ENRAGED BY SANDER
Why Friedrich Ulrich Punched
Gilbert O'ConnelI's
Head.

"A row between two men over a young
woman whom both courted ended in q
scene in the First Criminal Court, this
morning, before Police. Justice Potts.
Frederick Ulrfeh, 20 years old, was ar
raigned for %assaulting Gilbert O'Connell,
of No. 2S4 Pavonia avenue. Ulrich was
represented by Lawyer Donellan. AT his
request examination was postponed I'M
til Monday morning. In the meantime
the police will try to arrest William
Leahy, who is accused Jointly with Ul-
rich. 1t is said that Leahy is working
in Philadelphia, where he secured a place
on Monday. The alleged assault occurred
on Saturday last, at Grove street n Pa
vonia avenue. Ulrieh admits hat he as
saulted O'Connell, but he alleges that he
was driven to it by the insults and SLAM
ders of O'Connell.
h whole trouble arose over a young
woman, Miss Anna A. Leahy, of Grove
street and Pavonia avenue, sister Of the
William Leahy for whom a warrant has
been issued. Miss Leahy is employed az
cashier in the keystone Restaurant, on
Pavonia avenue, near Grove street. III
rich is employed in the restaurant. Miss
Leahy is reputed to have considerable
money Of her own in the bank. She had
many suitors. Among them was O'Con-
nell. 1t was generally believed that he
was the accepted one. He made it known
that his suit was looked upon favorably
by the young lady.
Everything went well with him until
Ulrich appeared. He too courted Miss
Leahy and soon she showed unmistaka-
BILE signs of preference for him. This
made O'Connell angry and it is alleged
that he attempted to belittle Ulrich in
the eyes of Miss Leahy. 1t is alleged
that he circulated stories in effect that
I Ulrich bore an unsavory reputation and
that Miss Leahy would compromise her
self by going with him. These stories
were carried to Miss Leahy by outsiders.
Instead of confronting Ulrich with them
she told her brother. William. He went
to Ulrich and demanded an explanation.
| UIrich satisfied him that there was no
foundation for the accusations against
him. Together they went to Miss Leahy
and a general explanation was made.
Then Ulrich. Leahy and Miss Leahy
hunted up O'Connel and demanded that
he retract his statements. He is alleged
to have replied that he would not re-
| tract and that he repeated that Ulrich
wa not a proper person for any respect
able young woman to go with, and that
| Miss Leahy must be as bad as he If she
/ went with him. That was too much for
| Ulrich and he pitched INTO sConnell and
gave him a sound thrashing. Leahy
was on hand to give him assistance If it
was necessary, but it is alleged OsCon-
fore Leahy could get at him. Ulrich
will probably plead guilty to ~assaulting
| O'Connell and trust to the Court for
| mercy.

COL. SMITH 4 MYSTERY.
His Presence at Street and
Water Board Causes
Much Speculation.
LEHIGH VALLEY GRADE CROSSING
Mayor Hoos' Objection APP
pear to have Spoiled
the Plan.

Colonel Robert G. Smith attended the
meeting Of the Street and Water Board
yesterday afternoon. The Colonel's pres
enee oecasioned no end of comment and
speculation. In the first place it Was
whispered about the Hall that the Colonel
was on hand to show that he considers
he is justly entitled to retain his seat ~
the Board. It has been coptended by q
few politicians and fewer lawyers, h a
the Colonels seat in the Street and Wa
ter Board is vacant. Before accepting
the appointment of Colonel of the Fourth
New Jersey Volunteers, Mr.. Smith con-
suited Corporation Counsel McDermott
about the effect his Colonelship would
have on bis continuance as a Street and
Water Commissioner. MI. McDermott
advised him, it is known, hat he could
Legally retain his seat, and that is the
course he proposes pursuing.
Mayor Hoos at one time thought he
would have to appoint a successor to Col
onel Smith. AT the outset he displayed
his friendship for the Colonel by an
nouncing that even should he be called
upon to name a successor to him, it
would be with the understanding that the
day the Colonel ~eturned from the war,
the man appointed in his stead should re-
sign and allow the Colonel to be rein
stated in the Board to which he was
elected by such a handsome majority.
ColonefsSmith has arranged that so long
as his regiment remains at Sea Grit, o.
in this neighborhood he will attend the
meetings of the Board and perform the
duties that belong to him as Chairman u
several important committees.
To some of the politicians who were
about City Hall yesterday, the Colonefs
presence had a different meaning than a
plan to secure him in his seat in the
Board. There were not a few who said
that the Colonel was on hand to help out
his colleagues, Messrs. Hauck and Nc
Ian. should they want to transact n
business 10 which Messrs. Heintze and
BoFtwood might object.
There has been considerable said by out
siders of a determination of Messrs.
Heintze and Boltwood TO square accounts
with Hauck and Nolan for forming &
combination with Commissioner Smith
and shutting them out.
Both Commissioners Heintze and Bolt
wood emphatieally deny that they have
any such intention and declare that they
propose working as h-arrnoniously as pos
sible with Hauck and Nolan. Yesterday
Commissioner Heintze wa absent.
1t had been reported early in the day
hat the board would take some action on
the petition of the Greenvflle and Hudson
branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
to cross C~ommunjpaw avenue at grade.
Commissioners Heintze and Boltwood are
opposed TO the proposition and Colonel
Smith it was thought had attended yes
terday's session to cast the majority vote
for the crossing should the matter be
brought To 4 head. An hour before meet

