MAYORS OFFICE.

At the License Bureau yesterday was indeed
busy day. Marshal To0ker and his assistants were
busily engaged In answering questions, adiudicarne
upon cases and issuing licenses. Among the many
interesting cases was one showing
A JERsEYMAN's INTERPRETATION OF NEW YORK
LAWS.
Felix StYube was driving public cart without
name or number on it, and was, Of course, arrested
and brought before the Marshal. The cart, 1t up.
pears belonged to Mayor O'Neir, Of Jersey City.
Mr.. O'Neill told the Marshal that he did no bust
ness with his cars except his private business
but that he sent loads OF various kinds TO and
through this city several times day:
been injured by licensed New York cartman or
truckman what ne would do to obtain redress. Mr..
Ns stated mat ne wo9d o. % come 70 S n
he thought 10 just right that the Mayor or hts
representative should protect people who did not
comply with the ordinances regulating their busi-
ness in this city, to the detrment OF those who paid
license fees ana were held amenable to the laws and
by Mr.. O'Neirs wagon, under existing circnm-
stances the injured party would have no place to
apply for redress as ne would not know whom to
ONeil that his carts trucks used the streets Of
New York and. while doing 80 claimed II necessary
ply with the laws and ordinances. That would be
unjust to compel taxpayers IN this city to pay
streets subject to no regulations
The law allowed the Marshal to impose fine Of
ten dollars. but in this instance he charged only nvo
dollars. Mr.. O'Neill paid the fine, but assured the
Marshal that he did under protest. He seemed TO
be arguing the ground that ne was not obliged TO
have his vehicles licensed and did not understand
the Marshal although the latter assured him 1t was
necessary only to have the name and number OF his
place OF business his trucks. Mr.. ONeil could not
interpret the law IN that way, and the Marshal told
him he interpreted the law and in his bureau so
enforced It. and that the trucks and carts must DO
properly named and numbered.
BOGUS INTELLIGENCE OFFICES
have again come to light. The establishment Of H:
Clay Kallmeyer, 1S9 Grand street. was complained
OF for about the nine hundred and ninth time more
rious amounts by the aforesaid Kameyer This indi-
vdual gives ont cards with the name e. Clay Co. on
them, and people by advertisements were induced
to invest money with the hope Of obtaining positions
OF course the situations were not obtained and at
last the Marshal becoming tired sent for Kalmeyer
to answer in person the charges against his once.
The gent in question appeared yesterday. He is tall
and well built, rather pleasant looking, and s OF
more than ordinary intelligence. At the time that
he presented himself the ONCE was crowded, and
the Marshal took occasion to give him pretty
severe lecture. His style Of business the Marshal
said, was the meanest for q smart intelligent man
to engage In. Many OF these people who applied to
him for situations had, no doubt, given their last
dollar TO get positions. The Marshal told Mr.. Kali
meyer that he had determined. far possible, to
put stop to the business; that he would revoke his
license as well as those of other establishments
which he judged to be similar and would urge
upon the police magistrates to entertain complaints
against them for swndling. Mr.. Kalmeyer de-
parted apparently much crestfallen.
