inspection Saturday night:
. At 9:35 O'Clock Saturday night I
met Mr.. Mulchahey, president Of the
excise boay1. He asked me IL there
were any dances going on in North AM
boy. l told him l did not know as /
had just arrived Mr.. Mulchahey and
! made an investigation. We went to
Anton Kisko's, corner Of Hall avenue
and Penn street. There was not any mu-
sic in the hall. When we came back
there was large crowd in the saloon
and outside, so we don 7 know whether
there was any music before we came
from there.
g We went to l.. Zaremba 3, SO Cath
crime street, where we found the place
crowded with people, and there was mu-
sic and dancing going on. i took q
look around the place and found SONS
young girls about twelve or fourteen
years old. L told them to leave the
place, So they did. He had the hall
cleared at 1880 p. m, but after they
went outside, / took some fellow home
because there was a gang laying for
him. When l came to the place stones
and pickets were in progress, but as
soon as thy saw me they escaped Ne
one was hurt. -
1t is highly probable that at the next
meeting of the excise board the matter
will be taken up.

a yacht captain, was held in default
OF $4,000 bail by Recorder Pickers-

for the past week or SO. A warrant
was sworn out for his arrest Saturday
afternoon and through ruse he was
lured to this city yesterday after

tion on a yacht, but when he left the
ferryboat at the foot Of Smith street
Detectives Huff and Long were in
waiting and Immediately arrested
him.
The prisoner was taken to the
county jail this morning. Larson is
said to have abused eleven boys in
all and other complaints are to be
made against him. He was held un-
der an assault and battery charge, as

provide for the real offense for which
he was arrested. Montgomery's son

William LembCke, Formerly
of This City, Meets Sud-
den Death in Elizabeth.
STEAMFITTER AT THE
BARRETT PAPER PLANT
His Neck Broken in Fall and
Head Injured Has Many
Relatives Here.

William Lembcke, twenty-nine
years old, native of this city, was
killed by fall from scaffold at the
Barrett Manufacturing Company's
paper plant in Elizabeth yesterday
morning, between and 10 o'clock
His neck was broken by the fall and
his head was injured. He died on
the way to the Alexian Brothers hos
pital in Elizabeth.
Lembcke, who has several broth
ers, a sister and other relatives living
in this city, was working as a steam
filter for the Barrett Company. The
first news of the accident reached
this city last night, when Axel Lem
bcke, his brother, received brief
telegram from Elizabeth stating that
his brother, William, had been killed.
Walter and Axel Lembcke, brothers
of the dead man, went to Elizabeth
this morning, but were unable to
learn much about the accident. They
went to their brothers home at 1870
Smith street, Elizabeth, where the
body had been taken. William
Lembcke is survived by a widow and
two sons, Francis, six years old, and
Ray, about two years old; and Axel,
Walter and Richard, brothers; to-
gether with Mrs. Cora Peterson, of
Jersey City; Mrs. May Noble; and
Mrs. Emily Rossi, the latter of Perth
Amboy, sisters.
The deceased had been born in this
city and lived here until about nine
years ago, when he moved to Eliza
beth, where he had since been work
ing at several trades. He was the
youngest of the four boys In his
family and was well-known and liked
in this city, where he had several
friends. He was member of Myrtle
Camp, Woodmen of the World, of
Elizabeth, and Opechee Tribe, Inde-
pendent Order of Red Men, also of
Elizabeth. Both organizations are
taking suitable action for his burial,
which will most probably take place
In Elizabeth. Arrangements are now
being made.
