SHERIFF is WITNESS
BEFORE GRAND JURY

New Brunswick, Oct. 10:-Sheriif
Bollschweiler was among the big
throng of witnesses waiting to be
called before the grand jury yester-
day. Although it was the sheriff
who selected the grand jury, that
body did not show him the considera-
ton to call him first, but kept him
waiting for some time, while it heard
a variety of cases.
The sheriff was summoned to testi-
fly again regarding the strike situa-
ton at Perth Amboy, it is understood.
Lawyer Browns open charge that the
strike situation had not been thor
oughly investigated by a-prsyaedr
grand jury, it is understood, was re-
sponsible for-the present inyestiga-
ton.
The sheriff had ordered saloons
closed during the strike and the
charge was made when one saloon
keeper was indicted for violating the
law by selling on Sunday and in spite
of special orders, that case was sim
gled out and that others should have
charged. The sheriff was called, it
is understood to testify that there
were no other violations Of the law
to his knowledge.

accidently shot. He died shortly az
ter being admitted to the Long

men.

of the gun, ran to her son and took
him into her arms, where she held

consciousness. He was taken i'm
mediately by DR.. Erwin to the Mon
mouth Memorial Hospital at Long

FEAR FOR The
STATE ROADS.
State Board of Agriculture
Takes Up Matter.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, Oct. 10.-Franklin Dye,
Secretary of the State Board of Ag-
riculture, declared today that some
drastic action must be taken at once
to save New Jerseys fine system of
more than 1900 miles of improved
highways built under the state aid
law. Secretary Dye stated hat since
New Jersey has thrown its doors wide
open to automobiles of other states,
by the law passed last winter, the
damage to the roads has very greatly
increased. The high power cars, he
said, are rapidly destroying the
roads.
1t is likely that the matter will be
brought before the State Board of
Agriculture at it's annual meeting
here in january. Mr.. Dye thinks that
the automobile license fees should be
materially increased in order that
those who are doing the most dam
age to the roads should provide the
cost for their maintenance.
