who figured so prominently in the
capture of the negro, murderer,
now we'll over the one thousand dol
lar mark, the committee appointed
by Mayor Wilson to handle the
money has decided to close the sub

night. The money will then be pre-

was being raised.
The mayors committee held a
meeting at City Hall last night at
winch time 1t was decided to close
the fund as over $1,000 had now
been secured. 1t was also decided
to divide $1,000 evenly between
Oficer Mount of Keyport, who made
the arrest of the negro after receiv-

ductor Charles Hauser, and Mr..
Hauser. 1t was felt that as it was
Mr.. Hauser's keen observance that

HITS RAILROAD
MANAGEMENT
Say That Railroad Trouble is
Not Caused by the National
Agreement.

CHICAGO. March 2s.-The root
of the railroad difficulty is not a
national agreement but in the in
adequateness of management de-
clared w. Jett Lauck. consulting
economist of the railroad labor
organization, in beginning presenta-
ton of railroad labor exhibits be-
fore the United States Railroad La
Dor Board today.
"Conservatively stated If railroad
management was characterized by
reasonable efficiency and had avail
able for its use a proper amount OF
capital or credit, labor costs would
have shown a radical decline on the
national agreement" Mr.. Lauck de-
clared. A savings in operation ex-
penses of one billion dollars would
be made annually or almost $1,000
900 a day. We shall demonstrate
this fact by reports and analysis
which we have had prepared by rep
utable railroad engineers and ex-
perts.
The United States railroad labor
board today declined TO admit the
national and industrial traffic league
to the rules case now before the
board. Hearing of the petitioners
would not be helpful and not in the
public interests" said the board.
The decision argued that to admit
this organization as party contest
ant would result in opening the gate
to dozens of similar bodies and per-
haps prolong the hearings for a
wear

BOILER ExPtODES AT
Y. M. H. A.; man HURT

August Larsen, forty-five years old,
of 126 South First street, was cut
about the head and face at $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when a
gas heater he was lighting in the
cellar of the Y. NJ. H. A. building
exploded. A cut in the left side of
his face three inches long was dress
ed by DIR. Martin S. Meinzer.
AS some of the boys of the Y. NJ.
H. A. desired to take a shower bath.
Larsen, who is janitor of the build
ing went into the cellar to light the
gas water heater. When Larsen ap-
piled the match, the heater explod-
ed with loud roar that was heard
for a block distant.
The force of the explosion threw
Larsen against the wall. knocking
him unconscious and throwing the
broken iron from the heater in all
directions. 1t is thought that a
piece of the flying iron struck Lar
sens face. The heater was COM
pletely wrecked. plaster was knocked
from the ceiiing and walls of the cell
lar and considerable plaster fell
from the walls in the various rooms
of the building.
People along Smith street and in
Smith street stores near the build
ing came rushing out and when the
explosion had been located, Larsen
was found crawling out of the cell
lar. He is able to be about the build
ing today but is badly bruised.

the remainder of the amount, which
fr.sm present appearances will be
slightly over $500.
Owing to the nature of the crime
il was decided to have no display in

The exact time for presenting the
money has not been fixed, but it will
probably take place at a meeting of

at the regular meeting Monday

that every individual owes to So

his responsibility and he did his duty
as citizen by reporting such sus-

two final rungs in the ladder lead

by Justice James j. Bergen in the
Supreme Court here after they had
been convicted of first degree mur-
der. The final step will be taken
during the week of May 3,
Knight. Fitzsimmons and a Nor
ris Weiss were taken to Trenton
yesterday by Warden Alfred Puer-
schner, and two officers of the Jail.
Charles Blew and Harry Kahrs.
The trip to Trenton was made by
automobile. leaving here about
1890 o'clock and arriving in Tren-
ton at 2 o'clock and the guards ex-
perienced no trouble at all. The
movement of the men was kept a
secret and a number of New Bruins
wick people gathered at the railroad
station, only to be disappointed.
Weiss was sentenced last week to
serve from five to ten years in
states prison for forgery, and issu-
ing checks without having suffi-
cient funds. He and Knight showed
no effect of the change. but Fitz-
simmons seemed to recognize his
position after being locked IN the
prison.
The coolness of Knight and Fitz-
simmons while they were being tried
for murder and after their verdicts
had been returned. was the gossip
of this section. 1t was. however. in
timated that the men would soon
realize their position. and the re.
port from Trenton gives the belief
that Fitzsimmons has already begun
to regret the wrong done. Knight
may never learn to regret. although

his life, will be one of sorrow to him.
