To SAFEGUARD
SMITH STREET
Tar and Gravel To Protect
Pedestrians and Horses.

AS means of safeguarding pedes-
trians and horses from falling on the
wooden block pavement in Smith
street, between State street and the
Central railroad tracks, tar and
gravel surface is being placed over
the blocks. The process was started
this morning on the northerly side
of Smith street, at the intersection
of New Brunswick avenue. Street
Commissioner George NJ. Adair says
it will be carried out as far as the
supply of material on hand will war
rant.
Since the time that wooden block
pavements were first used in this city,
they have been found to be extreme
ly dangerous to man and beast, es-
pecially when the blocks are wet,
according to police and other reports,
Dampness causes the surface Of such
a pavement to become extremely
slippery, so that pedestrians fall in
stepping on and off curbs and horses
very often fall in going straight
ahead and more often when belns
driven around a corner. Dry gravel
was used at Smith and State streets
few days ago when the pavement
there was slippery. 1t served the
purpose well for a day or so, after
which it was blown away. BY using
tar preparation the gravel can be
held in place. The street department
is now using that combination.

Michael FoICh Was Ground To
Bits When Struck by C. R. R.
Train This Morning While
WaIkinn Acng Tracks.
TWO OTHER MEN ESCAPED
CICtt@@"ng Covered Heads And
Were Unable to Hear Train
Body a Horrible Mass of
Flesh, Bone and Blood.

One man was ground to death
under the wheels of a northbound
Central passenger train and two
others experienced a very narrow
escape from a similar death near
Alpine street and just south of the
WX tower in the northern section of
the city shortly after 10 o'clock this
morning. The victim is Michael
Folch, forty-two years old, who lived
in what is commonly known as the
Budapest section, which is near
where he met his death.
Walking Along Tracks.
1t is claimed that the three men
were walking along the northbound
track at the time of the fatality. The
fact that they were heavily clad with
coats having high collars and hats
which covered the greater part OF
their heads, due to the cold weather,
is believed to have impaired theiT
hearing to such an extent that they
did not know of their danger until
the train was upon them. According
to Coroner James j. Flynn's findings,
Folch's companions parted, one to
the right and the other to the left,
as the train was close behind them.
Folch. who was in the middle was
knocked down by the front of the
engine and was rolled under the
ponderous locomotive and then
ground under the wheels, The body
was cut up into a horrible mass of
flesh, bone and blood, and strewn
along the track for several hundred
feet Both arms and legs were
severed and the trunk was twisted
and torn into shapeless mass, The
/ top of the head was torn off. -
The train WAS No. 1862, which leff
| the Central railroad station in this
city at 1906 O'Clock this morning.
Trainmen claim to be blameless, de-
claring the men were walking on the
company's property, The victim
boarded here, and is survived by a
wife and five little children who live
in Europe.

SUNDAY SELLING
CASES IN COURT.
Hearing Tonight Before Recor-
der In Five Cases.

Speculation is rife concerning the
outcome of five Sunday selling cases
now pending before Recorder Pick
ersgill. Three are scheduled to be
heard at Z o'clock tonight and a de-
cision may be rendered in fourth.
While the mayor, recorder and po-
lice desire to aid the clerks and store
keepers In every way possible, 1t
appears that they are not disposed
to prosecute in cases of technical vic
lations and where regular Sunday
business is not done, but few arti-
cles are sold for accommodation,
Mayor Ferd Garretson says that he
has been forced to make Sunday pur-
chases of provisions sometimes to
provide for his needs because some
thing was forgotten on Saturday.
The mayor holds and the recorder
and police practically coincide with
him, that there should not be pros
ecution where accommodation sales
are made. None of these officials
seem to favor a regular open bust
ness on the Sabbath, but concludes
that necessaTies of life should be
provided in cases where they may
have been forgotten on Saturday
or include goods which cannot be
kept we'll under ordinary conditions.
Chief of Police Patrick j. Burke
said that butchers were allowed TO
deliver meats and dairymen to deliv-
er milk Sunday mornings during
warm weather because many people
are minus facilities for properly
keeping such products over night.

GOES To PRISON
IN HIS OWN AUTO
KuehnIe, Atlantic City Boss,
Begins His Year Sentence.
.psc,a, 10 sns EVENING NEWS

Trenton, Dec. Outstanding on
the top step of the famous Egyptian
entrance of the New Jersey State
Prison today, in a characteristic atti-
tude with his feet wide apart and his
hands in his pocket, Commodore"
Louis Kuehnle, former political boss
of Atlantic City, and for years one of
the Republican dictators of South
Jersey, called a goodbye to Melvin
Cain, his chauffeur, and then entered
the prison to begin his sentence of
one year. Kuehnle was accompanied
by Sheriff Robert Ingersom, of Allan
tic county, and Charles Fortney, a
mercantile appraiser of Atlantic City
and a close friend of Kuehnle's.
The party came to the prison in
Kuehnle's own automobile from At
lantic city, the trip having been made
rapidly without accident. 1t was ex-
actly 1910 o'clock when Kuehnle
and those accompanying him stepped
into the prison and the big iron doors
changed shut behind them. Prison
keeper Madden was engaged when
Kuehnle arrived and the prisoner
was received by Thomas Mahaney,
one of the underkeepers.
The prisoner went through all the
routine that takes place with every
convict. His name and sentence were
entered upon the prison books, his
finger print was taken and he was
given a bath. He then donned the
prison garb and was Immediately
placed in a cell in the quarantine
ward of the prison, where he will re-
main two weeks under the rules. The
number given Kuehnle was 2,S72
and during his stay in the prison he
will be known by this number.
AS Kuehnle entered the center,
which is the administration section
of the big penitentiary, he said: II
am here to comply with all your rules
and regulations. / simply want to
be left in quiet"
Kuehnle's prison sentence is re-
suit of his conviction on charge or
grating In connection with $30O,-
600 water main contract while pres1-
dent of the Atlantic City water board.
Following his conviction a deter
mined fight was begun to keep him
out of prison, but he was defeated In
every appeal in the courts.

