y. eANsEL ARRESTED ron NOT
REPORTING PURCHASE.
OF STOLEN REVOLVER
colored Man Suspected Of Burglar.
izIng Davis House Admits Dispos.
ing Of Stolen Goods-May Plead
Guilty to Petit Larceny.

From Thursdays Daily.
j. Gansel, a pawnlbroker of this
city, was fined 1925 in police court yes
terday morning for violating a city
ordinance which provides that all
articles purchased by pawnbrokers
must be reported to the chief Of po-
lice. Gansel's arrest was due, to the
disclosures made by William Reed,
who was arrested for burglarizing a
colored mans house in this city last
Monday afternoon,
Reed stated that Charles. Williams,
another colored man, who is under ar
rest on suspicion Of being implicated
in the burglary, sold a gun which was
stolen from thea Davis house to Can
sci, and the latter failed to report the
purchase Of these articles to the chief
Of police.
Chief Talgo called on the pawn
brokers Of this city more than a
week ago, and after presenting each
one of them with a copy Of the ordi-
nance, he informed them that here
after the ordinance would be rigidly
enforced. The ordinance was passed
by the city council In 1901 but has
never been enforced. The number Of
petty thefts and burglaries recently
necessitated. the enforcement Of the
ordinance in order to assist the police
in apprehending the culprits, and the
order OF the chief Of police vas the
result.
Must Report Purchases.
The chief Of police stated, after
Gansel had been convicted yesterday
morning, that unless every article
purchased by the p~awnbrokers Of
Billings is reported to the police here
after more arrests will follow and
more serious punishment than fines
will be imposed If the ohense Is re-
peated.
. Reed and Williams, 1t is said, admit
disposing Of the stolen property and
sharing in the proceeds Of the sale.
but each one declares that the other
burglarized the house and stole the
revolver, watch and rings. The re-
volver is the only part of the stolen.
property which has been recovered so
far, and the police are in doubt as to
whether it can be proven that the
watch was stolen.
AS there Is a lack Of sufficient EVIL
dence to convict the men on a burg
larry or grand larceny charge q COM
plant charging Williams with petit
larceny win be issued and he will.
probably be arraigned before Justice
Mann this morning. It is understood
that Williams has %signiiedS his In
tention Of entering a plea Of guilty
to a charge Of petit larceny.

POLICEMAN SHOOTS BURGLAR.
Gets Him Coming From Saloon Rob-
bed Four Times.

NEW YORK. August 29.-Patrolman.
Bernard Doyle of the Hamilton avenue
station, Brooklyn, caught a burglar COM
ing out of Anthony Ford's saloon. 25l
Van Brunt street early yesterday morn
ing, fought him and shot him when he
tried to escape
Ford's place had been robbed three
times since Sunday. Along about
o'clock yesterday morning Doyle. on the
watch for burglars. saw that panel had
been kicked out Of the back door of the
saloon. The policeman concluded that
some one was inside. and that he would
wait developments in a nearby hiding
place. Presently a man crept through
the opening in the door. deposited two
boxes OF cigars and bottle Of whisky
on the pavement and went back for more.
Doyle moved up closer. and when the
man appeared again grappled with him.
The man finally broke away from the
policeman and ran. Doyle shouted to
him to stop or he would shoot. The man
ran faster until the crack of the pistol.
when he dropped in his tracks. A patrol
wagon took him to the station. where he
said he was Olaf Peterson. a sailor OF
Norway From the station an ambu-
lance took him to the Long Island Col
lege Hospital. DIR. Progivis found the
bullet in Peterson's back and said that
the wound was not dangerous.
The police believe the man is respon-
sible for all the robberies at Ford's sa-
loon.

ATLANTIC CITY TO Be DRY
GOV. FORT SUBDUES DEFIANT
SUMMER RESORT.
Court Orders Issued That Saloons
Must Close Sunday in the Great
Seaside Municipality.

ATLANTIC CITY. August 29.-Twenty
four hours after Gov. Fort took his stand
that this city must close its saloons on
Sunday finds him winner Thursday
night his proclamation was considered
Joke. Today it is looked upon as stern
fact which cannot be ignored. and next
Sunday will be the dryest the resort has
ever seen.
The republican machine, which has
been running things politically, showed
fight even as late as this morning, but
some of the men high up were uneasy
and others were looking for chance to
back out at the right moment. Now they
are ready to bow to the governor and all
talk of defiance is over.
This became apparent when Judge
Enoch Higbie, the gangs choice for re-
election. came out with the statement
that the governor must be obeyed; that
tho time has come to close the drinking
places during the hours the law says they
shall be closed and that from now on he
would have no mercy upon any violator
of the liquor law.
This was not given out, 1t is pretty GER
tain. without consultation with men more
active in the county and city machine
than the 1uQge, So IL ID tdhCh as oiiSioA'
II IS believed there will be a meeting Of
the executive committee of the Royal
Arch and that body will issue orders to
the members to slow down absolutely on
Sunday and give the city taste of dry
ness The Royal Arch is the organization
TO which all liquor dealers belong.
The defiance Of the courts and the law
by the grand jury at Mays Landing yes
terday was joke and cause OF rejoice
ing last night and the grand jurymen
were heroes. Now 1t is realized that
when Justice Trenchard discharged the
Jury with condemnation" the defiance of
the law had reached its high-water mark
and that 1t will take long time to repair
the injury to the cause OF liberalism IN
liquor dealing matters in this state.
The Royal Arch Society. an organiza-
ton including 1870 Of the 24Os licensed
liquor dealers in Atlantic City. met today.
and decided to close their places OF bust
ness tomorrow They have appointed a
committee to confer with Mayor Stoy and
ask him to see that the other 40 liquor
dealers shall also close.
