STILL In FULL BLAST.

The Harrison Pool Rooms Openly Defy
the Law--Everyone Knows Them.
The pool selling establishments were in
full blast yesterday at Harrison. The
crowds were not 50 large as on Saturday,
still there were enough present to keep
the young men behind the little
enclosures with the green cur
tains busy selling tickets. AS
on Saturday the greatest crowd was
at the old Foundry, still there was large
enough throng in the room over the boat
house, considering the crude arrange
ments for ventilation which the place pos
sesses.
Not the slightest attempt was made to
conceal the nature of the business tran
sacted at all three of the rooms Access
was free to any one who cared to climb
the stairs, and no attempt was made TO
conceal the noises. If any one
should be so obtuse as not to
understand the meaning of the crowd
which kept restlessly moving be-
tween the three dens, he would still have
no difficulty in finding pool rooms. Every
citizen in the vicinity knows what is
going on. and can direct you TO these
gambling hells.
| came to Harrison by horse car from
Newark, and on my way over asked the
conductor ii he could tell me where the
pool rooms were in Harrison. He replied
that he could, and when we crossed over
the Passaic into Hudson county he
stopped the car and gave me minute di-
rections for finding the places.

The commissioners of the joint Jersey
City and West Hoboken sewer fled their
maps and reports yesterday with the
Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners. 1t was expected that resolu-
tion to advertise the route of the sewer
and the lots embraced in the drainage
area, as required by the act, would have
been adopted, but the Board took no
action.
1t is rumored that majority of the
Board contemplates the removal of John
f. Arthur, commissioner on the part of
Jersey City, and to appoint another in his
stead for political reasons. Such action
may vitiate the entire proceedings, aud
prevent the great improvement.
The commissioners are each allowed
$500 by the act for theiI services, and Mr.
Arthur claims that ne has earned the
entire amount. 1t is question whether,
if another commissioner is appointed, he
can legally receive any compensation for
his services.
The West Hobokeu people are not very
enthusiastic over the enterprise, and in
the event of changes In the commission
being made ther authorities may refuse
to ratify the plan and abandon the pro-
iect

The following interesting letter speaks
for itself
NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 1890.
Edlrin Dickson, Secretary No. 94:
DEAR SIR-It has come TO our knowl-
edge thai the proprietors of certain
paper in your city have made the state
ment in their paper that members of
Typographical Union No. 6 have informed
them that our sister organization. Hudson
County Typographical Union No. 81 81, is
not genuine branch of the International
Typographical Union. Permit US to say
knows to be untrue or it has been inn
posed upon by some rascally enemies of
your organization. It is impossible to be-
ieve that any member of our union could
be so base as to allow himself to be infiu-
enced to make a statement that every
member of No. knows to be false.
In this connection we would like to
assure you of our hearty sympathy and
cooperation in your efforts to convince
the authorities of Jersey City that the
people are always in favor of paying the
highest prevailing prices for all work re-
quired by the different departments of
the city government. Any official who,
in awarding contracts for public work,
favors the contractor who takes advan-
tage of poor men and girls whose necessi-
ties compel them to work for what they
can get, in our opinion, will certainly
sooner or later have the truth forced
upon him that he is not faithful public
servant. Fraternally,
w. z. BosELLY, President.

THOSE HARRISON POOLS.
Are Negligent Grand Juries 10

This morning | asked Judge Knapp
what he thought about the Harrison pool
selling and book-making rooms as ex-
posed Ill THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS.
He said: "lf the editor of the paper will
send me the name of the reporter who
made the expose, will present the facts
to the Gran Jury and his name as wit
ness. The newspaper article is anony

tions from persons from all parts of the
county complaining of abuses OF the law,
but the communications are always
anonymous and of course can not act
on them for do not know whom to send
for. will not act on any anonymous
letter, but If ciizen will send his name
will do my best to have the Grand Jury
investigate violations of the law"
Gould not you instruct the District
Attorney to have his detectives inveSti-
gate these reported wrongs?"
mo, have no right TO do So"
Judge Lippincott said the court he pre-
sided over was not permitted TO hunt up
evidence, and it had no power to do so.
IF" said the Judge. ''the Prosecutor
asks for warrants the court will OF course
grant them the same as Justice of the
Peace would, but we could not recon-
mend arrests and then sit in Judgment at
the trial; it would not be considered i'm
partial.
MR. WINFIELD WAS UNAWARE.
Prosecutor Winfield told me he was
unaware that the Harrison pool rooms
were in full blast again, and referred me
to Detective Feeney.
misi fsiisESEg iissEEsS'Eg SPEAKS.
| therefore found Mr. Feeney, who
said: ION two or three occasions we
have referred this matter to the Grand
Juries who have failed to make any in
dictments. Several months ago, how
ever, we made a raid and seized some
paraphernalia. The gamblers were then
Indicted and fined. AT the same time we
gave notice to the Chief of Police that he
would be indicted if he did not prevent
pool sellers from operating in the town
of Harrison" !"
Mr.. Feeney said that he was unaware
until he read in Sunday mornings NEWS
thai they were in full blast again.
1 again saw Mr.. Winfield and told him
what MIR. Feeney had said, and he said:
II know nothing about it, the matter is
in the hands of Detective Feeney."

