BICYCLES
STOLEN; GANG
IS AT WORK
Police Take Steps to Cap
ture Thieves-- Wheels May
Be Recovered.
OWNERS STEP INSIDE AND
WHEELS DISAPPEAR

Four thefts of bicycles within the
past few days all from local people
have led the police to believe that a
gang of thieves are at work. Since last
Wednesday, excepting Saturday there
has been report made daily to the po-
lice of a stolen wheel J. @. Morrill,,
of 278 Rector street, was the first to
have bicycle stolen. The following
day, Thursday, Clarence Wright, of 90
State street reported a wheel stolen
from his cellar. A similar report was
made the next day by Irving Kriel-
sheimer, Of 19S High street.
The latest was registered yesterday
by Gus Rosen, news dealer at the
Staten Island Railroad Company Is ferry
house. He left his wheel outside a
lunch wagon early yesterday morning
and upon returning found that it had
been stolen.
Two of the bikes were taken from
the houses Of the owners. The last
two were both taken from points on
Smith street, one from in front Of
Kreielsheimer 8 jewelry store and the
other from the curb near Max Cohen Is
lunch wagon. A peculiar feature Of the
case avs that all the wheels, excepting
one, were equipped with coaster brakes.
Chief Burke is confident that all will
be recovered In short time. He
believes that the thefts are the work of
a gang of young men and it will only
be a matter of time before they will
bring the bicycles out for use.

HALL AVENUE
BRIDGE SCENE
OF A HOLDUP

Martin Andersen, a youth living
in North Amboy, was held up and
almost strangled by two men Sat
urday night as he was passing under
the bridge crossing the Central rail-
road tracks in Hall avenue. The
youth. somewhat injured and badly
frightened. ran for policeman, fol-
lowing his escape. The scene of the
hold UP was later Investigated, but
the marauders had fed.
The hold up occurred at an early
hour Saturday night, as young An
dersen was on his way down town.
AS he was passing under the bridge,
two men stepped out from behind
the wall, according to Andersen's
story, seized him and handled him
roughly. One of the men, he all
leges, grabbed him by the back por-
ton of his collar. The strain was
choking Andersen and with one des-
perate effort he tried to gain his lib
erty The front portion of his waist
parted and the youth dashed away,
leaving part of his collar in the hand
of one of his assailants.
Robbery is believed to have been
the motive of the ruffians, but they
secured nothing.

Special by United Press wire.
Rome, April 4-Cardinal Merry
del Val, Papal secretary of state, to-
day blamed Theodore Roosevelt for
the Vatican controversy. Without
issuing statement he intimated that
if the colonel had quietly acquiesced
in the plans for the papal reception
the Vatican would have shown that
his acquiesence was not submission
on his part. The cardinal admitted
that Mgr. Kennedys telegram was
possibly not as diplomatic as it
might have been.
King Victor received Colonel
Roosevelt and Kermit with unusual
warmth today in an audience lasting
two hours. 1t is believed the king
heard Roosevelt's side of the Vatican
row. The king said: They are a
most interesting pair always re-
garded Roosevelt as one of the great
est men in the world. Today's meet
ing strengthened that belief"
The colonel later visited the pam
theon and placed wreaths on the
tombs of Kings Emanuel. Victor and

him despite the rain

with King Victor, an almost unpre-
cedented honor Mrs. Roosevelt and

Catholics today believed former
President Roosevelt acted in con
formity to his dignity and position
in refusing to accept an invitation
for an audience with the pope tomor-
row under the restriction implied by
Mgr. Kennedy by Kennedy's tele-
gram to the colonel at Cairo to the
effect that Roosevelt could not ad-
dress Methodists at Rome before see
ing the pope. The colonel contem-
plated no such action, but he resent
ed the implied dictation of his ac-
tion.
Vatican authorities express amaze
ment that the colonel should have
published the text of the correspond
ence concerning the incident, as it
was regarded as confidential.
