EMPLOYEES
RAISE $500 FOR
THE !. N. c. A.

Five hundred dollars have been
raised by the employees of the Roess-
Ter & Hasslacher Chemical Company
to furnish one of the bowling alleys
for the Y. M. G. A. To say that the
executive committee of the associa-
ton are much pleased with the gift
would not ably express their feeling,
for the attitude OF the workers at the
chemical plant is very encouraging.
The employees made personal contri-
buttons ranging from small to large
sums, but all were given with feel
ing of interest in the welfare Of the
association, whose new home in
Perth Amboy is soon to be opened.
Three of the four alleys have now
been assured through the donations
of the employees Of local industries.
The Raritan Copper Works raised
the necessary $500 to pay for the
first, and the second contribution
was made by the Standard Under
ground Cable Works. A movement
is now being made by the employes
of another industry to raise the fund
that will complete the payment for
the alleys.
There are many bowling enthust-
asts among the employees of the
above mentioned industries and this
probably augments their interest In
the movement to assist the Y. NJ. c.
A. When the building is thrown
open four up-to-date Brunswick
Bake alleys, equipped with automa
tic pin-setting devices, will be placed
at the disposal Of the members Of
the association and will give the
young men of the city an opportunity
to enjoy this healthful diversion
among clean and uplifting surround
ings. 1t is probable that a tourna-
ment will be organized in which
teams from the various industries
may be entered
The Hans Greisen Company has
practically completed the laying of
the concrete sidewalks around the
new building, and this will make a
distinct asset to its appearance. The
new safe was installed in the build
ing this morning This safe was Sc
cured from the Remington-Sherma
Company through the efforts of o.
w. Bedell, of the Ely-Norris Safe
Company, which was formerly locat-
ed in this city.

DARING BANDITS
ROB MESSENGERS
At POINT Of GUN
Make $4,000 Haul in New

Police Scour City for
Clues in Various Garages.
'pooiaI oy United Press Wire.

New York, Oct. 29:-Highway
robbers, adopting modern methods,
robbed two messengers of $4,000 on
the streets here today. The bandits
swooped down on their victims in a
taXicab, covered them with two big
revolvers and, relieving them of the
money, made good their getaway in
the taxi. The bold robbery took place
at Eleventh avenue and West Forti-
eth street. The two men reported
the hold up to the police and an army
of detectives are securing the gar
ages of the city to trace the taxicab
as described by the victims.
The men had just cashed check
for $4,000 at a bank located at $40
West Thirtieth street and were pro-
ceeding to the Stanley Soap Com
pany. They carried the money, half
of which was in silver, in two large
canvas bags. AS they rounded the
corner of Eleventh avenue into For
tjeth street, a taxicab also steered
the same way The car crept close
to the curb and as one of the men
slowed 1t three others sprang from
the sides of the machine.

rounded and found themselves look
ing into the muZzles of three big
revolvers. While two of the bandits
kept them covered the other demand
ed the canvas sacks, which the mes
sengers turned over without hesita-
ton.
II was just about sixty seconds
from the time the machine stopped
along the curb, that the bandits
jumped into the car again with their
bags of silver and greenbacks, and
the car spun down Fortieth street.
The robbery was affected so noise
lessly and quickly that passersby
even did not have time to interfere,
and by time policeman was sum-
moned the bandits machine had
whizzed out of sight. The money
formed the pay roll of the soap
company for the fiscal week ending

New York. March 1.-The reading out of Charles F. Murphy and four others from the National Democratic club last night created a stir in po- litical circles today The ostensfble reason given during the heated debate over the matter at the club last night was that Murphy was behind in his dues.
 Judge Edward F. o'Dwyer, preside of the club, who has been leading the fight against Murphy introduced a resolution calling for the e1inninatio of the Tarnmany leader and the others but the resolution vas not formally adopted as the point was raised and upheld, by the presiding officer that, under the rules. the men were au- tonati sally dropped as they had not paid dues for two months.
