Company (New Jersey CENTRALLY
New Brunswick avenue and the
Perth Amboy and Elizabethport
Railroad.
Smith street and the Perth Am
boy and Elizabethport Railroad.
Market street and the Perth Ann

The city's petition declares that
all the crossings named are danger
Gus to public safety, and that public
travel on them is impeded by the
railroad traffic; that they are all in
built up section of the city where
view OF the tracks is obstructed by
freight houses, factory buildings,
coal sheds and embankments. 1t is
shown that the only protection af-
forded is by the usual form of single
bar railroad gates operated by hand,
Accompanying the city's petition Is
schedule showing the amount of
traffic over each crossing. For ex-
ample, 1t is shown that on March "a,
last, the traffic over New Brunswick
avenue crossing was as follows: Pc
destrians 5.565; wagons, 1,313: au-
tomobiles, $40, and railroad trains,
.95.
The railroad company in its an
swer denies that any OF the crossings
mentioned are dangerous to public
safety or that public travel Is i'm
peded by them. 1t alleges that the
single barred gates afford all neces-
sary protection TO persons and Yehl-
cles using the crossing. 1t denies,
too, that all of the crossings are In
built up section of the city and
that the view of the tracks is- OBJ
strueted. On the contrary, the COM
pany claims that persons using the
crossing and taking ordinary cars
can see and hear approaching frainE-
The company claims further that
If the Public Utility Commission
shall order the crossings removed,
such order will require changes in
the grade or location, or the removal
entirely of the property Of twenty
business firms or corporations in the
city. The company asks that the Pc
tition of the city be dismissed.
The hearing on the petition will
take place at the State House on
Tuesday, June 3, and will be the
first formal step on the part OF the
Public Utility Commission in the di
rection of carrying out the provision
of the Fielder act, which was one
of the biggest propositions before

Walter Zehrsr and Patrol
man Calvin Have AItQrca-
tion in Smith Street.
BLUEC0AT PULLS GUN
AND ARRESTS OFFENDER
Hearing of Case Set for 7
O'clock Tonight-- Witness
es to be Heard.

Patrolman William Calvin was
deprived Of his night stick for sever
al minutes last night when he order
ed Walter Zehrer, a husky ironwork-
er of 1873 First street, to go home.
Zehrer seized the club from the
officers hand and only gave it up
when covered with Calvin's revolver.
He was arrested ON charges of dis
orderly conduct and interfering with
an officer. His father pleaded for
his release several hours after the
arrest and Zehrer was paroled for a
hearing before Recorder Pickersgill
at o'clock tonight. He claims to
be innocent Of any wrongdoing and
intends to furnish witnesses to prove
that Officer Calvin had no right to
interfere.
Zehrer claims he was not breaking
the peace but simply affectionately
embracing friend at Maple and
Smith streets about $50 o'clock last
night when Calvin came up and Or
dered them to go home. Zehrer says
he grabbed the officers night stick,
but with no wrong intentions. He
has host of friends in police circles
and they assert he is usually a law
abiding citizen.
Calvin has different opinion OF
Zehrer and claims he ought to serve
a term in state prison. AS The otfi-
Ger was standing at Madison avenue
and Smith street, last night. a mo-
torman stopped a trolley car and in
formed him that there was a fight in
progress at Maple and Smith streets.
Calvin ran up and found two men
wrestling on the sidewalk. He broke
them apart and ordered them to go
home. One went and zehrer, he
claims, stopped to argue. OH give
you one more chance; go home and
behave yourself said the officer. At
that moment he was swinging his
nightstick and Zehrer grabbed it. In
an instant Calvin whipped out his
revolver and pointed 1t directly at
Zehrer with an order to give up the
club. He did and was arrested.
Calvin experienced much difficulty
with the prisoner as he resisted vio-
lently. Zehrer has a reputation for
ability to fight, according to the
police.
