ent, the hearing Of the two trolley
conductors on charges of assault
preferred by Detective Long and Pa
trolman Meshrow, was not held at
10 o'clock this morning, as sched-
uled, but was postponed until s
o'clock this afternoon. City Attor-
ney G. @. Hommann was communi-
Gated with yesterday by representa-
tives Of the legal department Of the
p. S. G. and consented to adjourn
the case until this afternoon. Later
he was asked to put the hearing Off
until next week, but refused.
Mr.. Hommann notified Chief
Burke this morning Of the adjourn
ment and the latter said that the
police would continue to ride on the
trolleys free in the meantime and
would make charges against any
conductor who put them off. AS
told in yesterdays NEWS, the Pub
lie Service recently issued orders
that only uniformed policemen,
while On duty, could ride free. AS a
result, Detective Long and Patrol
man Meshrow, neither of whom
wear uniforms, were elected from
cars Saturday. Charges of assault
against the conductors followed.

Elusive Lucy" the celebrated
Enigma Girl, is now in Perth Amboy
and the quest is on, the most interest
ing newspaper enterprise ever inaug-
urated in the country is on and thous-
ands of people are alert in the hope
that they may be able to identify Miss
Lucy and claim the reward offered by
the EVENING NEWS for her identi-
ficatiOn
The fact that this clever young wo-
man who has baffled the inguennity Of
many Of the best detectives in this
country in searches that have lasted for
weeks was sufficient to arouse this en-
tire community to high pitch Of ex-
citement when the announcement was
made that she was coming here under
the auspices of the EVENING NEWS.
1t is safe to say that while Lucy stays
in Perth Amboy everyone will be on
the ''qui vive," and the EVENING
NEWS, known as the leading and most
progressive newspaper in Perth Am
boy will be more talked of than ever.
The greeting given "Elusive Lucy
upon her arrival in this city was con-
elusive proof that every person in Perth
Anlboy reads the EVENING NEWS.
The crowds on the streets this noon
saw her as she passed and it is expected
that there will be big crowd at the
corner of State and Smith streets to
watch for her tonight.

BY ELUSIVE LUCY.

We'll. this Is certainly a beauti-
full place. Why, I never dreamed of
visiting such prosperous city. The
streets are so nice and wide, not the
way they generally are in SO many
towns Of less than 10000 which
makes the place appear SO close and
uncomfortable.
"My experience the first few hours
in Perth Amboy have been most ex-
hilarating," said the mysterious one
to one Of the EVENING NEWS
representatives. Il see that / have
been well advertised and evidently
the NEWS Is widely read. for every
one seemed to be expecting me.
have heard considerable about Perth
Amboy, but this Is my first visit
here, and l like the city from what
have seen Of it, very much. The
business district is so we'll laid out.
1t has not Just one business street,
as so many towns of this size gener-
ally have, but the business seems to
be well scattered and over a large
territory. The town looks progress
sive. In fact, 1t is 80 surprisingly
different from what I expected. 1t
is indeed a fne-Place and the citi-
zens should be proud OF 1t. l am ex-
tremely delighted that came here
and expect to have a pleasant time
during my stay in Perth Amboy.
Pleased With The Auto.
"And maybe l didn't enjoy that
ride in the Staver-Chicago which
was put at my disposal by the Pack
er House Garage, for which I am
indebted to them. l know from past
experience what a tiresome Job it is
to ride all around a city for several
hours after travelling on train for
six or seven hours, and l was agree
ably surprised to find such a hand
some and comfortable auto as the
Staver-C Chicago, which was awaiting
me at the depot. The car is not only
roomy and neat in appearance, but it
is such an easy riding car. One can
ride in this beautiful car with the
most of comfort. l must say that
the auto is the most essential thing
in the whole game, for ! have to rely
on this to make quick getaways at
times, and to do this one must have
car that will respond to any emer-
gency that may turn up, such as hill
climbing, fording creeks, bad roads,
etc. These are some OF the stunts
which ! may be compelled to do
while in this city, and If any of the
local auto owners care to give chase
at any time they are most welcome,
but let me impress upon their minds
that 1t will be Staver Chicago they
will be chasing, with Chester Gillis
at the wheel"

City Engineer to Draw
Plans for Bridge.
L. v. n. R. MEN TO CONFER
--OTHER MATTERS

