Birkbeck Company is Suing the
McDon Ids.

A suit of the Birkbeck Investment Saw
ings and Loan Company against Mary
7. Mcdonald and her husband, Terence
j., the former Assemblyman,s to recover
a deficiency of s2.16O.22 on judgment,
was heard by Supreme Court Justice Lip

est and Sheriffs fees increased the
amount to So. .62022.
Some Of the property owned by the
defendants in Bayonne was sold by the
Sheriff in March last and was bid In by
George Helm, a representative of the
plaintiff, for 81, 500 That was the only
bid received. The facts as presented this
morning by Hayes and Lambert, counsel
for the plaintiff were not disputed, but
ex-Judge Hudspeth, who appeared for the
defendants, asked for more time.
He said he understood that the bid of
Mr. Helm was made under some arr
rangement with one of the defendants,
who expected to be able to redeem the
property It was understood that only
one bid would be put in and that at a
low figure in order to keep down the Sher-
IFS fees. If that was the case the de-
PENDANTS would not be entitled to recover
the deficiency asked for. Justice Lippin-
cott adjourned the hearing until next
Saturday.

TO DECIDE SAUERLAND'S CASE
Justice Potts Takes Till Monday to
Consider

The case against Anton Sauerland, ac-
cused of violating a city ordinance in
attempting to erect storm doors In front
of his place of business, at Fourth and
Erie streets, was continued before Police
Justice Potts in the Second Criminal
Court this morning. Justice Potts was
unable to render a decision and said he
will announce it Monday.
Sauerland leased the property from Geo.
Williamson. He spent money on the
property and fitted up saloon with a
marble step in front of the saloon en-
trance on Erie street.
He applied for license to run a sa-
loon, and deposited money for it, He
was given a certificate by the Excise
Committee of the Board of Aldermen to
sell liquor until the Board of Aldermen
passed upon his application.
Meanwhile a rernonstrance against his
opening up saloon in that residential
district was circulated, and the Board
of Aldermen failed to act on the applica-
ton The police arrested Sauerland for
selling without a license and the case is
still pending.
He began to erect storm doors in front
of the entrance to his saloon, acting un-
der a permit from the Street and Water
Board. The police claim the Street and
Water Board has no power to issue such
permit, and that the storm doors block

STEALING RIPARIAN LAND.
Secretary Payne Finds True
the Complaint Against
Ocean City.

Secretary William Payne of the State
Riparian Commission, who is also Chief
Engineer of the Board, returned from
Ocean City this morning, where he has
been Investigating certain charges made
against the Ocean City Association re-
garding the illegal filing in of State
grounds. At the last meeting of the
Riparian Commission, Mr. T. s. Mitchell,
a wealthy jeweler of Philadelphia, who
owns a cottage at Ocean City, reported to
the Commission that the Ocean City As
sociation was filling in lands of the State
on the shore front and selling the build
ing lots for $3.50 piece. The land thus
conffscated is in Great Egg Harbor. The
riparian owners, said he. We're being
robbed of their rights.
Secretary Payne went to Ocean City and
found after some Investigation that the
statemen made by Mr.. Mitchell were only
too true The Ocean City Association
had filed in ten acres on the water front
and was preparing to fill in that much
more Secretary Payne stated that the
owners at Ocean City had just cause to
complain of the action taken by the As
sociation. These owners had obtained
grants from the State, to fill in up to high
water mark and to build walls along the
town water mark. Handsome residences
have ben erected on the filled in lots The
ocean city Association has been dump lI :
ing sand beyond the line granted TO the
owners, and has created new land: Almost
600 feet OF land has been filled in.
ezra b. Lake is in charge of the work
for the association, and Albert b. Skull
is running the filling in machine The
agreement was that Skull was to be paid
in lots aceording to the amount I1ta Of work Pb
more lots Skull would receive. All of
this newly created ground was under
water until the association got to work
In the absence of Mr.. Lake, Secretary
PAYNE was referred to Mr.. Skull; He

MAYBE FOUL PLAY
Hoboken Authorities Believe
They Have a Murder
Mystery.
BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER
Cash on the Skull Indicates
Cause Three Letters in
the Pockets.

The Hobeken authorities believe they
have a murder on their hands. The body
of man was found in the North River
this morning. The body was found float
ing near the Rotterdam pier at the foot
of Fifth street. 1t is that of man
about forty-five years old, Of good APP
which looks as if it might have been
made with round, blunt weapon, was
found on the Back of the skull.
An examination of the clothing revealed
among other things citizenship papers
made out to j. w. Taylor of Livingston,
Montana. The three letters were found in
the coat pocket. The addresses correspond
to the name on the citizenship papers.
One was signed 'Tom Taylor" another
ssYour loving niece, ANNIE and the third,
"Gense Gordon, Livingston, Mon. The
last referred to the sale of some cattle
and other business connected with a
ranch A pocket comb, one cent, a spool
of black thread and a 'Rapp's Commer-
cia1 Guide were also found on the
clothing.
The authorities base their theories OF
murder on the cash on the head.
The body will be kept at the morgue
subject to an examination by County
Physician Converse.
From the nature of the two other let
ters addressed to the dead man. 1t would
appear that he had recently made a trip
across the ocean. Being a rancher. the au-
thorities think Taylor had taken passage
on some cattle ship. The Phoenix line.
which has docks in Hoboken, carries cat
tie, and an investigation is being made
on the steamships of this line now in port.

for the reception of offers? Why from
the first have some of our city officials
been so anxious to get that site? Is 1t not
a fact that our city cannot stand the

we could easily wait at least a few years
