kets filled with the missing goods
The baskets were those taken from

which have not been recovered, the
detectives are trying to trace. The
boys say they lost one and gave two
others to someone in Brooklyn. An
other watch that the boys gave away
was turned over to the police by the
person who received 1t, last night.
The boys told Detective Long that
they had made no attempt to dispose
of their loot as they wanted to get
a good lot of it and then take it out
of town. With the money they Sc
cured they told the detective they
expected to go to ranch in Wyom-

fully loaded, stuffed in the front of
his trousers and twenty-five calibre

HEALTH DEPT.
OFFICERS BUSY
New Deputy, J. J. Clark, In
~spocts Butcher Shops and
Other Places.
TO ABATE NUlSANCES

Deputy Health Inspector J. ]. Clark,
who succeeded O. E. Brewster, Is after
persons who harbor nuisances in this
city. The warm weather has caused the
health authorities to become unusually
active and, starting this morning, Depu-
ty Clark swooped down on the business
section. He started with the inspection
of an old alleged nuisance at the north
east corner Of Smith and State streets,
that has often been complained of. The
nuisance is caused, it is declared, by
the throwing Of refuse into the rear
yard. The property is in litigation and
it is a difficult matter to compel the
owners to clean up, says the deputy.
Inspector Clark made similar inspec-
tions along Smith street today and
found conditions in need of improve
ment in many cases.
Mr.. Clark has looked over the ice
boxes Of nearly every butcher shop in
the city and he finds that the same un-
sanitary conditions prevail in most all
cases. In each instance he found that
meat had been, or was, strewn about
the ice box floor. 1t laid on wooden
gratings, about an inch from the origi.
nal floor. The slatted-grating is used
as floor and is walked upon by those
employed in the stores. 1t was such
unsanitary conditions in butcher shops
that the Board Of Health complained
about at their last meeting
The abandoned dump In First and
Second streets is declared by the health
department to be in pretty good condi-
tion.
In North Amboy at the Cortlandt
street grounds, dumping is going on,
under the. supervision of the health
department and the long prevailing
Nuisance there will soon be abated.

the rig at the time, but the owner
soon came and claimed his property.

turned turtle. The driver was thrown
clear of the machine but the other three,
On regaining their senses, found them
selves under it. Kettering managed to