Residents of the northwestern
section Of the city are anxious to
have Convery place extended from
Sayre avenue southerly across the
Lehigh Valley railroad to Smith
street and in order to ascertain just
what steps were being taken in the
matter a delegation of property own
ers of that locality, with Martin
Momberg as spokesman, appeared at
a meeting of the Board of Aldermen
last night. Mr.. Momberg after fur
ther action had been taken by the
ment stated the reason for the visit
Alderman Larson brought up the
matter during the meeting prior to
Mr.. Mombergs remarks and said
that he thought something further
should be done in the matter. Some
time ago, he said an ordinance pro-
viding for the extension of the street
was given its first reading but that
since then the matter had not been
further acted on. The alderman
added that he had understood that
the city engineer was to prepare
sketches of bridge to be built over
the railroad and that the council had
promised to notify the Lehigh VAL
ley officials when the ordinance
would be taken up for it's second,
third and final readings.
Alderman at Lorge Voorhees,
agreed with Mr.. Larson and said
that 1t would be well to make a mo-
tion to that effect. Mr.. Larson did
SO and City Clerk LaRoe was in
structed to notify City Engineer Ma
son to submit sketches for a bridge
at the next meeting, and to also no.

Thieves. entered the furnishing
store of William and Annie Fine, at
395 and 397 State street, some time
during the night and stole mems
wearing apparel, dress suit cases
and other articles of merchandise
The owners Of the store are as yet
unable to determine their loss, but
they estimate that more than $500
worth was taken. Upon further in
vestfgation, it is likely that the loss
will be found to be in the neighbor-
hood of 81 900. A cash drawer was
pried off a desk and $3.50 in PEN
MES taken.
Entrance was gained through a
rear door which was pried open. A
mortise lock and an iron bolt used
to fasten the door, was broken. The
thieves, evidently experts, went to
the mems department on the north
side and robbed everything of value.
They stole the very best suits of
clothes, the best dress suit cases and
shoes. Almost every box and COM
partment in the mems department
was looked into by the thieves.
When Mr.. Fine opened up the store
this morning he was surprised to
find clothes strewn about the floor.
The police were notified and De-
tectives Huff and Long made a pre-
liminary investigation. They after
wards informed Mr.. Fine that the
robbery was very evidently the work
of professional crooks. 1t appeared
that the deed had been pretty well
planned beforehand. The robbers
entered through a door that was
most easily opened, and they stole
the very best of the things they de-
sired.

rived in this city at S:45 o'clock and
at Smith and State streets a few min
utes before nine clock. It ran to the
Jefferson and State street switch and
then returned to the Staten Island
ferry. At High street several city Of

HARD WORK TO FIX THE
CRIME ON HIM
kpeotar by United Press Htrs.

Quebec, Aug. 2:-EHortS are be-
ing made by the police today to OBJ
tain confession from Ethel Leneve,
the companion of DR.. Crippen, ac-
cused of the murder of his wife,
Belle Elmore. While they do not
believe Miss Leneve had any hand
In the murder, they believe she is In
possession of facts that would old
in the prosecution.
The third degree methods are ta-
booed, so kindness has been adopt
ed, in the hope of breaking her si
lence
The young woman will be the
chief witness for the Crown against
DR.. Crippen, is the belief growing
here. She is not being kept prisoner
but is at the home of Chief McCar
thy as guest, where she has a
room free to herself and is practi-
cally free from surveillance. Be-
tween kindness at the hands of the
police, which is believed to have
affected her, and the cable message
from her father urging her to tell
all, it Is thought she will soon be
prepared to take the stand against
Crippen.
While there is an impression that
DR.. Crippen is overwhelmed by despair
owing to the certainty that his COM
panion in fight, Miss Ethel Leneve,
has confessed to enough concerning
the doctors dark secret to fasten the
hangman's halter about his neck there
is also an uneasy suspicion that DR..
Crippen craftily understands the chief
obstacle In the way Of successful pros
ecution and clings to the hope that
through the failure of the police to
identify the body found In his cellar
he may at least escape execution.
There is wide difference of opinion
as to the strength Of the circumstan-
tial evidence against the accused man.
In some quarters it is believed that
enough Is already known to send Grip
pen to the gallows. But there is a
counter belief that there Is yet much
to be done before the case against the
man will be strong enough for an Eng
lish judge to sentence him to death.
There is great curiosity as to what
Miss Leneve has told the police That
she has made some sort Of confession
there is no doubt, 1t is said.
The little Frenchwoman, no longer

