BULLETS WH|z BY
JOHN SL0BOD|EN
Local Man Has Narrow Escape
While Riding in Train-BuI-
lets Break Windows and In
iure One of His Eyes.

John Slobodien, of 364 State street,
had narrow escape shortly after noon
yesterday when two bullets passed
through window of a car in which
he was riding. Mr.. Slobodien took the
1914 Pennsylvania train from heI e
accompanied by Morris Hoch, one of
his employees. Waverly was reached
without any mishap, but just as this
place was left in the rear and q Sec
ton popular with hunters was reached,
two shots crashed through the window
at the seat at which Slobodien was
seated. He felt something go in his
eye, he said, but continued his trip.
Last night upon arriving home he
placed himself in the care of DIR. 1.
Siegel who found small piece of glass
under the eyelid and extracted it, Mr..
Slobodien stated this morning. He is
still under the care of the physician
as the foreign substance irritated the
eye while it was lodged there.
Those in the car at the time of the
accident were all of the same opinion
that serious injury might have oc-
CURED and many were indignant to
think that any hunters should be so
careless when shooting at game The
only solution was that the bullets
had been fired by a hunter. There
were several local people in the car
at the time Of the accident.

City Must Practice Safety First
Against Accidents In Streets and
On Railroads, Says N. w. Pierce

Perth Amboy must take steps to
guard against accidents among its
growing automobile traffic and upon its
numerous railroad lines If it is to fol-
low the lead of other progressive cit
izens, reports Nathaniel w. Pierce af-
ter returning as the city's representa-
tive to the Safety First Federation Of
America. The federation sessions were
held recently at Hotel Emerson, Bal
timore, Nd. Mr.. Pierce, who is chair
man of the Raritan Copper Works
general safety committee, was appoint
ed by Mayor Ferd Garretson to repre-
sent Perth Amboy.
He reported back to the mayor yes
terday regarding the convention. His
report, in part, follows:
The Safety First Federation of
America deals with problems pertain
ing to public safety in contradistinc-
ton to the National Safety Council,
who confine their activities primarily
to prevention of Industrial accidents.
. The convention just closed considered
such matters as street traffic, regula-
tions, trespassing upon railroad right
of ways, fire prevention and general
health and sanitation.
Among other resolutions adopted
was one that the promulgation of a
Safe and Sane Fourth of July be con-
tinued. Perth Amboy has observed
the Safe and Sane Fourth of July for
| several years, but there are other phas-
eS of public safety which our city
growing as it is, must seriously con-
slider and which were impressed on
the writer through the deliberations OF
this congress.

CHANCERY SUIT OVER
PROPERTY IN THIS CITY

A hearing is taking place before
Vice Chancellor Bacchus in the Court
of Chancery this morning in which
James ]. Nash. Jr.. is attempting to
recover land in New Brunswick ave-
nue. from Samuel Polkowitz or the
equivalent of it in cash. Joseph f..
Stricken and John 2. Kirkpatrick, of
New Brunswick, represent Polkowitz
in the case. s-
The suit Is the outcome of matter
in which James j. Nash, Sr, in 1905
conveyed property in New Brunswick
avenue, at the intersection of East
avenue, to Henry and Samuel Polko-
witz as trustees for his son, James j.
Nash, Jr. A large garage building
has since been erected on the site,
which was unoccupied for several
years. At the time of the trusteeship
efforts were made to force Nash to
explain the trusteeship, but he re-
fused. He died later.
The son was ignorant of his owner
ship of the land until a short time
ago. He is now attempting to gain
possession of the land. or the equiva-
lent of it, amounting to about $4,000.
The right of Polkowitz's claim will
be the outcome of the case today In
the chancery court.

FIRE At MAURER
CAUSES DAMAGE
Flames Destroy Shed and Por-
tion of House at Maurer
Last Night.

A fire which destroyed a shed and a
portion of house at Maurer, the
damage amounting to about $500, was
caused by some resident of the tene-
ment, smoking meat in the shed, it is
thought. The alarm was given from
box So, at Maurer, but by the time
the firemen arrived, the shed had been
reduced to ashes, and the house was
blazing. They turned their atten-
ton to fighting the fire in the house
and after a short time had put the
flames out. The fire occurred at 6
o'clock last night, being the second
call for the firemen during the day.
Several families of foreigners occu-
py the tenement, and they fed at the
first alarm of fire. All the families
were out when the house took fire,
and many had removed some. of their
household effects, believing that the
entire house would be consumed Or
der was restored when the flames
were finally put under control.
Fourteen chickens and a pig were
consumed in the burning of the shed.

