ARREST WOMAN FOR THEFT IN JANUARY | Detectives Bamforth and Richardson | Get Mrs. Pauline Rotka This Morning. A theft case on which Detective Ser- geant Samuel Bamforth has been working since January 3 of the pres- ent year ended today when that offi- cer, assisted by Detective Andrew J. Richardson, placed Mrs. Pauline Rot- ka under arrest on a charge of having stolen $165 belonging to August Zei- | ger. By the arrest of the woman a bit of scandal is also disclosed and her alleged paramour, Stanley Zem- ba, is also located behind the bars at headguarters on an added charge of theft. Mrs. Rotka is 27 years old and un- til January 31 lived with with her husband at 312 Elm street. August Zeiger was a boarder at the house and Stanley Zemba was a very frequent caller, generally, is is said, when the woman’s husband was out. On the last day of January the woman is alleged to have agreed to Zemba’'s proposals and they decided to elope. Mrs. Rotka took a key from a pocket in Zeiger's clothes and gained access to his trunk where she is said to have extracted $165. The two then disappeared. Today Zemba and woman told po- lice that the first night they spent in Wallingford. From there they went to Bridgeport and from the Park v they went to Boston where they stayed in a boarding house until the $165 was gone and Mrs. Rotka was taken sick. Then Zemba deserted her and came back to New Britain. The woman went to a hospital and on re- covering came back to this city where the police arrested her this morning. TO CHARGE ADMISSION.

HUMMING BURGLAR SPOILS HIS GAME Tune Wakes Woman Who Pre- vents Thelt of Safe Belleville, N. J., July 10.—Because one of two burglars ummed a tune and because Mrs. John Griffin doesn’t sleep well after the break of dawn, he and his partner were foiled in their attempt early yesterday morning to take away the safe of the American Food company’s stare, Washington and Overlook avenues, in a stolen au- tomobile. Two of the company’s stores, one in Newark and the other in East Orange, have been robbed within the last two months in the same way as the rob- Tbery was attempted in the Belleville store. It was after 4 o'clock vyesterday morning when Mrs. Griffin, who lives above the store, heard someone hum- ming a tune. She looked out of her window and saw two men jimmying open the rear doar of the store. Too frightened to raise an outery, she waited a quarter of an hour and saw the men roll through the opened front door the stare’s safe, weighing more than 800 pounds. The men rolled it into an alley and tried to break it open with hammers. They failed, and rolling it to the waiting autamobile, tried to lift it in. It was too heavy. Along came two men em- ployed as trolley motormen. The men with the safe asked for a lift, and the four men tried in'vain to put the safe in the car. “Much aobliged,” said the two in charge of the safe. ‘I guess we can’t Go it.” According to Mrs, Griffin, they drove away and soon after reappeared with two stout planks which they placed from the pavement across the rear of the car and started to roll the safe into the automobile. She asked them what they were doing. “We are coming from work,” was the Teply. Mrs, Griffin said that when she tald the men that if they didn't go away she would call help, they got into the car and rode off. she saw the number of the car with the exception of the last figure. What she saw, she sald, was 2,270. police say the number was undoubted- T y 22,700, the number of a car belong- | Halsted | street, Bast Orange, which was stolon | ing to A. M.

The company refused at the time to tell how much moned had been in the safe.