TAXED ILLEGALLY ON
PROPERTY AT RUNYON

Believing that Madison Township
has been Illegally charging this city
for taxes on the water works prop
erty at Runyon, action was taken by
the Board of Aldermen last night to
thoroughly investigate the matter. A
resolution was adopted referring the
question to the city attorney for his
opinion, and in case he finds that the
city has been Illegally charged, to
take action against the township for
the return of the money.
Alderman-at-Large voorhees,, who
submitted the resolution, contends
that the Act OF 1905. under which
taxes have been levied on the water
works property by Madison Town
ship, was declared unconstitutional
by the Court Of Errors and Appeals
June IA, 1909, and that taxes since
then have been illegally exacted. The
aldermen have asked the city attor-
ney to submit his opinion at the next
meeting, at which time further ac-
ton is likely to be taken IL the con-
clusion of the council is correct. !

WRECKS AUTO
IN ORDER TO
SAVE A BOY

To avoid striking boy, James A.
Sullivan, of Jersey City, swung his
Hudson automobile into the curb at
Smith and King streets last night
and demolished a front wheel, bent
an axle and slightly damaged a mud
guard. His wife and two other male
occupants of the car, one W. r..
Cannon, of Jersey City, were badly
frightened. The boy Harry Suss-
man, five years old, missed being
struck by only few inches.
The accident occurred a few min
utes before 7 o'clock. Mr.. Sullivan
was driving his car towards the fer
ry and the Sussman boy was in the
act Of crossing Smith street. To
avoid striking the lad, Mr.. Sullivan
gave his steering wheel quick
swing. The car swerved to one side,
skidded off the trolley tracks and
swooped against the southerly curb
with heavy impact. The right front
wheel caved in and the occupants
were badly shaken up. The Packer
House garage was notified and new
wheel was secured

STATE STREET STORE
LOOTED BY THIEVES
Over $500 Worth Of Goods Taken
from William Fines Furnishing
Place During Night--Cet Money.
PROFESSIONAL CROOKS WORK

The robbers probably used jim
my with which to pry open the door.
The Fine store is located in State
street, just south Of Broad street
In the rear of it is q small yard and
back of that is the Pennsylvania
railroad terminal. There was no
light in the store and once a com
prehensive plan was formulated, it
seemed easy sailing for the plunder-
ers. There are two doors in the
rear of the store. They selected the
southerly one, which has not been
used in some time. 1t was fastened
with few nails and was locked
with a mortise lock and bolt. When
the door was pried the locks snapped
and the door was pushed in.
When the robbers stepped inside
of the store they were in the rear
of the ladies' department They
tok nothing from there but went af-
ter loot in the mems side. About
ten leather dress suit cases were ta-
ken and filled with clothes. Sixteen
suits of good clothes were also ta-
ken and the vests were thrown aside.
Many whole suits Of clothes, shirts,
shoes, underwear, handkerchiefs and
neckties, were stolen.
The owners believe the thievery
was committed somewhere around 2
O'Clock this morning. They claim
that trains drill on the Pennsylvania
railroad at that hour and that any
noise made by the thieves could not
have been heard. Mrs. Samuel
Greene, wife Of the proprietor of a
sporting goods dealer, who keeps a
store adjoining that Of Fines on the
south, claims she heard noises short
ly after IL o'clock.

Resolution Adonted.


The resolution adopted last night
in full, follows:
Whereas, 1t appears that the city
has, since the Act of 1906, been pay
ing taxes to the Township of Mad1-
son upon the land owned for It's
water works; and
Whereas, The said Act under
which taxes were levied, appears to
have been declared unconstitutional
by the Court of Errors and Appeals
of this state, by decision filed June
IA, 1909;
Resolved, That such matter of
taxation be referred to the City At
torney for his opinion as to the le-
gality of such taxation, to the end
that such taxes have been Illegally
exacted by said Township of Madi-
son, and to have the same refunded
to this city, and that the City Attor-
ney submit such opinion at the next
regular Or special meeting Of the
council.
