SELF
WHEN ATTACKED
William Cutter of Woodbridge
in Hospital --Robbers Were
Frightened Away

Following an attack by two men
in the doorway of his home in Spa
Spring Lane near the city line
William Cutter, seventy-five years
old, was admitted to. the City Hospi-
tai last night at $50 o'clock suffer-
ing from an accidentally self infict-
ed wound in his left shoulder. The
wound was the result of his firing
his revolver over his shoulder in an
effort to ward off the attack. Cut
ter's condition is thought to be criti-
cal although his condition will not
be definitely known until an N-ray
photograph has been taken to locate
the bullet lodged in his body.
According to the report on the In
cident made by officer William
Clooney, who was detailed to inves-
tigate the affair after Cutter ap-
peared at the police station here
and notified Desk Lieutenant John
Morris of the attack made upon
him, two men appeared at Cutters
home yesterday afternoon and want
ed to buy fire wood. they saiG. Cut
ter says he informed the men that
he had no wood for sale and told
them to go to Hampton Cutter, his
cousin.
About o'clock last night. Clooney
found, Cutter heard a knock at his
door. He asked who was there and
receiving no reply opened the door.
He was Immediately attacked. he
said, by two men whom he thought
were the same men who appeared
earlier in the day. Mr.. Cutter had
stepped out on the doorstep and was
assailed from behind. In the course
of the ensuing fracas, in which Cut
ter put up a strenuous resistance, he
drew a revolver from his pocket and
fired three shots over his shoulder at
one of the men. He shot too low
and one of the bullets struck him in
the shoulder.
Following the shots the asseilants
knocked their victim down, took his
gun away from him and disappear
ed. Cutter then made his way to
the police station here. Chauffeur
Clooney took him to DIR. John G.
Wilson for treatment and then to
the City Hospital.
The two men making the assault
on Mr.. Cutter are described as be-
tween nineteen and twenty-one
years old. One is stockily built and
the other is slim. according to Cut
ter.
The victim of the attack lived
alone in his house on Spa Spring
lane. He was for many years resi-
dent of Woodbridge but some time
ago he sold his place there and
moved to the Spa Spring residence
which is partially in Perth Amboy
and partially in Woodbridge.
1t was also found that in their
haste to depart after the firing of
the shots by Mr.. Cutter the two men
forgot to carry out their intent TO
rob. Cutter had a small sum of
money in his clothing at the time
of the assault but he was not search
ed even after the men had choked
him and thrown him to the ground,
taking his gun at the same time.

Property owners to Meet

Between forty and fifty people.
property owners on Smith and state
streets are expected to attend the
meeting in the Chamber of Com
merce tonight, which has been call
ed hy the president, Isaac Alpern.
for a general discussion of the tax
situation as brought about by the
charges made to the State Board OF
Taxation b Union county, that Mid
dlesex county property is under as
sessed. 1t is expected that this meet
ing tonight will lead to a general
mass meeting of ali the tax payers
in the city which will be held in the
high school auditorium or some
other hall some night next week.
Indications. at this time are that
the officials of Union county when
making the charge that Middlesex
county's valuations were too low. did
not al ticipate the opposition that
has arisen in this county, nor the
fight tat the agriculture interests
manufacturing interests, merchants
and general property holders would
make.
The general opinion of those in
terested seems to be that if there is
to be any action taken on the taxa
ton situation, it should be a equali-
zation of taxes throughout the state.
The committees which were appoint
ed at the meeting in the Chamber of
Commerce here on Tuesday night
are at work preparing the necessary
data that will be submitted TO the
State Board of Taxation and indica-
tions are that this will be so COM
plete that no question can arise con-
cerning it.

Push Negotiations.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2 (By The
Associated Press) Negotiations
over the naval program. according
to the feeling in American arms
conference circles today, are pro-
ceeding satisfactorily
The four American delegates
meeting today went over the Etua-
tion as it stands. Afterward II was
said that the Americans were well
satisfied with the turns that the ma
val discussions were taking and
were hopeful lat the American
limitation program would be re-
ceived favorably. A more definite
status, however, was said to be i'm
probable before next week.
To what extent the discussion
over the naval ratio and the politi-
cal problems of the Far East may
become intertwined became sub
iect OF increasing speculation today
as the two negotiations developed
simultaneously toward the point OF
important decision.
Hope for an early settlement of
the dispute arising from Japan's re-
quest for an increase from 60 to 10
per cent. in the capital ship tonnage
allotted her under the American
limitation plan, centered today in
efforts of Great Britain to bring the
Japanese views into harmony with
those of the United States.
While precisely in what manner
Great Britain has undertaken TO use
her influence in solving the naval
ratio problems was not known today
but as an ally of Japan, and having
on the other hand accepted in prin-
ciple the basic 5-5-3 ratio OF the
American proposal. she has found a
double interest in the ultimate sue
cess of negotiations.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. e.
On account of the increased de-
mands on The county treasury for
the care of tubercular patients and
widowed mothers who strive to prop
erly care for the children, the free-
holders have discovered that the
budget item for $4,000 set aside for
that purpose for 1921, will not be
sufficient.
At the meeting of the board yes
terday it was estimated that an ad-
ditional $4,000 will be required be-
fore the end of the year to care for
the demands.
This amount was authorized to be
raised on short term notes to mature
in 1928, at which time the matter
will be cared for in the annual bud
get.
Surrogate Daniel w. Clayton ap-
peared before the board and made
the request that the freeholders pro-
vide for additional requirements In

At the present time according 10

the rush of business during the past
few months having been so great.
While Mr.. Clayton's request was
merely for one more book, type
writer and an operator, he expressed
himself as being unwilling to incur
the additional expense without first
consulting the freeholders.
That body took the matter under
fdvisement and will probably grant
the request. Director William s
Dey freely indicated that the atti-
.tude on the part of Mr.. Clayton was
a good thing for the taxpayers OF
the county and appreciated by the
board, as the usual practice in the
past has been that department
heads spent the money allotted to
them without consulting the free
holders.
In a letter from the State High
way Commission the freeholder:
were informed of the remarkable
response made by the counties OF
the state in reference to the build
ing of state reads under the reim'
bursement act.
Indications of an exceptionally
large state road building program
for 1922 is predicted under the
plan; the several counties defray

work, for which the highway com
mission will reimburse during the
