Was Gagged and Robbed
in Her New York Office

now the New York agent for an ORR
entail tea concern told the New York
police that a man had entered her Of
flee at 500 Fifth avenue at noon on
Tuesday, gagged her and escaped
with $500
"There was nothing about him
which might have aroused my sus-
picions. but I felt uneasy in his pres
ence," she said. He WAS tall at
least six feet. wore dark brown suit.
carried a walking stick and had a
brown mustache. He was well dressed
and not at all bad to look at. He had
several diamond rings on his fingers.
One thing by which ] could positively
identify the man was a defect in his
left eye
"He asked me the price of my tea
and / told him. / was reaching into
the cabinet to show him a sample
case, with my back turned to him,
when l suddenly felt his hands at my
wrists. He threw me on chair, took
my handbag, which contained 1920 I
screamed, but no one apparently
heard me-"

GRANTS LICENSES
TO GARBAGE MEN
Sixteen independents, Who
Feared Loss of Business,
Get Renewals.

Any fear had by private scavengers
Of East Orange that they were to be
put out of business because of the
new public scavenger contract that
has been awarded, was dispelled to-
day when Mayor Julian A. Gregory
granted renewals Of licenses held by
the independent men. There are six
teen such scavengers in the city.
Mayor Gregory inspected the outIts
= of the men in the rear OF the CITY
Hall before issuing the renewals Ihe
executive found no serious faults with
the wagons. He instructed some OF
the men TO secure better receptacles
for holding garbage they collect. The
type of horses owned by the privates
/. won commentator from the mayor.
rAll of the animals appeared in ex-
cellent condition and seemed wen
sfitted for the work they have to do.
A few of the independents fear they
will eventually be put out of business,
as the public scavenger has stated
a willingness to cart away the refuse
OF private residences for eighty-f1ve
cents a monthgwhi the independents
find 1t almost impossible to do the
work cheaper than 81 for the same
period.
1t was definitely determined today
that the contract which the city has
made with Myer l.. Myer for collect
ing garbage will not be executed until
the agreement is once again consid-
cred over by the City Council The
delay this time is due to the failure
of some one to eliminate from the
contract the clause providing for col
lections at night in Main street,
Washington Place and Central ave-
nue., west of Mum avenue.
