Burglars Make 4 More Hauls

Despite the vigilance of the police daring burglars continue to ply their trade in this city, the latest break to be reported being the forced en- trance to the home of Joseph w. Northrop of 2050 North avenue some time during the night. The break was reported this morning to the police by the Rev. Hal T. Kearns, who in the absence of the Northrop family in the South is looking after the house. According to the report telephoned by the Rev. MT. Kearns the house had been turned upside down and com pletely ranSacked.
 Rugs were removed from the floor, mattresses and pillows thrown from room to room and the house otherwise upturned as if the burglars had work ed leisurely but with a vengeance. Probably angered at their failure to find a goodly sum of money in the house they had torn pictures from the walls and broken priceless crockery and bric-a-brac apparently in a fit of rage.
 Police this morning were making a thorough investigation of the robbery but until the family returns from the South it will be impossible to obtain an accurte list of the missing loot. E. NJ. Jordan of 6S6 Main street reported to the police that some time during the night his store had been entered and candy and cigarettes to the value of $25 stolen.
 Twice last evening burglar was caught in a trap while surprised at his work but on both occasions he managed to make good his escape.
 Mrs. Lazare Garand of HAS Park ave- nue entered her home about o'clock and observed a man standing near a table in the dining room. Upon sight of him she cried out, the man at the same time brushing by her. He man. aged to make good his escape through a side door he is believed to have left ajar for just such an occasion. Upon his departure a search of the house was instituted by Mrs. Garand and the following articles found missing: gold watch chains. four bracelets, one string of pearls, one pair of ear rings. one pearl necklace, one platinum lavalliere set with pearls, a gold lavalliere set with pearls, a set of dia- monds. and SC in cash.
 William Lockwood of 57 Staples street heard a door open last night and after a short space of time when
 none of the family put in their ap- pearance he decided to investigate. In the hallway hiding behind a clothes rack he discovered a man who upon sight of him made a dash for the door and escaped.
 Samuel Van Stone of 159 Black Rock avenue reported the loss of a diamond ring. three other rings and a gold watch from his home. Mystery surrounds the manner in which en- trance was gained to the house as neither doors nor windows were found unlatched.

Act To Stop
 Rum Sales On V essels
Department of Justice Acting on Presidents Order, Ready to Screw Lid Tight on Sea Vio- lations-Foreign Ship Lines Hard Hit.

Washington, Oct. 7-The executive branch of the government was pro- ceeding to the immediate enforce ment today of the interpretation of the prohibition amendment and the enforcement act by the legal branch as prohibiting the transportation or sale of liquor on American vessels, wherever operated, and the presence of liquor on foreign ships anywhere within American territorial waters.
 Acting on orders issued by Pres1- dent Harding i1nm ediately after pub lication yesterday of the opinion hand ed down by the Department of Jus tice, Chairman Lasked of the Shipping Board was moving to stop at once government ships, while Secretary Mellon was proceeding to give due notice to private owners, the prohibi- ton as to both to take effect at once, or as soon as vessels reach home ports. The treasury secretary also was charged with the formulation of regu- lations for the enforcement as to foreign ships, to begin as soon as such regulations can be promulgated.
 The next development awaited in the situation is foreseen by both At torney General Daugherty and Chair man Lasker, was a move by foreign lines to secure a final determinat ation in the courts of the application of American dry laws to foreign ships entering American territorial waters.
 In the opinion these were construed to include waters not only within the three mile limit of continental United States, but also of the Philippines, the gin Islands and Alaska, the Panama Canal Zone being exempted because of it's specific exemption in the en- forcement statute itself.

Human Fly . Wrist During Climb

More than 5000 people watched with bated breath yesterday as Harry G Gardner, otherwise known as the Human Fly" climbed up the side of the three-storied Sha1et building, shinned up swaying flag pole atop the building and then hung his white duck cap on the giIded ball which tops the flag pole.
 It was quite stunt for a man a1- most 52 years old, which is Gardner s age. After he had given his fright ened watchers this thrill, Gardner went to the adjoining building and scaled three more stories of closely webbed brick walls. He was forced to give up this ascent, however, when the pressure of his fingers upon the slippery walls caused him to strain his right wrist He did not attempt an ascent of the Liberty building on Main street because the police forbid it. fearing a tieup of traffic
 The t'stunt" was performed for the building fund of Raymond w. Harris Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars whose members circulated among the crowd and collected donations of $31e.

