FEW VIOLATE
 NEW RULING Merchants Object to ordin- ance Forbidding
 Parking.

New traffic regulations which for bid the parking of automobiles in Main street between East Washington avenue and South avenue, and in Fairfield avenue between the railroad station and Courtland street, between the hours of 6 a. m. and 10 p. m., went into effect this morning. So far there have been but few violations of the new rule, and in most cases the offenders were outsiders who did not know of the new ordinance. Police men were inclined to be 1enient with car owners who parked their ma chimes inside the boundaries today, and many were released with a. warn ing. Tagging will begin in earnest tomorrow.
 It is understood that some mer- chants have already entered objec- tions to the new ruling, on the grounds that their business will suffer. It is quite probable, however, that the great majority of storekeepers are in favor of the new plan.

ZONE TICKETS
 ARE POPULAR Manager Goodwin Pleased With Working of
 New Zones.

The new zone fare system is work ing out splendidIy, said Manager Jo- seph Goodwin this afternoon. It is working even better than the system that was in vogue up to this time, he continued. There seems to be a scramble for zone tickets which in every way benefits the patron because the extra zone costs only two cents when a ticket is given, while the cash fare requires three cents. These tic-
 kets are appreciated by those who take long rides.
 According to the official there has been no misunderstanding or con- fusion in putting the new system in- to force. The trolley men have been coached on their work and they have been able to answer all questions Zone markers have been put up on the several lines to help the riding 1 public understand when the different ] zones are entered.
 l To assist the workers, several fac l tories have the zone tickets on sale | These may also be purchased from 1 the inspectors and starters in the 1 street as well as several of the store: i in the business section.

As he was on his way home Satur- day night, A. J. Kenhanick, of 669 Central avenue was held up by three men in Central avenue between Bar mum avenue and Williston street. Kenhanick saw the men approach him, and upon being told to throw up his hands," drew a revolver and fired two shots at the highwayme en- They ran off into the darkness.
 The intended victim reported the incident to the police, and a short time later three boys were arrested in Stratford. They were suspected of being connected with the hold up, but Kenhanick was unable to identify them. The boys were released from custody this mornin.
 Kenfanick had $500 on his person at the time of the attempted robbery, and he determined to fight rather than lose the money. The footpads were evidently unarmed.

MANUFACTURER SHOT
 BY MASKED BANDIT

Hoboken, N. J., May 1o-Frederick Rueckert, vice president of the White Metal Manufacturing Co.,, shot five times by a masked burglar in his home here early Sunday, died in the St. Mary's hospital today.
 The police said today that they had no clue to Rueckert's assailant. The mask used by the man was found in the dining room of the house. There were no witnesses to the shooting Nothing of value was taken from the house, although there was cash and other vaIuabIes there at the time.
 Police today discredited reports that the shooting was an act of re venge or that the assai1ant may have been seeking the secret formula used by Rueckerts firm for making whibe metal
 Entrance to the house was very carefully planned, according to the police and they believe that the as- sailant was an expert burglar who was surprised at his work by Rueck- ert before he had an opportunity tc gather any loot.
 Rueckert, the police said, came tc the United States from Germany in May, 1914, and immediately took out his first papers. When the war broke out his property was seized by the custodian of alien property. He took out his final papers after the signing of the armistice and got his property from the custodian. Miss Elsie Vorrach, who was to have become Rueckert's bride within few days, was at his bedside when he died.
