TRIANGLE STOLEN BY NIGHT
FROM WASHINGTON HOSE GO.

esting career of over twenty years.
1t was originally the property of Lin
coin company. The Washingtons took
it from the Lincolns and gave it to
the Eureka Engine Company, of Tot
tenville. The Protection Hook and
Ladder Company went to Tottenville
and stole it from the Eureka COM
pany. The Lincolns then took it
from the Projections and it was af-
terward taken from the Lincolns by
the Keyport fire department.. The
Keyport company used it as a fire.
bell for some time.
Six or seven years ago the Wash
ingtons went to Keyport, cut down
the triangle from its position and
brought it to this city They have
had it since that time.
Seguine, who sleeps upstairs, said
he heard the men below, last night,
but thought he recognized their
voices as those of members of the
Washington company.
Several members of the Lineolns
denied this morning that they knew
anything about the disappearance of
the triangle. One member said that
he thinks the triangle is in Totem
vile or Metuchen. One of the men
accused of taking the relic said that
he knew nothing about the theft until
one of the Washingtons mentioned
the matter to him this morning.

by Harry Orchard, taking first the MUIR

ing back over some of the most hnpor-
tant incidents developed in the testi-
mouy.
II hardly need to tell you sensible
men, declared the pleader, that Pin
kerton detectives had nothing to do
with the assassination of Frank Steu-
nenberg. That is one of the most alb
surd of the many absurd things
brought into this case by the learned
counsel for the defense.
Senator Borah in laying the founda
tion for his argument OF conspiracy
pointed out that Orchard went to Cald
we'll from Denver and fresh from as
sOciation with the officers of the West
ern Federation of Miners, who regard

the defense admitted that he agreed
with Orchard to deceive Orchards
wife when Orchard wished to desert
her.

The famous old triangle, which
was the first fire bell ever used in
this city, had one more interesting
experience added to it's list last night
when it was stolen from the Wash
ington Hose Company's house on
Rector street.
The triangle has been kept for
some time past in the bedroom of
Richard Seguine, who sleeps in the
fire house. 1t was taken down last
Sunday so that it could appear in the
picture of the company, which was
taken Sunday morning. After the
picture had been taken some of the
members placed it in the cellar of the
house.
About II o'clock last night four
men went to the house and entered
by the side door, which was left
open. They went to the cellar and
took the triangle away The Wash
ington boys say that members of Lin
coin Engine Company took the tri-
angle and they declare that they will
have speedy revenge. Several of the
Lincolns were around the house when
the picture was taken Sunday and
it is principally for that reason that
the Washingtons suspect them of be-
ing the guilty parties.
The old triangle has had an inter-

HALL CHANGES

Architect J. X. Jensen has plans
well under way for the new forty
foot addition to city hall. According
to the plans as at present outlined,
the city Jail and police headquarters
will be moved TO the first floor of the

into Offices for city officials. A por-
tion of the second floor will be divid-
ed into offices and the present council
chamber may be made smaller The
third floor will be on large room, ac-
cording to present plans. The addi-
tion will be made TO look similar to

ly decided upon.

Detective from This City Taken
Into Custody at New Brunswick.

NEW BRUNSWICK, July 27:-
George E. Hartung. a state detective
of Perth Amboy, was handled by the
local police Thursday night. Po-
liceman John Wilcox took him on
Nelson street and said he was want
ed at police headquarters, where he
was detained for time, then re-
leased.
The detective and the policeman
seem to have been working at cross
purposes. Hartung says he saw a
young colored girl acting suspiciously
and decided to follow her up. But
Wilcox met the girl on Wall street
and arrested her. Then Wilcox came
back and got Hartung.
The girl proved to be Jennie Coy,
aged twenty, Metuchen colored girl
who has been in several scrapes. De-

BOAT ENTERS.

Captain Walters, of the Funnel
Yacht Club, said this morning that
the speed race for this afternoon may
have to be called off if the strong
northwest wind continues all the af-
ternoon as the speed boats are very
light and would be nearly swamped
in a heavy sea.
Nicholas loft has decided to enter

tective Hartung was very indignant
because he had been lugged in in this
manner. He was released, but not
until he had been entered on the po-
lice blotter as having been held as a
ID. P" the police abbreviation for
'disorderly person.
Hartung declared yesterday that
the affair was a piece of spite work.
He says he had difference with Of
ficer Wilcox once before. 1t is also
claimed by his friends that the state
detectives and local officials do not
work together any too smoothly, any
way.
Jennie Coy was arraigned before
Recorder Watson and sentenced to
fifteen days in the county jail for
being disorderly. She was intoxi-

on his right arm, and the right side
of his face was somewhat scratched
and bruised. He boarded a trolley

GREAT BATTESHIP FLEET SAILS.

Commenting on the sailing of the
great battleship feet under COM
mand>of Admiral Evans from Hamp-
ton Roads Monday on their long
cruise to the Pacific coast and the
far East the Wilmington Messenger
says:
The progress OF this feet of sixteen
battleships will he closely watched
by all the civilized governments of
the world. Their cruise will be in
the nature of an experiment. The
world will be anxious to know how
successfully these big engines Of war
canmake the Journey half way around
the world. Ii the trip is made with
out mishap it will tend to increase
general admiration and respect for
the American navy. 1T will be such
an undertaking as was never before
successfully carried out by the navy
OF any country.

