been lynched by this time.
According to evidence furnished
and admissions of Allen he drew his
pay and benefits, amounting to
$3.50 from the American Smelling
and efining Works yesterday. He
went on a rampage and became
drunk. At the time of the assault
he was walking with a negro wo-
man. A white girl was near the
center of the sidewalk and in his
way. Using both hands the negro
grabbed the girl by the head and
slung her out of his path, to the
of onlookers, according
to the testimony. He was then ar
rested.
Although married but four
months Mr. and Mrs. Allen have not
been on very good terms and at
times the woman has found life with
the negro to be almost unbearable,
according to her complaint to Re-
corder Pickersgill. Allen was peni-
tent today and his wife forgaVe him
to the extent of seeking in every con-
ceivable manner to raise the amount
of his fine to secure his freedom.
She employed Wight and Wight as
counsel to aid. The recorder said
Allen would be kept in this city un-
til tonight before being taken to the
county Jail, affording an opportunity
to release him by payment of the
fine.

An order was made yesterday by
resolution of the Board of Freehold
ers to have County Engineer Alvin
Fox prepare plans for suitable
bridge to be erected across the Le-
high Valley railroad tracks for the
extension of Convery place in the
western part of this city. The free
holders propose to have modern
structure erected at a cost estimated
at $4,000. Before the actual work
is started, they will endeavor to have
the cost to the county reduced. They
will confer with the Public Service
Railway Company, in an effort to
interest it in trolley extension into
the northwestern section and there
by have the company pay for using
the bridge. They will also confer
with the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company in an effort to secure per-
mission to shorten spans of the pro-
posed bridge, so as to make it less
costly.
Engineer Fox will receive an or
der to prepare plans for q suitable
structure. When the resolution to
take this action was adopted at an
adjourned meeting of the board at

WOULD ERECT
SAN|TARIUM
ON PIER END

Because the city has not yet pur-
chased the riparian rights to four
teen of its street ends as recommend
ed by the harbor board to the Board
Of Aldermen at the formers last
meeting, the commissioners were un-
able to take advantage of philan-
thropic offer for the benefit Of poor
children made by DR.. Charles |. Silk
in a communication received by the
board at its regular meeting last
night. Believing that many of the
children of the city die every year
from a certain summer disease be-
cause of want of proper treatment,
and believing that the fresh, salt air
would be the only requisite to cure
such disease, DR.. Silk requested the
board to give him permission to
build a sanitarium of modest ma
ture off one of the city's street ends.
The commissioners are in hearty ac-
cord with the idea, but are power
less. Secretary LaRoe was instruct
ed to send a letter to DR.. Silk, ex-
planning that the commissioners have
not yet any power over the street
ends because the city has not yet
purchased those riparian rights to
any street except Washington street,
which is supposed to be used by the
Perth Amboy and Tottenville Ferry
Company.
In explaining his plan to a NEWS
man this morning, DR.. Silk said, 81
think the infant mortality, which is
very high in this city, could be con-
siderably reduced by having sant-
torium for the care Of infants suf-
fering from the summer disease and
those who have tuberculosis affec-
tions." The physician said that his
idea would be to build pier at the
end of which the hospital, wooden
structure, would be located. In con-
nection with this he states there
could be a contagious ward, for
those afflicted with infectious dis
eases.

WHAT KIND OF
PAVEMENT FOR
ROADS IS BEST
Aldermen Trying to Decide
Question for New Brunswick
and Amboy Avenues.
MAYOR is OPPOSED TO
ANY FURTHER DELAY
Freeholders Say They Have
Done Their Part and Mon
ey Is Provided for.

Pending action of the council to
proceed with improvement of Am
boy and New Brunswick avenues,
the street department is filling in
the deepest holes. Permanent i'm
provxement of these thoroughfares is
up to the city fathers, according to
Mayor Ferd Garretson and Freehold
er Albert T Kerr. Following action
of the Board of Freeholders in re-
questing an allotment of $4,000
from the state motor vehicle fund to
improve the streets in question,
Mayor Ferd Garretson became busy
and procured assurances from the
proper state officials and from the
freeholders that the money would be
forthcoming. Under these conditions
1t was proposed to proceed at once
to make the improvements. No ac-
ton has been taken in that direc-
ton.
When the city's chief executive
was asked today as to the reason
for the delay, he declared it seem
ed that the aldermen were unde-
cided as to what sort of pavement
to construct. Some favored con-
struction of a brick pavement on
New Brunswick avenue, from the
Lehigh Valley crossing to a point
near the city hospital, and Amecite
pavement from that point to the
city's westerly boundary line. They
would place Annette on all Amboy
avenue within the city limits.
There is some question among the
+ aldermen as to the durability of
Amecite. Indications are that it is
the aim of the aldermen to construct
pavements on those streets that will
last. Mayor Garretson and the al
dermen declare that action should
be taken without delay because OF
the deplorable condition of the
thoroughfares in question. The
mayor states that If a decision is
not reached soon the city should
proceed with construction of macad-
am pavements, which under present
conditions could be done for 81 900
a mile, according to the state road
commissioner. The streets are now
macadamized and that is the esti-
mated cost of repairing it to make
1t practically the same as now. He
estimates the total cost would thus
be $4,000.
Freeholder Kerr said today that
the freeholders had done their part,
and as the money would not be
turned over until the improvements
had been made, 1t was up to the
city to proceed. He said the money
thus secured from the state could
only be used for Amboy and New
Brunswick avenues.

EGGS FRIED ON ICE.
BY the Use Of Peculiar but Simple
Principle Of Electricity.

Frying eggs on lee isfentirely feasible,
as was demonstrated Mt recent cleo
tfical exhibition given by the Univer-
sity of Illinois The eggs were placed
in an ordinary frying pan, and the
frying pan was placed on a Pile Of
cracked Ice ON q kitchen table. Eggs
were fried nicely. though 1t took longer
than when u stove is used. No wires
were in sight The frying pan had ng
electrical connections and could be
taken up and replaced at will.
Under the table was the secret. an
electromagnetic. Even with the secret
divulged, the trick was wonderful
enough, for between the frying pan
and the magnet was a pile Of ice and
the board table top, neither of which
was Affected excepting by 1.-THE heat sent
down frem the frying pan.
A peculiar but simple principle Of
electricity was used. An electromag-
net. as Is generally known, Is a horse
shoe shaped bar of iron, with coils of
wire wound round each arm OF the
horseshoe
When current of electricity is sent
through the coils of wire the horsesioe
becomes magnet and will attract and
firmly grip any bit of iron placed near
the ends OF the arms or poles. This
applies to n direct current of electric
ity. II. however. an alternating cur
rent of electricity is sent through the
coils any iron near the magnet poles
IL heated by what are called eddy
currents" -M
In the egg frying trick the magnet
was placed under the table, and an
alternating current was sent through
the coils. Saturday Evening Post. Z
