EIGHT KILLED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
GRAND TRUNK TRAIN STRIKES
CAR CONTAINING FARMER
AND FAMILY.

Mt. Clemens-Grand Trunk flyer
No. Is, leaving Detroit at 1920 o'clock
Sunday morning, at Fraser, Macomh
county, Sunday noon crashed into an
automobile truck in which William
Stoldt, Avon township farmer, was
driving with his family.
Seven of the eight passengers were
killed outright and Stoldt was fatally
| injured.
Those who were killed are: Mrs.
Rachel Stoldt, aged Al years, Mrs.
Stoldt's sister, Miss Minnie EngeL Of
Romeo, and Mr.. and Mrs. Stoldt's FIVE
daughters, Pearl, II; Esther, 5; Hazel,
IL; Mabel, 10 and Martha, aged.
The awful spectacle of seven dead
bodies strewn along the railway tracks
! for a quarter mile was what church
goers saw before Coroner Sperlich ar
! rived.
There were no eye-witnesses to the
tragedy excepting the train crew. The
! train stopped and hasty examination
showed that all were dead except
| Stoldt. He was taken on the train, in
charge of Conductor Harry Harris and
| Engineer Charles Lane, and brought
! to the Washington hospital here.
Sheriff Hartway was notified and,
with Coroner Sperlich and Prosecutor
Kent, was on the scene of the acct
dent within Is minutes. A fiat rail-
way truck was employed by the coro-
ner to gather up the bodies.
Just how the accident occurred is
all conjecture, but there are indica-
lions of carelesspess on the part Of
the driver, Stoldt, in the opinion Of
the authorities. There are two cross
ings at Fraser station, one about 100
yards south of the depot and the other
200 yards north, within the limits Of
the railroad yards. 1t was at the lat
ter point where the accident happened.
On the corner west of the tracks and
toward the station from the road, is
house and a grove Of trees.
Train No. Is is not scheduled TO
stop at Fraser. Two persons stated
the whistle was properly sounded for
the crossing. Stoldt, if he saw the
train coming, was probably under the
impression that it would stop and that
he was in no danger in making the
north crossing, or he may not have
noticed its approach until he emerged
from behind the house and the trees
and was almost on the tracks, is the
opinion of the Investigators.
The train was a few minutes be-
hind time and going at high rate OF
speed. That the automobile was hit
squarely in the middle is evidenced
by the fact that the front trucks were
found close to the tracks on the right
side, hurled through the fence of
cattle guard, and the rear truck was
carried nearly quarter of mile and
dumped on the left side. Other parts
of the machine were found in the field
several hundred feet from the right OF
way.

tn SENTENCE NINE DEPUTIES
ON MONDAY IN COUNTY SEAT

At the request of Prosecutor w.
Edwin Florance, Joseph E. StrlcKer,
chief counsel for the deputies IN the
county jail, secured postponement
today for the making of his motion
to have date set for the beginning
OF the trial of the deputies on the
other indictments pending against

CITY FIRE HOUSE JiklT0RS
ASK FOR INCREASE IN PAY

Janitors of ire houses about the city
appeared at committee meeting Of
the Board of Aldermen last night and
asked for an increase in pay. During
a discussion on the subject, claim was
made that there should be more men
on the force of FIRE house janitoFs. No
definite conclusion was arrived at and
the subject was left open for further
discussion and consideration.
Janitors employed in FIRE houses are
now receiving SIS s month and free
sleeping quarters, except the roundsmau
or relief ianitor, who receives $50 q
month. The janitors appear to want
as much more money as they can get,
but at the present time there is no IN
dieation that they will be granted any
increase The scheme of increasing
efficiency in the Ere department by
adding some men seemed TO impress
several Of the aldermen favorably last
night.

that the department has felt the

Weaver's attention was called to the
need OF suitable place for detain-
ing women several weeks ago when
a woman, whose mind was temporar-
lily unbalanced and who was the wife
of one of his employees, was detained
at the station prior to being sent to
the state hospital. A detention room
fitted for women will likely be placed
on the second floor, near the patrol

There were 131 white women ar
rested last year, and eighteen color

need for the special detention cell
for women.

