TRACING BELLS CAREER
Police Think He Is Responsible For
Many Recent Robberies.

Since the arrest of Thomas Bell, VINO,
the police believe robbed the Smith house
on Clerk street, Saturday Captain Nu-
gent and Detective Pearson have been
endeavoring to locate the stolen property.
They recovered the gold watch yesterday
from a pawnbroker, at Grove and Bay
streets. The pawnbroker stated that it
had been pawned by a colored man,
whose description tailed with that given
of Bell. Mrs. Smith identified the watch
as the one stolen Saturday.
A clock and number of silver knives,
forks and spoons, which the police believe
to have been stolen and pawned by Bell,
have been recovered. The police expect
shortly to have them identified by their
proper owners.
Captain Nugent said last evening that
he feels assured that Bell is the man who
committed the many recent robberies IN
the Bergen and Greenville. sections. He
bears an unsavory reputation and 1t Is
Believed he has been arrested before. The
police have learned that he never worked,
but always appeared to be plentifully
supplied with money. He carried razor
when arrested. He explained to the Ser
geant behind the desk, that s.it was a
handy thing to have in case of trouble"

THOUGHT THEY HAD HIM.
But 1t Was Only a Destitute Man
Whe Sought Shelter.


The residents of Clerk street near Car
teret avenue had another burglar scare
about eleven o'clock last night. Mr..
Washburn, who resides on Clerk street,
was getting ready to retire for the night
when he .heard some one ascend the front
steps and walk softly upon the porch. He
looked out and saw a man apparently try
ing to peep through the front window.
Fully convinced that burglar was try
ing to enter the house, Mr. Washburn
rushed out Of the house by the rear exit.
gained the yard andb lew call whistle
for help. Neighbors in all states Of dress
and undress rushed out of their houses to
participate in the burglar hunt. Some of
the men were armed with guns. knives
and pistols.
Patrolnen Bose and Routh also heard
the calls and hurried to the scene. They
found an old man sitting quietly on the
stoop, apparently oblivious to the great
excitement he had caused. When Officer
Bose asked what he was doing there he
calmly replied that he intended to sleep
there for the night He was taken to the
Ocean avenue police station and booked
as drunk and disorderly.
He gave his name as George Austin,
sixty-five years old. He said he had no
home, but usually stopped at the Mon
tauk House. He said he was a grass cut
ter. which was evidently true. as he car,
ried a sickle and whet stone. He told
Captain tNugent that he was no burglar
but liked the place and wanted to sleep
there.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Queen OF Chinatown" at the
Biiou Theatre.

Joseph Jarron's Queen of Chinatown
is the play at the Bijou Theatre this
week. It will be given every evening,
with the usual matinees on Wednesday
and Saturday.
The piece has just played short sea-
son to full galleries at a down town New
York theatre. It deals with the slums,
as its title indicates but 1t is not by any
means as Objectionable as the billboards
would lead one to believe. Indeed its
wickedness is of the strictly conventional
melo-dramatic type, and it Is duly defeat
ed and punished In the last act, after the
good old fashion, by the intense nobility
of the hero and heroine. The incidental
gambling and pistol shooting delight a
large part of the audience.
Miss Jeffreys Lewis, who has been a
favorite for quarter of century, is
very conspicuous in the title role; but,
last night, Willie Israel who is made up
to look about five years old, quite eclipsed
her In the favor of the audience. He is
one of the "specialties" which are sown
through the play like pumpkins in corn

waves of hysteria cannot be created In
one decade. They are looking at the
facts coolly. First OF all they ask the
motive of the present inquiry Is it for
the sake of the people? they ask. And
as they see the grinning visage Of Tom
Platt peep from behind the mask OF
Mazet or Moss, they are filled with dis
gust and Ioathing at the hypocrisy of the
whole performance.
Then they ask if Tammany is turned
out what they are to get in its place
Is it to be another epoch when every
thing else is to be subordinated to hunt
ing unfortunate women through the high
ways and byways, turning them out Of
their recognized haunts to spread moral
pestilence through tenement houses and
fiat houses and into uncontaminated
neighborhoods where people make their
homes? Mr. Moss holds out no other
prospect Platt assuredly offers nothing
better, and so the voters will be apt to
stand by Tammany as certainly no worse
and probably much better than the conn
bination of fanaticism and greed which Is
bombarding it.
Mr.. Moss, whose mind is of the Conn
stocxiau type. dwells with morbid insist
ence upon the vice of the city of New
York. Rational men must be well aware
that it is one Of the least vicious cities
in the world. and in its outward regard
for decency puts every capital in Europe
to shame If Mr. Moss read a little, he
would know that neither In corruption
nor in the outward appearance of it was
New York to be compared to London,
Paris, Vienna, Berlin st. Petersburg,
Brussels, Stockholm, Dublin, Copenhagen,
Rome or Madrid. In other words, Mr.
Moss, for the qualification of his depraved
instincts, for the aggrandizement of him
self and in order to serve the foul pur-
poses of the faction of the Republican
party, to which he is allied, vilifies the
great city, which tolerates his existence,
and deceives and misleads the public by
a system of unspeakable falsehood and
Misrepresentation.

