MINKAKwAs ON THE WARPATH

When the first steps were taken toward
the organization of a County League of the
Republican clubs the Minkakwa Club of
Greenyille, through a committee Of its mem
bers announced that it was heartily in
favor of the scheme, but Reuben Simpsons
pet organization has experienced a sudden
change of heart and is now opposing the
League with a vim tina threatens to work
mischief. As a result there is much gossip
in Republican circles and the Minkakwa
Club is being roundly scored on all sides for
opposing q scheme which has been endorsed
by Chairman Woolley aid other prominent
members of the Republican County Com
mittee. r
The fact that the club is not in harmony
with the League was brought at the last
meeting when Messrs. Dunn, Ramhurst,
Brocker and Isaac Goldenhorn were APP
pointed a committee TO consider the adviSa-
bility of joining the new organization. Prior
to that time the League had held several
meetings, and at each one Minkakwa repre-
~sentatives took an active part. The officers
of the League as well as the representatives
from the score of other clubs supposed that
the Minkakwa representatives had been
given power by this club to act on all mat
tiers. Ali the other clubs had given their
committees power, hence the surprise of all
concerned when the Minkakwa Club an
nounced a few days ago that it had not yet
decided to join the League. and that it was
"just simply considering the matter
The League will hold q meeting on Friday
evening at the rooms of the Wanse Club
at the junction, and the stand taken by the
Minkakwa Club will be made the subject of
a lengthy discussion.

MCPHERSON AND SMITH OUT.
Said to BE al L~oggerheads Over
BeckiHan's Appointment.

Washington dispatches in various news
papers his morning state that Senator Nc
Pherson and Senator Smith are at odds over
two Important Federal appointments in New
Jersey. Senator Mcpherson has recon-
mended another candidate for the District
Attorneyship, and Senator Smith declines
to give his Endorsement. The ~Collectorship
is the other Office over which they disagree.
Miles Ross has now brought forward for
District Attorney J. w. Beekman of Perth
Amboy. Mr.. Beekman went to Washing
ton yesterday, accompanied by Willard F.
Ross. Senator Mcpherson signed Mr.. Beck
mans paper, and they were carried to Sena-
tor Smith, who refused point blank to add
his endorsement. 1t is understood that Mr..
Mcpherson made his recommendation on
condition thst Mr.. Beekman should be SIP
ported by Senator. Smith. but, in view of
the ~lattsr's action, it is not known whether
Mr.. Mcpherson will carry the matter to
the President. Captain Parker is still in
the city and has not given up all hope OF
securing the appointment.
Dir. Smiths refusal to indorse MI. Ross
candidate is accepted as meaning that If
Senator Mcpherson claims this appoint
ment, the junior Senator will insist on
selecting the Collector. The two Senators
have been unable to agree on this appoint
ment. Mr.. MCPHERSON. it is said, has rec
commended a man for this place.

point Heppenheimer as District Attorney

A RIDE FOR TWO CENTS
Discussing a Change of the Fares
of the Consolidated Trac-
ton Company.

A few words accidentally dropped BY one
of tho most influential of the stockholders of
the Consolidated Traction Company the
other day give an inkling to a big scheme
now under consideration. the beneficial eff
fects of which, if carried out, IN Jersey City
cannot be measured.
Briefly, the plan is to charge two cents a
ride for any distance within the city lin its,
and five cents to Newark from the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Ferry to the Market street
dep OF.
The few words uttered by the s~tockholder
were:-''I have been in man cities in Eng
land, where you can ride for a penny as far,
and further, than We charge five cents for.
Why, in London, from a suburb six miles
from the Mansion House, all one pays is two
pence, or less than our nickel. We have got
to get down to that, and you will soon hear
something.
ANEws reporter to whom these words
we're addressed started out to sound other
members of the executive board of the
company as to the change in fare, but as
the Kilkenny man said under similar cir
c~umstances, .Divil a word would they
spake."
IF you'll promise not to mention my
name, because it's only in the embryo state
now" said a member of the company to the
reporter, I'll say TINS, that q few OF us nave
discussed the reduction of the five-cent fare to
two or three cents
MORE PEoPL WOULD RIDE.
Then receiving a promise not to say who's
who, he said that it is upperlnost to every
railroad man that the more the fares are
lowered the greater will be the humble of
passengers. That he maintains has been
proved beyond doubt in every city where
the experiment has been tried. He is con-
WINGED that if in Jersey City the fare should
be fixed at say two cents, three times the
number of people would patronize the cars
than do at present.
Such a change would be noticeable on the
Pavonia venue or Erie street ferry
line, the West Newark avenue line
and most certainly the Court House
line, in fact those routes which
lead to thickly populated districts, now not
as remunerative as they ought to be. would
return great profit. Many and many a man
would take a car for a few blocks at two
cents a ride when he would rather walk
than give up a nickle. Poor people on the
north and east sides of the cities would
much oftener ride if the fair was reduced.
The advocate of the reduced fare summed
up the matter by saying that the company
certainly couldn't lose by the change, and
must necessarily double and triple It's re-
ceipts.
Mr.. David Young, when asked about the
question, professed to know nothing about
it, neither would Mr.. Stanley divulge any
thing.

