children partook of the milk at
school No. ., while 500 received their
portion at school No. l.
Long before the time for the dis
tribution to begin, the children be-
gan to gather outside the school
buildings and by the time the milk
arrived several hundred children
were waiting about the grounds of
school No. for the first cupful to
be passed out. Mr.. Leon was pres
ent himself when the distribution be
gan at school No. . and gave a smil
ing little girl the first cupful of milk.

ed as if they had never tasted milk
before and all were anxious to gel
cupful. AS each child was served
they would go to different places or
the school grounds TO enjoy theil
drink. Some used straws an6
| sucked the milk from the cups
through these while others found
this method too slow and drank as
fast as they could.
Many of the mothers geathered
nearby to see their little ones obtair
the milk, and all were glad the chill
dren had been given this opportun.
ity to enjoy a cooling healthfu
drink.
The cans of milk, which was the
best obtainable from the Puritan

could almost see the cream bubble
out of 1t. The milk is kept cool by
being packed in ice. 1t is served in
paper cups, each child receiving one
half pint. Some received a double
portion before the supply ran out
The milk will be served every

TRAIN COMING TO THIS
CITY DELAYED AN HOUR

When the Pennsylvania train due
here at 1924 o'clock today from
New York was a few miles out side
of Railway, a draw head pulled out
from one of the cars and the train
came to a stand still. The draw
head is said to have dragged along
the track for a considerable distance
badly cutting the ties. Had the
draw head dropped on the rail in
stead of the ties it is likely the
train would have been thrown from
the track. When the draw head
pulled out the front half of the train
continued on its way while the rear
end came to a stand still. After
waiting for some time, another
engine was obtained and pushed the
train to Railway where the broken
down car was placed on a side track
and the train again connected. The
mishap delayed the train for a
period of one hour. 1t arrived here
about 11:24 o'clock.

POLICE MUST
WAIT FOR MAN
William Mccarthy, Wanted
in PerImuter Case, to be
Tried in New York
PARTNER IS IN JAIL
Local Police Must Wait Out
come of Trial Before They
Can Act

William Mccarthy, alias Dineen,
wanted by the Perth Amboy police
in connection with the daylight as
sault upon Samuel Perlmuter in the
Perlmuter pawnshop in Smith street
on April 80 last. is to be tried in
New York on another charge and,
as result, the local authorities
were unable yesterday to bring the
man back to this county for trial.
Detective John Murray, who has
been working on the case ever since
the attempted robbery of the store
by two men who first assaulted PERL
muter by striking him over the head
with piece of pipe covered with a
newspaper, claims that Mccarthy
has been identified by Perlmuter as
the man who struck him. The
other man in the case, arrested
soon after the assault, was tried and
round guilty and is now serving a
six to twelve year sentence in states
prison. He gave the name of Joseph
Davis, of Newark.
Mccarthy disappeared Immediate
ly after the attempted daylight rob-
berry but was later apprehended in
New York on az assault charge,
having in his possession a piece OF
pipe wrapped in newspaper, the
same as was used in this city. AS
the New Y orlx police. at first did not
consider their case against Mccarthy
sufficiently strong to prove him
guilty, they were willing that the
man be extradited to New Jersey.
The necessary papers were made
out and everything was in readiness
TO bring Mccarthy back to New Jer-
sey, although it was understood he
would fight extradition on the
grounds that he was not the man
wanted by the Perth Amboy police.
The New York authorities, strength
ening their case against Mccarthy in
the meantime, decided to try him
and as a result Detective Murray,
who went to New York yesterday to
get the man, returned empty hand
ed.
If found guilty in New York, local
police will have to wait until Nc
Carthy serces his sentence in New
Carthy serves his sentence in New
brought to this state to stand trial
for the Smith street assault. If Nc
Carthy is acquitted the local police
will make another effort to get him
back in this state so that he might
be tried.
The case AGAINST Mccarthy, ac-
cording to the police, is as strong
as, If not stronger than, the case
against Davis who was found guilty
by jury in short order.
