BLOWN UP BY
DYNAMITE
Thieves Use Desperate
Means to Open the Safe
in Herman Rosen-
berg's Saloon.
THEY WERE EVIDENTLY EXPERTS
Booty Included $50, Three
Gold Watches and An
Excise License
THEY WERE EVIDENTLY EXPERTS

The saloon of Herman Rosenberg, No.
40 Leonard street. was entered by thieves
between midnight and six O'Clock this
morning. A small safe about two-feet-
and-a-half square was taken to rear
stoop, covered with carpet and pool table
covers and blown open by dynamite
about $3.50, three gold watches and city
excise and revenue license was taken by
the thieves. The latter taken away by
the thieves who evidently did not know
what they Were.
The dynamite was inserted in hole
drilled just above the combination.
The thieves made off with their booty
The. saloon is a small and unpretentious.
The thieves (for there must have been
more than one of them, as the safe, de-
spite its size is too heavy for one to car
ry) knew their business and the job was
SO neatly done that the police believe that
expert criminals or safe crackers have
haunted the saloon for several days and
had ascertained before the saloon was
closed last night that money watches
and other valuables had been locked
therein.

PASSAlc SEWER WORK.
Governor Tells the Com
mission No Legal Obstacle
Bars It's Progress.

Special to The Jersey City News.")
TRENTON. June 80, 1908. Governor
Murphy and Attorney General Robert n.
McCarter have satisfied themselves that
the provision in the Passaic trunk sewer
act which stipulated that before the COM
missioners could go ahead with the work
these two officials must certify that in
their opinion there was no valid or legal
objection to emptying the sewage into
New York bay at the point settled by
the plans according to the act.
The commissioners submitted report
to the governor last week. and after CON
sidering it he turned it over to Mr.. Nc
Carter who also investigated. Mr.. Nc
Carter sent word to the chief, executive
that he could see no ground for legal ac-
ton on the part of the state of New
York.
Soon after Governor Murphy heard
from the Attorney General in the matter
he notified the commission that it could
properly go ahead with the work of
building the sewer. The governor an
nouneed the conclusion reached by the at
torney general to the effect that no le-
gal obstacles blocked the way of the pro
ject. 50 far as the proposed outlet was
concerned.
Chapman Lebkuecher, of the commits
sion. who received the governors Motif
cation, said yesterday afternoon that he
had not had time to place the communi-
cation before his colleagues, and added
that he did not know positively when he
could get them together. He went on to
say that, personally he saw no reasons
why the work should not be- proceeded
with without further elay.
