BY FLOODING CELLAR
Water and Bullets Used in Lit
tie Silver, N. j., to Capture
Alleged Burglar.

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.
LITTLE SILVER, N. j.. July 26.-This
town, which had excitement enough to
last it year early this morning when
tiremen and policemen combined to cap
ture an alleged post office burglar with
water and bullets, had another tremor
tonight when the home Of the postmas-
ter. Clark b. Kemp. was robbed. Some
one got into the house through rear
window, stealing revolver. diamond
ring and several articles of clothing.
while Kemp was at his office.
The county detectives said tonight
they believed the robbery was commit
ted by some local thief and that 1t had
no connection with the robbery Of the
pos. office. This robbery occurred
shortly before midnight. and about
o'clock this morning the authorities sue
ceeded In capturing James Ayres after
they had driven him to shelter in de-
serted house. Ayres took refuge in the
cellar, having first fired several shots
and wounding County Detective ]. B
Rue, and was caught after the fire de-
partments Of Little Silver and other viii
iages had flooded the cellar with water
forcing Ayres to come up.
Detectives said tonight that they had
got from Ayres the name Of another
man who aided in the robbery, and that
they are searching for him. He is said
to be a local man and his arrest Is ex-
pected soon. Ayres was arraigned be-
fore a Justice of the Peace in Red
Bank. He pleaded not guilty. but was
held for the Grand Jury.

| |UNTERMYER CLAIMS STATUE
AND BURIAL MYSTERY GROWS
Lawyer at Carlsbad Tells of Buying Marble Many
Years Ago. but Does Not Say How 1t Came
to Be in Ground.

Police Capt. Woodruff OF Yonkers who
has been looking into old histories and
gathering "reminiscences, said yesterday
that more than forty years ago the
statue was borrowed and usedd as a
piece of stage property at show given
for the benefit OF the police pension
fund of Yonkers. To back his state
ment there Is Clara Morris. actress, who
has lived in Yonkers since her retire
ment from the sage She said she ar-
peared in the performance at which the
statue was used.
Another version is that Gov. Tilden
had dishonest servant who after the
death of his employer stole number OF
valuable oil paintings and disposed OF
them to art dealers The statue, accord
ing to his story. was missed at about
the same time. and its disappearance
naturally was laid to the servant.
Still another story is that Demeter be-
longed to John T. Waring. who owned
Greystone even before 1t belonged to
Gov. Tilden. Miss Janet Waring, his
daughter. said she had heard that after
the estate passed into the hands of Gov
Tilden a tramp came to the back door
one day and asked for something 70
eat. The servant was a bit upstage, II
appears, and the temperamental tramp
picked UP q rock and smashed the statue
over the head AS the head was broken
the statue was considered Of little ac-
count and was buried.
And so Demeter. with all this mass OF
alleged history piling up, remains
propped up under guard at Greystone
waiting for Mr.. Untermyer to return
and settle it's lineage once for all.

Special Gable to THE New York HEsALp.
Copyright. 1929. by THE New YoRK HERALD.
CARLSBAD, July 26.-Samuel Inter
myer has been besieged by cabled re-
quests for permission 10 photograph the
statue OF Demeter exhumed on his es-
tate at Graystone. He ridicules the idea
that 1t belonged to the Tilden collection.
but says II is one of several Greek
statues he purchased many years ago.
Although experts professed the belief
that 1t was a real Praxlteles. he said.
its authorship was never confirmed.
The statement of Mr. Untermyer that
the statue OF Demeter did not belong to
the collection OF Samuel J. Tilden. from
whose estate be bought Greystone. adds
another story to the rapidly growing
mass OF fact and legend-mostly con-
f1icting-that has become attached to the
statue since 1t was dug up a week ago.
Mr.. Untermyer. all Yonkers historians
concerde. certainly should know whether
he bought the statue, but he does not
explain how 1t came to be buried. Until
he returns from Europe and turns his
legal mind to the task of tracing the
Ups and downs of Demeter and to clear
ing away the statements which will moi
stand up. the statue doubtless will re-
main an object of considerable mystery.
In the first place. there are old resi-
dents In Yonkers who say that Demeter,
or a statue remarkably like II, adorned
Getty Square many years ago, and that
il was nothing more important than a
piece of commercial art. On the other
hand. Isidor Konti, the sculptor. and
others have declared 1t to be pure
Greek and at least 1000 years old"

HEBRON NOTES

How strange 1t is that students, who
are paying for their education, both
III time and money, do not improve
each and every opportunity to learn.
Just why students will work harder
TO avoid work, than fail to do the
task in question is one OF the nncy-
plainable problems of boy life. How
ever this may be, students must

dents who receive failing grades for
the week will be assigned to the
study hall for the week following
failure. Fifty-seven students are in
the study hall This week. Present
indications are that the number will
be greatly reduced before the begin
hing of another week Hebron will
be satisfied only with the best in
scholarship, and this is an innovation
that means better work, stronger stu
dents and less failures.
