pocKE1BooKs AND WATCHES SAVED
Police Arrest Four Young Pickpock-
cts as They Step OFF Ferryboat.

Four young men whom the police au-
thorities say are well known pickpockets
were arrested as they stepped from
Pennsylvania Railroad ferryboat yester-
day afternoon. They came here, they
said, ito see if the graft was easy" De-
tective Morris of the railroad service
knew the boys vocation and brought
them before Chief of Police Murphy. This
morning Detectives Charles Stransky and
Michael McDonough of Police Headquar-
ters. New York, arrived and said the
boys were thieves who have given the
police of the metropolis a great deal of
trouble. They are:-Louis Weinsten. %
years old, of No. 81 Attorney street;
Samuel Solomon, Is years old, of No. 215
Rivington street; Abraham Berkowitz. IA
Joseph Goldenberger, II years old, of No.
81 Attorney street, all of New York City.
Police Justice Hoos held them for fur
ther examination this morning in the
First Criminal Court. The boys say tiasy
and others make their headquarters about
the house in Attorney street and there
they are taught the art of pocket pick
ing. Weinsten is the leader of the gang
Because of the vigilance of the New York
authorities the profession has been un-
profitable in that city and they have to
resort to the suburban cities and towns
This city came in for consideration and
they arrived as stated above, but the To-
cal authorities are always prepared to
receive this class and they practically en-
tered the city as prisoners.

PIONEER vERElN MEETS.
Reports Show the Organization to Be
In an Excellent Condition.

The German Pioneer Verein held very
interesting meeting last night. Among
the prominent members present were
Sheriff Ruempler, Finance Commissioner
Jacob Ringle. ex-Assemblyman A. j. Dit
mar, ex-Alderman Charles Stellman, AS
sistant City Attorney Henry Puster, Jo-
seph Schellenberger, Anton Reuter-, Jo-
seph Graft Justice of the Peace Prelwitz
Louis Fink, Valentine Puster, superin-
tendent of the Pioneer Home; j. H. Cluss-
man, T. Fishlein, Charles Behrens and
DR.. F. E. Lambert, physician of the
home.
Application to enter the home was re-
ceived from Charles Borggoetz, sixty-six
years old The application will be acted
upon at the next meeting. An applica-
tion to enter the home was also received
from John Plock, eighty-one years old,
of New York City. This application was
acted upon favorably. 1t is not custom
ary to take inmates from outside the
county, but Mr. Ploek decided he would
rather enter small home like that of
the Raymond-Roth Home than that of
the German Pioneer verein's big home
in New York. His friends will pay hand
somely for his entrance to the Raymond
Roth Home.
Mrs. Joseph Wetzel, of No. II Hancock
avenue, made application for aid in get
ting death benefit of $3.50 due her from
the Union Hill Branch of the Universal
Workingmen's Sick and Death Benefit
Association. of which her husband, who
recently died, was a member. For some
reason which the branch refuses to dis
close it refuses to pay the money. She is
too poor to employ counsel. Secretary
Fink was instructed to aid her.
]. Prelwitz, chairman of the labor
bureau, reported that during the month
of October sixteen persons had been as
sisted. DR.. Lambert, physician of the
home, reported that all the inmates were
in good health.

CALL FOR JUSTICE
Crowds Gather About Pat
erson Court House to See
the Four Murderers.
THEIR ARRANGEMENT TODAY
Sheriff Has a Guard to Pre-
vent Violence to His
Prisoners.

Especial to ssThe Jersey City News."1
PATTERSON, Nov. 16, 19O0.-In anticipa-
tion of the arraignment sof the four men
who are accused of the murder of Jennie
Bosschieter, an immense throng of men
and women gathered early today in front
Of the County Jail to catch glimpse of
the prisoners.
The unhappy quartette of offenders are
Walter McAlister, Andrew Campbell, Will
liam Death and George Kerr.
The case will be before Justice Jonathan
Dixon in the County Court House and the
men in order to get there will have to
walk about 200 feet through the street.
In order to prevent any outbreak on the
part of the crowd the Sheriff has fifteen
deputies ON guard.
Many of those in the street came from
the $3.50 o'clock service at the German
Catholic Church across the street from
the Jail.
Mutterings of indignation were heard
among the men and women.
1T was an outrage" said man, and
half dozen others cried: you're right!'
Justice must be DONE" exclaimed a
young woman. I'D like to be on the
jury
AS the time for the arraignment of the
men drew near the crowd grew larger,
and it was feared that an attempt would
be made to offer the prisoners violence.

that if necessary he would go to the
courts for an adjudication.
One of the Sheriff's close friends is re-
sponsible for the statement that IL the
Freeholders insist upon taking the custody
of the jail, Mr. Virtue will attack the
validity of the act of 1900. There is a con-
stitutional provision which prohibits the
Legislature from passing any private, To-
cal or special law which would have the
effect of creating, increasing or decreas-
ing the percentage or allowances of public
officers during the term for which said
officers We're elected or appointed"
1t is contended, SO it is said, that the
custody of the jail adds to the Sheriff $
allowances, but whether the act OF 1900
would be considered as special legislation,
within the meaning of the Constitution.
is question which the courts would have
to answer An attack on the constitu-
tionality of any section of a law would
not, if sustained, necessarily affect the
whole act, if the provision held to be un-
constitutional could be eliminated with
out interfering with the other provisions
of the statute.