a communication was received from Chief
| Donovan containing a list of twenty-nine
saloons IN which there is music. The Chief
suggested that the saloon at Newark street
and Park avenue, owned by the executors of
the late James Ryan; A. Hasseline's Hotel,
at First and Court streets; the saloon at
Second and Grand streets; John Heines sa-
loon, No. $50 Newark street; G. Sendry, at
Bloomfield and Second streets, Thomas Nc
Aleer, No. 104 Hudson street, and A. Jansen,
No. 100 Hudson street, be refused d license.
In a communication the Corporation At
tprney stated that the Council under the
Werts law could restrict and limit the issu-
ing of saloon licenses. . @8
There was a bitter dispute over Council
man Offerman's resolution to appoint the
ObSerte,' the official paper of the city, but
owing to the absence of Mr.. Snyder the reso-
luton was adopted.
The Corporation Attorney was directed to
begin an ejectment suit against the Hoboken
Land and Improvement Company for the
possession of the roadway at River and
Sixth streets The p claims the land
and has fenced it in. The Clerk was direct
ed to summon the ~saloonkeepers complained
of by Chief Donovan before the License Com
mittee on August s to show cause why their
licenses should not be revoked.
As soon as the Council adjourned Assem-
blyman Coyle asked Fenton his reason for
not voting against the newspaper chosen.
He refused to make any explanation, and a
heated argument arose. Coyle accused Fen
ton of having accepted a bride to vote as he
did. Fenton denied the accusation, and the
two would probably have come to blows had
not others interfered.

The Republican Plan of Ward Divi-

u IL IA
sion Slated for Adoption.
The commission appointed by Mayor Wan
ser to lay out ward lines for Freebooter and
Aldermanic districts will not complete the
work under two weeks more. The commits
sioners have already prepared q rough map
and this will be adopted after the ragged
edges have been smoothed away to the salts
faction of the Republican majority.
A member of the commission told me yes
terday that the man, as it now stands, shows
what ought to be four Republican, four
Democratic and four doubtful wards The
same commissioner said that it had been
though the proposition to have but SIX had
been discussed. He said further that the
Executive Committee of the Republican
County Committee had offered its services to
the commission, but the offer had been de-
clined. The commissioners also refused to
take cogniZance of the map of ward lines
prepared by Martin Finck and other repub-
licans. This map would, if followed, make
about nine out of twelve wards sure repub-
lican.
When the commissioners organized by the
election of Henry H.. Holmes as President, a
resolution was adopted requiring each mem
Der to prepare a map showing a division of
the city into wards in a manner which he
believed would equalize the vote and do
justice to everyone.
At the meeting to be held in the Weldon
building at four p. M. today, only two will
be considered. the slated one which is in
custody Of President Holmes, and one pre-
pared by Otto Grouse, the Democratic mem
Der of the board.

IN FRONT OF A POLICE STATION
A Policy Dealers big Business in
the seventh Precinct.

Edward Wayne, twenty-six years, of No.
500 Jersey avenue, was arraigned before
Judge Douglas this morning charged with
being engaged in the policy business.
Wayne is a well known parsonage in the
vicinity of Washington and Montgomery
streets. He played his game down town
obliged to break up his shop and try the
umbrella game as they cali it, or travel
around on foot and play his game On the
street. Wayne thought he would try the
business on the Hill and for the last week
has been working in the vicinity of Bergen
avenue and Montgomery street, directly
opposite the Seventh precinct station house.
Detective Larkins knew of this, and start
ed on the trail. He discovered that nearly
all the men in the saloons and on the streets
VIZ 9 playing policy. many of the employees
of the Consolidated Traction Company were
also in the game, and, in fact. nearly every
body talked about the gigs they had played,
or the hits they had made
Larkins saw Wayne selling gigs on the
streets about half past three yesterday after
noon. He kept a close watch III his victim,
and saw him enter several saloons. Wayne
became so bold in the business that he re
ceived plays openly on the street, aud did
not seem as though he wanted to conceal
anything.
About $50 P. NJ. Wayne boarded a car
at the corner of Bergen avenue and Mont
gomery street on his way to the central
Office in New York. As the car passed Sip
avenue Detective Larkins stepped aboard
and took the young man TO the Seventh pre-
