J|TNEY BUS
PEOPLE HOLD
MEETING HERE
DR., kraemer Joins With Crif-
fin in Proposed
Venture.

The first formal steps toward or
ganizing big jitney bus company for
this city was taken this afternoon at
conference held at the New Jersey
Automobile and Motor Club. Frank
J. Griffen, the New York promoter,
who originally launched the project
here, was chairman of the meeting.
Another of those present was DR..
Charles F. Kraemer, of this city, who
had announced separate jitney
project a short time ago.
William H. Fielder, former New
ark mayor, former postmaster and
former congressman, was also in at
tendance at the meeting for short
time, and will probably be identified
with the proposed concern. A local
Arthur Schlobohm, another New
arker, and Fl. J. Schaarf, of Has
brouck Heights, completed the party.
The proposition now is to have the
company composed of Jerseyinen out
side Mr. Griffin There will be an
.sther meeting later when somo Others
Interested will attend.
DIR. Kraemer has abandoned his
idea of a separate company in COM
ing into the Griffin concern. Conse-
quently, rival factions have been
amalgamated. The jitney bill that
was before the Legislature having
died natural death, the field is left
clear SO that the promoters will not
be obliged to face any undue obsta-
cles.
The next step in their operations
will be to go before the Public Utility
Commission to determine how they
are to operate in accordance with the
present laws. 1t Is probable that no
further steps will be taken until that
is done.
The plan outlined by Mr.. Griffin
for the use of small cars, to be run
over fixed routes and on a regular
schedule, will be adhered to. 1t is
expected that cars will be running
within a months time if no unfore-
seen obstacles are encountered.

ANOTHER CHILD
IS KILLED BY
TROLLEY CAR
Freddie Albert Sixth to Meet
Death Under Wheels
This Month.
FOUR OF THE MlSHAPS
BELOW THE RAILROAD"
Latest Victim Trapped on Side
walk by Car Swinging Into
Private Right of Way.

Eight-year-old Fred Albert. of 115
Bowery street, was run down and
killed by trolley car on the loop
at the junction of Bowery and Ferry
streets late yesterday afternoon. He
was the sixth child killed by trolley
cars in Newark this month. Four Of
the six fatalities happened in the sec
tion below the Pennsylvania railroad.
The accident to the Albert child
was at point close to the sidewalk
East Ferry street cars formerly were
switched back at the end of the line,
near Lentz avenue. Recently the
cars began to use a loop that inter-
sects the V formed by Ferry and
Bowery streets. The cars, after pass
ing down Ferry street, swing into
Bowery street. thence through a
private right of way opposite Chapel
street back into Ferry street.
Young Albert was running along
the sidewalk to a store at the juno
ton when he was struck and killed
by a car that was swinging into the
private right of way. He was in
stantly killed, il is believed. The ac-
counts of the accident differ. One is
that he was struck by the front Of
the car; the other is that he ran into
the side of the car and fell under the
wheels.
Ever since the Bowery and Ferry
street loop has been in operation 1t
has been regarded as a dangerous
point The cars that use the loop are
forced to swing directly across laf
path of east bound trolley cars. as
well as east-bound automobiles and
other vehicles. The cars that use the
loop make the turn suddenly. because
of the sharp angle of the tracks. It
frequently has happened that auto
mobiles travelling eastward are sud-
denly confronted by the Ferry street
cars turning into the private right OF
way.
A list of this months fatalities to
children in Newark trolley accidents
is as follows:
April 9-The mangled body of four
year-old Charles Grohs, of 112 Speed
way avenue, Irvington, was found
caught in the trucks of a Plank road
line trolley car at the Plank road
bridge. The body had been carried
from near his home where he was
struck while playing around the car.

family were on hand to welcome
the team as representing Newark,
and city and county officials, to-
men, attended to make the event a
banner one.
The occasion is being observed as
a holiday function at the City Hall.
The place is practically deserted,
with the exception of those who are
really forced to remain to keep the
wheels of progress in motion.
There was no parade through the
city streets, but there was demon
stration at the grounds. Singing and
cabaret, together with the raising of
the flag in deep centre field, preceded
the game.
The Tigers were more than anxious
to present their lineup for the at
tention of local fandom. Dressed in
their new suits of white flannel. with
thin blue stripe, and caps and
stockings to match, the Tigers made
a natty appearance. The Royals. as
usual, are dressed in their gray
travelling suits.

Together with his official family, he
occupied one of the boxes. Former
Mayor Jacob Haussling will be the
guest of George Solomon and Henry
Medicus, owners of the local nine.
President Edward G. Barrow of the
league, witnessed the opening game.
He is to be brought to Newark from
Jersey City in an automobile after he
attends the opening. ceremonies of the
Skeeters.
Vincentz's Band furnished music.
and a cabaret from New oYrk helped
to please.

and bugle corps and an uniformed
squad of Boy Scouts we're in charge
of the fiag-raising.
Jitney busses and numerous trolley
cars have been provided to take care
of the rush that will attend the game.

meet the Royals, and on Sunday Will
play a double-header with them.
