PERTH mm EVENING NEWS. * ? ?? y0L. n NO. 244 PERTH AMBOY, N. J.. FBIDAY, MAY 15, 19(13. SECOND EDITION 1 POLICE BELIEVE THEY HA VE RIVER THIEVES. Important Arrests Made last Night When two Young Men, who have i been Living on Board a Sloop were Taken into Custody..Since their Appearance Things have been Missing Along Shore. What the police believe to be the most important capture made by them in a long while was accomplished last night when Chief Burke, with Officers Long, Huff and McDermott went along shore and arrested two well dressed young men. The police suspect the prisoners as being the river thieves who have been causing all kinds of things to disappear on both sides of the river front during the past few weeks. The men gave their names as Ernest and Edward Scott, aged twenty-one and twenty-three years old respective ly, of 314 East 59th street, New York. The police believe these are not their right names. The young men were taken into custody in a very quiet manner just as they landed on shore from a small boat into which the officers had watched them row from a large sloop-rigged yaoht. The police are inclined to believe this sloop has been stolen. The yacht is fully worth a 11000 and had been fitted up for a cruise. Mr. Acker, of Market " street, who, as told in yesterday's News, reported that a batteau, two dynamos and a number of brass fit tings had been stolen from his ma chine shop near Sea Breeze on Staten Island, determined that the oulprits should be oaught, if possible. His suspicion rested upon persons aboard the yacht already mentioned which has been at anchor off Tottenville since Saturday last. As Mr. Decker's power boat had also disappeared the police on the island were notified and, night before last, a police patrol boat with a police sergeant aboard, came down from New York and the yacht was boarded about 11 o'olock. After carefully investigating evety thing on board and questioning the young men they reported to Mr. Acker that nothing was found upon which an arrest oould be made. The officers even "guyed" Mr. Acker and oalled him "farmer" for having the police search the sloop. This aroused Mr. Acker and he re ported the matter to Chief Burke who detailed Detective Huff upon the case yesterday. Chief ?urke had assured Mr. Acker that the men would be arrested on general principles as soon as they set j foot in Perth Amboy and their plans were made accordingly. The first thing Deteotive Huff notioed was that the boats name was missing. Then, during the course of his investigation, J the men suddenly* pulled up anchor and sailed to this side of the sound. Huff noticed that they were clumsy in handling the boat. These few facts were reported to Chief Burke. The chief was satisfied that they were on the right track and concluded that the men would come ashore dur ing the night. According thevj wait ed for them and the arrest followed. At police headquarters both prison ers told conflicting stories concerning themselves. Furthermore it was dis covered that the one giving his name aB ' ' Ernest' ' greatly resembles a young SALE OF CAKES, pies and delicacies from 3 to 5 o'olock Saturday after noon.

The polioe have the piotnre of Rien and the fellow now tinder arrest so nearly resembles it that the polioe are satisfied that he is the same man. William VanPelt identified him this morning as the man who stole his boat last summer. The young men said the boat's name is "Essie" bat the polioe foand the letters which spell "Pinochle" under a oushion in the cabin that had been ripped from the stern of the yessel. Dress suit cases, provisions, silverware, in fact everything to make am equipment for a cruise was found aboard the vessel. Nothing, however, was found that would connect them with the recent robberies. i-'he Chief says the men have been negotiating to buy an engine for the yacht and, failing in this, he thinks they tried Decker's power boat with the intention of abandoning the yacht. Finding that'they could not manage the power boat, Chief Burke argues, they abandoned it. for it was found later adrift, and then went back to the yacht. When arraigned before Reoorder Pickersgill this morning, the young men were remanded until tomorrow morning awaiting a further investigation. The local police are particularly de lighted over the capture and the web of evidenoe they are now weaving about the prisoners beoaise of the efforts of the New York polioe to arrest the thieves and afterward giving up the chase. In reply to a telephone inquiry Chief Burke mad6 to police headquart ers in New York this morning, word was received later today that the owner of tne yacht, accompanied by an officer would, come here this after noon and prefer charges against the prisonersfor stealing the boat.

