TWO INDICTED
IN BIC ROBBERY
Two Men Arrested in N. Y.
Now Being Held for Extradi-
ton in R.&H. Platinum Case

NEW BRUNSWICK, April c.
Robert Carter and Joseph Frederick
were indicted by the grand jury yes
terday charged with the theft ~of the
platinum from the Roessler & Hass-
lacher Chemical Company. These
two fellows We're arrested in New
York last week and are being held
for forty-eight hours to allow the
Middlesex county officials to secure
ment so that they can be extradited
from New York.
Chief County Detective Peltier
went to New York to secure their
extradition, taking with him certi-
fled copy of the Indictment, but an
exemplified copy is required. 1t is
expected that through their attor-
neys. Fallon and Magee. the two men
will put up fight to prevent extra
dition. Fallon and Magee are the
lawyers who defended Nick Arnstein
in his several million dollar bond
case.
1t is said that all the platinum
which was found on the two men Is
sort of a sponge, but it is under
stood that any one familiar with
platinum can turn same into a
sponge.
The two arrested men will be
brought up on charges even ii they
do succeed in preventing extradition
to Middlesex county, inasmuch as the
custom house authorities are after
them for taking the platinum into the
country, from Paris Island. Canada
without paying a duty. The story of
taking the platinum into this country
from Paris Island was told by one of
the arrested men after they were
captured.

G. o. p. Contests in New York

greatest number collected thus far
by any one scout.
The methods of reaching the CO.
coons are many and varied and show
that ingenious minds have been hard
at work. Saturday afternoon one
ten-year-old scout was seen parading
several of the streets with a diminu-
laid a heavy, thirty-foot extension
ladder. This scout depended upon
the magnanimity of the passersby to
assist him in erecting this means of
ending the war. Another lad had q
heavy. half-inch rope with which he
lassoed one of the more substantial
limbs and thus pulled himself up
among the cocoons rather than climb
the trunk.
Asked what he was collecting these
cocoons for, by an inquisitive by
stander, one scout said. I'm saving
the world for democracy" while his
younger assistant volunteered this
information: THE cocoon lays the
moth, and the moth lays the egg. and
the egg lays the worn. The worm
lays another cocoon. the cocoon lays
the moth. the moth lays" but the
inquirer had had enough of the
geneology of the tussock worm, al
though he was not told that the
deadly worm eats out the heart of
the tree. causing untold damage, and
that the EVENING NEWS was Of
fering prizes to the most aggressive
Boy Scout troop.
Despite the rain, one patriotic scout
came into headquarters last night,
drenched and dirty from the rain and
the smutty bark of the trees, saying
that his patrol We're "crawlers" and
that he had to work Sundays and
rainy days for the whole family
and keep up the honor of his troop.
Up to last night, 4.S46 cocoons had
been turned into headquarters There
are $50 scouts in the local organiza-
tion and the average at this rate would
be about twenty cocoons for eacn
scout. 1t is expected that almost
every scout will make one supreme
effort these last two days of the cam
paign. 1t was calculated that at least
fifty cocoons would be turned in by
each scout at the termination of the
campaign.
Many of the trees are already en-
tirely shorn of this unsightly pest,
but there are still many to be found
in various parts of the city These
last two days should tell the tale, and
the patrols In the lead are warned
that their pedestal Is in danger for
other troops have become inspired
by the good reports and are making
a fine attempt to get the prizes.

QUESTION OF FINANCES
Found That by Dating Appoint
ments May ! Fund Will be
Large Enough to Garry Debt

Commencing May /, Perth An boy
will have nine new patrolmen added
to it's present police force, as the
result of the Board of Aldermen last
night unanimously approving the ap-
pointments of Mayor Frank Dorsey,
which. although they had been ex-
pected, came as surprise at this
time. The mayor had the following
letter before the aldermen, announcing
his appointments:
ITO the Board of Aldermen:
The time is now approaching when
it Will be necessary to place on duty
a number of traffic men. and owing
to the fact that we are number
of patrolmen short, 1 deem 1t advisable
at this time to appoint scme police
men. / therefore appoint subject to
your honorable body the following
men as patrolmen:
Paul w. Layden, John +. Dwyer,
James n. Sullivan, James NJ. Nolan,
William T. Kilmurray, Carl D. Mum
roe, Patrick L. Dwyer. Michael j.
Burke and Michael J. Patten.
FRANK DORSEY, Mayor"
When the communication from
the mayor was received and discus
sion opened on the question of ap-
proving his appointments Alderman
William G. Wilson opposed the board
approving the mayors action on the
grounds that the city could not
finance the paying of salaries to nine
new patrolmen. Alderman John j..
Clark carried the mayors fight for
more policemen to the aldermanic
floor and after both sides had had 1t
hot and heavy for q while the ques-
tion was put to a vote. the Republi-
cans backing Alderman Wilson and
the Democrats Alderman Clark. Tho
effort to have the mayors appoint
ments approved thus lost out by a
vote of four to three.
Later in the night, however, the
aldermen went into a committee ses-
sion In the ante-room adjoining the
council chamber and after long
discussion they returned to reopen
the question. Mayor Dorsey was
gotten in communication with by
telephone and the approving of
his appointments then came up for
action, this time with the stipulation
that the men shall commence their
duties May 1 and not at once. The
Republican and Democratic members
all voted in favor of the appoint
ments.
Alderman Wilson when objecting to
the appointments declared he was not
opposing the appointment of any or
the men named by the mayor but did
not feel that the city could afford to
stand this increase. The nine men
who have been named by the mayor
were all highly recommended and
their records would indicate that they
will be efficient. Their ages range
from twenty-five to thirty-two years
and the average height of the men
is five feet ten inches. Seven of the
men were in the service.
Chief Burke declared this morning
that he was well satisfied with the
mayors selection and they appeared
to him to be q fine lot OF young men
who should developt into excellent
officers.
