Each of the two brotherhoods, firemen and

the company and the organization are to be
settled by conference of committees repre-

The firemen's brotherhood demands that
the 800 engineers who are members of their

SIMPLY A CHEAP THIEF.
This Famous" Burglar Turns Out to
Be Poor Specimen.

Elizabeth, n. j.. Nov. 21.-Al Snlaliey
known in red ink and job type as AL
fred Porch Smalley. burglar. who has
been in the county Jail here for two
weeks. awoke. yesterday. and found
himself famous. There were at least
half a dozen requests to interview him.
while photographers unshipped cargo
in the Jail yard. Only by authority of
a court order does Jersey justice allow
a prisoner to be interviewed or photo
graphed except as 2 record for the
rogues gallery. Judge Vail would not
give an order, and the photographers
sailed away.
Smalley.- described in prints of today
as 4 society leader. college graduate.
scion of u family OF wealth and blue
blood. but who was actually a sales
man for a typewriter house before he
got into trouble, has confessed to two
rohberies in Elizabeth. one in Bayonne
and one in Clayton. N. J., his former
home! The loot was not intrnSically
of great value in any case. -,....i
Several burglaries had been commit
ted in the Germantown part of Phila-
delnhia just previous to the time that
Smalley was arrested. He was taken
into custody ut Milton, Pa, and held
in Philadelphia more than week be-
fore extraditiOn papers were obtained
to take him to Elizabeth. Smalley had
therefore been in custody three weeks
before the news reached Clayton. a few
days ago. Then Frederick H. Moore
Il former friend of the man, came here
to investigate.
Smalley is a cheap burglar. and be-
cause he knew the way i'm Moores was
the house he had robbed in Clayton
The story leaked into Philadelphia on
Sunday, and Immediately the German
town rchberies were chalked up to him.
The captain of police in the German
town precinct said over the telephone
to the police here, this afternoon. that
the stories about Smalley. so far as
operations in Philadelphia were con-
cerned. were hot air.
Picking up the trai! i'm Jersey. the
story that a society woman in Eliza
beth sheltered Smalley while he was
peddling typewriter supplies and try
ing to break into houses has been in
vestigatcd and found to be false. There
is a woman whose husband sold che
roots and candy whom Smallcy visited
occasionally, but the police say she did
not shelter him. That woman. the po-
lice say. did get into row with her
husband because she talked too much
with Smalley. but if any action for
divorce is taken il will hardly be re-
garded as sensational
The story that Smalley was accom-
panied by woman in mans clothing,
who was his pal in the rObberies. has
also been found to be false. All the
other stories that have been printed
concerning Smalley, except that he has
committed a few burglaries because the
typewriter business was slow. and that
he has flirted with other woman be-
sides legal wife, are also false.

live to see its completion. The granite
ledge to which reference was made Il few

a depth of 40 feet land distance of J.
miles. making IL task which could not be
performed in less than IS years from The
time that the e2-rtb- excavation hid been
carried to the point where the removal
OF this stone could begin. This is only

can tell Mr. Hughes few things. The
place where he should turn his search

the insurance companies as on the i'll

blamc-Gsually to blame whether it's
officials knew the things were going on
or not: because if they did not they
were Incompetent"
