MORE GUARDS
IS DEMAND
Freebooter HaIght Takes Up
Matter at Meeting
By staff Correspondent.

By STAFF Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 12:-
Additional guards to properly patrol
and protect the storage grounds and
magazines at Raritan Arsenal are to
be asked for by the county board Of
freeholders.
Clerk of the board Thomas J.. Null
vfhill was authorized and instructed
at yesterdays meeting to get in i'm
mediate communication with the
ordnance department and request
hat additional guards be added to
the present force.
The reduction in the number of
guards, as told in the EVENING
NEWS early~in the week, prompted
Freebooter Clarence NJ. Haight 10
bring the matter to the attention of
the governing body of the county.
Mr.. Haight, who has attended and
followed up the various investiga-
tons and meetings regarding the
safeguarding of county residents and
their property from explosions and
fires at the government owned plants
in this vicinity, said that he had no
fear of danger at the plants provid-
ing hat they were properly guarded,
and that in his opinion the matter
should be taken up with the govern
ment authorities at once.
Speaking further on the subject
Mr.. Haight related how at the in
v~estigation at Camp Raritan he had
observed one guard patroling a beat
on which eight magazines were To-
Gated. In his opinion three buildings
were the maximum number one
guard could properly watch.
Reports from Col. Andrews, the
commandant at the arsenal. have
been received by County Solicitor
Frederick F. Richardson showing
the amounts of various materials re-
ceivfd, shipped and stored. These
reports will be read before the mem
0ers of the board, probably at the
next meeting.
Col. Andrews acknowledged to Mr..
Richardson last week that additional
guards are necessary, but stated that
he was powerless in the matter.
Guards have been removed from the
police force on account of lack of
funds with which to pay them, and
until further appropriations are made
for the purpose, Col. Andrews has
said that he will be unable to in
crease the force.
Senator Frelinghuysen and Con-
gresham Scully, at the time of the
investigation conducted at Raritan,
declared themselves as willing and
anxious to assist the freeholders in
any recommendations they might
make to further protect the commu-
nifty.
With the request that the arsenal
be more satisfactorily patrolled n
guarded being sent direct to Wash
ington the Board of Freeholders are
in hopes of hearing of immediate re-
suits. by the War Department adding
a suitable number of men to the
force now guarding the arsenal.

MARY PICKFORD
 AT LIBERTY THEATRE

DOUGLAS, June 21.-1he legion of
 admirers of Mary Pickford will find
 her new Aircraft ptohoplay, How
 Could You, Jean?" one of the best
 vehicles in which she has been seen
 since "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm '
 This is a delightful story which em-
 phizes the truth that even aristocratic
 young women, when impoverished,
 will find themselves equal to every requirement, even though circum- stances force them to earn their live lihood as ordinary house cooks. This charming photoplay is based upon the novel of the same name by Flea nor Hoyt Brainard, published serial ly some time aga, in leading maga-
 zine and later appearing in book form with great success.
 Jean becomes a cook in a literary family, living in the country, and her leisure hours are devoted largely ly to repelling the unwelcomed af- lection of Oscar, a house servant, and to confiding her petty troubles to Henrietta, the COW. She meets Ted Burton, the son of grouchy million aire, who instantly falls in love with her, and who, when he learns that Jean is a cook in the Bonner house
 hold, bribes Oscar to resign his posi-
 tion while he takes his place as
 hired man. There are numerous
 thrilling incidents and many pretty
 bucolic scenes, which attend their
 courtship, and when both come to a
 realization of their own masquerades, they find happiness in their mutual
 love.
