BABY G|R[ DIES,
BEING GRQSHED
BY TR0LLfYtAR
Was Crossing Tracks in Upper
Smith Street Late Yesterday
When Run Own

With practically every bone broken
and the skull mangled beyond reeog-
milton, the lifeless body of fve-year-
old Tessie Mutusevszky OF 322 Good
win street was removed from beneath
the wheels of public service trolley
yesterday afternoon by which 1t had
been dragged along Smith street for
over ninety feet. According to stor-
les of eye witnesses interviewed by
Coroner Flynn It appears that Adolph
Pittman of South Amboy. the motor
man, was operating the car at high
rate OF speed.
The child, who with several play
mates was having a good time on the
corner of Goodwin and Smith streets
was called by her mother and told to
60 to the grocery store on the other
side of the street. Accordingly the
three of them started out and 1t was
less than three minutes after the girl
left her mother that she was killed.
The girls commenced to cross the
street and before Tessie, who was
slightly ahead of her friends. could
turn back, she had been struck by the
car. The cries of the other girls
brought out Tessie's mother, who was
nearly crazed with grief.
Coroner Flynn said this morning
that in all probability a coroner's in
quest would be held so that the blame
might be placed on the right persons
The child will be buried this AFTER
non at o'clock from st. stephens

BOARD Men
TO GO TO RARITAN
TO Make DEMANDS

The unexpected signing of the arm
istice in November has resulted rather
for the local Water De-
partment, at least so far as contracts
made with the government to supply
from two to three and half million
gallons day to the Colonia base nos
pital and the Camp Raritan arsenai
have not been fulfilled and the wa
ter Department, after spending more
than $4,000 on improvements and
extensions so as to be able to furnish
the two government projects with this
enormous amount OF water, are losing
from $3.50 to $3.50 day In water
rents.
AS a result of the conditions the
board has decided to go to Camp Rar-
itan at Bonhamtown on Tuesday OF
next week and determine from the Of
ficers there If that camp Is going to
live up to the contract. The matter
will then be taken up with the proper
officials at Washington.
No alternative was given the Water
Board last August, when the commls-
sioners were notified without any
warning by government army officials
that the Perth Amboy plant would
have to furnish the Colonia base nos
pital and Camp Raritan with water
which, according to statements issued
then, would be two million gallons q
day at first, increasing to probably
three and a half million. The com.
missioners informed the government
officials that in order to meet this
demand, extensions to the present sys
tenn would have to be made. whici
would cost more than $4,000:
1t was finally decided that thu
board should go ahead with the exten.
sion work, the government promising
to pay $4,000 in advance as a part
of the water bills, which would be
charged against 1t, this amount to
help defray improvement expenses
Following several meetings and con
ferences between the Water Commit
tee of the Board of Aldermen and the
Water Board as whole, permission
was secured to have a bond issue oil
100000 fioated for the necessary i'm
provements, including a new gas en-
gine and equipment costing 900
and q new pump costing s3,O42 to
be placed at Runyon.
The matter of rates then came mp

$50 a million gallons. The govern

finally placed $40 per million gallans
as thep rice which 1t would pay. The
water commissioners had no choice in
the matter, as the government offi-
cials threatened to take over the en-
tire plant il the board refused this
offer.
After all of these arrangements for
the supply has been made
and the city began to increase its sup
ply, the armistice was signed, eIten-
sions at the hospital and the arsenal
stopped and they de-
layed the time when they would start
to consume water furnished by this
city.
The government agreed to lay the
necessary pipe from Mattano place
to connect with the Middlesex Water
Company pipes. In order to secure
the necessary pressure it was found
necessary to place a pumping station

and this city.

NEW YORK, March s-with the

through the agreement OF the en-
ployes of the railroad boats to return
to work Immediately, efforts were
made today by James L. Hughes, a
conciliator of the federal department
of labor, to induce the private boat
owners to agree to the terms granted
yesterday by the railroad administra-
ton. These terms included the
granting of an eight hour day and
wage increases amounting to more
than thirty per cent in some cases.
About 5000 of the strikers, en-
ployes of the railroad administration.
returned to their duties during the
night and early today. Representa-

and provided the funds with which the work was started. And now that they are in control of congress again, it is reasonable to believe that they will welcome the opportunity to carry on the work to completion. With a friendly congress on the one hand, and an administration pledged to Alaska development on the other, the territory should have comparatively smooth sailing. We anticipate that the Republicans will want to know a lot about federal activities during the time that the Democrats have been in control of affairs in Alaska, but we do not believe that they will go to the extreme of jeopardizing the railroad enterprise by withholding funds need ed to continue the work. They will not if they are properly informed of the true conditions in Alaska, and we believe the territory is fortunate in having MT.