Murder Probe
 Points To Mills
 Or Hall F Family

New Brunswick N. J., Oct. 7.- John F. Toolan, assistant prosecutor of Middlesex County, when ssked to- day by newspaper men as to the progress made in solving the murder of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs Eleanor R. Mills, said:.
 Tt looks as if the inquiry is point ing into the Mills or Hall family. Somewhere in one of them there is some one who appears to know more than has been told.
 Mrs. Hall has not reacted natural ly. She has shown no interest in her husbands death but instead has gone into seclusiOn and will see no one."
 State troopers met a peculiar set of circumstances in interviewing IT women members of the church. All told exactly the same story. All said that they had noticed Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills were together a great deal but had thought little about it. The troopers discovered that all of the women questioned had met in an un- official way last Friday night.
 In an effort to run down definitely rumors that the rector and Mrs. Mills had planned to go to Japan or other foreign country, troopers have begun inquiries to determine if any appli- cation had been made for passports.
 Long Creek, which threads the Phillips property, where the bodies were found, was dragged by the troopers searching for a pistol, but none was found.

The Ruth-Groh Row,

Chief gossip among the fans this morning while they were wondering whether or not the weather man would permit a, game was the Babe" Ruth and Heinie Groh ''run-in'' during yes- terday's game. Ruth was made the target of much criticism for his at tempt to punch GrOh when he was caught on the base lines. Friends of Ruth argued that Groh should have moved out of the Bambino's way when he shot down the line in an effort to reach third base.
 It was also rumored that when Ruth came into the Giant quarters for the meeting the trouble that had ensued when he crashed into Hefnie Groh at third base during the game was re- Sumed after manner more fistic than vocal. It was said that Ruth had aimed punch at the nearest and most convenient jaw as he stepped through the doorway.
 According to those present, nothing could be. learned further from the truth There was no fight, no argu- ment, merely a little semi-friendly spoodng, Frank Frisch having the final word when he suggested that xhe would be willing to take on the R@Ibe provided the latter would agre@ to make 133 pounds ringside1
 The Giants of course, are a con- 1dent, cocky crew today. They are rising high on the crest of the wave. and unless the Tanks can begin man handling some of McGraw's best pitchers the series will end in an early and abrupt manner.
 The Yankee ineptttude to date is due as much to weak hitting as to Giant pitching. Jess Barnes may have had something in Thursdays game but if he did the matter was kept a profound secret. Yet he held the Tanks to three runs in ten in nings.
 Scott and Nehf, on the contrary were good enough to beat any team in the land. Nehf will be back today and very possibly Hugh McOuiIlan will step into the box score for the arst time tomorrow. In spite of the fact that that he carried the Yankees to three-all tie in ten innings, it is thought that Barnes is through for the series, except as relief pitcher.

Island Rental
 Will Go Into
 Sinking Fund

Mayor Fred Atwater has come to a decision relative to the disposal of the rental money from steeplechase Island which amounts to $15,OOO. "After a confer ence with the city auditor l have decided to deposit the $15,OOO Steeplechase rental money in the Sinking fund, ' the mayor said today.
 ."There it will be safe. When the Steep1echase bonds fall due we will fund to redeem them. Hitherto it has been the custom, I am told, to take such revenue as that received from Steeplechase Island and use it for bonds for which that particular reve- nue was received fell due the admin istration was forced to play game of hide and seek to find money to take care of the bonds falling due. In many cases I recall the administration was forced to issue further bonds to take care of those redeeming.
 My plan is to take all the revenue received from Steeplechase Island and put it in the Sinking fund where we will known where it is and where it will be when we want it. Then when the Steeplechase bonds fall due we will have sufficient revenue to take care of them.
 With the rental money from the Island being on a sliding basis the money to take care of the bonds will be greater each year. Next year the My plan is to take every penny of that money and add it to this years $15,OOO in the Sinking fund.-
 The mayor declared that if the money was put in a contingent fund or classed as unappropriated it might be foolishly used for some purpose that is not urgent. The mayor inti- be too cautious in leaving a spare S15,00O or so around where the hungry eyes of some of the council may rest on it, and then make a dive for the money.
 The s15,ooo rental revenue has been a subject of long discussion Alder man Hogan in a resolution to the council asked that the city attorney be called upon to give an opinion as to how the S15,0O0 could be classed. He was seeking money for his Sol diers' Field project for which the Board of Apportionment has declared there is no money.
 Town Clerk c. E. Winton is seeking $1,000 for extra clerk hire from an unappropriated revenue source which the apportionment board has declared 1t has not. He also wanted to know what the Steep1echase rental money was classed as.
