Sayreville, Hay R: — George Franz, who was recently released

from the county jail on a charge of forgery, which he was alleged to

have committed a few months ago In

South River, was arrested by Officer Boyler on Monday In the steam

shovel at the old Kohlhupp brick

yard. The police have been looking for him since last Friday, on which day he stole $5 from Mrs. Josephine Leliowskl, the outcher on Albert's

hill. She had given him his dinner and

while he was eating, she was called In the store to wait on a customer.

When she came back to the. kitchen Franz was gone, and also $6 out of her pocketbook On Monday morning John Orimmlns, who has

charge of the Kohlhupp Brick com- pany, found that the steam shovel had been broken open and found Franz asleep inside. Ha sent for

Boyler and held Franz there until he came. On examining tlie shovel

they found one fifty foot steel tape measure, one rule and a lantern. These things were Identified by working men employed by Carl Els, a contractor, who was working at

Furman's brick yard, where it was

found that the tool house had been broken open. William Deutsch, one of the witnesses examined before Recorder Ksser, testified that the overalls that Franz had on in the court room was his and said he knew them by the reef In the legs.

Franz had given the butcher a

two dollar bill and a one dollar bill In the fore part of the evening and asked him to press his charge, and admitted to the recorder that, he had stolen the $5 out of Mrs. Leltowskl's

pocket book, but says that he did not burglarize Furman's tool house or break the door of the steam shov- el at Kohlhupps. lie says that the steam shovel door was open and all the things found was In there when he got there and that he only slept there one night. When asked by the recorder about the blankets he said they were also there. The recorder said as there was

three charges against, him he would hold him under $600 bond in each

charge in default of which he would go to the county jail to await the action of the grand Jury. The re-

corder committed him io jail and Constable John Keegan took him to New Brunswick where is now held.

The Store lor Everybody

Cor. Smith & Stale Sis. Fer h hmboy, N. J. Commencing Monday, Mny Cth, and continuing one week, we

start the most Important Corset Sale ever attempted In Perth \mboy. We have been selected to carry on the MOlO WKKK SAI.K. Ttio woman who visits our Corset Department this week will learn mora about Corset Comfort than she ever dreamed of before. The new models In the NKMO Lastiktops Corset System are simply wonderful In style and ease. Entirely new effects. A NKMO for every figure.

WE'EL EXPECT YOU THIS WEEK

Now is ttie Time to Study Corset Comfort—Probably Wc Can Help You. Come!

"Nemo Week" prows more and more important and interesting every year. New Nemo inventions, not only in construction but in corset fabrics, make Nemo Cor- sets more and more invaluable to nearly all women. This year there are some won-

derful models, not only in the world-famous "Self-Reducing" line, but in corsets especially designed for slender and medi- um figures. No. 354 (see. cut) is one of the

now "Auto-Massage"Self-Reduc- ing models, which not only reduce the figure all around by confining and re-shaping the surplus flesh, but, by constant gentle massage, due to the patented construction of those new corsets, the fat is gradually softened and removed by natural processes, thus making the figure permanently smaller. Price—$3.50.

' This is only one example ofliow Nemo

Corsets are in a class alone, entirely dif- ferent from nil others. Most women really verd Nemo Service. Perhaps you do. Come and see.

In addition to Nemo Week we have prepared to show you all the new Spring Models In such celebrated makes as Thompson's Glove Fitting, K. & O., American Lady, C. B., A'La Sprite, P. N., and others. This Is certainly a Corset treat.

DON'T Ml88 NEMO WEEK

COUNCIL TALK ATJAMESBURC Increase Light Service and

Wake Other Improvements

Special to the EVENING NKW8

Jamesburg, May R:—Tho accept- ance of (he proposition placed be- fore the common council Monday night by the Jamesburg Electric

Company for the extension of tho

present light service from 1 o'clock to an all night service was the prin- cipal business transacted by the councilmcn at their regular monthly meeting. At the present time the electric company Is giving a service to 1 o'clock for fifteen dollars per light p«r year, and for an additional one dollar per light (ho local com

pany will give the borough an all-

night, service. The matter was

brought before the borough fathers In a communication from Merrlt W.

