TWO AUTOS COLLIDE

When a man has a narrow escape
and comes out unhurt, he feels how
blessed it is to be living. This was
the experience of E. A. Blair last
Tuesday afternoon when he made a
sudden connection with Buick Six
and was landed over the curb right
side up unhurt on the parking. Mr..
Blair was driving his Chevrolet and
was coming in from the east on 1st
Avenue South and when at the cor
ner by the Methodist Church Buick
Six, driven by a stranger, approach
ed from the north at g good rate of
speed and was unnoticeu by Mr.. Blair
in time to stop. Those that saw the
collision say that the left hand pig
con wing cut by E. A. in an attempt
to avoid the smash would have been
worth thousands to a film company
as comical stunt for the screen. He
was hit however, in the rear and
boosted over the curb and with but
little damage to the car and none to
himself. The Buick was not so fortu'
nate as it too was varied from its
course and also jumped the curb
into a tree, smashing one fender and
landing up against Mr.. Alspach's
garden fence. 1t was a fortunate af-
fair after all as no one was hurt.

score of 10-5 in their favor. Those
who were present at the game de-
clare it was an interesting one not

good many errors. The boys are all
playing good ball and are improving
each game. Perry made two excel

base shutting out scores each time.
Kelley is showing up well in the
box and Forbes behind the bat is

inning withdrew from the game.

8 LOCAL TEACHERS TAKING
THE CONTINUATION COURSE

Three teachers have been sent by
the local supervisor of schools to
take the continuation school course
at New Brunswick. Ms Anna La
Rue and Miss Myrtle Warren will
have charge of the girls coming un-
der this class in the fall and Rufus
Allen will take the boys. As was
laid down by the state laws at the
beginning of this year, every en-
ployed boy and girl, under the age
of sixteen. is required to spend six
hours a week in a local continua-
ton school, taking both academic
hours must be spent in school be-
tween O'Clock in the morning ana
5 O'Clock in the afternoon, which,
because of the great lack OF space
in the school buildings at the pre-
sent time. presents serious prob
lem to the school authorities here.
At the present time, there is not
enough room for the regular schooi
children, and the placing or the
continuation school pupils mas YET
to be planned.
This school is an entirely new in
stitution in this state and entails
much to perfect. Every factory
owner in the city, must notify the
superintendent of the number OF
eligible employees in his plant. the
question of out of town workers
in the city must be considered, the
necessity of arranging the school
hours during the day and having
the pupils excused from their
work and the providing of the space
which the law requires, are only
a few of the problems which the
local authorities must solve

BOLD IMAM IN WOODS"
ATTACKS SO. RIVER GIRL

NEW BRUNSWICK, July II. =
Numerous reports have come in to
the police of South River that
women and young girls, who for the
past few weeks have been out IN
the woods about that place picking
berries, have been insulted and an
noyed by a man. The affair came TO
a head yesterday when Braven
Martin. living on the road from Tan
ners Corner to Old Bridge. reported
TO Chief of Police Eberwein of South
River that two young girls. whose
ages are eleven and thirteen, and who
are relatives of his, went berrying IN
.he woods back of his place and
were attacked by a burly. foreign
looking man who leaped from hiding
among the underbrush and bodily
picked up the younger girl and
started off through the woods with
her. The older girl screamed and
the man turned and threatened her
with a revolver. Failing to silence
her by this means he became
frightened. dropped the younger girl,
and disappeared in the woods. The
girls clothing was torn and she was
badly frightened. but otherwise un-
injured.
Upon investigating the case the
police found that there have been
numerous cases where apparently
this same man has frightened berry
pickers in their walks through the
woods. A man is under suspicion
and developments are expected today.

HOT BOX COMPELS
TRAIN TO STOP

A hot box which developed at
Matawan on the engine of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey pas
senger train due at the Central sta
tion here this morning at 1852 made
it impossible for the company to run
the train. The passengers were pick
ed up by one of the morning express
trains and carried to the city.
Because the engine left the rails
in Jersey City last night, the South
Amboy local on the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, due here at 1927 did
not make the run. The passengers
ere carried on the Point Pleasant
express. The 1927 is known as a
short line train going to South
Amboy and then returning to Jersey
City arriving here on its return run
at 7:40 o'clock. Passengers going
to New York and waiting at the To-
cal station for the train were picked
up by the 8:16 mail train which does
not usually stop here.