WHAT KIND OF A STUNT IS THIS?

The Oakland (Calif.) Tribune of April 15 contains the following:
 Detained when the police went to the dock and arrested twenty Mexi- cans who had taken passage on the vessel, and who are alleged to have been smuggled across the border, the steamer Governor sailed from San Francisco for Puget sound Saturday several hours behind schedule time.
 "The men taken ashore are said to have shipped to go to Alaska for a big cannery, which outfits in Puget sound.
 "All of the members of the crew were sent from this port, with free transportation. Two wagon loads of prisoners, who are under sentence for six months, were also taken aboard and will go to the cannery. They were carefully guarded by the police, who prevented any mistakes. Altogether there are 400 prisoners who will be sent to Alaska instead of being fed by San Francisco"
 Of course, we have no means of knowing whether this published state ment is true, or partially true, or wholly false. We reproduce it as we find it, with the comment that if true, 1t is nothing more or less than a damnable outrage to permit these can neries to import to Alaska such a class of laborers. The citizenship of Alaska, on the whole, will compare very favorably indeed with that of any commonwealth under the Ameri- can flag. Indeed, our patriotism and loyalty to the government, with few remote exceptions, are undisputed. Alaska goes over the top in all patriotic endeavors, the best possible test as to the loyalty of it's citizens. But we shall reserve further comment until Fwce know whether or not there is foundation in fact for this publish ed story. We have no wish to unjust ly accuse the canneries or any other concerns. In an important matter like this, we must be armed with the facts.-Anchorage Times.

BURLESON'S DEFENSE

Postmaster General Burleson, beset by enemies within and without his own party, committed blunder-or was the victim of blunder-which renders his position almost hopeless. The telegraph companies under his control refused to send out on their wires to American newspapers the fol- lowing summary of news article which the New Yokr World, through its news bureau, was offering for sale:
 Washington - Seibold-Burleson pictured as snoop, trouble-maker, dis organizer, autocrat and arch-politic- ian-post office employees call their chief slave driver, convict laborers having been whipped on his farm Misgovernment of mail system alleged He is credited with having put na- tional prohibition through - 5000 (words)."
 When the New York World com plained of this amazing censorship the postmaster general ordered the telegraph companies to pass all mat ter relative to him and denied that he had ordered the refusal to transmit the worlds summary.
 The point is that, under government control, the telegraph companies at tempted to establish a censorship in behalf of a government official who was a target for criticism. Had the censorship been enforced the Worlds article criticizing Burleson would not have appeared throughout the coun- try. And had a censorship been estab- lished as result of this precedent the freedom of the press guaranteed by the federal constitution, supported by the constitution of the states, would have disappeared.
 Admittedly such censorship could not have endured for long in a free country, but in view of the war re- strictions carried over into peace times, the people are beginning to doubt whether we have maintained our ancient freedom in full force and effect. It is by just such autocratic acts as the war made necessary and as MT. Burleson's bureaucrats copied that freedom is gradually wrested from a people.
 Inasmuch as the order to suppress the Worlds article was in violation of the United States constitution it was an act which would have justified the impeachment of MT. Burleson. Whether he was responsible for the order is still question, but the fact that he hastened to rescind it does not prove that he was not author of it, for he may have realized, soon after ls- suing it, the dire consequences it might entail to himself.
 We are inclined to think, however, that the postmaster general did not authorize the order. Only madman or bureaucrat of the smallest calibre, in our opinion, could have issued such an order. Burleson may be arrogant, dictatorial and bungling admins trator, but it is inconceivable that he could have been guilty of such narrow ness. Nevertheless he must accept the responsibility, for it is under his administration that this astonishing offense was committed.
 In one sense the affair has served as a useful purpose. It has warned the American people that grave peril turks in government ownership. that the country's fundamental institutions are menaced by political control of the means of communication and trans portation. And the more government control is extended the greater the
