WHY SQUABBLE ABOUT IT?

No 40 boken Policeman Forced to Com
pete For Church Fair Uniform
A fair is to be held by st. Joseph's r. C..
Church, Monroe street, Hoboken for two
weeks beginning on September 80, and q
number of donations have been made by
persons interested, and by business firms,
of articles to be sold at the fair
"A. Levy & Sons, of No AZ Houston
street, New York. who make
the uniforms for the Hoboken
police and dremen, gave the church $40
police uniform, TO be disposed of by vote.
Out of this donation has come much un-
pleasant talk aud criticism, which bids
fair to result in lively squabble.
The fair managers and Father Francis
decided to allow the policemen to each
ask his friends for contributions towards
buying the uniforms, the man turning in
the most money to get the prize.
Captain Hayes provided the men with
books in which to record the contribu,
tions. The scheme was at once criticized
by business men and others when ap.
preached for donation, and finally some
of the policemen. who ara mostly Cathol-
les. rebelled against asking for contribu-
tfons.
Captain Hayes denied to JERSEY CITY
NEWS reporter that there was any COM
puls.on as to the men taking out the sub.
scrfption books. He said the men could
do as they liked about it,
Mayor Stanton was asked about the
affair and said it was optional with the
men to compete" for the uniform or not.
He said he had donated watch which
would be competed for by the boys on the
same plan. and mentioned several ether
donations that would be disposed OF in
the same way.

A Queer Story of Man Who Had Been
Enjoying Himself.
William Desmond, a bartender who
lives at No, 472 Henderson street,
was arraigned before Police Justice
O'Dennell this morning on a charge of
grand larceny, but was DISCHARGED. The
complainant was Daniel Mahoney, a
rather tough-looking specimen of hu-
manity who halls from East Cambridge,
Mass.
Mahoney said he came on to this CITY in
the early part of the month. He was
drinking and he gave Desmond $50
to keep for him. Afterwards he
asked Desmond to send $50 of the amount
home for him, which he claims Desmond
did. Then he got $50 from Desmond
and spent it. Subsequently he got
$2S frem Desmond, but he says Desmond
gave him drink of milk that put him
asleep and when he awoke he found Des-
mond's hands in his pockets and missed
$25.
He also accused Desmond of beating
him when he accused him of robbery. His
story was so incoherent and he
contradicted himself SO many
him he was either laboring under
a remarkable flight of imagination or
else had heen on a big drunk and didn't
know how much of his money he had re-
ceived pack from Desmond.
