SING LEE'S LAUNDRY EN
AND ROBBED BY TV
One With Revolver Holds Chinamen
at Bay While Other Binds Them at
2 O'clock This Morning.
RANSACK PLAGE AND TAKE $70
Two negroes early this morning
entered the laundry of Sing Lee, at
346 State street, and while one
cowed the two Chinese occupants at
the point of a revolver, the other
bound and gagged them. Then the
thieves leisurely proceeded to ran
sack the belongings of the Chinamen,
securing $50 in gold coins, $20 in
paper money, a gold watch valued at
$25, and a revolver worth $14. After
securing everything of value in the
place they leisurely made their exit,
leaving the store almost two hours
after their entrance
Entrance was gained at 2
o'clock through a rear window,
which ofTered as resistance a
wire screen. The marauders
climbed over the fences in the
rear of the store, cut the wire screen
and entered the rear room, used by
the Mongolians for washing clothes.
Not until the robbers reached the
front, apartment, used during the
day as the laundry proper and at
night as a sleeping apartment, did
the Chinamen realize that there
were others in the room. Before
they could make an outcry, however,
they were confronted by a revolver
and warned that any soun'd would
bring instant death. Too frightened
to call for help, the Mongolians al
lowed themselves to be gagged and
tied to their beds.
Then the thieves scoured the
place. A small ante-room, used by
the foreigners for the storage of
their trunks and clothing, was made
the first scene of the robbers' actions.
From a table they picked up the
watch and revolver. Examination of
the trunks' contents revealed a bag
containing gold coins aggregating
$50 and another parcel containing
$20 in bills. Both were pocketed by
the robbers.
With the Chinamen at their mercy
the thieves began a search of the
other rooms. A cigar box containing
$2 in pennies they opened but the
contents they did not touch, and
several articles of smaller value they
handled but deemed unworthy of be
ing carried away. Shortly before 4
A. M. they left by way of the rear
window.
Too frightened to move or stir out
of the store until daylight, the yel
low-skinned victims did not inform
the police until two hours later. The
only description they could furnish
Roundsman Morris, behind the desk
at police headquarters, was that the
marauders were colored. They said
one was a big "high" man, wbileHhe
other was somewhat shorter.
On this description Detective Ser
geant Long 1b working today. This
morning he looked over the scene of
the robbery and made a number of
Inquiries. He has under suspicion
two local negroes, but before making
any arrests will attempt to ascertain
where the two men in question were
at the time the robbery was commit
ted.
That the robbery was a contem
plated act is assured by the fact that
two men, probably the above-men
tioned thieves, were seen earlier In
the night prowling about in the rear
of Jlmm Lee's laundry, at 286 State
street. At that time no particular
notice was taken of the men, except
the fact that they were both colored.

MAN EXPIRES
IN OFFICE OF
DR. COTTRELL
The body of a young man whose
name 1b supposed to have been
William Herbert, Jr., and his address
Poughkeepsle, Ν. Y., is at the
morgue of Coroner Garretson, In
High street, pending the arrival of
word from friends. He expired this
morning at 6 o'clock while being
treated for an attack of heart disease
by Dr. Cottrell.
Herbert approached Patrolman
Quinn about 4:30 o'clock this morn
ing and complained of feeling 111.
He said he had slept in a box car the
greater part of the night, having
come from Lansdowne yesterday.
The patrolman accompanied the sick
man to police headquarters in hopes
that he would revive,· but when his
condition became worse Quinn took
him to the office of City Physician
M. S. Meinzer. The doctor could
not be found, however, and Herbert
was taken to the office of Dr. Cot
trell.
While stimulants were being ap
plied Herbert expired. The body
was removed to the morgue, where
a search of the clothes revealed
nothing but a package of cigarette
papers and a card of Bricklayers and
Masons I. U. of America, No. 44,
Poughkeepsle. The card was signed
by George W. Palmer, secretary of
the union.
Coroner Garretson has communi
cated with the lodge and expects to
receive an answer this afternoon. To
ascertain further particulars of
Herbert's death, the coroner and
County Physician Carroll will con
duct an investigation.

ed the regulars almost two^o one.

and it is likely that Mr. Armstrong
will be renamed.

