STILL CLAIM
ROBBERY FAKE
Chief Burke Not Satisfied
With Chaffs's Story.

Following examination of Edward
w. Chaffee, cashier for the Stand
ard Bitulithic Company, who claims
he was robbed of about 5000 in front
of the Parker castle in Water street
Thursday afternoon, Chief of Police
Burke continues to believe there was
no robbery. He claims Chaffee either
could or would not give him much in
formation concerning the alleged
daylight robbery. In the estimation
OF the chief almost every detail
learned points to fake on Chaffee's
part.
Local Superintendent Calder and
Plant Foreman Cunningham of the
Standard Bitulithic Company are of
the opinion that Chaffee Is telling
the truth and believe that he was
actually robbed. They seem to be of
the opinion that they with Chaffee
will have to make good the loss of
the company.
Chief Burke says that during the
examination yesterday afternoon
Chaffee either would not or could not
tell him the route he took from the
bank to the point where he claims
to have been robbed. He told the
chief Of securing check for $500
and having it cashed for four one
hundred dollar and various smaller
bills and of going to local bank and
having the four large bills changed
for money of smaller denominations
He told of stopping for a drink of
milk. Chief Burke informed him it
was necessary that he learn of the
route taken, as he might thereby
connect the crime with some thing,
such as usually lounge about saloons.
Detective Sergeant HUFF and local
officials of the Standard concern in
vectigated about the scene of the
alleged robbery this morning and
found numerous footprints, which
lead the officials to further believe
the robbery actually occurred. The
police wonder why Chafree made no
outcry, and how the robber worked
unseen at point where they claim
he could easily have been seen.

STEERING GEAR
CAUSED WRECK
William Pierce Tells How
His Car Overturned Near
"The Pines" Yesterday.
AUTO IS DEMOLISHED
Four Occupants Had Narrew
Escape from Death. Owner
Pinned Under Machine.

A broken steering gear is believed
to have been responsible for the
auto accident in which Mrs. A. b.
Marsh, Mrs w. B. Jaudon, William
w. Pierce and Joseph Lewandosky,
of this city, and Remsen CoWen-
hoven, of New Brunswick, were hurt
yesterday afternoon near the Hotel
Pines. The machine seemed to be-
come unmanageable, Mr.. Pierce
saws, and swerved against the side
of a small bridge. Had this not oc-
Cured he feels certain the machine
might have hit large pole in its
path and caused fatality.
Mr.. Cowenhoven, son of Judge O..
T. Cowenhoven, probably the most
seriously injured, had his right arm
broken in two places and will pc
laid up for six weeks. He was sit
ting In the front seat at the side OF
Chauffeur Lewandosky and was
hurled against pole.
Mr.. Pierce, owner Of the automo-
bile, was pinned under 1t and sus-
tanned a severe sprain and a near
fracture of the left leg, besides sew
eral bruises. -...,.
Mrs. Jaudon was cut about the
face and hands. Her eyeglasses
were broken and her sight en-
dangered.
Mrs. Marsh was badly cut and
bruised.
The chauffeur was only slightly
injured.
The car was almost completely
dem olished. 1t was taken apart and
conveyed to the Central garage In
New Brunswick. The victims were
attended by Drs. Rice, voorhees, and
Donehue in the latter's office, and
afterwards removed to their homes
in this city in an automobile and
given further medical attendance by
their family physicians.
Mr.. Pierce says the car swerved
from one side OF the road to the
other Just after the party had passed
Hotel Pines on the New brunswick
Metuchen road AS 1t neared lit
tie bridge in a sort Of rav1ne, 1T
headed directly for a large pole at
the westerly side of the road. The
car hit the bridge tearing off the en-
tire mud guard on the right side
and causing 1t to swerve and turn
over. Lewandosky was quickly to
the rescue and at the suggestion of
Mr.. Pierce lifted part Of the car
and released him.
The party was enroute to New
Brunswick to view a piece Of prop
erty.