Triumph Of Justice"

Commenting on the decision OF the
Supreme Court in reversing Judge
Longs $4,000 fine against the
Southern Railway, the Ralrigh Even
ing Times says this:
We believe that Justice has triump|l-
ed, that the law has been upheld,
that the people of North Carolina
have faith and confidence i'll their
highest legal tribunal and that they
will therefore approve, those who 40
not also applaud, the action OF the
Supreme Court of the State.
This paper believes that corpora
lions of every kind should be- treated
with the same measure of even-han-
deG Justice that is meted out to
individuals and to business enter
prises generally.
If the State of North Carolina is to
prosper and grow industrially aud
commercially in the future our courts
must stand for the doctrine.
We do not think that excessive
fines or class legislation will ever at
tract capital or industry or good
people to come into North Carolina
and locate and be of and with us.
We believe the decision just rem
dered by by our Supreme Court will
do much to advertise and establish
the fact that North Carolina courts
(the great safety-valve OF society
and business and civilization ITSELF
will not uphold either in the future.

How Expositions Pay.
Richmond TimeE Dispatch.


If the jamestown Exposition Was Il
financial failure it was far from being
unique in that regard. Only one Amer
lean Exposition ever made money.
That was the Tennessee Centennial,
held at Nashville in 1897 which closed
mp all its accounts and distributed a
6 per cent dividend among its stock
holders. The Omaha fair paid stock
holders 80 cents on the dollar, aided
by liberal contributions from the
railroads. Portland settled with it's
subscribers on the basis of 30 cents
on the dollar. Philadelphia paid
back nothing at all. These com
PARSONS are made by Mr. Frederick
J. Haskin, an independent journalist
of note, who takes anything but a
gloomy view OF the success of the
jamestown Ter-centennial AS. he
emphasizes, the fruits of an ExpOsi-
tion are not in any sense the i'm
mediate and direct returns. From
the Denver Fair he says, 'came a
mine boom, from the Portland an in
creased immigration in the West
from the jamestown, not only the
results enumerated, but future bene-
fits to Norfolk and Tidewater Vir-
ginia, that will mean the investment
of many millions there
1t is significant to note how the
unprecedented verdict upon the James
town Exposition has gradually
shifted in the last two or three
months, until we find it now char
acterized as having ''more nearly
achieved its general aim than any
fair the world hes known" Mr..
Haskin describes it as 1.-The most per-
feet OF the nations exhibits when
finally put in readiness" and his eN
pectation OF large future benefits to
accure fromit is founded on sound
reasoning. 1t is worth nothing at this
time that despite all obstacles and a
disappointingly small attendance,
more machinery was sold through
the Jamestown exhibits than at any
previous fair in the history of our
country.

Why Talk Of War.
Richmond News-Leader.

Richmond ews-Leader.
1t seems to US that the talk OF war
in connection with the departure of
the battle fleet of the Pacific is as
idle as it is wicked. Some of the
newspapers seem to be doing all they
can to bring about just that calamity
. by harping continually Oh it's posi-
bility and probability. We have no
quarrel with Japan. She has moth
ing to gain and nothing to lose by
seeking trouble with us. Her credit
and resources were strained by her
conflict with Russia and it would be
almost impossible for her to borrow
money anywhere in Europe to prose
cute war with us. Our credit is I'M
limited and hers would be dubious,
and would b. made even more so by
the prospects OF u long and costly
struggle and almost inevitable defeat.
The common sense of the world would
realize that this country which never
has been beaten, would not submit
to a defeat from Japan nor accept
even Il doubtful result The American
people would rather fight ten or
twenty years and. if necessary, build
three or four navies greater than
they have now than suffer the loss of
prestige and power that would come
with our overthrow. 1t would be Il
battle not only of peoples and gov
ernments but of races.
The japanese know all this as we'll
| as we. They know that we have
given them no cause for offense and
that we are IL peaceful and courteous
country, trying to live at peace with
our neighbors and the world. 1t
| would be absurd for them to under
| take to resent our sending our own
navy upon any high sea and on "A
visit to our own Western coast. We
see no possible excuse for turning
aside from the plain and obvious
facts and the frank and open state
ments OF the President and trying
to find some hidden or sinister design
behind this expedition. 1t is easy to
understand that a 1900 mile Jour
neY actually at sea will give the
best possible demonstration and test
, of the efficiency of the navy and offer
the best possible training for men
and officers. 1t is Il practice march
on water and nothing but the mere
desire to be sensational or to create
excitement unnecessarily can explain
the persistent purpose to regard it
as a hostile demonstration or as
meaning war.

The man who says that Norfolk
generally was guilty OF eXtortion
during the exposition must have
fallen into the hands of sharpers. Our
experience there, and it wasn't con
fined to u single hotel Or to one visit,
was that prices had not been raised
over the level OF pre-expOsition days.
AS in all cities and at all times it was
easy to buy fine things for which fine
prices had to be paid, but comforts
and even luXuries could be had all
during the exposition, and at reason
able figures.
