Nutting's Bill, Aiding
Prisoners Families, Passes

TRENTON, Feb. 25.-Providing that
inmates of the county jails and peni-
tentiaries may be employed on public
roads at wages of so cents a day,
which are to be used by the wardens
to support those dependent on the
prisoners, House bill No. 226, passed
the Assembly yesterday. 1t was in
troduced by Assemblyman Charles A.
Nutting, of Essex.
He explained the objects of 1t by
pointing out that families and rela-
tives Of prisoners confined in county
jails and penitentiaries under the
present system are often without
means of support and become a
charge on the county. In some cases
also they are in dire need. The ap-
plication of any earnings the pris-
oners might be capable of making
would relieve the situation, he said.
The prisoners are to be employed
only on work in connection with i'm
provement of roads and public high
ways, or upon the grounds of any
county institution. Contractors or
others in charge of the work are to
pay so cents a day for every prisoner
employed, and in every case the
money is to be applied by the warden
to the support of any persons de-
pendent upon the prisoner.

EXTRA! MADISON MILK THIEF A DOG
PURLOINS BOTTLES EVERY MORNING

bird dog coming down the street with
what he thought was chicken IN
his mouth. He went out to stop the
canine who, being frightened, dropped
his burden, and was surprised to see
that what the animal carried in his
mouth was not chicken, but quart
bottle of milk. The animal is. q
strange one in that section, and Mr..
Thurston did net remember ever hav-
ing seen him before.
After dropping his prize the intel
ligent creature fingered short dis
lance away to see If his tormentor
would leave the milk alone. but as
he saw his favorite food taken away
he disappeared from the neighbor-
hood.

name on the bottle and asked him if
he had been missing milk. Chief of

a resident of Myrtle avenue, was no

BATTLE THROUGH
SMOKE TO SAVE 6



succeeded in opening the windows.
Taking advantage of this little fresh
air they were able to locate William
Kelley, unconscious from smoke in
his bed on the third floor. He was
taken to the street by Patrolman
Collins
The firemen who had arrived mean
while, assisted Patrolman Geotter in
finding and rescuing Thomas Ander-
son on the top floor. When he had
been carried to the street and re-
vived, Collins started back into. the
burning building to make another
trip of rescue. The smoke had be-
come so dense, however, that before
he reached the second floor landing,
he toppled backward and would have
fallen down the stairs II Chief En-
gineer Paul j. Moore, who had just
arrived with the firemen, had not
caught him. The officer was taken
to the street and later revived, some
what the worse for his experience.
Heroic Rescue.
Probably the most daring rescue
was that of Mrs. Amelia Ervy, forty
years old, who had a room on the
fourth floor. Her rescue was due to
the bravery of Firemen Schmeidle, of
No. l Engine, and Eggleston, of No.
l Truck, who after several attempts
against the heavy smoke and suffo-
eating fumes managed to climb to
the top floor. She was found lying
on the floor near a window to which
she had struggled in an effort to get
air. Her condition was so serious
when she reached the street that she
was taken to the home of neigh
Dor and later to the City Hospital.
This morning she was reported slow
ly recovering, but suffering from ner-
vous shock and exposure.
Six other roomers who were awak-
ened by the smell of smoke were able
to make their way out of the turning
building assisted by firemen. These
were taken into the houses nearby
and given beds and clothes for the
night. Several today were reported
suffering from exposure on being
| forced to the street in their night
| clothes and some partially clad who
had attempted to dress before leav-
ing the building.
Damage Amounts to $500.
The damage done by the fire is es-
1
covered by insurance. The building
| is a. four-story frame structure. The
,drst floor and basement are used foi
stores and the upper three floors are
occupied by Mrs. Emma G. Driscoll
who conducts a furnished-room house
| The basement, where the re is said
to have started, from an, unknown
cause, was occupied by NJ. Friedman
shoemaker, who suffered the heavi-
est loss by the kre.
| The stores on the first floor were
occupied by Robert Frank, who con.
ducts a clothing and tailor shop; S
| S. MetZger, a grocer, and l.. Cohen
who has a bird store. The stores ant
basement were heavily damaged by
water The fire started in the real
| of the basement and burned its way
to the third floor before it was gottei
under control. For a time adjoining
property was threatened by thu
flames and tenants began moving
their valuables to the street. A mum
Der of birds from Cohen's bird stor,
were rescued by Patrolman JOIN

who also saved groceries and cloth