QUESTION HIS
RIGHT TO ACT
AS A JUSTICE
Recorder and Justice of the Peace
Harold E. Plckersglll this morning
received from Rouert W. Helm, of
the county clerk'e office, notifica
tion that his right to the title of Jus
tice Is questioned inasmuch as the
record of his election has not been
filed with Secretary of State Col. S.
D. Dtcklneon.
The letter was as follows:
"New Brunswick, May 9, 1910.
"Harold E. Plckersglll, Esq.,
"Perth Amboy, N. J.
"Dear Sir:—
"The Secretary of State informs
me that he has no record of your
election as a Justice of the peace,.,
owing to the fact that no returns
were made by the Election officers
from eald ward, with his department.
"You had better take the matter
up with the Secretary of State, and
see what can be done In regard to It.
"Yours truly,
"R. W. HELM."
William P. Bradley, who wag also
elected last fall as a Justice of the
peace, will also be affected, as no
tice of hie election was sent to the
secretary of state at the same time
City Clerk LaRoe sent, those of Re
corder Plckersglll. The city clerk
says the returns were mailed to
Trenton, but must have become lost
In some manner. Notices of both
elections were mailed together.
By being deprived ofc his Justice
ship, Recorder Pickersgill will no
longer have the authority to Issue
warrants for persons outside the
city limits.
The notice was sent by the secre
tary of state following the receipt
of Recorder PlckersglU's bond, last
week. The recorder qualified for
the office last week before Judge
Lyon, and notice was Immediately
eent to Colonel Dickinson's office at
Trenton.
There Is a possibility that the mat
ter may be settled, as suggested In
the letter. It Is the Intention of the
recorder to communicate with Col.
Dickinson immediately.

