MYSTERY OYER
PISTOL SHOTS
Police Endeavor to Solve
ProbIem--Men Are Searched

The police are endeavoring to
solve the mystery of several shots
fired In the northern part of the city
about IL o'clock last night. Two
first fired at IL o'clock aroused resi-
dents IN that section and set Patrol
man Muska ON hasty tour Of in
vestigation. While working on the
case he heard another shot at 1920
o'clock He hurried to the scene
from which 1t was heard, near the
plant of the Architectural Tile and
Faience Company. There he found
six men. They professed to know
nothing about the shooting. A search
of each failed to reveal the weapon.
Oficer Muska believes the shots
were fired by those men and that
they threw the firearm away before
he arrived. Residents near the tile
plant informed the patrolman that
the shots first heard seemed to have
been fired somewhere in the Buda-
pest section west of the Central rail-
road tracks. No arrests were made.

MAN I'LL WITH THE
MEASLES, AT LARGE

Alleged laxity on the part of
authorities here caused a victim of
the measles to wander about the city
and perhaps spread the contagious
disease last night. The case fright
ened the police and the Board of
Health would not handle it. City
Physician Meinzer stated the patient
should be sent to South Amboy, from
whence he came. Mayor Ferd Gar
retson was finally appealed to and
he agreed to open the city's isolation
hospital, but at that time the victim
had wandered away.
The man had been treated for
bronchitis In the Marine hospital at
Stapleton last Friday. Since that
time the attack of measles came on.
The man worked for the Susque-
hanna Coal Company aboard its
barge, the Devon. 1t Is likely he will
be taken aboard again and taken to
New York to be cared for by the
New York authorities.

Efforts of the Salesman.

Persistent endeayors to sell goods
In tenement house at 325 Lawrence
street resulted disastrously for Isaac
Zack, a peddler, early last night. He
was picked up by husky hands and
thrown bodily from the house when
his persistence became unbearable to
the tenants. When he landed with a
thump he was too frightened to re-
turn for his pack, believing he might
be attacked, so he summoned Patrol
man Andrew Jensen.
The officer accompanied Zack to
the house occupied by Alex 10th,
where his pack was found. The
residents there told the patrolman
that they did not want any Of the
peddler's goods and had repeatedly
told him so. The bundle of wares
were turned over to the owner and
he was advised to stop further
molesting Of people.

CONTRACTOR
AND UNION END CASE

An action for assault and battery
of Benjamin Spivack, a painting con-
tractor, against Arthur H. Schroeder,
walking delegate of the local paint
ers' union, has been settled out of
court In an amicable manner.
Schroeder was to have been arraign-
ed before Recorder Pickersgill last
night, but the complaint was with
drawn after arrangements had been
made to unionize Spivack's force and
thereby stop annoyance to him.
This action will make an injunc-
ton unnecessary to restrain Schroed-
er from molesting Spivack or any of
his men. He had intended to apply
to the court of chancery for such an
injunction. 1t is understood the set
tlement carries with 1t provision
