BADLY HURT IN MOTORCYCLE
ACCIDENT; z MISHAPS HERE

A youth was seriously injured in
a motorcycle accident last night and
man was shaken up and had his
bicycle demolished in an automobile
accident on Smith street this morn
ing. In the first accident the motor
cyclist escaped without leaving his
name and address. His victim,
Garret Poulsen, seventeen years old,
cripple, lies in serious condition
at his home at 324 Prospect street.
The motorcyclist was declared by
eye witnesses to be at fault. They
afterwards stated that he cut cor
ner very short in turning from Wat
son avenue westward into Smith
street. Young Poulsen was walking
west crossing Watson avenue on the
southerly side of Smith street at the
time. He was hurled to the ground,
stunned and seriously confused and
cut. A brace which he wore as the
result of being crippled, is believed
to have saved him from more serious
injury. He had recently returned
home from hospital, where he spent
about nine months.
Jack Weiss, of 239 Hall avenue,
was struck and knocked from his
bicycle when, without warning, he
turned in front of Ford automo-
bile, driven by Marno Hansen, an
employe Of the Raritan Copper
Works. Both the automobilist and
the bicyclist were going west on
Smith street near Hobart street this
morning, when the accident oc-

No SHORTAGE Of
ELECTRICITY HERE
Public Service Has Plenty De-
spite Increased Demand for
Current by New Plants.

While the demand upon the Public
Service Electric Company for cleo
trio energy has been exceedingly
large of late, due to somewhat eX-
tensive operation of manufactures,
such as munition plants. contrary to
reports there is no danger of a short
age of current in this. city and vi
cinity, it Is stated officially by the
Public Service concern. The demand
for current in both the central and
southern divisions of the Public Serv
ice system has grown in leaps and
bounds the past several months, it is
declared. Munitions factories in and
about the city, some of which are
worked continuously, require much
energy. The tax upon the Public
Service stations was reported to be
so great that when the city's night
arcs had to be kept lighted until 7
o'clock in the morning during winter
and the day load was put on before
that time, there might come a serious
shortage. That is denied authorita-
lively by the company.
The growth of business has been
most gratifying to the Public Service
company and it has now become ne
cessary to enlarge its Burlington
plant and today plans for extending
the giant Buckingham avenue plant
in this city. Meanwhile a $2,000,000
power house is being completed in
Newark.
The company is almost constantly
enlarging it's facilities. Early last
year it opened large new station
at Burlington, added another section
to the Marion station and erected
several sub-stations. The new New
ark plant, started last year, will be
ready before the holidays and will
produce about 10000 horsepower.
1t is the company's aim to keep a
fair margin of supply over demand
in all cases. A new unit or genera
tor has been ordered for use at
Burlington, which it had been
thought for time might be INSTALL
ed here 1t was ordered turned over
to Burlington because of the fact
that the Buckingham avenue plant
has more spare energy.
The local plant has not reached
it's maximum capacity as yet. When
it does the company will still have
Metuchen station, with approximate
ly 1000 kilowatt capacity, in reserve
and ready to be drawn on. 1t has a
further reserve of about 1900 kilo-
watts at Crawford, which can be
used here if necessary, the distribut-
ing lines being so arranged that cur
rent can be sent anywhere In the
division from either or all Of the
three stations mentioned. To make
assurances doubly sure, If an emer
gency should arise here, the COM
pany could supply current to this
division from Newark or Marion. 1t
is understood that the concern is not
desirous of operating the Metuchen
plant at all, if it can help it, because
of the alleged great cost for operat-
ing it.

SHERIFF k|NKEAD
STRIKES MORRIS
Resents "Liar" With First
Blow on Hudson Politicians
JaW-Treachery is Hinted.

Jersey City, n. j., Sept 25.-Sheriff
Kinkead of Hudson county went to
conference in the Jersey City office Of
ii. Otto Wittpenn, naval officer of the
port of rev York and leader of the
Progressive Democrats. The sheriff is
leader of the regular Democrats.
Following some talk concerning the
turning over to the county of moneys
accruing from the feeding of prisoners.
the conversation, it is said, drifted
into political matters, each agreeing to
support the others faction if success
full at the primaries.
Sheriff Kinkead is said to have ask
ed about the attitude of former City
Clerk John H Morris Mr. Wittpenn
called Morris in to speak for himself.
Morris said be stood where he always
stood and that any statement that
Kinkead was "cut'' at the polls in his
district was a lie.
Kinkead is said to have demanded to
know If he, Morris, meant that he, the
sheriff, was liar. Morris is declared
to have replied, "If you said that, you
are"
Thereupon, according to the story,
Kinkead landed a swing on Morris
jaw, and Morris went hunting for
some commercial samples of bricks
that Wtttpenn had in his Office.
According to Wittpenn, he interven-
ed at this point, pacitied both men,
and the sheriff made handsome
apology for his hasty action, which
was accepted by Morris.

Miscroscopic Mechanism.

Mymecides, an ancient carver, was
so proficient in microscopic mechanism
that he made an ivory ship, with all
its decks, masts, yards, rigging and
sails in so small a compass that it
might have been hidden under the wing
of fly. He also made chariot with
four wheels and as many harnessed
horses, which took up scarcely more
room than the ship.
George Whitehead, an Englishman,
made ship, with all things pertaining
to it, to move, as if 1t sailed, upon a ta-
BILE. "All hands were aloft, woman
made music on a lutte, and a little
puppy cried in the midship, all OF
which variety" says the old writer
was pleasant and diverting."

