MORE STOLEN GOODS WERE
HIDDEN UNDER TRAP DOOR
Police Make Second Front Street House and Recover More Sill
Was the Floor and Hidden by RugPOce
Called Metuchen to Prisoner There but he was not
identified. 282aq I@a#aI 6GA 5lbsN6#NA0H

Chief Burke and Detective Huff re-
covered more silverware in the house
of Mary Bowe yesterday afternoon
which, as told in yesterdays News,
was raided by these officers and 80, 900
worth of stolen goods recovered. The
amount recovered this time was much
smaller than the first haul, but it was
found in the same house.
The officers were not satisfied that
they had recovered all nor are they
yet satisfied with the results of their
efforts. Immediately after the big
haul was safely lodged at police head
quarters the Chief and Detective Huff
started out again. They went to the
old house in Front street. In
looking about, the things still left In
the house and which were in charge
of the landlord, were turned over in
the slight hope of obtaining more
clues when suddenly, in the raising of
an old rug, a trap door was discover
ed. The Chief lifted it just to see If
anything was beneath, and more sill
verware, probably 800 worth, was
found.
The goods were carried to the police
station where telephone message
awaited them requesting their
immediate presence in Metuchen.
A man giving the name of Harry
Jones, of North Adams, Mass. had
been picked up for trying to sell a set
of surgical instruments. The first
thought of the Metuchen police was
that he was connected in some way
with the locol scase, but Jour officers
failed to identify him although the
chief said he was satisfied the man
was a crook. The Justice of the
Peace, before whom the man was
arraigned, evidently believed he was
a crook for he committed him to the
county Jail for thirty days pending an
investigation.
A telegraph despatch from District
Attorney Jerome, of New York, call
ed Detective Huff to New York this
morning to testify before the grand
jury there against Walter Rein alias
Ernest Scott, and his brother, who
gave his name as Edward Scott. They
are the ones whom the local police
arrested aboard the stolen yacht

ed in New York paper telling of
their arrest attracted the attention of

Our honored custom of observing

one which calls forth memories, elicit.
ing sentiments both of JOY and sadness
II is indeed joyful pride we feel on
this beautiful day in recalling TO men,
ory the deeds of bravery and the love
of country that have been manifested
by our soldiers in declaring by word
and deed their national independence
and In preserving even at the sacrifice
of their lives, the union OF our country.
IL Is with joyful pride that we recall
the but recent magnanimous spirit of
charity and brotherly love exhibited by
our country in extending TO sister-lands
the freedom and the liberty which we
ourselves enjoy. IL is source Of JOY
10 every true American citizen TO be
self-conscious OF the fact that we are
to-day the greatest people among the
nations of the world and that we have,
on memorable occasions declared TO the
world that we are such.
And we come to-day TO unite with
the veterans of the Grand Army in
showing our respect and our love TO our
dead soldiers who have sacrificed their
lives for US.
They have not enjoyed the independ-
ence for which they gave their lives,
they have not enjoyed the peaceful
union which they preserved by she'd
ding their life-blood and IL is with feel
ings of sadness that we wind our way
20 the peaceful cemetery 20 keep alive
the memory of our heroes and TO offer
up our tribute of respect and honor
and love by placing sweet scented
flowers upon their tombs.
The love of country which has
prompted our soldiers TO 90 forth in
her defense and TO lay down their lives
on the field of battle is the love of
home; it is the love of the family circle
the love OF father aud mother, husband
and wife, brother and sister and the
love of fellow man. IL is the mutual
love OF that large family of American
citizens having as their head the
Executive of our country and bound
together by the ties of mutual charity.
And. say, that IL this magnanimous
love can be exhibited In time Of war so
that we will give our lives one for an.
other. one for all and all for one, then
let us as a great people manifest the
same qualities In time of peace that we
manifest In time OF war and be united
in the bonds OF love aud charity. So
that In peace and In war the memory
of our deeds may go down from gener-
alton Co generation bearing with them
examples of unity, charity, prosperity,
and happiness.
