THIEVES SPEND
AN ACTIVE WEEK
OVER THE RIVER
Infest Harrison, Committing Half
a Dozen RObberies in
Few Days.

Burglars entered three homes in Har-
rison early today, but were successful
in securing booty in only one house.
This makes half a dozen places
broken into within few days.
The homes entered were those of Mrs.
John Wade, of III Harrison avenue;
Charles Fl. Stout, PA Warren street,
and Mrs. Thomas Kellett, of 236 New
Jersey Railroad avenue At Mrs.
Wade's home the thieves stole two
sweaters and small bank, containing
$3.50.
About 3 o'clock Mrs. Wade, who is
the widow of former Councilman John
Wade, of Harrison, and sister, of
former State Senator Michael T. Bar
rett, of this city, was awakened by a
strange sound and, on arising, she
heard footsteps in the house. She hur-
gtedly slipped on a wrapper and ran
downstairs. She heard the front hall
door slam. and, realizing that burglars
had been in the house. she telephoned
for the Harrison police. She then
looked at the rear window and saw a
tall man dressed in a dark overcoat
jumping over the fence into Jersey
street.
Mrs. wade shouted at the INTRUDER
to come back, but he paid no heed to
her and quickly disappeared. Mrs.
Wade said today that she also noticed
the shadow of a man along her neigh
boris fence. She then found that en-
trance had been effected through a
rear window. and that the stolen arti-
cles had been secured from a room
downstairs.
At the Stout home, entrance was
gained through a side window. Mr..
Stout arose from his sleep about
O'Clock and observed a light in the
parlor moving around. He later dis
covered that the kitchen door was
opened. The thief was frightened
away.
Mrs. Kelett, at 6 o'clock today, found
ahat a rear window was open, but she
missed nothing.

DID NOT CARE TO .
RETAIN HIS JOB
WITHOUT SALARY
Edward F. McKeOn, Auditor OF
East Newark, Resigns for
Own Reasons.

Because he was not reappointed the
first of the year, but Obliged to hold
over and for the reasoI that his salary
was not designated, Edward F. Nc
Keon, of Harrison, resigned his posi-
tion as auditor of the borough of East
Newark. at Il meeting of the East New
ark Borough Council last night. ON
motion of Councilman Philip I'll. Nc
Glennon, chairman of the finance conf
nlittee, the resignation was accepted,
Councilman McGlennon saying:
st wish to express regrets at the loss
of such a good efficient officer"
McKeon was appointed auditor Of
the borough about four years ago, and
has always been looked upon as a
good official New Years Day, when
the East Newark Council reorganized,
several appointments were made, but
McKeon was not named, neither was
a successor chosen, but Mc&eon held
over.
a. the first regular meeting in Jan
uary, Mayor Cornelius A. McGlennon
nominated McKeon, and he was ap-
pointed, but no salary was fixed. 1t Is
thought that because of the fact that
no compensation was named that ;nis
caused the auditor to feel slighted.
Another cause for his quitting, 1t is
said is because he was not inclined
to perform his duties as auditor while
in a precarious position as to whether
his salary would be placed or not He
was receiving $120 a year.
McKeon gave no reasons in his res
ignation for quitting.
