HORSE OF COP
IN WILD DASH

Mounted Patrolman William 7.
Hartmann, who risked his life yes
terday to stop a runaway horse
driven by Max Gibian, had a narrow
escape from death this noon when
the city's horse on which he was
riding ran away on Hall and Amboy
avenues. AS the officer was giving
chase to q horse of Garfield Engine
Company, which ran loose with a
halter attached, hs own steed took
the bit between rs teeth and would
not stop. 1t ran slid with the officer
on its back, down Hall avenue from
Amboy avenue, through Lawrence
and Johnstone streets
The fire department horse turned
into Barclay street and his steed car
ried him down Amboy avenue. As
he reached the Lehigh Valley cross
ing the gates were down. He feared
being pitched in front of an ap.
preaching train. With great presence
of mind he gave a mighty pull or
one rein and managed to swing this
horse so as to cause it TO go iii 6
circle until it stopped.
The Garfield horse kicked hin
severely on the right knee. The
police horse is under the care of {
veterinarian for bruises about the
legs.

2 SOUTH AMBOY MEN
ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Deny Attack on
Peter Sanders in
Smith Street,
WITNESS FOUND

Two South Amboy men accused OF
holding up Peter Sanders, of Me-
chanicsville, and taking his watch,
wedding ring and about $40, are
in Jail. Chief of Police Patrick j.
Burke made good his boast to have
them in time for arraignment at
O'Clock last night. They were placed
under $500 bonds each to await the
action of the grand jury on a charge
of highway robbery. The men,
George Jerome, thirty-three years
old, and Patrick Keating, twenty
seven years old, denied the charge.
While Sanders was being dragged
from the sidewalk into the doorway
of Slobodien's shoe store at 143
Smith street, probably drugged ac-
cording to his own testimony, and
robbed, Patrolmen Calvin and Koz-
usko stood together conversing about
200 feet away, according to an eye
witness. The latter found them at
Smith and State streets, about hail
block from the scene of the holdup,
Sanders said he came from hls
home near South Amboy to this city
Thursday night. He purchased
new wedding ring here and after
wards had a number of drinks in the
Ernst House. When asked by the
chief of police if he had not been
very drunk. he admitted he had been
somewhat under the influence of
liquor, but claimed he had his senses.
He stated the holdup men probably
drugged him, for he was but partial
ly conscious after the deed and was
i'll yesterday.
Gus Perdeckos, waiter in the
Plaza restaurant, was on his way
home about 230 A. NJ. and thus be-
came an eye witness to the robbery.
On his testimony Jerome mad Keat-
ing were held. The alleged victim
could not positively identify them as
the guilty persons. He said he knew
them and believed they followed him
from the Ernst House to the scene OF
the holdup. He was hit on the head,
knocked down and dragged ffftTa-ls
doorway, he claimed. Perdeekos saw
the men run to Market street. 1t
was afterwards learned they ran
westward on Market street and
caught a freight train bound for
South Amboy.
Perdeckos ran to Smith and State
streets and notified the patrolmen.
When they reached the scene of the
robbery Sanders was standing up,
somewhat dazed, and going through
his pockets as though in search of
something. He said he had been
held up and robbed. The officers
started in pursuit and worked all
night on the case with little result.
Chief OF Police Burke and his de-
tectiyea became busy on the case yes
terday. After getting into communi-
cation with Chief of Police Mcdonald,
of South Amboy, Detective Sergeant
Huff nabbed the men In South AM
boy. They were locked up shortly
before z O'Clock last night and were
given hearing this morning. Jerome
was taken from a tugboat on which
he worked as a deckhand. Keating
is a former saloonkeeper of South
Amboy, according to the police

COP SHOCKED
AT CALL BOX
Close Call With Death.
1900 Volts Overhead.

Dampness last night caused police
call box No. 45 at New Brunswick
avenue and Convery Place to be
charged with electricity from an
overhead wire carrying 900 volts.
Patrolman John ]. Reager was
shocked as he attempted to send In
a call and experienced narrow es-
cape from probably serious injury.
AS result, City Electrician Jay B.
FRANKIE began outlining plan this
morning to remove all boxes from
poles carrying the heavily charged
lines, as a precaution for the safety
of policement and pedestrians.
Public Service lines extending
along New Brunswick avenue carry a
heavy charge of electricity between
this city and the power house at
Metuchen. AS the voltage, esti-
mated at 10000, is adjudged ex-
tremely dangerous In such instances
as occurred last night, the city cleo
trician will remove the call boxes
from poles supporting the wires to
others in side streets extending from
New Brunswick avenue southwark.