FAGAN'S FALSE COLORS.
Hoboken Fireman Say He Did
not Perform Heroic Feats
at Yesterdays Fire.

The members of the Hoboken Fire De-
partment are incensed at the statement
made in a. local paper to the effect that
the hremen were guilty of cowardice at
the big blaze in Angelo Podesta's liquor
store, at No. $50 and So Washington
street, Hoboken, the particulars of which
were fully told in last nights Jersey
City News"
TIL local paper wildly portrayed Mayor
Pagan. its patron saint, as putting the
fremen to shame, by leading them with
a hose and rescuing an old woman. The
hremen say that the alleged heroic act
of Mayor Pagan is a myth, and that the
story criticizing the firemen and lauding
Mayor Pagan is a tissue of ~falsehoods.
They say that Pagan. by his bluffing tao
tics hampered the hremen by giving orr
ders over the head of the Chief. The
fremen were between the Devil and the
deep. blue sea. Mayor Pagan gave them
one order and Chief Applegate another.
and they did not know whom to obey.
They say that Pagan acted the part of a
meddlesome fool all the way through.
Chief Applegate is greatly incensed over
the unwarranted criticism of the men I'M
der his command. He said to as.Jersey
city News reporter. last night, that the
best evidence that the firmen did not act
cowardly lies in the fact that several of
them were overcome by smoke, and are
now at st. Mary,s Hospital. The Chief
says that he was greatly hampered in
fighting the fire owing to the lack of by
drants in the upper section Of the city.
He says that he has repeatedly asked
for moro MIGRANTS, but the authorities
would not grant his request.

MONEY FOR EAST JERSEY.
City Pays S95, 1913, 40. For
Water Doubt as to Cor
rectness Of the Bill.

The Street and Water Commissioners,
at their meeting yesterday, made a SUB
stantial payment to the East Jersey
Wafer Company on account of water fur
nished the city. A warrant was ordered
drawn in favor of the company for $685.
39S. 40. which represented the consumption
for the months of January February
and March. The payment exceeds a
thousand dollars a day. There was a
lively discussion In caucus about the bill
and it is believed that before another
month has passed the city will have a
meter or meters on the delivery main
so that some check may be kept upon
the meter from which the company takes
its figures. There is an impression pre-
vailing that the company's meter regis
ters too rapidly for the city's good.
Meters could have been attached to the
delivery main before this had the Board
of FINANCE appropriated $4,000 with which
it was proposed to acquire meters. The
yme of s95, 1893. 40 ordered has to be
c~oncurred in by the Finance Board 1t
is believed that the meter money will be
forthcoming when the Finance Commits
sioners find that the payment is for only
three months consumption.
AT their meeting yesterday the Finance
Commissioners %concurred in the payment
to the ompany of $49.861.61. This claim
was n~on-concurred in two weeks by
the Financiers for the reason that the
Street and Water Board had, upon the
demand of the company, allowed inter
est on the claim. When the Finance
Commissioners heard of the interest
charges they returned the bill to the
Street and Water Board for revision and
with Instructions to allow the company
no interest under any circumstances.
The interest was chopped off the bill
and the Finance Commissioners ordered
payment made When the payment of
sos. GOO is made the city will owe the COM
pany only three months water rent.
Since the temporary supply was acquired
the company has never been paid up SO.
