Sheriff Eugene F. Kinkead collapsed
Yesterday. a few hours after he had
! stamped out the last embers OF the
Standard Oil conhagration in Bayonne
by placing ninety-nine guards OF the
Constable Hook plants under arrest.
Weakened by loss of sleep and lack OF
food. he broke down before he could
see the results of his final achieve
ment-the transportation from Bay
onne TO Jersey City OF the gunner
and assassins." as he called them, ,
This was done in the typical kinkead
stvle which has marked some event OF
each dav in the last weeks struggle.
Sixty of the men were packed closely
into a seven-ton automobile truck. I'M
prisored by heavy ropes stretched
across its rear, and hustled off: Seven
trips of the Jersey City patrol wagon
suffced to rid Bayonne Of the re-
mainder of the undesirables. All are
charged with melting to riot.
Kinkead also twice arrested hugh
lara, Commissioner of Streets. .yester-
day. The second charge was dropped
and the member Of Bayonnes govern
ing body furnished bail against the
first Seven saloonkeepers who were
found violating the Sheriff's excise
later were released. :,
Jeremiah j. Baly, the discredited
Austrian leader of the strikers. and
Frank Tannenbaum, the young |. W. w.
leader, were released Baly was taken
to Headquarters, where kinkead asked
a committee of newspaper men what
he should do to the impostor. When
they said, Let him 60" he followed
their advice.
Kinkead approached the Tidewater
works Yesterday morning, asking John
Hammond, the timekeeper, for the
names of the guards still within the
plant. When he refused the Sheriff so
threateningly intimated personal chas-
tisement that the names were soon fur
rished. The men were then lined up
before him, marched to Headquarters,
escorted by fifteen Boulevard patrol
men. and kept there all day.
The arms given over by Samuel II.
Edwards, superintendent of the plant,
were placed in an automobile. Kinkead
himself headed the long procession
to Headsuarters. On the way there
he had noted the front doors of the
seven saloons open and his men picked
up their proprietors as they went along.
Mara's arrest was even more dramat-
ic than the taking of the guards. Tues
day night, when Kinkead wished to
telephone, he ordered the Commission
er from a room in Headquarters. The
latter resented the command, but left
when the Sheriff promised to attend to
his case. Yesterday morning Mara
awoke, to find two deputies at mis- house.
He gave himself up, and was soon re-
leased on bail. Later the Sheriff again
saw Mara, one of Bayonne's triumvi-
rate of influential Democrats, in room
he wanted and again ordered the Com
missioner out.
lie apparently forgot the matter, but
in few hours shouted for one of his
patrolmen to find Mara. When he was
reached Kinkead ordered his man to
stand guard with the prisoner a block
from Headquarters. The two remained
there some time, when Recorder Will
lam ]. Cain used his acquaintance with
Kinkead to have the Commissioner re-
leased.
Shortly before noon the Sheriff went
to Fire Headquarters for short rest.
He looked thoroughly tired out. He
had an alcohol rub, and after a nap
left to meet the newspaper men in Po-
lice Headquarters. He was talking
with one when he fell to the floor eX
hausted. He was soon himself, but re-
NAMED in the building until 2 o'clock,
when his wife and child came in an
automobile and took him to his summer
home al Deal, n. J.
The strike at Caven Point, Jersey
City, where the works of the Eagle Oil
Company, a Standard subsidiary. is sit
uated. also came to an end yesterday,
the men returning peaceably. But in
Elizabeth. where the strike fever
spread to 500 employees Of the Waclark
Wire Works. the struggle against the
company was continued, although with
no disorder.
