BOYS DEATH
UNDER TROLLEY
A MYSTERY
Identified as Charles Grohs, of
Irvington-Put Off Car
at Barns.

How, or when, or where four-year-
old Charles Grohs, of 112 Speedway
avenue, Irvington, got under the
Plank road trolley car which killed
him yesterday afternoon remains a
mystery, but the feature of the
tragedy, which puzzles police and
trolley men most, is how mangled
child could have been carried more
than five miles through the busiest
streets in the city without attract
ing the attention of the hundreds of
pedestrians and teamsters VINO must
have gazed at the car in passing and
on the pavement where it left a
bloody trail.
AS told exclusively in the Evening
Star yesterday, bits of the boys
clothing were seen sticking out from
under the car just over the rear
wheels when the car was halted by
the open draw of the bridge over the
Passaic river. Charles Hartmann,
of So Jacob street, alighted from the
car, and while standing In the road
way waiting for the draw to close,
made the gruesome discovery.
Body Wrapped Around Axle.
No blood was on the pavement
under or back of the car, but the
body was found almost wrapped
around the rear axle. From its po-
sition there could be no doubt that
the youngster crawled under the car
from the rear and climbed up on the
rods and bars which go to make UP
the machinery of the truck.
Maurice O'Reilly, of 3S2 Eighteenth
avenue. thirty-six years old, and
motorman for the Public Service Cor
poration for eight years without a
serious accident, was in charge OF
the car. He was released by the pros
ecutor under 81 900 bail today.
When his attention was called to
the bits of clothing he grew faint
and nearly collapsed, but went about
the rescue work with Conductor Ed
ward Ziemba, of AZ Tichenor terrace,
Iryington. and other men who volun-
teered.I
The body was taken out without
raising the car and both motorman
and conductor recognized the little
fellow. whose face was not even
scratched, as the one who had been
bothering the men about the car
barn at Twentieth street and Six
teenth avenue earlier in the after
noon.
The youngster was the fourth of
the five children of Henry Grohs, a
tinsmith, and was noted among his
neighbors for his bright friendliness
and sympathetic good nature. He
frequently made the half-mile jour-
ney from his home to that of his
grandmother, Mrs. Clara Deck, at II
Ashland street, Newark, alone, and
never had any trouble in finding his
way. Neither had he shown any dis
position to loiter.
His usual route was through Speed
way avenue from his home to Four
teenth avenue and down Fourteenth
avenue nine blocks to Ashland street
and then half block to his grand
mothers house. He never had made
any mistake in the corners he was to
turn.
Charlie left home yesterday morn
ing to visit his grandmother, but
failed to return at dinner time, and
his mother sent an older brother to
learn the cause of his delay. The
child had not been at the grand
mothers, and where he spent several
hours has not been learned.

tieth street and sixteenth avenue say

JAMONEAU TO
{ FIGHT AWARD
FOR AWNINGS
City Hall Contract to Be Taken
to Courts, if Necessary,
He Says.

w. H. Jamouneau. of S52 Broad
street. said today that it is his pur-
pose to fight the award of the con-
tract for new awnings for the City
Hall to L. S. Plaut & Co. He said
his action would be the same as II
was when he fought the award for
furnishing the Ivy Hill almshouse,
and in which he appealer to the
courts.
Mr. Jamouneau has sent letters to
Mayor Raymond and City Counsel
Spaulding Frazer asserting that the
specifications upon which bids were
solicited were unfair and inequitable,
and that the hall could be properly
equipped for $500 less than the lowest
bid.

POLICE STAMP
MILLER AS THE
GANG LEADER
Say Sailor jake" PhiladeI-
phia Murderer, Directed Bur-
gIary Operations Here.

The police today made a formal
charge against Oscar Millington and
William Brady, the two alleged mem
bers of the gang which is declared
responsible for the recent epidemic Of
burglaries in the city, and pals Of
Sailor Jake" Miller. who recently
killed a Philadelphia detective. They
were charged by Lieutenant John F.
Harris with the embezzlement of SIS
from Joseph, known as "Chick,"
Schwartzman, in whose saloon, at
Mulberry and Green streets, they
were arrested Wednesday night by
Leutenants Harris, Ryan and Pagan.
The men were arraigned before
Acting Judge Rooney in the First
Precinct Court and held in $1,000 bail
each for the grand jury. Chick
Schwartzman was placed under ar
rest today as a material witness, and
by request of the police held under
bond of 5000.
The police now say that Miller and
the man still at large committed the
burglaries and that Millington, Brady
and Davis were the hold-up men. This
theory by the police that Miller was
one of the chief members of the gang
is in contrast to previous statements
by them that Miller was not wanted
for any Newark Jobs. These state
ments were made at the time when
the Evening Star published Miller's
connection with the local gang and at
a time when The Star was calling at
tention to the unusual number of bur-
glaries in the city.
Schwartzman furnished a bail bond
of 5000 at noon today and was re-
leased from a cell at the First pre-
cinct station.
The charge of embezziement was
made to give pretext for holding the
men under bail while the police at
tempt to establish their connection

Perhaps you didn't know It. fans.
but it's true nevertheless that Boston,

Three times Boston has figured in the
playoff and each time the standard

Back in 1903 Boston's American
league entry won over the Pittsburgh
Nationals five games to three. In
1912 the Red Sox defeated the New

fall the Boston Braves wailoped the
Philadelphia Athletics in four straight
games. Thus in three series the Bos-
