JOHN p. FEENEY'S RUDE AWAKENING.

JOHN y. FEENEfS RUDE AWAhENING.
John Parnell Feeney has cause to be a pessi-
mist and to lament the good old days that are
gone John holds only two offices In Jersey

sioner and likewise Prosecutors detective.
few years ago he was, IN addition to these, As
seinblyman, Chief Of the State police force and
several other oficeholders all at the same time.
His industry In collecting and pnning down
offices furnished the theme for many eld-
Quent exordium to aspiring politicians. Where,
they were asked where but in the ranks Of the
Democratic party can you find such apprecia
ton of ability and faithful party service? If
you Join the Republicans and finally get one
office that is the limit, but with - there Is no

too numerous TO mention Mr. Feeney WINS shorn
Of all his titles except that Of county detective
and City Police Commissioner Recently he has
been suspected Of giving way to melancholy in
contemplating the advent of Republican
Prosecutor next April, who will probably try
to worry along without Mr. Feeneys able ser
vices But he was consoled with the reflection
that until better days dawned he could still
serve Jersey City as a Police Commissioner.
This assumption was reasonable, for had lie not
weathered the gale Of Republican administra-
ton. and was there not now a Democratic
Mayor in the City Hall making appointments?
Mr.. Feeney had a rude awakening the other
night. He attended a meeting of the Third
Ward Democratic Club, and, without warning
Of any kind. his fellowmembers hustled through
resolution asking Mayor Hoos to appoint Mr..
Barney Foley in Feeney's place on the Police
Board.
Mr.. Feeney was thunderstruck To be thus
"trun down" in his own district was more
than he had ever bargained for or dreamed Of
in his gloOmest moments. 1t was surely bad
enough for the Republicans 10 be stripping Mr..
Feeney OF his yellow Jacket and peacock
feather and divers other adornments without
having his whilom friends tear the last political
latter from his back. 1t Is no palliation TO say
that Mr. Barney Foley Is a saloonkeeper and that
the boys were thirsty, and are frequently 40.

liqudate at reasonable periods without collateral

~HAUGHVILLE IN THE CITY
THERE WILL BE NO SUBURBAN
ELECTION AT THAT PLACE TODAY.
FIack and His Attorneys Agree to
the Annexation In
junction Suit To-day.

Joseph F. Flack agreed last night to dis
miss his suit to enjoin the annexation of
Haughville. Sterling r, Holt has been
arguing with MIR. Fiack to take this step
for some days and he finally consented to
do so late last night. MI. Holt accom-
panied him to the homes of the inspectors
who were to have looked after the elections
to-day and notified them that they need
not hold the elections, as the suit would be
withdrawn. The withdrawal of the suit
gives the city jurisdiction and dissolves the
suburban corporation. Afterward they
went to see Charles w. Smith, of Duncan,
Smith & Hornbrook, who are Mr.. Flack's
attorneys. Mr.. Smith agreed to appear in
court this morning at 8 o'clock to dismiss
the suit.
This will come as welcome news to most
of the residents of Haughville, who have
all along been annexationists. F1ack OPP
posed the idea, he says, mainly because he
thought the town would not receive fair
treatment from the city. He feared that
heavy street improvements would be or
dered. The action of the Board of Park
Commissioners in deciding to extend the
Fall creek park system down to Washing
ton street was something hat Haughville
favored and threw something of a damper
on Mr.. Flack'S predictions. Last Friday
Mayor Taggart said that 1T was likely the
suit would be dismissed before it came to
trial. Mr.. Holt brought the news to the
city at midnight after all the details had
been agreed on and was authority for the
statement that no election will be held in
Haughville to-day.

ROBY LOOMS UP AGAIN
GOVERNOR MOUNT MAY HAVE TO
DEAL WITH CONTINUOUS RACING.
Preparations Being Made at Ham
mOnd for Another Meeting-GOver-
nor Says He VIII Act Promptly.

1t is not unlikely that Gov. Mount will,
within the next few days, have presented
to him one of the perplexing Roby race
track questions. A report from
states that preparations are being made to
hold a fifteen days meeting on the Lake
County Fair Associations track, near
Crown Point, the sport to begin May 10.
A fifteen-day meeting closed Saturday
night at Forsythe, one of the Hammond
tracks, and this fact has caused some COM
ment as to whether the meeting to be held
May 10 will be legal, the Supreme Court
having given a decision making plain it's
views on the continuous racing question.
In it's opinion on the Roby problem the
higher court held that after a race meet
ing has been held thirty days must nave
elapsed before another can be opened.
1t is said the Roby people are preparing
to have continuous racing in lake county
all summer. 1t is claimed that a syndicate
of Chicago and Hammond capitalists are
heavily interested in the establishment of
a regulation course. Dispatches state that
1.-THE identity of the men interested in the
new project is withheld for the present be-
cause matters are still in q preliminary
STAGE
Governor Mount said last night that he
had had no information from Hammond
regarding the continuous racing project.
He said he was thoroughly familiar with
the decision of the courts on this question
and would permit no violation of the law.
He would feel it his duty, he said. to take
of the Roby people to carry on illegal
racing.

