Metuchen, May IA small piece
OF pink paper with the name Geo"
written on 1t Is undoubtedly
the means OF saving George R..
Squires from an unknown grave.
Four o'clock yesterday morning a
Pennsylvania railroad track walker
came upon a small portion of mans
hand lying on the Pennsylvania rail
road tracks east of Metuchen station.
Closer investigation showed many
particles of human flesh strewn along
the tracks. The track walker
secured basket and picked up the
various pieces taking them to the
Pennsylvania railroad station.
Coroner Harding viewed the re-
mains but found nothing that would
lead to Identification. He turned the
remains over to Undertaken James
NJ. Petit. Preparing the body for
burial, Mr.. Petit came upon the
pink slip of paper with the name
George written upon it. 1t looked
to him like portion OF billhead
such as is used by the rm of Mann
Ing Freeman & Son, lumber dealers.
So Mr. Petit went to John w. Breen
bookkeeper of the lumber firm and
there learned that George II. Squires

OF Walter Williams of plainfield ave.

yard saying that he had unintention

Squires had, afterward gone to New
Brunswick returning to MetucheI
very late Saturday nigh by Penn

Patrolman Willard B. Hutchinson
had seen him after midnight on hil
way home. That was the last seer
OF Squires alive. How he got on the
railroad tracks is a mystery because
I, the railroad is directly in the oppo.
site direction from which he was go

train. Squires has wife and 81,

Assembly Reconvened This
Afternoon With Both Sides
as Determined as Ever.
INSISTS ON REFERENDUM
Wilson Men Claim Sufficient
Votes to Pass Chancellor
Bill But is Doubted
FIELDER GIVES VIEWS
Prefers McDermott Bill to
Chancellor Measure With a
Referendum as Proposed

Trenton, May 12-With the House
of Assembly deadlocked on the jury
reform question as shown last Fri
day, the early arrivals today among
the law makers predicted that the
only bill that could pass the legisla-
ture will be the chancellor-sheriff
measure with a referendum attached.
1t is expected that at the session of
the assembly this afternoon the
Smith-Nugent assemblymen, led by
Martin, of Hudson, will attempt to
put the referendum amendment into
the Presidents compromise.
The friends OF President Wilson
will insist still that they have votes
enough to pass the chancellor meas

not Beem to be borne out by can
| vass OF the assembly.
Discussing the jury reform strug-
gle today. Governor Fielder declared

| a referendum. he would prefer that
1t be the new McDermott PROPOSE
ton, as this would give some Jury
reform Immediately. This PROPOSE
tion Is to pass the first part of the
| McDermott bill and make 1t law
at once. This section provides for
sheriff drawing juries under rigid
court regulation, also to pass the Sec
ond part of the McDermott bill pro-
viding for Jury commissions appoint
ed by supreme court Justices and
submits to the people upon refer
endum In November. Governor
Fielder pointed out that If the chan
cellor bill were rejected at the polls
the state would have no Jury reform
whatever. The governor still fayore

supreme court justices. the bill to

the chancellor bill were passed and

the chancellor bill with a referen-

that can be secured.
Both sides to the controversy are
beginning to realize that 1t will be
Impossible to pass jury bill without
a compromise. II is thought that
this feeling will result In the passage
by the assembly OF the chancellor's
bill with the referendum attached.
This bill Is now on second reading.
so that the amendment can readily
be inserted this afternoon.
There is little probability OF get

Democratic senator's will break party
lines to support that. and the Re-
publicans have not votes enough to
pass 1t alone. 1t Is believed, there

will agree to take the chancellor bill

Steam Separator
Causes Young
Eartbuuake
WWOREKMEN SAFE

All the trolley cars on the Public
Service Railway Company's lines in
this vicinity were motionless be-
tween lis and 2:15 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon following the explo-
ton of a steam separator at the pow
er plant in Buckingham avenue
which put No. / engine out of COM
mission. But for the quick action of
Engineer William Bennett and Fire
man Antonio Santello, the boilers of
the engine would have been ruined,
following the explosion of the steel
steam separator. They, with other
workmen, had narrow escapes from
serious injury, when the bottom of
the separator, piece of steel thirty
Inches In diameter, was blown out
with such force that nearly all the
windows in the basement of the plant
were smashed from the concussion.
Luckily the men were out Of the
area OF the destructive zone, and the
piece of steel whirled harmlessly to
the floor. However, they were con-
siderably Jared.
The blow out of the separator
= caused the steam from the boilers
to escape from the boilers and would
have also emptied the boilers OF
water and caused the boilers to have
been burned out had not the engl-
Deer and fireman turned off the
steam from the leaking separator be-
fore any further damage had been
done.
The explosion was SO great that
people In Tottenville thought they
felt an earthquake, though It's ef
feet was not so strongly felt in Pert
Amboy. 1t seems that the water fa.
cilitated the conveying of the shock
to the vicinity just across the sound.
Those employees, who with the en-
gineer and fireman had narrow es-
capes from being seriously injured
were the following: Joseph Ged-
ney, Daniel O'Brien, Michael Burke
and Julius Messimer, all of PERTH
Amboy, except the last named, who
IS OF Tottenville.
The cause of the explosion seems
to be that the bottom of the separa.
tor was not properly welded to the
rest of the apparatus. Only one man
was injured In the accident, he hav-
ing his right hand slightly burned by
the escaping steam.
For about an hour after the OK
plosion until the power plant coulf
get the other aux liary engine oper
ating, the trolley lines in the city and
between New Brunswick and Wood
bridge and this place were dead.

Plans are under way and steps are

is between $4,000 and $4,000. De-
tails for the same will be discussed
at the annual meeting of the Perth
Amboy City Hospital Association to
be held In city hall tomorrow night.
1t is claimed by hospital officials
that an addition has long been need
ed, owing to the almost continual
crowded conditions at the institution.
The decision that an extension must
be made with as little delay as pos
sible was reached few days ago al
a joint meeting of the managing com.
mittee and the medical staff OF the
hospital. 1t was decided that two
story wing should be added, which
will probably branch northerly from
| the present male ward. The ground
| floor of the new part will probably
| be used as male ward and the up
per floor may be devoted to private
: rooms, such as are in use on the
second floor of the main portion O

ainment to start raising money fol

J. mittee and the medical staff had beer

ways and means for securing funds

at the head of the committee to hole

the cause, hospital officials antici
