CHARGED WITH BIGAMY
Fondness for Frequent Marriages Gets
William Moar in Trouble

A complaint was filed with the district at
torney yesterday charging one William
Moar with the crime of bigamy. The COM
planning witness Is Moar's first wife. who
alleges that he married her In St. Loui. In
1880. Later he left her and came to Los
Angeles, where last May he married Mary
Louise Crippen under the name of William
Myers, and is now living with her on Wash
ington street near the Rosedale cemetery.
The last marriage ceremony was performed
by a Mormon minister, who was SO dense
IN his ignorance as to forget to forward the
certificate to the office Of the county clerk
for registration. The auspices under which
the marriage ceremony was performed
would indicate that Moar had embra ced the
Mormon faith, and especially that part OF
1t pertaining to the possession of more than
one wife.
A warrant was issued from Justice
Young's court for his arrest and placed In
the hands of Deputy Constable Martin to
serve. Up to last evening he had not Sc
cured his man. and rumor has It that tho
bird has flown. The first wife has at least
mad the satisfaction of depriving her re-
creant spouse of the felicity of his second
marital venture.

DISHONORED GID GLORY
ssrgeant-at-Arms Wood Re-
fused to Cheer for the
Flag at Grant Lodge.

The refusal of Master-at-Arms r. Y.
Wood to salute the American flag at the
meeting of Grant Lodge, No. So, knights
of Pythias. at Arcanum Hall. on Thurs
day evening, has caused indignation
among the members IN general and from
present indications fhe next meeting OF
the lodge will be the most interesting in
the history of the Organization.
Grant Lodge is one of the most promi-
nent Pythian organizations in Hudson
county. 1t boasts of a large membership
and numbers among its members such
prominent citizens as ex-Judge Henry
Puster and Police Justice ]. Herbert
Potts. Neither of these gentlemen was
present at the meeting in question. how
ever.
The lodge is known to sister lodges as
the sociable Grants because of the in
| formal entertainments which are given at
nearly every meeting. Among the mem
bers are many musicians and the latter
never fail to enliven the meetings when
ever the opportunity presents itself
On Thursday evening these members
were in fine mettle. The meeting haa
been unusually interesting, one new mem
Der had been initiated and the mempeSs
were unusually cheerful. During the
course of the usual informal entertain
ment one of the member started a dls-
cussion oyer the Maine catastrophe.
Like good and true patriots the lodgemen
vowed vengeance upon Spain and declared
that they would be among the first to
shoulder muskets and proceed to liberate
Cuba.
Patriotism was at fever heat and when
one of the members spread a large Amer
lean flag over the altar and called Tor
three. cheers for Old Glory" the Pythlans
turned themselves LOOSE in a way that
left no doubts as to their PATRIOTISM.
The cheers given were SO vociferous lnat
the policeman on the beat fastened 10
the spot fearing that a riot was IN pro-
gress. Cheer followed cheer until those
giving them grew red in the face. Master
alarms Wood who is said to be a native
born Englishman, remained in his seat
calmly watching the scene, until one OF
the members noticing hat he was not
among those who were paying homage to
Old Glory asked him to join in the cheers
and the patriotic songs which followed.
Wood respectfully declined. Other mem
bers then repeated the invitation but he
again declined.
The members exchanged knowing
chances n continued the celebration.
After the meeting adjourned Woods re-
fusal to cheer the flag formed the SUD-
ject of a lively discussion, and While the
members agreed that some action shouia
be taken in the matter nothing was done
at that time. One of the members VINO
asked to have his name withheld, said last
evening in an interview with a reporter
for "The Jersey City News" that action
would be taken in the matter at the next
meeting.
1--WE feel that Woods action was an in
suit and that an apology is due from
him. We believe that every man should
respect the country which gives him a
living. Persons of foreign birth, COM
PEELED to come to America in order TO
live should. above all others. revere our
flag

Republican Legislative Majority Will
Not Reform tho j. Ps

TSpecial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.',1
TRENTON, March 5, 1sss.-Chandler H.
Riker, of Newark. acting for the Justices
of the Peace of the State, has succeeded
in having eliminated from the act revis-
ing criminal procedure the section which
seeks to leave the Justices without juris-
diction in municipalities having a Police
Judge or Recorder.
Mr.. Riker appeared before the Senate
Judiciary Committee, which had the mat
ter in charge, and declared that the office
Of Justice of the Peace was a constitu-
tional one, which could not be abolished,
as would be the case if this section were
adopted. He quoted a decision~of the SUI
preme Court of the State in the case OF
Ehlers VS.. Schroeder, delivered in 1864,
which held that the office of Justice of the
Peace was one clothed with criminal jul
risdiction as c-onservatorss of the peace,
which could not be removed by statute. 1t
was pointed out also that while the pro-
posed change would deprive a Justice of
the Peace of power in the locality in
which he resided it would still leave it
possible for him to act in case of crime
committed within the county, but outside
of the municipality in which he lived.
Senator Johnson admitted the incon-
gruity and said it would entail hardship
as we'll, in certain boroughs which have
Recorders who are lawyers that practice
outside the city and are frequently absent
when their services are. required.
Acting on that supposftion, the commit
tee decided to recommend the striking out
