THREE ACCIDENTS AT
DONNELLY In ONE DAY
April II, a Jonah Day for Several
People in Neighboriing Will
age

Thursday, April IL, was somewhat
of a jonah day in the village of DON
nelly, three accidents occurring all
in the space of five hours. The first
happened about four in the afternoon
while Warner Gulbrandson was I'M
loading hay from his wagon into a
freight car. A spark from a passing
engine set fire to the hay and Mr..
Gulbrandson was lucky to save his
wagon and team The loss was
about $4,000, the hay belonging to
&c. C. Ersted.
The second accident happened
about seven in the evening while Geo.
Pushor was driving a fine herd of Hol-
stein cattle home along the railroad
right-of-way. An engine ran down
three of the best cattle and one was
killed outright and the other two
had to be killed. He put in claim
for $2O8
The third accident happened to
John Hilla about nine in the evening,
when his Ford car kicked back and
broke his right arm. Mr.. Hilla is a
building contractor and this will keep
him from his work for several weeks
just at the time when he was very
busy.

ONLY FOUR COUNTIES
NOT HAVING AGENTS
Eighty-two Counties in Minnesota
Have Made Provision for County
Agent

All but four of Minnesota's SO
counties have made provision for the
employment of county agents, and
all but Is have already made con-
tracts with men to fill the positions.
The counties which have not made
provision for county agents and
whose commissioners have refused
to comply with the request of the fed
eral government to appropriate
$1,000 toward the support of farm
bureau are Douglas, Houston, Koo-
chiching and Pope.
Of the Is counties which have not
yet made contracts with county
agents, six have formed farm bureau
associations and will employ county
agents as soon as suitable candidates
can be found. These six are Fill
more, Olmstead, Scott, Chippewa,
Wadena and Lake. Four other coun-
ties in this group have agreed to
grant an appropriation of $1,000 as
soon as a farm bureau has been
formed These are Norman, Aitkin,

SOUTH AMBOY BACKS SCULLYS STAND
FOR A QUICK INVESTIGATION INTO THE
CAUSE Of GILLESPIE PLANT EXPL LOS|ON

SOUTH AMBOY, Oct. 23:-The
Common Council of this city last
night adopted a resolution which, in
substance, deplored the work of the
i. A. Gillespie Loading Company In
their construction and management
of their plant at Morgan; commend
ed Congressman Thomas J. Scully for
his stand In calling for an investiga-
ton of the explosion which wrecked
the plant. and that congress be asked
to reimburse the citizens of the city
for their losses sustained through the
explosions.
The resolution in full follows:
Whereas the explosion OF October
4, 1918, at the plant operated by the
T. A. Gillespie Loading Company has
very seriously injured the city of
South Amboy materially. and has
largely depleted the morale of its
people; and
Whereas there are many rumors
of laxity, carelessness and neglect in
the management and operation of
said plant; and
Whereas the same agency that is
responsible for the terror and dis
tress that has visited our people has
been entrusted with the work of re-
constructing said plant; and
Whereas the prevention of a repe-
tition of the damage. and of the ter
rorizing of our citizens is and at this
time must be our foremost thought:
Therefore be II resolved, first that
this community and its people pledge
themselves anew to the most impor-
tant and heartening task of uphold
ing our beloved President and of do
ing everything within our power to
aid and assist In the early consumma-
tfon of glorious victory, and the tri-
umphant return of our boys.
'Be ii further resolved that we
deem the reconstruction and rebuild
ing of the shell loading plant ct Nor
gan under the conditIOas that have
heretofore existed there, a serious
and unnecessary menace to the safety
and we'll being of our people.
BE 1t further resolved that we, as
the governing body of the City of
South Amboy, resolutely and emphat-
ically protest against such recon-
struction and rebuilding unless there
be adopted and maintained such ade-
quate measures for protection az will
effectually prevent another explosion
with direful results.
Further resolved that we endorse
and commend the resolution of in
quiry presented in the House of Rep
resentatives by Hon. Thomas J. Scully
and call upon that body to imme-

