Captain Hayes Ignored In Hoboken by
His superiors.
Chief Donovan Of the Hoboken Police
Department, started on his vacation trip
to the Catskills last evening. He will re-
main away for thirty days. Before leav-
ing he notified Chief of Detectives Tanning
that he was to be acting chief during his
absence. Many of Captain Hayes
friends look upon the ogder as coming di-
rect from Mayor Pagan, who is President
OF the Police Board, and criticize the
Mayor for ignoring the Captain. Mayor
Pagan is at Asbury Park and will not re
turn before Monday. 1t is claimed on the
other hand. that the Captain has only
acted as Chief during the Chiefs absence.
and that was last summer under Sheriff
Stanton, who was then Mayor. On one
such occasion, when Herman Thinker was
Mayor, Mr.. Thinker acted as Chief of Po-

opposite sides of Grand and Barrow
streets By the most strenuous exertions
of the Fire Department A general
alarm was given about 4:15. for the
fierce winds from the south and the dry

aagration imminent. The corner houses
and shops, and john McGough's three
story house, No. 300 Graud street, on the

the north side of Grand street were
scorched, and the necessary drenching
they received caused some damage by

two rough looking men to bring down
her trunk for she had 500 in it. They
went up and brought down the trunk

men profusely but they hurried away.
The trunk was not locked. n Mrs.
Fletcher opened 1t Immediately and In
