T.R. w ins, Says
Seer of Hoboken

The Seer of Hobolxen has spoken

Calamitous catastrophes are
read by him in the houses of the

Ice Burglars
Get Cold Deal

The detective bureau received a
report today from the Lackawanna
Ice Company that its plant in Park
avenue had been entered by would-ne
burglars Sunday night and that an
attempt had been made to blow
the safe
From the evidence gathered by
Lieutenants Meehan and Donovan II
was concluded that the job was the
work of amateur cracksmen, the safe
in the vicinity of the lock giving evil
dence of the work of a hatchet. The
would-be burglars attempted to chop
the lock out, and falling to do so they
made good their escape before their
presence was discovered.
Nothing was reported missing.

FIVE ATTEMPTED
BURGLAR|ES HERE
Adam MerkIe Captured Early
Today-Held in ST 500
Bonds.

Five unsuccessful attempts to enter
houses within few blocks of each
other kept the police of the Third
precinct on the run early today.
The burglar scare ended With the
capture of Adam MerlSle. As years
old, no home. by Special officer p.
Eugene Schmidt. Judge Hahn, in
the Third Precinct Court, held yMer-
kle in 1900 bail TO await the action
of the grand jury.
Word was received by the police al
1 o'clock that a house in Walnut
street was being ransacked by burg
lars, but two patrolmen could find no
trace of the men.
A short time later it was reported
that there was a fight at 144 Nc
Whorter street. This turned out to
be another attempted robbery.
About 3 o'clock Lieutenant Walzer
received telephone call from the
Rev. Robert r. Llttell, pastor of the
Sixth Presbyterian Church. Mr.. Lit
tell had been awakened by a watch
dog in his home at 124 Elm street, and
had found a man trying to open a
window on the first floor of the house
The reserves were rushed to within a
block of the house i'll the patrol
wagon. Then they surrounded the
house from Elm street and Walnut
street. The man had made his get
away before they arrived, and the
search was fruitless.
Fifteen minutes later the home OF
Michael Dwyer, 55 New York avenue,
was entered, but the intruder was
scared off before he had chance to
take anything.
The saloon of Anthony Baromowski,
Of 204 McWhorter street. was entered
about $3.50 and about fifteen minutes
later Special officer Schmidt, who is
employed by a burglar alarm com
pany, caught Merkle in the neighbor-
hood and arrested him. with the as
sistance of Sergeant DAILY and Patrol
man Fannon.
According to Plainclothesman Brex,
who is investigating the attempted
robberies, Merkle admitted serving
terms for the same offenses in this
city and Harrison.
Merkle had a length of rubber hose
wound with black tape in his possess
sion when arrested. This. the police
say, he carries as a weapon. The po-
lice believe that Merkle had an ac-
complice and they are now looking for
him.
