W. r. MURRAY'S HOUSE ROBBED.
so Much swaE TIA ken That the Thieves
Must Have Had q Wagon.

The fifteenth robbery OF the month 90
CURED in Freeport, l.. l., Saturday night
when burglars entered the summer home
OF Matthew T. Murray, vice. president OF
the Bedford Coal Corporation OF New York.
The house is in South Ocean avenue. With
his wife, two sons and three daughters he
was there for the holidays. His town
house is BAT West Eighty-fourth street.
The burglars first tried TO gain entrance
through the library window, but broke
the glass and one evidently cut himself.
From here they went to the front door,
where with the aid of an augcr holes were
bored around the lock and it was removed.
From the room of one OF the daughters
upstairs a gold watch, several rings and
some money we're taken. From the room
occupied by the boys two gold watches
were taken. From appearances an entrance
to Mr.. and Mrs. Murray's room was at
tempted. A bloody towel showed that the
men had visited the bathroom.
The dining room was depleted of
valuables. Among the things taken were
three golf club prize cups. One was won
by Albert Murray from the Englewood
club and the two others by Mr.. Murray
from the Freeport club. Fifty pieces
Of silverware marked with the Murray
initials and sixty unmarked pieces were
taken. Among the silverware was much
that was priced on account Of its asso-
Citations.
Mr.. Murray placed his loss at g., 500. He
said he was first to awaken yesterday
morning and immediately he deteote d a
queer odor in the air, much resembling that
Of Chloroform. On going down stairs he
discovered the two doors open and il
dawned upon him that thieves had visited
the place. Mr.. Murray said the thieves
must have had some sort OF vehicle, poss
bly, an automobile, to get away with so
much loot

Driver Hands Over $50 nj the Points OF a
ReNOIVers

According to a story told 20 the Newark
police early yesterday morning, three
masked highwaymen held UP delivery
wagon at the East Orange line in Central

points of revolvers compelled Hayden T..
Handy, the driver, To- hand over $50, which
represented a portion of his collections on
the delivery Of {. o. ID. Christmas orders
for the firm Of Hahne 4 Co. On the wagon
with Handy was William Smith, an assist
ant. He corroborated the story Handy
told to Desk Sergeant Tracy at police head
quarters more tkan an hour after the holdup
had taken place.
The story of the alleged victims was that
they were driving along Central avenue
near Grove street, after having made theiI
last delivery, when they noticed three men
standing In "A lonely part OF the avenue.
A trolley car approached and PASSED, and
when It had travelled some distance away
the three men suddenly got busy around
the wagon. Handy and Smith at the same
time discovered that the three men wore
masks and carried revoivers. One Of the
men seized the horses birdie, another
lcvelled his revolver at the two men on the
drivers seat and the third came close to
Handy and Smith and demanded all the
money they had.
Menaced by the revolver in close proX-
unity 10 his head, Handy said he turned
over TO the robber "A roll Of bills and some
silver, amounting in all to $50, He told the
robber he had no more money, which he
said was not the truth, as in another pocket
he retained "A portion of his collections, in
cludng 500 in money and some checks
Handy said the three men, all keeping
their reVolVers in sight, then compelled
him to drive through Grove street, "A lonely
road at that point which skirts the Cemetery
of the Holy Sepulchre. Then when the
lights of South Orange avenue. busy
thoroughfare came into sight. the three
men, who had not removed their masks all

FIGHT OVER WHISKEY LABEL
The blends" Protest Against Labelling
Their Product Limitation Whiskey."

Their Product Limitation Whiskey."
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The so-called
whskey trust and the manufacturers OF
the blended products are engaged in a fight
before the Department of Agriculture the
outcome OF which is awaited with great in
terest The point at issue Is whether or
not under the provisions Of the Pure Food
act blend containing anything but
straight whiskevs shall be labelled -imta-
ton whskey." Representatives Of the
whskey trust, said TO be composed ex-
clusively Of dealers in the straight goods,
contend that such a ruling is imperative
under the law. The blends" insist that
the enforcement Of such an order would
put them out OF business.
All the rulings issued so far in accordance
with the terms of the pure food act have
proceeded along the line that packages con-
tanning food products shall be labelled
for what they are and not for what they are
not In other words il has been held by
the Secretary of Agriculture who has acted
on the adv ice of Chief Chemist Harvey W.
Wiley, that the label on a package containing
a food product should state the constituents
Of such product. Ii appears to be the
purpose of the Secretary OF Agriculture
10 hold to this principle in the case of
whiskey and other intoxicating beverages.
However, his firNl decision in the case has
not been announced.
The evidence submitted shows that sew
ersl well known blends ere the result Of a
union Of two or more straight whiskies.
Others contain in addition 70 "straights"
such compounds as caramel neutral spirits
and other ingredients that tend 70 make
what is known in the trade as "kill-me-
quick Jersey lightning and the like.
It is such that DR., Wiley believes should he
