POLICE BELIEVE THEY
HAVE RIVER THIEVES.
oooot Arrests Made last Night When Young Men, who have
been Lnq ON Board SOop Taken into CuStOdySnce
their Appearance Things have been Missing Along Shore

What the police believe to be the
most important capture made by them
in long while was ACCOMPLISHED last
night when Chief Burke, with Officers
Long, Huff and McDermott went along
shore and arrested two we'll dressed
young men. The police suspect the
prisoners as being the river thieves
who have been causing all kinds OF
things to disappear on both sides OF
the river front during the past few
weeks.
The men gave their names as Ernest
and Edward Scott, aged twenty -one
and twenty three years old respective
ly, of 314 East 59th street, New York.
The police believe these are not their
right names. The young men were
taken into custody in very quiet
manner Just as they landed on shore
from small boat into which the
officers had watched them row from
a large sloop-rigged yacht. The police
are inclined to believe this sloop has
been stolen. The yacht is fully
worth $1,000 and had been fitted up
for cruise.
Mr.. Acker, of Market street
who, as told in yesterdays s
News, reported that batteau, two
dynamos and number of brass fit-
tings had been stolen from his ma
chine shop near Sea Breeze on Staten
Island, determined that the oulprits
should be caught, if possible. His
suspicion rested upon persons aboard
the yacht already mentioned which
has been at anchor off Tottenville
since Saturday last. AS Mr.. Decker's
power boat had also disappeared the
police on the island were notified and,
night before last, police patrol boat
with police sergeant aboard, came
down from New York and the yacht
was boarded about II O'Clock. After
carefully investigating every thing on
board and questioning the young men
they reported to Mr.. Acker that
nothing was found upon which an
arrest could be made. The officers
even "guyed'' Mr.. Acker and called
him farmer" for having the police
search the sloop.
This aroused Mr.. Acker and he re-
ported the matter to Chief Burke who
detailed Detective Huff upon the case
yesterday.
Chief Burke had assured Mr.. Acker
that the men would be arrested on
general principles as soon as they set
foot in Perth Amboy and their plans
were made accordingly. The first
thing Detective Huff noticed was that
the boats name was missing. Then,
during the course of his investigation,
the men suddenly pulled up anchor
and sailed to this side of the sound.
Huff noticed that they were clumsy
in handling the boat. These few
facts were reported to Chief Burke.
The chief was satisfied that they were
on the right track and concluded
that the men would come ashore dur
ing the night. According they wait
ed for them and the arrest followed.
At police headquarters both prison
ers told conflicting stories concerning
themselves. Furthermore it was dis
covered that the one giving his name
as Ernest greatly resembles young

The visitors have not been in this
city since 1900 when they defeated
the Marions to in fast game with
Rochelle in the box for the locals.
Gus will again do the twirlinQ to-
morrow and he hopes to pull out a
victory. Since their last appearance
here the Knickerbockers have under
gone complete change and are under
different management. They ; have
been playing fast ball and are under
the impression that they can easily
take the Marions in tow That, of
course, remains to be seen and the
fans are convinced from the form
already displayed by the locals that
thew will be in the running.
The following attraction at the en-
closed grounds on May % will be the
famous All Cubans who are the cham
iTians of Cuba. They are natives of
the island and created great sensa-
tion when they first appeared here in
1900. Last season they again toured
the country and met with great sue
cess. They played nearly as many
games as the big league teams and
lost remarkably small percentage of
them. Their advent to this city
meant great expense to the manage
ment. of the locals, but it is thought
that the fame of the visitors will
prove great attraction and bring a
large crowd to the enclosed grounds.
Another date closed lately is June 6
when the we'll known West New
Yorks will be here to meet the Mar
ions. The foregoing gives the rooters
some idea of the good things that are
in store for them in baseball way
this summer.

House from the Judiciary committee
was an Administration measure"
1t is made clear that it will not be
administration measure and does not
represent entirely the views of the ad-
ministration on what antitrust legisla-
ton should be enacted by this Congress,
It can be said to be the hope of Presi-
dent cosevelt and his Cabinet that anti
trust legislation along the lines indicated
by Attorney General Knox in the bills
which he submitted to the House Judic-
larry Committee may be enacted at this
session.
Questions of policy regarding appoint
nents in the South also were discussed
by the Cabinet. The administration has
been considering the advisability of the
issuance of an order regarding htness
of candidates for office and the Prest-
dent talked the matter over with his ad-
visers today 1t was decided however,
not to promulgate any official pronuncia-
mento of that sort.
