In PATH
|OF AUTOMOBILE
Little CoIOred Lad in Hospi-
tai as Result.

[ Being whipped off the rear step of
an ice wagon belonging to the Perth
Amboy Coal & Ice Company almost
cost the life of David Carter, an
eight-year-ol colored boy of 296
Fayette street, Saturday afternoon,
according to spectators. After being
forced off he ran directly In the
path of a big touring automobile be-
longing to l.. c. Kellogg, corpora
ton lawyer of 1873 West Seventieth
street, New York City. He was
severely bruised about the body and
complained of severe pains, which
lead physicians and hospital attend
ants to believe he had been injured
internally. He was much improved
today, however, and it is expected
he will recover.
Kellogg's machine was driven by
Michael Gibson, of 208 West End
avenue, New York City. 1t bore
New York license No. 5,939. Spec
tatOrs declare the accident was in no
way due to any fault of the autoists.
Mr.. Kellogg declared the lad was
forced from the rear of the wagon
and ran directly in front of his ma
chine, so that the fender struck and
knocked him down on the brick
pavement. He was given medical
attention by DR.. Meinzer and taken
to the city hospital.
Mounted Patrolman Hartmann
made a detailed investigation of the
accident and found no cause for any
arrest. He learned the identity of
the autoists and discovered that
John Klusendorf, of 219 New Bruins
wick avenue, was one Of the eye wit
nesses to the accident.

WILSON AGAIN
RAPS NUGENT
Tells Newark Officials "RinQ''
Protects Vice.

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 16.-Following
Smith, Jr., Governor Wilson made pub
lie in Newark a letter addressed to
the city officials Of Newark which is
In effect an attack on James Nugent
Smiths son-in-law and the former
Democratic state chairman of New
Jersey, who was deposed after pro
posing toast to Woodrow Wilson
an migrate and a liar"
The letter was written following a
complaint to Governor Wilson by the
Anti-salOon league that Newark was
one of the worst governed cities in the
country and that disorderly resorts
thrlved there with the connivance of
the political rings and the police. Nu-
gent is known as the "boss of New
ark" He is corporation counsel there.
In the complaint to Governor VIII
son the members Of the Anti-saloon
league declared that when they carried
complaints to Nugent as corporation
counsel he tnterposed conditions that
no poor man and no self respecting
man" could meet in the way of estab,
fishing evidence he would be willing
to accept. One of the conditions com
planned of was that the complainants
must furnish bonds which would be
forfeited to the city If after an in
vestigation such as was demanded the
resort proprietors should come off
victors.
Governor Wilson's letter, which is
an effort to call attention to the dis
orderly elements in Newark In a way
to focus public attention upon the city
officials, expresses the governors re-
gret that the law does not give him
power to remove them as the laws Of
nearly all the other states do.
The letter was sent to the mayor of
Newark, the district attorney of Essex
county, the sheriff of Essex county and
the chief Of police Of Newark. The
governor sent with each copy of his
letter transcript of the evidence sent
to him by the Anti-saloon league.

The accident in which Anton s. Mix
olajczak, nine year old son of Meat In
spector Anton J. Mikolajczak, of AT
Mary street, lost his life under a sand
bank and two of his playmates were
partially buried Saturday afternoon,
has cast a gloom over the northwestern
section of the city. 1t occurred as the
boys were playfully romping about in
sand on a vacant lot at Donald avenue
and Kennedy street.
Anton Mikolajczak is believed to
have died almost instantly as the re-
suit Of broken neck. Stephen Mix
olajczak, eight year old son Of Thomas
Mikolajczak, Of SAL Harrington street
had narrow escape from following
his cousin in death. He was buried al
esnn,,sst to his neck Edward Klemeszew-
ski, about seven years old, son of An
ton Klemeszewski, of Harrington street
and Cleveland avenue, was buried to
near his knees. He quickly freed him
self and heroically rescued Steve Mix

eating Antoine Mikolajczak seemed the
longest ever spent by his aLxious play
mates and members of the rescuine
party who were Frank Meyer, Of Gil
Donald avenue; Jacob Lamp and An
drew Schenko. The lad was dead wher
removed. DR.. J. S. Hay was summoned
but his services were of no avail, as il

responsible, if it is possible to do so
The coroner learned that the boys il

had discovered sand and had formed 6
cave by excavation. 1t was about five
feet deep and so formed that if anyone
was caught in the deepest section Of
the hole death would become almos
certain. Anton Mikolajczak was in tht
cave aud jumping about in playful
way when the fatal cave-in of sane
came. 1t is estimated that about tive
tons of sand covered his body. Edwar
/. IL pullc1 his legs out of the sand anc
rescued StsTe Mfiikofajczak. They cried
for help and little time was lost il
reaching the other Mikolajczak boy.

GRAND JURY WANTS
THOMAS BROWN Up
BEFORE THE COURT
His Actions Arc
Condemned by
That Body.
UP TO BERGEN
From the NEWS Correspondent

tFrom the NEWS Correspondent
New Brunswick, Sept. 16;-The
grand jury returned seven indict-
ments shortly after noon today, and
a presentment against Attorney
Thomas Brown, of Perth Amboy,
who attacked the thoroughness of
the investigation made in the recent
labor strikes in Perth Amboy by
Prosecutor George S. Silzer. Judge
DAILY accepted the presentment, and
stated that he will refer the matter
to Justice James J. Bergen, who ar
rives here tomorrow to open the
September term of court.
The Presentment in Full.
The presentment was as follows:
''In view of the remarks made by
an attorney, Thomas Brown, of
Perth Amboy, publicly, in court, on
September II, 1912, this body de-
sires to present these facts: That the
strike at Perth Amboy in June, last,
was the subject of a very thorough
Investigation by this body. Two ses-
sions of the six held were devoted to
the work. Every witness who could
give any evidence or throw any light
on the situation were called and ex-
amined at length. There We're four
teen witnesses called and examined.
Every effort was made to get all the
facts possible. After this searching
and exhaustive examination, this
body, on July "a, took such action as
the facts warranted, as were in the
interest of the public veal.
"The prosecutors office, apparent
ly produced every witness who could
be found and the examination by the
was exhaustive. In view of these
facts, an attempt was made to call
Mr.. Brown before this body, before
it's dissolution, for an explanation,
but as the subpoena was not proper
1y served he was not obliged and did
not appear. Nevertheless we desire
to make a presentment to the court:
First. We recommend that the
court surpass the practice of attor-
neys in making loose and untrue
statements before this court, which
reflect upon the administration of
Justice in this country, and upon the
work of the court, the prosecutor
and the grand jury.
Second. That such offenders be
Immediately brought to this bar for
reprimand or other proper punish
ment.
Third. That grand juries be in-
formed of statements publicly made
casting reflection upon their work,
so that appropriate action may be
taken by them to stop this practice.
Fourth. That the court take
such action in Mr.. Browns case as
will make him understand that SIAN
der of the grand jury will not be tol~
Grated by this court
