WENT AFTER RABBITS,
BROUGHT FOX
A local gunning party that de
poned yesterday morning In search
of rabbits near Seidler's Beach
brought back a fox when they re
turned in the afternoon. The lucky
gunner was Hans Wurgier, of 173
New Brunswick avenue, and the
other hunters were Martin Oertel
and Albert French of Prospect
street.
Shortly after the start of the hunt
the men found the mangled remains
of a rabbit freshly killed. Rumors
had it that foxes had been seen in
that vicinity so the party decided
to hunt foyes instead of rabbits.
The dcgs were given the scent and
started off on a chase that kept
gunners and dogs on the Job for
four hours before the wily beast
was finally run out into the open
where the hunters had a shot ,
him.
The fox shot >-y Wurgier meas
ured 36 inches from nose !o tip and
weighed about eight and one-half
pounds. The animal was of the grey
variety. Wurgier is having his
prize mounted.

LECTURES WOMAN FOR TOO
LIBERAL HOSIERY DISPLAY
KNOXVILLE, Tenii., Dec. 13.— i
For the second time in a year Judge J
Von A. Huffaker yesterday repri- ;
liianded a woman witness in his
court for what he considered a too :
liberal display of silken hose. The ]
judge said the witness drew her j
skirts too high and then crossed her ]
legs in front of the judge and ju- j
ruts. V ton being reprimanded the
woman attempted a reply, but was
silenced b> the judge and retired
weeping.
Discussing the incident Judge
Huffaker said his respect for the ,
modesty of his mother and that of
other good women, compelled him :
to act as he did, and that no woman (
could come into las court and insult i
a man’s sense of modesty.
“Hhort dresses are no doubt to j
blame in large measure for the lack |
of modesty prevailing at this time,”

CLAIMS SCHOOL SYSTEM
IS NOW BEING BROKEN UP
TREXTOX, Dec. 14.—New Jer
sey's "thorough and efficient bjs- |
Lem of public schools is being broken |
up and abandoned," declares -Mrs.
Seymour Cromwell, a woman mem
ber of the State Board of Educa
tion and champion of state aid to
rural schools, in a statement dealing
with tho vexed question of school !i
nantes. "New Jersey is discrimina
ting against the country child,” she
says, and the "consideration of its
needs has degenerated into a discus- 1
sion of ratable* and unequal assess
ments.”
Mrs. Cromwell has gone on record
as favoring an increase of the state
millage tax for schools, so that the
less fortunate school districts maj’
be given more aid. Whether she
would favor the proposal of Hunter
don county school Superintendent
Jason Hoffman, who wants all state
school taxes pooled and distributed
on the basis of attendance and the
number of teachers, is not known,
mts plan has been criticised by Hud
son and Mercer county educators as
being unfair to the populous dis
tricts. where ratableg are high. On
this point, apparently, Mrs. Crom
well says that “if the rural counties
are not assuming their fair share of
this burden let us correct the evil.
We have the power to adjust the
matters and le us use, but let us use
it quickly.”

STOLE 4 IIS Of
Held in $500 Bail for Grand
Jury on Charge of Grand
Larceny
Harry Bardal, of 399 Wagner ave
nue, is held under hail of 3300 to
a wilt the action of the grand jury on
a charge oi grand larceny. He is al
leged to havs stolen four tons of coal
from the freight ears of the Lehigh
Valley- Railroad. Andrew Strika, a
milk dealer of 800 Valley place, was
also arraign-, h before Recorder Pick
ersgill charged with receiving the
coal but was dismissed owing to lack
of evidence to show that he knew
the fuel was stolen goods.
Bardal and Strike, were arrested
on Tuesday night by Detective Lieu
tenants Joseph Gutowski and Mich
ael Muska. who were notified by the
railroad authorities that coal nich
ing in considerable quantities was
going on. They were In-ought to
headquarters an 1 put under bonds
of 81,000 each for their appearance
this morning.
In court this morning Detective
KImer Donald of the Lehigh Valley
Company accused of taking the coal
from tlie fieight cars and later sell
ing fou- tens of it to Strika. While
no money changed hands, according
to the detective, tho coal was taken
n-sStrika in payment for a large milk
bill owed t y Bardal, The rate of
sale wi s 3 a ton.
Lieutenant Gvtcwski said Bardal
confessed to the theft when arrested,
maintaining that he took the coul to
sell in ord r to settle his milk bill.
This morning, however, Bardal de
nied stealing the coal and denied
makinr any confession to Gutowski.
He claimed he had the coal left frdin
last winter and said there was more
than he could use.
the coal In good frith and did nut
know it way stolen. He was releas
ed while I jar dal was held for the
grand jury.
The Lehigh Valley detectives said
that while tte specific charge against
the me t was the theft af four tons,
they had reason to believe that the
coal was taken in much larger quan
tities. In some oases, it was charg
ed, men hired small children to steal
the coal for them, paying them a few
cents a bag. It Is known that the
coal is later disposed of about the
city at prices several dollars below
the marke* price.

ANTI-WRECK DEVICE TRIED

SOT7TH AMBOY, Pec. 15.—A
demonstration is being given to (our

Control Company on the Itaritan
River Ralirrad between Parlin and
South River today. This system, it

A railroad making use of this in

five hundred fee and between each
track there is a high power magnet.
There is a’l electric contrivance
placed at the head of the engine,
and when there is another train or
handcar on the track In the next
block, contact of the contrivance
with a magnet results in the air
switch of the engine being automa
