POLICE FORCE IS
BADLY DEPLETED

Chief Burke has great deal 70
worry about these days for many VI
his men are i'll at home ana othei !,
are reporting off duty rapidly ah't
from the present outlook the lorVs
will be mighty small for some ume II
plans are not made py the aiuei nv
to put on more men.
At the 11o'clock shift last night
only two men went to work the othefs
all reporting off sick. This shitt is
the ..heavy" shift generally and ABOUT
ten men usually turn out at TINS time
1t was expected that at ue t',
meeting of the Board OF, Aldermen
that the matter of putting on a',cl-
tional men to take the places OF men
who had become too SICK to woEk
would be taken up, but owing 10 other
things this matter did not come up
and from the present outlook no new
men will be appointed untl january.
1919. when the new budget Is maue
m unless the city fathers decide 10
pnt on chancemen who will work as
extra mer for the next two months
and then be appointed as regular men.
If is understood that this mater ls
being considered for it is certain that
the city will have to have inore protec-
ton than two mer at night. Ineh
again the aldermen are considering
the matter of taking off the trafhc men
can be used to better advantage pro-
tecting the city at night than by do
ing traffic duty.
At the next meeting 1t is said that
a roundsman will be appointed TO MI
a vacancy that exists at this Tune.
When Nels Tonneson was MADE
street sergeant no one was named as
roundsman, as he did roundsman
duty. Since then, however. Sergeant
BILLY" McDermott died and Street
Sergeant Morris. it is expected, Will
fill his place, while Sergeant Tonne
son will become day street sergeant.
At this time Andrew Jensen is act
ing night roundsman and from what
can be learned officially he will be
named by the aldermen at the next
meeting as a regular roundsman.
At the next meeting the aldermen
will also most likely consider the pur-
chasing of small runabout automo-
bile for the police department. as the
present runabout has about seen its
best days.

MUST WORK HARD
To OBTAIN QUOTA

In spite of the Mysteries into which
the city has worked itself through the
explosion and influenza epidemic, the
Liberty loan seems to be pushing Its
head UP through the debris and rolling
up subscriptions.
Yesterday s12,400 subscriptions
were received making the grand total
$1,Zp3,500. This money has been sub
scribed even in view of the fact that
property damage has effected nearly
every resident In the city and makes
1t doubly hard to see ones way clear
to take bonds at the present time.
AS there is ban placed on all
meetings. even those that might be
held in the open, every team must
work that much harder to raise the
necessary amount in order that Perth
Amboy may reach it's allotment. AL
though this city has suffered one day
and night with a taste of the real war
fare from the explosion at the Nor
gan shell loading plant 1t Is only a
drop in the bucket when compared
with what the boys In France are suf-
fering. and every one must do his ut
most in order to obtain the allotment.

Carter, one of counsel representing the

the Elizabethtown Water Company and
water concerns for permission to di-
vert water from the Raritan river for
additional supplies for Elizabeth and
adjacent communities, yesterday caus-
ed a new development In the proceed

the Piscataway Water Company. the
Raritan Water Company and the Mid
dlesex Water Company, which are CO.
applicants before the State Conserva-
ton Board. and declared that the
main company should be required to

But Berkowitz is not the kind to be
lightly thrust aside, and q day in Jail

was easily paid. 1t was the loss Of the

Naturally puzzled at the fact that

who resides In this city and who is said
to be an agent for brewery in New

Weiss applied to the excise board
for a transfer of the license held by
James F. Burns in New Brunswick

Officers Quarters At Gen.
eraI Hospital Wiped Out
This Morning

Two captains were burned to death
and Ave lieutenants were slightly
burned and injured in fire which
destroyed the officers quarters at U.
8. General Hospital No. 8. at Colonia,
at 2 o'clock this morning:
The dead are:
Captain Fred f. Towle, M. o.
home address, Portsmouth, N. ID.
Captain Warren T. Walker, Q. NJ
c.; home address, Syracuse, N. Y.
The detailed account of the fire was
given out by Captain Adtutant Sellers
of the reservation this morning. The
blaze started from an unknown cause
in the officers quarters, which con-
sisted of a one-story frame structure
built to accommodate sixty officers.
There were twenty-five officers IN
the building at the outbreak of the
fire which spread rapidly.
The officers building was burned to
the ground, nothing but charred
sticks being left on the place. There
was no disorder, no sightseers this
morning, the place having assumed
its usual calm.
The bodies of the two captains
were recovered from the ruins. The
injured received tnelr Durns IN tnelI
efforts to escape from the building.
It is supposed that the two victims
were trapped In their rooms and
could not get through the wall OF
flame.
Lieuts. Frazer and schemanski
were both reported this morning 10
have been burned.
The quarters were isolated from
the main hospital buildings where
there are q large number OF patients
injured overseas.
There was no danger to the hospi-
tai buildings and no alarm was given
, Many of the men In the hospital did
not know of the fire until this morn
ing.
It is considered q fortunate fac
that the flames did not find their way
to the hospital structures, in view oi
the fact that while they are well pro-
tected against fire, they are connect.
ed, one with the other, by corridors
and fire would raise havoc were il
to get good start. There are a large
number of patients, estimated a
about 500. being treated there at the
present time.
when the first alarm was given
the hospital fire company turned out
and an alarm was sent in for Railway
and Elizabeth apparatus. which ar
rived and did good work. although
the flames were under control when
they got to the scene.

were gathered together by the super
intendent and marched out to the
yard, where they remained during
the explosion, that they might be In
a place of greatest safety. When tho
plan of receiving the refugees was
put to the inmates, and the superin-
| tendent asked them II they were will
| ing to give up their rooms and to
share their food, there was the great
est willingness manifested, accompa-
MED by hearty cheers, according to
Mr.. Moore's special report. AS soon
as the possibility of greater explosions
seemed passed, the young men went
to the rooms in one of the wings,
cleaned them all up. left everything
in order and took with them only one

with some of the other children In
another. In this way the wing easily
accommodated 519. The refugees
were given their suppers on Saturday
night and their breakfast on Sunday
morning. After breakfast it was found
that a number of them could get back
to their homes at South Amboy and
Perth Amboy, and so all during sun

tuition. On Sunday night only those
whose homes were in South Amboy
and who had no relatives that could
, take care of them anywhere else, re-
mained at the reformatory. Accom-
modations were assured for all OF