ATTACKS MAN With AXE;
TWO FINED BY RECORDER

Invasion of a home with the subse-
Quent welding of an axe to disastrous
effect resulted in two arrests and the
imposition of fines today. John Pist.
Of 464 Lawrence street charged Vas
sci Bocda, of 635 Catherine street, with
hitting him over the head with heavy

three inches long. The prisoners told
conflicting stories when arraigned be-
fore Recorder Pickersgill this MORN
ing Bocda said Pist had invaded his
home and that he found him in COM
pany with his, Bocda's wife. Pist en-
deavored to tell in broken English how
he had gone to Bocda's home to collect
some money due on house. PATROL
man Tonghini arrested the men.
Inasmuch as the men told conflict
ing stories and there were no witnesses
to the fighting each was fined $40 by
Recorder Pickersgill.

CHARGE BOY STEALS
FROM AUTOS HERE

One arrest was made last night fol-
lowing the preparation of trap to ap-
prehend young thieves who have been
making a practice of late of stealing
articles from autom obiles about Smith
and State streets. John Slazak, eleven
years old, of 433 Steadman place, is
locked in the special detention room on
the second floor of police headquarters
where he is crying almost incessantly
because he is being held to await the
action of the juvenile court on charge
of petty larceny. Lawyer Jacob B.
Joselson appeared as the complaining
witness against him this morning.
There have been numerous COM
plants of late concerning thievery
from automobiles about Smith and
State streets and in other places, prin-
cipally in front of theatres. Mrs. JOS
elson was among those who missed
several bundles. She laid trap last
night and watched along Smith street
Just west of State street Shortly after
s o'clock she espied the SlaZak boy
stealing a pair of cheap gloves from a
machine. At her call Patrolman
Tonghini arrested the boy The boy
sobbingly admitted the theft this
morning, but disclosed all knowledge
of other such thefts of late.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1916-12-14

"If Perth Amboy is to follow the
lead of other progressive cities in safe
guarding the lives of it's citizens, there
are two matters which command at
tention:
First, the constantly increasing
number of local. automobiles, coupled
with the hundreds of foreign ma
chimes using our thoroughfares, con-
stitutes a menace to our citizens, es-
pecially our children, which makes
necessary more adequate regulation
of this traffic and the use OF the
streets by pedestrians. A strict en-
forcement of the speed laws, the es-
tablishment of safety zones at the
most dangerous places, and that foot
passengers shall cross the streets only
at recognized crosswalks, and not be-
tween blocks, would be means Oh
minimizing this hazard.
Second, hardly a week passes that
someone is not killed or manned or
railroad property in this city. The use
of the railroad track has become a
matter of common practice, due &c
our idea of personal convenience, and
We believe we have moral If not
legal right to use the roadbed.
This is situation which calls fol
the closest cooperation between the
railroads and the city in a determined
effort to prevent this wholly unnec-
essary loss of life.
zone other thought suggested by
this congress is the establishment oil
a curriculum in the fundamentals OF
personal and public safety in the
schools of our city, for these princi-
pies inculcated in the child of today
will find fruition in the man of to-
morrow"

PLAN ELECTION BILLS

New Brunswick, Dec 14:-The S04
election officers of the seventy-six
election districts in Middlesex county,
together with clerks, special officers,
etc, employed in the conducting or
the November election will share in
the election fund which has been
created. The distribution was made
Yesterday at an adjourned meeting of
the Board of Freeholders. The board
met yesterday afternoon for the sole
purpose of passing on these bills.
The report that the Middlesex
freeholders would not pay the cleo
ton officers at this time because of n
lack of money is untrue. The col
lector's last report shows a tidy bal
ance on hand to amply take care of
this large batch of bills. A number
of election bills have not as yet been
received and it is urged that all those
holding bills against the county for
election send them in at once.

Diplomatic Stroke.
Special BIZ United Press w.rs.

London, Dec. 1.-THE caution
watch out: take care" sounded by
Premier BRAND in his address to the
French chamber of deputies will also
be England's guardian in scrutinizing
the German peace proposals. After
the first shock of the news of Ger
many's peace plan and the first and
instantaneous decision to reject it,
there came today, with the strengthen
ing OF this determination not to make
the peace Germany Graves, the belief
that England and her Allies ought
closely to examine the circumstances
of the Teutonic move.
Press and public alike were more
than ever convinced today that some
German trick" was behind the promp-
ter. Most apparent in the German
peace offer is the attempt to gain the
sympathy of neutrals. An attempt TO
create dissension among the entente al
lies is believed to be one considera-
tion of the note and the chancellor s
speech.
Lastly, the British public believe the
German government desires to make
play to the German people to sup
port the oft repeated cry that Ger
many is merely defending herself
against enemies who forced a war
upon her.
