metal THIEF
is CAPTURED
Alexander kozub Confessss
Copper Works Charge.

After a weeks investigation the
local police have succeeded in round
ing up the confessed leader of gang
of young metal thieves in Alexander
Kozub, eighteen years old, of III
Broad street Kozub was picked UP
by Patrolman Quinn last night, a
general alarm with descriptions hav-
| ing been sent out by Chief Burke for
number of young fellows upon in
formation secured by Detective Ser
geants Huff and Long
Complaint was registered against
young Kozub this morning by A.
! CLAYTON CLARK, manager Of the RaTi-
tan Copper Works, who charged the
youth with stealing copper to the
value of S12 from that plant. The
copper Is now at police headquarters.
Kozub Is held to await the action of
the grand jury.
Junkman Was Suspicious.
About a week ago James Kelly,
forty-two years old, of Bound Brook,
was arrested by Detective Sergeant
Huff upon information furnished by
a local junkman. Kelly had offered
the junkman ninety pounds Of cop
| per and sixty pounds of lead at the
suspicious Of the antecedents of the
metal and reported the matter to the
| police. When arrested Kelly stated
that some young fellows, whose de-
scriptions he furnished, had offered
him fifty cents II he would sell the
metal for them. Being in need of
the money the man took up the offer
which resulted in his arrest on sus-
| pieion. He was discharged this
morning upon Kozubs confession,
which did not implicate him in the
robbery The man is suffering with
! consumption and swas not in very
good condition when discharged
from the lookup.
In a hearing this morning before
Recorder Kehoe, Kozub stated that
he had stolen the copper alone while
In the employ. of the Raritan plant.
He said that 1t was an easy matter
to take copper from the plant in
question. He had put the pigs un-
der his coat and walked out with
s.asf @sas r sasiiass 6s as, 4 4
ed some time before, he said that
1 such course would be Impossible

the exits Of the plant. The lead, he
said, had been stolen from the Ely

lad.
Feared He Had Revolver.
When the alarm was sent out for
Kozub's arrest 1t was understood
that the boy had revolver and
would use 1t on the first officer who
attempted to molest him, but when
he was picked up by Patrolman
Quinn he was not armed. He said
that he had thrown the weapon away
several days previously. The boy
had been out of town several days
until yesterday. This morning he
took matters light-heartedly. He
asked the recorder whether he would
go to Jamesburg or Railway, taking
1t for granted that he was to be pun
ished. He will be held at police
headquarters until tomorrow morn
| ing to give his people opportunity to
go his bail, II they care to do SO.
Tried Suicide Recently.
This is not the first time that
Kozub had figured on police court
records. Last December he tried to
commit suicide by locking himself
In the bathroom of his parents home
and turning on the gas Later he

Going to Second Reading.
Especial Correspondence. J


Trenton. March 3o--Another step
in the fight OF the osteopaths to
obtain state examining board of
their own was accomplished yester-
day when their bill providing for
such a board was advanced to sec
ond reading. The measure was
brought TO the floor after sixteen
House members had signed q petit
tion demanding the Assembly Public
Health Committee to report the bill.
The bill was sent to the speakers
desk yesterday but with the adverse
report OF the committee.
AS soon as 1t was reported Mr..
Brown, who introduced 1t, asked
that 1t be placed on second reading.
Assemblyman Ramsay. q physician
Of the regular school, opposed the
motion by Mr.. Brown. DR.. Ramsay
pointed out that there Is already a
medical examining board, but the
osteopaths have not availed them
selves the opportunity of going be-
fore 1t. He said the measure was in
opposition to the tendency to re-
strict the number of boards In the
state. Mr.. Brown said the osteopaths
were entitled to such q bill and Mr..
Boettner asked that 1t be advanced
to second reading Mr.. Geran said
the matter was too important to
have 1t die In committee or by adj
verse report and Mr.. Donnelly said
he wanted the merits OF the measure
shown by placing 1t on third reading.
