MOUNT THE POLICE.
How Superintendent Smith
Would Improve the Ser
vice in GreenYille.

In his annual report to the Police Com
missioners, Superintendent Charles P,
Smith recommended several important
changes in regard to the Fifth precinct
police, which have caused much favorable
comment in the Greenville section. In
the report Mr.. Smith says
II find it impossible to cover the ex-
treme territory embraced in the Fifth
precinct with the limited number of men
assigned to it. Many Of the posts are so
long that patrolman on foot can scarcely
cover one during his entire time on duty.
I would respectfully recommend the
establishment of an entire mounted force
in the precinct"
The Greenville citizens who have been
petitioning and praying for more poll ce-
men in the precinct, are hustl1ng again
and will visit the Police Commissioners
and request them to adopt Superinten d.
dent Smiths excellent suggestion. The
Sixth District Citizens Association will
also discuss the matter at its next meet
ing.
LONG DISTANCE POSTS.
At present there are four men on duty
during the day in the Fifth precinct. At
night there are seven men on duty. Some
First precinct. No. day post is over a
mile square. 1t is bounded by Danforth
avenue, Myrtle avenue and the New
York and Newark Bays. From Danfor5h
avenue TO Myrtle avenue is at least
mile and a quarter and the distance from
New York 10 Newark Bay is also over a
mile. How one man can cover this big
post is mystery II the men were
mounted it would be d different matter.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
Superintendent Smith said:-
81 hope that the Commissioners will
adopt my suggestions and l believe that
they will do SO. If the men in the Fifth
Precinct were nominated, they could give
US better service. The posts are SO large
that it is nothing short of shameful 70
ask one mau to cover any one of them.
When the new station house is completed
there will be room for twenty horses in
the stable. The only obsta acle in the path
of this Improvement is, the matter OF Sc
curing an appropriation to purchase
horses. l believe, however, that the Com
missioners will secure this. will do all
can to secu this improvement.
SERGEANT soLoMoNS'S VIEW.
Sergeant Solomon, when interviewed.
said
"rhe scheme to mount all the patrol
men in the Fifth precinct is an excellent
one. hepe that the Commissioners will
duOpU 0Mith ooSECS7
tions. This is big precinct, and we
should nave all our men mounted. The
posts are too large. and the patrolmen
have to worN hard in order to properly
cover them"
Captain Smith refused to be inter-
viewed. He said he was under orders and
would do whatever his superior officers
told him to do. He thought the scheme
WAS good one however.
There are at present two mounted men
in tie precinct If the Police Commiss-
toner's decide to mount every one iuclud-
ne Roundsmen, Sergeants and Captains
will each receive "nag."

TINY LITTLE EMBEZZLERS.
Boys of Twelve In jail Untried Since
November,


Simon Frank. of Summit aven ue, dur
ing last November. caused the arrest OF
William Jennings and John Blanchtield
for stealing $6.75 from him. The boys
are both a little more than twelve years
old. After being in jail until today, the
boys were arralgned. They pleaded
guilty, Blanchfield said he was a mes
senger for women at the race track, and
he lost his share of the theft cking the
horses. Jennings spent his on theatres.
''How does it happen that you have
not been arraigned before?" inquired
Judge LiDpincott, amazed that the two
boys had been in the jail all this time
without having pleaded. The boys Were
not able to explain and then the Judge
asked Mrs. Blanchfield, how many chill
dren she had.
s'Eight, your Honor"
'Egnti It's time to stop, madame. II
you cannot properly care for children you
should not have any more. You are to
blame for this boy being here. You have
not brought him up properly. Children
should be sent TO school TO ac-
quire an education for a founda-
ton to go through the world
with. Any child can go out on the street
and earn little money, and by doing SO,
when they become fifteen or eighteen
years old, they have acquired knowl-
edge of the art of making money in an
improper manner, which generally brings
them to Court. 1t would be better for
children to be cared for by institutions
than to be sent out in the street so young.
"The cause of nine-tenths of the defal-
cations which take place is because chill
dren ara allowed to make money before
they have reached the age at which their
character Is formed. They meet evil asso-
ciates who mould their characters, and it
is seldom that these characters prove to be
good ones. Boys go where gambling exists
in open view, and they soon learn TO
know as much concerning these things as
persons of more mature age. The boys
are not to blame for yielding to tempta-
tion, for it is but natural result. 1t is
the fault of the parents, and for 1t they
should be condemned. Parepts have no
right to say that they do not know where
their children go when out doors; it is
their duty TO know"
"How many children have you, Mrs.
Jenningss" inquired the Court, terminat-
ing the lecture.
give, and Willie is the Oldest"
Judge Lippincott and Judge Kenny
conferred. and then Judge Lippincott
said that the boys had been iu jail long
enough and suspended sentence.

A MADDENED HORSE.
Runaway in Hoboken May Cost the
Life of a Little Boy.

