Efforts in Directing to Fes-
tiyitv in Neighbor's Home

Mrs. Mary McCue, describing herself
as housewife and forty-five years old,
of 119 Christopher Street, was ar
raigned in the Jefferson Market Court

neighbor and turning a party into a
riot.
According to the story told the court
by Detective John Shevlin, of the
Charles Street police station, Bernard
Stenken was giving party in his apart
ment on Saturday night, when Mrs. Nc
Cue took objection to the music, dane
ing and other festivities going on in the
Stenken apartment and gave vent to her
feelings by going to her neighbor's
apartment and telling Stenken Of her
objections.
When Stenken resented the intrusion
and certain remarks alleged to have
been made by Mrs. McCue, the detective
told the court, the defendant stabbed
Stenken in the right hand with knife.
Detective Shevlin said that when Stem
ken grappled with the woman she laid
him fat with blow on the head with
a hammer which suddenly and mysteri-
ously came into play.

forced to break the glass in the door to
the McCue apartment before the woman
was arrested. Stenken was taken to St
Vincent's Hospital and was unable to
appear in court yesterday. Mrs. McCue
was held in $1,000 bail for examination

Sing Sing Prisoner
With Jersey Murder
Man Who Identified Brandon
as Slayer Believes He Has
Found Bandit Who Shot
Woman Two Years Ago

Edward Schwartz, head of the police
bureau Of Identification in Newark, re-
ported yesterday to Michael Dunn,
Prosecutor of Passaic County, that he
believed he had discovered in Sing Sing
prison the murderer Of Mrs. Lulu Cold
stein, who was shot by a hold-up man
in her husbands dry goods store, 24S
Eve, 1919.
Ever since that date Schwartz has
been examining the finger prints sent
him by dozens Of police departments
and prison wardens, looking for the
print Of a right forefnger identical to
that which he found on the butt Of the
pistol with which Mrs. Goldstein was
shot. Recently he received from Sing
Sing a print which he believes to be
the duplicate of that on the pistol butt
1t is the print Of Lawrence Kin
naugh's right forefnger. ninnau8h.
who is known also as Wee Wah, was
convicted in Brooklyn a year ago with
two other men of hold-up similar to
that in the Goldstein store in Passaic,
except that no one was shot. he IS
serving a sentence of from ten TO
twenty years.
Two of the men said to have been
concerned in the Passaic hold-up have
been arrested. One of them, Joseph
McQuade, is serving q life sentence
The other, "Kootie" Whalen, is await
ing trial. The finger prints of neither
of them corresponded to that on the
pistol butt. McQuade, even after his
conviction, refused to tell who his ae-
completes were.
At the time of his arrest he was
wearing an overcoat which one Of the
three robbers had selected from Gold
STEMS stock and apparently was about
to pay for when one of his companions
drew a revolver and rified the cash reg
lister. Mrs. Goldstein screamed at
sight of the revolver and the gunman
fired. She was shot dead, and the
three robbers made their scape with
about $4,000.
Schwartz is the man who identified
George Brandon, by his finger prints
on the door of an automobile, as the
murderer of Edith fanny ana Arthur L.
Kupfer near Railway. Brandon was q
prisoner at Auburn when his identity
was discovered. His accomplice in the
murder testified against him, and he
was convicted and put to death last
month.

A number Of old landmarks on side
streets in the business section disap-

old. All were small and were occupied
by miscellaneous business enterprises.
200 Dwellings Washed Away
1t was impossible to obtain accurate
estimates of the number of dwellings
washed away, but, according to one
police report, the figure was placed at
200. OF the twentyseven bridges that
crossed the. San Antonio River in Its
fourteen mile winding course through
the city, only one actually was washe d
away, but all except four were dam
aged, several almost beyond repair.

report that the entire settlement had
been washed away was untrue, only a
portion of a bridge to the mill having
been destroyed
One or two entire families are known
to be drowned or missing.
Rescue workers reported late TODAY
that they expected to find more than
100 additional bodies before the search
of the debris was complete. It was
feared that the bodies have been
washed away by the current and may
be found miles down stream.
Boy Holds Child Safe Five Hours
Perhaps the outstanding heroism of
the food was that of a twelve-year- Id
Mexican boy, who clung to a tree on
South Flores Street for FIVE hours,
holding on his shoulders above the
water child five years old. The boy
rescuer was battered black and blue by
floating wreckage and was taken to a
hospital unconscious. The child was
unharmed.

capped from an apartment house before
part OF it was swept into the river. In

new Ramona Street bridge, he saw a
house lodge against the railings and
heard cries within. Breaking through
the roof, he pulled out his wife and
child, safe on floating mattress, which
was within one foot Of the ceiling.
On Jones Avenue a man, after a des-
perate effort, managed to help his sister
and her child to the roof of house,

road yards on Pavonia Avenue, Jersey
City. The damage is estimated at
$35O,0OO
For a time it looked as if the entire

water supply was poor, owing to re-

Thousands of persons gathered to
watch the fire and hampered the work
of the firemen. All the police reserves
in Jersey City were rushed to the
scene TO control the crowds. Firemen
off duty were called upon to help fight
the flames, for, owing to the two
platoon system, the force on duty was
insufficient.
The fire spread quickly through the
structure because of oil and grease

By that time the building was filled
with smoke.
Three alarms were sent in. and when
the fremen arrived they devoted their
efforts to keeping the flames from

several times.
