ANOTHER FIRE
AT GRECORy'S
Big Dry Dock is Burned
Origin Unknown

The Gregory marine graveyard
was visited by a second fire within
three days at noon Saturday and a
third one early Sunday morning de-
stroyed a large floating dry dock on
the southerly side of the mass of
wreckage. The second fire was start
ed by some sparks. What started the
dry dock fire is unknown to John II.
Gregory, head of the Gregory Wreck
Ing a. Contracting Company. He
says ii is barely possible 1t may have
been ignited in the same manner, as
portions of the top of it were covered
with oil and grease, thereby making
1t inflammable. He rldicules the re-
ports that he deliberately burned the
dry dock as an easy method OF free
ing metals from the wood.
The third one started Just before
midnight Saturday and burned
throughout the remainder of the
night, throwing huge reflection In
the sky. Chief Engineer William P.
O'Hara and his flrefghting crew
made no attempt to reach the flames,
owing to the fact that they were
about 500 feet distance from shore.

HURT WHEN RUN DOWN BY AUTO
FIREBOATS ARE
PROVIDED HERE

AS a means of fighting fires in
this city from the bodies of water
which almost surround 1t, Chief En-
gineer William P. O'Hara has Sc
cured the services of tugs of the
Lshigh Valley Railroad Company.
During the recent fires at the Gre
CORY marine graveyard, it became
evident to Chief O'Hara and other
officials of the fire department that
some means necessary to fight fires
from the water. At the time of fir.
at the Gregory yard last Thursday
morning Mr.. O'Hara tried in vain to
summon tugs from South Amboy.
He claims they might have become
valuable for playing stearms on the
outlying portions of the fire and
would have been especially valuable
in taking care of vessels which might
have been set adrift as result of
the FIRE.
Hereafter II the fire department
finds needs for floating fire. fighting
apparatus, Chief O'Hara will sound
two long and three short blasts of
a steam whistle. That is the call to
the Lehigh Valley tugboat crews and
they will respond Immediately.
Mr.. O'Hara sent communication
to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany, In quest of information con-
cerniDg rules for the call OF tugs to
fight fires. He received the fol-

quoted Col. Theodore Roosevelt as
saying: "In those western states it
is a real pleasure to meet woman,
thoroughly womanly women, who do
every duty that any woman can do,
and who also are not only in fact
but In theory on level of full equal
ity with men. l have failed to see
that these women are any less eff
cient in their households or show
any falling off In the sense of duty;
I think the contrary is the case.

Nathan Robinson
and Partv of
KeaSbev
BADLY BRUISED

Nathan Robinson, hotel proprie-
tor of Keasbey, his three little
daughters and bartender, Joseph
Puskarf, experienced narrow escape
from serious injury or perhaps death
when an automobile in which they
were riding was ditched and turned
over opposite the old water works
pond In upper Smith street at 1870
o'clock yesterday afternoon. They
Maculously escaped with bruises
and dNninor cuts. Mr.. Robinson, own
er and driver of the machine, two of
his daughters and Mr.. Puskarf were
pinned under the machine as it roll
ed over in the ditch. The auto own
er and driver claims a Public Service
trolley car rammed the left rear
wheel of his machine, thereby caus-
Ing the accident. Both he and other
members of the party are suffering
from shock as a result of the horrify-
Ing experience. They fail to under
stand how they escaped with such
slight injury, considering the plunge
and turning of the machine.
The accident happened as Robin
son was driving his Maxwell touring
car from this city to his home in
Keasbey. He says a Public Service
trolley car followed him down the
hill &c thesEsgleswood section and
without a warning Of any kind, he
asserts, rammed the left rear wheel
of his car, causing the machine to
careen and topple into the large ditch
at the westerly side of the road Mr..
Robinson's daughter, Lillian, eleven
years old, was hurled from the ma
chine and landed about ten feet
away. Mr.. Robinson, his daughters,
Flora, eight years old, and Ruth, six
years old, and Mr.. Puskarf were
pinned under the machine as it roll
ed over in the ditch. The trolley
car was stopped and the crew with
the aid of several male passengers
lifted the machine and extricated the
victims. Trolley officials say they re-
fused medical aid from the company.
They were taken to their home in
.Eaaabey and DR.. Herman Gross, of
ntetuc.5en,- was summoned. DR.. F. G..
-Menry, physician for the Public Ser
Tice Railway Company, called to give
aid and ascertain the extent of their
inju-'ies.
Mr.. Robinson appears to have re-
ceived the most injuries in being cut
about the head by fragments of glass
from a broken windshield in his ma
chine. All in the party sustained
numerous bruises. The machine was
considerably damaged, Mr.. Robinson
states. 1t was taken in charge by
Frank Van Syckle, garage owner
OF this city.
