ARREST AFTER
ACCIDENT HERE
Three Accidents, Two Here
s., and One in Metuchen, Re-
ported Over the Holiday.

Two accidents were reported to
the police over the Weekend. Pa
trolman Frank Kasprzak received
the report of an accident at the Cen
tral railroad tracks on Smith street,
bus driven by Frank Sebski. of 26t
Neville street, and owned by the
Axel bus line, ran into the railroad
gates and broke the southwestern
gate about SIS o'clock Saturday
night.
According to the report Peter
Baszanal, the gatetender, blew his
whistle and then lowered the gates,
the bus had stopped according to
law, before reaching the crossing,
and started again before the whistle
had been blown. The driver sue
ceeded in stopping his machine and
driving off the track. No one was
hurt.
The police were forced to do con
siderable watching around this
crossing after the accident, mas
much as a man with a sign in his
hand was the only thing TO prevent
vchlcles from going on the tracks
in the path of oncoming locomotives.
In attempting to turn west from
Amboy avenue into Hall avenue
about $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
noon, an automobile driven by John
Wolezanski, of State street, struck
the right rear fender of an automo-
bile driven by NJ. Goldsmith, Of New

accident occurred. Patrolman Frank
Tonghini arrested Wolezanski for
driving an automobile without n Ii
cense, and the latter furnished a S25
