Report Damage Actions
Against Midd|esex County

NEW BRUNSWICK. July 15.-It
is rumored here today that three
damage suits are about to be started
against Middlesex county as the re-
suits of an accident at the bridge
which a Manalapan creek, near
the Outcalt station on the road lead
ing to the physical culture city,"
Some time ago the bridge over this
creek gave way Is an automobile
party was crossing it. landing the
machine and the occupant in the
Icreek below.
The machine was driven by Jack
Weller, who resides in physical
culture city" and both he and his
wife since the accident although not
Injured to any serious extent have
suffered a breakdown. The
machine was badly damaged, which
damage is said to have been paid by
an insurance company, the said
company now trying to collect from
the county the amount of money 1t
had to pay out.
The question which is concerning
the board of freeholders at the
present time is who owns the
bridge. The bridge was built about
twenty-five years ago on private
property and by private interests,
but for the past twenty years 1t has
been used as a public highway, and
this fact residents in the vicinity OF
the bridge claim. makes 1t public
property and under the control OF
THE county. The road leading up
Ito the bridge is owned by the town
ship. The bridge has never been re-
built since it gave way and those
who wish to visit physical culture
| CITY do so by walking across
the planking of the old bridge or
the bottom of the stream and pull

The Board of Freeholders and the
Monroe township officials held a
Joint meeting about a week ago al
which time the ownership OF tne
| bridge was the main topic under
consideration. 1t was decided al
this meeting to look into the case
and determine who the bridge be,
longs to. 1t is likely the matter will

Waterway; Big Project
(Continued from page ID

At present the Raritan river has
a fifteen-foot channel from this city
to Sayreville and from that place 10
New Brunswick but ten feet. When
the public hearing on the question is
held in October it is probable that
the general demand then will be for
"a thirty-foot channel up the Raritan
to New Brunswick. 1t is not ex-
Ipected, however. that the govern
ment would attempt the dredging
on such a broad scale at this time,
as it has been estimated hat a hf-
teen-foot channel all the way to
New Brunswick would cost ST.
10000.
Rodney Miller, the government
marine engineer and surveyor. who
was one of the party stated that
many preliminaries had to be gone
through prior to undertaking a work
of this nature, but he felt certain
that the public hearing would be
held in October. Although 1t Is the
Perth Amboy or New Brunswick
custom, he said to hold such hear
ings in New York. he thought thai
Perth Amboy or New Brunswick
would be selected as the place on this
occasion, thus making it possible
for more people from this vicinity to
attend and be heard without neces-
stating travelling all the way to
New York.

Janney-K upfeT Murder
Mystery Finally Solved

CONTINUED from page IL
The fanny girl was eighteen years
old and Kupfer several years older.
Kupfer, accompanied by Isaac SAKE.
a local storekeeper. had gone to
Soldiers Beach on the night of the
murder and there met Miss fanny
and Mrs. Genevieve Hendrickson.
The party left there about $3.50
o'clock and arrived home here at
1880 o'clock. Mr.. Sake and Mrs.
Hendrfckson were let out of the car
in this city.
According to a statement made by
SAKE on the morning following the
murder, Kupfer told him he was
going to take his companion right
home. 1t was found out the follow
ing day by an EVENING NEWS
reporter, however. that the couple
visited the Highland Park hotel
later that night and had remained
there until after midnight. Nc trace
of the couple being alive after
that time was eve found.
The fanny girl lived at POI Smith
street and was well known in this
city. coming in contact with many
people because of her position as
cashier at the Madison Hotel. Kup-
fer's home was at Az Neville
street.
When found on the morning fol-
lowing the murder a bullet wal
found in Kupfer's heart while Miss
fanny had been struck in the head.
Kupfer's body was thrown from the
machine on Milton avenue. near
Bryant avenue, Railway, and that
of Miss fanny was disposed of some
distance away, near the Linden line.
The discovery in the automobile
of a girls hat and powder puff and
a small mirror at first led the police
to believe there had been another
girl in the car and that the murder
had been committed by her because
of jealousy. Investigation showed
that the mirrow belonged in the a
anad that the powder pun and hat
were the property OF Miss fanny.

THE HARVEST

From the Wisconsin State Journal
 The clock ticks thirty minutes-and man is killed through motor car ac- cident.
 It ticks for another thirty minutes and another person Is killed.
 And so it goes. hour in and hour out of the twenty-foqr, day in and day out of the seven, month in and month out of the twelve-every thirty minutes some one is killed in this country through automobile accidents. The grand total exceeds 15,000 deaths 8 year.
 These were facts brought out at a recent meeting of the national sefety council in Atlantic City. It is a bad record. With almost 100000 motor cars in use and the number growing, the chances are not that accidents will be fewer.
 It behooves both the pedestrian and the driver of motor car to take care, to be doubly careful. Watch your step" is sound logic for walkers. Be always on guard and your car under perfect control" good advice for chauf feurs. Each might figure that the other is consummate fool-just as safety factor,
