BOLD HOLD-UP
 OF HOTEL CLERK
Masked Man Robs Cash Register At Hazel Hotel Sunday Ev- ening And Gets Away
 With S30.

As bold hold-up as ever oc- cured in this section was suc- cessfully accomplished Sunday evening about 10:50 o'clock, when Night Clerk Chester Ward of the Hazel Hotel while alone in the office was attracted by slight rapping on the door cas- ing that leads to the rear hall- way. He turned to confront a man wearing striped suit of overalls weighing about 180 pounds 5 feet 10 inches in height who wore night-rider mask of solid black over his face, head and shoulders and his hands were gloved.
 He demanded that Ward throw up his hands, but the lat ter began arguing the matter and being near the front door gave several light taps on the glass, bringing into the lobby George Hawthorne, negro por- l ter.
 When the porter entered, the robbers pistol went in the direc- 1 tion of the negro and two other negroes on the outside were too much alarmed to act quickly or the hold-up man might have been caught.
 The masked man, whom the clerk is sure was white man, then proceeded to the cash reg ister and evidently knew how to operate this for his first ring threw the drawer open, from which he took $25 to $30, includ- ing a $10 bill some smaller currency and all the silver dol lars and half dollars but left the small change and checks.
 He next backed out of the lob by into the rear hall and took to his heels. MT. Ward ran out the front door and down Second Street, reaching the rear of the building before the robber had climbed the fence and could see him plainly by the electric light The clerk chased him on down Second beyond the Elks Home, while the hold-up man kept to the alley, going east to Beech street, where trace of him was lost. MT. Ward thinks that if he had been armed, he could have stopped the man.
 The porter and bell boys on the Hazel porch say that the hold-up artist masked as he was, looked too much like a "hant' for them to venture in and they must have been terror-stricken for they failed even to give an alarm.
 MT. Ward says that the man must have entered the hotel through the rear yard and his tracks are very plain in the soil as he was running to make his escape. The footprints were those of rather long, but not a very wide shoe.

death FAILS TO
HALT DAN CUPID
Child of Wedding Guest Dies
During Fete on Floor
Above.

Not even the visit of the grim reaper
had any effect early today upon Dan
Cupid, who was holding forth In a
Kearny house. Word that death had
claimed child of one of those who
assisted in the wedding celebration
resulted in a cessation of festivities
that lasted long enough to allow the
stricken parents to leave the scene of
the celebration.
1t was in the home of Peter Dudak
at 1O1 Sanford avenue that the hand
of death manifested itself. A three
year-old son, seriously i'll with pneu-
monia when the wedding celebration
on the floor above began. succumbed
when the festivities were at their
height. The lad was three years old.
In another bed in the Dudak home
a -year-old daughter is also in a
serious condition from the same dis
ease. A physician was summoned. He
managed to restore her to conscious
ness. The physician declared that
the noise on the upper floor had an
injurious effect upon the children.
The bridal pair were Miss Alexandra
Ramachefski and John Racheski.
When seen today neither seemed wor-
ried over the fact that death had
greeted them at the outset of their
welded life, although they grieved for
the stricken parents. 1t was said In
the Dudak home the little girl is in
serious condition today
