COMMISSION FOR NOONAN
Supreme Court Appoints
Lindley Garretson to
Take Testimony.

Especial to 'The Jersey City News.'o
TRENTON, June 13, 1S99.-Attorney-
General Grey moved before the branch of
the Supreme Court this morning to be al
lowed to use in the disbarment nroceed-
ings against Joseph M. Noonan and Alex
ander Simpson the testimony of Buttner.
Beck. Pidgeon and Rappelye, which was
taken on the trial of the defendants in
the Court of Oyer and Terminer. Mr.
Gray explained the situation to the
Court
Justice Depue asked why he lid not
get a commission to examine the Wit
nesses in the State they are in
Mr. Gray replied that that was the
question before the Court. If the iisbar-
ment proceedings were in the nature of a
civil action the commission would be TAXI
en- The Court then ordered the argument
to proceed.
Thomas F.. Noonan opened for Joseph
NJ Noonan. He claimed that the testi-
mony wanted was not correctly reported
on the minutes of the courts, and that If
their testimony was to be used on the
disbarment proceedings he would like to
cross examine them. Mr.. Noonan then
quoted numerous authorities to show
that it was not the practice in this
mony taken in another. In answer to
questions by Justice Gummere, Mr..
Noonan said that he must admit that
this was civil case and that the court
could allow a commission to examine the
witnesses outside of the State.
Congressman DAILY said that he appeared
for Mr. Simpson, but as his legal position
was the same as that taken by Mr..
Thomas Noonan he did not wish to pro-
long the argument, especially as he saw
what was passing through the mind of
the Court.
At this proceedings came to a sudden
end and the Court issued a rule appoints
ing Lindley Garretson commissioner toS

REORGANIZATION.
Bergen Republican Club
Members Suggests Ways
and Means.

A meeting of the Berge nRepubHcan
Club is scheduled for this evening. II
rumors count for anything, another
warm session, productive of little ex-
element may be the result. A leader
of the anti-ring element, who was in
strumental in having resolution passed
condemning the action of the County
Committee in censuring John Mouncey
for alleged disloyalty to the party, said
last night that an attempt may be made
to rescind the resolution passed three
weeks ago.
If these people think they can bring
out enough people to throw down our
resolution said he 'they are very
much mistaken Let them start the
fight anew if they wish: we are ready
for them. No funny business will be
tolerated We are out for honesty, and
mean to have it before we get through.
"These attempts at reorganization may
be all right. but the bosses have gone
about the matter in the wrong way. As
yet no answers or opinions have been
sent by our people. What should be done
is pick few men from each ward. Let
these get together and suggest a plan to
bring the party back in the position it
once occupied. These people have been
fooling around for several weeks solicit
ing opinions from lot of dead ones.
These answers come from dissatisfied
kckers-men who are sore because of
being frozen out of jobs. What do these
count for? Nothing. Even when opinions
are tabulated and report submitted, the
work will amount to nothing. No one
will pay any attention to the plans laid
out and the party will drift along IN the
old apathetic way"

: R0UNDSMAN WAS COOL.
Patiently For Man To Die
and Then Locked Him Up.

Morris Cohen, of No. 80 Water street,
ran into the Gregory street police sta
ton late last night, in a very excited
condition. He said he had been poisoned.
He told Roundsman Toppin, who was be-
hind the desk, that he would be dead
in two minutes If a doctor were not sent
for.
The roundsman, realizing what he had
to contend with, waited the two min
utes to see if the man would really die.
At the end of that time, finding the
man was alive, he locked Cohen up for
safe keeping.
Cohen, who said he was a brother of
Morris, said that this course was the
best as Morris might do himself or 9th
ers bodily harm. Cohen fell asleep soon
after being locked up in a cell and slept
until eight o'clock this morning, when he
was taken before Police Justice Nevin
in the First Criminal Court.
Joseph Cohen told the Court that his
brother had been very sick and that tis
mind had been weakened from the eff
fects of the illness. Joseph volunteered
to look after the safety of his brother
if released. Morris refused to accompany
shis brother unless he had protection
Justice Nevin ordered Roundsman Top
pin to accompany the two men as far
as the P. r. R. depot. They both took
a train for Trenton.

WILL BE NO SALOON.
Mr.. Scudder and His Neighbors
Have Won the Fight.

The residents in the vicinity of Jack
son avenue and Forrest street, with the
assistance of the Rev. and Mrs. John L.
Scudder, have won their fight against
the opening of a saloon in that neigh
borhood. The place in question is To-
Gated at Jackson avenue and Forrest
street. Frederick Guterl of No. 164 New
ark avenue, is the owner and Joseph N.
Roy the agent.
The building was leased about two
weeks ago by the agent to Louis Rosen-
baum, of Newark avenue, who keeps a
saloon on that street. A deposit was
paid and alterations were begun.
The work had not proceeded very far
when the residents discovered that a
saloon was to grace the corner. A petition
against it was cirYilated and Rosenbaum
hearing of the objections gave up his
saloon idea. received his deposit back and
let the matter fall through. Those in
strumental in defeating the saloonkeep-
er's project are happy over the result.

Agent Roy yesterday. .I let the store,

MAY JOIN DEMOCRATS
Birch and Petty Leave the
Republicans Consider
ing Other Parties.

Thorough1y disgusted with the strife
raging in the Republican party IN the
Seventh Ward, Mr.. Edward Birch, for
thirty years an active and influential
member of the party, has resigned from
the County Committee. the Seventh
Ward Republican Association and the
Seventh Ward Republican Club. At one
time Mr.. Birch was a strong factor in
the politics ot the ward. Although ne
never sought political office, he contri-
huted considerable money to the sup
port of the various Republican clups
throughout the ward
A few years ego Mr.. Birch was an
active member of the Minkakwa Repub-
lican Club. The story of the factionai
fight and the organization of new club
in the Seventh Ward has been repeatedly
told in 1.-The News"
Mr.. Birch SAID to News" reporter
that he had decided to retire from poll
tics forever Continuing, he said that he
had received nothing but ingratitude
from a party in whose interests he mad
spent a vast amount of time and money
When asked if he would join the Demo-
cratic party. he answered that he had
not as yet decided upon the matter.
Mr.. Henry c. Petty also intends re-
signing from the Seventh Ward Repup-
ncan Club. 1t is said on good authority
that he will join the Democratic ranks.
1t was said last night by Republican
thoroughly conversant with the pohncel
situation of the ward, that he personally
knew over one hundred Republicans
who. thoroughly disgusted with the
present ward leaders, would shortly join
the Democratic party. They claim that
the leaders, through lack of energy and
knowledge of politics, are wholly to
blame for the existing state of affairs.
AS a result of Mr.. Birch's withdrawal
from politics, the building of the Seventh
Ward Republican Club House will be I'M
definitely postponed. Mr.. Birch had
promised to give it lot on which to
erect the building, but it is now hardly
probable that he will keep the promise.