Declared the Victor of Wrestling Match With Sharkey When Latter Refused to Go On. INJURED SHOULDER. Large Crowd Watch the Contest In Wilder Hall Last Night? Sharkey won the First Fall and Hansen the Second? Crowd Seemed Dissatisfied and Some Cried ' Fake '. There is much dissatisfaction am our the sports about town today over the wrestling match between Hansen and Tom Sharkey in Wilder Hall last night. Sharkey won the first boot and Hansen the second At the close of the latter it was annoanoed that Sharkey's shoulder had been injured and Dr. H. M. Brace was called into a private room to make an examina tion. After waiting a short time Referee Jones announced that, acting ou the advice of the physician, Shar key would not aDpear again as his shoulder was in a bad condition and there was danger of bursting a j^lood vessel. The refeiee thereupon de clared Hansen the winner. Some in the crowd immediately shouted "fake" and there was some commotion. Others called for the money back and made an effort to get into the room where Sharkey was, but no one was allowed to enter. Another feature of the match which causes the local snorts to have their suspicions was the fact that early in the evening several New York sports were in town with plenty of money to put on Hansen, but that Sharkey would win the first fall. Some money changed hands on these terms. The main bout started about 9.25 and was in catch-as-oatch-can style with pin falls only to count and thb strangle hold barred. When both wrestlers came into the ring the crowd could see that they were in the pink of condition, and thought it would be a long battle to the finish. Within a few seconds both got the neck hold and fell heavily to the mat. Hansen was on top, Sharkey on the defense, both trying to get a hold of the other. It lasted for some time in this way. Finally Hansen got a foot hold of the sailor, which was auickly broken. Sharkey got a half nelson on Hansen and put his shoulders to the mat. The time boing just 6 minutes 10 seconds. After retiring for abont ten minutes the wrestlers again came into the ring. Sharkey fell to the mat so as to give Hansen a show, which the Dane was not slow to grasp, and in a second he had the Irish wonder locked in a body hold but Sharkey put his dead weight on Hansen and after a great struggle, managed to break the Dane's hold. This was Sharkey's opportunity and he got a body hold and com menced to saw on Hansen's stom ach. As this didn't seem to be to the Dane's liking, he broke away from the Irishman and managed to get a leg hold and this he kept, first stand- ! ing the big Irishman on his head, 1 then slowly, but surely, turned him ' around, so that his back was near the floor. Suddenly Hansen dropped his opponent to thejmat with a crash that could be heard all over the house. He held the Irish champion in that posi tion for fully ten seconds before the referee announced the bout in favor of Hansen, the time being just 5 minutes and 10 seconds. When the 10 1 minutes rest was ud, Hansen appear ed in the ring as if to finish the Oonliivued on page 8 Lobsters! Lobsters!! Lobsters !!! Worrell's, 46 S^"r.

Tomorrow afternoon the Marions will play their third game of the season and will endeavor to continue their winning streak. The opposing team will be the Knickerbocker A.

The visitors have not been in this city since 1900 when thev defeated the Marions 4 to 3 in a fast game with Rochelle in the box for the locals. "Gns" will again do the twirlinsr to- J morrow and he hopes to pull ont a victory. Since their last appearance here the Knickerbockers hpve under- ' gone a complete change and are under different management. They J have been playing fast ball and are under the impression that they can easily take the Marions in tow. That, of course, remains to be seen and the fans are convinced from the form already displayed by the locals that thev will be in the running. The following attraction at the en closed grounds on May 23 will be the famous All Gabans who are the cham ljons of Cuba. They are natives of the island and created a great sensa tion when they first appeared here in 1900. Last seasou they again toured the country and met witli great suc cess. Thev played nearly as many gameB as the big league teams and lost remarkably small percentage of them. Thrir advent to this city meant great expense to the manage ment'of the locals, but it is thought that the fame of the visitors will prove a great attraction and bring a large crowd to the enclosed grounds. Another date closed lately is June 6 when the well known West New Yorks will be here to meet the Mar ions. The foregoing gives the rooters some idea of the good things that are in store for them in a baseball way this summer.

Pressers and Finshers at Atlan tic Factory in Tottenville Re - fuse to Work. STRIKE ON TODAY. Firm Said to Have put Italians to Work and the Men Objected? Conference Held Last Night and Matter was Discussed Some Men Opposed Strike but West out with the Union. About 30 Pressers and Finishers and Mitre Cutters employed at the Atlan tic Terra Cotta Works in Tottenville, went out on a strike today. About two months ago it was rumor ed about the works that Manager Grant was going to employ Italians in the Pressing and Finishing Depart ment. When the men heard of this they appointed a committer who wait ed upon Mr. Grant with a petition from the men that no Italians be em ployed in their department. The pressers say that Mr. Grant told them that he did not blame them for making such a request of him, and as he did not want Italians, could find no fault with the pressers and finishers for asking that they be kept out of their department, and he would do all he could to help them. Everything went along smoothly from then on until yesterday morning when the foreman brought in two Italians from the yard department, and took them over to a pressor, with the orders that he break them in. as hereafter they would be employed in that department. The pressers got together ai 1 decided to finish their work for the day which they did. At si* 0 olocFv thn fore man of the Pressing amPH^nMkM# Department and told him onleBKie Italians were discharged righjpKray they would quit in a body. ' The men then went home, and when they appeared at the works this morn ing, they w?re told that the Manager, Mr. Grant, would give them just ten minutes to decide whether or not they would go to work. The men asked if the two Italians would be discharged, and receiving the rely that thev would not they re fused to enter the shop. Many of the men who are now out have been work ing for the Atlantic Terra Cotta Works since it was established and when seen this morning bv a News reporter they were very bitter against the men who had caused all the trouble, but felt duty bound to stay with the union. The Atlantic Terra Cotta pressers and finishers and mitre cutters re ceive better pay than any other terra cotta works and have steadier work the year round, it is said. A Simple Problem. If one telephone costs $24 a year and another telephone costs half as much, what will the two cost yon a year? Yon must have both or miss some body. ? Food for Thought. MARRIED YESTERDAY.
