GIRL LOSES BET TO
RIDE IN BOX CAR
Miss Lulu B. Ingram, of ST.
Louis, Here After Ad-
venturous Trip.

Having last wager of $4,000 when
her attempt to travel from st. Louis
to Newark in a poultry car was made
abortive by railroad detective, who
removed her from the car at Cum
beriand, Md, yesterday, Miss Lula B.
Ingram, the daughter Of prominent
commission poultry merchant of st.
Louis, arrived in Newark late last
night, having completed her inter-
rupted journey on a passenger train.
Miss Ingram. accompanied by her
brother, Harry K. Ingram, left st.
Louis in the poultry car on Wednes-
day afternoon. The difficulty of the
journey she had undertaken was
owing to the fact that, first. she was
compelled to travel in two-by-four
compartment surrounded on all sides
by crates of live, ill-smelling chick
ems. and, second. that a railroad rule
|prohibited more than one person
travelling In a stock-car.
However, all went well until Friday
morning, when the train arrived al
Cumberland. Wishing to make some
lemonade, the adventurous pair had
asked a man in charge of the car
behind them for piece of ice. When
this man brought the ice into their
car he was seen by a railroad de-
tective, who followed in after him,
The detective took hold of Miss In
gram, who was dressed In male at
tire, and proceeded to put her out.
Although she told him her sex he
refused to make exception to the rule,
but held up the train until she had
assumed her proper dress. Then she
was forced to leave.
When the brother, Harry K. In
gram, arrived, together with the car
of chickens, at the Central railroad
freight yard this morning, he found
telegram from his sister saying
that she had taken a train for New
ark. Aided by an Evening Star re-
porter, the young man finally found
his sister at the Continental Hotel.
where she had spent the night.
She was neatly dressed and had
the appearance of a person we'll able
to take care of herself. She did not
appear all fiustered or affected by
her mishap. and said that she had
enjoyed her novel trip immensely.

HERO Who GAVE
SKIN NEAR DEATH
Y. NJ. c. A. Instructor Whose
Sacrifice Saved Nutley Boys
Life Dying in Hospital.

As the tragic climax TO his sacrifice
OF skin. Charles Kaplow, a Y NJ. c.
A. swimming instructor. Is near
death In the Flower Hospital. New
York, today. and the wife he won
by his heroism has vanished.
Twice Kaplow has given large
areas of cuticle to burned children.
The last time was month ago, when
he gave thirty-six square inches to
be grated on William Colwel, of
Nutley.
The wound left by the removal of
this skin became infected and Kap-
low had to go TO hospital himself.
But romance followed him there. He
arose from his bed long enough to
marry Miss Beulah Walters on May
2S
Miss Walters, as a nurse in the
Gouverneur Hospital. New York. had
attended Kaplow when he was re-
covering from the first grating oper-
alton he had submitted to--one that
saved the life of Bertha Wuecker. 1
years old, some time before. Their
friendship ripened into love. When
it was seen that Kaplow, as the result
of his second sacrifice. would need
skin grated on his own body. Miss
Walters and he were married
Preparations for the operation were
made in the Flower Hospital, and
two men among the many who volun-
teered to give skin for Kaplow were
accepted. The operation was to have
taken place on last Tuesday.
Mrs. Kaplow, however. did not ap-
pear at the hospital that morning.
and her husband. worried by her alb
sence, insisted upon postponing the
operation until she could be present.
So far as can be learned Mrs Kap-
low left their home. 81 Metropolitan

she vanished on the way.
Against the advice of the physi-
clans Kaplow insisted upon leaving
his bed. dressing and going to police
headquarters late Thursday night. He
hobbled there with cane and crutch,
haggard and sallow. and asked the
police to send out a general alarm
for his wife.
Kaplow did not get back to the
hospital until very late at night. and
then he was suffering great pain. He
was TO have been operated upon yes
terday, the surgeons having decided
to remove a part of his leg. which
would have ended Kaplows athletic
career.
But when the surgeons saw him
yesterday morning they decided not
to operate. In his trip to police head
quarters he had caught a severe cold
which over night had resulted in ton
silitis The wound was much more
infiamed and Kaplow had a high
fever. They said it would prove fatal
to give ether to him.

EAST ORANGE HAS
BIGGEST. FIRE IN
EIGHTEEN YEARS
Loss of More Than S50,000 to
Seabury 6 Johnson
Factory.
ENGINE COMPANY CAPTAIN
HURT BY FALLING GLASS
Employees to Be Provided With
Work in Parts of
Plant.

The most serious fire in East Or
ange since 1895 occurred early this
morning, when flames gutted the sec
ond and third floors of the main
building of the Seabury & johnson
manufacturing plant at Glenwood
avenue and Glenwood place. A rough
estimate of the damage is placed at
between $4,000 and $4,000 by Fire
Chief William Markwith.
The efficiency of the department
was never put to such a severe test,
and the firemen fought the flames SO
successfully that they succeeded in
saving the first floor, where the prin-
cipal offices of the concern are To-
Gated. The origin of the fire is un-
known.
Informed of the fire by his moth
err who was one of the first to see
the flames, Captain Charles Nc
Ginley. of Chemical Engine No. 1,
who was off duty yesterday and who
lives near the factory, jumped from
bed and hurried to the scene of the
fire, and a few minutes later he met
with serious accident. A shower
of glass fell upon him. severing an
artery in his hand. He was hurried
to the home of DIR. Frank ]. Lock
wood, who sewed the wound. Against
the advise of the physician Mckinley
returned to help fight the flames.
The fire was discovered by James
Mcknight, the watchman, shortly
after $3.50 o'clock. Half an hour be-
fore Mcknight had passed through
the second floor on his rounds When
the department arrived at the fac
tory Fire Chief Markwith realized the
seriousness of the blaze and sent in
a second alarm. This brought oui
the entire department except Engine
Company No. 2. Soon the entire two
floors were enveloped in flames and
the firemen were compelled to fight
the fire at a. distance. so intense was
the heat.
There is a large tank of gasoline
near the main building and CHE.
Markwith and his men succeeded Ii
preventing the flames from reaching
| the explosive.
The concern manufactures surgica
| specialties, and such goods as court
plaster and bandages are put through
the first process on the floors which
were destroyed. Most of the machin.
cry used in the building is light and
to this fact Chief Markwith attributes
the reason why the ceilings did not
cave in.
None of the employees will be af-
fected by the fire, as those who
worked in the main building were
sent to the other structures of the
plant. Most of the employees of the
concern are women.

IFrom q starr Corre.pondent.l


TRENTON, N. j., June THE Su-
preme Court today upheld the consti-
tutionaf1ty of the slaughter-house act
of 1910. The decision was rendered in
the suit of the State Board of Health
against Schwarz Brothers Company,
of Kearny, in which a judgment of
the First District Court, of Jersey
City, Is affirmed.
The concern was convicted of
slaughtering horses for human con-
sumption at its plant in Kearny, in
violation of the law, in that it had no
license.
The meat concern, in attacking the
constitutionality of the act, contended
it did not apply to its business in
that the meat product was for export
trade to Holland. The contention was
also made that the act only applied
to business in this State.
In deciding against the company
the Supreme Court sets both these
contentious aside.