POLICE CHECK
NETUCHEN BUS
Trouble Between Rosenvinqe
and Local Authorities
Causes Hampering Service.

The bus service between this city
and Metuchen has been greatly
hampered by trouble that has arisen
this morning between Otto p. Ro-
senvinge, proprietor of Pete's Bus
Line, and the local authorities.
When four of Pete's busses were de-
stroyed in a fire at his garage in
Metuchen about two weeks ago, he
found it necessary to discontinue
service between Metuchen and New
Brunswick and. only continue the
run from Perth Amboy to Metu-
chen with his two remaining busses.
Several of the busses that run to
other towns were put on the Metu-
chen run and because their bonds
were not filed in the borough, Me-
tuchen authorities prevented them
from coming into the town, The To-
cal-police prevented Pete's -busses
from entering this city about 8
o'clock this morning because, ac-
cording to Rosenvinge's side, the
other buses had been prevented
from entering Metuchen and the
local authorities throw all the blame
on him.
The other side of the story is
given out by Alderman Waters as a
failure on Pete's part to go into CO.
operation with the Anthony Bus
Line on a New Brunswick run.
Rosenvinge states that no such
combination was expected. The To-
cal authorities claim that the out
side buses had a right to enter
Metuchen as their bonds are good
anywhere in the state. The reason
for Chief of Police Hutchinson
stopping the outside busses was be-
cause the borough wanted a bond
filed there for protection.
At present none of Pete's buses
are running between here and Metu-
chen and unless the matter is
Strengthened shortly it may develop
into a deadlock.

SWIFT JUSTICE
IN JANNY CASE
That is Promise of Prosecutor
HetfieId Who is Pushing
Murder Case to a Finish.
TO SEE N. Y. GOVERNOR
Attorney Generals, of Both
States to be Present at
Session.
TO SEE N. Y. GOVERNOR

Prosecutor Walter L. Hetfield, of
Union county, who will hold a con-
ference with Governor Smith at AL
bany next Wednesday on the pro-
posed immediate release of Charles
Perchand, now in Sing Sing and
Harold v. Lamble in Auburn, who
are charged with being the muraer-
ers of Arthur l.. Kupfer and Miss
Edith fanny, both of Perth Amboy,
on the night of August 22, 1918, said
yesterday that when the two men
are brought to Elizabeth for trial he
will make an example of swift
Jersey justice" in the case.
At the conference on Wednesday
there will also be the attorney gen.
erals of both New York and New
Jersey. When Prosecutor Hetfield
goes to Albany on that day he will
confession and the finger print evil
dence which is said to have caused
Perchand to make the confession of
all the details of the murder.
In hunting for a solution to the
double murder mystery John A.
Galatian, the chief of the Union
county detectives, spent weeks as
sociating with crooks in New York's
underworld as it had been rumored
that both Perchand and Lamble had
been boasting of their escape after
the murder without arousing the
slightest suspicion to themselves"
1t is said that Detective Galatian
met a woman, reported to have been
wronged by the two alleged murder
ers. who was desirous of securing
revenge. Finally he located the
woman, the prosecutor said, and
she gave him full information about
the men.
Perchand, he learned, had been
sentenced to Auburn January 3,
1919, by Judge Rosalsky to serve six
years and eight months for carry
ing concealed weapons. Lamble
was sentenced to Auburn January
23, 1920, by Judge Mulqueen to
six years and four months for the
alleged theft of an automobile.
Conferring with State Prison Su-
perintendent Rattigan, Detective
CALLAHAN arranged for the transfer
of Perchand to Sing Sing. There
he laid before him the finger print
evidence obtained from the automo-
bile in which the murdered couple
were riding, and a statement he
obtained from the woman. In the
face of this evidence, it was said,
Perchand broke down. Journeying
then to Auburn, the detective said
he confronted Lamble with the evil
dence and obtained a similar con-
fession. Later. he said. Lamble
wrote him denying that he fired
any shots and laying the actual kill
ing on Perchand.
The comparison of the finger
prints taken from the car with those
of the prisoners was not made. at
the penitentiary. but by John
Swartz, a finger print expert in the
Newark Police Department.
