MORE STOLEN GOODS WERE
. HIDDEN U N DER TRAP DOOR
Police Make Second Visit to Front Street House and Recover More Sil
verware?Door Was in the Floor and was Hidden by a Rug? Police
Called to Metuchen to Look at Prisoner There, but he was not
Identified.
Chief Burke and Detective Huff rfe
oovered more silverware in the house
of Mary Bowe yesterday afternoon
which, as told in yesterday's News,
was raided by these offioers and $2,000
worth of stolen Roods recovered. The
amount reooverod this time was much
smaller than the first haul, but it was
found in the same house.
The officers were not satisfied that
they had recovered all nor are they
yet satisfied with the results of their
efforts. Immediately after the Mr
haul was safely lodged at police head
quarters the Chief and Detective Huff
started one again. They went to the
old house in Front street. In
looking about, the things still left in
the house and which were in oharge
of the landlord, were turned over in
the slight hope of obtaining more
clues when suddenly, in the raising of
an old rug, a trap door was discover
ed. The Chief lifted it jnst to see if
anything was beneath, and more sil
verware, probably $100 worth, was
found. -
The goods were carried to the polioe
station where a telephone message
awaited them requesting their
immediate presence in Metuchen.
A man giving the name of Harry
Jones, of North Adams, Mass.. had
been picked up for trying to sell a set
of surgioal instruments. The first
thought of the Metuchen police was
that he was connected in some way
with the locol 'case, but 'our offioers
failed to identify him although the
chief said he was satisfied the man
was a orook. The Justice of the
Peace, before whom the man was
arraigned, evidently believed he was
a crook for he committed him to the
county jail for thirtv days pending an
investigation.
A telegraph despatch from District
Attorney Jerome, of New York, call
ed Detective Huff to New York this
morning to testify before the grand
jury there against Walter Rein alias
Ernest Scott, and his brother, who
gave his name as Edward Scott. They
are the ones whom the local polioe
arrested aboard the stolen yaoht
' ' Pinoohle, ' ' last week. A story print
ed in a New York paper telling of
their arrest attraoted the attention of
a victim of river pirates in Connecti
cut as told in yesterday's News,
which resulted in the raid.

BE STARTED

Plant Are Nearly Ready For
Their Erection.
five storTstructure
The contract for the erection of the
buildings for the Cheeseborough Vase
line Manufacturing Company, on the
land along the Raritan river above
the Raritan Copper works plant, will
be given ont very shortly. At tiie
present time over a dozen teams under
the management of John O'Leary, of
Passaio, are at work grading the land.
The company is trying to form a
strong embankment so that when the
tide gets too high it will not interfere
with the working of the plant.
That the concern will be a large
one can easily be seen. When the
superintendent in charae of all work
was seen bv a News reporter, lie said:
" When the contracts are given out
there will be eight buildings erected.
The larger building will be what we
call the eirl's room, a place where a
number of srirls are employed to do
the packing up pi vaseline bottles and
jars. This building will be 100 x 800 '
feet. The felter building, where the 1
vaseline is made, will be 80 x 100 feet
and will be constructed of steel. It
will be five stories high.
An office, a machine shop and other
necessary buildings will also be built.
The company hope to have everything
ready for operation by the first of the
year.
Girls and men will be employed,
but no boys as the company does not
care for their servioes. Thev will
also bring nearly all their skilled
mechanics to this city_from Brooklyn
where the plant now is.

Held Informal Meeting Last
Night to Talk Over Totten
ville Situation.
STRIKE NOT POPULAR.
A" Old Employe Says Men are Sorry they
Quit? Are now out and will Make the
Most of It? No Rush of Orders at the
Factory According to Reports? Strikes
the Cause.
The members of Pressors and Finish
ers Union Local Mo. 77 held a special
meeting last night in Union Hall,
Smith street. The meeting was call
ed so that every member who cared
to, might tell what he thooght of the
present trouble between the pressors
and the manager of the Atlantic Terra
Ootta works at Tottenville.
Nearly every member present had
something to say informally, after
which the meeting adjourned. When
a union oresser, who has been -em
ployed by that concern ever since it
started, was seen this morning, he
said :
"At the meeting last night it could
easilv be seen that most of the men
are sorrv they ever went out on strike
for now they find that if they had
appointed a committee to see Mr.
Grant in the first place all the trouble
would have been avoided, but now
that it is on we have to make the beat
of it."
It is said that tne Atlantic Terra
Cotta people can stand the strike for
the present time, not being rushed on
account of the big strikes among the
mechanics and laborers on the build
ings in New York. Thev have several
small jobs on the New York subway,
but these cas also wait a while long
er, and in the meantime the company
will be enabled to break in a number
of new pressors.

TO PERFECT UNION.
Contractors of Every Trade in the State
Will be Invited to Join Organization
in Order That Strikes May be Fought
More Successfully? May Be National
Affair.
A number of the local contractors
left this city on the 1.19 Central train
for Newark where they will attend
the first meeting of the contracting
bosses from all over the State of New
Jersey. The meeting is called so that
the bosses in New Jersey can talk
over the advisability of forming a
State organization of the different
bnilding aud contracting firms. Aftet
the State organization has been form
ed it may be merged into an Interna
tional organization.
If the contractors arp successful to
day and the organization is formed,
then they will be able to handle
strikes more successfully. If a strike
should break ont in one citv and the
mechanics should leave that citv for
other fields of labor the bosses all
over the country would be notified
that the men employed by the certain
contractor were out on a strike and
not to employ them. This would, it
is claimed, eventually force the men
baok to the city where they first
struck and tiie bosses would then be
able to talk to their employes.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS.
Boynton Beach will open for the

The attractiveness of this resort is
well known to all in this vicinitv.
The Boynton Beach as it has been
known, however, is not to be com
pared with the resort as it will be run
this snmmer.
Among other things the dance hall
has been enlarged and the number of
pieces in the orchestra increased. The
pool room has been improved, new
boats are ready, a new striking ma
chine is in plaoe, there are new tar
gets and an up-to-date shooting
gallery.
The beach is known to be one of
the best in this section of New Jersey
and from its present appearance the
bathing will be even better than ever
before. The bath houses have been
overhauled and every building on the
ground has been painted so that the
resort is one of the oleanest in the
country morally as well as in the
grounds and general appearances.
Already excursions have been book
ed and it is expected the place will
have the best season of its existence.

FROM STATE OFFICIAL.
State Superintendent Declares Mr.
Walker Would Still be President
Although Re-elected
Mayor Seaman has received a reply
to his last inquiry sent to the State
Superintendent of Schools in connec
tion with the Baard of Edncation
incident.
The reply is much the same as the
previous letter, whioh declared that
Mr. Walker was president of the local
board, in spite of the fact that his
term had run out.
This is the point which Mr. Seaman
called to the attention of the State
Superintendent and which he claimed
was, after all, the real point on which
the decision should finally be given.
