DOG CATCHER
TO BE NAMED
CounciI Tonight Likely to
Choose Ole Oleson.

Contract will probably be award
ed by the Board of Aldermen tonight
to Ole Lund Oleson, of 100 New
Brunswick avenue, as the city's off
'cial dog catcher. Oleson was the
lowest Of two bidders at the last
meeting of the council and Alderman
Dalton, chairman of the street COM
mittee, to which the bids were refer
red for investigation, has found OLE
sons facilities to handle the dogs
we'll in hand. Oleson is fitting up a
barn as pound. Albert Leonard, a
former dog catcher, bid $3.50 a
head for handling the dogs. Oleson
bid 81.
The new dog catcher will have to
start work Immediately. There is
apparently plenty of work for him
to do, as the city police have been
kept busy for some time now answer
ing complaints and exterminating
supposedly mad animals. The can
inc collector will pick up and i'm
pound all dogs running at large
which are not properly registered.
Animals of threatening demeanor
will be impounded on general prin-
ciples.
Dog licenses expire on June ],
when the activities of the dog catch
er really begin. At that time the
rounding up of stray CANNES with IL
censes of the past year, through the
neglect of their owners to renew
them, is always enough to keep the
dog catcher busy for some weeks.
The dogs are usually returned to
their owners, after being impounded,
upon payment Of 50, and the secur-
ing of a new dog license.

IN BANGOR FIRE
Mayor of Maine City Has
Sent Out an Appeal.
Special by United Press Wire.

Special By United Press Wire.
Bangor, Me-, May 1:-With the
fire which practically destroyed the
business section and much of the
residential portion, under control
but still burning fiercely, the city and
state authorities Immediately start
ed a movement to secure shelter for
the homeless. Already offers of as
sistance from outside are. pouring in
and 1t is announced that all of the
burned section will be rebuilt. Near
ly all Of the important business
houses were destroyed with loss of
nearly s6,000,000. About 1000
people were rendered homeless.
About midnight the wind shifted
and a light rain fell, wetting the
roofs Of buildings SO that sparks on
them did not damage. Thus some
buildings were saved.
Mayor Mullen this morning sent
out the following appeal: "The sit
uat1on is worse than anybody can
realize. Although most of the peo-
pie whose homes were destroyed,
were well to do, their present need
Is great. Many are absolutely des-
titute as a result of the fire.
The fire broke out In Bacon &
Robinson's coal sheds on Broad
street. Thousands of people are
walking the streets, homeless. Two
persons are known to have been
killed and more than twenty in
jured.
Mayor Mullen proclaimed martial
law, called out the local company Of
militia and telegraphed Governor
Plaisted for more troops.
Everything north Of York street
from Kenduskeag stream to the east
side of Broadway has been burned,
and nearly all of the fine residences in
the most exclusive section of the city,
as well as the postodice and all of the
largest Office and business buildings,
are in ruins.
The Congregation church, the oldest
in the state; First Baptist, st. Johns
Episcopal, the Central Congregational
and the Universalist churches are
gone, as is the Windsor hotel and the
high school building. The Bangor pub
lie library, with one of the most valu-
able collection of books In New Eng
land, is totally destroyed.
Help has arrived on special Maine
Central trains from Augusta, Water
vile, Lewiston, Bucksport and Old
town. Although scores of buildings
have been dynamited, the firemen are
powerless to check the flames. A
strong southeast wind has been blow
ing since the fire started. and cinders

