STOLEN GEMS ARE

Police Chief Bamford, of West
Orange, Still Working on
Morgan Robbery.

In his efforts to secure some of the
diamond jewelry stolen by the noto
rious crook, Edgar Bell, alias Arthur
Lane, now in jail In London, who IS
accused of stealing jewels worth $4,000
from the home of Charles Morgan in
Luddington road. West Orange, a year
ago, Police Chief Bamford. of that
town. has located about $4,000 worth of
jewelry that Bell is supposed to have
stolen, and which is located in Hudson
County. Bell made a practise of re-
moving all diamonds from the articles
he stole. and the ones located by Chief
Bamford are all unset making it quite
hard to identify them.
Though it Is thought Bell will not be
brought back to this country for trial,
which Judge Ten Eycl< and Prosecutor
Mott are anxious TO have done, the
police of Philadelphia are taking an
interest in the affair and have sent a
request to Chief Bamford asking him
how much of the expense West Orange
will pay to get Bell back in this coun-
try. The Philadelphia police have had
few robberies which they lay at Bells
| door.

were found near to Moorestown station
the pockets had been turned inside out
and only five cents was found He was
not a drinking man, and seemed per-
fectly normal when he left Smith, his
partner.
While Chief of Police Conway doubts
the assumption that Flynn might have
been sandbagged by tramps, detectives
are making a thorough Investigation.
1t is pointed out that there are many
unemployed men in Moorestown now,
and that perhaps some desperate char
acter might have coveted the money.
Flynn had been a mail carrier for

Troops Aid state Authorities.


Washington. June 30.-By direction
OF President Roosevelt, Secretary OF
War Taft has issued orders to the
commanding general of the depart
ment OF Texas. at San Antonio, to
send a sufficient number of troops
to Del Rio. FL Paso and other points
in Texas to aid the state authorities
in preserving order.
The action was decided upon as q
result of the request from the Mexi-
can government that the United
states do its utmost to prevent any
violation OF the neutrality laws. The
request of the Mexican government
was referred to the attorney general
by the state department and the gov
ernor of Texas in the meantime WAS
asked to aid in compelling obedience
to the law
The order of the president sending
troops to the border are understood to
have been made upon the recommend
alton Of the attorney general
Brig. Gen A. l.. Meyer, in COM
mAnd OF the department OF Texas. is
authorized to ascertain the number Of
troops necessary at Del Rio and FL
Paso, and also to send troops TO any
other points along the Mexico-Texas
border II found advisable. The fed
eral troops will act under the direction
OF the United States marshal and
United States district attorney. Their
presence will also do much to pre-
vent any outbreaks within United
States territory and will be OF mate
rial assistance in the event that rev.
olutionists should cross the border.
Del Rio is directly opposite Las
vacas. Mex, where the principal dis
turbances have occurred.

washington, June 30.-There Is a
possibility that United States troops
may be called on to arrest any Of the
Mexican revolutionists who may cross
the border In the EFFORT TO escape from
the Mexican authorities. II can not
be learned that any actual orders TO
this effect have been given, as none
of the officials having to do with the
matter Is willing to discuss just what
is being done except that every step
possible is being taken to see that
the neutrality laws shall be enforced.
The United States authorities are sin
cerely working TO this end and assur-
ances have been received from the
attorney general OF the United States
and Gov. Campbell of Texas that ev-
erything will be done to compel a
strict enforcement Of the law. Sew
eral military posts are in proximity
to the border of Texas touching the
state of Coahuila, where the Mexican
revolutionists seem to be doing the
most Of their work and troops may
be made ready quickly for any service
required of them. They include the
men at Fort Sam Houston, Fort Bliss
and at Fort Clarke. Senior Godoy, the
Mexican charge at Washington, had
another talk with Acting Secretary
Adee OF the state department Mon
day, at which the situation was dis
cussed.
Mexico and the United States have
an agreement whereby the troops OF
either country may cross the boundary
of the other in pursuit Of hostile In
dams, which may serve as the basis
for any steps that might be taken
in assisting Mexico to capture the
revolutionists.
