De Sarno fired a second this lodging in Qua-trano's left arm. The latter said that Just aa he slammed the door De Sarno fired another shot, but this lodged In the door. With blood streaming from his wound, Quatrano said he ran from the rear of his house searching for police. Da Sarno had dkuppeared. Immediately, police after hearing Quatrano say that De Sirno shot him, broadcast his description and went to the West Grove house, thinking that perhaps he might have hidden there.

Unable to locate him, they continued their aearch to all of De Sarno's known haunts. Police are of the opinion that the attack by De Sarno was caused by the latter's eeparatlon from bis wife. It is thought that De Sarno blamed Quatrano for the domestic trouble. De Sarno i out on ball for an attempt to his wife, Rose, last July 31. He was arrested at the time and is now under $500 bail on charge of felonious assault.

He has been arrested several times by police of thle city and Neptune township and has a record as a desperate character. It is thought by police that De Sarno has friends elther; Newark or New Tork and that he-probably will hide there until the affair blows over. HOST OFjRIENDS Gov.

adv2Do-98 Commerce Secretary Urges Strict Laws to Reduce Toll of Dead and Injured. PEDESTRIANS SUFFER MOST, REPORT SHOWS WASHINGTON. Dec. 15. Modern methods in industry and commerce and policing have been successful in reducing annually within the United States the number of accidental deaths and Injuries from every cause but one, and that is the i utomobile, Secretary Hoover declared today In an address opening the national conference on street and highway safety.

In ten years the rate of fatal accidents has been doubled by automobile operation, the secretary said, and while motor vehicles have established themselves as a prime necessity of American life, it is now necessary to find "constructive measures to meet the crisis of tens of thousands of deaths annual ly, with hundreds of thousands of serious personal injuries, accompanied b.T economic loss of a staggering sum." "A very large portion of the 22,600 deaths, tho 678,000 serious personal injuries which is our annual traffic toll for the last year," the secretary said, "have happened to men, women and children on foot. The next largest group who suffered are the motorists themselves, who are the victims of reckless driving upon the part of a small minority of vicious or ignorant. "The automobile is the great development of twenty years, both economically and socially. But if we wish for its fullest development we must reduce its terrors. "There are three broad methods ot approach to remedy, first thru prevention and safeguard, and second thru much stronger punishment for violation of the rights of others; third, thru public education as to its responsibilities.

"It Is not my purpose here to enter upon the proposals before the They cover a tremendous range from town planning and traffic planning, to regulation, legislation and engineering construction and education. They embrace both punitive and preventive measures. Many parts of the proposals are in use In some place In the country today but only In' parts. For instance, but few of our states Impose rigorous determination on competence before licensing drivers, There is no uniformity In traffic reg-. ulations.

ise, Say Engineers. Dec. 15. Because of the lact of local cooperation, the chief of army engineers recommends that the government make no further Improvement In the channel' of Double creek In Barnegat bay. An unfavorable report on a preliminary survey made by army engineers was sent to copgress today.

Double creek is a small tidal stream entering Barnegat bay from tho west. In 1912 the federal government dredged a channel five feet deep and 40 feet wide from tho mouth to a highway bridge one quarter mile up stream. This Improvement was made on the condition that local Interests would maintain the channel, and the obligation was formally agreed to. The channel has not been maintained, however, and has Bhoaled to a depth of two feet, according to the engineer's report. Recently the government has been asked to dredge a channel six feet deep and from 60.

to 7G feet wide up to the bridge. It Is declared that the abandonment of the railroad between Barnegat City and Barnegat Junction, which has been authorized by the Interstate Commerce commission, will throw considerable coastwise shipping into Double creek. The engineers, however, declare that there are ample facilities for wharves on the opposite side of Bar-negat bay, and that a five-foot chan-ncl, such as the government once dredged, is sufficient for Double creek. Since local interests have failed to maintain the channel as they agreed to do, the army engineers do not recommend that the government spend more money on the project. NO MORE Fired at by an enraged man but three feet away.

Tony Quatrano, 43, ot 1505 Springwood avenue, had a miraculous escape from being slain last night when three shots were blazed at him by Angelo De Sarno, 40, of 1210 Heck avenue, Weat Grove, went wild. Only one bullet struck Quatrano. This entered his left arm below the elbow and followed the arm and lodged in the wrist, lie was taken to the Asbury Park hospital, where the bullet was removed. His is not serious. Meanwhile police have spread a not and are searching tor the would-be murderer.

Several clue have boen followed but until late this morning De Sarno had not been captured. Friends of tho min say he took a train for Newark or. New York immediately after tho shooting. That Quatrano was not murdered cold blood was due to nU holding in his hand a glass Jug when De Sarno fired. One of the shot shatter ed It and was deflected.

