FIGHT FIRE WITH SNOW

Snow was used by a policeman and
a citizen to extinguish a blaze in an
automobile on Convery Place late
last night. The machine, belonging
to Frank Van SyckIe, was damaged
to but slight extent, due to the
timely action OF Patrolman Martin

While the patrolman was near the
city hospital he saw n blaze near
School No. s. He and Sneider hur-
ried to the scene and they found the
forward part of the auto in flames.
Using their hands to scoop up snow
they quickly extinguished the fire.

Seven men dined at a cafe. The

that 1t Is cheaper to drive new wells
than to clean out the old ones. The
question is, have new wells been
driven as rapidly as the old ones
have gone out of commission, not to
mention additional wells to take care
of the increased demand?
But If there is danger of lack of
supply in the vicinity of Runyon. we
repeat that, the time is at hand for
looking elsewhere for a water supply
for this city. We have already men,
toned one site on this side of the
river, where there is an enormous
flow of water now going to waste
Nearby is a ravinc, the damming of
one end of which would make an
almost natural reservoir at compare
lively little cost.
One thing is certain. Perth Amboy
must have an adequate water supply
If the city Is going 20 progress. New
wells must be driven at Runyon more
rapidly than the old ones go out of
business as long as the city depends
entirely on the Runyon supply. In
the meantime it would do no harm,
for the city to do little prospecting
about. as private water companies do.
When these water companies find an
adequate supply they Immediately
buy up the land and reserve 1t for
future use. II private corporations
can take such precautions for the
future, there Is no reason why the
city should not do SO.

FOR PERJURY CASES
LAMAR COUNTY URGES GRAND
JURY TO INDlcT PERJURERs
AND COCAINE SELLERS.


Purvis, Miss, Jan. rs. = With the
largest number OF persons seen in the
court room at the opening of. a term
OF court in this county in years and
with Judge e. Fl. Weathersby presid-
ing, the criminal term of Lamar county
circuit court convened here yesterday
for term, limited by law to three
weeks, but which Judge Weathersby
assured the grand jury. and others in
attendance, shall terminate at the
earliest possible date. Toxey Hall,
district attorney. and J. f. Cooper,
county prosecutor, are present TO look
after the interest of the state. Follow
ing the selection of ]. n. Fite, of Lum-
berton. as foreman, Judge Weathersby
delivered his charge to the grand jury,
laying special emphasis upon the sell
ing of cocaine and the carrying of
concealed weapons. He concluded his
charge with lengthy lecture on de-
structive tendencies of the crime of
perjury which, he stated. was in his
opinion the result of the common vio-
alton of the liquor laws of the state.
He said that years ago, when local OPT
ion was first made operative in coun-
| ties or communities where liquor sell
| ing had before been common, that
hose who went about deliberately to
sell liquor in violation of law, began
their propaganda of teaching young
men to believe that a man who would
buy "blind tiger" whiskey and then
! turn up" the seller was worse-erim-
inal than the man who sold the liquor
He urged the grand jury to take stand
against this crime of perjury that they
might aid in stemming the evil chat if
continued, will subyert justice in every
form.
Qaite feature of the court was the
presence in a body of the boys and
girls from the Lamar County Agricul
tural High School, accompanied by the
entire teaching corps.
Except for the case of DR.. Sam E.
Rees for the killing of Editor w. A
Blackburn. and that of w. A. VoVwell
upon the alleged charge of attempte1
assault upon sixteen-year-old Eugenia
Smith, there are no cases of moment
to come before the grand jury at this
term. oas ~..
