BEST POLICY FOB ooYLE

James Solomon, the convicted policy
dealer, was formally surrendered this
morning by his bondsman, James Coyie,
and delivered into the custody of Sher-
if Heller. The police have had him in
custody since last Friday, but did not
turn him over because he felt confident
that he would be able to procure a new
bondsman, and they wanted to give him
a chance. He had not succeeded up to
this morning, and it was decided to let
the Sheriff rave him.
Mr.. Coyle was not personally acquaint-
ed with Solomon, but went on his bond at
the solicitation of a mutual friend. Some
body informed Mr.. Coyle recently that
Solomon was making preparations to
move to some other part of the country,
and Coyle thought it best to be on the

On July 80 Kicker hired a bicycle valued
at $50 from Whyard and Dunn, OF the

not return the wheel and was not seen
again until Sunday afternoon when Act
ing Detective Ho1derer Of the Sixth pre-

a number of companions. He offered no
resistance when placed under arrest, but
admitted his guilt, and said that he had
pawned the wheel in a Bowery, N. Y,
pawnshop for s., and afterwards sold the
ticket for a dollar to a man he met at
Coney Island. Holderer with a New
York Central Office detective visited the
pawnshop named, blu could find no trace

it there.

fenced to Snake Hill for nine months on
conviction of a charge of larceny.

The Association to Grab once
Holds = Characteristic Meeting.

Et0I0s = Cnarncter1btIc MaetiuGs
The Veterans Rights Association OF
Hudson County held its second largely at
tended and enthusiastic meeting at the
Avenue House on Saturday night last.
Letters of regret were read from Mayor
Hoos of Jersey City, Mayor Pagan Of Ho-
boken and Register George b.. Fielder.
A proposition to appoint an executive
committee met with vigorous opposition
from Secretary Charles II. Vale. He de-
clared that from the appointment of such
sub-bodies arose a species of bossism most
detrimental to the welfare of organiza-
tions. He thought the work of the asso-
citation would be more thoroughly per-
formed by having all questions submitted
to the organization as a whole.
Ex-Assemblyman P. n. O'Neill dis
agreed with this view. He said that such
a committee was absolutely necessary for
the work of the organization, but should
be appointed without power except to
consider questions referred to it and re-
port back to the main body.
The first speaker introduced by Presi-
dent Simmons was Alderman Frank
Weiss of the Tenth ward. He declared
himself heartily in. accord with the OBJ
jects of the organization and expressed
his regrets that by reason of the limited

unable to be of material assistance.
Assemblyman Wildman said:-"I am
pleased to learn that this organization in
eludes the son as well as the veteran, for
the latter is rapidly passing away and
this new blood of the sons of veterans
will be of inestimable benefit in lighting
the battle for our rights" HI speaker
then referred to the many Legislative bills
intended for the benefit of the old soldier
which had been killed by politicians in
terested in the spoils of office rather than
in the welfare Of the veteran who, he
war that his country might be saved"
Congressman McEwan was highly COM
mended for the stand he. took in the case
of a veteran named Corbett.
President Simmons appointed the follow
ing committees:@Constitution and By
Laws, Colonel T.. c. Wildman, chairman;

bers will be appointed at the next meet
ing, which will be held at the Avenue
