What Did They Find

Atlanta, March 10. The At
lanta Chamber of Commerce
came in for a roast yesterday af-
ternoon when the city board of
education severely scored it be-
cause of the Chambers refusal
to make public reports on the
school system and other munich
pal departments prepared by an
expert who was brought here
through the Chamber from the
Russell Sage Foundation. At the
same time the board decided that
it would allow no surveys of the
schools by any one except on the
definite agreement that the board
should receive copies of all re-
ports and full data.
The board was unanimous in
the opinion that the action of the
Chamber of Commerce in en-
ploying experts to investigate
the schools and then refusing to
make public the results had a
tendency to injure the schools
and the city.

VETERANS OF 61-65
NAME A. B. & A.
Railroad as "Offical Route"
to Jacksonville Reunion.

Atlanta, Ga. March 19. Camp
Walker and the members of the
other Camps of Confederate Vet
Grams in Atlanta, as we'll as many
of the North Georgia Veterans
will travel to and from the Re-
union at Jacksonville in special
train of Pullman and Tourist
Sleeping Cars and coaches, via
the A. B. & A. Railroad.
The date of the Reunion has
been changed from April 29th-
May 1st to May 6th-8th, 1914.
Because of the many and wide
variety of attractions at Jackson
vile and particularly the Ella
6orate preparations which are
being made for the entertain
ment of the Veterans and their
friends for the next Reunion, it
is anticipated that the largest at
tendance on record will be in the
Florida Metropolis on this occas-
ion.
The very low fares which have
been authorized will be open to
general public. as we'll as to the
Veterans, and it is needless to
predict that an unusual large
number Of persons will take ad-
vantage Of this opportunity to
visit Florida on this occasion,
Side trip tickets at very low
fares will be sold from Jackson
vile to all important points in
Florida, Georgia and States in
the Southeast.
The A. B. & A. Railroad will
permit stop overs at all stations
en-route on its line in either d.
rection, ana this affords an adj
ditional attraction, because of
the tremendous development now
taking place in South Georgia,
which, no doubt, many will de-
sire to see.

Bedding Sweet Potatoes

"How many thousand plants
Will each bushel of sweet potato
es produce? How many square
feet will the bushel bed? How
much time should be allowed for
getting plants large enough to
set?"
1t depends on the size of the
seed potatoes used. A small one
will make as many sprouts as a
large one and will take less room,
and there will be more in a BUSH
ell. A bushel will bed from Is to
20 square feet, and small slips
grown especially for bedding,
from late summer cuttings will
furnish 5000 to the bushel. Pota4
toes culled from the crop will not
make so many. Bedding under
glass the first of march, you will
have plenty of plants ready BY
the time it is safe to set them out.
In this section would not bed
till the last of March. WI. Mas

EXPLOSIVE SET
FOR RECORDER?
Mysterious Package, Now
Soaking in Hoboken. May
Be Bomb.

HOBOKEN, Jan. 12.-Some one left
a bomb--or something that looks
very much like one-on the desk of
Recorder McGovern, in City Hall to-
day. The supposed bomb was carried
to police headquarters and put in a
pail of water. Some time later, after
is was soaked longer, the police will
open it.
The package was discovered by one
of the scrubwomen, who was at work
in the courtroom just before the re-
corder's arrival 1t was cylindrical,
about eight inches in length and five
inches in diameter. The outer cover
ing of the package was of heavy plain
brown paper and it was wrapped
around and around with copper wire.
AT one end of the cylinder a small
piece of copper wire protruded, and
the police believe that this may be
some sort of trigger to set og the
bomb.
The courtroom door had been un-
locked only few minutes before the
package was found. 1t is not thought
that it had been lying there since
court was closed on Saturday but
that somebody slipped in the room
the minute the door was opened and
left the package on the desk in the
expectation that Recorder McGovern
would himself find and open it.

Fire Hose Is Turned on Crowd

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. ia crowd
of men, estimated at 10000, seeking
employment today at the plant of the
Ford Motor Company started serious
rioting when they were told, after
they had stood in the freezing cold for
several hours that work could not be
given them.
An officer was knocked down. his
clothes partially torn off and bricks
and other missiles were hurled
through the windows and doors of the
factory. After a fire hose had been
turned on the crowd the rioters dis
persed. Five arrests were made.
The efforts of policeman to turn
the crowd away from the factory
doors started the trouble.
I'VE can't stand here and freeze to
DEATH" shouted some of the leaders,
and a concerted rush was made to-
ward the building entrance. Several
hundred managed to get inside the
plant before the trouble-makers were
under control. The thermometer regis
tered degrees above zero, and many
of the men had been standing in line
since long before daylight.
Announcement by the company of a
s10,000,000 prof1t-sharing distribution
among its employees in 1914 has
brought thousands of employment
seekers to the plant during the last
week, but the first serious trouble was
experienced today. The profit-sharing
plan went into effect today.

