Customs Officers Learn Two Offenders of Nght-Light Laws
Had Vessels Out on Newark Bay With
out Permission of Owners.

Two novel cases of joy riding were
disclosed today. when, as the result of
the night expedition conducted last
Sunday by the customs cutter Thelma,
the local United States customs officials
demanded explanations as to why some
ten motor boats were without lights
when they came up Newark bay Sun
day night. Two of the particularly
fragrant cases of breach of the night
motor boat light laws, committed by
those on board the Elsie M. and the
Olga K, developed into cases of al
legged stolen rides. The owner of the
Elsie M, Jacob Brunnisholz, gave ir-
REPUTABLE evidence that he was in bed
on Sunday night, through the testimony
of his aunt, Mrs. Carrie Brunnisholz,
with whom he lives at 1O7 Murray
street.
When informed last night that her
nephew's boat had become liable to a
500 fine, Mrs. Brunnisholz was dumb
founded.
Who could have had the boat out?''
she said. MY Jacob was here asleep.
It must have been taken out by some
one else. Wait till Jacob learns
about it."
Thomas Kirkman, Of 81 Brill street,

800? You're dreaming. 1 was at hom,
Sunday night"
In accordance with the policy de-
termined on by Collector Smith and
his chief deputy, Freed, all the &C.
cused were let off with a warning, In
view of the fact that this constitutes
their first breach, and that the GUS
toms house has just been empowered
to enforce the new laws.
One Of the phases of the new Law
which has been overlooked by many
and which the customs house officers
intend to strictly enforce, applies tc
riding lights for boats at anchor. The
law provides that motor boats shall
carry a white light, visible for a mile
around the horizon from all points,
and not twenty feet above the hull.
The boats, with their owners which
became liable to a fine of 800 for vio-
lations of the new law, and whose own
ers have given satisfactory explana-
lions to the collector, follow: The
Ripple, Conrad Gray, Kearny, owner;
the Cora, George Halsted, Plum street,
this city, owner; the Minnie B., H. NJ
Heff1ey, East Rutherford: the Three
Brothers, 261 Eighth street, South
Brooklyn, reported to the New York
Lembecht avenue, reported to New

& Garrison, Jersey City.
The government launch Thelma will
make another trip shortly. but just
when the customs officials refuse to
divulge.

wholesome and entirely out of place on
an article of food that is intended to