JUDGE LYON TELLS
WET DOCK HISTORY
Others Present Views Pro and Gon
on Matter at Public Hearing Before
City Council Last Night.
ALDERMEN MAY NOT SELL IT
A public hearing; on the "wet
dock" property last night in the
council chamber did much to ease
the minds of a number of alarmed
residents who believed )he city fath
ers were going to dispose of what
ever Interest the city might have in
this valuable tract. The bearing did
much to set at rest the minds of
labor leaders and others interested
in city affairs, for at its conclusion
Alderman-at-Large Voorhees said It
had not been the city's intention to
dispose of the property, so far as be
knew, and that due opportunity will
be offered for another hearing when
the chancellor's decree Js given.
The hearing followed an adjourn
ed meeting of the Board of Alder
men. Alderman-at-Large Voorhees
gave the purpose of the hearing, af
ter which he Informed the gathering
that Judge Adrian Lyon would
speak. Judge Lyon came prepared
with maps, documents and papers of
various sorte to prove hie conten
tions. He thanked the aldermen for
the opportunity given him to spenk
upon the subject, after which he ex
plained as to exactly what capacity
he was there to speak.
The council chamber was filled
with eager listeners and several who
had come to take a hand in defend
ing, as some of thera later stated,
"the city's interests." Mr. Lyon held
> his audience for about an hour. He
explained that he is receiver of the
PeTth Amboy Shipbuilding & Engi
neering Company, having been ap
pointed in the place of Willard P.
Voorhees last August. He told how
he was instructed to close the affairs
of the company and act according to
his own counsel. "I represent the
creditors of this company as receiver
and have no other interest in the
matter," he stated.
The judge explained how the for
. mer Middlesex County Dank, a de
funct Institution, holds a mortgage
of between 980,000 and $86,000 on
. the property and how seven or eight,
hundred creditors of both the bank
and shipbuilding coucfiuw-jpostly
local citizens, would be benefit
the matter was cleared up and the
: city lifted the cloud off the title. The
money (hat would be received would
• be sufficient to pay all the creditors
J of both companies and thus about
$150,000, he said, would be spread
among the creditors, and at the
• same time permit a good healthy
concern to locate here and employ
® hundreds of men. He told of α coin
3 pany willing to make the purchase
1 and construct a plant doing a good
" business there. Displaying an old
parchment map that shows the Cove
or "wet dock," as the property was
then called, Judge Lyon proceeded
to tell how vastly uncertain Is the
. city's title to the property in ques
tion, and of the Improbability of the
city having any title to the property
at all.
About 140 years ago the Hoard of
Proprietors thought they had title
to the Cove or Wet Dock, although
It haH been claimed the board never
had title, and consequently could
not make the conveyance they did,
according to Mr. Lyon. Just, how
the property was situated at the
time of the conveyance is known by
few, if any. In response to queries
Judge Lyon said the portion the city
is interested in was all water with
no banks surrounding It except what
were on the adjoining land. If the
I cove was below high water mark,
then the city has no interest at pres
ent. The property was, at the time
I of its conveyance, described as a
cove, presumed to have been a place
where vessels could come in below
the high water mark. Judge Lyon
proceeded to tell how lnsigniflrant
the property must have been when
the city officials, at that time, prac
tically gave it away to a company
for the sake of having it filled in.
He quoted from Cortlandt Parker,
one of the country's ablest lawyers,
who gave it as his opinion that being
I as tho land was below high water
' mark the city has no interest. Re
I garding what Is presently being done
> in the matter, the judge said that
ι Special Master Thompson, after h
preliminary examination, said: "J
; think the city's interest In that prop
erty is almost nothing."
ι On April 11, 1770, the Board of
Proprietors passed a resolution or
' derlng the city to open Its streets at
ι this property. Them there was no
' action taken regarding the property
' until May 21, 1802, when the board
issued a warrant directing the sur
veyor general to make preparations
tot conveying the property and a
portion of Market street to the city
In trust for the use of the inhabi
tants of the city forever, providing
they should not alienate the same.
Then the matter rested for twenty
one years. In 1823 a survey was
made and a map produced. There
for, as fifty-three years elapsed from
the time the property was first taken
notice of until some action was tak
en to do something with it, the judge
endeavored to show its unimport
ance and worthlessness.
The property was convejed to
Andrew Bell, James Parker and John
Ratoon, and, in trust, for use on
condition that streets were opened.
In 1831 a ninety-nine-year lease was
given to the Perth Ainboy Manufac
turing Company. The effect of that
document was to lease with covenant
and for perpetually renewing it. The
terms being that the Perth Amboy
Manufacturing Company 1111 up the
land with two feet of good dirt. The
lease carried with it the proviso that
the city could retain the property at
the end of any of the nlnety-nine
year terms by paying for all improve
ments made on the land to date, the
vaine of euch Improvements to be de
termined by a sort of arbitration
board composed of three persons.
In 1834 the city gave another doc
ument reciting the nlnety-ntne-year
lease, covenant of renewal, etc., and
releaned the Perth Amboy Manufac
turing Company from the right, of
the city to take the property at any
of the nlnety-ntne-year terms. The
land after this year exchanged hands
several times and Anally came down
to Hugh Ramsay and the Perth Am
boy Shipbuilding Company, which
failed, and of which Mr. Lyon is the
present receiver.
Mr. Lyon stated that the phrase
In the lease, "for use of the inhabi
tants as they see fit," made the grant
very uncertain and thus tends to
lessen whatever Interest, If any, the
city might have. He claimed the
trustees had a right to do as they
did and doubted the Board of Pro
prietors had the right to take back
the property, owing to their statute
of limitation.
Kinil Frey, secretary of the Feder
ation of Labor, the union organiza
tion that is vigorously opposing the
sale of the property, next spoke. He
asked a few questions about the size
of the land, etc. He expressed hie
doubts that the Improvements to the
! property would reach a figure named
by Judge I-yon, as lie understood the
city Itself had assisted In filling In
the land. He held that If the prop
erty could be secured in a legal way
at the expiration of the present
lease, which will be about twenty
years hence, It should do so.
Alderman Seaman then arose and
stated that he came to listen relative
to this old question. "I can't see my
way clear In this matter. If we have
got nny upland with this wet dock
the city may have a claim, but other
wise I can't see that we have."
Adam Eckert, an old resident of the
city, spoke and defended the labor
people. His contention was that the
city has an interest there and should
fight, for it. James 6 Wight was on
hand and asked whafobject the city
ffewi'ili fjWBfr'ifcg cloud over the
present title, what ' "ItT
ι would derive If It belpea Thi
' cloud, as Mr. L,yon had previously
called it? To this the Judge replied
the receiver is in a position to give
some consideration and then the city
would receive forty or forty-five
thousand dollars for taxes, etc. Mr.
Eckert arose several times during
the meeting and vigorously defend
ed whatever interest the city might
have. He referred to past hearings
in the matter, when the city had to
engage outside counsel to look after
its interests and when the matter
was thrown out of the circuit court
and advices given that it be taken to
the court of equity or chancery.
A. J. Rossi asked if the court of
chancery was going to decide as to
the title of the land or whether it la
Just to give an order to sell It. He
was Informed that If an order waa
given the city to sell the city had
an interest in the property in ques
tion. At this point Alderman Galvln
said: "I don't think the resolution
we passed was intended to sell the
land."
Martin Momberg expressed his
doubts as to the city having any In
terest at ail In the land, .lame*
Growney said that he would sell all
interest he had in the property for
$1.
Aldernian-at-Large Voorhees call
ed for other speakers and near the
end of the meeting asked Samuel Q.
Garretson to say something. Inas
much as he always loved to spout.
He told of having seen the worthless
property laying there for years. He
doubted that II had been very valua
ble to those who have occupied It.
He held that the city should dis
pose of the property and use the
money for developing property In
another section of the city, some
thing like the old water works prop
erty for- Instance.
The meeting closed with a few
remarks by Mr. Voorhees, in which
he stated the city's interests would
certainly be looked after and if it
was of advantage to keep the prop
erty, the city would do so.
