BRANDT, SLAIN BANDIT,
BURIED IN ". N. TUES.
Woman Defends Him, Mother
CollapSeS at Funeral Service,
Pals Active.

Last Friday morning William
Brandt, son of a retired police lieu
tenant of Jersey City, was killed by
Sergt. Arthur Hoffman of the Fair
view police in running pistol battle,
after holding up the manager of the
National Grocery Store at 212 Broad
avenue in Fairview. John Diedolf,
manager of the store, noticed Brandt
around his store. Diedolf notified
the Fairview police and for two days
Captain Magrino and Sergeant Hoff-
man had been concealed in the rear
room of the store. After the bandit
had been killed a friend OF his, Mrs.
A. Conteri, of 451 Twenty-first street,
West New York, offered to pay
pal" ''He was a man among men, -
she stated, "and 1 am going to see
that he gets proper treatment"
HE was hanging around with lot
of rats" Mrs. Conteri states, "and
will not see him go to a pauper's
grave" Then she broke down while
talking to the police and became al
most hysterical. Expensively clad in
furs and with considerable jewelry
she boldly stood UP for her hero and
defied anyone to say that he was any
thing but a man. The funeral took
place last Tuesday morning in Darge' $
undertaking parlors at Bergenline
avenue and Seventeenth street, West
New York, and laid away in Flower
Hill cemetery instead of at Hastings,
New York, as had been announced.
Monday evening, the mother of the
young man who had spurned his par
ents' advice and taken up with bad
company that led him into career of
crime, fell unconscious across her
sons coffin in the funeral parlors. The
services were held Monday evening,
Rev. Y. W. Hopper of Trinity Re-
formed Church, officiating.
The modus operandi of the robber
who held up the manager of the
Grantwood National Grocery Store
last Saturday night, bore the ear
marks of the same school which tu-
tored Brandt. The same GOODNESS
which characterized the slain gunman
was a part of the one who perpetrated
the latest hold-up and the fact that
the same territory was chosen as the
scene of the affair leads those who
have been following the matter to be-
lieve that the Cliffside Park bandit
was perhaps "the short fellow" who
with Brandt, recently held up a Ma
tional store in Ridgefield Park.
The question which naturally arises
in the minds of the police officers con-
cerned, is, Have friends of Brandt
declared vengeance and reprisal on
the National stores?" Or perhaps
Brandt was only private in the gang
involved in the chain store robberies,
of which there have been great
number in Bergen and Hudson coun-
ties, and has the "master-mind" de-
cided to put into effect his program
despite the death of one of his tools?

JUNCTION JANITOR JUMPS JUST IN
Time TO BE HAULED OUT OF HUDSON
and SAVED Been DESP0NDENT' /
Charlie Lndauer Eccentric at Times Leaps From Ferry
Boat and Is Hauled Out by Deckhand All Wet and
Detected

Charles Lindauer, better known as
Charlie" attempted to commit sui
eide on Wednesday by jumping off the
front end of the ferry boat Edge
water" while she was tied up to the
dock on the Edgewater side taking
on passengers for the next trip.
The story goes that Lindauer board
ed the ferry and walked through to
the front, deliberately opened the
safety gate and plunged into the
river Two deck hands attempted res
cue with life line, but Lindauer re-
sisted the attempt to save him, and a
small boat was put into use before
the rescue was effected.
He was taken to the Edgewater
Police Station and later sent to st.
Mary's Hospital in Hoboken, and will
be brought up for trial in the Edge
water court tonight charged with at
tempted suicide.
Charlie" was the janitor of the
Klein building at the Junction and
lived alone on the premises. He would
occasionally foster stray dog or cat,
being very fond of animals. 1t is re-
ported that he had one cat which he
liked particularly well. but it had be-
come a nuisance and, rather than give
it away, he pleaded with several per-
sons to kill it, believing that no one
would care for it as he did. His de-
sire was gratified Tuesday night and
the cat was killed.
Charlie" had an argument with
his employer on Tuesday night be-
cause of situation that arose in con-
nection with a defective lock on the
door of one of the Junction structures
and lively scene was the result. 1t
is reported also that he was under the
influence of intoxicants at the time.
He was inclined to be very dicta-
toriaf and often would express his
indignation at this thing or that and
at times felt quite respondent.
1t is also reported that he had been
drinking little the day he attempted
to end his life.
His condition was such following
the rescue, he could not make a state.
ment hence it is not known just what
was the cause of his action.

