NARROW ESCAPE FOR GIRL
AT GRADE CROSSING

A young girl, probably a high
school student, had a narrow escape
from death or serious injury at $3.50
o'clock this morning when she fell
in the path of the Central Railroad
train due at the local passenger sta
ton at S:32 o'clock, as she attempt
ed to cross the tracks a New Bruins
wick avenue, after the gates had
been lowered.
The gates had been lowered for
some minutes and the train had al
ready passed Washington street,
when the girl accompanied by sew
eral other scholars rode up on her
bicycle. Instead of waiting for the
train to pass, the girl picked UP the
wheel and walking around the low
cred gate started to o the tracks.
AS she attempted to the track
on which the train was coming the
peddle of the bicycle caught in the
rail and she fell between the rails.
The girl retained her presence of
mind and as her friends screamed,
managed to get up from her dan
gerous position and pull herself and
the bicycle to safety. She only
cleared the locomotive by a few
inches. Her books and school pap
ers were scattered about the track.
Due to the fact hat the train was
to stop at the local station, the en-
gineer had it under control aud was
running somewhat slowly, probab-
ly accounts for the fact that the
girl was able to continue to school
after willing hands had gathered to-
gether the books and papers she
had dropped.
An Evening News reporter tried
to obtain the girls name, but she
refused to tell who she was. She
seemed to be much more composed
after the incident was over than her
companions, one of whom said to
her:
Gee! Gladys, I'm shaking yet"
The train came to a stop and then
proceeded on its way.

Miss Margaret tombstone, secre-
tary of the Mercer County Health
League, spoke at length IN the Ro-
tary Island where the poor and unfit
children are given home care. She
advocated the building of a large
dormitory at the Menlo Park site, a
central playhouse and other dwell
ings. The speaker told how the
buildings at the Rotary Island were
built and recommended a similar
course. She said that the various
unions were interested in the pro-
ject, such as carpenters, masons,
builders and the like and hat men
from those unions came to spend
their week end and constructed the
buildings. In four week ends sew
eral dwellings were erected. Miss
tombstone said The material was the
onlv cost, the speaker added.
And after you have the build
ings do not take it for granted that
the poor and i'll fed children are sat
lsfied with Just an institution. You
must love them-you must love
them individually and create happi-
ness in and among them" Miss
tombstone said in conclusion.
Following Miss Joh%nstone's talk
Jonn W. OlSen, a Qelegate TO the
meeting from the Perth Amhoy
Scouts, asked Chairman Silk whether
1t is the plan to have a camp out of
the park or a place for the sick and
Door. DIR. Silk responded that it was
moi merely for the sick but for all
he children of the county. 1t would
be a community affair, DIR. Silk add
ed. Replying to Mr.. Olsen's remarks
DIR. Silk said that it was not the aim
of the Middlesex County Anti-Tuber-
culosis League to "own the whole
works" and that the scouts could
have a part of it as we'll.
You are laboring under the wrong
impression if you think this thing
IS sponsored by the tEbercular or
SANITATION for their purpose" Mr..
Olsen said. Il thought when l came
here that we were to discuss a play
ground and recreation centre" the
speaker said. He advised to call the
new organization the Welfare
League as the freeholders would be
in trouble again with Metuchen
should the citizens of that place find
out that it was given for tubercular
children.
Mr.. Olsen also attacked a previous
statement about expenditures. He
said that $4,000 was available for
boys and girls to be sent to camps,
Tut no children could be found that

ATTACK LAUNCHED ON
KHAN INCORPORATION

TRENTON, Oct. II: An attack was
yesterday launched against the in
corporation of the Ku Klux Khan in
this state by William j. McFadden, a
lawyer of Newark. McFadden COM
planned to Secretary of State Thorn
as r. Martin that the Incorporation
of the Khan, which was effected a
week ago, was illegal.
McFadden asked that Attorney
General Thomas r. McCran pass up
on the legality of the corporation.
The lawyer declared that a char
ter should have been refused the
Khan as an association not for pecu-
mary profit, because it discriminates
against a race which forms a large
part of the nations citizenship.
McFadden said that the giving of
a charter of incorporation to the
white-hooded band was in contra
vention of public policy.

how the park would be built up and

consent to donate the land. He
pointed to expenditures of boys from

representing, will not go on record
favoring it. We want a recreation
place for all the children Mr.. Olsen
added.
In reply to Mr.. Olsen's heated re-
marks Dir. Silk said that 1t was the
idea of the t%ubercular organization
and that this meeting was called by
the Middlesex County Recreational
Council, which was effected last
spring.
Mr.. Olseh's remarks we're attacked
by DR.. English, who said that the
talk against the tubercular was en-
tirely exaggerated. He called Mr..
Olsen's attack unfounded and spoke
on the good work of the anti-tuber-
culosis organization.
Dcy EaVors Plan
Director William S. Dey said that
the freeholders were ready to build
Il tuberculosis hospital TO cost in the
vicinity of $50. 900, but that the real
estate operators in Metuchen pro-
tested and won the State Board of
Health decision. He favored the plan
for a county park and recreation
place for all the children of the
county. He said that the site has
357 acres and not 208 acres as it was
generally understood. lie recon-
mended the appointment of a per-
manent committee to come before
the freeholders and ask for the site.
He said also that thesbuildings and
upkeep could be had through a drive
for funds.
Here DR.. English again attacked
Mr.. Olsen's remarks in connection
with the tuberculosis children and in
spite of his age gave an eloquent
talk on the medical profession TAX
ing an interest in the prevention oil
disease.
a. A. Finkelstein, secretary of the
Y. M. IL. A. of Perth Amboy, said
the need of such a park was evident
particularly during summer months
wheE children are not at school. He
said that such a place If properly
supervised would do much to elevate
the boys and girls of poorer class
He urged less dickering and more
action.

agreement was reached to have DIR

neau. Both these lines have given
satisfaction since they first began
operating. The request of a Will
liam Rosenvinge of Perth Amboy to
operate a bus line between the bor-
ough and Perth Amboy was referred
to the street committee.
Mayor Smith stated that he had
conferred with the Board of Free
holders regarding the board taking
over First street and returning Sec
ond street to the borough. After
viewing the matter from all sides,
the council made two resolutions,
since the freeholders favor the plan
of taking over First street, the first,
that the council request the Board
of Freeholders to make a county
street of Broad street at the cor
e of Front, to First street to the
borough limits.
The second resolution asked the
return of Second street to the Dor
ough, including that section of the
street from the borough limits to
Church street and Church street t.
Front, Front to the corner of Broad
and Front streets.
T. w. Snyder was present inc
stated that Snyder street being only
twenty-five feet wide, he had I'M
derstood that the borough would
take six feet for sidewalks, and he
declared this would make the street
too narrow. Mr.. Snyder stated that
he thought the property owners
along the street would be asked by
the board to donate a small piece of
property to be used as a sidewalk.
Mr.. Snyder was informed hat the
property owners had been requested
to do so several occasions but that
they were not agreeable to the plan,
as no property had been donated for
this purpose.
The council voted to take a por-
ton of the Joseph Dougherty prop
erty on the corner of Spring street
and Snyder street, to widen the cor
ner and to pay Mr.. Dougherty the
sun of 5000 for the same.
The building committee reported
that a new permit had been granted
to the service station now being
erected at the corner of Broad street
and Maple Place, and the council
went on record unanimously against
the building of any over head tank
and Mr.. Vert was so instructed.
