HBARqLESS FATHER
William Grammar Refuses All
Medical Assistance 70
His Sick Son

A case of heartlessness and cruelty al
most beyond belief is engaging the atten-
ton of the police n health authorities
of Jersey City today. 1t is that of an
unnatural father who refuses to buy med
icine or engage a doctor for his fourteen
year-old son, who is i'll with scarlet fever
and who will not even give him a bed to
lie upon. City Physician Henry has been
sent to minister to the sick boy.
Shortly before midnight last night a
poorly dressed woman entered the Oak
LAM avenue police station. She vas in
tears. Between her sobs she told her
story to Sergeant McGuinness, who was
at the desk. She was the wife of William
Grammar, a bridge carpenter, employed
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Her husband earned $50 a month. Their
fourteen-year-old son had been stricken
with scarlet fever, from which their little
girl had just recovered. The boy was ter
ribly i'll with the dread disease, and yet
his father refused to call in a doctor. He
refused even to have the medicine which
the little girl had taken renewed. The
woman wanted the police to compel her
husband to do something for the boy or
he would die. Sergeant McGuinness sent
Patrolman Dunn to investigate.
He found that the Granzmans lived in
rooms above a store at No. "A Hoboken
avenue. There was but one bed in the
room, and that was occupied when Dunn
entered by Grammar.
The sick boy was lying in a chair. Mrs.
Grammar told the officer that when her
husband was home she and the children
were forced to sleep in chairs, as he in
sisted upon occupying the whole of the
bed.
Dunn asked Grammar why he did not
get a doctor and medicine for his sick
child. Instead of replying, the man COW
cred his head with the bedclothes and did
not show his face or speak a word while
Dunn was in the house. Sergeant Nc
Guinness sent DR.. Henry to attend to the
sick boy. Both children will probably be
removed to the hospital for contagious
diseases ~

SIGNED A DEED FOB AN ORDER
queer Transactions Charged In a
suit in Chaneery.

Ex-Assemblyman Demarest applied to
Vice Chancellor Stevens this morning for
an injunction to restrain Joseph Reich
field and Annie, his wife, or either of
them, from disposing of or in any way
incumbering a plot of land at Avenue c
and Sixteenth street, Bayonne. The APP
plication was made in behalf of Isaac
Comann and his wife Dora.
In his bill Comann sets forth that he is
a Russian and but imperfectly acquainted
with the English language. He entered
into a contract with Reichfield TO pur-
chase the plot of land in Bayonne and
erect a building thereon. The deed to the
premises was to stand in their joint name.
On October % last, CONAN declares, he
was visited by one Joseph Schoenfleid,
who told him that the material man was
delivering the wrong kind of lumber for
the building on the Bayonne lot, and
would not change it for the right kind
unless Conan and Reichfield would sign
an order directing him to do SO. He asked
Comann to accompany him to a saloon
in the neighborhood. He did so, ana there
he met Reichield with the order on the
material man, which both signed.
Comann declares that he afterWard dis
covered that instead of signing an order
he had signed a deed of the property t
Annie Reichfield, wife of his partner. He
declares that he never acknowledged the
paper, nor were there any DEEDS on II,
for had there been he would have been
suspicious and not signed the paper.
The defense denied the allegations of
the compliments and declared that the
iced was l~egitimately obtained for a fair
consideration. The case is still on.

Hob0ken Police Capture q
Notorious Green Goods Man
at the Right Time.


Charles. alias George, Johnson, a no.
torious green goods man who has baffled
the police of New York and other cities
in his nefarious business for over fifteen
years, was arrested by Policeman John
McKenna and Detective Michael Fallon in
Hoboken on Sunday afternoon, while in
company with a supposed come on
who described himself as Frank Andrus,
% years old. of No. 1905 Baldwin avenue.
Elmira, N. Y.
When arraigned before Recorder Nc
Donough this morning both men refused
to make any statement and were com
mitted to the County Jah to await trial.
Policeman McKenna saw johnson, An
drus and a third man enter William
Trautwein's saloon at No. 22s Washington
street, about four o'clock on Sunday
afternoon.
johnson, who is a short stout man,
with a black mustache, carried a small
satchel and appeared to be particularly
interested in the younger of his com
panions, a well dressed man of about
twenty-three years of age. The CONVEX
satiop between the men in the saloon
Immediately aroused Trautwein's sus-
picion, and he notified Mckenna of their
actions. A few minutes later the men
left the saloon and walked down Wash
inton street, followed by McKenna. At
Second street Johnsonehoticed McKenna
behind him and start4 to run, calling
to Andrus and the .Hher man to fol-
low him. Just then Detective Fallon
jumped from a trolley car. McKenna
pointed out the two men running away,
and Fallon overhauled Johnson. The
third man escaped in the direction of the
ferry.
In Johnson's valise the police found sew
enteen rolls of green goods" ready for
delivery, $73 in good money and SAL in crisp
new 81 bills. He gave his name as
York. He refused to give the number.
When asked his occupation he replied

Andrus denied all knowledge of John

money unless part of the roll found in
Johnson's possession belonged to him,
as he had only three s. bills in his pock-

TABULATING REALTY OWNERS.

The Tax Commissioners are having pre-
pared a set of books which will show the
purchase and sale price of every lot in

cost records and the amount of insurance
on buildings. The new books will con-
tain every atom of information that is
required in levying an assessment. BY
means of the new books property in all
parts of the city will be equitably as
sessed and the Commissioners contend
that it will be a difficult matter for own
ers of property to make a successful ap-
peal from the assessments levied by the
Board.
Arrangements are also being made to
have a set of books prepared which will
give the name of every holder of personal
property and the quantity. The real and
