WON'T MARCH IN ANY CASE
Men Of the Fourth Don't
Like the New Uniforms
Officers Do.

Since the meeting of the members of
disbanded Company L of the Fourth
Regiment, last Friday evening, in the Ar
mory there has been a great deal of
talk among the militiamen. The ques-
tion discussed at the. meeting was
whether or not the men could be forced
to Join other commands. Article of the
General Orders, quoted in 'The News, .
of Saturday, says plainly that the men
are to be discharged and the officers
placed on the retired list.
At least nine-tenths of the members re-
fuse to apply for transfers to other COM
panies, as they were directed to do But
five have asked for transfers so far. The
rest propose to fight the matter to the
end. They say they will employ counsel
if necessary. A committee was appointed
to confer with the Adjutant General and
protest against the merging of the COM
pany into another command.
The men propose to stand by their cap
tain, Alvin H. Graft. None have been a
bit backward in SO declaring.
Not dozen men in the company have
manifested a desire to remain in the regi-
ment 1t is claimed by the men that Com
pany LIS percentage of attendance is not
excelled by any company in the regi-
ment.
The committee will report the result of
its conference on Friday evening, when
meeting will be held in the company S
old rooms, providing there is no inter-
ference Definite action will then be
taken.
The men propose to strip the room of
the furnishings purchased by them, If
they go out. This they say they have a
perfect right to do. No discussion has
arisen on this question as yet. They also
say that they will not parade on Me-
mortal Day if the regiment attends the
unveiling, of the Soldiers and Sailors
Monument in front of the City Hall.
Company LIS men are not the only ones
who will not go out. An officer of Com
pany B said that if the campaign uni
form, as adopted in the reorganization
orders, was worn, he would not go out;
Others have said that the men should be
allowed to wear the dress uniforms.
The campaign uniform, consisting. OF
blouse, trousers, leggins and campaign
hat, have not yet arrived. 1t is said that

orial Day the regiment will not be ordered

nOBOKEN CONCERT HALLS
Chief Donovan Asks the Police
Commissioners to Fight
Them.

In his annual report to the Police Com
missioners, submitted yesterday, Chief
Charles Donovan, of Hoboken, takes oc-
casion to comment on 1.-The unprecedented
number of murders during the past year"
in that town Referring to the murder Of
Patrolman Charles sGebhardt, on July 26
1898, Chief Donovan characterizes it as
a most deplorable affair.
THE bravery shown by Gebhardt," says
the Chief, Glasses him as a fallen hero.
He died as he lived-a brave man. He
always did his duty and died doing it.
Through legal technicality conceived by
lawyers his murderer, a thief and a
scoundrel, vet lives, although the sem
tence of death has been twice imposed on
him.
Crime in TIoboken, the Chief says, is
on the decrease, fewer arrests having
been made during the past year than dur
ing the five preceding ones. A good deal
of the decrease in crime the Chief attri-
butes to the judicious administration OF
the Recorders Court.
The Chief also calls attention to the
unnecessary nuisance of the concert halls.
s'These places ought to be wiped out, :"
accomplish this is by compelling the pro-
prietors to pay heavy licenses. trust
the Council will take speedy measures to
suppress this growing evil
Another class of saloons which should
be refused license is the ones where pro-
fessional mattresses, commonly called
sbarmaids," are employed. These women
are employed by the owners OF the sa-
fny. 0ron
to make the customers, or those who
may visit the places, spend their last
cent. Then there are saloons where. pri-
vate rooms or boxes are used. These
places are patronized by men and women
Of doubtful character that menace mo-
rality. Fortunately there are not many
Of them will furnish list of all the
above mentioned places to the License
Committee in due time.
IN addition to the routine reports of
the various branches of the department
the Cnief takes occasion TO praise the
bicycle policemen, especially for their
work of the past year.

.BAYONNE SCHOOL UNSAFE
Children Dismissed From
Attendance at No. 2
Till Examination
Is Made.

When the eight hundred pupils who at
tend No. 2 School in the Second ward,
Bayonne, assembled this morning, they
were dismissed. They were told not to
come back until notified.
Yesterday afternoon the Committee on
Buildings and Repairs of the Board Of
Education, consisting of Trustees Lee.
Atwood Calvin and Knowles, was maxi
ing its annual examination at the differ
ent school buildings in order to determine
what repairs were necessary. Attention
was called to large cracks In the rear
wall of the main building of School No. 2,
and to the numerous bricks that had fall
len from the main chimney.
Building Inspector Thomas Herbert and
Architect Hugh Roberts were immedi-
ately consulted, and it was deemed best
to dismiss the school until careful ex-
animation could be made. This will proh-
ably be done late this afternoon.
No. 2 School was originally built in
1870 when No. and No. were also con-
structed, all by the same builder, Eben-
ezer Benny, the father of Assemblyman
Benny of Bayonne Additions to No. 2 in
1881 and 1896 made the largest School
1t has two annexes. Altogether accom-
modates LAO pupils. There are over 100
applications on the waiting list.
The construction of the 1896 addition
was faulty The ceilings have fallen sew
eral times owing to the excessive vibra-
ton caused by the floor joist not being,
properly braced The Board of Edueati
refused to pay the contractor, MfchaeI
White, and the architect, August Schmidt
in full. White effected compromise.
Schmidt sued and recovered judgment for
the full amount.
Today one of the rooms Is destitute of
plaster Another shows signs of being
nearly ready to fall. On the top floor
of the original building bricks are con-
tinually falling from the inside of the
walls They can readily be removed by
the hand
The condition of No. building recalls
the scandal over No 8, some four years
ago, which kept a large number of school
children in the Third ward without school
facilities for about two years. The build
ing was removed to a new site and re-
paired at a cost of over $4,000. 1t was
almost Immediately condemned as unsafe
and sold at auction for $780, It was re-
placed at cost of about $4,000.
