Two Accidents, One Fatal,
Startled the Community This Afternoon
One killed grade building another injured Runaway
smaShps info auto and wrecks IT,

The entire community was horri-
fitd at about 4:30 when the news
came OF the instant death OF one
man ard injury OF another, bo;n
working at the new grade school
building.
Wayne Carlton, sen of Mr. and
Mrs. w. j. Carlton, living near.
Holly, and Frank Forbet Of Denver,
brick mason. were working on u
scaffold AT the front OF the new
school building. Just above them
coping OF cement blocks had been
recently laid the entire length OF
the building on top OF The wall
These blocks projected over the
front of the building and becoming
ton heavy were over balanced and
suddenly came pIunging down upon
the scSSoid and upon the workmen
Feeling the jar or perhaps hearing
the threatening rumble. one man
Frank Forbet, jumped and sustain
ed only broken ankle and bfuis
es. He was taken to the Trail Ho-
tel and DR.. Wilson summoned
The other man was crushed in
stantly by the tons OF cement
blocks falling on him and died i'm
mediately.
1t Is reported that the seaffolding
sustaining the projecting cornice'
had been removed before the
stones had been properly reinforc
ed in the rear. so as to hold back
the weight of the huge blacks. At
this time no official Investigation
has been made and the cause OF the
disaster is only conjecture.
It surely Is most ,egfetable siren
the work has been progressing so
smoothly and rapidly. The remains
of the dead man were taken up
by the Morich Furniture Co. and
taken to his home on the Pratt
place northwest of town. Mr.. For
bet was employed as mason and
Mr.. Carlton was his helper Appar-
emily no one witnessed the ae-
cident. The slain workman is pro,
tected by the state compensation

Coming to the Majestic.

Thurston. the famous magician,
wonder worker to the children and
a mystery to the grown-ups, brings
u new program of sensational fea-
lures to the Majestic theatre next
week Wednesday and Thursday,
Jan. IL and IL, matinee on Thurs
day only.
With each passing year Thurston
grows in popularity, and each visit
he makes shows new development
of original ideas and added dexteri-
ty. Among the younger theatrego-
ers one frequently hears stories abou
the mysteries of Hermann and the
great KelIar. These performances
are usually accompanied by an ex-
preston of regret that they had
never seen either of these two mas
ters. Thurston shows all that either
of the two names did, and then a
great deal in addition that is more
battling. He provides many new
novelties that are not only mystic
rious, but uncanny in character.
Several of them deal with life in the
afterworld, such as the manifesto
tons of spirits and the materializa-
ton of ghosts. Tickets will be on
sale tomorrow.

HOPELAWN

Agitation has been started here for
the extension of Florida Grove road
to the Raritan river. Old residents
OF Hnpelawn and Keasbey claim the
highway should extend to the t..E:-
and say that in recent years the clay
hanks have encroached upon the
right of way until it ends at Smith
street. The matter was recently
brought to the attention of George
Garrett. urveyor of highways. who
conducted an investigation and
found that the road should extend
to the river. The surveyor learned
that a new mar was fled at New
Brunswick in 1859, which cut off
Florida Grove road at Smith street,
The surveyor believes. however, that
the map was filed for the purpose
of misleading Hopelawn residents
and Hopelawn that tho at
fair will be taken up with the proper
authorities as Dor a possible. II
Is pointed out that the Florida Grove
road forms the only right of way to
The river for several miles along that
portion of its banks and HopelawI
residents refuse to be done out CT
their rights.
A truck belonging to Louis Horo-
witZ, of Hopelawn, was robbed of a
sack of flour and a bag of feed on

afternoon. John Parkell, the driver
Of the truck. was making q delivery
and while away from the machine
the two bags disappeared. A report
ps the incident was made to the po-
Ice department at Perth Amboy, but

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. Dbl
rector William S. Dey will announce
his appointments for the various
committees at the session of the
board of freeholders scheduled to be
held this afternoon. The reappoint-
ed director also is expected to make
his annual address to the board III
which he will offer recommendations
for the coming year..
It is also expected that the free
holders will take action on appor-
tionment of the county so that the
sealer of weights and measures can
cover one section. and his assist
ant, the other, so that this work can
be carried out in an efficient man
ner. Last year the Republicans tried
to GUST Nathan Robbins, who had
been carrying out the duties of seal
er, and to replace Joseph Fertig but
the tenure of office act prohibited
this actio... so Fertig was appointed
as assistant.
During tire past year monthly re-
ports show that Robbins has been
doing on an average of three times
as much work as his assistant.

Chief of Police Niels j. Tonnesen
this morning received n letter from
Richard f.. Enright, police commits
sioner of New York City, congrat-
ulating the department on the APP
pointment of a policewoman to the

gestions as to the duties coming un-
der the jurisdiction of a policewo-
man.

''Niels J. Tonnesen,
.Chief of Police, Perth Amboy.
Dear Sir--Allow me to c%ongratu-
late you upon your progressive pol
lev in having appointed a woman to

j am sure you will find her services
a splendid asset.
ut gives me great pleasure to
submit in outline form n few sug-
gestions regarding duties that fall
within a policewoman's jurisdiction.
every truly yours.
ORCHARD T.. ENRIGHT."
The outline of duties as submit
ted by the New York department
head gives theatres, dance halls,
skating Kinks, railway stations and
similar public places as coming I'M
der work assigned to the metropoli-
tan policewomen, also including
welfare work among girl offenders,
and finding places for girls out of
work. With reference to the uni
form proposition which is under
consideration by the chief and police
committee here, Commissioner En-
right says a badge is sufficient since
