Who DID This !?

John Leon, a burglar, who was SEN
fenced by Judge Blair last week to two
years in State Prison, was brought into
court yesterday morning and the sentence
reconsidered. Somebody had told Leon
that if he pleaded guilty he would be let
off with a light sentence and would not
be sent to State Prison. This fact was
brought to Judge Blair's attention and
aroused his Indignation.
ST am informed" said the Judge, that
representations were made to you that
if you pleaded guilty the Court would
not send you to State Prison. No one
has any authority from the Court to
make any such representations, and 1
want that to be distinctly understood.
AS it appears, however, that you were
induced to plead guilty in consequence of
that representation, your sentence will be
reconsidered and the Court will now SEN
tence you to eighteen months in the PEN
itentiary'
Judge Blair refused this morning to tell
to whom he referred. Another official
said he thought it was some constable.
A rumor has it that it was an attache
of the Office of the Prosecutor of the
Pleas Another rumor is that Judge
Blair will, in the performance of his duty
present the matter to the Grand Jury.

Mr. McDernott replied that the Re

tanned by the people The argument lost

DID SMITH WRITE IT?
Gen. Wanser Says He
Doesn't See Any Reason
For the Alleged Letter.

Some information relative to the recent
elections held in the Fourth Regiment,
National Guard, which caused some Off
GERS of the regiment now in the volunteer
army to object most strenuously, has just
leaked out. The elections, at which some
officers who remained at home were
Jumped" over the heads of those in
camp, caused any amount of dissension
at the time when they were held. The
objecting Volunteers claimed that the
elections should have been postponed until
they arrived home.
This move of the Volunteers naturally
made the officers OF the guard talk. They
said, as told in The News" that cleo
the affairs of the regiment, also that ever
II the officers in the volunteer regiment
were were at home the jumping process
Volunteers say is hardly probable.
When Colonel Robert G. Smith and As
sistant Surgeon John ]. Broderick visited
tne camp last week, it is said that the
Colonel showed an official letter which he
had directed TO Division l Headquarters,
requesting that all vacances existing in
the companies in the Fourth Regiment
be left untitled until the Volunteer Fourth
arrived home, or else that arrangements
be made to allow men in service to vote,
if elections must be held.
1t was said that the letter neyr got be-
yond General p. F. Wanser commanding
was said, disapproved.
General Wanser was asked yesterday af-
ternoon by News reporter, If such q
Letter had been sent to his department.
IF it was never saw it, he said. 1T
was entirely unnecessary to send such a
letter. My department does not control
company elections such as captains ana
lieutenants, therefore it can be seen that
the letter was wholly out of place. Only
captains and lieutenants were elected,
understand.
If the latter elections were to take place.
1, or a member of my staff would pre-
side.
My department controls the election
of field officers. and some were elected
'As the elections held have no bearing
on the affairs of my department., the
letter, if there ever was such a one,
should never have been sent by Colonel
Smith. He controlled the elections that
have taken place and were called by
him.
However, I do not believe that Colonel
Smith would do such a childish thing as
to exhibit an official letter Id camp. If
such a letter was sent to my depart-
ment it shows that the sender is not
familiar with the rules of the regiment"
Colonel Smith could not be seen today
regarding the alleged letter.

BAYONNE DEMOCRATIC.
No Chance For Republicans
In That City--G. 0. P.
Demoralized.

Republican primaries were held in Bay
onne last evening. They were in the main
very tame affairs without contest. The
party is badly demoralized, and it had
hard work in some of the wards to get
candidates.
In the First ward there was no oppos-
ton to the machine ticket Only "a votes
were polled. No prominent Republican
would take the nomination for School
Trustee, and the ballot was a blank as far
as that Office was concerned. President
Stillwell, Of the Board of Education, the
Democratic incumbent of the office, will
be reelected by HANDSOME majority.
William j. Tomlin was nominated to make
the hopeless run against Stillwell. and
George w. Conklin, hardware merchant
was nominated for Councilman.
In the Second ward, after long search
for a victim to run against Charles Nc
Quilian, the present Democratic Council-
man, Robert Scott, who Is comparatively
unknown, was chosen. william T. Eddy
was renominated fer School Trustee.
The Fifth ward is hopelessly Democratic
and the G. Q. P. endorsed James Smith,
disgruntled Democrat whom the City
Democratic Committee refused to place on
its primary ticket last year. Christian
Richert, Jr., was named as School TruS-
tee.
;, In the Third ward. the only sure Repub-
llcdI WARD OIL the CITY, councilman Ed
ward E. stinson and School Trustee A. K
Atwood were renominated
James J. Cooney for Councilman q.nd
William Hogan for School Trustee are the
candidates in the rock-bound Democratic
Fourth Ward, where ex-Leader Jack"
Reilly is trying to beat the regular Demo-
Gratis. Republican nominations in the
Fourth are in the nature of comedy
farceS.
The Republican City Convention will be
held on Saturday evening Ex-Council-
man Richard A. Bridgenan will receive
the unopposed nomination for Recorder.
The friends of ex-Mayor William c.
Farr will try to capture the convention
for the nomination for Mayor and a lively
out out of total Of 90. Farr T has run in 1.-The the
past on Democratic, Republican and Citi-
zens' tickets and nobody knows what
color he is politically. Joseph H, Hanson
is the regular candidate.
Mayor Egbert Seymour. who is now
serving his second term, will be renom-
mated by his party and ii is a practical
impossibility to defeat him.
