INSPECT STREETS
THAT ARE TO Be
IMPROVED SOON

Chairman John j. Clark, of the
street committee, Mayor Ferd Garrett
son, City Engineer Mason an d Street
Commissioner Adair in company with
Representative McEndoo, of the Has
tings Paving Company, and Contrac-
tor McKeon, of Graham & Mckeon,
are today inspecting the streets
about to be improved. Mr.. Clark
stated this morning that he had ask
ed the other parties to confer in de-
vising the most feasible and eXpe-
ditious means to pursue in paving
Amboy avenue. The chairman de-
clares that this is one of the main
arteries of traffic in this vicinity,
and he desires the work to be done
with as much haste and as little in
convenience to users of the road as
is possible. There is no reason why
half-doZen gangs of workmen
should not be employed, as there are
many men out of work now, he said.
Mr.. Clark intends to have the work
pushed as rapidly as possible, and
hopes that it will be possible for
same to be started Monday.
Paving blocks numbering 1870, 900
have been transferred to Cortlandt
street, and actual work is to be
started Monday. Mr.. Clark stated
that because of the necessary delay
which has upheld the paving of New
Brunswick avenue, when work is
started it will most likely be done in
sections, because of the probably ap-
proach of winter weather before the
whole work can be completed.

PUT SAFES NEAR
STREET URGES
POLICE CHIEF

Chief of Police Patrick j. Burke
issued what he called a seasonable
and timely warning to merchants
and other business men this morn
ing. He exhorts them to move their
safes close to the street, so that pass
ing patrolmen may have full view of
them, and so that they will not be
exposed to the hazard of being easily
cracked by yeggmen.
The chief declared that since so
many people are out of work, that
more have taken the profession OF
entering iron money receptacles, and
that he notices new gangs OF cracks
men working in different parts of the
country. He says that when the safe
is placed way back in the rear of the
store that the scientific "yeggs" can
easily get next and have it open
with such little noise that it is i'm
possible for officers in the street to
hear the explosion and protect the
money vaults He referred to the
robbery of the City Market, where
"yeggs" made clean getaway be-
fore any resident knew they were
there. The safe was located about
100 or more feet from the front door
and behind a partition which, with
the muffling of the explosion, the
concussion was not heard by even
people asleep in the adjoining build
ing.

SOUTH AMbOYAN
RELATES VIVID
STORIES Of WAR

When the Italian steamer Taor-
nina docked at New York yesterday
morning, one of the passengers who
was the happiest to get away from
the war scenes Of Europe, was Jo-
seph Lesczyk, a South Amboy butch
er, who went through many thrill
ing experiences on the continent.
Lesczyk, who is Polish, was in
AustroH Hungary at the outbreak of
the war, and he recites many appall-
ing incidents that he witnessed in
that country, when war was declared
against Servia. When the situation
became threatening, Lesczyk, in cars
crowded with refugees, made his way
to Italy, after journey consuming
six days, during which me-he was
stopped several times, being mis-
taken for Russian spy.
Lesczyk had purchased a return
passage on the steamer Vaderland,
but since this vessel did not sail he
was obliged to go to Genoa, Italy,
where he managed, after great diff

MANAGEMENT READY
TO RETURN MONEY
Holders of Season Tickets to High
School Football Games May Re
ceive 25 Cents on Application.

Although it was no fault of the Brat
tleboro high school that two games on
the football schedule which were to
have been played here were not played,
owing to cancellation and the snow, the
management is ready to return p cents
to all holders of season tickets who
viii apply to Manager Joseph Austin
of the football team or to Principal +.
Burr Smith Of the high school.
One of the two games was cancelled
by Springfield high school and the last
game, that with the Alumni which was
to have been played yesterday morn
ing, could not be played because of the
snow on the ground at Island park.
As season tickets had been sold in ad-
vance and called for admission to those
two games the high school football
management would be glad to return
the proportionate cost OF those tickets
to all who will apply for it, There is
no other way Of returning the price
as no record was kept of those who
bought the season tickets.

PULLEN THE WINNER.
Covers 800 Miles in Automobile Race
at Rate of 81 Miles an Hour.

CORONA. Cal, Nov. p. = Covering
800 miles at an average of 81 miles
an hour, Eddie Pullen won the annual
Corona road race yesterday and estab-
lished a new record. Eddie O Donnen,
new conner, was second, and Barney
Oldfield was third.
The times were: Pullen, 3.26.32;
O Donnell, 3.29.lS; Oldfeld, 3.2950; De
Palma, 3.31.53.
Pullen established his high average
despite many stops at the pits. and to
do it he frequently tore over the 2.76-
mile course at a rate of nearly 100
miles an hour.
The race was in doubt until the last
lap. O'Donnell drove up from the rear
toward the end. Until the last few
laps Earl Cooper, the winner of two
Corona races and one Santa Monica
contest, was frequently in the lead.
Nineteen cars started. Eight went
out before the iftieth lap and only six
were still going when the leader com
pleted the 100 laps of the Iace. The
terrific speeds maintained pulverized
the surface of the speedway, and the
emery-lile quality of the dust quickly
wore down the tires.
Bursting tires twice ieopardized

Sporting VeuUs
SCHOOL ATHLETIC
LEAGUE SUGGESTED
Bellows Falls, Keene and
Vermont Academy Mentioned -
Would Increase Interest.

The suggestion that Brattleboro high
school should form a school league with
three or four other high school teams for
competition in baseball, football and
track, has met with considerable favor in
Brattleboro. 1t is understood that in one
other town where the suggestion has been
made it also is viewed with favor.
1t has been suggested that Brattleboro
keene and Bellows Falls high schools and
Vermont academy would make an ideal
school league. The teams are located in
towns easy of access to each other and the
expense of trips would not be very
great.
The teams are generally well enough
and two games with every other team
would give the basis for a schedule that
would be interesting. There would be
greater interest in games between teams
! OF the league than could possibly be the
case in games played with teams from
more remote places.
| The principals of the various schools
would be able to formulate a standard of
| scholarship to which members of the sew
eral teams would be obliged to conform
/ before being eligible for the teams repre-
senting the schools, and in every way a
league would be preferable to the haphaz-
ard method now in vogue with the manag
! crs of the several school teams in trying
to arrange satisfactory schedules.
| In the interests of high school athletics
! it Is sincerely to be hoped that the plan
! IN some form or other viii he adopted.

- Before causing 4 warrant TO he

deavorcd to look upon the whole ques-

The locality is a central one, being

solve another problem that is constant