City Attorney Hommann, 1t Is
Proposed, viii Get Increase
of S1,100-Weights Dept.
Supt. May Get Raise Also.
MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT
Proposition To Increase Yearly
Pay Of Aldermen From $500
To About $500 Has Been
ConSidered-ACtion Unlikely

An ordinance to raise salaries Of
city officials and employees, includ-
ing that of city attorney and per-
haps the aldermen, is said to be in
the course of preparation. 1t may
be introduced and passed upon its
first reading at an adjourned meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen to be
held tomorrow night. AS has been
told, 1t is proposed to increase the
yearly pay of City Attorney c. c..
Hommann from $500 to $4,000.
Aidermen's Increase.
While a proposition to increase
the yearly pay of aldermen from
$500 to $500 has been under con-
sideration for the past several
weeks, 1t appears unlikely that such
action will be taken at this time.
The subject is still under advise
ment, however, and will most likely
be finally settled upon tomorrow
night. In event such a raise is to
effect the aldermen-elect who take
their seats In January, the ordin-
ance must be finally passed by the
present board. 1t would not affect
the salaries of Aldermen F.. William
Hilker, William c. Wilson and an
other alderman because men hold
ing office cannot pass legislation to
increase their own pay, according to
legal advice rendered the present
board.
Want More Than $500.
The aldermen now in Office, In
eluding those who would be affected
by raise and those who would not,
declare man holding the position
should receive considerably more
than $500 year, or $25 a month.
They state much more than that is
often spent In connection with the
office, as on such occasions as rip
arian trips to Trenton, auto inspec-
ton trips to New York, numerous
other kinds of inspection tours, to
charity, to panhandlers, treating and
the like.
Other salary raises under consid-
GRAFTON include the positions of sup
erintendent of the department of
weights and measures and city cleo
trician. The city fathers seem prac-
tically unanimous in that more mon
ey should be paid in those positions.
While 1t Is claimed that the city
attorney receives extra pay for spe-
ciel duties, the aldermen are of the
opinion that he should receive at
least $4,000 a year for his counsel
and other services rendered to the
city. Several lawyers have informed
them that such sum Is too small
for a professional men.

TOCHECK SPREAD
Of D|PHTHER|A
Due To Children In Schools
From Infected Homes.

That the spread of diphtheria here
is due largely to permitting children
from infected homes to attend school
and that the death rate for preven-
table diseases here, such as diphthe-
ria and tuberculosis, is exceptionally
high, were the statements made last
night by Health officer Willsey in
submitting his monthly report to
the commissioners. His remarks
brought about the adoption of a
resolution, which will be sent to the
board of education urging a more
frequent and thorough inspection OF
the schools. The direct blame, how
ever, is placed upon physicians who
fail to report contagious cases
promptly.
At present, the time of the in
spectors Is mostly taken up in eff
orts made to check the spread OF
diphtheria. There were twenty-eight
cases reported last month out OF
which there were four deaths. Off
Ger Willsey claims that work of this
kind is like that of the police de-
partment in being preventive
More deaths are caused, he says, by
III
ence, and there is a greater loss
caused by sickness than by burglary
without the deaths which have been
caused in the last two years by diph-
iberia and tuberculosis, the death
rate here would have been very low.
Willsey places the blame at the
door of the physicians who allow
children to attend school two OF
three days before the health officials
know that the disease exists. In
one instance, he claims, child died
and others in the neighborhood
were running in and out of the in
fected house before report was
made. He suggests that rules be
adopted requiring every physician te
notify the officials at once of every
communicable disease in addition tt
the formal written report.
In his report, the health officer
says that the milk situation here is
being greatly improved. Inspections
are being made regularly and tests
of milk show that a majority OF
that being sold here Is of fair quail
ity. An inspection trip of dairies
in the northern section of the state
is to be made shortly.
Sixty-nine house to house tnspec-
tions were made last month. Thirty
four preliminary inspections were
made preparatory to the enforcement
of the common towel ordinance. OF
the thirty-four places visited, con-
sisting of restaurants, saloons, ho-
tells and barber shops, eighteen were
found to be using common towels;
five had paper towels, two individual
towels and nine had none.
Eighty-one plumbing permits were
issued.

Since Eve got te do some gambling, I rather prefer to do it out in the open, with an opponent who is ab- solutely fair and honest, even though she sometimes is mighty unexpected, viz; cur old friend Madame Nature.
 lt's mighty interesting to watch her game. And. sometimes, it's mighty satisfying to catch on' to some one or two of her little tricks and turn a Jack on her when a more careless player wouldn't knew there was one left in the pack.
 The only one piece of advice I feel justified in giving to all farmers, everywhere iS:-Learn the game. Learn it as it is being played right on your own farm. Try things out. Don't t be too modern to test old traditions. Don't be too bigoted to experiment with new ideas.
 Learn the game Learn from your own mistakes as well as from your own or others successes. Watch your invisible opponent as a cat watches a mouse. Get on to her curves when ever and wherever you can. Beat her out every time chance or skill enable you.
 And. when it turns out otherwise and she beats you. just grin back at her and.-try 1t right over again some other wayi
