BRITTEN THIEVES
Chief Murphy Receives Data
From Philadelphia
Which Prove
Them Old
Crooks.

1t win be recalled by readers of ''The
News" that early on the morning of July
5, Patrolmen Entwistle and Murphy ar
rested William Frazer and John Simp-
son as they were about to cross one of
the Pennsylvania ferries and that articles
found in valises they were carrying led
to the discovery that burglary had been
committed at the home of B.sF. Britten,
No. 55 SSummit avenue, whose family
were out of town. The men We're sup
posed to be professional thieves, although
at the time their dress and general ap-
pearance was that of hoboes.
In accordance with the usual custom
in such cases Chief Murphy instructed
Roundsman William Robinson, who has
charge of the criminal investigation bu-
reau, to find out if the. two men had
criminal records.
As result the Chief this morning re-
ceived from the Police Department of
Philadelphia pictures of the two men
with data showing that they had been
arrested there on February 8, 1900, for
felonious entry of Pullman sleeping cars
and using drugs on sleeping people for
the purpose of robbery.
Through some misunderstanding as to
extradition the two men had to be re-
leased at that time.

him. At the head of the stairs he found
the door locked. The inspector and the
detectives started to force the door, but
Kaiser took key from his pocket and
unlocked it.
In the room We're found forty-seven
sports. The raid resulted in the arrests
of Christian Kaiser. forty-rwo years odd,
of No. 445 Communipaw avanue; John
Phillips. twenty-four years old, of No.
900 Avenue d, Bayonne, Frank Clark, of
No. 305 Clark street. and Michael Grant
thirty-four Years old, of No. "a West
Thirtyninth street Bayonne.
The police believe they have evidence
to convict.
In each case the arrested men gave bail
for hearing today.
The hearing of the four men arrested
in the Exchange Place raid was laid over
until tomorrow morning, as some of the
accused men who had given baiI for their
appearance in the First Criminal Court
had not shown up when Police Justice
Hoos adjourned court.
In the case of the raid of Kaiser's
place the hearing was laid over for one
week in the Second Criminal Court
The charge against each prisoner is
that of aiding and abetting pool selling
on horse racing.

INTERSTATE TRUST co
Vice President Arbecam Issues
a Statement in Reply to
the Newspapers. N

The Interstate Trust Company of this
city, whose proposal to float $20,00O,000
of collateral trust mortgage bonds and in
crease its capital stock from 100000 to
$5,000,000 caused the State authorities
to investigate its affairs, has issued the
following statement to the public
'sThe action Of the State Banking De-
partment against the Interstate Trust
Company was entirely unexpected to the
Company and was entirely unnecessary
under any aspect of the case The bank
examiner had made thorough examina-
ton of the Company, had found the books
and accounts all correct, and had ex-
pressed himself as satisfied. AS matter
of fact, the company has substantially
no creditors; it is receiving no deposits,
and its capital is intact. The stock is
practically all owned by the Banden Com
pany and the Banden Company has au-
thorized the purchase by the Interstate
Company Of the stocks in which its cap
ital was invested. The Banking Depart
ment acted at the instigation of no cred
itor or stockholder. Leonard Imboden
& Company do not own a share of stock
have no connection with the Company
and have not one dollar invested in it.
The Company will protect itself in the
proper manner at the proper time.

POOL ROOM RAID
Six Prisoners Taken From
An Alleged Establish
ment on Exchange
Place.
ANOTHER JOINT ON THE HILL
Seven Sports Taken From
Christian Kaiser's Saloon
on Communiraw
Avenue.
ANOTHER JOINT ON The HILL

Two alleged poolrooms were raided by
the police yesterday afternoon, and a
number of arrests were made:-
At two o'clock Chief of Police Murphy
sent Detective McNally to Exchange
Place telling him that he would probably
find pool room on the second floor of
the metropole hotel. The detective vas
instructed to get in there if possible and
arrest those in charge.
At the head of the stairs the detective
was halted by man unknown to him.
''You can't go up here said the man.
McNally struck the man under the
right ear and knocked him down the
flight of stairs. Then he walked into a
room in the rear Of the hotel parlor,
where he found fifty men. He pushed
his way through the crowd to the rear of
room where he found six men sitting
behind a partition. McNally attempted
TO arrest all six of them but two got
away.
The arrest of the men created great
excitement. McNally called upon those
present to notify police headquarters,
but no one responded. Police headquar-
ters were notified later on. Inspector
Archibald and two detectives hurried to
the scene, but Detective McNally had left
for headquarters with their prisoners.
These gave their names and addresses
as follows:-
Abraham Lawrence thirty mine years
-6lds No. A Baldwin avenue; Edward H.
Tape, thirty-two years old, No. 179
Third street: Robert Decatur, forty-six
years old, No. 1S0 Fourth street; and
Peter Gray, No. A Baldwin avenue.
Lawrence gave his occupation as that of
a speculator and from card found in
his pocket the police believed him to be
Abraham Fennell He had in his pos
session s., ,2S701. The other prisoners
had smaller amounts in their possession.
Inspector Archibald found a number of
racing cards and other memoranda which
the police believe viii be useful in pros
ecuting the case.
= At the same that McNally was sent
to the alleged pool room in Exchange
place Sergeant Harrington was dis
patched to a private house in Communi-
paw avenue, where arrangements had
been previously made for policeman to
take observations from front window
overlooking a supposed pool-room run by
Christian Kaiser in the southwest corner
of Communipaw ayenue and Grand
street.
Sergeant Harrington telephoned TO the
Chief that the pool room was running. in
full blast Inspector Archibald and De-
tectives Hottie and Larkins started i'm
medjately for the scene of operations.
4 To reach the room one is obliged to 90
through bar room. The inspector pass
led through the saloon and started up
stairs. He was intercepted by Kaiser.
The Inspector took him by the neck and
ran him up the fight of steps in front of
