Gang Fires FusiIIade Of
Shots at PurSuer
After Blowing Open
Safe.
P%osT-oFFlcE WAS ROBBED
Residents of Lodi, N. j., Turn
Out with Guns and Search
Woods Without Success
Dynamite Was Used.


PASSAIC, N. j.. May H.-Five rob-
bers armed with revolvers and carry
ing dynamite visited Lodi early to-day
and broke into the post-ofiice In the
Ker Building. The large iron safe was
bored full of holes and then dynamite
inserted. Blankets and bundles OF mail
sacks as we'll as papers were piled on
the safe to deaden the sound.
The burglars must have used too
much dynamite, for when 1t exploded 1t
blew the safe to pieces, wrecked all the
post-ofice furniture and caused general
ruin.
The noise awoke half the village. The
robbers gathered up whatever was left
OF value in the safe and made for the
front door. John Ker, who owns the
building, ran to the place In time TO
see them fly down the road. The ROD
bers turned inc fired seven shots al
him. He did not believe that they were
the robbers and instead of giving chase
shouted for help.
Postmaster Andrew Mercer. who lives
two blocks away, was and
had the villagers turn out, the men
being armed with revolvers and rifles.
Search was made of the woods In the
vicinity but the robbers had escaped.
The exact amount OF money taken from
the safe is not yet KNOWN.

COURT RULES OUT
SPATE PARK CHAIRS
Justice Steckler Declares
Parks Are for All the People
and Overturns. the Contract
Made by Clausen.

In a decision handed down in the
Supreme court to-day Justice Steckler,
IN the famous Spate chair case, decides
that the parks Of the city are for all
the people and not for any particular
class. He therefore grants a perpetual
injunction prohibiting the private use
of public parks.
The decision was rendered in the
case Of Daniel NJ. Kurtz. who sued as
a taxpayer to restrain former Park
Commissioner George C. Clauscn and
Oscar F. Spate from placing chairs in
the public parks to be used for private
gain. Under a contract with Park
Commissioner Clausen Mr.. Spate caused
easy chairs to be placed in the various
parks of the city. He charged a nickel
apiece for the privilege of occupying
his green chairs and there were many
disturbances in the park.
In his decision Justice Steckler re-
views all the facts brought out In the
trial Of the action and says: ut seems
to me that the agreement In question is
a pernicious one and that the special
privileges therein conferred are utterly
opposed to our institutions.
THE parks are for the people and not
for any particular class OF the people.
There Is no authority vested either in
the Park COMMISSIONS or the city to
so trample upon the rights of the pub.
lie"
Justice Steckler draws the distinction
betwee such privileges sought by Spate
and the privileges allowed for goat
carts, donkeys. restaurants, &c. The
latter privileges. he says. enhance the
value Of the parks to the general public.

Moving stairs.


On the uptown side of the elevated
station at 23d street and 9Th avenue,
and on the south side OF 23d street
there is a moving stairway which by a
tedious process conveys the tired shop

Passengers from down town getting
OFF at 23d street often forget about the
stairway and walk to the south side OF
the station, only to find that the steps
move only one way. They then walk

COMING OF THE SPARROW.
Germantown Council Gave $500 for tn
First importation.


rhe old residents OF Germantown
took advantage OF a delightful day to
saunter up Germantown avenue stop
ping now and then at the different
places of historic interest along the
avenue. They spent some time at the
old Ship house. telling each other
about the ancient structure, and as to
how the ship came to be placed there
when their attention was attracted by
myriads of sparrows that congregated
upon the room. "Ahl That reminds
me-" said the elder OF the two, "of the
Old John Bardsley house and the story
of how the sparrow came to German
town"
Walking up the avenue farther they
came to halt in front OF little white
painted two-story house at the north
west corner OF Upsal street and Ger
mantown avenue. For over an hour
the two old men fingered in front of
this "old house." and the following
story was told:
The house was occupied for a num-
Der of years by the late John Bards-
ley, better known as Sparrow Jack
During the time that william F.
Smith represented the twenty-second
ward in councils he presented an or
dinance appropriating $500 with which
to purchase English sparrows to de-
stroy the measuring worms that had
become nuisance in the city squares.
John Bardsley, an Englishman, but
for many years a resident Of German
town, was delegated to go to England
TO secure the sparrows. Being familiar
with the English birds he had no
trouble in catching them in nets. He
secured between 300 and 400. On his
way over from England one-half the
sparrows died. but enough existed to
insure a g?pid increase of the little
pests. which have since become more
troublesome than the worms.
"Bardsley was always an enthusi-
astic admter OF the sparrows, and to
show his love for them he fed them
regularly during the winter months.
and had number of fantastically con-
structed boxes, surmounted with
weathervanes and ornaments, for their
use. He always reproved any one who
interfered with or abused the spar.

Venezuela first made declara-
ton of it's independence in 1910.
The present republic was formed
in 1880, in the same year that
Belgium became an Independent
monarchy. The rival political
parties in Venezuela are the
Unionists and the Federalists.
The former favor a centralized
governments; the latter are for
home rule. Both are opposed to
foreign invasion, encroachment
or cOnfscatiOn.
Caracas, the capital and chief
city of Venezuela, has a popula-
ton of 10000. 1t is built at an
elevation of 5000 feet above the
sea level. 1t was founded in
1867. Caracas is an Indian
name; the name of the Indians Of
the neighborhood which the
Spanish pioneers affixed to the
original title of the new town,
Santiago de Leon. In 1912, the
year of the latest American war
with Great Britain, an earth
quake in Caracas buried $1,000
persons in the ruins of a part of
the city.
Venezuela imports from the
United States in q year about
81, 100000 worth of goods,
chiefly manufactured articles.
From Great Britain it imports
So, 100000, from Germany S.
100000, from France s., OO0,-
900, and from Spain 100000.
This is the country from which
Venezuela imports the most, and
this is the country to which
Venezuela exports most. Vene-
zuela exports to the United
States an average of SD, O0O,-
900, to France $7,OOO,OOO, to
England 81, 100000, and to Ger
many and Spain, S600.000eaeh.
The summer season in Vene-
zuela lasts from November to
April. The winter season lasts
from April to November. The
climate of the temperate part of
the country is the finest in South
America, the most equable and
the most salubrious, outside of
Peru. The women of Venezuela
are of the Spanish type, and are
celebrated for their beauty. The
language of the country is Span
ish; no language is sweeter.

There are more than 200 lakes
within the boundaries of Vene-
zuela, one OF the largest being
1 500 feet above the level of the
sea. The Orinoco river, the
largest in Venezuela, is 1,16o
miles long, it is five times as long
as the Hudson river, but less
than one-half of the Amazon and
less than one-half the length Of
the Mississippi. The roads of
Venezuela are Inferior. Com

government, however, has ex-
pended large sums of money for
the Improvement of the APP
proaches to some of the larger

in Venszuela, the official division
being based on the constitution
of the United States. There is
also a federal district Of Column

SOME FACTS ABOUT VENEZUELA.
Extent Area, Situation and Industries
of the Land.

The population of Venezuela
