MAN IS HELD UP AND
ROBBED NEAR METUCHEN

Metuchen, Sept. 16:-Held up,
beaten numerically and robbed in
broad daylight Is what occurred to
a Bound Brook resident Thursday.
Joseph De Vito, Of that place, was
walking along the public roadway
somewhere near the dividing line
between Metuchen borough and
Menlo Park, when he was accosted
by three strangers. One of them
stopped him with Hey there, pal,
give us a match
De Vito proceeded to search for
the match using both hands in do
ing so.
Suddenly M Of the men piniened
his arms to his sides, while the other
two gave him a sever beating with
black1acks and clubs and he says
that the next thing he knew he
found himself lying along the road
side minus a gold watch and chain
and about $12 In money.
He made his way to Metuchen as
best he could and received medical
attention. This is not the first oc-
currence of the kind In this particu-
lar locality. Only a few weeks ago
three men held up a New Brunswick
peddler and ordered him to turn
over his cash. The peddler drew a
revolver and the thugs beat a hasty
retreat to a nearby thicket.

RATHER ANGRY
Residents Protest Against
Receiving the 0utcast Cops.

leading citizens of TottenVllle,
Staten island, have become very ~
dipnant at Police Commissioner wal
do for converting that village into de-
detrimental Devils Island, and there
is a movement to make a lorinal
protest to Mayor Gaynor against
sending what same term tine OUT
casts" of the police force or the
whole city to the N~inety-N1nth pre-
cinct.
Long before consolidation Totem
stlle claimed the title OF 'Modei
Village, and local pride and public
spirit are strong among Its residents.
i has it's local improvement societies
composed of both men and women
interested In maintaining it's attrac-
tive and its reputation
as a quiet, law abiding community
and since the wal oyer the adoption
of the name Bentley Manor the
public spirited people of the village
are again a unit.
Arrests are few there. Many say
this is conclusive evidence that there
Is no crime or disorder in that Sec
ton of Staten Island, while others
hint that 1t is partly due to the fact
that Tottenville has no magistrates
court and any arrest that po-
licemen and other witnesses must
sacrifice a whole day and spend fifty
cents for c~arfare and as much more
for lunch to go to Stapleton to pros
ecute a case.
Under the rule Of Commissioner
Waldo. It Is asserted fully q hundred
policemen who have beer found
guilty of infraction OF the rules or
who have offended influential per-
sons and police officials In other sec
lions of the city have been sent to
T~ottenyille. Captain Russell, when
deposed as the head Of the Detec-
tive Bureau, was put In command OF
the Ninety-Ninth precinct. Captain
Patrick Murphy, who got into trou-
BILE in Flatbush, was sent to Totem
willie and he made his stay very In
teresting to the prominent citizens
and taxpayers.
Sixty taxpayers were called before
Ma -istrate Marsh, at Stap'eton,
charged with not removing snow and
ice from sidewalks. 1t was shown
that these complaints were made
against n of property on what
were practically country roads with
out sidewalks and the complaints
were all dismissed. 1t cost sixty men
a day each and considerable money
but helped the proprietors of places

Inspector Cornelius J. Hayes when
denoted a month ago was sent to
Tottenville, but has not been in &C
tual command of the precinct. This
week Policemen Plenge, Donohue,
Mallon and Goldner, caught asleep
in the Bronx stable while on duty,
have come to T~ottenville, and indig-
nation has reached an acute stage.
1t is contended that the Ninety
Ninth Precinct, more than any other
should have honest and dependable
policemen, for the men In that pre-.
cinct cover a large and -sparsely set.
tied territory, some beats extending
over five miles of country roads,
where there is no chance for the ser
geants to determine whether the me
are or are not doing their duty. 1t is
asserted Thai more policemen were
seen in the outlying sections of the
precinct before there were one-quar-
ter the present number of policemen
and before the Ninty-Ninth became a
penal precinct.

is every indication that the price of

SHERIFF RACE
WITH CANNON
Start to Walk to Perth AM
boy--A Draw.

The New Brunswick Times is the
authority for the following story:
Sheriff Albert Bollschweiler and
County Clerk B. NJ. Cannon, who have
had a long distance debate as to who
is the best long distance pedestrian,
engaged in a walking contest this at
ternoon between this city and Perth
Amboy.
The officials met at the Hotel Pines
this afternoon by agreement and ar
ranged to walk into Perth Amboy,
where they both live. Both men were
in fine condition when they started.
County Detective Peltier was selected
as referee. The Sheriff had a German
flag pinned to his shirt, while the
County Clerk displayed a little emblem
of old Erin.
With the crack of Peltier's revolver
the men were off. She sheriff started
out with long strides, while the county
clerk took shorter ones, but more of
them. They were side by side for sew
eral minutes, her the county clerk
told the sheriff a joke and the sheriff
had to stop and laugh and Cannon
forged to the front. The sheriff quickly
recovered himself and e~ndeavored to
gain the distance lost. He was steadily
lessening Cannon s lead as they neared
Gross corner. At that corner both
men collapsed.
DR.. G.. A. Enlmons, of Perth Amboy,
who was following in an auto with a
first aid to the injured outfit, took the
pulse and heart action of the c~ontes-
tants and decided the race off. He
positively refused to permit them to
continue it.
It is understood that the ace was
for $50 a side. Referee Peltier has not
made his decision as yet. Both CON
testants are claiming the race and Pei
tier wants to keep good friends with
both and is in a dilemma.
