nation wide appeal for a last minute
squirt to put the fourth Liberty Loan

William G.. McAdoo today appealed
for a subscription to the two billion
dollar deficit in the remaining few
hours of the loan. His appeal fol-

least two billion dollars to complete
the fourth Liberty Loan.

hopes of civilization are centered up
on America.
I'VE shall fail in everything we
have fought for and hope to gain IN

ARREST ALIENS
At MORGAN CAMP

Captain Charles Ainsworth, of the
United States Army, who is In charge
of the police and fire departments at
the T. A. Gillespie Shell Loading
Plant at Morgan for the United States
government, has received q number
of complaints during the past week
from men employed at the plant that
their lockers and rooms have been
entered and robbed and that in some
cases large sums of money were takeh
and also watches and rings.
The result was that CAPTAIN Aims
worth did little detective work and
last night he arrested three men
whom he caught in the act of robbing
one of the rooms.
The men who were employed in
spraying around the ruins so as te
destroy any germs that might be
lurking there entered a room and
stole a number of valuables. including
money and watches. They were
caught by the captain and made a
confession. They were brought to
Perth Amboy police headquarters and
later arraigned before Recorder Pick
ersgill, who fined them 500 each
with the choice OF 120 days each in
the county workhouse.
The prisoners were Frank Saralea
of New York City. Russell Taylor of
Sayreville, and Frank Goldberg of
800 East avenue, this city. They had
not paid their fines up to late hour
this morning.

Charles Quinn, Left Duty on
Night of Explosion and Was
off Several Days
EGAN Is AGAIN IN WRONG
Lybeck and NeIs Hanson Have
Good Excuses for Being
Absent on Oct. a

Mayor John r. TenBroeck today re-
ceived charges against four local pa
trolmen preferred by Chief OF Police
Patrick J. Burke.
The patrolmen, Charles Quinn,
James Egan, Chris Hanson and Nels
Lybeck are charged with not report
ing for duty when they were called
upon on Friday. Oct. 4 or when the
big explosion took place at Morgan.

tee meeting tonight and will most
likely be acted upon at the regular
meeting on Monday night.
According to Chief Burke, Patrol
man Charles Quinn, who Is the traffic
officer at Smith and Madison avenue.
left town on Friday at the time of the
explosion and did not return until sew
eral days later and that this Is a very
bad example for a policeman who Is
paid by the city to protect 1t in just
such case as this. Quinn has been
a patrolman for about ten years and
has never been up on charges before.
The charge in this case, however, Is
a very severe one and II may mean
his dismissal from the force.
Patrolman Egan Is said by the chief
to have reported off duty and havo
been seen about town afterwards and
he Is accused OF neglect of duty ana
of various other things. none OF
which have as yet been made public
but the charges are said to be grave.
He has been q patrolman only a short
time and was on the force only q
few weeks when he was up on charges
OF having imbibed too freely and
caused some trouble in a local thea
ter by throwing chewing gum In the
hair OF one of the actresses. He was
fined at that time and warned that the
next time he would be dealt severely
with. 1t Is understood that the most
of the aldermen feel In his case that
he should be dismissed from the force.
Patrolman Chris Hansen. who does
traffic duty at Smith and Prospect
streets, has been on the force twenty
years and in all of that time has never
been up on charges. He worked all
day Friday, October and until s
O'Clock that night. then reported off
but was told that he would have TO
work that night as the force was
short-handed but he did not do so
He has certificate from DIR. William
II. Mccormick in which the doctor
tells of being called to examine him
the night he did not work and that he
was in bad way from complete ex-
haustion and that 1t would have been
utterly impossible for him to have
worked that night. This matter has
been Investigated and as far as can be
learned Patrolman Hanson will not be
severely dealt with for the aldermen
seem to think that a mistake has been
made in his case.
Patrolman Nels Lybeck has been
ten years on the force. He worked
all day Friday and Friday night un-
til o'clock and then reported Off
and he claims that he received no
orders to work that night for II he
did he would have done SO and there
seems to be a misunderstanding here
and 1t Is expected that the matter Will
be sifted down to facts

Bic DECREASE
IN DEATHS HERE

marked decrease in the influenza
epidemic in this city was reported
this morning at the meeting of the
mayors committee by Chairman Oil
yer w. Ramsay.
This decrease is not only found In
the number of new cases. but also in
the number of deaths occurring dur
ing the night. From all appearances
the epidemic is on the wane here.
The fact that these decreases are
taking place in spite of the damp,
foggy nights, which would aid the dis
ease, lends the impression that the
epidemic has reached its apex here
and Is ON the downward trail.
So favorable are the conditions that
it was reported at the mayors COM
mittee meeting that the outside dig
ging of graves would stop tonight.
This means that men employed In
this work as extras would not be of
further need. The death rate in the
city from the first of October up to
and including October 16, has been
great. According to figures compiled
there have been 229 deaths in tho city
within this time. This is about fifty
per cent. of the total yearly death rate
in the city from all causes. The usual
number of deaths for the year being
about $50.
Chairman Ramsay reported the
total number of cases received this
morning as 127. fifteen of these are
repeaters, which makes the total
number of new cases 112.
The need of additional physicians
here is still very great and Mayor
TenBroeck appealed to Governor
