THE. BOG QUESTION TESTED
Mr.. Ely Questions the Rights
of the Catchers to Take
Licensed Animals.

Herman C. Rocktoff, of No. 20S Grand
street; and Charles ]. Daniels, of No. %
Vroom street, were prisoners this morn
ing in the First Criminal Court on a COM
plant of grand larceny preferred against
them by William F. Ely. of No. 6S Dun
can avenue. Rocktoff and Daniels Gre
employed as dog catchers by the Board
of Health Mr.. Ely accused the men Of
stealing dog valued at 500.
Mr.. Ely did not see the dog taken, but
was informed that the Board of Health
employees had taken the animal. He said
it was his opinion that as the dog was
licensed and as he paid a tax for him,
the animal had a perfect right on the
public streets. The complainant said he
thought the prisoners supposed they
were acting in accordance with the law
and did not take the animal with a
felonious intent.
Counsellor Manning, who appeared for
the Board of Health, claimed that the
defendants were legally authorized by law
to take any dog found roaming about the
street.
In order that the law in the case might
be looked up, Justice Potts adjourned the
matter until tomorrow.
A search warrant was given Mr.. Ely
in order that he might secure his dog.

STREET and WATER WANTS
Commissioners Appeal to the
Finance Board For Large
Appropriations.

President Hauck and Commissioners
Smith and Nolan of the Street and Water
Board personally appealed to the Board
of Finance last night for additional ap-
propriations.
Commissioner Smith, as chairman OF the
Committee on Public Buildings Gro lnds
and Parks, asked for money to pay for
! men to take care of the parks, to repair
the fountain basins in both Hamilton and
Van Worst Parks, about 1875 yards of ce-
ment work at s1.10 per yard, and $500
for $50 new park seats. Colonel Smith
thought 81, 900 would be sufficient to cover
the expenses during the remainder OF -he
fiscal year, but his colleagues thought
that at least 81, 200 would be required. The
Colonel said it was his intenti&Q to beau
tify the parks with flowers and 1t was a
shame that they we're neglected and .iot
made cheerful recreation places for tie
people. Col. Smith also asked for an ap-
preparation of s25 month to pay the sal
ary Of the Superintendent of the Arinory,
who had returned from the government
service and resumed his position.
In reply to questions as to whether the
duties of Superintendent of the Armory
ard the armorer cannot be performed oy
one man, Colonel Smith replied that they
could not as their duties were entirely
different. The superintendent had 20 .ooK
after the condition Of the building, report
its defects, attend to repairs, while the
armorer attends TO cleaning the arms, 10
the ammunition and the soldiers uniforms.
The Finance Commissioners promised
early consideration OF these matters.

TREACHERY IN HODOKEN
Democratic Executive Com
mittee Considers Charges
Against District Leaders.

Rumors of disloyalty among certain
members of the Hoboken Democratic City
Committee were rife during the recent
election. While the straight ticket was
elected, with few exceptions, the local
party managers were not satisfied with
the falling off of the vote in certain
precincts known to be old Democratic
stronghoIds and decided to investigate.
Last evening the Executive Committee
held star chamber session In the rooms
of the Michael J. Coyle Association. An
effort was made to keep the proceedings
secret and none of the members of the
committee would speak of what was
done.
1t was learned, however, that the COM
mittee had conclusive evidence of treach-
cry in the ranks and some sensational
disclosures are looked for. Committee
man Richard Bach has sent in his resig>
nation and other startling happenings are
looked for. The names of Committeeman
La Pointe and Kennedy have been re-
ferred to the County Committee. The
Executive Committee it is understood
has positive evidence of the disloyalty
of these two men.

pRAcTIsED FOR PATROL DRIVER
And Paddy Struck Too Hard--New
Use For Fran kfurters.

Paddy Welsh, who drives for Under
taker Merrity, is awfully anxious to be-
come a police patrol driver. He's got it
into his head that he's going to land there,
too, as soon as the Police Board is Demo-
cratic. He's a good Democrat and hard
party worker. At least he says so.
SO thoroughly imbued is he with the
idea that ne will land that he actually
practices upon an imaginary gong on the
front of Undertaken Merrity's coffin
wagon.
Especially does he do this when passing
the Seventh street station house or any
where in that vicinity, after having
caught the attention of any of the police
officers. He does it in fun and the police
laugh at him. A few days ago while pass
ing the corner at Seventh and Grove he
caught Sergeant Ffnnie's eye, and giving
the Sergeant a wink began to tap his
foot turiously, as though vigorously ring
ing his imaginary gong.
He was having great sport when all of
sudden there was crash. A hind wheel
fell Oft one corner of the wagon tilted
and PADDY went sprawlipg headlong into
the street. Then the Sergeant laughed.
There was big crowd on the corner, in
cluding Comedian George Thomas, and
these were augmented by lot of lunch
fends who ran out of McMahon's saloon
to ascertain the cause of I'll settlement.
They all had big laugh Paddy, but
all gave him a life They nearly de-
pleted McMahon's chafing dish of Frank
furters in order to grease the injured

published statement that the Tammany

with the firm of Peter F. Meyer & Co.,
having purchased at their auction room

Peter F. Meyer happened to be the auc,
tioneer. l bought them for $1,500 each,
assuming the mortgages. I succeeded in
having the mortgages reduced each

penses of the sale, and had to borrow
money to do that

sessions here tomorrow.
