CLEVER POLICE V6RK
Detective Douglass Lively
Chase After 4
Thief.

Detective Douglass OF Headquarters,
who usually does duty as court officer in
the First criminal Court, had the ~lipeliest
| chase of his life after q prisoner yester-
day. He captured him and arraigned him
in triumph before Justice Douglass this
morning. The man who kept the Detec-
tive, who tips the SCALES at 260 pounds,
busy. was Frank Pitts, an Italian. He
was until two days ago employed as a
bartender by John Malascalza of No. 35l
Third street.
On Tuesday night Malascalza retired,
the possessor of $1O7. In the morning he
hadn't a dollar. Pitts was the only man
known to have entered his room. A war
rant was issued for the suspects arrest.
When detectives looked for him it vas
discovered he had skipped. 1t was learned
that he had gone to Fanwood where he
woman. Douglass was assigned to the
case.
Engaging an Italian to accompany him,
he started for Fanwood yesterday at
noon. Pitts was soon located in a road
house on the outskirts of Fanwood.
Douglass sent his Italian assistant into
the house but he returned with the infor-
nation that Pitts was not to be found.
Douglass was suspicious and made an in
v~estigation ON his own hook. He was go
ing through the house when CHANGING to
glance through Il window he espied a
man answering Pitts description Logging
it across a field a quarter of a mile away.
Douglass assistant e~ndeavored to con-
vince him that the fugitive was not Pitts
but the detective started in pursuit just
the same. He had procured a carriage
md tipping the driver literally induced
him to drive fast and mead off the fugi-
tive. The Italian was last seen crossing
a bridge on a side road.
Arriving at that point, no trace of him
could he found. Under the bridge Doug
lass found an Italian asleep. He at first
believed him to be the man he had been
chasing. When the sleeping man was
awakened and stood up. Douglass found
that he was not the same man by any
means The detective was about to give
up the chase when he made the discovery
that the fugitive had jumped from the
bridge into the swamp. He had sunk so
deep in the nllre that no difficulty wa ex-
%perienced in trailing him through the
swamp out Oh a road leading to a farm
house. All the outbuildingS were search
ed but no trace of the man could be
found.
Douglass assistant had arrived in the
meantime. Entering the barn together
they heard someone thrashing about in
the hay. The Italian assistant went all
over tho NOW but could not find the flu
gitiye. Douglass finally passed him a
pitchfork and directed him to turn the
hay over. A few minutes later the man
they We're i'll search of sprang from the
IaoW into the centre of The stable.
Douglass grappled with him and at the
point oil a reyo oily er marched him to the
carriage which was III waiting. The man.
was Pitts.
Thc detective relieved him of a revolver
and a s~tiletto, ~hanGcuffed him and re-
turned Wii.l HIM as quickly as possible.
This morning Justice Douglass committed
The prisoner to await the action of the
Grand Jury.
Douglass was cornplimented for the cap
ture OF Pitts by Chief Murphy.

The lot of the counterfeiter is not a
happy one. Tfouneed as he is by the
minors Of the law" there is really no
saIe place Tor him to carry on his bust
ness unmoleSted. He has even been
tracked into his lair in the solitude of the
government penitentiary at Leavenworth.
The lynx-eyed officers of that institution
have just discovered that a gang of
daring counterfeiters nave been operating
for some time within the walls of the
prison. 1t is said that exceptional clever
s. certificates were turned out with tools
kindly furnished the convicts BY the
Government. Just how long this work has
been going on is not known by he
officers, but it is believed that Leaven-
worth is flooded with these spurious
bills That the joke, is decidedly on Uncle
Sam there is no doubt. Still since their
is so much talent tn the various prisons
of the country, why not employ it in turn
ing out legitimate money? Possibly the
convict labor question might be settled
by converting all Government prisons
into minis or bureaus of printing and
engraving. This would entirely do away
with the dangerous gangs of counterfeit
ers that now infess our prisons and at
the same time turn their service into
account for the Government.-Kansas City

A BABY MARKET IN LONDON.
New Departure OF stead, the Eng

The well known English journalist. W.
T. Stead, has started in London a baby
market. where homeless little waits are
furnished to childless couples. Many
married people would be glad to adopt
one or more children if they felt secure
against deception and were certain that
the child did not come of a line of criminal
or yagabond ancestors. Mr.. Stead's new
institution is intended to give the neces-
sSary information. We quote from the

where the babies who may be adopted, to-
gether with absolutely correct informal
tlon concerning them, are to be found

There are plenty of them, and. like men,
of all sorts n conditions, except that in
every instance when they are placed on
view in the market they are absolutely
clean. Mr.. Stead and his confreres hold
that cleanliness is not only next to godli-
ness, but an absolute requisite prelimi-
shine under the ~benignant influences of
soap and water, and if chubby hands un-

TO save TIE BOULEVARD
Hoboken's Good Roads Asso-
citation Will Try to Stop
Heavy Trucking on the
Big Drive.

h Committee on Roads of tie Hobo
ken Branch of the Hudson County Good
Roads Association met last night at
No. l,C36 Park avenue, Hoboken. AT the
last meeting OF he committee, H. I'll
Rolffes, one of the members, was III
rected to ascertain as nearly as possible
the condition of the Hudson Boulevard.
which the committee learned was not
properly cared for by the authorities.
Rolffes presented a written report and
read it aloud before the members.
He said that in Jersey City the police
had taken some steps to enforce the or
dinance relating to heavy trucking on
the Boulevard, but that they had entire
ly neglected to protect scorching by
cyclists. The section of the road through
West Hobokea and North Bergen, he
said, was being damaged greatly owing
to the failure of the authorities of the
towns to exercise any jurisdiction over
it. The towns claimed that the Boule-
ward was entirely out Of their control,
and that it was under the supervision
OF the county. No attempt was being
made to prevent damage, and if some
thing vas not lone the road would be
UNFIT for travel in a short time. The
same conditions prevailed in Union Hill,
Township of Union and Guttenberg, where
every kind of heavy traffic traversed the
road without interference by the police.
Rolffes suggested that the committee
send a letter to Freehoider Charles .Eich-
horn of West Hoboken and Freebooter
Conrad Dietz of North Bergen, calling
their ~ttention to the manner in which
the road is neglected in those towns, and
requesting that something be done to
preserve its good condition. He also pro-
posed that to the members of the Union
Hill Common Council thereeb be sent a sim
liar communication. Some of the North
Hudson Wheelmen, he said, would act as
special policemen on the Boulevard if
they could get permits from Sheriff Hell
Ter. h towns take no interest in the
road whatever.
Upon motion of Samuel A. Besson. Mr..
Rolffes' report was received and the Elk
ecutive Committee was asked to carry
OFT his suggestions. It was decided to
write to some North Hudson wheelmen.
and ask them if they would act as deputy
sheriffs, providing that Sheriff Heller
would. grant them permits. .Rolffes said
that he was informed that Judge Lippin-
colt had instructed the Grand Jury to
investigate the charges made against the
~F,reeholders of neglecting the Boulevard.
and he thought that 1t would be a good
chance for the committee to give the
jury some information about the condi-
ton of the road. A resolution was
passed, to appoint a committee TO wait
upon the Grand Jury sometime next
week.