F|REMEh RETURN
FROM CONVENTION
City Is Well Represented at
Convention at Atlantic City,
Attended by Over 1920.

Chief Frank Tooker, Jr., former
Chiefs Frank Comings and George I.
Larson and l.. B. Moore, represent
ing the Relief Association of the
Perth Amboy fire department, and
William Hallahan, representing the
Perth Amboy Exempt Firemen's AS
sociation at the annual convention OF
the New Jersey State Firemen's Re-
lief Association, held at Atlantic City
Thursday, arrived home yesterday.
The convention, which was held on
the steel pier, was attended by more
than 1900 delegates from all parts of
the state. A number of important
matters came up for discussion at the
convention which were of consider
able interest to ever- fireman
throughout the state.
Bird w. Spencer, of Passaic, who
has been president of the state asso-
citation ever since it's inception, and
whose administration had been at
tackled by the insurgents at the con-
ventiOn, was again reelected to head
the association. One of the most i'm
portant things taken up at the con-
vention were the charges made that
William A Cotter, who has occupied
the position of counsel to the associa-
ton, was not a resident of the state.
1t was proven that he was voter and
resident of New York city. A resolu
ton adopted before the close of the
convention provided that only law
yer residing in New Jersey and own
ing property within the state should
be selected by the executive COM
mittee as counsel. This was aimed,
it is believed, at Mr.. COtter, the pres
ent incumbent of the office.
At the election these officers were
chosen for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, Bird W. Spencer, of Passaic;
vice presidents, first district, Voelme
Bennett, of Haddon Heights; second

Rev. Mr.. Brooks Charms Large
Audience at Song Festival
at Baptist Church Last Night,

The Baptist church was filled to
capacity last night when Rev. Ar
thur T. Brooks rose to sing Annie
Laurie" the first song on the pro-
gram for the evening. Rev. Mr..
Brooks won instant favor with his
audience by the way he sang the old
Scotch song, his rich baritone voice
ringing out clear and strong through
the church. The next two selections
were the well known songs Ben
Bolt" and Believe Me if All Those
Endearing Young Charms" short
sketch of the lives of the three songs
was given before each was sung.
The first part of the program was
brought to a close with THE Two
Grenadiers," by that great master Of
music, Schuman, and The Heart
Bow'd Down" by the English
writer Bake. After the last
song had been given Rev.
w. H. Bawden told a little about the
giver of the recital. He told how
pleased he had been to listen to Mr..
Brooks at recital given in this city
some time ago when the evening was
spent with Songs of Longfellow, "
Rev. Mr.. Brooks has written a song
and story which he has given in sew
eral churches and which has been
well liked 1t is the story of a coun-
try boy whOg oes to the city to seek
his fortune. 1t tells of the tempta
tions which present themselves to
him but how he finally comes out
triumphant. This is the story that
the mem bers of the church will try
and have Rev. Mr.. Brooks give at his
next visit to this city.
In all of his songs, Rev. Brooks
has the faculty of getting the brogue
of the country, whose song he is
singing. He showed his ability in
this line when he sang Killarney,
the first song i'll the last part of the
program. He told how the writer of
this song Bake, had risen to become
the greatest song writer of his time.
1t was Bake who brought the Eng
Hsh opera first in the affections of
the English people, doing away with
the Italian opera, which had held
that distinction for years. "The
Friar of Orders Grey" is the best
known OF the 500 songs that Russell
wrote. having in it selections from
well known operas. One of the most
wonderful pieces, Rev. Mr. Brooks
said, he ever sang, was that which
was written by Molloy the English
song writer, about that well known
structure, the London Bridge. An
other Scotch song was given which
was as well received as Annie
Laurie" this being Wed Better
Bide A Wee" The program was
brough to a close with Pinsuti's
famous ARROW and Song"
Throughout the entertainment
Rev. Mr. Brooks told jokes, most of
them being about the English.
George Vause who accompanied on
the piano, received much applause.
The recital was given under the aus
pices of the Ladies' Aid Society.

.AV|ATORS PLAN TO
SEARCH FOR SEALS
Fur Men viii Engage Aero
planes to Overcome the
Many Winter Difficulties.

New York.-No ice pack hereafter
will prevent a successful seasons catch
of seals Aeroplanes have been en-
gagged by the sealing companies of the
northern states and Canada, with ex-
pert aviators to help locate the herds.
The preparation for the coming sea-
son have been thrust upon sealers by
the disastrous ice conditions along the
eastern coast and the gulf Of st. Law
renee. All last winter constant inshore
winds piled hummocks of ice wherever
the water Swallowed.
These high walls of broken ice pre-
vented the lookouts on the sealing
steamers and sailing vessels from lo-
eating the seal herds AS result the
catch was one of the smallest on rec
ord, the total being less than $1,000
pelts. This has meant financial loss
to the sealing companies Of not less
than $250,000.
Cruising along the shores, the aero
planes will follow scouting tactics, not
only locating the herds, but returning
the navigable channels through the ice.
AS these Ieads" change from hour to
hour the need for the aviator is con-
stant. This will prevent fruitless
months Of search on the part of the
sailing vessels.
Moreover, the aeroplanes will be able
to report adverse ice conditions at a
distance, so that vessels will be able to
make their way to a point of safety
before the heralded Ice pack comes
down to crush them. This alone will
mean the saving Of many vessels. an
nually caught by the treacherous foe.
Owing to the restriction on the kill
ing Of fur seals, which are extinct ex-
cept In the Bering sea, the pelt of the
true seal is in great demand. The
greater ease in locating the herds will
give the sealing companies the opor-
tunity to select the bigger and more
ma ture animals.
