CAPTURE TWO THIEVES
Erie Detectives Believe They
Have Solved Copper Wire
RObberieS.

Erie railroad detectives believe they
took the first step Tuesday night in
bringing about a solution of the copper
thievery in northern New Jersey, which
has puzzled them for past six months,
when they arrested William Sheehan,
forty-seven, and Frank Wade, forty
two, both homeless, as the two prison
ers were ascending a signal pole in
Ramsey, carrying, it is charged, wire
cutters.
The apprehension of Sheehan and
Wade, who carried the air and para
phernalia of umbrella members, fol
lowed the receipt of "tip' by the
railroad sleuths, who were in hiding
when the men climbed the pole.
Sheehan and Wade We're arraigned
before a Ramsey justice of the peace
and then committed to the Hackensack
Jail, where they are to be placed
through a severe questioning in an eff
fort to connect them with copper thefts
of the past six months, according to the

w. railroad and the railroad police had
been unable to secure any clues as to
the identity of the thieves. Yesterday
afternoon, however, the detectives
learned that the two umbrella members
would make an appearance in Ramsey
and laid a successful trap for their
capture.
When taken into custody, both priS-
oners carried wire cutters, it is claim
ed, and were also supplied with UNI
brella sections, tending to show that
their vocation, or avocation, was UNI
brella mending. They carried no weap-
ons. After their arrest they were tax

jectiOnS Several times he asked for
objections, but none of Importance was
raised, though several queries We're
made as TO minor matters, such as Sun
day opening.
The chairman then called on Rev.
Guhse for further remarks. Mr.. Guhse
said he thought the question of re-
strictions should be discussed He
said this had been up in the committee
and he wanted it understood that the
proposition was not to be railroaded
through, but dealt with in "A logical
buSineSslike manner on its merits.
We do say, he remarked, that we have
cherished the idea of having the com
munity house near the church for OBJ
viouS reasons of convenience. The
whole success of the thing, though, will
depend on leadership. In all his visits
around to other communities on this
enterprise he had found that leader
ship was essential. He alluded to the
general tendency over the country for
community houses anu Sdlu thdt the
Y. M. G. A. and X. of c. We're now
planning chains of such houses across
the continent and that they would all
go hand in hand with a broad SYM
pathy for religion. We aim for the
community house to be under high
moral leadership. He alluded to the
lot near the church having been Of
fered by Mr. Tams at the greatly re-
duced price of $1,000, which he thought
very reasonable. Mr.. Guhse was con-
vinced in his heart of hearts that the

Lawn to Be Made
Out of Church Lot;
Not Tennis Court

An effort of Rev. H. p. Guhse, of
the Palisade Union Church, to make
IA tennis court on the lot adjacent to
the present small meeting house, has
been abandoned because it was found
after the work got started last Sat
urday when a small number of young
men and boys went down to begin the
work of clearing off the roperty, that
it was not large enough for Il full
sized court. 1t was thought that the
property on the north might be OBJ
tanned, bat as the cost of making the
tennis court would be around $400 or
$500, it would be better to turn the
vacant end of the large church lot
into Il fine lawn, which will be done
as fast as the work can be accom-
plished.
OF those who went down last Sat
urday We're Rev. Guhse, Harry Clark,
Jr., Valentine, Ernest Sibley, c. T.
Logan. Allan Carson, Loyal Phillips,
Thomas Fredericks, George Clark and
three or four other small boys. Allan
Carson did the most consistent work
of anybody present, as he never let up
ii minute from the time he started till
the party knocked off at about 6
o'clock. Mrs. Sibley brought down a
big bucket of lemonade with ice, and
with the assistance of Mrs. Reuhmann
handed it out to those at work. 1t

WAR DOG GETS MEDAL
FROM ANIMAL LEAGUE

Harry Elkan has shown the paiSa-
dian the handsome bronze medal pre-
sented to "Busigny," the pet of his
regiment in the war. "Busigny' is IA
handsome little fox terrier that took
up with the marching Americans in
Flanders, and at once became d great
favOrite with every member of the
division. He went all through the last
year of the war, and was brought over
when the gallant old Twenty-eighth
Division returned from the great fra
cas- overseas. One side of the medal
bears beautiful scene in relief of IL
shepherd sitting asleep near his herd
which his dogs are guarding, the sheep
in the nearby distance being clearly
defined. On the reverse side is the
following inscription engraved:
Presented to
"Busigny"
BY The Womans League For Animals,
June II, 1919,
For Comradship and Valor During the
World War, 191S-1919.
Engineer Elkan takes almost as
much pride in the medal as he does in
"Busigny," which money would not
buy.
The medal was presented by Mrs.
Speyer, and is about two and one-half
inches in diameter, made of light cop
per bronze.

