HELPS HIMSELF TO JUNK
AND SELLS TO OWNER.

Joseph Smith, a Newark Pole, went
over to Harrison yesterday afte moon
in search of any occupation that might
help him procure some money. Smith,
it seems. was not particularly anxious
as to how he secured the coin.
He passed through the South Fourth
street yards of the Laekawanna rail
road. Harrison, in his travels and saw
a car of scrap iron. That it would pay
him to secure a horse and wagon and
purloin a couple of loads was the quick
conclusion OF the Newarker.
He got the rig and went back to the
yard and took way a good LOAF of
ron, driving 10 the home OF Bernard

After unloading Smith returned to

the ear. This he also tool to the Ma
portano home. Mrs Naportano gave
him 1925 for the two loads, and al
though Joe protested he could get no
more, and rather than reload the
stolen stuff he accepted the money.
When Naportano arrived home his
wife couldn't tell him any too quick
of the great bargain she had made.
The man of the house agreed that two
wagon loads of junk for s1.25 "a good
business. He went to the yard, and
as soon as he saw the iron declared
that it was taken from a car consigned
to him. He hurried to Harrison and
his suspicious were confirmed.
Naportano today notified the Lacka-
wanna people, and Detective Joseph
Fisher was detailed on the case. He
located Smith and brought him to the
Naportano home. The woman identi-
fed him, and o his promise to pay
back the sl.25 Fisher allowed him to
go, as the Naportanos refused to press
a charge. Mrs. Naportano said she

MICHIGAN PLANS
TO REOPEN BOXING.
Fight Promoter Z, Begi
Bouts DESPITE Prosecutor.

In spite of the orders of Prosecutor
Pierre p. Garven, of hudson county;
Mayor Joseph p. Riordan and Chief OF
Police Michael Rodgers, of Harrison.
who have forbidden public boxing ex-
hibitions in their territory, Patrick Nc
Guigan, the Harrison fight promoter,
it was said today, is endeavoring to re-
open his establishment at IS Harrison
avenue, Harrison, in the near future.
McGuigan, it is said, interviewed Off
Gals of the town last night to get an
idea of where he stood in the matter.
Mayor Riordan, in no uncertain terms.
told the promoter that he would OPP
pose the holding of matches in the
town, and the executive gave orders TO
Chief Rodgers to prevent exhibitions at
McGuigan's or any other place in Har-
rison.
UP until March 2 Michigan con-
Quoted semi-weekly bouts at his gym
nasium. On the night of March 2 a
fighter, Angelo Veneziano, after leav-
ing the ring, was witnessing an ex-
hibition. In order to see the battle
he sat on a rail. Losing his balance
Veneziano fell backwards and his head
struck heavily on the floor. He died a
day later in the City Hospital, Newark.
Following the death of the youth
Michigan and several others were ar
rested and held for the grand jury.
A coroner's jury, sitting on the case,
rendered a verdict to the effect thai
death was due to accident. Justice
Swayze, in charging the Hudson coun-
ty grand jury for the April term yes
terday, told the inquisitors of the vio-
lation of the law in holding boxing
exhibitions and he asked the inquisitors
to Investigate the Harrison matter.
McGuigan, in the face of this. was at
the Harrison Town Hall last night,
and is said to have made it known that
he was DESTROYS of reopening his place.
He was reminded of the order of Prose-
cutor Garven. to the effect that there
| must be no violation of the law as re-
CARDS boxing. A STAR reporter called
at McGuigan's place today, but was
unable to see the promoter.
AS the matter has been put up to
Chief Rodgers, he declares that he will
tolerate no violations, and If an at
tempt Is made to conduct an exhibition
he will raid the place and make arrests.
Mayor Riordan said this afternoon that
he intended to see that the law is lived
up to and that he will come out openly
against McGuigan if the latter at
tenpts to conduct any exhibitions at
his place.
1t was stated this afternoon that a
club composed of employees of a Har-
rison factory were ~endeaving to ar
range for a smoker at McGuigan's in
the near future. If permission is given,
it is believed boxing exhibitions will be
held. AS McGuigan could not be seen
this rumor could not be confirmed.
