PLOT To WRECK
TROOP TRAIN?
Penna R. R. Detectives Doubt
1t, But the Circumstances
Are Most Pulling


JAMESBURG, Feb. 6. - Railroad
detectives are investigating the theory
that an attempt was made Tuesday to
wreck a troop train nea Helmetta
yesterday afternoon when troops were
being carted to Camp Dix from Camp
Merritt from overseas service.
Three trains in all were run over the
division and the engineer of the first
section on reaching this place made a
verbal report that while near the
freight house at Helmetta, a rail spike
few up against the cab window and
narrowly escaped striking him in the
face. Detectives were at once placed
along the scene of the reported acct
dent and the following train carrying
soldiers, was run at reduced speed.
Lieutenant Lloyd of the railroad
force of detectives, las been at work
on the case and yesterday was unable
to say positively whether an attempt
had been made to wreck the train or
not.
When questioned, Mr.. Lloyd adj
mitted that he had failed to find any
evidence hat would substantiate the
charge of the engineer and a close ex-
animation of the roadbed also failed
to show any spikes were missing from
the ties.
This spot where the attempt was
made on Tuesday to wreck the train,
has given the railroad authorities
much concern during the past year
No less than three times have rails
been found to have been broken and
in two of the instances narrow es-
capeS of a fatality experienced. One
of the biggest wrecks of the roads his
tory was the result OF a broken rail
near the scene of Tuesdays report
About fifteen cars were piled up and
traffic was held up for the entire day.

the young writer. They're both high

get along"
But he doesn't approve OF Sinclair's

he, when | take a meal with Uppie,
whether he will declare that the only
sane diet is to chew a prune 400 times
and then rub the stone in the hair, or
whether he will want forty pounds Of
raw meat and a couple OF uncooked
cabbages. He doesn't u true to form,
one might say. He never has the
same idea about food twice in success
sion. Once | visited him at Arden,

when do we eat?' | asked Uppie.
There said he, Is a loaf OF whole

that this sort of cold poultice was all
my stomach needed.
THAT may be all right for your
stomach said ], but my stomach has
been pampered. When does the next

"In which direction asked Uppie,

MATAWAN FOR
ALATE TRAIN
Mems Club Takes Up Fight
Started by Perth Amboy
Board of Trade
81 Special Correspondent.

MATAWAN, Feb. 6:-The starting
of a campaign in the borough to get
the Railroad Administration to place
a late train from New York to the
shore towns; the appointing of COM
to plan for the meetings to be
held by the club during the next few
months, and changing the chairmen
of some committees was the business
transacted last night by the Mems
Club of the First Methodist church
at its postponed January meeting.
Acting on the suggestion of the
Perth Amboy Board of Trade that
Matawan cooperate with that city
and other cities and towns along the
shore to have a midnight train out of
New York City over the New York &
Long Branch railroad, president of
the club, Mayor Arris b. Henderson,
placed the matter before the MEM
bers for consideration. It was decid-
ed hat the club would circulate two
petitions in the borough, one to the
Railroad Administration and the
other to the railroad, II after these
requests for the train service have
been signed by everyone in the Dor
ough to send them TO the proper au-
thorities. Matawan feels the loss of
the midnight train TO a great extent
as IL is impossible 10 attend a play or
meeting in New York at this time
unless one desires to stay owe until
the next morning.
The following men were named as
committees to have charge and fur
nish the entertainment for the meet
ings to be held during the mex. TaM
Irfnths. EIwood VanBrackle. Febru.
airy; o. s. Marks. March: Frank
Howard Lloyd, April: Carl briggs
May, and T.. X. Thompson. June.
Because the bylaws OF the club
state that the first vice presidents
must serve as the heads of commit
tees, o. s. Marks vas made chairman
of the entertainment committee In
place of Il. HI. Lloyd.
