WOODBRIDGE, May 14:-While
two of the bandits captured after a
gun battle early yesterday morning
at Avenel are recovering from their
serious bullet wounds, railroad de-
tectiyes of the Pennsylvania system,
assisted by police authorities
throughout the state, are tightening
the net on the fourth robber who
dashed into the waiting touring car,
probably with bullet in his body,
and made a successful getaway.
John Francis Hull, forty years old,
of Teaneck, alleged ringleader, lies
in the Railway hospital with bull
let wound in his right chest. and
Walter Dunn, alias Duffk of Jersey
City. Is the other victim slowly re-
covering from the many shots fired
at him during the shooting furry.
Hull and Dunn are under the sur
,eillance of police officer at the
hospital who holds two warrants for
their arrest.
Stephen Zampella, who first said
his name was George Rizzo and gave
fictitious address in Newark, isI in
Middlesex county Jail in defaultl of
$4,000 bail which was set by Acting
Recorder Leon McElroy following a
hearing yesterday. Residents of
. Woodbridge Township are making
rommendatory remarks of the stern
action taken by Mr.. McElroy in fix
ing high bail to discourage Similar
robberies in the future.
Three out of the four men were
trapped at o'clock yesterday morn
Ing in the act of removing more
than $4,000 worth of general mer-
H. f..<z Et.AI Ifrl. n
waiting auto truck by six railroad
detectives and five officers of the
Woodbridge police. Many shots were
by the bandits with the police. but
injured.
The scene of the battle was Ave-
mel, at the Durecon Chemical Pro-
ducts Company siding, where tie
freight car was dispatched. An all
night vigil was maintained by the
police prior to the fighting. Shortly
before o'clock in the morning the
robbers made their appearance and
started 10 unload the goods on the
truck. After a dozen boxes of mer-
chandise had been placed on the
truck the officers at a signal burst
upon the gang. Zampella ran into
the freight car, while the three
others engaged in the tullet battle.
The bandits did not give up until
they staggered to the ground as they
attempted to flee.
The railroad police, according.
v5etectives. lad been tipped off that
q yard conductor was the head of a
big robber gang. 1t was found that
through changing the cards on the
cars. sent them to isolated places
where the goods could be easily re-
moved and carried away. These
cars were originally destined to big
cities like Philadelphia or Pitts
burgh.
Monday, the railroad detectives
were informed that Hull is getting
ready to despatch philadelphia
car to Avenel. 1t was decided that
he should proceed with his plan,
which he had done. The arrest OF
the three men is expected to break
ur a gang of robbers who have loot

Prince of Wales

The title of prince of Wales; be-
slowed on the male heir first In line
to succession to the throne Of Great
Britain, originated In the Fourteenth
century. Edward I. king Of England.
who accomplished the conquest of
Wales, created the title in 1901.
Tradition has it that when a baby
prince was born In one Of the castles
newly built in Wales by the victorious
monarch, the baby was presented to
the Welsh people as. a prince "who
could not speak English" When the
boy was seventeen, according to the
story, his father formally made him
prince of Wales. He later became
King Edward. II. His son, Edward Ill,
was known as Edward of Windsor and
was never made prince Of Wales. But
It has since become an invariable Gus
tom to honor the heir to the throne In
this way.
The title is not hereditary, but must
te created for each prince so hOnored.
Being purely honorary, no power or
authority is attached to it, although
parliament votes yearly sum for the
support Of its holder.-Detroit News.

CANADA'S FLOATING
CITY STILL THRIVES
Citizens Of Simeon Engage
in LAUNDERING Along Coast.

In the Inside Passage Of the Pacific
ocean on the British Columbia coast
Is Canada's only floating city-Simoon
City. It is now seventeen years old
II has no need for fire or police de-
partments and Its citizens pay no
taxes.
This novel town was formed to meet
the needs of its residents. Along the
British Columbia coast are many
mountains the sides of which dip into
the ocean. These mountains are COW:
cred with rich timber growths. AS
1t Is a difficult matter to establish
camps for those working these tir5er
tracts. big operators have passed them
by. and as a consequence the citizen
of Simeon City is enabled to obtain
many valuable timber holdings.
When permission to cut the timber
has been obtained. explains the Cana
dian Pacific railway in bulletin de
scri ing the floating town, the citizen
attaches his floating house to row
boat or motorboat and moves It to
the scene of his intended operations
Often two or three will band together
and take up concession. When the
logs are cut they ARE shot into the
water by chutes. or sometimes. II the
mountainside Is particularly steep, BY
gravity. The logs are then put to
gether in the form of raft and towed
to the nearest lumber mill.
When operations have been discon
tinued the loggers tow their houses to
Simeon City, where there are now
eight permanent dwellings. There is
no lack of entertainment. There are
parties, dances. hunting and other
forms Of amusements to interest the
citizens until they again start out to
their concessions. If the dweller tires
of local entertainment 1t is only a
short distance to Vancouver.
There is one store in the city.
About seventeen years ago a business
man of Vancouver. realizing the need
of q general store to cater to the
wants of these floating homes, fitted
up an old floating house, which he
moved up and down the coast supply
ing the wants Of the logger. With the
establishment Of permanent dwellings
at Simeon City. he anchored his boat
there, and, according to latest reports,
Is doing thriving business. In add
ton, the city also boasts post office.
and a letter addressed to Simeon City
Is handled with the same dispatch as
that addressed to one Of the larger
and more populous centers on the
mainland.

Paying Hin, OF

A certain man In this city Is in
clined to be pompous and obstinate. "A
little while ago he visited the navy
yard In Charlestown, and somehow he
managed to get aboard vessel from
which visitors were at the time ex-
cluded. An officer encountered him
upon the deck and told him that he
could not remain. The visitor swelled
up and said that he was citizen of
the United States. that as such he
owned part Of the warship upon which
he was standing, and that he had full
right to be aboard and would not de-
part.
The officer looked at him a moment.
Then he walked over to an anchor
chain and with his pocket knife
scraped a bit of rust from it. Return
ing sto the visitor, he extended the
fake Of rust to him and said:
