There Is said to be a good-sized hitch be-
tween the Observation-Disclosures Steam Navi-
cation Company and the United States Govern
ment as to whom shall pay for the wrecking
of the end of the Wells, Fargo Express Com
pany's pier and Superintendent Groves office
by the steamship Werkendam, a week ago.
On the day of the accident an agent OF the
steamship company called on officials of the
express company and said that MS company
would make good the damage. Since them
however, it seems that the steamship company
has raised the point that as the Werkendam
was in charge of a pilot at the time of the
accident, the United States Government was
responsible. The work of repairing the pier
and reconstructing superintendent Groves
office is going forward, however, as rapidly
as possible.
The express company cannot afford to wait
until the dispute is settled. The cost of re-
pairing the pier and reconstructing the Super
intendent's office will be between five and six
thousand dollars.
AT the Jersey City offices of the express
company it was said this morning that the
steamship company had notified the express
company that it would not repair the dam
ages, as it did not consider itself responsible
for the accident. This action was taken by
the steamship company after it had started in
to secure plans and specifications for the re-
pairs, and the notification came in the nature
of a surprise. The ans company did
not state why it refused to carry out its
promises. The matter of finding out who was
responsible for the damage caused by the
Workendam was left to the express company.
1t is surmised that the steamship company
started in to repair the damages under the
impression that the company in which it was
insured against such accidents would make
good the amount expended, but that the o.
surance company has raised the point that the
ship at the time, being in the charge of a
pilot and not the regular officers the owners
could not collect insurance money.
1t was said by knowing ones that the State
would be held responsible in such a case, as
the pilot in charge at the time of the acci-
dent was a New Jersey pilot, by the name
of Shields. The State laws of New York
and New Jersey prohibit any ship from en-
tering or leaving this harbor except in charge
of a New York or a New Jersey pilot.

Policemen Schenck and Ruhle. West Hobo
ken's excise sleuths. were knocked out again
yesterday in the General Sessions Court. The
last time they appeared against a restaurant
keeper whom they had charged with selling
liquor without a license. it was shown that
one of them played the old game of pretend
ing to be sick and the sympathetic restaurant
keeper gave him some whiskey.
The defendant yesterday was Robert Gouber-
man of High Point avenue. The sleuths had
played the same game with him. They went
into his restaurant and ordered coffee and
frankfurters. Then one of them had a sud
den and violent attack of cramps, and Gouber-
man gave him some liquor from a bottle he
kept in the place for his own use. The
sleuths made a complaint against him and
he was indicted.
The defendant testified that they did not
even pay for the whiskey. He was promptly
acquitted.