FOR NEW JERSEY
This May Be Necessary as a
Measure of Defense for
State.

Trenton, May lit may be neces-
sary for New Jersey to adopt an in
come law as Il measure of self de-
fense and to protect its own citizens
from the tax laws of other states
Frank b. Jess, president of the State
Board of Taxes and AseSessmentS,
said in an address at the fourth annual
conference yesterday of the state Of
ticials charged with the administration
of the tax laws.
Mr.. Jess stated that it may ulti-
mately be found advisable in the event
of the New York State income tax
law being upheld by the courts to
adopt Il similar measure in New .Jer-
sey, and then take advantage of the
reciprocity action of the New York
law. Mr.. Jess also called attention to
the fact that the tax revision act of
1918, although radical in its nature,
has entirely justified the change be-
cause in the first year of its operation
it saved the municipalities of the state
many thousands of dollars
The conference was one of the most
important of its kind ever held here.
Several thousand assessors, as Well as
members of the County Tax Boards.
State Board of Taxes and Assessments
and the State Commission to Investi-
gate Taxation, attended the meeting
Governor Runyon, in his address of
welcome, called attention to the
importance of the work performed by

CONFLICT over
SUNDAY SPORTS
Asbury Park Commission Meet
ing Was Wild and Tur-
buIent.

Asbury Park, n. j., July "A wild
and turbulent scene marked the meet
ing of the city commissioners last
night when a resolution was intro
duced permitting Sunday amusements
and sports not in conflict with New
Jersey State laws.
There was considerable opposition
from the churches to the resolutions.
Duffie, a retired Baptist minister,
made Il remark about Hebrews which
aroused the resentment of Louis |.

lister the "short and ugly word

on the jaw. Several persons then
separated the combatantS and when
the minister got to his feet he yelled !:

Later ON Rec DIR. Furman De Mar
Episcopal Church of Asbury Park, and
Col. John w. Aymar; member of the
City. Board of Education, had lively
exchange of opinion which nearly re-
suited in another set-to
The commissioners passed the reso-
luton unanimously. The net pro-
ceeds from the sports will be paid to
the city treasurer and will be distrib-
uted among various charities.
The scuffie between Rev. DR.. H. V.
McDuffie and Mr.. Tumen followed af-
ter the minister had said: Jews and
for this discussion. The Jew has no
better friend than me-
Mr.. Tumen said: you're liar
and he clash followed.
After the scuffie Rev. McTjuffie made
another reference to the Jews and
Mayor Hetrick interrupted him, tell
ing him he must not do that Mr.
McDuffiie replied:
Il am now referring to this skunk
here"
The discussion was general with
the ministers lined up on one side
"iit ,ii' iioit iibNiti SiClliNllL llilth
up for the resolution.
DR.. John Goorley, pastor of the
Ballard Methodist Episcopal Church,
said the commissioners are trying to
make Il German Sunday in Asbury
Park. He said that to permit an open
Sunday would pave the way for bring
ing the "rif raff' from New York,
Newark and Jersey City to Asbury
Park on Sunday excursions and that
the town would be brought to level
with Coney Island.
Waller Rosenberg, New York the
atrical man, associated with John Cort
who owns some theaterS mere, said
that the opposition to the movies was
because it interfered with he church
business. He was hiSSed down.
Commissioner George w. Pittenger
said that all the Sunday amusements
which the ministers feared were now
in full swing. He said even card
playing was being done in private
houses and it was ridiculous for the
churchmen to attempt to "clean up
the town.

Nature has placed one of her curl

The plant has since been reduced to

and up through its center one of the
quick growing trees of the tropics has
sprung, spreading its branches out of
the top of the huge chimney and is

including a triple play, the White

There were other rounds besides

ran the baseball game from joy to

were due to a lucky three-base hit
