v. G. Mulliner. South Bound Brook

V. &C. Mulliner South Bound Brook
was forced to speed up, while cross
ing the New Brunswick avenue cross
ing of the Central Railroad early
last night, to avoid being hit by an
approaching train, according to re-
ports at police headquarters today.
Mulliner's report to Lieutenant Jen-
sen shortly after the accident, was
to the effect that the watchman drop
ped the gates when his machine was
five feet away from the same. Chief
Niels J. Tonnesen this morning noti-
fed Section Foreman Stonaker of
the new occurrence, and a conference
will probably be held later in the
day.
The South Bound Brook man was
travelling west on New Brunswick
avenue at 6:15 P. NJ, according to his
report to Lieutenant Jensen. The
northwest gate was broken when
Mulliner drove his car through same
to get off the track. Patrolman Mich
ael Burke received a report of the
accident from Traffic Officer Frank
Gunkel, who was coming from sup
per and witnessed the accident. Ac-
cording to Burke's report Mulliner's
car was blocked between the gates,
and sred to safety. breaking the
northwest gate.
The gate-tender claimed that he
got the west gates down and was let
ting the east gates down when the
driver CT the automobile went
through.
Early Sunday morning Officer
William Clooney and Detective Mich
sael Muska in the police car, mar
rowly escaped being hit on the Mar
ket street crossing by an approach
ing train, due to the failure of the
gate tender to put the gates down in
time. An investigation by the Off
GERS revealed that the gate tender
had apparently been sleeping, and
William Stonaker, the railroad Sec
ton foreman, after a &C 1ference
with Chief Tonnesen on Sunday,
agreed to secure new man for the
crossing.
A short time ago DR.. William Nc
Cormick's automobile was damaged
when the gate tender at the Market
street crossing, dropped the gates
on the fore part of his car, and
several weeks ago the lives of nine
firemen were taken in an accident
at the Market street choosing.
Chief Directs Care BE Taken.
Chief Tonnesen asks the co-opera-
ton of pedestrians and persons pass
ing the crossings in vehicles, in an
effort to prevent further accidents.
The chief states that vehicles should
slow down considerably upon ap-
preaching crossings, for their own
safety, and pedestrians should not
go under the lowered gates, but
wait until the train has passed and
the gates have been lifted

Declaring that the present period
of Industrial depression and the great
wave of social crime which have been
sweeping the country have also been
accompanied by an increase Of what
Is commonly called commercial crime,
G. D. West, manager of the investiga-
tion and prosecution department
National Association Of Credit Men,
exposed some of the schemes devised
to defraud creditors.
sWhile the numerous forms Of social
crime are we'll known to the public,
the workings of the commercial
criminals are not familiar to most
persons" said Mr.. West.
1.-THE latter class deal principally
with fraudulent bankruptcies, the
mulcting OF creditors and often, even,
the running of honest merchants, as
we'll as the defeating of the workings
Of the law.

Then is the anticipated time for the
fraudulent bankruptcy or other
scheme.
There are a great many ways in
which these criminals operate. In
bankruptcy frauds the most common
methods of beating the law are the
concealment Of assets, transfer Of
stock with the aid Of false burglary
or fire and the dishonest claims OF
debts, contracted and paid, usually

the secretary Of several public officials.
When he was fourth assistant post
master general he was called to do
some shorthand work for President
Cleveland, who held on to him and
made him executive clerk. President
Mckinley made him assistant seere-
tary and then appointed him secretary.
President Roosevelt made him his priv
ate secretary.
CortelyOu made a most efficient sec
retary. A man of suave and graceful
manner and gifted with exceptional
tact, he was born diplomat. It is
said OF him that he never refused
anybody anything. Someone once
called him ''the great American prom

him was total stranger, he would
listen politely, write special on the
persons card and indicate that the
matter should receive immediate at
tention.
Anyway, Roosevelt liked him well
enough to make him member of the
cabinet, where he filed three places
In quick succession: Secretary of COM

and secretary of the treasury. Later,