Police were told by Quatrano that he was at his homo about 7 o'clock last night when his dog barked, when It heard someone walking on the front porch, Quatrano police that he went LOSE APPEAL FOR County Citizens' League Is Aroused By State Board's Ruling Against Lower Taxes On Farm Lands. ADOPT RESOLUTIONS; MAY MAKE COURT FIGHT UnT Mmrr. Twin IS tnti la rife In Holmdel as the result of a report of the committee on assessment reform at-av meeting of the Citizens' league Saturday night, to the effect that the state board, without giving a reason for It's opinion, had ruled against the appeals of the township farmers for reductions In their assessments. Folllwing the report, officials of the league adopted resolutions charging that politics had an influence In the matter, and reiterating league's stand In favor of abolishing the county and state tax boards. The people had contended their farms were aossessed over iuu percent of true value and were arressed equally with railroad lands.

The County Tax board had argued, that Inspection of stamps on 37 deeds for land In Holmdel showed tol-il considerations of $244,100 and total assessments of $102,310, or a 42 percent assessment. Indignation Is rlfo Holmdel. Township otlicers say tho sales with only 2 exceptions are of small houses'and lots in hands of comparatively poor people who previously may have been purposely favored over farm owners and that only 2 farms were sold last year, and one of these brought slightly more than the amount assessed and the other slightly less It Is contended it Is ridiculous to base i an opinion oh such a state of facts where nearly all the land In Holmdel Is farm land. They claim there Is no. market for farm land and that tenant farmers are leaving the farms and the owners cannot make a living.

Tho state board says It was not shown that farms were assessed at more than 100 percent of true value. Tho township people say 99 out of 100 appeals to begin with In any community are not where land Is assessed at more than true value, but where land of one person is discriminated ngalnst by being assessed at a greater ratio than his neighbors' lands a fertile Instrument-of injustice. That If the law gives those boards power to "revise and and the boards refuse to function, that the boards should be abolished and thus save the tax payers thousands of dollars paid In salaries.

At the' bedside of the congressman-elect was Mrs. Appleby, who remained constantly with her husband during his courageous fight, and Theodore, son, who, with two other sons, Stewart and Harry, were hastily summined to Baltimore yesterday afternoon when their father's condition turned for the worse. Theodore alone reached the bedside before death. The body Is expected to arrive In Asbury Park late today. Services will be held In the First M.

E. church, Grand and First avenues, Thursday at 11.30, Furman A. De Maris officiating, it was announced late this morning. Interment will be at Old Bridge, Mr. Appleby's birthplace, that afternoon.

Word of Mr. Appleby's death came as a distinct shock. Altho his condition generally was believed to have been more critical than admitted by members of his family, a telephone message to the hospital late Saturday night brought the statement that Mr. Appleby was "resting comfortably, showing slight improvement and his general condition la all that can be expected" following such a serious operation. A distinct turn for the worse was noticed by physicians yesterday at 11 a.

m. and a consultation Immediately followed. An examination disclosed that Mr. Appleby's Intestinal trouble was complicated by an increasing acute condition of angina pecoris, from which he has suffered for three years but which had not been looked upon as dangerous. An hour later the heart condition had become so acute that Theodore, Stewart and Harry, all residents of this place, were summoned to the bedside.

Theodore alone reached Baltimore before his father died. He drove from here to Trenton by automobile, catching a southern express at that place at 5 p. rn. Mrs. Apleby bore up bravely under the shock.

Nature of Growth Unknown It became known this morning that Mr. Appleby's intestinal ailment never was definitely diagnosed. Physicians of the Johns Hopkins hospital who had him late in the summer for observation and later operated, were agreed that a form of neoplasm of the large intestine was the cause of his intestinal obstruction. But whe-ther this was a tumorous or a cancerous growth was not determined by the physicians as to remove a section would have entailed a more serious operation than they felt Justified in performing. The first indications of falling health became evident in August, at the height of Mr.

Appleby's primary campaign, when he was pitted against Stanley Washburn of Lakewood for the Republican nomination to congress. He complained of weakness and was persuaded, finally, to yield to treatment. His physician here was Dr. James F. Ackerman, who recommended he go to the Johns Hopkins hospital for observation.

This he did, and for three weeks was under the constant observation of Dr. William Fisher of that institution. He underwent a radium treatment, and some improvement Leading Brands of Cigar. Cigars in boxes of 10 to 100 in imported and domestic brands. Combination boxes for holiday giving.

Neither the Constitution of fhe United Statos nor the election laws ot this state provide in definite words for the contingency of the death of a congressman-elect. The nearest paralled case is seen in tho death Feb. 5, 1914, of Representative Robert Bremner of Passaic county.

Governor Fielder subsequently issued a writ for spe'Mal election, which was called March 2 by specific proclamation. Bremner, however, had been elected in the general election three months previous to himself. Wat He A Representative? The question arises, then: Was Mr. Appleby a "representative" of Niw 1 Jersey In the house of representa tives, or would he have become March 47 In other words, did he become a representative ot this state upon election, or wouli ho have had to wait until the presidential Inaugural in March before assuming this status?
