LONG BEACH BATHERS
GET ROSES FROM SEA
Holland Bushes Washed Ashore
by the Grateful.

Holland rose bushes-t thousands Of
them-and each bush worth one dol
lar, it is said. were washed ashore at
Long Beach, L. l., yesterday afternoon.
Where they came from nobody knows.
At first it was thought that a Dutch
ship must be pounding to pieces close
by at sea. But Captain Carey, an old
salt, said it was more probable that the
rose bushes had met an embargo on
account of an obnoxious insect and had
been dumped overheard.
They came by the crateful-ffty
bushels in each crate, and Long Beach's
silk-stockinged bathers gathered them
by the armfuls. Every automobile re-

SAYS RAISED CHECKS
BROKE ORANGE BANK
Depositors' Committee Seeks
Action Against Men to Blame.

Certified checks, raised to the amount
of S270, 900. are believed to have caused
the closing last week of the Mutual
Trust Company, Of Orange, by the New
Jersey banking authorities. A com
mittee Of depositors, organized last
night, announced that if the officials
failed to take some action against the
men responsible before tomorrow noon
they would ask the Prosecutor to act.
Three checks, made out for 10000,
and certified, are said to be involved.
Later they were raised to 100000
each and deposited with the bank as
collateral for loan. The illegal trans
action was disclosed when they were
sent to New York for collection.
Dcpositors were interested yester-
day in the filing by Edwin II. Hatch,
the president and moving spirit
of the bank, and by Mrs. Hatch, Of a
$4,000 mortgage on their country es-
tate, Collingwood Farm, at Maplewood.
Hatch took over the interests OF
James Smith, jr., who had controlled
the affairs Of the bank.

and that his lack Of success In this
had preyed more and more heavily on
his mind. He knew that he had told the
truth. but felt that he had failed in the
test, and so it might appear that he had
testified falsely.
Tried to Cheer Him Up.
"His brother officers tried to cheer
him up, pointing out that the test was
unfair and that the justice himself
considered it unfair.
"They say they kept reassuring him,
pointing out how all the conditions
were different, how the apparatus was
different and the voice talking was that
of an attorney for the other side. He
understood ali this, but could not seem
to get himself together again. This
morning, just before he shot himself,
he reported to Detective Watson that
he was worried to death over the thing.
at was the case of a particularly
faithful, capable policeman honestly
trying to do his work and broken heart
ed over what he thought was a failure
that might discredit him and his broth
er officers"
When Lieutenant William Kennel
was summoned 70 the hospital yester-
day it was the first time he had seen
his brother in eight months despite the
fact that day after day they worked
within half mile of each other.
Secret Kept Brother Away.
"Jack did not come to see me-" he said,
because OF the secret nature Of his
work and the fear that he might in
some way get me involved. II he only
had come recently | might have given
him q message from the Mayor which
would have greatly allayed his worry
over this matter. The Mayor was back
of him, and declared that he had done
his plain duty, had made a good wit
ness at the inquiry, but had not had a
fair test and would have another one"
Charles Kennel, son of the detective
sergeant, said that night after night
for weeks his father would awaken with
shouts that he was being bounded and
please to be let alone.
About three months ago." said the
young man, "some one gave my father
a dozen pigeons. He always took care
OF these himself and would get up early
in the morning and feed them. That
was practically all he ever did to
amuse himself after he came home from
a hard days work"
Shocking" Says Farrell.
Father William B. Farrell said last
night:
"This is shocking. It Is unfortunate
that a human life should be sacrificed
or even jeopsrdixed SO needlessly.
"The news of Kennels act so de-
pressed me that could not stay at the
overlapping investigation. ! cant ap-
preciate why those responsible could al
low a good man like Kennel to become
enmeshed in this dirty mess until he
could see no way out"
Detective Kennel is fifty years old
and was appointed to the police force
on October 20, 1892. On June 29, 1911,
he was made a drst grade detective.