BOYLE RISES TO EXPLAIN
The Board of Finance Bill

THE LATEST FROM TRENTON

holders Asylum Bill Will
Probably Die Of Asphyxia.
THE LATEST FROM TRENTON
specia, to the Jersey city Ne'cs.


TRENTON Feb. 3, 1890. MIR. Byrne . bill
relating to patent pavement and that OF
Mr.. Boyle taking away the concurring
power Of Boards of Finance are probably
buried deep in committee. 1t is said that
the opposition which these two bills have
aroused. and the transparent scheme
which turks beneath their surface, have
had their effect upon the committee.
Mr.. Boyle appears to have had some in-
timation of this, for during the session
this evening he arose to a question of
privilege and stated that he introduced
the bill by request and that upon reading
il over he finds that it goes TOO far. 1t
was not the intention of the gentlemen
introducing it, he said, to have it take the
power of concurrence from the Board OF
Finance Of Jersey City entirely, but its
object was that when the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners awarded
contract for the improvement OF u street
or the construction of a sewer, and the
contractor gives bond with sufficient
sureties, itsswould not be necessary to
send that contract to the Board OF FL
nance for their concurrence.
Mr. Boyle said that he would prepare
an amendment to the bill to meet these
views
AS the Board of Street and Water Com
missioners is the Board which probably
needs the check of the Board of Finance
more than any other, those who opposed
the bill in it's original shape do not look
upon Mr.. Boyle's explanation with any
degree of favor.
The bill for the new lunatic asylum is
aisc Liz ely to be smothered in committee
il it retains it's present shape. The oppo-
sition TO it seems 10 be too great
to be ignored. This is directed
not so much against the building Of the
asylum as it is against allowing the Board
of Freeholders to spend the money in
view of the scandal which is connected
with the new Hall of Records. True, it is
well understood, that the present Board
is q new one; but it is equally well known
that the chief jokers Of the old Board
figure in the new. and there is decided
opposition to entrusting the disbursement
Of so large sum of money in their hands.
There is possibility that the bill will be
amended so as to provide for a commits
sion to which shall be entrusted the con-
struction of the asylum.

Not Enough Kick Over the Ballot k5oxeS
to Please the Senate Committee.
Special to The Jersey City Netcs.
TRENTON, Feb. 8, 1S90.-After all their
bombast and bluster, accompanied by .
formidable array of special counsel, sar-
geants-at-arms and assistant marshalss
the Senate Committee will not count the
Hudson ballot boxes tomorrow after they
arrive here. The investigation into the
heinous frauds and monumental corrup-
tion which arch kicker Stuhr says de-
feated him by over 5000 majority, will
not be commenced tomorrow afternoon,
but will be POSTPONED again until next
week. The reason given for this is bnaI
Senator Aarain wishes to be away thlS
week and the committee in Difference 20
his wishes have concluded to let the prob
ing into this lDiquity go over until then
There are number of old heads around
the capitol who are prophesying that this
investigation Will be like Fourth OF
July celebration-all noise and smoke
which will quickly blow over.
1t is even intimated that the action OK
the Jersey City authorities in refusing to
give up the ballot boxes was foreseen,
and that is the reason the assistant SER
geant-at-armS made the demand Tor Jnem
without any subpoena, as he did. II was
expected that great capital would pc
made out of the refusal to deliver up the
boxes, and that the action of City Clerk
Scott would be made to appear to be
actuated by the fear that the ballot boxes
would prove all Stuhr's charges The
perfect Willingness of the city authors
ties to have the boxes examined under
proper safeguards has somewhat discon-
certed the scheme, and hence the apathy
Of the committee.
1t is also stated that the Democratic
leaders have obtained opinions from some
of the best legal talent in the State TO
the effect that the Senate has no author
ity to open the boxes, and that their seals
cannot be broken and their contents ex-
cent by some one duly authorized by the
Supreme Court. The Democratic Sena..
tors are said to be determined TO stand
on these opinions, and if the Republicans
insist upon going on with the inyestiga-
tion there win be new complications.