MOTHER K|[[EDBY
TRAIN ON TRESTLE;;.
DAUGHTER INJURED
Family on Way to Visit Con-
sumptive in BellevilIe
Hospital.

Although racked by the dread
malady which has claimed him a
victim, John Oberwcz, whose mother
was killed by an Erie train in Belle
vile yesterday, managed today to
muster enough strength to write a
letter to his grandmother in Hungary
telling of the death of his mother.
In the latter, too, he tells of the
fact that his sister was badly hurt
in the accident which cost the life
of the mother.
1t was a pitiful sight to see the
weakened young man pen the letter
Tears that fell on the paper made it
almost impossible for the ink to make
an impression. 1t was in the home
of his aunt, Mrs. Anna Nitzella, at
1T8 Belmont avenue. that Oberwcz
was found by reporter. Up until
the time of the accident Oberwcz had
been a patient in the tuberculosis
sanitarium at the Essex County Isola-
ton Hospital, In Soho.
His mother, with a daughter Mary,
thirteen years old, and a son Vladow,
aged nine, were on their way to the
hospital when the fatality occurred
They were crossing the trestle of the
Greenwood lake division of the Erie
railroad which spans the Second
river, when a train hove in sight.
Mrs. Oberwcz and the girl appeared
to get panic-stricken Instead OF
crossing to the other track as the boy
did she stood, holding her daughter
by the hand, directly in the path of
the train. She was struck by the en-
CINE and tossed from the trestle down
into the gulley fifty feet below. The
girl was knocked to one side.
The lad ran to the hospital and told
his sick brother what had happened.
The latter, who had been awaiting
the arrival of the trio, went to the
scene of the accident He arrived
there before an ambulance. He or
dered his mothers body moved to a
Newark undertaking establishment,
and the sister was taken to st, Mi
cheel's Hospital, this city, 1t was
said today the girl is in critical
condition, although slight improve
ment was noted.
Mrs. OberwcZ was a widow, who
supported herself and children by
doing such household work as she
could get. Sometimes she did sew
ing and sometimes housework and
cleaning The orphaned children went
to the house of this aunt last night
and remained there.
The funeral of Mrs. Oberwcz will be
held tomorrow afternoon from the
undertaking parlors of John Hurey.

SHERIFF NAMES
FIVE ATTENDANTS
Services of Reserve Men Shown
to Have Been Vitally
Needed.

The addition of an extra Court OF
Common Pleas in the Court House
has made it necessary for Sheriff
John F. Monahan to appoint five new
court attendants from list or
eligibles furnished him by the Civil
Service Commission. The five men
appointed are Simon Gascoyne, OF
Orange; Joseph A. Bergen, of Irving
ton: Louis D. Harrison, 144 Congress
street: William Hopwood, LAG Peshine
avenue, and James Sullivan, 12o
Adams street.
OF the new appointments, Gascoyne
is a brother of John j. Gascoyne,
chief probation officer of, the county,
while the other men are well known
in the sections where they I've. The
appointments were made under the
court attendant act of 1911, when
gives the sheriff the power to ap-
point men as needed.
The appointment of the extra men
comes at a time when their services
are vitally needed. In the recent
rush of business at the court house
there have been times when the
sheriff's office did not have a single
man available for extra work.
Two instances of the fact that men
are needed in reserve in the sheriff's
office came to light last Saturday
morning when twice within an hour
the sheriff's office was called on for
help by court attendants acting as
special deputy sheriffs who were hav-
ing trouble serving writs in their
possession.
In one instance Dan Demarest, jr.,
and Peter Kearney were endeavoring
to take possession of the goods and
chattels of one Karkary at 242 Plane
street, when they were set upon by
other persons in the place, and for
time it looked serious for the sheriff's
men. 1t being Saturday, with none of
the courts in operation, there were
plenty of men in reserve in the
sheriff's office, and assistance was
sent at once.
A few minutes after aid had been
sent Demarest and Kearney, Otto
Lebert, who was serving an execu-
ton at 165 South Orange avenue, re-
ported to the office that persons with
claims against the property he was
attempting to seize had forcefully
kept him from entering and taking
possession. He also got aid in a few
minutes.
If it had been any other day but
Saturday, Under Sheriff James +. Hy-
land pointed out today, 1t would have
been necessary to take men out of
the different court rooms to send to
the aid of the special deputy sheriffs
and thus leave the court rooms in an
undermanned condition.
