Report Holdup


At LAS o'clock this morning,
Henry LIGHTER, of Brooklyn, report
ed to Acting Lieutenant John Lar
son at police headquarters that his
truck in charge of Charles Fedden,
chauffeur was stolen on New Bruns-
wick avenue at about S:45 o'clock.
LIGHTER told the lieutenant that he
ontinued his investigation and learn
ed that the truck was in an accident
on State street an hour later, and
that it was latef abandoned on Am
boy avenue near the Maurer roa.l.
The top of the truck was damaged,
the police were notified.
Acting Sergeant John Reager was
called to headquarters and sent out
with Chauffeur William Buchan.
They learned the truck was driven
into a yard on State street and it
is said, the two police officers found
fifty barrels of beer, which probably
were unloaded from the stolen truck.
Police officers were stationed on duty
in the vicinity of the yard this morn
ing and Chief Tonnesen has COM
inundated with the prohibition auth
critics.
The police have been given the
number Of touring car which is
said to have participated in the
holdup. There have been numerous
lrumors going the rounds in this city
of late regarding robberies and hold
ups in this city of trucks and other
vehicles containing beer and whis-
key.
LIGHTER and Fedden were at head
quarters this morning and appeared
before Recorder Pickersgill to re-
port the holdup. LIGHTER admitted
having beer in the truck and was
without the names of any of the
men in the holdup party, so was
advised to obtain writ of replevin
in the district court. The owner of
the truck and the driver are being
held at headquarters pending the
arrival of the prohibition men.
Late this morning, it was learned
that LIGHTER and Fedden, owner
and driver, respectively of the truck,
were booked on charges of illegal
transportation of beer. Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrews came to headquarters and
made known their intention of press
ing a reckless driving charge against
the man in charge of the truck, at
the time the accident happened.
The councilman has attached the
alleged stolen truck, inasmuch as
his touring car is not covered by
insurance.
At press time, the prohibition
agents had failed to put in an ap-
pearance to seize the beer, which,
il is said, is stored in an outer State
street yard. Police officers are on
duty in the yard, watching the beer.

A. A., will cavort in the center pas
ture, and Roy Miller, Marshall and
Ball star, will be found in right
field.
Drach To Be Watched
There is real interest conferred n
the coming of Southpaw Drach, a
slow ball artist. Drach pitched the
Ridgewoods to a decisive win over
the Amboys last season, holding the
locals to two hits while A1cer Jen-
sen received quite a pasting from the
hard-hitting Brooklyn club. The
Ridgewood manager contemplates
a%nnexing two real victories in, this
state over the weekend, the Recrea-
tons at Plainield this afternoon and
the Amboys here tomorrow after
noon
Burnett, former field manager OF
the Plainfield R~ecreations, is to
manage the local nine on the field
and his peppery leadership tactics
should make a hit here. He is tho
first outsider to come to this city as
a semi-pro field leader and Man
ager Ed Poulsen has chosen the
right man for the position.
The Ridgewoods are q free hitting
team and Manager Poulsen is of the
opinion that this city now has a
hard hitting organization. Gringrass
who welded a white-wash brush in
a game against the Lincoln Giants
of New York city, is confident that
he can stem the willows of the
Ridgewoods, and Drach likewise is
confident as far as the local stlckers
are concerned. Lorenzo is the only
man on the local roster who has
batted against Drach.
The season opening is scheduled
for 3:15 o'clock and the game should
be over well before the arrival of
night. After the real summer sea
son arrives, the games will be start
ed regularly at $3.50 o'clock. The
Amboys will take the field in new
uniforms tomorrow. Last Sunday
the Bloomfield -Amboy contest was
called Off on account of rain and
the Bloomfield club will be carded
for a later date.
