new TRAFFIC LAWS ENFORCED
BY POLICE or PERTH AMBOY

Chief of Police Patrick j. Burke
yesterday began the enforcement of
the new traffic regulations made into
law by statute enacted by the last
legislature. On his orders patrolmen
stationed in different parts of the
city stopped motorists and warned
them about violations Of the new law
and will likely be arrested on being
warned the second time.
The officers were also instructed
to warn the motorists to dim their
headlights, according to the most re-
cent rules made by Motor Vehicle
Commissioner Dill. These rules and
the new traffic law will be strictly
enforced, according to Chief Burke.
One of the principal provisions of
the new law, according to the chief,
is that providing that automobiles
shall not pass trolley car which Is
not in motion, unless having a clear
ance of eight feet. Chief Burke has
often warned motorists about pass
ing trolley cars while diseharging
passengers, but up until this time
there has been no ordinance or state
law forbidding same According to
the new rule governing the dimming
of headlights, the glare must be elm
mated from the strong electric head
lights on many cars. This may be
done by either using frosted lens
or painting same with an amber
color one-third of the distance across
the diameter

SENTIMENT GIVEN IN FAVOR
OF SUNDAY SCHOOL PARADE

There was considerable sentiment
expressed In favor of reviving the
custom of annual Sunday school
parades at the meeting of representa-
tives of Sunday schools at the Simp-
son M. E. church yesterday after
noon. However, most of those pres
ent seemed to consider that it would
be best to have a parade without the
usual elaborate decorations.
Representative of four Sunday
schools were present, and Chairman
NJ. R. Letter. Of the Sunday School
Parade Association, appointed COM
mittee to see the superintendents of
the other Sunday schools to learn
their sentiments in the matter. Mr..
Letter named " G. Munger to head
the committee, and Mr.. Munger ap-
pointed two others to aid him. A
final meeting to decide whether the
parade will be held this year win be
held at Simpson NJ. E. church next
Sunday afternoon.

ROOSEVELT MOTHER
AND CHILDREN LOST
Mrs. Edward McCorkindaIe
and Two Children Drown
Left Chrome Recently.

Many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ed
ward McCorkindale in the Chrome
section of Roosevelt are today
mourning the tragic death of Mrs.
McCorkindale, her eight year old son
Duncan, and her eight months old
daughter, who from the latest reports
from the Lusitania. catastrophe, were
drowned when the liner was sunk
off the Irish coast Friday.
The family was we'll known in
Chrome, Mr.. McCorkindaIe having
been watchman at the Liebig fer
tilizer work for three years. Re-
ports of mothers drowning with their
infants cultched to their bosoms, it
Is believed, was founded on such in
cidents as in the case of the drown
ing of three of the four members of
the McCorkindale family. Mrs. Nc
Cofkindale, It Is declared by her
friends, probably went to the bot
tom with her protecting arms about
her infant daughter She always ap-
peared to be devoted to her children,
and her friends In Chrome picture
her standing ON the sinking deck of
the big liner, after escaping from
the second cabin and bravely meeting
her doom with her boy Duncan
holding one hand, and with the other
tightly clasped about her infant
daughter.
Mrs. Elizabeth McCorkindale was
on her way to Scotland to visit her
parents. She had left her husband
in New York. Mr.. McCorkindale pro-
ceeded to Saskatchewan, Canada, to
prepare a home on a farm in the
southwest. Mrs. McCorkindale and
the two children were to join him
after short stay in Scotland. She
came originally from Scotland to
Elizabeth, hence to Chrome.

Illuminated First Time Satur-
day Night-Cost City Moth
ina Until End of Month.
ARE OF 900 CANDLE-P0WER
Ten of the New Lamps Have
Been Erected Along Smith
St.-Bright Saturday Night.

Through efforts of the Public Ser
vice Electric Company to display
new nitrogen street lighting lamp,
Smith street merchants, between
State and High streets, are getting
the benefit of a white way. Ten of
the new lamps have been erected
and are being paid for by the Public
Service concern. They are of 600
candle power, supported on special
brackets and so distributed as to
show Improvement In lighting effect
on Smith street. They were illumi-
mated for the first time on Saturday
and made the section of Smith street,
between State and High streets ap-
pear almost as bright as it was when
the regular white way was operated
there. The lamps win be continued
in use at no cost to the city until
about the end of the month, it was
stated today
1t had been expected that State
street would be favored with the new
nitrogen lamp display, as Division
Agent H. P. Chandler had stated at
the last meeting of the Board of
Aldermen that the Public Service
Electric Company would be glad to
erect about a dozen lamps on that
thoroughfare to show their illumi-
mating value Since then the Public
Service officials have tried in vain to
have the city make an order to have
the trial lamps issued, but Chairman
John w. Kelly, of the lamps and
lights committee of the Board of
Aldermen, states that the city would
make no such order. The Public
Service officials were informed, how
ever, that the city had no objection
to having them erect lamps If they
wanted to show them to the public.
1t appears that the Public Service
officials had intended to exhibit on
Smith street, though State street was
mentioned. They picked Smith street
for the show and since then some of
the State street merchants and resi-
dents have tried in vain to get a
similar white way exhibition for
their thoroughfare.
Agent Chandler spoke enthusias-
tically about the new lamp today. He
stated that it was high powered
laUp with great Illuminating force,
as was shown on Smith street Satur-
day night He declared that If the
company's offer was adopted the Pub
lie Service would distribute them
throughout the city, replacing the or
binary street arcs now in use. The
cost per lamp for the first ESQ Is $84
each; that for the next ffty-seven
lamps is $7S.75. There was SINH
lar sliding scale for 100 candlepower
incandescent bulbs, the price per
lamp decreasing after the first fifty.
wi csn
agent was asked by Alderman John
j. Clark as to why such a sliding
scale was offered now and it was not
granted in contracts which the city
previously had with the company,
Mr.. Chandler stated that rates and
charges had changed since then.

April just past was lower than it
had been at. any time in the past
three years. There were 81 deaths,
100 births and 81 marriages during
the past month, according to vital
statistics reports filed with City
Clerk Wilbur La Roe. Not at any
time for three years previous has the

Rome, May 10:-Circumstantial
reports are in circulation in govern
ment circles that Italy's time limit
during which Austria must make
satisfactory reply to her demand, ex-
pires at midnight. II Austria has
not conceded everything asked for by
that time, the reports say, all nego-
tiations will be broken off. The Ital-

ports that it is certain matters are
again approaching a crisis. The de-
struction of the Lusitania has result
ed in many newspapers which in the
past have been lukewarm in their
support of war, suggesting a change
in their attitude. Many say it is only
question of time when an Italian
steamer will be torpedoed and the
government is urged to take action
against Austria.