SOUTH AMBOY, Oct. 23-Immedi-
ately after the explosion at the plant
of the T. A. Gillespie Loading Com
pany at Morgan. Mayor Kerr appoint
ed committee to meet the existing
emergency. That committee met Sow
eral times with a like committee ap-
pointed by Mayor TenBroeck of Perth
Amboy.
Among the matters taken up for
consideration was that of indemnify
ing the citizens for their losses and
for the permanent restoration of their
properties. No definite action has
been taken, because 1t was impossible
to ascertain the attitude of the United
States government.
II has now been learned. however,
that the war department has made
an appraisal of the damage and is ia
vorable to paying for the loss sustain
ed; In addition to this, q bill has been
introduced in Congress providing for
reimbursement. There seems to be
q reasonable prospect OF the passage
OF this BILL which will assure the cit
liens being repaid for their losses.
The mayors committee will under
take to assist the citizens in the COL
lection of their claims. AS soon as
information is received from WASH
ington stating what claims must show,
forms will be printed and all help pos
SlDle given In tnelr presentation 10
the government. In the meantime
citizens are advised to keep a strict
account of all sums expended by them
in the repair of their houses, and to
make detailed statement of what
damage was done.
Citizens are also advised to make
repairs to their homes as soon as pos
sible, so that with the coming of
cold and wintry weather. sickness may
be avoided. Doing this work will not
prejudice them in presenting their
claims against the government, pro-
viding they keep an account of their
expenditures.
Owing to the scarcity of labor and
materials 1t is difficult to have work
done at this time; in order to provide
these II possible, the committee will
endeavor to secure sufficient labor and
material so as to have the houses
completed before cold weather.
In order TO ascertain which prop
erty owners will make their own re-
pairs. forms have been printed in
which these question: are asked Ev-
cry night there will be representatives
of the mayors committee IN the city
hall for the purpose of answering
questions. All inquiries must be made
of the committee before Thursday
evening. when q meeting will be held

ADJUSTMENT OF CLAIMS
RESULT OF EXPLOSION

matter and the further actions would
rest with whoever had charge.
There is every reason to beneve
that the matter of settling all claims
will be left with the Ordnance De-
partment. however, and in that case
adjusters will be placed in this COM
munity at once, South Amboy. owing
to the more pressing needs there, De-

Asked as to the probable time IL
would take, the colonel said that II the
bill making the appropriation. should
be passed by Congress this week. as ne

within the next two days number 81
men would be sent here and quick
work would be made of the settlement
The colonel said, in answer to fur-
ther questions, that all claims, IN

personal injury and other damages
would be met by the government. He
AID not care TO say as to the matter of
reimbursing a man for the loss or his

or two.
The question of having people bor-
row money from the bank to nave
repairs made, assigning the claim
against the government to the bank
as security was brought up Under
ordinary circumstances claim
against the government cannot be as
signed. The question has arisen, how
ever that when q man asks con-
tractor to make repairs for him, the
contractor asks. how am I TO be as
sured that I will be paid? Likewise,
when a man goes to bank to bor-
row. provided he has not enough
equity in his house to furnish the
necessary security, what assurance
has the bank that 1t will be reim-
bursed for the money loaned? 1t
was contended that IL the bill now
pending in congress would make 1t
possible for a property owner 20 as

Colonel Cruise stated that the bill
did provide that the government

Scoring the Board of Aldermen,
the health department and the city as
q whole for permitting conditions
here which have made possible the
influenza epidemic in this city, with
approximately 10000 cases and
deaths to date of $50. William H.
Wolfram, of the United States Public
Health Service, addressed the Citizens
Emergency Relief Committee at Its
meeting in the East Jersey Club to-
day and urged that steps be taken to
ward off another influenza epidemic
some fourteen or fifteen years hence
by cleaning up the city.
DR.. Wolfram has just been through
the epidemic at Milford, Mass. and
other places in that state and Is ex-
perienced In sanitary work. and has
been sent to this city by the authori-
ties to investigate and report on con-
ditions as they present themselves
here at the present time. 1t has been
rumored that DIR. Wolfram had been
sent to this city to vaccinate people
by the wholesale, but he explained
that this was O mistaken idea and
that although he had the necessary
vaccine he would not use II unless
person requested him to do so.
He said that his investigations and
reports would not only deal with local
housing conditions. but with health
conditions in general, such as the in
spections of hotels, restaurants, sa-
looms, barber shops, soda fountains
and schools DIR. Wolfram said he
had been here two days and felt sad
to think that Perth Amboy had to be
doubly hit. He pointed out that the
government feels very kindly toward
this city and that 1t can get anything
1T may ask for to meet the needs here.
He also showed the great need
~ .A~xw II y
Board of Health.
He classes the city as "a rotten
hole" and urged that 1t be cleaned
up so that infection can not breed
here. He rated the Board OF Alder
men as "weak" and placed the Board
of Health in the same category for
allowing conditions to persist in the
city that would allow the epidemic to
obtain a foothold here. He also
brought out the fact that he did not
consider the medical profession Of
the city had done its part in fighting
the epidemic.
The fact that orders had been is
sued closing up the saloons, but that
they were still working overtime
through the back door durin the ep-
idemic was held up to ridicule by DIR.
Wolfram. He said that Mr.. Treadway
of the State Board of Health, would
visit the cit today or tomorrow and
investigate. conditions here and urged
that he be requested to send a trained
squad of sanitary men here to survey
and clean up the city.
The only way TO fight epidemics.
stated the doctor, is by backfre. or
the same method as is used to check
large forest fires. In order to do this
he poinetd out that when orders are
issued to shut down things to see that
they are shut down, But back of all
this he pointed out and urged thar
the city be cIened up. II am on the
preventive side" sid DR.. Wolfram.
