TAKE "MOVIES"
OF WOUNDED KNEE
Event Attended by Notable
Army Men--Film Will Be
Filed by Government

\ part of the historical battle
of Wounded Knee which was
fought December %, 1890, was
reproduced for motion pictures
near the Pine Ridge agency at
the instigation of Colonel w. F.
Cody.
The battle was staged and pie
tured upon the same ground
where it was originally fought,
several temporary hC,lses and In
dian tepees having been construct
ed to make it appear more real.
These were burned with the
train Of wagons in strict accord
ance with history.
The assistance of some of the
same Indians who participated in
the battle were secured and they
played the same part that they
took in the battle twenty three
years ago.
Two troops Of soldiers from
Fort Robinson took part.
The battle was reproduced
with the same accuracy in every
detail, and General Nelson A.
Miles, Brigadier General Marion
p. Maus, General F. D. Baldwin,
Major General Charles A. King,
and Major Jesse M. Lee served
in the same capacities as when
the original battle was fought.
The government was interested
in the reproduction Of the battle
to the extent that copies of the
films made will be filed among
the historical archives of the war
department.
The movies were taken for
the Essanay Film Manufacturing
Company by three camera men.
Several newspaper men of note
were out from Chicago to cover
the big story for their pnblicat
ions.
On the disagreeable, cold day
when the battle was fought 400
Sioux under the leadership Of
Chief Big Foot were on the war
path and were halted when on
their march to Pine Ridge by the
Seventh United States cavalry.

utes the battle was on in earnest.

dians were killed and thirty-tw0
Of the soldiers met death.

AUTO MAN COMMENTS
ON WEST-RIVER ROADS
DesMoines Motorist Says Fort
Pierre To Philip Road Is Good

Pierre, s. d.. Oct. 80. c.
NanSlyke, representing the
White Auto Co.. came in fromthe
west with his wife this morning,
on extensive tour. visiting their
agents as far west as the Rocky
Mountains. When interviewed,
Mr. NanSlyke said that he had
been finding the highways in
South Dakota, as general thing
i'll pretty good shape, but that
some could not be recommended.
He was of the opinion that the
Black and Yellow Trail from
Fort Pierre to Philip was one
OF the best west of the river, but
also said that the same trail in
Pennington county, just after
leaving Rapid City, was one Of
the rOttenest motor roads he ever
saw.
THIS comment proves that it
is worth while for the counties
and the residents thereof to get
to work and improve their roads,
put in bridges, grades, and the
like. Even if it is necessary
to go to an apparently large ex-
pense, 1t is more than repaid by
the comments and trade of auto
mobile parties passing through.

The great Importance of the

MAKE
ANOTHER HAUL
Visit Home of W. l. Farr0at in
Rector Street.

Robbers, believed to have been
the same who have worked in this
city for some time past, entered the
home of Walter l.. Farroat at 283
Rector street last night and stole
two gold bracelets and $3.50 in
cash. They ransacked every room
in the house, and despite a dilli-
gent search, left several valuables
and amounts of cash behind. 1t Is
thought that they were in the house
for but brief period and were
frightened away before they had
completed the job.
The supposition Is that the house
was entered between s and 8 O'Clock
last night when 1t was left unoccu-
pied, but the robbery was not dis
covered until this morning. The
finding of burned match sticks about
the floors of every room in the
house lead to the discovery. A hur-
ried search revealed that the only
things taken were $3.50 in cash
from a purse and two bracelets,
stolen from the room of Mr.. and
Mrs. Farroat's daughter, Margaret.
The money was seized from drawer
in her dresser and the bracelets
from a washstand. Valuables and
cash, which were not taken, were
under lock and key in Mrs. Farroat's
room, but it is concluded that little
difficulty would have been experien-
ced in finding the key or forcing
open the drawers.
In view of the fact that the rob-
berry was not discovered last night,
Mr.. and Mrs. Farroat are not GER
tain as to whether the residence
was entered while they were out last
night, or later while they were
asleep, but they believe it was done
while they were away. The man
ner in which entrance was gained
is not known. A Jimmy or some
similar instrument was used in vain
attempts to force open dining
room window on the northerly side.
The robbers may have used skele-
ton key for the rear kitchen door
or have climbed through one of the
second story windows, most of
which were open last night.

Christmas poultry in low grades
came in for a setback today, when
about 400 pounds were condemned
by DR. Wallace Gill, food inspector
for the Board of Health. He found
most of the stock in question to be in
state of decomposition and held it
to be unfit for human consumption.
In most instances the meat had been
frozen or chilled and it had decom-
posed to a large extent while on dis
play for sale.
Resolved that they would guard
as far as possible against the sale
of rotten products at this particular
season when they are most in de-
mand, the health authorities set out
to make inspections in stores. Dis
covery of the poultry which was con-
demned, was made by DR.. Gill In his
rounds this morning. 1t is likely
that he Will bring the subject to the
attention of the health commission
ers when they meet tonight, and that
steps will then be taken against the
dealers concerned.

