The man who tells the police he Is a
physician Is a mystery. His statements
are conflicting and the automobile in
which he was riding and which he says
he owns Is registered under the name
of H. B. Kirkbride. $40 North Broad
street, Philadelphia. The license which
the man carries is made out to Horace
Brooks, and in his pockets were letters
and cards addressed to Horace Brooks.
The prisoner also declared he was an
author and wrote under the name of
Russell M. Brooks.
The woman who was in the car with
Gentry, on account of her condition, is
unable to aid the police. When the
accident occurred Gentry declared that
his companion was Ellen Green. When
closely pressed he admitted that she
was Mary Blake. assistant stewardess

that the man is not telling the truth,
They do not believe that he is a ply
sician, and rather think he is a
chauffeur. His appearance does not

and his demeanor far from dignif1ed
The police are anxious to find William
Markland, of Montclair, who Gentry
says is his friend and would establish
his identity.
William H. Parry. former recorder
of Nutley, is counsel for the man.
The identity of the automobile which
ran down Gustave Steirs SO years old,
of 10 Orange place, is still unknown,

PRICES
TAKE JUMP

Prices prevailing for the Easter sea-
son this year, according to merchants
in Centre Market, are higher than they
have been in many years. The most
remarkable instances of high prices
are those of beef and lamb, which
have been recently advanced and
which, according to an order already
made, will advance again next week
There is less reason for these high
prices, said NJ. Kramer, of Centre
Market, this year than in the past
eight years. There are forty million
more pieces Of beef. lamb. pork and
veal in the possession of the big COM
mission houses than there were last
year at this time"
According to report, the prices OF
beef and lamb are the highest since
1882. Eggs average five cents a dozen
higher than at last Easter. Fancy
white leghorn eggs are now selling for
s3 cents, and the cheapest prices are
from 28 cents UP. Last year the prices
ranged from Is to 2s cents. Duck eggs
that brought S5 or 40 cents a dozen
last year. are now selling for 40 and
45 cents. Goose eggs are selling for

BEAT MAN IN
TRUNK STRIKE

An assault characterized by Judge
Herr as being "as bad as an attempt
to murder a man. marks the first vio-
lencv OF the str.ke at the trunk fac
tory of L. Goldsmith & Co.. Cherry and
North Canal streets. An employee of
the factory, Rudolph Kodak, of %
South Orange avenue was badly
beaten by a gang of men alleged to
be strikers at Court and Charlton
streets. In connection with the as
sault Charles Charlotte, an employee
of the NJ Maids & Co. trunk factory,
was held in 500 bail.
lone of the men drew a knife and
slashed my face said Kodak, "and
another threw me to the ground" He
entered a complaint in the Fourth pre-
cinct against Charlotte, L Berkowitz
and M. Mendel. All three were held in
500 bail.
That the trouble is prompted by jeal-
ousy is the opinion of Mr.. Goldsmith.
This is not strike" he said. 'its a
conspiracy" Speaking of the trouble
today, Mr. Goldsmith explained that
about forty or fifty of the men who are
now out on strike are ready to return,
but that outside pressure is brought to
bear upon them.
Several employees of the factory who
have refused to join the strikers stated
today that they were satisfied with
their wages.
One man said he worked nine hours
day and averaged s1S week. An
other man, who is learning the bust
ness, stated that in the two weeks he
had been working ther he received
about s24.
Kodak stated that he had been with
the company for seven years and made
about s17 a week.
Mr. Goldsmith stated that until the
strike was started the best of feeling
prevailed among his employees. He
said that in the latter part of January
every man in the factory, except one
who was sick, attended a banquet at
Achtel-Stetter's and presented a loving
cup to David Osterwell, a brother-in-
law of Mr.. Goldsmith, and one of the
factory managers.
The Goldsmith shop employs about
It's men. and at present there are about
thirty-f1ve at work
L. Goldsmith & Son have employed
the Gregory Protecting Agency and
they say that they have now twenty
two men protecting the section where
there may be trouble.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Search for
Giuseppe Di Fiore, 6 years old. who
was kidnapped eight days ago, has ex-
tended to all the cities and towns sur
rounding New York. 1t is thought
that the kidnappers, while waiting in
the expectation of getting the $4,000
reward demanded for the return of the
boy, have concealed him in some re-
treat outside of New York.
The fact that the kidnappers are
striving to extort $4,000 from the

from neighbors The child's parents

WANT WIRES
IN CONDUITS

Commissioner William Mungle, chair
man of the street committee, In his
report to the Board of Works yester-
day urged that the Public Service Cor
poration be compelled to place over
head wires underground wherever con-
duits are installed. The matter has
been put in the hands of Chief En-
gineer Morris r. Sherrerd, who will re.
port at the next meeting.
Matters of vital Importance affect
ing the general welfare of the city,
particularly in the use of streets ana
highways, all of which demand inn
mediate attention. was the caption
under which Commissioner Mungle
made thirteen recommendations, lead
ing with the underground wire ques-
tion. Commissioner Charles F. Krae-
mer, and, in fact, all of the members,
are with the representative from ths
North End in the .proposais to force the
trolley company to abolish overhead
wires
This is not the only battle planned
against the Public Service. Commits
sioner Mungle pointed out that on July
/ last the board communicated with the
company about storing cars at VIE
denmayer's and Electric parks and the
Newark Velodrome. The suggestion of
the board is that tracks be laid on va
cant land for storing cars, so that the
excess traffic can be handled without
interfering with the through traffic
The commissioner further stated that
the trolley company is bound by ordi-
nance to keep such streets as Hamburg
place in repair until paved by the city
1T drove down there yesterday and
found from six to ten inches of mud
there" said the commissioner. "The
conditions are deplorable.''
| He suggested the opening of Laclza-
wanna avenue from Eighth avenue tc
a point 268.50 feet easterly; of First
avenue from Sixth street to city line;
of Second avenue from the Morris
canal to city line.
| Other suggestions are that the board
advertise for bids for the construction
of the new bathhouse at Spruce and
Charlton streets; that Mt. Pleasant
avenue be repaved from Clay street to
Harvey street; Lackawanna avenue
from Eighth avenue to Nesbitt street;
Delavan avenue be graded, curbed and
tagged at once from Summer avenue
to Woodside avenue; that the curbing
in Roseville avenue where the inter-
secting streets were made narrower be
reset so as to conform with the new
established width, and that the re-
quest of the Public Service for q
change of the curve, or s. at Car
Isle place and Ogden street be granted.
