PREVENT ROBBERY OF
KEYP0RT BAND HOUSE
spso,ol to the EVENING EEWA.

Keyport, Oct. FRIDAY night
about 1920 O'Clock while George
Hoffman, who lives in DIVISION
~street, was passing up that thor
oughfare and near the band house,
his attention was attracted by the
suspicious actions of three men.
Upon reaching Cross street Mr.
Hoffman came across to Broad and
SO on back to Front and summoned
William Eckhard and Thomas Wal
ling, members Of the band assocla-
ton, and informed them of his sus-
piclon.
The three men then went directly
to the band house and were greatly
surprised to find that the door was
open. Upon investigating nothing
was found to be disturbed, but that
the door, which is always kept fas-
tened, had been opened in some
manner was very evident. In the
place at the time were several musl-
cal instruments OF much value and
but for the time passing of Mr.. Hoff-
mar would undoubtedly have been
stolen by the SUSPICIOUS acLlng char
acters. Officer George Mason, who
was on duty, was informed Of the
affair and kept the place watched
during the remainder Of the night.

Attacked by Geo. Pease

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Keyport, Oct. George Pease,
who conducts a butcher shop at the
corner Of Church and Front streets,
attacked Tom Komit, the borough's
dog catcher, who had captured the
dog Of DR.. o. c. Bogardus, which was
running at large in Church street,
about l p. m. Monday afternoon.
Komit had the dog fastened to a
rope and was leading him to the doc
tors kennels, as instructed by the
owner, whenever he picked up any of
his dogs and the would redeem them
at once.
The attack made by Pease, as stat
ed, was entirely uncalled for. He
took the dog away from Komit, who
only has one arm and then struck
him a blow under the right eye.
Komit at once made a complaint
for assault and battery and interfer-
ence in the discharge of his duties, to
Borough Recorder A. NJ. Walling.
The warrant will undoubtedly. be
served today and the consequence of
the rash act will be melted out &C
cording to the law IN such cases.

SENATOR BAYNE
IS MENTIONED
For Lieutenant Governor of
New York.

While the eyes of the entire state
and nation are turned toward the
Democratic state convention at SYRIA
as to who will be nominated
for governor, the people of Staten
Island are more interested in the
lieutenant governorship because the
Hon. Howard r. Bayne, of New
Brighton, has been mentioned for
that place. At a recent meeting of
the Richmond Democratic ~organiza-
ton Senator Bayne was Endorsed
forth the excellent record made in
the upper house of the legislature.
Senator Bayne has made an excel
lent representative but, it is said,
did not desire a denomination. For
many months newspapers in all
parts of the state have been pub
fishing articles commendatory OF
Senator Bayne and suggesting his
name for the lieutenant governor
ship.
Senator Bayne has made a brill
liant legislator. He has been hon
ored time and again by appointment
to committees in the state senate
and again when he was chosen to
serve as chairman Of the committee
to investigate affairs In the city of
Albany. Senator Bayne was not
only the representative Of Richmond
in the senate, but Rockland county
as we'll, which comprises the twenty
third senatorial district.

DOG CATCHER
AT KEYP0RT
Subject Causes More Talk
Than Politics.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Spectdt 70 the ING NE VS..
keyport, Oct. Tom komit, of
-outh Amboy, the official dog catcher
of the borough of Keyport, has been
the apex of the conversation and the
center of attraction for the citizens
during the past week. In the excite
ment of the activity of the small and
one arm dog catching expert, poll
tics and fall styles have passed into
oblivion.
Thus far the dog catcher has a rec
ORD of five killed, about, dozen re-
deemed and several in the borough
pound, a Mott street, on proba-
ton, with still a large number of
dogs running at large. The fact that
some real work Is being done is very
evident and it also looks that the
chances for another big week are
bright.
The work has not been accom-
plished without the usual damaging
statements about the dog catcher, his
unfair methods Of coaxing and rop-
ing his prey, his brutal treatment of
dogs, while they are in captivity, and
then the old story about burying the
poor things alive, etc. These COM
plants have been received In abund-
ance by the authorities and Axel G..
Lober, the local officer of the Mon
mouth County S. P. G. A. Society, Is
a busy man investigating complaints.
In Justice to the dog catcher it
can be stated that he has had vast
experience in his line, being also the
official of that capacity Of Matawan
and Raritan township. He is ac-
quainted with his rights and author
ity, attending to the physical wants
Of the dogs while In his possession
and killing them humanely by potas-
SUM cyanide and then properly bury
ing them on the borough's property.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, the dogs are being disposed Of
In a human and legitimate manner.
The matter has been properly adver-
tised and the dogs are kept for forty
eight hours before being killed,
whereas the authorities have the
power to arm men and place them on
the highways and kill every dog that
is found not taken care Of on the
spot. The ann now being used
can easily be seen to be for the well
fare of the dog owners and commun-
ity at large and why any demonstra-
ton should be made by either the
dog owners or non-owners, under tho
present circumstances, cannot be de-
termined.
