OTHERS MIXED
UP IN SALOON
BLACKMAILIkC
Police Have Information
That Three Were at Work
Several Weeks Ago
DICkEY AND kISH WERE
NOT IN THE JOB

Thomas Dukowski, better known
as Tom Dickey, and Constable Ru-
dolph A. Kish, are not the only men
who have been blackmailing liquor
dealers by means of the excise law
Of late, according to information in
the hands of the police. One officer
has been informed by a salOonkeep-
er that three men other than Duk-
owski and Kish swindled him out
of $40 on the Sabbath several weeks
ago, under similar scheme as was
worked by Dukowski and Kish last
Sunday.
An investigation is going on which
may lead to more arrests within the
next few days. There Is no evidence
that the two now under arerst were
implicated with others. On the
contrary, it appears that there were
several bands of blackmailers. The
police have thus far experienced diff
flCulty in securing information from
liquor dealers because it appears
they fear prosecution for illegal sell
ing. The blackmailing schemes were
based upon such charges. Whether
there actually were violations of
the liquor laws, or the schemers
only lead the dealers to believe they
knew of some, the police have not
learned as yet. Judging by Duk-
owskis confession there were vio-
lations last Sunday, as drinks were
served to them and they were some
what under the influence of liquor
while the blackmailing was going
on.
Kish will be arraigned before Re-
corder Pickersgill at 7 O'Clock to-
night to answer to charge of
lblackmail Disbelieving Dukowski,
except upon the evidence that has
been corrOborated by others, the
police have exonerated Kish Of the
charge made by Dukowski, that they
were together when $3.50, a revolver
and three pocketbooks were stolen
from William Fazekas' saloon Mon
day. Kish admitted to the police
during arTaignment yesterday morn
ing that he and DukoWski had re-
ceived money from saloonkeepers
Sunday and had drawn fake legal
papers. He also identified a card
on which he admitted having writ
ten Dukowskis alias as a Newark
detective. His defense was that he
had been drunk and was helpless to
such an extent that he did not know
how he arrived home. Evidence OBJ
tained by the police indicates that
both were drunk.

multitude of fish from death. The
chief we'll knew if the formality Of
making an application, etc, would
have to be gone through that the fish
would all be dead before the water
was put in the pond. He did not
arrive at this conclusion, however,
until he had personally, with a re-
porter of the NEWS, inspected the
pond and seen the torture of the
dying fish, which were struggling for
life in the mud of the pond. Accord

the pond was dryer than 1t had ever

years.

Hundreds Of gold, silver and other
fish were saved from slow and tor
turous death by Fire Chief William
P. O'Hara, one of the Democratic
candidates for nomination for alder
man-at-large, when he ordered men
of the Garfield Engine Company to
turn water into the Alpine cemetery
aquarium" off upper Amboy ave-
nue., yesterday afternoon. There
were but few gallons of water in
the little pond at the foot of the
cemetery near the road, when the
life-giving stream from the hose COM
pany covered the bottom of the hole
with water. The chief was notified
Of the inhumane condition at the
cemetery by the EVENING NEWS, S,
who had learned OF the fact through
George H. Ryder, landscape gard
ener, of Broad street.
The chief first applied to the
water department for permit to
use the water, but being informed
that an application should be made
by the Alpine Cemetery Corporation
for the board to act on same at their
meeting tonight, he came to the con-
clusion that the water plug near the
pond needed testing, so ordered the
firemen to do so. Instead of wasting

SPEEDY TRIAL BEING
ARRANGED


New York, Sept. 17:-Hans Sch
midt may expect the extreme pen
atty for the murder Of Anna Aumu-
eller. The wheels of justice indicat-
ing this were placed in motion this
afternoon by District Attorney Whit
man. The man who was murder
er, counterfeiter and as 1t was learn

Schmidt maintained the dead girl

plans to solve the social question by
creating money for all the poor peo-
pie here" he wrote. Schmidt also
sent note from his cell saying he
had never taken money from the
Door, but evidence today tended to
show Schmidt had robbed parishion-

SOCIETY SEES
LARGE CHURCH
WEDDING HERE
Miss Laura Ramsay United
in Marriage With Marion
merrIss This Afternoon
ELABORATE RECEPTION AT
THE HOME FOLLOWS

One of the prettiest weddings ever
seen in Perth Amboy was solemnized
in the First Presbyterian church this
afternoon, when Miss Laura Lawson
Ramsay, eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Oliver w. Ramsay, became the
bride of Mr.. Marion Hawthorne
Merriss. Promptly at the hour set
as the strains of the beautiful we'd
ding march floated from the organ
under the skillful touch of Ernest
Felix Potter, of Germantown and a
former resident of this city, the
bridal party arrived.
First came four little flower girls,
two entering by each side door, fol-
lowed by the six bridesmaids enter
ing, three at each side. They walked
down the side aisles to meet the
bride at the rear of the church. Here
the bridal procession was formed,
preceded by the six ushers, Messrs.
Andrew j. Wight and Howard g.
Brainard, of this city; Hubert H.
d'Autremont, Joseph D. Sears and
Charles B. Spencer, of New York, and
Charles s. Holmes, of Montclair,
Following were the four little flower
girls, Edith and Betty Ramsay, sis
ters of the bride, and Gudren and
Alice Eskesen. They looked very
sweet and dainty in their pretty
dresses of white point d'esprit over
pink chiffon, cute little hats to match
and carried baskets of pink roses.
Then followed the six bridesmaids,
Misses Margaret Stage and Margaret
Merriss, Of Brooklyn; Margaret
Wight and Jetta Stacey, of Perth
Amboy; Sallie Morse, of Brockton,
Mass, and Burchie Worthington, of
New York City. Gowned in pink
crepe de chine and shadow lace, they
carried large bouquets Of pink roses.
Next walked the maid of honor, Miss
Ruth Streat, of New York, gowned in
palest pink chiffon cloth and shadow
lace with hat to match.
Then came the bride, escorted by
her father, and looking very sweet
and charming in a costume of white
satin and lace made entrain. Over
this a veil of Brussels net, with a
border of point applique, was fasten-
ed most becomingly to her hair with
orange blossoms. She carried a
shower bouquet of bridal roses and
-the-valley. Her only orna-
ment was the gift of the groom, a
beautiful plaque and chain of pale
blue enamel set in diamonds.
At the pulpit the bride was met
by Mr.. Merriss and his best man,
Douglas Johnston Miller, of New
York. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. John L. Scott, D. D., of Phil
adelphia, and Rev. James Fl. North
rup, of this city. Mr.. Ramsay gave
his daughter away.
1t was essentially a pink wedding,
that color being carried out in the
house and church decorations and
also in the costumes of the bridal
party. John Clark, of New Bruins