AGE LIMIT ON GUARDS
OLD SOLDIERS PROTEST AGAINST A
STATE REFORMATORY RULE.
G~evernOr MOunt EspOuses Their Cause
Boards Reason for E~stabIish-
ing the Regulation.

The recent action of the board of man
ayers of the Indiana Reformatory at Jetfer-
sonville in making an order prohibiting the
employment of men over forty years Of age
in or about the prison has caused some
thing of a furry in the ranks of the vet
eran soldiers. They say this order practi-
cally prevents an old soldier from securing
a place in the Reformatory in any capacity.
There is a great deal of Indignation among
the veterans over. the boards action, and
several strong protests nave been made.
Yesterday Governor Mount received Il let
ter from a committee of eX-soldiers, in
which the board Of managers was strongly
criticised. Governor Mount had not heard
of the new order, and during the day talked
with Warden Hert over the telephone about
it. The Governor appeared to feel that the
veterans had not been given a square deal
by the board. He felt, as he said last
night, that, taking into consideration that
a fourth of the men who enlisted for serv-
ice in the army were over forty years old
at that time, it is a little rough tc shut
them out now" The Governor thought that
if the men were able to go to the front in
the stormy days, they were surely eligible
to places in the prison, and unless mcapaci-
tated for any kind of work, could perform
the duties required there.
Warden Hert told the Governor he had
not before looked at the matter in the light
in which the chief executive put it. He
was sure the board had no thought of dis
eliminating against veteran soldiers when
1t issued the order. The warden promised
that the complaint of the veterans should be
considered by the board. Governor Mount
also talked with James A. Henry, one of
the board of managers, and the latter
seemed to share the Governors views.
1t is understood that when the board
made the order complained of the members
had in mind the welfare of the prison, and
1t did not occur to them that such an order
would exclude all. veteran soldiers from
places III the institution. The only employ
meRt in the prison aside from clerical work
is guard duty, and it seems to have been
the views of the board of managers that all
guards should be active and abIe-bodied
men, always alert and prepared to cope
with the most vicious class of criminals.
The guards at the Reformatory are not al
lowed firearms, and must mingle with the
prisoners armed only with heavy canes. In
the event of a revolt among the prisoners
the result might largely depend upon the
strength and agility of the guards who
would be called upon to quell the disturb
ance.

A TALK BY THE GOVERNOR.
Presented Diplomas at Tabernacle
Sunday-SchOOI Exercises.

Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the grad
uating exercises of the primary depart
ment of Tabernacle Sunday school were
held. The pastor, Rev. ]. Cumming Smith,
omitted the usual morning sermon and as
sisted in the Sunday school exercises. The
names of the graduating class are: George
Crozier Moore, Lawrence Grow, Harry Ed
gar thinner, Bertrand Stoddard Hawkins

Bryan, Raymond Alexander, Preston Con-
dit, Warren Maxwell, Frank Williams,
Ethel Tyler Hutchinson, Emily Jane For
sythe, Rena Mallory. Olive Ingersoll, Edith
Cleveland and Isabelle Gates. The teachers
are Miss Mary Wilson, Miss Clara Ingram
and Mrs. c. D.. Meigs.
The exercises consisted of music and rect
tations and short talks by the school Off
Gals. After singing the Twenty-third
Psalm the little folks were catechized as to
their knowledge of the Bible. There We're
many bright and ready replies to the QueS-
tons put to the class. Bert Hawkin deliv-
cred the valedictory for the class. Gov
ernor Mount presented the graduates with
their diplomas, delivering a short, interest
ing talk on the benefits of the Sunday
school to the young. He impressed the fact
on the members of the class hat, while
they We're leaving the primary department,
they were by no means leaving the school.
They were only preparing themselves for
greater work and more extensive knoWl-
edge. He adtured the boys of the class to
never forget the Sunday school. Its infiu-
ence was bound to make them better men
and prepare them for the highest and best
things in life. Prof. w. H. GlasScock then
presented each graduate with a Bible. The
exercises closed with the hymn, Sweet
Story of Old, by the congregation.
