POLICE DRESS AS HOBOES TO
 RAID A CAMP
Make Descent Upon Luxur- ious Tramp Den in North
 Bridgeport
Chicken Heads and Feath-
 CTS Taken as Evi dence- Chicken Thievery Charged

| Donning old clothes and hats to give themselves a semblance of the
 hoboes for whom they were securing l the woods, party of half a dozen detectives, policemen and civilians secured the woods two miles north | of Lakeview Home this forenoon and at noontime discovered a luxuriously appointed camp.
 Three prisoners were taken, one of them the alleged leader of the camp CTS. Kettles simmering with coffee and chicken broth, parts of chicken roasting on improvisd spits, and other evidences of wholesome and delicious fare were discovered even before the police came upon their prisoners. One of the trio was captured after chase of a mile through the woods, while one of the others was found naked save for pair of trousers. The third was sleeping in the sun be- hind a shelving rock, at peace with all the world.
 Bronzed by their outdoor life, the three found the confinement of cells at police headquarters more than trk- some when they settled down to the
 monotony of waiting for arraignment
 in the city court on Monday. Just
 what charge will be preferred against
 the three is not settled. An attempt
 will be made to fasten chicken thiev-
 cry upon them. They deny having stolen chickens, but the police say they found chicken heads and feath- CTS in abundance about the camp.
 For several weeks the live stock about Lakeview Home has been dirnin- ishing in number, and Merle Cowles, the superintendent, couldn't account for its disappearance. He concluded yesterday that a new gypsy band had supplanted the followers of King Kuroki, the Hungarian gypsy whose abode in the woods on the Leverty farm near Lakeview Home, was de- stroyed by the police last fall.
 This morning his son saw two sus- piclous looking characters pass the home and cut cross country towards g. desolate section northeasterly from the police. The younger Cowles en- listed the services of Tony Shevet, a stevedore who knows the country be- cause he roams about through the va rious camps from day to day when work is quiet on the docks. Young Cowles, Shevet and Detectives Hack cit and Hall, Patrolmen Barton and Bray, all donning old clothes. drove in a wagon from Lakeview Home as far as there was a road then started through the woods, leaving Detective Hackett to survey the adjoining coun- try from the wagon seat.
 Shevet lied the party through the woods for what seemed to them an interminable distance. They came to a little clearing through which a pie turesque brook wound out through the fields. and here they found two abodes.
 One was a dug out in side hill, snug and substantial, its front six feet high, the roof so high that one might stand inside without difficulty. It ran bach about eight feet It was well equipped with utensils

 Previously, they notified the Jer- sey City police to take the thieves moving cautiously along in the dark ness the officers heard wagon com ing along. Four figures were distin- guished in 1t as 1t drew near. Ap- parently the auto with lights out aroused suspicion for suddenly the men in the wagon stood up and sent a rain of buckshot and bullets into the right lung and very badly hurt while the two other officers were wounded with buckshot.
 Before Chauffeur Newton could get his car going the wagon disappeared in the darkness. A few minutes lat CT it passed another auto in which Detectives Suery and Coyle of the Jersey City police were seeking them but the marauders turned their artil- Iery on the Jersey City car and put it out of commission by shooting up the front tires. They then got away in the darkness.

SPR|NKLERS IN STREETS MAKE
 SKATING KINKS
Water Wagons Called Off the Job When Traffic Be-
 gins to Slide Around

Street sprinklfng which was begun today for the summer season. was quickly abandoned this forenoon when it was found that the temperature had taken such 8 sharp drop that the water froze on the pavement and impeded and imperilled traffic.
 In the streets where the sun shone brightly there was no trouble but wherever the shade covered the pave ment, horses and humans experienced danger. Director Kenny promptly or dered the work suspended when the conditions were reported to him.
 The work will be taken up as soon as the water wagons can roam about without danger of becoming incrust- ed in icicles.
