In the arrest of nine boys. ranging

subsequent CONCESSIONS. the police have
rounded up a band of youthful burglars
who have been operating in the IRON
bound District for several weeks. The
boys admit having committed at least
half dozen robberies, but tho police
believe they are guilty of number of
small robberies that have been COM
mitted during the past few WEEKS.
During this time butcher shops have
been entered and bologna and boiled
ham have been stolen, saloons have

to the police all three of these boys
have been before the court before.

Peter Genszass saloon, at ITO Ferry
street, was another place they admit
ted entering This place was robbed
of whiskey and cigars early yesterday

The members of the other gang op-
Grated on different lines. They were
more destructive and their plunder
was not so valuable. About 10 o'clock
last night the police were informed
that the plumbing shop of Stephen
Scheible, "a Mott street, had been en-
tered and about twenty-five feet Of
lead pipe removed. Patrolmen Mar.

LOSSES IN NAME
OF A WOMAN
WRECK FIRM
Brokers' Account Of $751;
900 OstensibIy for Book
keepers Wife.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10-That an ac-
count for 1857, 300, which was the direct
cause for the assignment of E. B.
Havens & Co., of the Stock Exchange,
was in the name of woman, the wife
of a trusted bookkeeper employed by
Havens & Co., became known today.
Criminal and civil proceedings are
expected to follow a meeting of the
creditors of the firm. to be held within
the next week or two.
The woman In whose name the ac-
count appeared is Mrs. NJ e. Fish, wife
of George F. Fish. who until the firm
went to the wall was one of the most
trusted employees. The Fish home is
at 453 West 10th street.
Fish left the employ of Havens &
Co. about the time the expert book
keepers began an examination of the
books. The examination soon began
to show irregularities. Whether these
will warrant criminal prosecution or
not remains to be seen. From the tenn
per of the creditors, however, 1t is al
most certain civil action will be started
against Mrs. Fish.
The Supreme Court records show that
the firms losses in speculation were
$647, ,443, of which 1857 900 lis charged
against Mrs. Fish. 1t is expected that
when the whole matter has been
threshed out an amazing story of fren-
zied finance will be uncovered. Whether
Mrs Fish was the frenzied financier or
whether her name was used by others
who sought to make profit is yet a
mystery. She denies that she ever
speculated.
For years Mrs. Fish was supposed to
be one of the firms best customers.
When 1t got into deep water Havens &
Co. were confronted by the womans
denial that she was in any way re-
sponslble for the account.
e. B. Havens still believes that the
account was bona fide, although this
view is not taken by some of the larg-
est creditors. The schedules show that
Fish lost sS3,034 in the stock market
while operating accounts in the names
of half dozen different customers.
1t is said that he managed his wife's
account, and the question of her lia-
bility, according to Herbert l.. Norton,
the assignee. hinges on whether or not
he mad the requisite authority.
When a reporter saw Assignee Nor
ton and asked him to explain the much
tangled condition of the firms affairs,
he replied:
"The schedules filed in the Supreme
Court tell the whole story. There Is
nothing to be added"

400" MEN IN ROW
DAVIS AND TOWNSEND IN
FIGHT IN WEST ORANGE.
Both Prominent in Business and Society.
Davis Charged with Striking Town
send in Face.

There was considerable excitement in
Central avenue, West Orange this morn
ing, when G. Hewlett Davis was seen by
bystanders to assault s. Percy Townsend
in front of the latters office. Just how
1t s,arted nobody appears to know, but
1t is likely it will be dvulged. as Mr..
Townsend has made a complaint against
Mr. Davis, charging the latter with as
saulting him, and also using abusive Ian
guage.
According to the complaint Mr.. Town
send swears that Mr. Davis struck him
three times with his right fist, causing
his nose to bleed and also injuring his
eyes.
There Is considerable gossip over the af-
fair, because of the prominence of the
two men, as they are each members of
Oranges 400"
Mr.. Davis Is a manufacturer of per-
forated paper for pianolas and has gained
a wide reputation through his business.
and Mr.. Townsend is equally well known
because of the lawn mowers that he
makes
Mr.. Davis has the reputation of being
one OF the most quiet and peace-loving
citizens of the Oranges. Last fall he was
a candidate for Mayor In West Orange
Mr. Townsend is also considered any
thing but pugilist.
There were quite a few spectators who
saw the scrap this morning, and they say
1t was very lively while 1t lasted.
Mr.. Davis was seen to meet Mr.. Town
send in front of the latters office, and,
after a few angry words uttered by Mr..
Davis. the latter's right arm was seen to
shoot out straight from the SHOULDER and
land on Mr.. Townsend's nose, from which
the blood came quickly. Then Mr.. Davis's
arm was seen to land again on Mr.. Town
sends right eve and again on the left
optic.
Mr.. Townsend. it seemed, was taken un-
awares as he did not appear to pupt up
any defence at all.
After Mr.. Davis finished his work he
walked away apparently satisfied.
Mr.. Davis lives in handsome house in
Llewellyn Park, West Orange, and Mr..
Townsend at Lawn Ridge road, Orange.

