Total DAMAGE is
Likely TO Near
100000
WATER SCARCE

The plant Of the Ostrander Fire
Brick Company at Keasbey was al
most totally destroyed by fire early
this morning. The estimated dam
age is between $4,000 and 100000.
The flames were fought with buckets
of water drawn from a nearby stream
as the plant is in an isolated location
in the meadows and there are no fire
plugs in that vicinity. There were
water pumps in the engine room, but
because of the isolation of the plant
they could not be manned before the
engine room was in flames, which
prevented anyone entering to operate
the apparatus. The fire originated
from the hot air blowers, which are
supposed to be freproof, but which.
becoming defective, let flames escape
and ignite the pallets, or wooden
dryers on which the brick are bask-
ed. 1t is believed that the company
will rebuild Immediately. More than
125 men are thrown out of employ
ment by the devastating flames.
About 3 O'Clock this morning the
watchman Of the plant discovered
the flames which had broken out
from the blowers and were eating
away the dryers. He ran down to
the engine room, where he blew the
fire alarm whistles, to which both
the Keasbey and the Fords fire COM
panies responded. Much time, how
ever, was lost In the firemen getting
to the scene because the plant is
situated in the meadows In an incon-
Venient place to reach. When they
arrived they found four of the seven
buildings, most of which are built
together, in which the brick are
made, In flames. They tried to enter
the engine room but Immediately
found that such was impossible.
Then they resorted to their last re-
course and formed a bucket brigade
and worked untiringly to extinguish
the flames with this modest and old
fashioned system. For several hours
the flames ragged in the buildings.
one of which was a two-story brick
structure and the other three that
were destroyed by the flames being
one story brick and the second story
wood, the first floor being of brick.
BY their energy ia passing X
buckets the hard-working tiremen
managed to save the small office
building little distance from the
main plant, the carpenter and black
smith shop nearby and the boiler
room. The boiler room adjoined the
engine room which was destroyed,
but was separated with a freproof
wall which aided the efforts of the
firemen.
superintendent Walter Durham,
of Fords, arrived at the plant soon
after the start of the confagration
and assisted in directing the efforts
of the men.
The company was busy Just at this
time with accumulated orders, and
are now in a dilemma as how they
will be filled. as this was the only
plant of the company. They used to
have one at Troy, New York The
damage is covered partially or alto
gether by insurance.

.0STRANDER FIRE BRICK PLANT IN
RUINS FROM BLAZE EARLY TODAY
ALDERMEN BALK
ON THE CURFEW

With the presentation OF a huge
petition for the establishment of a
curfew law in this city there appear
ed a delegation OF representatives
from the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union at the Council meeting
last night. They urged the aldermen
to open schools and other public
buildings at night for the reception
of children and young people in or
der to keep them off the streets.
The petition, which was signed by J.
H. Lanning and hundreds of others,
was referred to a committee of the
whole.
The petitioners requested that
children under the age of sixteen
years be kept off the streets after 8
O'Clock at night from October 1 to
March 81, and after o'clock at
night from April to September 80.
In speaking in behalf of the petition
ers, Mrs. George d. Runyon said they
were intensely interested in the
moral welfare of the boys and girls
of the city, particularly the foreign
element, In which many good-hearted
mothers meant to do all right, but
thought their daughters could walk
the streets of the city at night with
safety. She Informed the aldermen
they knew that was not true, as the
streets were not adjudged safe

STEAM ROLLER
OF CITY SOLD
J. c. Fowler Purchases Big
Machine for $500.

The city steam roller was sold last
night to j. c. Fowler, contractor,
for $500. He was the only bidder
in accordance with the terms of the
advertisement issued by Comptroller
James A. Rhodes. The closing hour
for the receipt of bids was s o'clock.
Bids were advertised for to be re-
ceived at the same time for the old
Simplex motorcycle formerly used by
the police department, but no bids
were received. Although considered
one of the most expensive motor
cycles ever delivered in this city, 1t
is now claimed to be a heap of al
most worthless junk, for which rea-
son no offers were made for It, A
twin-cylinder Indian machine used
by the mounted squad of the police
department is undergoing repairs
following an accident several days
ago in which Mounted Patrolman
George Kozusko ran 1t into a stoop.
1t appears to be the intention OF
the aldermen to purchase a modern
steam roller which is lighter than the
one Just disposed of and deemed
more servicable for street work in
this city. In the words of one alder
man. "a handy little roller" is de-
sired.