NEW "a INCH
MAIN IN USE

Water pressure will be boosted to-
day by means of the new twenty
four-inch main under Raritan river,
which will be put into service. In
the past the city has received Its sup
ply of water from the Runyon pump
ing station through twenty-four-
inch main and an old eighteen-inch
line. 1t is the intention of the water
commissioners to use the two twen-
ty-four-inch lines and abandon the
smaller main, which has been in SER
vice since the Runyon plant was
first established.
Chocolate colored water was sup
piled yesterday. The reason was de-
cIared to be unknown at the water
department office. 1t was said it
might be caused by an extraordinary
draught. The indicator on the
water pressure register at city hall
was pulsating for time yesterday,
as to indicate there was a very heavy
draught on the supply.

Quoting the expense from the gross
earnings We have a net profit of 3d.,
46950098, that these fire insurance
companies have made in Maine in the
last forty-three years an average an
nual net profit of $57,430.21. 1t should
be remembered of course that this av-
erage annual net profit has been divd-
ed among various companies. In other
words, for every dollar the citizens Of
Maine have paid the insurance COM
panies for insurance only four cents
has been net profit. These facts seem
incredible, but the data is on file and
open to the inspection of anyone in
terested enough to investigate. The
point for us to bear in mind is that
there will not be any reduction of the
fire rate until the fire waste has been
reduced. The people must be made to
see that the remedy is within them
selves, and when they fully realize
this, we can look for and will have
results of a satisfactory nature. We
are aware that the elimination of fire
waste must be gradual and we are
equally as sure that difficulties of a
serious nature will be encountered
1t is a long tedious task to educate the
masses. They must be taught before
we can expect good results. We are
srue of one thing, however, and that
is the business of the cause, and with
cooperation, patience and persistence
il will ultimately prevail.
We want to impress upon the PEG
pie of Maine as forcibly as we can the
fact that almost every property own
er is directly and every citizen in Maine
| is indirectly affected by fire insurance
! interests. We cannot get behind the
fact that insurance simply shifts th'
distribution of the loss. There mus
| first be established in the minds of oul
people the realization of not SO mucl
what the amount of the waste is as it,
Significance Therefore if We can arouse
the interest of the people in the un
necessary and indefensible waste tina
is gradually impoyerishing us, WI
may hope to have accomplished some
thing in the direction of diminishing
if not entirely removing this misfor
tune.

handling of this great public utility
depends upon the course which tariff
legislation assumes at Washington
during the incoming administration,
as the tariff applies to the pulp and
paper industry. The reciprocity agi-
tation, while not resulting in the
adoption of the schedules by Can
ada, has left materially reduced rates
on pulp and paper in force in the Uni
ted States. The tenor OF tariff talk
is now such as to leave the future of
the Shawmut developments quite un-
certain. Thus far there have been eX-

ST. ALBANS CENTENNIAL.
A Somerset County Town Which Has
Nearly Reached the Century Mark.

The town of St Adams is another
Somerset County town which is near
ing the Tooth university OF It's moor
poration. A century ago, the l4th OF
June, st. Adams was Incorporated and
as a result the citizens of the town are
planning a fitting celebration in order
of the occasion.
1t is probable that the observance
of the event will either be combined
with Fourth of July or come later III
the summer when the town is at It's
best, the summer visitors are all on
hand and something like an Old Home
week can be arranged. Hundreds OF
ST. Adams boys and girls are scatter
ed all over the country, but 1t is be
lieyed that more will come back this
year. to a centennial celebration, than
ever before The village with its shady
streets. the lake and stream, woods
and hills; with enough industries to
give the people employment and some
of the finest farms in Maine, shows
thrift and prosperity everywhere. No
doubt the main celebration will be in
the town hall, the particular pride OF
town, which has been presented by the
wealthy resident, D. d. Stewart, Esq.
The grange has new hall, and there
are a number of new business build
ings and residences which may sur
prise some of the Homecoming people.
The permanent population Of the
town is about 1000 people, but is con
siderably increased in the summer.
The whole town was once owned by
Boston man, Dr. John Warren, who
bought it from the Commonwealth OF
Massachusetts and sold it to the first
settlers. Since the building of the
Somerset & Moosehead railroad, now
leased to the Maine Central, the town
is but three miles from railroad con-
nection, which the summer visitors say
makes it all the better for peace and
luiet.