Ferryboats Get
Spring Cleaning

The ferryboat Hackensack, plying
between Edgewater and 125th street,
is being repainted and generally over
hauled for the summer season. The
four other boats of this line have un-
dergone the annual spring cleaning.
They are the Fort Lee, Edgewater,
Leonia, and Tenafiy.
The process consists in cleaning the
hulls and applying two coats of red
lead and a coat of anti-fouling, a chem
ical process which keeps the boats
free of grasses and seaweed. The in
teriors of each boat have been scaled
and repainted.

A NoN-PARTIsAN NEWSPAPER
Homes and Better
Citizenship

O1tIZenSn1p
Hundreds of thousands of
new homes have been built
in the United States during
the past year.
Owning a home tends
strongly to produce better
citizenship, both in children
and in adults.
The house owner has a
more direct interest than
has the flat renter in efficient
and economical government
and in the improvement of
his neighborhood and his
city, since anything that i'm
proves the commuuity's Soc
ial or physical condition in
creases the value of the
home owners property and
makes his home a better
place to live in.
1t used to be argued that
property owners paid all the
taxes and that renters es-
capped. The..fallacy of that
view is now we'll understood.
Indeed, rapidly as taxes have
gone up in the last few years,
the rents of flats and apart
ments have gone up still fas-
ter. The landlord has pass
ed his tax..burden- and more
on to his tenants.
1t is good for any COM
munity that the "own your
home" movement has made
such progress. That move
ment should be encouraged
in all proper ways.

Bruce's eyes. AT such times he could
tell how the fight was going by sound
alone-the snarls of the Killer, the
wild Oaths of Simon, the impact OF
the descending rifle butt. Bruce gave
no thought of taking part. Both were
enemies; his own strength seemed
gone. The cold deepened; Bruce
could feel 1t creeping into his blood,
halting its flow, threatening the spark
of life within him. The full light
of day had come out upon the land,

IT'S primitive passions were in play, all
its mighty forces at grips. The storm
seemed to be trying to extinguish
these mortal lives; jealous of their in

upon it, when it's winds swept end

Linda came stealing out of the snow
following the grizzly's trail-and
crept beside Bruce. She crouched be-
side him, and his arm vent about her
as if to shield her. She had heard
the sounds of the battle from afar;
she had thought that Bruce was the
contestant, and her terror had left
deep pallor upon her face; yet now
she gaZed upon that frightful conflict
with a strange and enduring calm.
Both she and Bruce knew that there
was but one sure conqueror, and that
was Death. If the Killer survived the
fight and through the mercy of the
forest gods spared their lives, there
remained the blizzard. They could
conceive Of no circumstances whereby
further effort would be of the least
avail.
The scene grew in fury. The last
burst Of strength was upon Simon;
In another moment he would be ex-
hausted. The bear had suffered ter
rible punishment from the blows of
the rifle stock. He recoiled once more.

His huge paw, with all his might be-

almost as fast as the bullets 1t had
often propelled from its muzzle, and
struck the trunk of a tree. SO hard
1t came that the lock was shattered
they heard the ring of metal The
bear rocked forward once more and
struck again. And then all the sound
that was left was the eerie complaint
of the wind.
Simon lay still. The brave fight
was over. His trail had ended fitting
ly--in the grip Of such powers as were
typical of himself But the bear did
not leap upon him to tear his flesh.
For an instant he stood like statue
In gray stone, head lowered, as if in
strange attitude Of thought. Then
the great grizzly uttered one deep
note and half-turned about. His eyes
rested upon the twan, but he did not
seem to see them.
Then he turned again and headed off
slowly, deliberately, directly into the
face of the storm.
