TRAINS
SPEEDING Up
Complaint Made to PennsyI-
vania Railroad About Ig-
noring Is Mile Limit

Following evidence that the Penn
Sylvania railroad is not living up to
the instructions of the Public Utility
Commission to run its trains through
Perth Amboy at a reduced speed,
City Attorney Leo Goldberger has
notified the company that unless the
speed of certain express trains is cut
down considerably he will report the
matter to the utility commission.
Mr.. Goldberger said that he had
particular reference to the express
train passing through the city at
$3.50 each night, it's first stop being
Red Bank. Notwithstanding the or
der of the Public Utility Commission
that trains should be run at a speed
not greater than fifteen miles an
hour, Mr.. Goldberger, who COM
mutes to his summer home along
the shore, has been at the station
several times when the express has
passed through. He says that on
some occasions the train has trav-
eled so fast that he could not get
the number of the locomotive. We'd
nesday night Attorney Goldberger
stated. he succeeded in reading the
number as the train passed through
and then notified the railroad that
such action must be stopped.
FROM an tHNcSli6dliOH sCohuu|eSN
by the city attorney it is found that
while the Central Railroad has
obeyed the instructions of the Public
Utility Commission, the Pennsylva-
MIA is a persistent offender and is
almost continually violating the fif-
teen mile an hour rule.
Several near accidents have been
observed by Mr.. Goldberger at the
Smith street crossing lately. Since
the gates have been lowered while
the trains were some distance Off
and coming slowly, some people, 1t
is said, have contracted the habit of
ducking beneath the gates and pro-
ceedine across the tracks. An in
stance of this is pointed out by Mr..
Goldberger, who was standing at the
crossing on Wednesday night when
the Pennsylvania express passed
through at such an excessive speed.
A man approached the gates just
lowered into position and thinking
the train was moving fifteen miles
an hour and that it was still some
distance away, stepped under the
gates and crossed the track. being
narrowly missed by the express.

STATE TROOPS WITHDRAWN
FROM GUARD ABOUT JAIL
IBy The Associated Press.l

BARNSTABLE, Mass, Aug. 2O:-
The last of the state troops called
ont to guard the county Jail where
three negroes are confined were
withdrawn today. One hundred
members of national guard regi-
ment w re sent here late last night
with machine guns after receipt of
reports that negroes were organizing
at Onset in preparations for an at
tempt to free the prisoners. Twenty
guardsmen remained on duty during
the night.
The three negroes are awaiting
trial on charges of highway robbery
and assault on a white woman.
The night passed without incident
at the county Jail where yesterday a
mob threatened to seize and lynch
three negroes. Further demonstra-
tions were considered unlikely by
Sheriff Irving Rosenthal.