Chief of Police Burke and Patrolman
Charles Quinn have been made defen-
dants in another suit for $4,000 dam
ages launched by the Public Service cor
poration through David Landsberg, one
of its trolley car conductors. The act

would not let him ride free Of charge

trolley franchise. Chief Burke consid-
ers that if the Public Service wins both
of the $4,000 damage suits now in the

COP HAD RIGHT
TO USE FORCE
Mayer investigates Com
plants Against MCGOWAN.

Acting Mayor Garretson is investigat-
ing complaints against Patrolman James
MCGOWAN for the alleged clubbing OF
Charles Derkos, a desperate character
who cut man and resisted arrest in
wild fashion Thursday night, His opin-
ion is thus far that the officer was en-
tirely within his rights and believes II
his accusers could have seen the entire
fight and what lead up to the alleged
clubbing, their views would change.
Mr.. Garretson contends that a man
wearing the blue uniform and brass but
tons should be respected as the law
and contends that when man oversteps
the law so far as to utterly defy an Of
ficer and resist arrest with every effort
it is time to use force. The city's chief
executive maintains it is not right for
an officer to use undue brutality, but he
states policeman should have some
right to act when man attempts to
wipe up the street with him.
In speaking of two informal com
plants made to him about the Derkos
case, Mr. Garretson spoke to the news
paper men of the case Patrolman Gutow
ski had Thursday night. In that in
stance partly drink-crazed man beat
and kicked the officer until he was
SCARED on the side of his head and
bruised over his chest. He maltreated
the officer SO badly as to disgust him
with his position, yet he is rated as one
of the best policemen in the city and
has never baked from the most stub
born of prisoners. In that case the off,
Ger was compelled to use force, but be-
fore he did he came near being put out
by his man. In case he had, he would
have been poor copper, the heads or
the department say; yet if some Of the
! so-called critics had seen him hit the
man over the arms with his nightstick
to prevent being hit with stones and
cut, he would probably have been ac-
cused of brutally assaulting "poor
little man." the heads of the depart
ment declare. In case he had been
killed, he would have been dead hero,
the city's chief executive says. AS it
was, he maintains, he did his duty pro-
best manner possible. The man when
in a cell threatened to "get" Patroman
GutOwski.
Officer MCGOWAN admitted in court
yesterday morning that he tapped
tharleS DerkoS on the mead with hls
nightstick to subdue his resisting ef-
forts. Only a few minutes before that
he had terrorized residents about Fay
cite street and Watson avenue and had
cut to shreads the clothes of John Zea-
yzesky. He was crazy-drunk, witnesses
declare, was armed with two knives and
defed everybody. When the combined
efforts of Patrolman MCGOWAN and Ly-
beck could not force him aboard a troll
ley car he was hit and subdued and
when arraigned in court yesterday
lmorning was apparently none the worse
for his experience. He was fined $50,
despite that it is generally contended,
under the law, Recorder Kehoe should
have held him for the grand jury.

Conclusion of Authorities on InfantiIe
Paralysis.

New York, Dec. 12.-Infantile
paralysis which has inspired terror in
the hearts of anxious parents because
of its resistance to medical skill, is
not contagious.
This conclusion has been announced
by some of the highest authorities,
who have made thorough studies of
the disease in all its uncanny phases.
DR.. NJ. J. Rosenau, professor of pre-
ventive medicine in Harvard univer-
sity; Charles T. BrueS, instructor in
onomic entomology, and DR.. Mark
w. Richardson, secretary of the
Massachusetts board of health, agree
that infantile paralysis is not a con-
tagiOn.
When they first began the study of
the deadly disease, the experts were
misled into believing that the sickness
spread from person to person, but
late developments in their course of
Investigations show that their first
conclusions were in error
A striking resem blance between the
action of the virus of infantile paraly-
sis and that of hydrophobia has been
noted.

prisoners escaped from the county jail
here last night after filing through the

were recaptured shortly afterward and
are now in Jail. The fourth, however

that someone provided the Mexican
with a horse and two big guns. The
assault for which he was held was COM

The recapture of three of the jail
breakers was made possible by an
alarm given by another prisoner who
refused to escape. Henry Boclxleman,
an old man. who was in jail gave the
alarm, and Undersherfff Henry P. Tur-
