0. F. CLOSES
AT SPOTSWOOD
Well Known Fishermen So
Ciety Disbands.-
Special 10 the EVENING NEWS.

Spotswood, Sept. although
the organization has been dormant
for some time, it was not announced
until last Saturday that hereafter the
club rooms occupied for a number of
years by the members of the Ancient
Order of Fishermen, a fraternal So
ciety, have been closed by the owner,
A. A. DeVoe, the wealthy snuff man
ufacturer. The suite Of three nicely
furnished rooms was located over
the %pOstofice in Main street and in
the center Of the town.
1t is said the action of the owner
followed carelessness on the part of
the fishermen" IN closing the build
ing to strangers and thus making an
easy entrance to the federal quarters
a possibility. 1t is known, however,
that the rooms furnishings were be-
ing damaged by thoughtless mem
bers. What action will be taken by
the lodge, to which many local young
men belong, in disposing of the fur
n%ishings, consisting of a pool table,
organ, tables, chairs, ETC., Is awaited
with great interest by the members
who Joined the lodge In It's infancy
and doomed" the thing along only
to have their claim superseded by
younger and more thoughtless mem
bers who have Joined within the past
two years and are considered in
good standing"
The Ancient Order of Fishermen
was organized back in 1902 with
Rev. Mr.. Bell, at that time rector of
st. Peters Episcopal church, and H.
Garner DeVoe as 1nstigators. Its
purpose was to band together the
young fellows in Spotswoed, and 1t
succeeded admirably. 1t was not a
UNCONVENTIONAL order and young
men Joined with every church belief
in this village, Not only did the now
abandoned club rooms prove a source
Of much enjoyment to the members,
but the fair bellies of S~potswood look
ed with envy upon the success of the
A. o. F., yet we're always pleased to
boast ownership of the unique and
popular emblem of the club. A base
ball team was supported for two
seasons and with good success.
Fifteen victories out of eighteen
games was the record.

TWO THIEVES SHOT
STEALING SWANS
IN CENTRAL PARK
Keeper snyder's Kill of Hawks
Solves Mystery of 200
Missing Fowl.

Two OF the mysterious midnight ma
RAIDERS who have been stealing young
swans by the score in Central Park
during tho past two months were shot
and killed last night by head Keeper
Billy Snyder. who was congratulated
to-day for his clever Workmanship.
by midsummer Snyder and his assist
ant. Bob Hurton, had raised more than
300 young swans and were mighty proud
OF them. The little ones swan about in
the lake along the Forty-ninth street end
OF the park to the delight OF visitors.
Suddenly they began TO disappear at
night mys,erlousiy. Each morning II was
found that as many as n dozen had dis
appeared. Up TO last week more than
200 had vanished. Snyder had several
theories. one was that water rats were
responsible. Others were that hawks
might be guilty. or that some person
was the criminal.
Early this week Snyder began nightly
vigils, armed with a shotgun and ac-
companied by Hurton. Last night the
two were sitting on the edge of the
lake, behind bushes. when they saw two
black specks In the sky slowly descend
and then suddenly dart to the surface
of the lake with lightning speed.
We've got the pcsky thieves at last"
said Snyder, as he aimed his gun.
In a few seconds the two black things
begin 10 sJai. When they 90: Up a::;'
feet Snyder fred and brought down one.
A second shot and the other thief flut-
tered and Topped down.
The men rowed to where the black
things fioated and found them to be
Jersey hawks" In the mouth OF each
was a white-feathered little cygnet.
Snyder says hawk shooting is good
right In the heart of New York.. and he
plans to sit up nights with his shotgun
for some time to come.
