CLUE To ROBBERY.
IN NSTRANGER|N
CITY WHO SK|PS.

AS the police investigation of the
burglary at the home of l. r. Robbins
at 110 High street Tuesday night
continues, the mystery surrounding
the robbery becomes more battling
and mysterious.
Every window in the house and
every door was inspected by Detec-
tive Sergeants Huff and Long yes
terday, and all were found to be in
good condition, with no marks of
having been opened by the gentle
men burglars" All the doors, accord
ing to the servant girl who said she
saw the burglars, were locked. The
most battling phase of the case is
how they entered the home 1t was
thought by the police that they may
have entered with skeleton key,
but none of the dozens of such keys
at headquarters were found TO be ad-
eQuate to open the outside doors to
me house. which are fitted with no
Tol1naff affys--ioeks. Investigations of
| suspicious" parties seen about the
home Tuesday night furnished no
clues to the burglars, as all were
found to be reputable citizens. The
police have reached two conclusions
as to how the burglars entered
Either they had skeleton key of
their own patented" device or that
a door was accidentally left unlocked.
1t is believed that the thief who
has been robbing in residences in
this city of late was the same man
whom Mr.. and Mrs. William C.
Chamberlain gave board and lodging
to at their home, 222 First street,
last Saturday and Sunday. He made
his escape from their place with 81
in cash and without paying for two
days board and lodging after he had
rendered a bogus check for S35 to
Mrs. Chamberlain. Since his de-
parture Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlain
and their son have been summing up
and the conclusion arrived at is that
the man was the burglar who has
been active here of late. His actions
indicated this.
Applied at Y. NJ. G. A.
The man first applied for lodging
at the Y. M. G. A. He represented
himself to be a member of the
Knights of Pythias and the Odd Eel
lows and was referred to the Cham
berlain home. There he stated that
he was an engineer and expected the
others from Poughkeepsie on a secret
job. He offered to pay for the board
of all in advance at the rate of 81
a week, making s28 in all. He then
rendered bogus check and received
81 in cash as "a bit of spending
money" as he called it,
Mr.. Chamberlain believes that the
man was out of the house most of
both nights he had lodging there
He wore rubber shoes and was care
full to conceal the fact.
Mr.. Chamberlain declares himself
at loss to know how the man came
to know so much about the Knights
of Pythias and Odd Fellow orders as
he did. He went to church with the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlain on

Plan New Warfare.
BY ED. l.. KEEN,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Jan. 28-German strategy
has devised new use for subma-
rines in naval warfare. For the first
time In sea fighting submarine
fotilla covered the retreat of an un-
successful raiding squadron in the
North sea battle. The success of the
new plan saved three German dread
noughts from possible destruction.
This much was granted the Germans
in admiralty circles today after Ad-
miral Beatty's report. In the abb
sence of official reports 1t had been
assumed that the Germans took ref
uge behind mine field.
Analyzing Beattys report today
officials saw a new light. The sub
marines were sent out on the trail
Of the German squadron when 1t left
Heligoland and dashed toward the
British coast. They were under or
ders to form in line behind raiders
to cover possible retreat. Just such
a situation developed. The Blueeher
already at the bottom. the battle
cruisers Derfflinger, Seydlitz and
Moltke escaped similar fate at the
hands of the British feet by passing
behind the line formed by subma-
rines.

and that if the management showed
the picture after being condemned by
the board that he would at once take
under consideration the revocation of
the theatre license.
N. e. Mallouf, one of the owners
of the film, who have the exclusive
agency for 1t in this state, appeared
on the scene early yesterday after
noon and did not seem to understand
why the picture was condemned after
1t had been shown at West Orange,
Union Hill, Passaic, the Virginia and
Atlantic City theatres at Atlantic City

man Walker, of the censor board,
yesterday afternoon and held a long
conference with him.

Mr.. Walker informed him that he
had notified the proprietor of the
theatre Satu.d day night that Three

that when the management had in

all the Libraries of the country, and
not even allowed on the "restricted
Shelves" where a number of books

Mr.. Walker said that the photo play

acted. He praised the staging, but
pointed out to the owner how it was
suggestive and immoral
On being questioned why the local
board had condemned the picture
after it had been passed by the Ma

declared that the local board would
condemn any picture not passed by
that board without going to see it,
but that there were some pictures

wholesome to the youth. He made
it plain to the owner that the board

FEDERAL STRIKE

which was started early last year at
the plant Of the Federal Terra Gotta
Company at Spa Spring. Arthur H.

the plant by a number of strikers.
The strikebreaker pulled revolver
and fred but the bullet went astray.
He was arrested, as were four of his
pursuers. Jerry" O'Brien guards
were employed and Gerry himself
escorted workmen from the plant to
this city. The management was firm
in not treating with the strikers as
union men, and the strike after sew
eral months of agitation fizzled.

No Definite Selection.
While no definite selection has
been made as yet, there having been
no caucus on the subject, the favorite
ones of the organized Democrats are
Messrs. Wight, Christopher and Sea-
man. Many strings are being pulled
in an effort to secure their respective
selection. There appears to be a
active movement on foot
in behalf of Andrew Wight. Several
influential citizens are said to be
working for him.
There. have been no signs that the
senior member of the Wight G. Wight
firm has been looking for the posi-
ton, but his name has been linked
with the position. Democrats in
power say he is out of the race, as is
Mr.. Kehoe. Mr.. Brown has been at
variance with organized forces, and
he Is not favorably considered. With
the three younger attorneys, Messrs
Joselson and Klein, prac-
tically eliminated, the contest sim
mers down to the trio mentioned.

were adverse to pairing their finan-
