No indictments were found in kill
ings of men at Sayreyille and near
Ernston, and of boy at Perth Am
boy, 1t was reported here today, fol-
lowing the probe concluded yester-
day by the grand jury. 1t appears
that the jury maintained that the
deaths were due to accidents, for
which none of the drivers of the We
hicles should be held to answer to
a charge of manslaughter.
The probes were of the killing of
Emil Anderson. of Sayreville, on the
Ernston hill, just outside of South
Amboy. He was knocked from a bi-
cycle and killed by truck of the
Castles Ice Cream Company, of
Perth Amboy. The investigation al
SO covered the death of Stephen Me-

killed by Public Service trolley car
near the Sayreyille-South River

ing Of Woodbridge geese, probably

and the alleged subsequent capture
and seizure of the geese by a woman
living just across the citys westerly

in court this morning as Olga
Spindler. She is charged with steal

her money, after which she appealed
to Chief Of Police Burke and Acting
Recorder Somogyi Chief Burke

ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS
WORKERS CONVENE
Hear Encouraging Reports at
Home of Mr.. and Mrs. c. c.
Baldwin.

Members of the Anti-Tuberculosis
Society gathered Tuesday night at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. c. c.
Baldwin, in Water street. In the
absence of the president, DR.. William
E. Ramsay, Judge c. c. Hommann
presided.
The yearly report Of Miss Marie
Nielsen, the nurse, was received at
this time, and 1t shows that much
good work has been done toward the
prevention of tuberculosis in this
city. Miss Nielsen has now fifty
patients, and during the past year
nine tubercular patients have been
sent to Glen Gardner. and twelve
have been sent to St Michael's hos
pital in Newark; 1000 visits have
been made by the nurse, who has
also looked after the distribution
and care Of 5000 sputum cups In
her report Miss Nielsen stated that
she finds her advice followed very
well as to the care of the patient,
but considerable difficulty seems to
be experienced in making people
realize the necessity Of burning the
sputum cups instead OF throwing
them in ash and refuse receptacles.
On February 6, 1913, the Anti
tuberculosis Society of this city had
as its fund s847.13. and out of this
sum 800 was given to the Woman's
Club to buy eggs and milk for pa
tients who were unable to procure
these articles of nutriment. This
made the fund s747.13 At June / =.
1915, the organization had in its
treasury s514.17. At the completion
of three years work, during which
nurse has been employed at a sal
ary of s65 per month, the society has
reason to feel that 1t has been doing
wonderful work
The only financial assistance the
Anti-Tuberculosis Society received
from the people of Perth Amboy is
from the sale Of the Red Cross seals
at Christmas time.

his death. Smith and Madison

was making for shore and followed
him; the waves soon parted the two
and when Whomsley got to shore
Smith could not be seen. Smiths
