SLEEPING BOY
TAKES A WALK
Lawrence Schneider of War
rem House Annex PIunges
rs Feet Out of Window.
ONLY SLIGHTLY INJURED
Fall Broken by Shutters on
spending Summer
in Perth Amboy.

While walking in his sleep shortly
after midnight, Lawrence R. Schneider,
the fourteen year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert F. Schneider who are sum-
mering at so Gordon street, had mar
row escape from death as he pitched
forlard from his bed room quarters to
the ground below. DR.. J. G. Wilson the
attending physician considers the es-
cape miraculous as the boy fell over
twenty-five feet. The entire neigh
borhood where the accident happened
was aroused by the screams of the lad.
Shutters Break Fall.
Young Schneider retired about 10
o o'clock at the Warren Annex, 80 Cor
don street. His room is situated in the
rear of the house The lad went over
to the window in his sleep and tumbled
head foremost. Luckily the shutters on
the first floor were opened and as his
body was being hurled to the ground,
came In contact with the open blinds,
breaking his fall.
The limp form of Schneider landed
on the ground. His cries of fright to-
gether with the noise Of the breaking
shutters aroused the other occupants
of the house. The lad when picked up
was not awakened and his limpless form
carried into the house. At first it was
thought that the lad was seriously in
jured. A hurry call was sent for DR..
j. G. Wilson who responded in quick
order. Upon examination the doctor
found that no bones were broken and
that the boy escaped with cuts and
bruises.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schneider were former
residents of this city, now living in
New York. SO well known is the fam
lily in this city and enjoying such q
wide circle of friends they often spend
their summers here. When Mrs. Schnei-
der was interviewed at the Warren
house this morning she said that she
considered the escape miraculous mas
much as the fall was over twenty-five
feet. Young Schneider, according to
his parents is a somnambulist.

think, however, that the resolution
which was hastily drawn and passed

creation of a department of wharves,

A decided impetus was given to
the "Kill the Rat" campaign last
night when the Board Of Aldermen,
in committee session, decided to
accede to the request Of the Board
of Health and grant an additional
appropriation of $3.50 to that depart
ment to be utilized in the local war
against the varmints. 9. w. Naulty,
Jr., federal health office of the port

weeks meeting, Mr.. Schwartz states,
the board will entertain ideas from
the doctors as to what method to
pursue in the campaign, and form
ally adopt a plan. 1t has been sug-
gested that an officia rat catcher be
employed, but that plan has not met
with general favor, 1t is said.
The Board of Health asks the CO.

HYDRANT STOPS
The RUNAWAY IS
Brooklyn Rig Furnishes Ex-
citement Here This Morning.

A team Of horses attached to q
large delivery wagon of F. Stearn &
Company, of Sixty-ninth street
Brooklyn, caused much excitement
on Amboy avenue, near New Bruins
wick avenue, at 8 o'clock this morn
ing. The driver stepped from the
wagon to inquire where a certain
number was located. A large auto
mobile swept by and as it did 30
footed a big siren. The horses took
fright and started on mad run.
Down the thoroughfare they came
and turned into New Brunswick ave-
nue.. When turning into New Bruins

demolished part of the wagon.

1t was practically decided last
night at committee session OF the
| Board of Aldermen to reconsider
the resolution passed by that board
on July /, which leased the ferry
rights at the foot of Buckingham
avenue to the Perth Amboy and Tot
| tenville Ferry Company, and sub
stltute resolution which will safe
guard the city's interest in a more
efficient manner. The original res
olution was passed unanimously by
the Board of Aldermen, but Acting
Mayor Ferd. Garretson declined to
approve of the document He re-
turned it, without his signature, to
City Clerk Wilbur LaRoe, accom-
panied by his reasons for such ac-
ton.
Objections Are Read.
The mayors objections to the or
| iginal resolution were read last
night to the aldermen and a large
| delegation from the ferry company.
The committee from the ferry COM
pany included: c. G. Baldwin, B.
M. Cannon, Walter Thompson,
Michael Humphrey, George S. Sill
zer and James s. Wight, the latter
two being advisers of the newly or
ganized ferry company. Mr.. Silzer
drew up a draft of the substitute
resolution, which was considered by
the aldermen and the ferry COM
pany's representatives, with the re-
suit that it was practically adopted
by all interested, Mayor Garretson
states.
No information was given to the
newspapers, regarding the provis-
ions of the new resolution, although
Mayor Garretson states that it will
positively safeguard the city's inter
est more thoroughly than the orig
inal resolution, which is also print
ed herewith. He asserts that the
ferry company informed the alder
men last night that they have no
intention of operating for few
years, in a competitive manner, and
then combine with any rival COM
pany. The representatives of the
applicant company contend that
they will operate the system in a
competitive manner until the eXpir-
alton of their twenty-five year lease
from the city, or until it becomes
evident that they are running los
ing proposition.
Mr. Garretson states that the sub
stitute resolution will probably be
introduced at the meeting of the
Board of Aldermen OH Monday
night.
Reasons for Returning 1t.
Acting Mayor Garretson' reasons
in full were as follows:
Perth Amboy, N. j., July 10. 1912.
To the Council of the City of Perth
Amboy:
Gentlemen-A resolution pertain
ing to riparian rights at Buckingham
avenue together with a resolution
fixing consideration for the Perth
Amboy and Tottenville Ferry Com
pany franchise are herewith returned
without approval. The resolutions,
as you know, received my vote on
their passage by your honorable
board and that action should indl-
cate that am not unfriendly to the
project of establishing competitive
ferry across Staten Island sound. On

TO THE BAKERY

Plans are being drawn up by Archl-
tect j. K. Jensen for an addition to

parts to be used as store-rooms. Work
will probably be begun next month.

educate himself, quit the mills, and
was appointed janitor of a branch of