No. Z MEN
|. FORM NEW UNION
Independent Of Brick, Tile and
Terra Gotta Organization.

The Brotherhood of Employees OF
Plant No. 2, of the Atlantic Terra
Gotta Company, was formally organ
lied last night, Independent of the
Brick, The and Terra Gotta Workers
international Union, to which many
of the members formally belonged.
1t was decided last night to establish
sick benefit fund, from the dues to
be paid, and that an employe of the
brotherhood unable to work Is to get
SIS per week Srcer the first week. The
meeting was held at Washington hall
and officers for the first year elected.
1t is the belief of the men that by
forming a union of their own and
working in harmony with the COM
pany they may benefit their condi-
tions more than by afflliation with
the International Union, which, they
claim, does not take a personal inter-
est in them, and from which, the men
allege, they receive but scant consid-
GRAFTON in time of need. The officers
elected last night were as follows:
Nicholas Tyrrell, president; John
Chayko, vice presiden; Theodore
Bergman, financial secretary; Louis
Wenzel, recording secretary; Michael
McCool, treasurer; Leo Troyon, door
keeper. 1t will be the object of the
brotherhood to adjust all grievances
that may arise between its members
and the company.

TRUCK
SINKS THROUGH
COUNTY BRIDGE

For the third time in little more
than a week a heavily laden automo
bile truck crashed through the coun-
ty bridge over Raritan river this
morning. 1t belonged to the Rubsam

The truck, Benz make, was laden
with seventy-three kegs filled with
beer and the combined weight of the
machine and It's load is said to have
exceeded 30,G00 pounds. AS the limit
of weight prescribed by law which
may cross such structures is $4,000
pounds, the total weight was more
than 5000 pounds in excess of the
limit. AS has been told, Freeholder

Ascertain If State Board AS
seSSed Coal Bumper.

Following the consideration on
the appeal of the 100000 assess
ment against the new coal car dunn
per, recently erected at the Lehigh
Valley coal docks here, the Middle
sex County Board of Taxation at its
meeting in city hall yesterday after
noon, decided to ascertain If the
State Board of Assessors had placed
an assessment on the apparatus, as
claimed by tho railroad. The local
assessors placed the above valuation
against the McMyler Interstate Gem
pany, builders of the apparatus, who
they claimed owned the machine
May 20. The McMyler concern con-
tends that it was turned over to the
railroad before that date. 1t matters
not whether the assessment of the To-
cal or state assessors holds good as
Perth Amboy will receive the taxes
on the same, at the rate, notwith-
standing. However, the states as
sessments are usually higher in com
parison with local assessors figures,
so that the city might be benefited
by the states appraisal.
Twenty five appeals on property
within Perth Amboy were considered
by the board yesterday afternoon,
some being cancelled, some reduced
and some reserved for further con-
sideration. The actions of the board
will not be made public until the dis
position of all the appeals. There
are about six applications that were

ciable discrepancy in the number Of
appeals on Perth Amboy valuations
filed this year in comparison with

Brunswick assessments. 1t Is be-
lleved that the removal of the tax
boards secretary's office was instru-
mental in bringing about this change
which makes 1t less convenient for
Perth Amboy people and more con
venient for New Brunswick owners
to file appeals.

CHRISTMAS HAS
ENTIRE CITY IN
GRIP OF SPIRIT

The day before Christmas eve finds
the Yuletide spirit permeating the
atmosphere of every vocation and
occupation throughout the city. Chill
dren in the schools can hardly wait
until noon tomorrow, when they will
be dismissed until January 8, to say
nothing of their impatience for the
arrival of Christmas morning. A
number of companies have taken
steps to provide their employees with
money at this time so that their hap
piness may not be hampered by a
lack of finances. Programs for ap-
propriate Christmas celebrations
have been arranged in all the schools.
The incoming and outgoing mails of
the postoffice are steadily increasing
in volume, approaching the grand
climax, which is inevitable tomorrow.
The employees of the Public Service
Railway Company, who are usually
paid every Thursday at this place,
will be paid tomorrow so that their
pocketbooks will jingle for the buy
ing of Christmas good things" "
Other companies will advance money
to their employees as the latter see
that they need it. The Raritan Cop
per Works and the American Smelt-
ing & Refining Company have sys-
tenn whereby the employe may draw
in advance a large part of what is
due him If he so desires. The regu-
lar pay days of these companies are
twice a month.

night and the merchants anticipate a
huge volume of trade tonight. A
large part of the shopping is done
after o'clock, following the day s
