Chase CypSieS From
City After Two
Bands Are Arrested
They Are Charged With Get
ting Money Under False
PretenSes Here

Two women members of a band of
gypsies operating as phrenologists
in a store on State street between
Fayette and Center streets were ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Lieu
tenant Detectives John Huff and Jo-
seph Gutowski and Detective John
Murray on charge of collecting
money under false pretenses.
When the women appeared in
court last night they were repre-
sented by Harry E. Medinets and
David T. Wilentz represented John
Krezsi, a poor man of Nixon who
was minus $293 as a result of his
experience with the gypsies. The
attorney for the defendants told the
court that the defendants were sa-
tisfied to return the money to the
complaining witness, to surrender
their license for the practice or
phrenology which cost them $25c
and to leave the town at a time set
by the court.
Realizing that the opportunity 20
rid the town of these people who
might well be termed trouble max
ers" was worth more than a $1,000
fine Recorder Pickersgill decided to
place Monday night at o'clock as

out of town. According to the agree
ment made the gypsies can never ask
for the return of the $3.50 they paid
for the license.
Chief Niels J. Tonnesen said this
morning that he hoped the outcome
of this case would be the end of the
gypsies in this city. 1t is understood
that the license given the gypsies
has been returned to the city clerk.
The women arrested were: Walgor
Miller, thirty seven and Mary Evans
thirty five and in court last night
they were accompanied by their re-
spective husbands and children. 1t
is said the women agreed to rid the
man of some ailment but never Duc-
ceeded in improving his condition.
This same band has had head
quarters in various sections Of the
city the past several months, the
police say.

every thing points to the fact that
there will be considerable more

As a result of burned out motor.
the state bridge at Albany street,
over the Raritan river. has almost
crippled traffic since yesterday
morning. The motor became out of
commission at 10 o'clock, tying up
the traffic for over forty minutes.
Shortly after i o'clock in the after
noon the motor trouble kept the
movement of vehicles at stand
still for nearly two hours. while. an
ether occurrence at the height OF the
evening rush found the traffic seek
ing a new thoroughfare by the way
of the River road.
Electricians of the State Highway
Commission kept busy most of last
night bringing the motor in shape,
but without result. This morning
the electricians removed the motor
and hurried away to the repair plant.
It was said this morning it will take
two or three days to make the re-
pairs.
In the meantime the congestion at
that point continues. The bridge IS
being opened by hand, which motion
lasts for about an hour, in the mean
time upholding the traffic.

CAPE MAY, Dec. 16.-Recent
storms off shore in this locality have
been a great help to rum runners

Jacob Shaw, construction COM

Two large consignments Of

Shipping men and Delaware Bay

beach is no longer patrolled by
coast guards and there are NJ
houses. In many places the high

EDGAR HILL SECTION
Say it is Up to Township Off
CiaIs to Push Fight Against
Franklin Company

WOODBRIDGE, Dec. 16.-Resi-
dents of the third district, particu-
larly those who are members of the
Northend Taxpayers Association will
not permit the Franklin Contracting
Company to erect the plant which
they plan for Edgar hill section of
the Township, without fighting each
move the company makes. If the
plant is erected and put in opera
tfon, the association will fight every
step of the way, it was learned to-
day and will get an injunction
against the operation of the plant If
It becomes a nuisance.
The general opinion, seems to be,
according to member of the asso-
citation today, that it is up to the
township committee to protect their
action in refusing the company a
permit to erect the plant. 1t is un-
derstood the association believes that
if the committee has power to with
hold the permit, it should defend
this action in the courts and have
Strengthened out for all time wheth-
power to grant or refuse these per-
mits.
The association, it is said, will in
sist that the committee take up this
matter and fight it to the limit. and
ii the company still has the right to
erect the plant, then the association
itself will take up the matter and
go to higher courts. Walter Auten,
an attorney of Newark, represents
the association, and it is understood
that he will continue to look after
the interests of the taxpayers.
1t is pointed out that even if the

over the other residential section,
and this will create nuisance and
be a detriment to health. The peo-
pie of Athena. who it is alleged are
: trying to get rid of the Franklin
plant at this place. will be called
upon to aid the taxpayers associa-
ton in the courts if necessary.
Even though the plant is erected,
the taxpayers association is of the
opinion that its operation may be
stopped by Injunction proceedings,
and point to the case of the Sepoy
Chemical Company. which was
closed upon injunction proceedings
out sending forth fumes that createo
! nuisance to the taxpayers.
1t is also pointed out that the
company purchased the thirty-six
acres Of land after the ordinance
was nassed and for this reason knew

that Edgar. when he started

property that the site would always

Some hold that the people OF

much trouble at that place .,nd are
now seeking to obtain an injunction

there, that the company desired TO

is assured, and that is, that the peo-
