Rodents and Ssshe for More

Con Donovan, a brother of Chief of
Police Donovan of Hoboken, owned the
saloon at Newark and Hudson streets
until about two weeks ago, when he sold
out to Louis Kaufman. One reason why
he sold the place was because he wanted
to retire from business for while, and
another reason was because the place
was overrun with rats No less than
from one to three of the rodents were
caught nightly, and it was a common
sight to look in the window in the early
part Of the morning and see dozens Of
them scampering over the bar and free
lunch counter Last night the six traps
which were set did excellent duty. Each
trap contains two apartments and each
apartment conta ned good sized rat

Once.

Sheriff Toffey gave the police little
shaking up today. He also caused sur
prise in political circles by taking the
cases of the twenty-one liquor dealers
arrested for violating the Sunday law out
of the hands of Police Justices Potts and
Douglass.
Early this morning Chief Murphy was
notified that the policemen who made the
excise arrests on Sunday last must ap-
pear before the Grand Jury this after
noon The Chief explained that the pris-
oners We're TO be given a hearing Wednes-
day night and Thursday morning by the
Police Justices. Word came back that
the Sherin wanted the witnesses today
no matter when any other examinations
were to be held. AS consequence the
policemen were notified to go before the
Grand Jury.
TIL action of the Sheriff has caused
liquor dealers considerable uneasiness.
Chief Murphy says he expects indict-
ments will be found against every man
arrested as strong evidence will be given
by the officers.
