THREE DIE WHEN GAR TURNS OVER New Jersey Fatality as Auto Plunges From Bridge New York, Aug. 6.—A man and his wife were drowned and another wom- an was mortally hurt early yesterday when the touring car in which they were riding became unmanagable be- cause of a broken steering gear and plunged from a bridge on the Fort Lee road into Mill Creek, near Tea- neck, N. J. The dead are Mr. and Mrs. Niles Johnson of 126 Park avenue, Teaneck, N. J.,, and Mrs. Peter Erickson of 21 East Broad street, Bogota, N. J. Mr. Erickson, owner of the automobile, was driving when the car left the bridge, but he was able to pull him- helf loose and hold up his wife until help arrived. His wife, however, had been so badly hurt and shocked that she died two hours later. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson never had a chance after the car went off the bridge into the darkness. They were In the rear seat and were trapped under fifteen feet of water. Their bodies were recovered several hours later. Mr. Erickson, who is a wealthy con- tractor of Bogota, sald they were driving home from a visit to friends in Hudson county. The automobile apparently was running well, but he sald he was not driving rapidly. Mill Creek, ordinarily a shallow stream, was at flood tide, and Mr. Erickson sald that just as the front wheels of the car went upon the little bridge something went wrong with the steer- ing gear. He twirled the wheel rapidly, but lost his head for a moment and neg- lected to turn off the gas or throw on the emergency brake. The car careened to one stde, narrowly missed the guard rail and went over. Mr. Erickson got loose from the wheel and rose to the surface shout- ing for help. His wife floated up be- her and held her up. Herman Men- zer of 21 Duet place, Weehawken, was in his own car a short distance behind when he saw the lights of Erickson's automobile disappear. As he came near the bridge he heard the contractor’s cries for help. He threw off his coat and pulled out Mr. and Mrs. Erickson.

STATE POLIGE TELL OF THEIR WORK Kotive Against Bootleggers Says Report to Gommissioners The state police have reported to the commissioners of state police for the fiscal year ended June 80th, a large increase in the quantity and value of liquor seized and destroyed by members of that department dur- ing the past year. The number of ar- rests made and the number of towns operated in also show a marked in- crease as compared with the figures of the previous fiscal year. The in- crease of over 400 per cent of the value of the liguor seized is attributed to the fact that rum running vehicles are watched very carefully. Of the 441 arrests made for violations of the liguor law in 101 towns of the state, 405 convictions were obtained. Fines amounting to $52,240 were im- posed upon the accused and 73 jail sentences were passed of . which 47 were suspended. In addition to the arrests made, 303 investigations were made in 96 towns of the state as the result of com- plaints received at headquarters of violations of the liquor law in such towns. In most of these cases the complaints were discovered to be un- founded but in all instances were in- vestigated. That the state police department has never indiscriminately held up motor vehicles for the examination of their contents was emphasized. He stated that complaints had been re- ceived at his office against the prac- tice under the misapprehension that the state police were involved in such campaigns. The following are some of the out- standing figures with comparisons which were submitted to the commis- sioners: 1921-22 Arrests for viola- tions liquor law 370 Fines imposed . $49,120 Value of liquor seized $36,304 Number of towns in which prosecu- tions brought .. 1922-23 441 $ 62,240 $163,342 2 101 BARN FIRED BY LIGHTNING Pawtucket, R.

Call 2120 ' Above-Board Circulation PROGRESSIVE publications belonging to the Audit Bureau of Circulations have adopted an open and “Above-Board” circulation policy. They lay before advertisers circulation facts that have been verified by experienced auditors. Advertisers, before the advent of the A. B. C. were forced to depend upon hearsay circulation information and unverified “sworn statements” of circulation. No detailed figures were available and no verification was possible except at great expense to the advertiser. Nowadays advertisers look to the ‘A. B. C. for dependable, un- information and select their advertising medi- biased circulation ums accordingly. Today 91% of the circulation of papers having over five thousand circulation is audited by the A. B. C. It should not be long before every newspaper goes on record with A. B. C. membership. This will make it possible for every advertiser to use detailed circulation facts, covering the entire newspaper field. This will permit a fair comparison and eliminate guesswork from the pur- chase of space. The HERALD is a member of the A. B. C. and would be pleased to submit a copy of the latest circulation report.
