North Bergen Uses Yellow Paint
to Correct Unpatriotic Errors.
The names Of three service men Of
North Bergen, N. j., were crossed from
the honor roll in front Of the township
hall yesterday by order Of the Mayor.
A policeman walked up TO flag bedeclSed
roster with brush ana a bucket OF yell
low paint and with energetic strokes
wiped out the lettered names. The yell
low streals are large enough to attract
attention and to express plainly the
judgment of the community In the re-
spective cases. The patrolman put the
paint on 30 thick that the names cannot
be deciphered by close scrutiny, which
relieves the men of public embarrass-
ment.
The first name obllterated was that Of
a man who had to be dragged away to a
draft camp over the strong objection of
his mother, the second that Of q man
found hiding under bed and who was
taken a prisoner to Camp Dix. The
third name was that of a conscientious
objector who was Jailed and assumed
the role of a martyr. The appearance
of the names on the honor roll was due
to the names being taken from the draft
board records without prejudice. Popu-
lar Indignation has been aroused for
some time and finally the Mayor decided
to take the matter in his own hands.

do In such, cases. but boy and checks
appeared to have utterly vanished and
gradually the police activity ceased.
Young Thompson had been an admirer
OF Nick. Carter for years He figured
that the case offered possibilities. He
remembered that Bristol had frequently
spoken of having worked at Bridgeport,
Stamford and other Connecticut cities
before taking the Job at the Equitable
Building. Thompson reasoned, thereA
fore, that he was pretty certain to show
up sooner or later In ono Of the negro
colonies Of some Connecticut town. For
weeks he has been making frequent
trips there. one OF his journeys taking
him as far ~ New London.
On Friday Thompson was walking
along Pacific street. In Stamford, yhen
he almost bumped into Bristol, who
looked detected. The amateur detective
learned where he was living and then
appealed TO the Stamford police 10 ar
rest him. But they declined to take
any chances on the unsupported acousa-
ton Of strange negro lad.
Thompson hurried back TO New York
and told the authorities hero that he
had located the fugitive. Yesterday
New York Police Headquarters tele-
pnoned tne onlef OF ponce In stamford
and Bristol was locked up. Later in
the day Detective Sheridan went there
and brought the prisoner back. When
he was searched he was found to have

to have told the police. after he left

men held him up in the Mushroom. Bis