WOULD DANISH
ONE MEANSOF
SUICIDE
Essex AssembIyman for Law
on Death Route That
Many Select.

Proprietor of drug store in the Hill
section of the city, where there is a
great percentage of suicides. Assembly
man John Breunig. has come to the
conclusion that the sale of carbelic acid
must be prohibited by more stringent
laws than are now on the statute
books 1t is a poison used most gen.
orally by suicides.
The ease with which persons may get
the deadly poison is perhaps respon-
sible for it's general use. It's work is
quick, too.
Today Assemblyman Breunis was at
the municipal law department looking
up the laws on the subject. When the
Legislature reconvenes next week the
Essex representative will offer either a
separate bill or an amendmer. to the
laws of 1901 which cover the sale of
carboic, with the object Of preventing
the purchasing of the drug except on
a prescription or in per cent. solu-
tions.
Under the laws of 1901 any druggist
may sell carbolic acid provided he
labels 1t Poison" All then that a
person has to do is to go to a drug
store where they are known and give
some good reason for the use of the
acid The druggist, not suspecting the
purpose of the purchaser, will sell the
acid without further question
In many cases the purchaser have
either taken the poison in the street
Immediately upon buying or little
later in their homes. The acid perfo-
rates the stomach so quickly that the
percentage of deaths is very large.
With other drugs, such as paris green,
the effects are somewhat more tardy
giving the physician more Of a chance
to save his patient who took carbolic.
Assemblyman Breunig feels that II
druggists were prevented from selling
the acid except upon prescription, OF
greatly diluted, 1t would not be so easy
to obtain the poison.
"Why do you not make your pro-
vision apply to every poison?" sug-
gested q reporter.
81 will II find that the sale of any
quick and deadly drug is not prohibit
ed under the present laws" said As
semblyman Breunig.
"rhfs ensy sale and purchase of car
bolic acid should be stopped by law
he added. = 81 think I will have th'
support of druggists all over the Stat
! for this measure.
! pharmacists do not care to be un-
| conscious parties to suicides through
law. Like myself, they would welcome
such a measure as ! propose to intro
duce in the Legislature next week.

Some Old Soldiers Complain
That Their Food Is
Inferior.
500 ARE NOW INMATES
Maisr Rogers, the Superintend-
emf, Denies the Charges and
Would Welcome Pr0bers.
Funds Of Pensioners Not
Juggled With, lie Says.

AS a result of the work done by the
Hahn investigating committee there is
more or less gossip current affecting
all the institutions supported in whole
or part by the State, and among some,
of which criticisms have been heard,
is the New Jersey Home for Disabled
Soldiers at Kearny. Some of the
veterans in the institution have talked
of drafting a letter calling for action
by the Hahn committee. When Major
Peter F.. Rogers, the superintendent,
was asked about the complaints he
spoke frankly and freely and said he
would welcome any investigation that
might be made. He said the COM
plants arose probably from the en-
forcement of system in the institution.
AS there are 800 inmates in the place
system is necessary, though IL may be
irksome at times to those subjected
to 1t.
One complaint was that the pension
checks from the government were
"held up for ten or more days each
quarter; another related to the ac-
counting for moneys left by inmates
who died. and some of the veterans
also objected to the food furnished.
The principal kick would appear to be
against the rule relating to the receipt
of checks from the government and the
holding up" of the money. Some OF
the vets thought somebody was get
ting graft" in the form of interest on
the money for the third of the month.
The checks amount to more than $4,000
every quarter.

residents, ito give my next quarterly

If you were walking along leisurely,
whistllng softly, with your head thrown
high in the air, and you suddenly fell into
coal chute in the sidewalk and into the
coal bin, wouldn't it jar you, make you
swear and tear your hair? That's what
happened to Thomas Cannon young man.,
of Roseville avenue. early this morning, at
499 Orange street. And to add to his trou-
bes he was wearing a very light colorel
suit which was irreparably damaged when
Cannon appeared on the sidewalk, having
climbed through the hole into which he
fell.
The family living at the number given
