DETECTIVES BUY
COSTLY "BOMDS"
Entrap Supposed Anarchist and
Discover That They Are
BunkOed

The anxiety Of the district attorneys
office over the rumored visit OF bomb
makers and bomb throwers TO the bay
cities for the purpose OF disposing un-
tremendously OF several persons of
high repute in financial circles ex-
detectives. delving deeply into the al
legged conspiracy, found that the bomb
maker was manufacturing package
not more harmful than seidlitz pow
der.
Word reached the district attorneys
office a week or so ago that an arch
anarchist living in Oakland was en-
gagged in making bombs to wreck the
physical embodiment of a number of
prominent capitalists. A corps of
sleuths was Immediately put on his
trail One of the more enterprising
of the detectives represented to the
bomb maker that he was desirous of
using a few select bombs for the ex-
termination OF District Attorney Lang
don and Francis J. Heney.
A contract price of 800 per bomb
was arranged for. The dreadful ma
chimes were delivered according to or
ders- The money was paid-marked
money--in the presence of witnesses
The deal was sealed. and, as the de-
tectives believed. so was the fate OF
the bomb maker.
Not to the city chemist. but TO the
inner Office of the district attorney
were the bombs carefully conveyed for
dissection. The inquest. however. re-
vealed nothing more dangerous in the
composition of the bombs than the
effervescent whizz of a bromo seltzer
powder
False pretenses? Maybe. for the dis
trict attorneys Office is out 5000 and
the bomb maker is still wandering
among sane and trusted citizens

Just as the automobile was about to
pass the wagon young Pochowski
jumped off from where he had been
riding and started to run across the
street to the sidewalk. He had not
noticed the automobile and he NOV
ed so quickly that he did not give
the chauffeur time to stop his ma
chine.
The boy ran directly In front OF
the auto and was knocked down. VIII

every aid possible was given him,
but it was evident to all that he was
badly hurt AS quickly as possible
he was hurried to Perth Amboy,

CHIEF BURKE
ENTHUSIASTIC
Tells Of Action Taken at Nation
al Convention Of Police
Department Heads.
HAD A PLEASANT JOURNEY

Chief of Police Burke arrived
home Saturday night from Detroit,
Mich, where he attended the Inter-
national Convention of the Chiefs of
Police.
The chief says he had fine time
and derived much benefit by being
present at the convention. One Of
the important features was the pass
ing of resolution to ask congress to
pass a law governing the carrying
and manufacturing of firearms. Chief
Burke says this will do away with
the sale of cheap guns, which are re-
sponsible for most of the crimes. The
plan is to have every revolver num-
bered and then, when necessary, its
owner can be traced. The reason
for asking congress to take action in
the matter is due to the fact that
nearly every municipality has differ
ent laws governing the carrying of
firearms which conflict and cause
considerable trouble to the police.
II had the pleasure of shaking
hands with Chief Shippey and his
son, of Chicago, who won fame by
killing the anarchists recently,
continued Chief Burke.
'The convention next year will be
held at Los Angeles, Cal, although
every effort was made to have it held
in the east. I witnessed the police
parade and inspection and was shown
about the city of Detroit by able
guide. We were given badge
which entitled us to everything in
the city free.
"On nv return trip was with a
party of ten Jersey chiefs, We left
Detroit at 8 o'clock Friday night on
the lake steamer Eastern States.

His Passionate Under Most Aus
piCiOuS Circumstances.
HAD GOOD SIZED CONGREGATIONS

greeted by good sized congregations
at all services In the Baptist church

asm in the work of the church and
that all would work in harmony for
the advancement of the denomina-
tional and the Christian interests in
this city.
The pastor referred to the church
debt of $1,400 and stated that it
would be an excellent start to begin
at once to clear this SO that future
work would not be hampered. A
blackboard was then produced upon
which were ten rows of ten
squares each. The people were then
asked to take share, each repre-
senting SIS, to be paid at the rate of
II a month. Within a very few min
utes four rows Of the squares had
been crossed out, represting $500
pledged.
Mr.. Bawden announced that a
friend of his in Bridgeton, who was
interested in the work, had promised
to give the last fifty dollars. Thus
$3.50 was raised at the morning SER
vice yesterday and still more was
raised at the evening service. The
rest will be raised by private sub
scription and it is expected the new
pastor will start work with the
church clear of debt.

Detectives Huff and Long are al
work on a peculiar case and have
been unable to throw much light on
the mysterious actions of two young
Slavish men who came here about
two weeks age and, after making
several strange deals, disappeared.
The two men, one being describ-
ed as tall and the other short, came
here during the week of May "a and
finally secured a boarding place near
the city hospital. After loafing
around for a week, they went to the
grocery store of Nicholas Horni at
20 Steadman place and tried to pur-
chase his business. For two days
they watched the store to ascertain
the extent of the patronage, and last
Sunday agreed to buy the store from
Mr. Horni for $1,000. They gave
him check for $500 on bank at
Cleveland, o., as part payment,
claiming that they would turn over
the rest in few days, as they were
to meet man on train and receive
large sum.
Since that day Mr.. Horni has not
seen either of the would-be purchas-
ers. He sent the check to the Saw
| ings Bank for deposit and learned a
few days later that it had gone to
protest, as no persons by that name
had an account in the bank at Cleve-
land.
Before leaving town the young
men became acquainted with cer-
tain State street saloonkeeper whom
they asked so go to Emil Sameth's
bank and identify them so that they
could get a $25 check cashed. At
first the saloonkeeper refused on the
grounds that he did not know them
very we'll The men said that they
would have plenty of money in a few
days and entreated him to oblige
them. The saloon man finally did SO
and Mr.. Sameth cashed the $40
check. Now the saloonkeeper is be-
wailing his loss.
Secretary Chrales K. Seaman, OF
the Perth Amboy Savings Bank, en-
gagged Detectives Huff and Long to
work up the case and the foregoing
story is tthe result of their inyestiga-
tions.
The two men said their home wai
Cleveland, o., and their actions Were
Indeed mysterious as, in spite of all
their work in connection with the
purchase of the store, they did not
obtain one penny for themselves.
1t is believed that they have left
town and other stories OF their act
ions are expected to come to light
soon.
