DARING SAFE BURGLARY
Professional Craeksmen Made a
Neat Job in West Hoboken
$500 Taken.

A daring safe robbery occurred about three
O'Clock this morning in the TIN shop Of Osmon
Paeschel in Spruce street, West Hoboken, the
most thickly settled part of the town. The
safe must have been opened by professional
who knew his business WELL
The combination was picked, the inner com
partment smashed with some heavy instrument
and $500 in cash and some valuable papers
were stolen.
Paeschel came home about $50 A. NJ. from
a supper given by A. c. Nolte of the Hack
ensack Plank Road. With him was Henry,
Loudrouf. Paeschel resides near his store,
and about to open the door leading up
stairs when Doudrouf called his attention to
the fact that the store door was open.
Paeschel knowing that he had locked 1t be-
fore supper, guessed that something was wrong
and Immediately entered the store. He went
rear, where the safe is located There he
found the safe door wide open and his papers
and books strewn about the floor
Paesehel went out and shouted police
Officer Fillmore, who was in the vicinity,
responded. An examination Of the premises
disclosed that the burglars had effected an
entrance by forcing open the store door with
a jimmy.
Paeschel is under tlse impression thai he was was
robbed by some who was familiar with
the store. The job must have been done by, a
clever professional or sJE4e one who knew the
combination of the safe.

point that the contract was awarded in
bad faith While ne was arguing. Judge
Dupue told him that 1t was not necessary
for him to read his argument further
as the court had his printed dbrief before
them.
Judge Depue asked if the contract
contemplated the abandonment of the
Belleville reservoir. Mr.. Edwards said
that it called for the delivery of the
Heights but the Belleville works were
to be kept in repair three years so as to
be prepared {, for an emergency IN, case
the new works did not work properly.
Mr.. Thompson then argued atlength
to show that the Jersey City Company E.aay

in this most important matter they had
never consulted an engineer: That he
Air McDermott followed, arguing
against the constitutionality of Chapter
contract was awarded. He started out
by citing the acts giving the Jersey City
found necessary to check that power,
and the Board of Finance was. given the
Water Boards acts In cities where the
control of the water supply was given to
Boards Of Works and IN which H. the the
were not denominated Boards of Finance
and Taxation. the power to make a
contract was given without restriction
to such Boards of Public Works.
MIR. McDermott quoted all the. laws re-
lating to the subject and argued that as
those passed for Newark and those for
Jersey City differed whereas they. should
agree, and as the act under which the
contract under consideration was
awarded applied to Jersey City only, it
was special, and therefore unconstitu-
tional and void. He claimed differ
entation could not be made upon the
name OF a Board. Mr.. .McDermott also
argued the point that the contract was
Illegally awarded. AS the city was about
to make a contract absolute for the pur
chase of water and conditional contract
for the purchase of the plant. He also
argued the point that the Beard of FL
nance did not approve the contraef. Re
ferring to the action of Messrs. Detwil-
Ter and Simpson, he said that Jersey
City was entitled to the best thought
of it's officers, and when those officers
said, 1--WE have tried every way to have
our views considered and failed on every
side'', they were in a poor condition to
award a contract A municipal Off
Ger could not excuse the doing of what
he believed to be WRONG by saying that
some action was necessary and that he
could mot prevail upon others to do