Practically Sure That Aldermen
VIII Appropriate Funds for
Fairgrounds = June Budget
Was Discussed Last Night.

An amount of from $1,000 to
$500 will be appropriated for the
conversion of two or three pieces OF
city property into public parks and
general recreation, it was made evil
dent at committee meeting of the
Board of Aldermen last night. Be
cause of the absence of Alderman-a at
Large w. Guy Weaver practically
nothing was done with regard to pre-
pairing the June budget ordinance.
1t is now proposed to discuss it at a
committee session prior to the regu-
lar meeting Monday night. 1t ap-
pears practically certain that small
appropriation will be set aside for
playground work in addition to
whatever amount may be expended
to construct a children's playground
on the easterly end of the newly
acquired park tract In the northern
part of the ttyc.
The public park project as out
lined by Alderman Chris Jorgensen,
assisted by Alderman John J. CLARK,
was unanimously approved at the
committee meeting last night. AS
stated, 1t embraces a plan to estaD-
lish a beautiful park on the wester-
ly end of the former Merritt tract
and a playground, including a base
ball diamond, on the easterly end
Indications are that the actual work
will be started Immediately and it
is believed, according to expressions
made last night, resolutions will be
introduced Monday night to have the
work started.
It Is the plan of those in charge
of the park work at present to estaD-
lish recreation places for young and
old on the newly acquired Merritt
tract a portion Of the aims house
property and on the greater part OF
the former water works property in
upper Smith street Alderman John
]. Clark stated today that the plac-
ing of a municipal light plant on one
part of the last named tract would
not affect the park plans. While
start will probably be made imme-
diately, there will be no great rush to
establish parks In all three places,
aldermen. say, They claim that the
project. will be developed gradually
and that .. start will be made on the
North Amboy site.
A delegation of residents from the
fourth ward appeared before the city
fathers last night and requested that
they be- favored with the establish
ment of park in their section Will
liam F. Kuehne, spokesman for sthe
delegation, told of the advantages
of having such public. recreation
place in tHe@western section and he.
urged the aldermen to act fayorably
upon the request
Little has been said among the al
dermen as yet regarding the June
budget figures. 1t is practically GER
tain that s126, 900 will be appropri-
ated for the maintenance of public
schools during the year and that.
there will be appropriations for
parks, Fairgrounds and a safe and
sane celebration on July 4. One OF
the aldermen well versed with park
work here, ventured to state today
that some amount of from $1,000 to
$500 would most likely be allotted
for park work.

SAYS NEW BLOOD IS NEEDED IN
STATE FEDERATION Of LABOR
Hers Called to Account by State Machnists Want State
Labor Leader Quinn to Answer Charges Said to Come
from Committee of Centr al labor Union

Arthur A. Quinn, president of the
State Federation of Labor, and Hen
ry Hilfers, secretary of that organi-
zation, have been drawn into a far
reaching controversy with the Mer-
Ger County Central Labor Union, Ma
chinists' Lodge No. 39S, of Trenton,
that organization having asked the
labor leaders to answer charges made
against them.
The Central Labor Union declared
that President Quinn, who lives In
this city, has stated before the Sem
ate Judiciary Committee that organ
lied labor was not entirely opposed
to the state constabulary bill, and
that organization maintains that this
is a misrepresentation of the senti-
ment of the Mercer county trades un-

Vigorously protested not only against
the constabulary bill, but the gar

the opinion of the Mercer county or
ganization, is lacking in aggressive
ness and showed signs of standing
still, If not slipping back. It
further urges the injection of new
blood and animation into the state
movement"
The situation has arisen through
the secretary of the Machinists'
lodge having sent communication to
Mr.. Hilfers in which the former said
that accusations had been made
against both Quinn and Hilfers by a
committee of the Central body while

Efforts are being made before
Justice James J. Bergen at Elizabeth
today to have a date set for the re-
turn of a rule to show cause why a
writ of certiorari should not be is
sued in the case of David McGregor
against the city of Perth Amboy and
contractors for the proposed munich
pal electric light plant. The rule
was originally returnable today, but
action was deferred indefinitely to
enable the city to prepare its side of
the case.
1t is likely that the Board of AL
dermen will engage Judge Charles

Andrew j. Wight in defending the
