BOGUCKt THOUGHT
N|FE'S WARNING
WAS FALSE ALARM
Other Nocturnal Scares Were
Imaginary So He Remained

THIS ONE WAS VERY REAL

II John s. Bogucki. proprietor Of a
large general store ct 4l4-4i6 Mary

warning that there We're thieves in
the building. last night, he would
net now be bemoaning the loss of
about 5000 worth OF merchandise. The
Bogucki family live on the third floor
OF the building and the store is on
the first floor.
Three times within the past TWO
weeks, Bogueki said. he has left his

However. il was thieves this time,
as it subsequently developed.
Entrance was gained by cutting a
pane of glass in a door in the rear
Of the store. Before the thieves could
get tc the door. however. they had TO
climb a fence along Nancy street.
IN the rear Of the store. and then
unfasten a screen door. The door was
taken off its hinges with screw
drives. which was found in the yard
this morning.
After cutting the glass it was an
easy matter TO turn the latch on the
inside of the door. 1t is evident that
the thieves ussd fiashlight, or We're
very familiar with the interior, as goods
in the store were not badly disar-
ranged. There were no signs that the
cash register and the safe, which
contained a. large sum OF money,
watches and jewelry. were tampered
with.
The stolen goods were taken out of
boxes and, IL is believed, wrapped in a
big sheet. which is missing. Three
silk shirts and some underwear were
taken from the show window.
The stolen goods included six foun-

State Tax Commissioners NJ Howard
Jester to accept the return made by
Charles n. Ryan. without the 50 Ming
fee. This suit is really a suit to> de-

The decision of the court en- banc
viii be flnal In this case az Il is agreed
by counsel to accept the decision of
the court en- banc as final and not
take the case to any higher court.
The case Is a test ono made by
Charles n. Ryan. 40 offered 10 flo
his income tax report, but declined 10
pay the 81 fling fee.
Attorney General Townsend and
Deputies Finger and Southcriand rep
resented the State. while George ".
Davis and c, G. keedy represented
Ryan.
Ryan's counsel contend that the flI-
ing fee is really a capitstlon tax in
violation OF section Of article &. of
the State Constitution. and that the
act requiring the payment OF the 80
filing fee deals with several subjects.
which are not expressed in the title,
while the title should contain every
thing in the act. and is therefore un-

MARTHA VANDERSL|CE
REPORTED KIDNAPPED
Penn's Grove Child Said to
Have Been Carried Away
by an Aunt.

STAFF Correspondence of Every Evening
Penn's Grove. ". j., Feb. 3.--On her
way to school yesterday morning.
Martha Vanderslice. eight years old
daughter of William S. vanderslice
of Harmony street, was picked up by
a woman and man in an automobile
and driven away.
Last night Mrs. Rebecca Reign OF
Pedricktown, an aunt of the child
was arrested on a charge of kidnap-
ping and held without bail after a
hearing before Justice of the Peace
stanton u. Cole. The woman was
taken TO the county Jail at Salem,
where she is making an effort TO se-
cure her release on bail. through the
Court of Common Pleas. which alone
has the right to grant bail on a charge
of kidnapping.
The girl, in company with two other
children, was about two blocks from
the school house when an automobile
occupied by a man and woman drove
ahead of them.and stopped. The wo-
nan got out Of the>car, and. walking
over TO the children. bodily picked up
the Vanderslice girl And carried her to
the machine. which drove away at
high speed.
Martha's companions ran 10 her
home and notified the father. who,
from a description of the woman
thought he recognized the abductor.
Vanderslice went before Justice of
The Peace Cole and swore out war
rant for the arrest of Mrs. Reign. a
sister OF the child's mother. who died
about six years ago.
In company with Constable Walter
y. West, Nanderslice went TO Pedrick-
town, where they found the child at
the Reign home, according TO the
authorities. Mrs. Reign was arrested
and brought TO this place.
The families have had trouble ever
since the motheNs death, over the
possession OF the child il is said. Mrs.
Reign, it is reported. stated at the
hearing that Marthas mother on her
death bed said she did not want Van
derslice to have the child. Since then
the child's grandparents and other
relations have made various attempts
to lure her away from vanderslice, it
is understood. The child is now al
the home tof her father.