MAY REWARD WHlTTEMoRE
Hobokenites Think Voorhees, Will
Give Him a Commission.

Walter f. Whfttemore, the Hoboken
Civil Engineer, who distinguished himself
by his clever work on the butts at Sea
Girt, last week, has been shooting but
two years. He never held rifle in his
hands prior to his joining the Essex
Troop in 1897 That year he qualified as
a marksman and in 1898 he did likewise.
The latter year he had the highest record
in the State. Mr.. Whittemore went to
Sea Girt this year at the request of Gen
eraI Spencer, Inspector of Rifles, and
easily qualified for membership on the
team to represent New Jersey in the
interstate match for the Hilton trophy.
It is said in Hoboken that the Governor
in recognition of Mr.. Whittemore's valu-
able service in helping to win the Hilton
trophy for the State will tender him a
commission in the National Guard.

The DAVIS PARADE.
A Change in the Line of March
Is Petitioned.

The residents of the Second and Third
wards. which comprise the Horseshoe
and Long Dock districts, are getting up
a petition to he presented to the man.
ayers of the Davis outing. asking that the
line of march be changed so that at least
a portion Of the parade can be witnessed
In those wards and districts. It is claimed
by all interested that it IS no more than
fair for the managers of the event to
take cognizance of the request. 1t is on
the return to the city after the outing
that the change is asked.
It is suggested that instead of landing
at the Morris street dock, as has been
the custom for the past ten years, the
landing be made at the Pavonia avenue
dock Pavonia avenue, from East HamiI-
ton place to the ferry, is one of the
widest thoroughfares in the city and
would no doubt be an excellent place to
fall in line. The route then suggested is
to move down Pavonia avenue pass
Freeholder Kenny's. the Mclaughlin
Club, the Second Ward Democratic Club,
then through East Hamilton place to
Eighth street, to Jersey avenue, past the
residence Of Mayor Hoos, the Third Ward
Democratic Clubhouse and the Catholic
Club, to Grand street, TO Grove street, to
Mercer street, and then disband.
sThe walk might seem a little longer
than the old route said one of the men
yesterday, but it is not. BY taking this
route we would have better marching,
and it would give the people a chance 10
witness the parade.
7 am sure said another business man
who was present, ''the change would be
appreciated by all. The residents of this
section of the city are very patriotic and
would be more so on an occasion of this
kind. It would also give people who
couldn't afford to spend the time to go to
Newark avenue or some distant street
chance to see the boys
Another prominent man who Is heart
and soul in favor of the change in the
line of march said If the change was ac-
complished he would spend s1G0 for fire.

ade did not go through the Horseshoe" >"
There Is no doubt said prominent
Office holder. that the people of this sec
ton OF the city are entitled to at least
one portion of the parade. Let the mer-
parade in the morning and our families

suggested would give thousands a chance

ATTENTION CHIEF MURPHY |
There Is a Policeman Needed
at the Pacific Avenue
Bridge.

Residents in the vicinity Of the canal
at Pacific avenue are complaining bitter
ly Of a gang of young toughs who gather
about that neighborhood and make a
practice of insulting pedestrians. Ladies
fare no better than men.
Several hard young men apparently de-
rived much pleasure from such innocent
amusement as throwing pebbles at all
who crossed the temporary bridge Sum
day afternoon. These small stones lie
about in huge piles and are to be used in
the erection Of the bridge at that point.
Several women were struck No police
man was IN sight and the rowdies had
nothing to fear.
The police should break up this practice
without delay.
