HANDBOOK TRIALS
BEGIN NEXT WEEK
Judge Mullowny Overrules
Motion to Quash the
Indictments.

The trials Of Patrick Malone, Ezra
Collins, Milton Plummer, Charles K.
Downing, and Joseph Downing, five of
the alleged handbook men arrested last
summer in the course of the raids made
by the police on several places where
books were supposed to have been made,
will take place next week.
This has been decided by Assistant
District Attorney Given, following the
decision of Judge MulIowny, of the Uni
ted States branch of the Police Court, in
overruling the motions to quash the in
dictments against the defendants. The
motions to quash were introduced by
Attorneys Bendheim and Campbell Car
rington.
: Counsel for the defense advanced the
argument that the fact that the Gov
sernment lad not specIlieJ ia the infor-
nation against the lnen what horses
the bets we're placed on, and where the
Jace was run, rendered the information
vague, indistinct, and indefinite. In
addition to this they clai-ued that as
the race was not specified it could not
be proved that it was ever run, and,
therefore there was no offense in MAX
fpg a bet on 1t.
The court, however, held that the Of
Tense took place the moment the bet
was made, and that it did not matter
II the race ever took place or not, as
the offense was in making the bet, and
was not dependent on the running of
the race.
In the course of the argument Judge
MulIowny said that 1t was a mooted
point whether a man could be punished
for betting on an inning or other por-
tion of a baseball game, as the law
only prohibited betting On a game" ;"
and that a portion of a game might be
construed as being different from a

the sending or of "pieket alarm

this afternoon that one of the most
sensational robberies in the history
of the financial districts took place
last Thursday. George Bancroft,
the eighty-year-old head of the big
brokerage firm of George Bancroft
and Company, was the victim.
The police have obtained no clue.
The value of the stolen goods is es-
timated at 100000. Many of the
securities are of the negotiable
variety and 1t may prove hard
task to locate them.
Bancroft, on Thursday, went to
the New York Produce Safe Deposits
vault, where he had strong box
and withdrew certain securities
needed for trade and deposited
others. He was making his way to-
wards the stairs when he ran into a
man and was knocked down, the big
MANILA envelope flying out of his
hand. The stranger picked it ur
and helped the broker to his feet
He handed Bancroft the envelope
which so far as could be seen was
intact. Later when Vancroft had
occasion to open the envelope he
found 1t contained only blank paper

Surveys for the probable enlarge
ment of the holdings of the Barber
Asphalt Paving Company at Maurer
have been made and 1t is likely that

as to almost compel improvements
at the plant, which. at this time. is
one of the largest in the city. 1t is
understood that the concerns prop

iish connection between the two

posed about year ago.

DELEGATION
WILL GO TO
WASHINGTON
Hundreds Of Signatures Al
ready on Post Office Peti-
tions--Prepare More.
SUNDAY CLOSING LIKELY
--COMMITTEE ACTIVE

AS soon as petitions for changes
In the post office have been circulat-
ed sufficiently for signatures, a COM
mittee will probably go to Washing
ton to present them to the proper
officials. Seven copies are now in
circulation and five more copies are
In the course of preparation. AS
told Saturday, the petit 0ns are for
the addition of four clerks to the
clerical force, four carriers to the
carrier force, abolition of the Maui
rer post office and the establishment
of branch to the local Office some
where in the northern part of the
city, besides the abandonment of
Sunday work
Eager to Sign Petitions.
The eagerness with which the
public is recognizing the petitions,
the committee says, is evidence that
1t is in accord with the movement of
the clergymen and business men.
The business men are backing the
movement at the present time and 1t
seems that their efforts will not be
In vain. Judging by the liberal
manner in which the circulating
petitions have been signed practical
ly the whole city Is in sympathy with
the movement and if the documents
are laid before every person in the
community 1t is believed there are
few who will not sign them.
1t is proposed to have commit
tee of business men, with some OF
the clergymen, go to- Washington
with the petitions after they have
been sufficiently signed. They will
be presented to the post Office heads
with an appeal for the adoption OF
the requests embodied in them.
Sunday Closing Seems Certain.
The closing of the post Office or
Sundays seems certainty. Post
master George H. Tice, the commit
tee report, practically agrees te
that. When he was asked how
many letters were handed out on 8
Sunday he was not prepared te
state. Questions asked resulted In
Mr. Tice admitting that there were
not more than an average OF fifty
pieces given out. The Bayonne post
office was closed yesterday and will
remain closed every Sunday from
now on, because the receipts on Q
Sunday were but twenty cents. II

TENANTS FLEE
FROM BUILDING
Fire Threatens Three Story
House In Fayette st.

