the crowd. Mr.. Scully
then continued to show in what
manner he secured several water
way appropriations for not only this
district but the state, in general.
He said:
Mr.. Brown, one of my opponents
i do not know whether or not Mr..
Prentiss is in the race-has ques-
toned my congressional record.
invite investigation and favor open
criticism. He accuses me of accept
ing the honor of securing big water
way appropriations for this district
when same were recommended by
the Board of Engineers of Rivers
and Harbors under a Republican ad-
m1nistration in the third district.
Let is be known now, and for all
time, that l will not oppose, in any
way, the recommendations and find
ings Of the Board of Engineers, of
both the army and navy corps. With
the elemination of the pork barrel,'
conditions are such that NJ bill can
be passed unless 1t has the support
Of the engineers. 1t is the right sptr-
1t. In regard to the stealing of 9TH
er peoples thunder l want to in
form Mr.. Brown that the reports
and recommendation of the Board
Of Engineers, on third district water
way improvements, had been shut
finc around the House for thirty
two years, and less. The South Riv-
er appropriation of $4,000 was put
through on a recommendation draft
ed thirty-two years ago, but pigeon
holed since that time. Why did not
my predecessor secure an approprla-
tion on this report?
"The same may be said Of other
appropriations. I worked hard for
the assignment to the Rivers and

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Colonel Roose-

where an autopsy was performed by
DR.. George Mord, the coroner's ply
sician, this morning.
The autopsy shows that the man
was drowned, as the presence Of no
water in the mans lungs was found.
There were no marks of violence on
the body. Just how Meich drowned
is still a mystery, but it is believed
some light will be thrown on the
case when the inquest is neld next
Thursday afternoon at the coroner's
office in New Brighton. 1t has been
learned that Meich, who was consid-
erably under the influence of liquor
the night he disappeared, had fight
with a man In Prince Bay. Detec-
tive John Lewis, OF the Richmond

assigned to the case and is making q

FEAR WORKMAN
SUFFOCATED IN
SCHOONER HOLD

Authorities of Roosevelt, and par
ticularly employees of the Armour
Fertilizer Works In the Chrome sec
tion OF that borough, are trying In
vain to solve the mystery OF the dis
appearance of Nicholas Katsick ear
ly Tuesday morning. The supposi-
ton is that he was either drowned
or suffered death by suffocation un-
der a cargo of fertilizer on the
schooner Edith. which left on Tues
day for Havana, Cuba. A report that
body was seen floating in the
sound yesterday adds weight to the
belief that the man fell overheard.
Katsick was employed at the Ar
mour plant as laborer. He disap-
peared in the darkness OF early
Tuesday morning at the shipping
dock of the works, unawares to fell

low workmen. Nothing has been
seen or heard from him since and
his wife and several children are
anxiously awaiting some word that
will inform them of his whereabouts.
Mrs. Katsick cannot believe that her
husband is dead, but fellow en-
ploys believe he died either by
drowning or was buried in the cargo
of fertilizer. 1t is thought he either
fell off the dock or schooner In go
ing from one to the other, or per-
haps fell asleep In the hold of the
schooner Edith and was covered by
an avalanche Of fertilizer. Whether
or not he met death the latter way
will be definitely known In the
