JUST HALF WAY GOOD
Hoboken Police Collect Evi-
dence Of Sunday Theat-
Tica1 Performances.
FOR IHE GRAND JURY WASTE BlgEI.
Several Concert Gardens Close Of
Their Own Accord and the
Grocery Clerks Cuss.

The agitation started by the cIerrymen
Of Hoboken against Sunday theatricalswas
efiectual in closing three concert gardens
in that city yesterday. The propriefors OF
these places were not notified by the po-
lice to close. but as one Of them said to
me. "We just closed until this storm
would blow over" One Of these concert
gardens, which was closed In the after
noon. was open at night, and did fhrfv-
ing business. Jacobs and Cronheim's
Theatres gave afternoon and evening per-
formanees and large crowds attended
1t was thought by some that If the con-
cert gardens opened the police would raid
them, but such was not to be the pro-
gramme. All that the police would do
was to visit the places, see IL they were
open, and then 20 before the Grand Jury.
As early as two o'clock yesterday sfter-
noon throngs Of people wended their way
to the different concert gardens. As a
rule the crowd was an order
y one, although some Of the
respectable to judge from Appearances.
Some OF the crowd journeyed along
Washington street TO Gantzberg's. This
is a favorite resort for young German
grocery clerks, and the performances Is
given entirely By German variety per
formers
As the crowd arrived at the door they
were met by light haired young man
VINO told every one in a whisper that
there would be no concert today, but In
reassuring tone he added that everything
would be all right in few Sundays
The greater number Of the crowd then
Journeyed 70 River street. On the street
is Pleu's Atlantic Garden. This place
was also closed and the crowd was mad.
A great many went into saloons and
drank book beer and played cards Others
went to Cronheim's and saw an excellent
variety bill
The Knickerbocker Garden on Hudson
street, which is quite sporting retreat,
was also closed tight as drum At night
one Of the gardens opened Ihe proprietor
OF the Atlantic Garden, corner Of Third
and River streets, braved the wrath Of
the police and performance was given
uumolested.
Shortly after the curtain rose on
Beacon Lights" at Jacobs Theatre last
night three men passed the doorkeeper
and displayed their shields The men
were Chief Donovan, Captain Hayes
and Detective Gallagher. They
sized up the audience and
went away. Detective Gallagher
remarked before he left the theatre that
the audience was an eminently respect
able one. Policemen also went to Cron-
helms and saw part of the performance
there.
Now the evidence has been secured,
and Chief Donovan viii no doubt present
IL to the Grand Jury, where 1t is likely
the matter viii rest

in groups and talked excitedly, and there
was general hubbnb all around City
Clerk Martin V. McDermott was a much
sought after individual

was the rumor that John II. Tangeman

and he found that the following
independent candidates petitions were
defecuve:-For Mayor, Patrick Londri-