Runaway in Hoboken May Cost the
Life of Little Boy.
Little Walter Hasel, six years of age,
of No. 230 Bloomfield street, Hoboken,
was thrown to the ground and run over
this morning by mad runaway horse
drawing an empty cutter, and received
injuries which may result in his death.
The runaway evidently came from
Weehawken, and entered Park avenue at
the fire house. 1t met with no ODstru CT
tion till the corner of Eli ghth street and
Park avenue was reached. Here Grocer
Lang's wagon was standing. The hoi> Q of
the approaching runaway caused Langs
horse to turn TO one side, and as it did
SO, the cutter struck the horse. 1t backed
to the curb, and blood flowed from gap
ing wound in the animals side. The
runaway continued in its made course
down Park avenue.
The primary classes of No. 4 school on
PARK avenue, between Fifth and Sixth
streets, had just been dismissed and
the streets were crowded with
the children. When they saw
the runaway approaching they
scrambled for the doorways of nearby
stores and residences. Many were thrown
to the pond, but none received serious iu-
jury. The Church Square Park a. Fifth
street Interrupts the continuance of Park
avenue for a BLOCK. Into the Park the
mad horse rusked.
Here it was Walter Hazel met with
the accident. With little girl he was
unable to get out of the horses way, aud
both were knocked down. The girl re-
ceived only IL few scratches, but
Walter was unable to move.
His head was horribly cut, and
his arm hung limp at his side. City
Gardener Meevus was also knocked
down, but was not injured. The
cutter became entangled at the
fountain, aud the horse disen-
gagged itself, leaving the cutter a
wreck. The morse with one shaft con-
tinued down Fourth street to the foot of
hill and then ran along the railroad
tracks TO First street, where it was and
placed in the stables of John Niven.
Walter Hazel was carried to st. Mary's
Hospital, by Officer kaufman and Park
keeper Sullivan and attended by DIR.
ChaDert.
On the seat of the cutter was the name
Cerken Ferris.
A mau named Davis reported at the
suD-station this morning that his horse
had run away from New Durham.

sWILL MILK DIARIES.
This Mornings Session of the State
Board of Agriculture.
Special to The Jerseg C1ty Mems

Special to The Je7seg City Mems.
TRENTON, January 30, 1903 -The swili
dairies in Essex, Hudson ana p assai
Counties were discussed at much length
at the meeting of the State Board OF
Agriculture this morning. The subject
was considered in a lengthy paper
read nv Dairy Commissioner
George Mcguire. He stated there were
LOCO stables i'll Hudson county flied
with cows fed on swill and brewer
malts, and 1900 in Essex county. These
stables shelter 1900 cows which are fed
and forced to produce milk that is sold 10
private consumers. This milk is of a
suspicious character. Competent au-
lhorities say that it Is unwholesome. The
Dairy Commissioner thinks more laws
should be secured SO that both the State
and the local Boards of Health could have
power to act.
DR.. A. G. Converse urged the farmers
to ask for legislation that would compel
all veterinary surgeons in the State to be
examined by State Board similar to the
State Medical Board. Many of the veter-
iuaries are incompetent, he said, and not
fit to 90 into herd of fine cattle and in
spect them.
President Edward Burrough of Cam
den will be reelected for the fourth term;
DR., E. b. Voorhees,, of New Brunswick,
vice ce-president: Franklin Dye. secretary;
E. d. D. Denise, treasurer. The Execu-
tive Committee will be W.R Lippincott,
Burlington; H. F. Bodine, LockJown;
and f. f. Baker, Cumberland. The Road

May Disrupt the Order.

The fight in Forestry circles over the
extra eight per cent assessment levied by
the Grand Council, is assuming
alarming proportions, and unless
some discretionary action IS
taken 1t promises to disrupt the order. A

tion on the assessment, waiting till they
see the result of the test case of Court
Hoboken No. 7,45S The members of this
court. at meeting held last night, posi-
lively refused to honor the assessment,
on the ground that it is exorbitant and in
violation of the laws and regulations or
the order.
Grand Secretary Frank La Pointe. who
is member of Court Hoboken, endeav-
ored to persuade the members to honor
the Grand Courts call. If this were not
done. he said, the Court would be sus-
pended.

boken, General Secretary La Pointe
and Grand Recording Secretary Gull
len would be forced from the

WAR over COMPANY D.
Rival Candidates For the
CaptaincY Making
Things Lively.
LIEUTENANTS MUST RESIGN.
Color Sergeant stratford Says
the Company Needs Re-
organizing.
LIEUTENANTS MUST RESIGN.

Now that the new armory is an as.
sured fact 1.-THE members of Company D,
Fourth Regiment, are taking more inter-
est in the company and it is highly prob
able that Captain will be elected at the
meeting on Tuesday evening. The most
prominent candidate for the position is
Brigade Color Sergeant Stratford. II Is
said that Lieutenants O'Neill and Code
frey Dillaway are also in the race, and
the contest will be hot one. The rules
of the National Guard of this State make
1t necessary for a newly elected CAPTAIN to
receive the endorsement OF the Bri gade
Executive Board before they can assume
charge of the company.
The Executive Board, it is said, favors
Mr.. Stratford, and it is wit their en-
dorsement that he goes before the mem
bers of the company. He stands an ex-
cellent chance of being elected as he is
very popular am ong the members. Ii he
is elected, he says he will not take the
office unless the two Lieutenants tender
their designations.
LIEUTENANTS MUST RESIGN.
"Yes, it is true that am being doomed
by members of Company D for the cap
taincy," said Mr.. Stratford to me, land
at their request have entered the race,
and now that am in the fight will, of

two lieutenants must resign before / as

nothing to do with the office, Everyone
will admit that the company needs
reorganization, and the best way
to begin is with the Off
cs. Good officers will always
make good company. AS the Fourth
Regiment is today, there is but one coms
pany, the Gun Detachment of course ex-
cluded. that can be called com pany. and
that is Company A. If elected, will
make every endeavor to bring Company
d up to the same STANFORD of proficiency
as Company A. l will also endeavor to
have the company removed to Bayonne.
If there is much objection to this plan,

deavor to organize a new company in

DILLAwAY WONT GET OUT.
Lieutenant Godfrey DiIaway is maS-
| ing an active canvass for the captaincy.
| He has been a member of the company
for over ten years, and ne will. no doubt,

| ford's threat that he will attempt to re-

has aroused these two officers, and they

1t is likely that Lieutenant ONeill will