Pharo, president of tho light com- pany, who made the town authorize tho offor which was accepted Imme- diately after Superintendent 11. ('.

Hlckllng, of the local company, had appeared before the body and ex-

plained Just what the electric com- pany would do for tile town The

acceptance of the offer of the com-

pany will give tho town a continu-

ous service from a half hour after sundown until sunrise both for

street lighting and commercial ser-

vice. Bills were ordered paid amount-

ing to $288.94. Ttie matter of the disposition of

the maintenance of Edward rotter, of Spotswood, who has become a

town charge, Is no nearer solution than It was last January when he came from Spotswood to this place. The matter was placed In the hands of Borough Attorney John Kirkpat- rlck, who gave his opinion that

Spotswood borough would eventual-

ly have to give the Potter man Its

support. Tinder protest, the borough paid a bill for $22 for eleven weeks for the man.

Mayor reported that he had ap-

pointed Matthew Bunn, John W.

flonover and John Soden as special officers and after a discussion cov-

ering the purchase of handcuffs, etc.,

for the now appointees the council

voted to equip the new officers. Con- over will do duty up town, Soden at middle Jamesburg and Bunn will

patrol tho lower section of the

town. The question of arresting riders

of bicycles who make a practice of

riding on the sidewalks and at

night without a light received tho

attention of th« councllmen. Mayor Patten suggested that tho officers

arrest the offenders who should now

be acquainted with the law after re- peated warnings. The way for the

extermination of tho numerous curs

running at large about town was

launched when It was recommended that Attorney Klrkpatrlck give his

opinion as to the legal method of

exterminating the dogs. A complaint •was read from

George A. Shultr, of tho local board of health, protesting against the

practice of the tenants of Borough Hall using an abandoned well In

£he ruur of that building for f 'ess-

I pool, Thy complaint was Vplaced be- fore (lie council nri complafaf of "SfKV" Witty, who resides next to the Bor- ough Hall and claimed the waste water was contaminating his well water. As Mr. Dunphy said he put nothing but clear water In the aban- doned well the council did not think the complaint justified and took no action. The State Board of Health refused to express an opinion ou the caso.

Superintendent Hlckling, of the light company, was before the coun- cil In regard to having the water company Inspect the water pipes and plugs once a month and give \ written report to the council. This j was thought a good plan and it was,' accepted by the council. (

The recommendation to have this water company extend their service' down J.ake street, up Glover's Hill and out Railroad avenue toward i

John Bennot's and down Lincoln avenue toward the Helmetta road received the attention demanded and Frederick L. Buckelew was ap- pointed a committee to meet with Mr. Pharo, of the water company, to have the extensions made where thought needed. A lengthy discussion followed the

complaint placed before council

touching on the disgraceful condi- tion of the nuisance allowed to 1st in the rear of the row of etorcH on Railroad avenue, facing on Buck- elew avenue, opposite the home of Mrs. Sarah Buckelew. This proper- ty is owned by a syndicate of local ^ men and it. was suggested that the borough (111 this hole In. It was voted to pluce It In the hands of the local board of health. Many of the

couucllmen thought the town should have enough civic pride in the town to prohibit the continuance of bo disgraceful a nuisance. A

protest waa re-read from Mrs. Buck- elew, dated May 1 fl, 1911, protest- ing against this same condition of affairs which showed the council has been slow In abating this dan- gerous nuisance.

Those present were: Mayor Elmer Patten, Clerk William 11 Brooks, Councilman Frederick Buckelew, J. Edmund Marryott, Elmer Dlblin, Charles Richards, Edward Apple- gate and David Kirkpatrlck.
