by Sp6CfUI correspondent.
KEASBEY, Oct. 13.-Grace KopZa
the six year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Kopza, of New Bruins
wick avenue, is confined at the Perth
Amboy city hospital, suffering with
conclusion of the brain, the results of
being struck by an automobile being
driven of J. A. Jochin of 1876 Sherman
street, Perth Amboy. The accident
happened Saturday at 1915 o'clock
at Rogans corner when the child
ran from behind an ice wagon into the
path of the oncoming automobile.
According to the story told to the
Perth Amboy police by Jochin, he
was coming east on New Brunswick
avenue and ahead of him at the foot
of hill there was an ice wagon. Two
girls, one six and the> other twelve
years old were behind the wagon and
he could not see them. The Oldest
girl ran out from behind the wagon.
Jochin claims he blew his horn and
the girl ran back. The youngest girl
then ran out and was hit by the radia-
tor of the car. He picked up the in
jured< child and took her to the hos
pital where she was placed under the
care of Dr. George w. Tyrrell.
1t was reported that the child was
dead, but this was denied at the hos
pital today. Jochin was not held.

Saturday afternoon the Garretson
boys, Bill and Donald, started for
Princeton by air, to see the Lafay-
tte-Princeton game. They got away
in great shape, but the motor didn't
just suit Donald, the mechanician. So
he asked Bill to bring the ship"
down SO he could make some minor
adjustments. They dropped into
small field near the Raritan Arsenal,
and Donald quickly located and over
canTe the difficulty. Some dirt had
accumulated in one of the two jets
Of the double carbureter.
Al the take-off, however, the field
proved 200 small to get out Of sue
'soessfuI1y. There were a lot of trees
on the windward side of the field, and
while the machine rose rapidly to a
position higher than the treetops in
doing so she lost some forward speed
and was not able to sustain herself.
With very good Judgment the pilot
decided not to force the machine,
which, if it failed, might have result
ed disastrously. He simply let 1t
down where it was, over some trees
they call it "pancaking" in the inner
circle The machine settled slowly,
with no injury to the occupants, and
with some damage to itself. The
damage is slight in amount, but the
peculiar position made it necessary
to dsmantle the machine to get 1t
out. They expect to resume flying in
about a week.
A number of people from the ar
senal hurried to the scene when they
saw the machine settling. They were
surprised to be greeted by both boys,
and find no casualties. One fellow
came up all out of breath and wanted

Fifteen minutes after the boy
drowned, his body was brought to the

One of the youngsters suggested
playing on the trestle, which is used
by the brick plant for hauling clay
cars from the clay bank and crosses a
small creek with but eight feet OF
water at high tide. It happened to be
high water at the time. Had it MOI
been, the boy would probably have
never drowned, as the water Is en-
tirely out of the creek at low water.
The boys soon were enjoying them
selves climbing about the trestle
They were given warning and chased
away by men of the factory, but would
not heed the warning.
Futo endeavored to do some stunts

The pilot says this little affair is just
one more argument, added to the
many that already resulted from the

rs we'll come now, he says Had there
been, for instance, at New Brunswick
a good field properly marked SO as
to be seen from the air, they would
have landed there, made adjustments,
and taken off again, and the whole
thing would have been comparable to
a stop for gas with a touring car.
A large amount of speculation has
come about as result of a trip that
| Bill took the other day, accompanied
by one of the mechanicians. He went
up over the Sound about opposite the
TottenVille ferry slip, and held the
machine into the teeth of the wind,
with the motor pulling, the result be-
ing a vertical climb. Under these con-
ditions, however, the climb is so
slow, that from a great distance on
the ground it appears to be standing
still. Many people saw the ship in
mid-air, and each one has a different
theory to offer. Many have approach
ed the pilot with questions as to
what was the matter" supposing
that the machine had been stopped
for repairs. Some people in Totem
vile even say that they actually saw
someone walking around on one of the
wings and one woman who drives a
flivVer, thinks that she saw somebody
trying to crank the motor. Bill says
that in fifteen minutes, holding the
machine against the wind. he rose
1000 feet vertically.

boat, the Perth Amboy, on the route
to take care of the travel and that
craft was kept going back and forth
over the sound to relieve the conges-
ton piling upon the Tottenyille side
/ with pleasure cars and trucks At
one time the line on the Tottenville
| side extended out Bentley street and
! out several blocks on Amboy road
waiting TO get to the boat. The ferry
| boat Tottenville used as spare boat
! during the summer could not be
| brought down on account of the strike.
{ The only ferry line running out of New
| York to New Jersey was the Lacka-
wanna railroad; beside those touch
Ing New Jersey from Port Richmond
| to Bergen Point and Hollands Hook
to Elizabethport.
| This threw most of the travel to
