A heavy work horse became
frightened in the yards of the Perth
Amboy plant of the National Fire
proofing Company shortly after 2
o'clock today and dashed through
thickly trafficked Smith street for
about q mile. The animal was only
stopped when he fell on the slippery
pavement at State and Smith streets.
The animal broke loose and ran as
the driver was about to hitch its
shafts to truck, bounded through
the gate of the yards and dashed
down Smith street, narrowly missing
numerous buggies and automobiles
in it's mad run. Patrolman Quinlan
tried to stop the animal near the
Central railroad tracks, but the
horse would not slacken its speed
Patrolman Tonnesen got In front of
him as 1t neared State street and the
animal capered and slipped. Before
he could rise the officer, Alderman
Wilson and several others had caught
him. The runaway caused no dam
age except to the shafts and whiffle-
tree, which were splintered as they
bounded over the railroad tracks.

with fresh fuel when he got too
close, and his jacket was set atire.

toward his home, and was met by his
mother, who had heard tho commo-
tion and started for the scene.

1t is the belief of the executive
that this, the third event of its kind
in this city, will be more generally
observed next week than 1t has been
during the past two years. Every
body seems TO be taking deep in
terest in the scheme. The public has
been at work cleaning and ridding
their property of rubbish since the
first announcement of cleanup week
appeared about a month ago. The
street department will cooperate
with the garbage contractors and
employees, horses and wagons OF
both departments will be used to
remove rubbish from curb lines.
Garbage and such rubbish as is u.s.
ually put out, should be placed in
receptacles, but back yard and cell
lar accumulations and the like may
be placed ON the curb line without
being enclosed in a receptacle and it
will be picked up or shovelled into
the garbage wagons and removed.

Washington. April 25.-It was said
that so far President Wilson has taken
no personal hand in the civil war IN
Colorado. Some time ago he directed
the federal mediation board to try to
settle the conflict, but its efforts were
unsuccessful
"The governor of Colorado has not
asked for troops" said Secretary Tu-
multy. Unless he does ask the presi
dent has no authority to interfere in a
situation over which state authorities
have exclusive jurisdiction"
The Colorado strike occupied much
of the attention of the cabinet meet
ing President Wilson and his advisers
discussed the strike and its causes In n
vain effort to find some way whereby
the government could interfere. They
reluctantly concluded, however, that
so long as the governorsof Colorado re-
Trains from asking the federal govern
ment to send It's armed forces into the
coal regions the administration must
remain passive.

MYSTERY ABOUT
RED AUTOMOBILE
Van PeIt Declares He Was Not
Speeding.

Whether there is an exact proto-
type of the dark red, fiye-passenger
automobile owned by James d. Van
Pelt, of South Amhoy, in this city, or
whether some JOY rider took the car
for a ride as 1t was standing near
the Auditorium Thursday night with.
out the owners consent, are ques-
tons still unsolved, but Mr.. VanPelt
proved to the satisfaction of Recorder
Plckersgill chat he was not violating
| the speed law on the streets of the
city that night He swore that he
did not drive his car further north
, in the city that night than In front
of the Auditorium in New Brunswick
avenue. Though the accusation OF
Patrolman Gutowski that Mr.. Van
Pelt insulted him just before he was
arrested was gone over at the hear
ing the officer made no charge on
this count.
Patrolman Gutowski swore that
shortly after o'clock Thursday
night a dark red, fve-passenger car
speeded up Division street, turned
down Barracks street and into Park
avenue, and that it was going at
forty miles an hour. The patrolman
said he followed the machine to
Washington street, where 1t stopped.
He declared there were two men in
the car, and that two women got into
the machine at Washington street
The patrolman stated he followed
the car to State street, and trailed it
to the Auditorium, near which place
he found it standing.
The patrolman said he waited
until Mr.. VanPelt came from the
Auditorium, when he asked him If
he were the owner OF the car. The
officer says Mr.. VanPelt answered
him In q disrespectful manner. The
patrolman says when Mr.. VanPelt
came from the theatre after the show
he said, Where is that crazy fool of
cop that wanted to arrest me-" and
on seeing the officer demanded his
badge number to turn him in" The
patrolman then did not hesitate but
placed Mr.. VanPelt under arrest, and
he was paroled at the police station
for hearing. The patrolman could
not swear that Mr.. VanPelt was in
the car that he had seen speeding,
though he said he was positive the
In front of the Auditorium and
which Mr.. VanPelt claimed to own
Christian Peterson testified that the
dark red, five-passenger car was ex-
ceedng the speed limit.
Mr.. VanPelt took the stand and
swore that he and his sister started
from their home along the Cheese
quake road, near South Amboy,
shortly after 8 o'clock Thursday
night. and that on entering Perth
Amboy they came down Market
street to State, thence to the Audi
torium. He said the car was left
there until he started for home after
the show Mr.. VanPelts sister was
excused from testifying because she
said she could only corrOborate what
her brother had testified to-
A climax was reached during the
hearing when Patrolman GutowslSi,
becoming provoked at the turn of
the testimony, declared to Mr. Van
Pelt, "If you had been a gentleman
you would not have talked to me as
you did" "Will you stand for that,
recorder?" asked Mr.. VanPelt. "You
have counsel" said the recorder. The
incident passed without further man
ifestations OF malice.
