ROBBERY OF
r. f. OFFICE
AT SEWAREN
COHEN FREED
FROM CHARGE
Alleged Horse Thief Dis
charged by N. Y. hHagls-
trate Despite Indictment.
STARTS SUIT FOR $4,000

Despite the indictment handed
down by the Middlesex county grand
jury against Isaac Cohen, New
York stable proprietor, charged
with the theft of team of horses
from the lumber yard of w. j. Dom
nell, of Jefferson street, this city, he
was yesterday released from the
Harlem Detective Bureau on the
ground that there was no evidence
of his having been in this state when
the robbery was committed. Imme-
diately following his discharge he
started suit against Alonzo B. Nc
Dowell, superintendent of the lum-
Der yard and the complainant In the
case, to recover $4,000 damages
for false arrest and Imprisonment.
Cohen was arraigned before
Magistrate O'Connell yesterday at
ternoon in the Harlem police court
at an adjourned hearing. Detective
Sergeant John Huff, of the local
police force, who was instrumental
in the stable proprietor's arrest, ap-
peared against him, armed with a
copy of the indictment handed down
by the grand jury at New Bruins
wick. The indictment was secured
under arrest in New York
Although there was an abundance
of circumstantial evidence against
the stable owner, Magistrate O'Con-
nell discharged him. inasmuch as
there were no witnesses or evidence
to prove that he had been in New
Jersey on August 25, when the
horses were taken. At the close of
the hearing Mcdowell was served
with a summons to appear in the
false arrest and Imprisonment suit
Under the conditions governing
his discharge, Cohen cannot be ar
rested again on charge of having
stolen the animals. Last night the
animal said to have been found in
the cellar of Cohen's stable, at S13-
315 East 122nd. street, was return
ed to Donnell's yard.
The horse, one OF the team stolen
from this city on August 25, was
located, according to Detective Huff,
in Cohen's stable when he and
Detective John Allen, of the Harlem
Detective Bureau, went in search Of
the animal last Sunday morning In
the guise of health inspectors. With
the horse was found, he says, a
buggy belonging to Polkowitz Broth
ers, stolen at the same time as the
Donnell team, and two sets of har-
ness. The other team horse and a
buggy belonging to Donnell could
not be located.

Off BRUNSWICK AVE.

The Board of Freeholders, in its
endeavor to keep county roads in
good shape, is experimenting with
the use of Asphaltoilene, a new top
dressing that also acts as a binder.
The new product is being tried out
on New Brunswick avenue, from the
Lehigh Valley railroad westward to
the city's boundary line. While it
is being put on the freeholders ad-
wise drivers to make use of the
newly improved road from Smith
street, through Keasbey to Rogan's s
corner, on the Amboy-Metuchen

oughfare has been put in first-class
shape and ranks with the best roads
in Middlesex.
All work ON the new road has
been completed and travellers may
take to it at any time Especially
at this time, while Asphaltoilene is
being put on New Brunswick ave-
nue..
Asphaltoilene is thick and
sticky preparation, made for the
dressing of roads. 1t contains as
phalt and oil and after having been
laid for a time forms a crust over
the road that not only lays the dust
but acts as binder in holding the
road together. Drivers of vehicles
who attempt to go through it while

MAIL BOXES
Postmaster Tice Notified by
Government to Strictly
Enforce the Rule.
SAVE TIME FOR CARRIERS

Uncle Sam is going to have en-
forced the rule to place letter boxes
or slots tat all places where mail is
to be delivered, so if you wish to
have his carriers continue to deliver
mail at your door, you had better
heed this warning. Postmaster
George H. Tice has received official
notice that this rule must be en-
forced, for carriers now lose too
much time on their routes, waiting
to ring door bells, etc. AS a means
of compelling one and all to obey
the rule, mail will only be delivered
at such places as contain letter boxes
or receptacles of some kind, after a
reasonable length of time has been
given.

years past. He has only compelled
the use of them in apartment and
tenement houses, but now his leni-
ency ceases and all residences, stores
and places of business must display
mail receptacle of some kind. A
slot in a door, with box on the in
side is satisfactory.
BY the enforcement of this rule,
carriers will be enabled to deliver
much more matter, and with the
naming of two new carriers and the
Inauguration of Mr., Tice's new sys-
TEN of mail delivery, the local pos
tai department will be more efficient
than ever and the city will benefit
materially as the result.

tunity to save BalHnger from the FIVE
minority members who on Wednesday

linger unfit and voted to recommend to
congress his dismissal as a member of
President Taft's cabinet This action
was subsequently declared void by the
chairman, he ruling that a quorum
was not present when the vote was
taken
Nelson, on hearing from Root, wired
him to stop off at Chicago and then
called off the meeting Of the commit
tee here and called a meeting In the
Auditorium Annex hotel in Chicago for

ever, declare they are legally in ses-
sion as the committee and that they
will continue their deliberations here

session in Minneapolis and make their
report.

as secretary of the interior, that he is
not deserving of public confidence and
that he should be requested by the
