LEGISLATION, LARSON SAYS

METUCHEN, Nov. 20:-Speaking
at the dinner and meeting of the
State Freeholders Association at the
Lincoln Inn yesterday afternoon Sem
ator Morgan +. Larson in his re-
marks pointed out that there was too
much mandatory legislation on the
statute books of the state, thus prac-
tically tying the hands Of the free
holders in their efforts to serve their
counties. The speaker believed that
the constitution did not intend to
burden the freeholders with the ex-
cess mandate laws and indicating TO
the many handicaps under which the
freeholders are working.
General routine business was
transacted and the next meeting OF
the state freeholders will be held at
Trenton December 10. The boards
of each county were urged to have
their legislative officials in attend
ance. The list of speakers at yester-
days session included Freeholder
Roberts Of Bergen county, Senator
elect Borden of Burlington county,
Assemblyman Powell and Assembly
man Thomas L. Hanson of Perth
Amboy.
The Middlesex county board was
represented at the meeting by Free
holders Vandenbergh, Haight, Quak-
enbush. Belloff, County Treasurer

was the place favored by the ma
5ori+y of the representatives for the

eral historical pageants and probably
the unwilling of a monument. Somt

chat a series of local celebrations
marking the battles of Princeton
trenton and Monmouth and othel
events in which New Jersey mer
took an active part would be more
appropriate.

ernor of the New Jersey Society, Or
der of the Founders and Patrons OF

Governor Silzer, empowering him to

SLASHED WITH A KNIFE

NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-The body
of Irving Pickelny, four and half
years old, who was kidnapped from
in front of his Grant street home
October 26, today was found, slashed
with a knife, in the cellar of SUI
folk street tenement house.
The manned body was found by
two gas company employees who went
TO the cellar to repair a leaky pipe.
When their torches cast light on a
huddled body in a soap-hox they
thought it was wax figure discard
ed by the tailor who occupies the
store above. Closer examination,
however, revealed it to be that OF
child.
Police were summoned and soon a
crowd choked the narrow street
which Is lined with tenements typical
of all of New Yorks East Side In
spector Coughlin then identified the
child from It's clothing. Samuel Pic
kelny, the boys father, was prevent
ed from viewing the body by police
men and was led away crying hys-
terically.
The body then was taken to the
morgue for an examination by Med
ical Examiner Norris.
The murder of the child, Inspector
| Coughlin said, evidently was com
mitted by a degenerate of the lowest
type.
The inspector recalled similar
cases that created sensations on the
East Side. In 1915 within a period
of two months Anna Cohen. four
years old and Charles Murray, five
were murdered in a manner similar
to that of the Pickelny child. Their
bodies were found slashed with
knives, under stairways in their tene-
ment home.
