Part in Alleged Extortion
Case

A federal investigation is now un-
der way in the alleged extortion
case, as a result of which Salli Pig
l.atoro of South Pfainfield, is out un-
der bail, awaiting the action of the
grand jury. Pignatoro, according to
reports. is alleged to be the stool
pigeon of Federal Dry Agent John
G. Cooper of North Piainfeld, and
it is understood that the federal in
vestigation now being carried on is
to ascertain Cooper's connection
with the case.
1t is alleged that last Tuesday
Cooper and his driver, Pignatoro,
went to Bsottos' horne and found
two bottles of liquid said to have
been liquor. Pignatoro, 1t is charged.
in the presence of Cooper offered to
fix the matter up for a considera-
tion of $3.50. 1t is claimed by Bsot-
tos that he had only $40 at the time
and that Pignatoro took this, it is
said, and was promised the balance
the next day.
Pignatoro it is alleged extorted $40
from Joseph Bsottos of Wildwood
avenue, Fords, and falsely repre-
sented a dry agent. He was arrested
last Wednesday night by the Wood
bridge police and when arraigned
before Recorder Martin G. Ashley,
was held under $500 bail, for the
grand jury. The bail, consisting of
the real estate bond, was furnished
by Cooper, who claimed the affair
to be a frame-up.
Pignatoro was taken into custody
by the Woodbridge polices when he
returned alone the following night
to collect the balance. No charge
has been made against Cooper. 1t
is alleged that two witnesses saw
the $40 pass from Bsottos to Pig
natoro.

his office last Saturday to obtain
facts in the case and declared that
he intended to take the affidavit Is
of the two witnesses who are alleged

CARTERET MAN
SAVED At SEA
Was One of 3 of Crew of SO
Saved When Vessel Sunk
in February

HALIFAX, n. s., April 10.-Three
of the thirty-six members of the
crew of the Italian steamer Moncen-
Isle were all that were saved when
that vessel sank off the American
coast line last February !.
This information, the first to be
had since the vessels last S. o. S.
call was picked up February 10,
was received today by the parents
of Cecil Bevls, one of the crew, who
wrote from Carteret, New Jersey,
saying that he and two others had
been picked up and taken to Pana-
ma City by the rescue steamer. De-
tails of the rescue were not made
known.
Young Bevis wrote that the Mon
cenisic was hurled to the bottom
in 120-mile an hour gale, sinking
before the steamer Carhlaka and
other vessels could answer her wire
less appeals. The Carhlaka cruised
about the vicinity-latitude 1886
north, longitude 65.22 west-for
several days without getting trace of
the lost ship.
Cecil Bevis' story, III letter to
his parents at Halifax, n. S., of how
ne ana TWO oLner Officers ndu Deen
rescued from the Italian steamer
Moncenisio after It foundered at sea,
February is, came as a surprise to
William F. Hayward of Simpson,
Spence & Young agents for the ves-
sells owners.
at was our belief that all the
members of the crew of the lost
steamer were Italians" he said. mo
rescues of any of tine crew have ever
been reported. While We would like
TO believe Bevis' story the fact that
he doesn't mention the name of the
rescue ship or give any details of
the rescue, suggests that he might
be romancing. We are trying to
check up his story, however"

STATE BOARD MAY NAME
ROAD ENGINEER TODAY

There is a probability that the
State Highway Commission which is
in session today at Trenton, may Sc
lect the new state highway engineer
to succeed Thomas Wasser, who re-
signed when the new commission was
confirmed by the legislature. For
some weeks past the state has been
without an engineer and it is likely
that some action in this matter will
be taken without much further de-
lay.
During the past few weeks the
name of Senator Morgan f. Larson
OF this city, has been heard in con-
nection with this office, and al
though the senator has announced
that he is not candidate for the
job and will have to refuse it, if it
is rendered to him, still the reports
of his appointment continue to exist.

SAY RIPLEY DID NOT drive Death CAR
MAYOR TO AGAIN Refer
POLICE CASE TO BOARD

Mayor Wilson has received from
the aldermen teh original charges
preferred against Patrolman Louis
Hanson on March 1 3 and announced
this morning that he would again
refer this matter to the aldermen
for action at their meeting on Mon
day night. AS the aldermen rescind-
ed the police rules and regulations
under which the department was
being conducted doubt has arisen
as to what steps should be taken
with the Hanson case.
The mayor contends that the hear
ing of an officer against whom
charges are made is still a matter
for the aldermen and consequently
will again place the charges in the
hands of the aldermen. 1t is pos
sible that the aldermen at their
meeting on Friday night will take
up the matter of having new police
rules and regulations drawn up.

his wife were taken from their
berths in a Berlin-Essen train by
French railway guards last night

Herr SHINES, who had Just ar
rived in Berlin from his country
home, took the night train for Muel-
helm, where his chief industries are
situated. When the train reached
Scharnhorst, which is the first rail
point under French control, four
French railway guards entered the

number of the SHINES compartment.
They reused the industrialist and his
wife and led them to the baggage
car where the couple were locked
up.
This is Herr Shines second trip
to the Ruhr since the occupation.
The French authorities are said to
have been watching for him and his
