THREATS TO DRIVE TURKS

drive the Turks from Europe "once

laNies reply to the Turkish objee-
ton to the peace treaty made public
here today. Such action might fol-
low Turkish refusal to sign the
treaty, the reply states: The time
limit for Turkey to make known her
decision expires at midnight July

State Bridge Situation Is
In Doubt; May Close Itself
As DrdW Is In Bad Shdbe

Information given out by those
in charge of the construction work
at the state bridge this morning
seems to infer that no one knows
Just exactly when the bridge will be
closed, and it may probably be a
case of the bridge closing itself be-
fore any definite action is taken.
The draw is now in an unusually
poor working condition and il it
should be gotten open and refuse to
close the use of the bridge will then
have to be discontinued.
Further reports from the bridge
say that it will not be closed in the
Immediate future at any rate unless
something unforeseen develops. No
one can tell at just what opening
the draw will refuse to close. 1t
may be weeks. months, or the very
next time it is opened. The bridge
may possibly be closed before the
draw is put out of commission, and,
then again, 1t may not.

BY STAFF Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK July IL
Though 1t was over six months ago
that the sensational platinum rob-
berry occurred in the laboratories of
the Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical
Company plant at Perth Amboy
members of Prosecutor Stricker's s
detective force have at last cleared
up the mysterious theft, according
to their belief and they feel that a
conviction will surely be obtained
when the defendants are brought up
for trial.
Up to the present time none of
the stolen material has been recov-
cred, but Chief County Detective
Richard A. Peltier holds out high
hopes for locating at least a part
of the $65.400 loot before a great
while. Two men have pleaded to
an indictment in the case and the
third one is in custody. The coun-
ty detectives say they will now re-
new their efforts to recover the
stolen goods.
1t was at the same time that the
Pinkerton detectives were called in
to help solve the mystery and ap-
prehend the thieves that the county
authorities were also notified. While
numerous clews were traced it was
The belief of County Detective Ferd
A. David from the time he was first
assigned to the case, that the in
formation that made the job so easy
was supplied by one who was well
acquainted with the lay out of the
plant and the customs and methods
in handling the material.
With the information now in the
hands of Mr.. David. very little of
which the prosecutor will divulge
at this time. one Of the defendants,
Louis Tonghini, it is claimed former
ly worked in the department of the
plant where the storage vaults were
located. and coupled with other in
formation led to the arrest of
Tonghini, his brother and the third
defendant.
To Mr.. David and William Fitz-
patrick, the finger print expert of
the detective staff, belongs a major
share of the credit in bringing the
matter before the grand jury, they
having worked untiringly on the
case during the past week while
bringing matters to a head.
Accoring to the best information
obtainable the states case will be
very strong one, witnesses being
within reach who will tell of differ
euL phases OF the case IN a way and
manner that will be very damaging
to any defense that might be Of
fered.
It was in tracing clues that are
expected to lead to the return of a
portion of the platinum at least,
that a conversation was overheard
in New York by Detective David
which sent him on the right track
and led to the arrests. Immediately
delving into what he had heard with
the assistance of Detective Fitzpat-
rick sufficient evidence was obtain
ed after a strenuous two weeks
work to obtain the indictments
which were returned by the grand
Jury yesterday.
While no date has been set for
he trial there is no doubt but that
! speedy hearing of the case will be
irdered, as both judge Daily and
Prosecutor Sticker are endeavor-
ng to clear up all cases in which
he defendants are now confined in
he county Jail, in order to eliminate
the possibility of their being con-
ned over the summer.
A trial list will be set down for
le week of July 26 and the cases
i'll probably be disposed of at that
me-

Progress On New Bridge.


Considerable progress was shown
yesterday by T. j. Kennedy and
his force in the drilling for the
sites<for the foundation of the new
state bridge over the Raritan river
between this city and South Amboy.
Drillings over 100 feet in depth were
made on both sides of the river but
nothing but hard clay bottom was
found.
The drilling which was started
about $50 feet from the drilling on
the G. Pardee property in which
rock was found at a depth of ninety
feet, was completed yesterday. AL
though the drillers went down to a
depth of los feet in this spot, no
rock was struck and this would
mako it seem as IL the rock struck
in the first drilling was a boulder.
However the rock will be drilled
into in order to learn IL it is a
boulder or a larger rock formation.
