|NIPPED In THE BUD
Hoboken District Court
Scheme Spoiled by "The
Jersey City News
RATHJEN AND THAT $500 SNAP.
Jakey" Bretzfeld Not Likely to
Get There-A Silly
Threat.

The plans of q few would-be dictators to
secure jake Bretzfeld the job of ~straighten-
ing up the accounts Of the Hoboken District
Court have been spoiled through the publ
cation of their intention in THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS.
THE NEWS showed last Friday how I'M
necessary are the services of an assistant to
Clerk Rathjen. The work to be done con-
sists merely in classifying the cases which
nave been before the court in the past year
and in going over the record books of the
court.
This work should have been done by ex-
Clerk Lewis when he was Clerk. Through
his negligence the work was not done. Why
his bondsmen were not held responsible it is
hard to say. Some of the City Hall poll
ticians may be able to tell--but they won't.
When Rathjen was appointed it was under
stood that Judge Paxton would see that
everything was put in proper shape But
the first thing people knew, was the request
to the Tax Commissioners by. this pnan
Rathjen to have $500 appropriated to- cleaf
up Clerk Lewis negligence. This young
man didn't propose TODD it-not he. Tine
Tax Commissioners allowed the money.
They are sorry now they did.
THE CLERK SHoULD DO THE WORK.
1t is not absolutely necessary that this par
ticular work should be done Immediately,
and still more unnecessary is it that an extra
nan should be engaged to do it. The Tax
Board was made to understand that the work
was piled up in the court so high that Clerk
Rathjen could never sift through it, and for
that reason they allowed the appropriation.
Had they known what a simple job it is no
such appropriation would have been made.
1t seems now it was the scheme of a few of
Rathjen's dictators to get the job for Bretz-
field and then work the money into their own
pockets. Rathjen informed a reporter of
this paper that Bretzfeld would have the
work and afterwards denied having said it.
A wAGGING
Obviously, Rathjen had been reprimanded
for having innocently given away that bit OF
intelligence, and it is very doubtful now ii
Bretzfield will be given the SNAP" How
ever, some of Hoboken's politicians, and
those interested in this plot, are peculiar of
disposition and there's no telling
but they will, for all that,
make an attempt to slide Bretzfeld in.
They rely, of course, upon the Common
Council acting at their bidding, and then
openly boast, why, we have the Council"
The Council has been told of the funny
business by this paper and undoubtedly
will not countenance any such thing.
To get square" with THE NEWS, as he
thinks, Clerk Rathjen threatens not to give
the Hoboken reporter of this paper any
more news from the court. This is just an
exhibition of the Stiffness of the young man.
THE Ne WIS will get the news.
