CRAP SHOOTERS
IN THE FIELDS
Police Chase Gang--Stop
Ball Game in Streets.

Policemen we're busy for a time
yesterday breaking up crap and ball
games. Crap games seem to have
grown with alarming rapidity since
the approach of summer and Satur-
day afternoons and Sundays the po-
lice have difficulty In breaking them
up. They are usually carried on In
fields and in secluded places behind
sheds and between buildings. A
number OF young men, who formerly
carried on a game in a room on one
Of the principal streets, is said to
operate on q field and may be raided
at any time.
Patrolman l.. G. Jensen broke up
a crap game on Lehigh Valley Rail
road property near the company's 8
roundhouse at 1890 o'clock yester-
day morning, He chased the par
ticipants but was unable to overtake
any of them.
Patrolman Tonneson stopped ball
games In progress on the street at
State and Fayette streets and Wash
ington and State streets yesterday.
Complaint about Sunday ball
playing In Paterson street was made
today to Acting Mayor Garretson.
He turned the communication over
to Chief of Police Burke. Owing to
numerous similar complaints the
police are using every endeavor to
stop ball playing on streets and on
property IN streets where 1t annoys
residents. The chief said no inter
ference would be made to ball play
ing on property in such places
where It would annoy no one.

Brookins and R. ]. Collier
in Flights Yesterday.

With Walter Brookins, as pilot,
and r. j. Collier as a passenger, the
Wright hydro-aeroplane successfully
circled the lighthouse yesterday
morning. So successful was the
first fight and 80 pleased was Mr.
Collier with the workings of the ma
chine that three flights were made
yesterday morning. At least a thou
sand people were at Soldiers Beach
and many more lined the shores of
this city and Staten Island. Through
out the three flights the speed aver
aged from forty to fifty-fve miles
per hour.
New Burgess pontoons have been
added to the machine under the di-
rection of O. G. Simmons. The en-
gine controlling the machine Is one
of the best ever used by Mr.. Brook
ms and he attributes the reason to
the efficient manner In which Mr..
Simmons has adjusted the different
parts. Although the air mon re-
manned aloft twenty minutes at each
time an average height of 100 feet
was maintained.
To test the new aluminium pom
toons Mr.. Brookins brought the ma
chine to a distance of or inches
from the water and at terrific speed
skinned over the waves. Both Mr.
Simmons and Mr.. Broohins claim
this Is a most wonderful feat Of the
machine. At the next flights an altl-
tude record will be sought by Mr.
Simmons. On Saturday Mr.. Simmons
had Brookins, G. e. Myner, private
secretary to Mr.. Collier, James Da-
Wis, an aeroplane expert, and Will
liam Manor, his assistant, as pas
sengers on the different flights.

Nine Working Days in Which
to Raise the Money
to Start Here.

The large sum of $25,000,00O has
been raised by business men for the
Y. M. G. AS of this country during
the past siG years, through what is
known as THE Short Term Cam
paign, "a plan original with the
Y. M. G. A. This plan by enlisting
200 Or moro business men for a
week or ten days, makes the task of
raising large sum not only easy to
accomplish, but delightful in its fell
lowship.
1t is said that the greatest good
that comes to man, comes as result
of unself1sh service to his fellows.
Abundant testimony from other CT
ties throughout the country where
these campaigns have been con-
Quoted, proves that they are well
worth while to the civic life of q
city, entirely apart from the tinan-
cial returns that have always re-
suited in a home for the boys and
young men of the community.
This campaign Is entrusted to an
executive committee of prominent
citizens; Judge Adrian Lyon, G. c..
Baldwin, A. G. Clark, Franz Roess-
Ter, George J. Haney, Sidney Riddle
storffer and D. p. Olmstead. This
committee has selected "a the dates
for the campaign-May 23 to June
8. This will give nine working days
The campaign will open with & din
ner for the active workers and COM
mitteemen. Prominent guests will
be present from New York and other
places to describe the work of the
Association.
The Executive Committee has
elected A. c. Clark, manager of the
Raritan Copper Works, chairman
of the committee OF 100 business
men. This committee will be made
up OF the most prominent men In
the city and they will take luncheon
together every day during the cam
paign. The committee will be dlvld-
ed into ten teams OF ten men each.
There will be captain for every
ten. D. P. Olmstead, OF the EVEN
ING NEWS, has been elected chair
man of a second committee Of 100
men, which will be known as the
Young Mems Committee. This com
mittee will be made up Of younger
business men and professional men
of the city. A number Of college
men employed in the industries
have hgnifed their willingness to
serve on this committee. It is pos
sible that Mr.. Olmstead's teams will
take the names Of certain colleges.
In some Of the campaigns, as for
example, the campaign in Morris
town last fall, the college yells were
an interesting feature Of the get
together luncheon and did much to
develop enthusiasm and good feel

County Bridge to Jersey
Central Trolley Tracks.
DELAY TRAFFIC 2 HOURS
Horse Falls and Becomes
Fast Between Ties Often
ders Are Fined S25.

On charges of being drunk and
recklessly driving a rig out on the
trolley trestle east of the county
bridge about 8 o'clock last night,
thereby tying up trolley traffic for al
most two hours and inconveniencing
scores of passengers, Andrew Satch,
of South River, and John Bicker, Of
681 Elizabeth street, were each
fined $25 this morning by Recorder
Kehoe. 1t required the combined eff
forts of three policemen and several
other men to extricate the horse and
buggy from its perilous position. In
the meanwhile trolley patrons had
to walk from the northerly end of
the bridge to a point south of the
draw. The rig was driven a dis
tance of about 800 feet out over the
trestle and the legs OF the horse
were badly injured as the result Of
stepping between ties and falling.
Rails Kept Wagon On TrestIe.
Recorder Kehoe lectured Satch
and Bicker about getting drunk and
stories of the complaining officers, of
how the men had driven the horse
off the county bridge to the trolley
trestle Just south of the cantilever
span. AS there are no guard rails
at either side of the trestle the men,
horse and wagon were In danger of
going overheard. According to eye
witnesses the trolley rails kept the
rig on the structure. Patrolman
Steed made the arrests and on his
complaint the recorder fined each
of the offending men $25. The rig,
declared to belong to Satch, is be-
ing kept at Liddle & Pfeiffer's liv-
cry stables until the owner claims
it. Tie police learned the horse
was valued at $270.
Trolley Passengers Walk.
While Patrolmen Steed and Ry-
marczyk, with the aid of several
other men were working with
planks and ropes to rescue the rig,
trolley traffic was badly handicapped
and passengers walked several hun
dred feet and out on the trestle to
transfer from one car to another.
1t was a dangerous performance,
but those anxious to get to their
destination attempted 1t.
Have Trouble Rescuing Horse.
The rescue force increased in
number as the work went on and at
$50 o'clock Patrolman Andrew
Jensen arrived to assist Officers
Steed and Rymarczyk. The horse
was unhitched from the vehicle ard
path of boards ana planks laid, so
that it could walk back on the
bridge. The buggy was pushed
back. While the rescue work
was in progress a trolley crew noti-
fed headquarters of the Jersey
Central Traction Company and a re-
pair car was sent out with tackle
to render assistance. 1t reached
South Amboy where the crew was
notified that the rig had been res
cued.
Had Been Celebrating Here.
According to investigations of the
police Satch and Bicker had been
celebrating at the latter's home in
this city and were enroute to South
River when they drove off the county
bridge. Satch said he was thirty
two years old and Blcker said he
was thirty years of age.
Satch paid his fine and was re-
leased about 10 o'clock this morning
