GETTING TOGETHER,

We are noting with growing satis-
faction the, many evidences of the
'get-together' spirit which is surely
taking possession OF our town and
community. The Chamber Of Com
mcrce is one of the outgrowths OF
this spirit, and our splendid water
works system is entirely due to the
fact that we are getting together in
Il solid mass. The city hall and many
other improvements now in prospect
arc directly truceable and due to the
fact that we have gotten together to
work for the interest Of our town,
community and section.
Another evidence Of this spirit was
the formation last week Of "The Cur
tain Comedy Company, an organiza-
ton perfected under the auspices of
the Civic League for the avowed pur-
pose Of putting over" the new cur
tain for our splendid High School
Auditorium. Our information is TN
this company has perfectly organized
from the star performers to the door
keepers, and every citizen OF the
town is Il member in some MANNER.
II YOU do not happen to be called on
to.act in some official capacity, or as
a performer, remember tha. you arc
called upon to be booster" and
that you are TO do your best to fur
Their the good work Of this orgnnizA-
ton.

LOSES s2,150
IN BUNC0 GAME
Alleged Confidence Game
Leads to Arrest of Man at
Ferry Here.

Michael Zwiercan, OF 753 State
street. is short exactly S2.15O today
as the result of a successful conn.,
dence game worked on him yester-
day by three strangers. at least one
of whom is from New York. Peter
Roaro, twenty-niue years old, a
Spaniard, who gave his address as
2O3 West Tenth street, New York
City. Is in custody at police head
quarters charged with completely IN
the game. He was arrested at the
ferry at $3.50 o'clock last night by
Patrolman Michael Patten, shortly
after the swindie became known.
Patten made his arrest soon after
Mrs. Zwiercan became suspicious OF
the intentions of the three smooth
strangers who had been SO friendly
with her husband for the past two
weeks. After the deal that involved
the $4,000 was completed and the
men had departed. Mrs. Zwiercan
convinced that her husband had been
victimized, made known her suspi-
cions at the police station and word
was sent out to all policemen. Pat
ten made the arrest when Roaro at
tempted to leave Perth Amboy by
the Tottenville ferry.
The game alleged to have been
worked by Roaro and his confeder-
ates is the same old Spanish switch
that has gathered in so many VIC
Tins in this city. According to the
Investigation conducted by the po-
lice, Zwiercan was asked to partici-
pate in the purchase of piece OF
property somewhere in the city. Tne
price was somewhat in excess OF
$4,000 and in proof of good faith,
the victim was asked to produce
his money. To raise the amount
Immediately, Zwiercan mortgaged
his home for $4,000 and secured the
cash. The next proposal OF the
con- men was that Zwiercan keep
all the money involved in the deal,
which would include $4,000 of the
strangers cash. The money was duly
locked in an attractive box. with a
strong lock, but before the strong
box was placed in Ziercan's hands
it was substituted for another con-
tainer holding a pretty, but worth
less, assortment of folded paper.
Captain Lawrence A Long. head
of the detective force. is in New York
working on the case today and inter-
esting developments are promised.
1t is declared that Roaro has rec
ord in such cases.
Zwiercan declares he has learned
his lesson. At the police station
this morning, he said that he was
turning over all his property to his
wife and that in future she would
have charge of his financial affairs.
The s2,150 lesson was evidently ef-
fective. for Zwiercan departed in his
car this morning fervently stating
he was through with plausible
strangers

Although the impression gained
by all of those who heard and felt
the explosion was that one or more
magazines had blown up. Major
Macdonald. commandant at the ar
senal. denied that there had been
any accident and explained that
every precautionary measure possi-
BILE had been taken before defonat-
ing the powder.
Detective Ferd A. David. of the
prosecutors Office, got in communi-
cation with the arsenal at once and
was told that the Columbia Salvage
Corporation has a contract with the
government to salvage these she1lz.
Owing to the danger of removing the
shells while loaded, Major MacDon-
aid said, the powder is removed at
the plant, buried in the meadows
near the round-house at a safe dis
tance from the magazines and stor-'
age sheds and then detonated.
The explosion had been pre-ar-
ranged, the major explained. evers
precaution being taken to preven-
any injury or damage being done.
1t was impossible to secure an esti-
mate of the amount OF powder
which was destroyed in the explo-
sion.
According to information received
at the arsenal. three lots of powder
were detonated this morning, but
the explosions resulting from tns
first two were not heard in Perth
Amboy. 1t is generally believed thar
in detonating the third lot. much
larger supply was used with the re-
sulting explosion which shook build
ings for miles around and was heard
| twenty miles away.
No sooner had the sonzr1 1un
died away than inquiries from those
who heard the explosion. began 10
come into the News office over the
wire. The Raritan Arsenal was inn
mediately got in touch with and
officials there said statement would
be forthcoming in about half an
hour. That was all the information
that could be secured at the time and
the character and extent of the blast
was thus left in doubt.
Rumors began to fly at once. ow<
ing to the general knowledge here
of the large number of shells and
great amount of explosives stored af
the plant The statement from Ma
jor Macdonald, which was forthcom-
ing about thirty minutes after the
explosion, set at rest these reports
and relieved the feelings Of many.
especially those who have relatives
working at the arsenal.
The sound of the explosion SEEM
ed to follow the water. it being heard
with great Intensity south Of Smith
street. Some of the residents along
Market street. rushed out OF their
homes and looked in the direction
OF Bonhantown. apparently expects
ing to see smoke and prepared for
another similar explosion
Staten Island felt the fun force OF
the explosion. The entire island was
shaken in reports coming in from
that place by telephone. In Totten :
Vile houses trembled and dishes
ratified on the shelves. The shock
was distinctly felt at Stapleton and
st. George. The police of Staten Is :
land were kept busy answering teie-
phone calls Immediately afterw ard.
The sound at first was thought 10
have come from Morgan and many
remembered the explosion at tn3x
place in 1918.
