BURNING SHIP

A story of the rescue of Vulturno
passengers in mid-ocean was told
here today by DR.. I. K. Wiener, of
Newark, brother-in-law, of William
N. Hechheimer, of this city. The
physician was aboard the Grosser
Kurfuerst, one of the rescue steam
ers with Mrs. Hanna Wiener, sister
of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Ka-
lisch; her son and daughter and Mrs.
Daisy Solomon.
Still vivid In their minds are the
thrilling and dramatic scenes that
followed the receipt by Captain Span

signal; the race to the side of the
burning ship; the turbulent seas,
the sight of the fire swept vessel
with the passengers huddled franti-
cally in the stern; the daring of the
crew in Drawing the rough seas in
lifeboats and finally the rescue of the
stricken ships passengers.
The stories of the scenes enacted
on the Uranium liner and related to
him by Edward Lloyd, second officer
of the Vulturno, and one of the
greatest heroes of the disaster, with
whom he became very friendly, will
live forever in the mind of DR..

WANT CITY TO
ENFORCE OPEN
MARKET RULES
Resolutions Passed by Trade
Board Directors Complete
Public Meeting Plans
FRANK DEtIkE COMING
--ElECT DIRECTOR

Resolutions urging the council
and the Board of Health to see that
the ordinance governing the farmers
market is enforced and calling atten-
tion to its infraction were passed; |;
final arrangements completed for the
public meeting of the Board Of Trade
Tuesday night, and Albert Leon was
elected director in place of Wilbur
G.. Miller, who has left the city, at
the regular meeting Of the Board of
Directors of the Board Of Trade last
night.
Following complaints the board
appointed special committee to In
vestigate the conditions existing at
the farmers market and it was found
that in a number of instances the
ordinance governing the place of
public sale was being violated. 1t
WAS found that the horses instead Of
being tied in the rear OF the mar
ket were left standing on the street,
that hucksters selling articles of
jewelry, eye glasses, ETC., were TAX
ing advantage of the place, and that
the rule that fruit be sold in bas-
kets or on platforms not less than six
inches from the ground, was being
disregarded. The council was asked
in the resolution passed by the
board to amend the rules governing
the market to give privilege only to
those hucksters who handle farm
products, have regular license and
reside in the city OF Perth Amboy.
This is designed to exclude huck-
sters from other places taking ad-
vantage OF the produce exchange and
to prevent hucksters from selling
anything but farmers produce at the
market.
A committee was appointed to en-
tertain the speaker for the public
meeting of the Board Of Trade at
city hall next Tuesday night. D. P.
Olmstead, Jean Dubois and Secretary
Hugh Lynch were selected for these
duties. The speaker will be Frank

SAYS BLOW ON HEAD
CAUSED MANS DEATH
COUNTY Physician
Makes Report
On Autopsy
MURDER CASE

The verdict of County Physician
carroll that John Vargo, who was
round dead on couch in his board
ing mousse at 70S Cortlandt street
yesterday morning, died as the result
OF a hemorrhage of the brain sus-
tanned from blow, indicates that
the county has another murder on its
hands. The decision was made late
yesterday afternoon following an au-
topsy. Benjamin Kubic, twenty-five
years old, who admits he had an al
tereation with Vargo, is being held
without bail. On application of
Thomas Brown, his counsel, Record
er Pickersgill fixed 4 O'Clock this af-
ternoon as the time for hearing
when Patrolman Andrew Jensen ar
raigned his prisoner this morning.
When the accused man was returned
to cell John Poyich and John Macy.
two material witnesses, went with
him. They are also being held with
out bail.
1t was somewhat of a surprise to
the coroner and police when DR..
Carroll rendered his verdict, as it
was generally believed that vargo
had died from excessive liquor drink
ing. Following the discovery of his
dead body yesterday morning there
came all sorts of testimony concern
ing his alleged drunken spree since
October Is. when he was paid off by
the Atlantic Terra Gotta Company,
People who knew and claimed to
have seen him, declared he had been
drunk continually since that date
Not Deliberately Killed.
While the case now looms up as
one Of murder, it is the opinion of
Chief of Police Burke that Vargo was
not deliberately killed. According to
evidence obtained by the police, he
was very drunk and highly abusive
Thursday afternoon and evening, as
told yesterday. He so far aggravated
Kubic as to cause the latter to hit
him several times, it is declared.
Vargo had his left eye darkened and
was bruised over the bridge of the
nose and over the heart. According
to DR.. Carroll an injury sustained
about the left eye caused the hemol%
rhage which resulted in the death.
He declared the blood had clotted
on the brain. Members of the police
force viewed the brain last night and
corroborated the statements of the
county physician.

New Brunswick, Oct. 1S.-Actual
measurements were made this morn
ing in the county court to ascertain
II the left leg of Paul Masnik, of
Perth Amboy, was shorter than the
other. Mansik claimed that 1t had
been shortened following an acci-
dent when his thigh was crushed
while at work at the Standard I'm
derground Cable Company at Perth
Amboy last February. 1t was found
that the limb was one-half inch shor-
ter than the other, but physicianas

ing his ordinary work. The man,

der the Employers Liability Act,

disability caused by the shortened
limb. Judge DAILY held that it could
not be considered permanent and
awarded the man damages of five
dollars per week for 81 wooks, or
