WON'T PAY BEER TAX.
Greenville Liquor Dealers
Resolve to Fight the
Brewers Action.

Tn response to a call sent out by the
Greenville Liquor Dealers Association, a
few days ago, about twenty members
were present yesterday afternoon, at a
meeting held in Conrad's Hall, Ocean
avenue and jackson place. The meeting
was called to take action on the war tax
of 81 on a barrel of beer.
President Otto Conrad called the meet
ing to order and asked if any were ready
to offer any suggestions. One member
proposed raising the price of "pints'' to
fifteen cents and a few others signified
their approval of such action, but when
1t was put to a vote, it was smothered.
Then a resolution was finally drawn up
in which it was stated that the mem
bers of the. Greenville Liquor Dealers,
Association will refuse to pay the addl-
| tional charge on a barrel of beer. In
| case their refusal to pay meets with no
| sn,ccess. the association will leave mat
| fers in the hands of the State association,
| which meets this evening in Orange.
Every member present at the meeting
was determined to abide by the resolution
| and some said tina when the collectors
| call they will refuse to pay the extra
charge.
President Otto Conrad while in CONVEX
| sation with a reporter of The News
| shortly after the meeting, said that the
| were very determined In
| the stand they had taken and would not
nav unless directed to do SO by the State
| association.

TRIPLE DOG FIGHT.
Harry Petty's Retriever Attacked
by Two MastiRs.

The residents in the vicinity of Dam
forth avenue and the Boulevard, Green
vile, were treated to a little excitement
last evening, about seven o'clock. which
served to awaken that usually quiet
neighborhood for the time being. The
excitement was caused by three dogs
who gave an exhibition of how to chew
and mawl each other.
About seven o'clock, Harry Petty, who
had just finished his supper, came out of
of the Boulevard, and behind him was his
fathers dog, a big white retriever. Harry
was not aware that the dog was follow
ing him. A few doors from the Petty
home lives a Mr.. Rolcker, who owns two
large vicious mastiffs. These dogs are
closely watched, and are seldom let out
because of their vicious nature. Just as
Harry Petty was emerging from his gate
last evening, Max Rolcker came out of
his house, and behind him were the two
dogs. The mastiffs seeing Petty's dog,
Immediately rushed for him.
Harry Petty, thinking the dogs were
| coming for him, lost no time in making
for the nearest tree where he sought a
| place of safety. The three dogs met and
there Immediately followed a fierce fight.
Either one of the mastiffs was large and
powerful enough to finish Petty's dog, but
the canine stuck to the fight and would
have been killed had not Harry Petty
jumped from the tree and m the
mastilfs with stones. Will Petty also
came out of the house and took a hand
in the affair. He also pounded the mas
tifs with stones until they skunk away
bleeding from numerous Wounds. Pet
tvs dog was also badly used up. being cut
and chewed in many places.
TO see the crowd that had gathered,
coupled with the screaming of women and
the shouts of men and boys, one would
have thought that murder was be.ng done.
Fully a thousand people had gathered
| around the fighting dogs.

ing said notice. then the city may re-
quire the contractor to construct
trunk sewers to intercept such pollu-
ton. and convey the same out OF Inc
gathering grounds, or TO construct
and operate sewage disposal works
to the end that the water furnished
shall be preserved in a pure n
wholesome condition
1t shall be seen that the first re-
quirement is that the contract shaii
this the city may require him to con-
vey the Objectionable matter beyond
the gathering grounds or construc5
disposal works. Ii the city snouio
buy the plant, the purchase would IN
clude the disposal works, and While
such works were used, the cost OF
their operation woul fall upon Jersey
City. If the gathering grounds OF the
water should not be wholly Wlnln
the State of New Jersey, this question
might prove a very serious one, but IL
such grounds are within the State, the
proper course would be to prevent the
suggested pollution.
There is not any good reason why
Jersey City should be called upon to
take care of pollution produced from
any source within the State. Those
who work or attempt to work such
pollution can be restrained by the
courts. 1t would therefore be to the
best interest of the city to decline to
exercise the alternative power of di-
recting the construction of disposal
works or sewers and to refuse to ac-
cept water or plant until all nuisances
affecting the supply had been abated.
The contractor should furnish a supply
of pure water from u~npoluted sources.
He should prevent pollution while he
supplies water and the city should con-
tinue this prevention after the plant is
purchased; and the proper way in each
instance will be TO enjoin those who
sStrrxF mt nff0r IN
take care of the polluting substances.
This opinion is the result of questions
raised by Finance Commissioner Ringle
at the conference with the Mayor yester.
day, in which Commissioners Heintze and
Boltwood took part.
Mr.. Ringle maintained thai under the
specifications the city would have to
build and maintain sewers to keep the
city's supply from becoming polluted,
The Mayor and Messrs. Simpson and
Heintze argued otherwise and declared
that if Mr.. Ringle's contention were true
they would not vote for a contract which
did not better protect the city and re-
lieve it from the possibilities of having
to shoulder any such burden as that.
Mr.. McDermott's opinion makes the
Mayor and Commissioners Boltwood an6
Heintze, Simpson and Ringle advocate
the acceptance of the Rockaway bid with
even more vigor han before.
sIt will be a grave mistake to reject thu
bids,'' said Mr.. Simpson. THE pending
propositions are good ones, and | thinl
one of the $4,000, OOo gallon plants SHOULD
be accepted. We will never get a gooe
supply at any cheaper price than 1t is Of
fered to us at now. The Street and Wa
ter Commissioners, however, are bosses.
The impression prevails that if the bid.
are rejected it will be a long time befor'
new specifications are agreed upon an;
bids advertised for.

HUDSON TUNNEL SCHEME
Chancellor Asked for an
Order to Sell the Property
New Plans.

The big mortgage of nearly four mill
ions of dollars, given by the Hudson Tun-
mel Railway Company to the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company and Henry
John Broughton Kendall of London, Eng
land, trustees of the bondholders Of the
Tunnel scheme between Jersey City n
New York, came up before Chancellor
McGilI this morning. when Counsel Henry
S. White, counsel for the Trust Com
pany, asked for an order to sell the rail-
road company. This application was
based on the foreclosure of the mortgage
held by the Trust Company.
For some time past the affairs of the
Hudson Tunnel Railway Company have
been in anything but a rosy condition.
They have met reverse after reverse,
hard luck afser hard luck, and although
there is only go feet to complete the tun-
mel to New York they have been obliged
to abandon the project.
The entrance to the unnel on the Jer-
sey side Is near to the Erie depot, at the
foot of Fifteenth street. Jersey City, and
the New York entrance is at the foot OF
Morton street.
When the property has been sold the
trustees for the bondholders will reorgan-
ize the company for the purpose OF com
plotting the unn and putting through
it q trolley line. When that is finished
passengers may reach New York City
from Jersey City in three minutes.
Chancellor McGill took the decree sub
mitted by Counsellor White and will, it
is said. grant the order of sale.