A fire that caused anxiety and ex-
citement among tenement house dwell
ers at Madison avenue and Fayette
street, started in the apartments of
Thomas Fiorentino and family, at 175
Fayette street at 1850 o'clock Saturday
night. An alarm was sent in from box
SO and when the fremen arrived the
front room of Fiorentino s apartment
was like a roaring furnace. 1t was
impossible to enter. and the flames were
fought with extinguishers through
doors and windows. Approximately
5000 damage was done and there was
much excitement as tenents fed from
the big rnree story frame tenement
house at the southwest corner of Madl-
son avenue and Fayette street, which
adjoins the burned structure. The
cause of the blaze remains unknown.
Extinguishers Effective.
The fire started when the Fiorenti-
no apartment was closed up and mem
bers Of the family were out visiting.
Charles Mum. of 200 New Brunswick
avenue, with others discovered the
blaze and hurriedly sent in an alarm.
Protection Hook and Ladder Company
was first on the scene and used its
extinguishers to good advantage. Ihey
fought through two open doors and
some of the members declare they could
have handled the blaze without the
lxid of any other companies had they
had more chemical extinguishers on
their truck.
Fire Spread Rapidly.
When the fremen started to work
the flames were gaining much headway
in the easterly and westerly part OF
the front room, which was used as q
bed chamber. A pile of trunks stored
in the southeast corner of the room
was burning briskly and another brisk
blaze burned on the westerly side of
the room behind a door, behind which
was stove with warm fire in 1t.
The flames crawled up from those
places and curled along the ceiling.
The room was filed with smoke and for
a time it looked as though the entire
tenement settlement at the corner
might be wiped out. Many of the resi-
dents in the immediate vicinity of the
FIRE were prepared to move out and
several did remove some of their house
hold effects to the street.
The firemen from the hook and lad
der company, the Lincoln Engine com
pany and the Washington Hose q
Chemical company battled bravely
with the blaze and when the FIRE had
been sufficiently subdued with the aid
of chemicals, fremen entered the room
and secured control.
Covered by Insurance.
Smoke poured through the front part
of the building from the fire and dam
age was caused in the front rooms of
the sehwartz and Lsfkowitz families
on the floors above. The house is own
ed by Joseph Kramer and is covered
by insurance. It Is believed all the
families in the structure carried in
suranee on their furniture.
Washington Horse Falls.
One of the horses drawing the wash
ington Hose and Chemical Company 5
apparatus slipped and fell at New
brunswick avenue and State street.

mend to FreehoIders.
UPPER STATE ST. ANB
BRACE AVE. VIEWED

AS the result of an inspection Of
several streets in the upper part Of
the city which connect with the
county roads, recommendations will
be made to the Board of F'reeholders

ton tour was made Saturday by sew
eral county officials, among whom
were County Road Supervisor De-
Hart, County Engineer f. f. Simons

In their power to improve the thor
oughfares in this locality AMONG
the matters they will bring before
the Board of Freehoiders With a
favorable recommendation will be
the rebuilding of Amboy avenue
from the Lehigh VALLEY railroad
tracks to Woodbridge This avenue
and road, the street commissioner
says, is in bad condition at this time
and if improved would be valuable

this city and the Woodbridge dis
trict. The street commissioner rec
commended that Amboy avenue be
elevated from foot to a foot and q
half for about 800 feet north OF Hall
avenue This matter was also fav-.
orably considered by the county
officials If improved this avenue
will probably be given q final coat
ing of oil.
Macadamize Brace Avenue.
The proposition of macadamizing
Brace avenue occupied considerable
attention of the inspecting party. 1t
was estimated that 1t would cost
about $4,000 to make this improve
ment. The county representatives.
spoke of the great amount 3f work
which is to be done in the various
| townships throughout the county
and said that the township authorf-
ties were in the habit of paying from
ten to thirty per cent. OF such im.
iprovements 1t was stated that Il
/ Brace avenue was improved the cit,

per cent. of its cost. The county