GET NEGRO BY
CLEVER WORK
Man Wanted in Connection
With Lakewood Murder
Caught Near JamesburQ.
TAKEN TO TOMS RIVER
Was Hiding in a Gravel
Pit Near MiddIes.x County
Town When Recognized.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Jamesburg, May 1:-After an ex-
citing chase covering at least eight
miles through swamps and woodland
Henry Graham, the negro suspect
wanted at Lakewood on suspicion of
knowing something of the brutal
murder of Mrs. Charles Turner at
Lakewood some time last Wednes-
day afternoon, was taken into GUS
tody by Ex-Mayor Frank Jennings
and Ex-Mayor Frederick Nodocker
Saturday afternoon on the outskirts
of this borough. That the arrest
was accomplished is due mainly to
the cunning of Mr.. Jennings.
Graham admitted his identity when
placed under arrest but would make
no statement concerning his move
ments further than to state that he
had just arrived from Cream Ridge
and was in search of employment.
The first knowledge that the
town received that the negro, Crab
am, would likely pass through here
was conveyed in a telephone mes
sage from Prosecutor Brown, of
Toms River, to be on the lookout
for negro, giving a minute descrip-
tion of Turner Shortly after the
receipt of the message the Toms
River authorities arrived at James
burg, having passed their quarry
about two miles from Jamesburg.
They telephoned to Mr.. Jennings to
be on the lookout for Graham.
Mr.. Nodocker, with a force Of
men, was repairing the county road
here. He kept sharp lookout for
Graham and was soon rewarded by
the negro's appearance along the
road.
George Van Derveer was the first
to recognize Graham, who was max
ing his way toward Perrine's gravel
pit. Mr.. Jennings was apprised of
the negros presence and, accompa-
MED by several of the party, went to
the pit, where Graham was found.
Mr.. Jennings asked Graham If he
wanted work and he replied in the
Affirmative, saying that he had just
arrived from Cream Ridge. Being
closely questioned by Mr.. Jennings
he admitted that his - name was
Henry Graham and that he had been
at Lakewood the past week. Mr..
Jennings then placed Graham under
arrest, took him to his farmhouse
nearby and 'phoned to Jamesburg,
where the officers had taken up their
headquarters for the time being.
The detectives were soon on the
scene and after complimenting the
local men upon the clever capture,
hustled Graham into the auto and
were soon out of sight on their way
to Toms River.
Graham's presence at the gravel
pit is accounted for owing to him
having been employed on farms
hereabouts 7or the past two years.

Graham Is Questioned.

Lakewood, N. j., May 1.-For al
most three hours Prosecutor Theodore
K. Brown qulzzed Henry Graham, the
negro captured about thirty miles
northwest of here and held In connec-
ton with the murder of Mrs. Charles
Turner In the Lakewood pine woods
last Wednesday afternoon. 1t was
learned after the end Of the examina-
ton that the negro has not yet been
told the reason he Is being detained
Prosecutor Brown says that the pris-
oner has not yet been questioned di-
rectly as to whether he knows any
thing about the murder, the questions
being along the line of his where
abouts from the time he was last seen
until arrested.
His story, or stories, are far from
satisfactory to the officials. 1t was
learned, for instance, that the negro,
who was last heard Of in Lakewood
on Thursday, at almost the exact time
Mrs. Turner's body was found, and
who not much more than an hour
later was seen about seven miles north
Of Lakewood beginning his journey
"in search of work." as he describes 1t,
was offered a job without his asking
for 1t in Freehold, eleven miles fur
ther on.
The job was offered to him Friday
after he had slept all night in the
woods. He refused 1t and cut off west
ward For reasons of his own Prose-
cutor Brown has had the prisoner con-
fined In cell in the woman's side of
the jail No one is permitted to talk
to him about the murder nor even to
visit him

]. Mlntz's Cellar Entered
Gardens Drug Store.

Thieves entered the cellar of the res
ldence of j. Mintz, at BAT Oak street,
Saturday night and took cask of wine
and bundle Of clothes. Entrance was
gained through the cellar door which
had been left unfastened.
While patroling his beat early Sun
day morning, Patrolman Gutowski

been forced. He searched the neighbor-
hood thoroughly but could find no win
dows forced, or otherwise interfered

himself.
This morning it was reported to the

taken by the wouldbe robber. He

G0MPERS ON
LABOR STAND
Special By United Press Wire.

Indianapolis, May 1:-Following
conference with local labor leaders
during which support of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor was pledged
to j. j. Mcnamara, IN his pending
trial, President Gompers today gave
a detailed explanation of the labor
attitude in the case. He said:
at is not class fight, or a fight
of labor against any association, but
simply an effort to see that McNa-
mara gets a fair trial The presump-
ton of the law is that he is innocent
until proved guilty. Labor is, there
fore, not going further than the law
in presuming that the men accused
are innocent"

Lifting Fire Hose BY Elevators.

The latest idea for raising water
for fre-extinguishing purposes TO the
uppermost floors OF tall buildings is
to lift the hose by means Of the pas

hose to the foor Of the elevator. the
pipe being cooled up in the bottom Of
the shaft so as TO be easily raised.