GIVE EVIDENCE
FOR THE STATE
important Testimony in Wood
Dynamiting Trial

Boston, May 20.-Dennis J. Col
Inns, deserted his co-defendant and
took the stand for the prosecution
when the trial of William M. Wood,
President of the American Wooden
Company and Frederick Atteaux, mill
supply manufacturer, indicted on a
charge of planting dynamite at Law,
renee to discredit the strikers, was
resumed today. Judge Crosby de-
clared Collins testimony would have
corroberated from independent
sources.
After arriving In Lawrence, Col
Inns said the big package was open
ed and sticks put into half dozen
smaller packages. Breen did not tell
him what the packages contained, he
said, merely referring to his as
Juice" Collins said Breen asked
him If he knew Wood, and Collins
said he did not. At first Collins
said this was the only reference to
Wood, but later admitted that he
told District Attorney Pellitier In his
Office Friday that Breen told him he
was backed by Wood and other
millionaires.
He told Of meeting John ]. Breen
in Boston. Breen, he said, gave him
a package to carry, telling him to
keep away from him while on the
train. They went to Lawrence, he
said. The package weighed about
forty pounds. Breen was fined $500
when he pleaded quilting to planting
dynamite. :
Proof of the actua. existence of
a conspiracy to plant dynamite at
Lawrence to discredit the strikers
there, was to be introduced when
the trial of Wood and his associates
was resumed. District Attorney Pell-
etier announced that he had witness
ses to be sworn who had actually re-
covered the dynamite. Other witness
ses, he said, would show that John
Breen was in the pay of Defendants
Wood and Atteaux and that Collins
Was Breen's accomplice. The at
Lorneys for the defense are endeavor-
Ing to prevent the opening of the
entire Lawrence strike situation dur
Ing the trial.

place for a girl after dark. Mrs.
Runyon maintained that while there
were no places at present to send
them, there were many places not as
bad as the streets. She emphasized
that there would be pleasure If the
public schools could be opened nights
for children to read and study and
even for the transaction OF their
little love affairs.
Chairman Henry w. Sandbeck, Jr.,
said the proposition was brought be-
fore the Council rather suddenly and
1t desired time to consider it and to
make observations of its workings in
other cities. To this Mrs. Runyon
replied the scheme had been tried in
seventy-two cities in New York state
and It could be found working sue
cessfully about the country.
Alderman f. A. Seaman said he
felt at sea concerning the subject, as
he had not had time, or had not
taken time to study it. He desired
to know the character OF cities which
have tried the curfew law and of It's
success, what changes 1t has brought
about, etc. He recommended that
the agitators for the movement re-
ceive such information and present
it to the Council, as IL that duty was
left with the board the entire propo-
sition might be lost.

MESHROW GETS
BOARDS OFFER
May Receive S25 a Month
as Truant Officer.

John Mesbrow, who retired from
the police force last Thursday, is
still working as truant officer and
will continue as such II he decides to
accept an offer of $50 month from
the Board of Education. That is the
amount the board has decided to give
him, which would make his monthly
income from the city about $75.
Without working as truant officer he
would receive about $50 month,
the amount allowed under the police
pension law
Heretofore Mr.. Mesifow had been
member of the police force as a
patrolman but working as truant
officer and receiving full pay as
policeman. When the new four-squad
and platoon system of police distri-
button was made effective and it be-
came known that Mr. Meshrow
would again have to don a uniform
and work as patrolman, he object
ed, declaring that during service as
a railroad conductor and later as
police officer he had worn uniforms
for about thirty-fve years, and he
considered that was long enough.
He applied for retirement, which the
Council granted, he having served
the required number of years and
being past the minimum age limit.
His engagement by the Board OF
Education will probably be taken up
at Its next meeting in June. Until
that time he will most likely con-
tinue to serve in anticipation OF pay
at the rate then to be decided upon.
School commissioners seem pleased
with Mr.. Meshrow's work. Despite
his age and long years of service, he
Is unusually active, Is capable of do
Ing much walking and serves eff
ciently as truant officer.
