prisoner despite his uniform, marches
through the town in the center Of a
military guard, preceded by a regi-

size, are borne aloft before him as an
outward and visible emblem of the
vigilance of Britain IN guarding her
prime military treasure On arriving
at the gates. the guards salute the
martial strains strike up with =fedeu-
bled peal Of triumph. while the great
doors slowly swing to. and are solemn
y locked for the night Then right
about turn, and the procession marches
back to the convent to deposit the keys
in the governors keeping, conveying
by It's passage an assurance to the peo-
pie and garrison that they may rest in
peace. Once the gates are shut it were
easier for camel TO pass through the
eye Of a needle than for any unauthor-

Jules Lacori, Of Paris. at Chamber

The twenty=four hour clocks are al

Russia. and believe that their official
sanction in our country will lead TO the
adoption OF the system on French rail-
roads. which would surely lead to the
extension IF the plan throughout Italy,
Switzerland and Spain. should think,
considering the manifest merits of the
new way, the railways of the United
States. which are the most progressive
in the world. would soon take it up and
have done with the ancient system, so
confusing and misleading through the
enforced use of a. N. and P. N. The
twenty-four hour clock system is an
ideal one for the railways, absolutely
preventing all danger through the dup
lieation Of hours for day and night. It
is the coming system. and I look to
see It in operation in America in the
near future. Washington Post

MANY JUVENILE OFFENDERS
Recorder Stanton Says They
Should Go to School.

Within the past week Recorder Stanl
ton, of Hoboken, has had an unusually
large number of juvenile prisoners before
him on various charges. The youthful
prisoners are between ten and fifteen
years of age. Four of them are now
serving time in the County Jail
"It'sr a pity said the Recorder, this
morning, when three more boys were ar
raigned before him, that the parents of
thest youngsters do not compel them to
go to school,"
The boys said they were John McGrath,
eleven years DID, of No. 597 Grove street;
John Ryan, thirteen years old, of Fif-
teenth street, and Frank Durnan, eleven
years old, of No. COL Grove street, this
city. They were caught while trying to
run off with $1.6C worth of boys under
wear from dry goods store kept by Max
Huesch, at No. ALI First street.
The Durnan boy, who was the only
one of the three who wore shoes, said that
his father was a policeman in this city.
He admitted. having been arrested two
years ago. He said he had a quarrel with
his school teacher and had not been to
school since last September
The prisoners said that two boys whom
they called buns" had stolen the prop
erty and handed it to them. They were
remanded for further examination.

Old MOTHER DESERTED.
Mrs Campbell Asks Chief
Murphy to Locate Her
Son.

Mrs Margaret Campbell formerly of
No. $50 First avenue New. York City
called on Chief Murphy yesterday and
asked his assistance in her effort to find
her son John, who deserted her about sig
weeks ago and let her to live as best she
could. She is seventy years old and
feeble. She is also homeless as her land
lord put her out of her only home, which
was one small room, because she could
not pay the rent
Chief Murphy again showed his kind
ness to the worthy needy by arranging
for her to live at ST. Jeseph's Home until
the missing son is located and his duty
pointed out to him.
Mrs. CampbeHs story to the Chief was
sad one. She said that her son mar
ried Easter Sunday and went to house.
keeping, though he continued to support
his mother for time. Then he arranged
for her to live in furnished room and
paid the rent. She was obliged, she said,
to make her own living. About six weeks
ago her son moved from the home his
mother knew of and she failed to locate
him. He did not pay her room rent when
1t was due and few days ago the land
lordput her out.
Mrs. Campbell believes her son is in this
city, btcause he married girl named
Murphy. Mrs. Campbell knows nothing
more of her daughter-in-law. The police
will seek the son and a try to induce him
to support his mother.

BAD TROLLEY ACCIDENT.
MIR. Ehrhardt Thrown From
His Wagon-Possibly Fa-
tally Hurt.

A trolley accident that may prove fatal
occurred at Garfield avenue and Grand
street about five o'clock last evening. An
east-bound Newark car, Mo. 31S, struck
the wagon of butcher M. C. Ehrhardt, of
No. 175 Old Bergen Road, Greenville,
throwing him heavily to the pavement
Ehrhardt was driving when the accident
happened. He was picked up by the
motorman and conductor and carried to a
hallway.
DR.. Lampson of Greenville happened to
be near when the accident took place. He
examined the injured man and found a,
confusion of the back, a deep cut on the
forehead and scalp wound. The doctor
fears that Ehrhardt is also injured in
ternally. He had two hemorrhages late
last night. He was unconscious all night
and this morning.
The doctor administered what stimulants
he could at the time. Ehrhardt was re-
moved to his home in the ambulance. The
doctor hopes to save his life, but he is in
a preearious condition.
NO one seems to know just how the ac-
cident occurred Some are of the opinion
that the car got away from the motor
man coming down the short hill on Grand
street. No arrests were made. The wagon
was not damaged much.

N|NTH'S IMPROVEMENTS
Committee Of Democratic
Club Has Big Plans.

The Improvement Committee of the
Ninth Ward Democratic Club, besides it's
political work is mapping out a thorough
system of proposed Improvements for the
ward and especially the West Side. Credit
is due the club for it's efforts to pro-
mote public improvements. Many good
results came from the work of this COM
mittee.
Just at present tbs committee is deep
ly interested in a project to develop the
entire west side and to make use of the
Hackensack River front. The first step
is for the extension of Duncan avenue to
the water. Then when this is accom-
plished, the committee will urge the city
to build wharves along the waterway at
the end of streets leading to the river
Some contend that the protest is not
practicable. Their contention is based on
the argument that the wharves would be
too remote from the city proper and too
far away from any business section that
could possibly be benefited by shipment
of goods to these wharves
Those who argue for the Improvement
hold that the distance is no bar to the
establishment of shipping trade, if the
approaches to the water front are such
that traffic can be facilitated. Well paved
streets are all that is necessary.
The distance from West Side avenue to
the water is about one mile. This is not
counted as drawback to shipping inter
ests on the Hackenaek River.
Those behind the project are working
industriously for the accomplishment of
this plan. Opening up the streets leading
to the river and the building of wharves.
would tend to enhance the value of
property and promote business in that
section.
The committee went before the Street
and Water Board a few days ago to ad-
vocate these improvements The results
were encouraging. The Board gave the
members to understand that the matter
would be looked into and action taken.

GUTTER BANDS A NUISANCE.
Hoboken Common Council Takes
Steps to Suppress Them.

Mayor Fagan's recommendation for the
appointment of Anthony Capeli as Police
Commissioner was not brought up at the
meeting of the Hoboken Common Council
yesterday afternoon. 1t had been rumored
that the Council would confirm the ap-
pointment at yesterdays meeting, but it
was not even mentioned. The appoint
ment was tabled month ago, until Ca
pelli's position could be understood.
August NJ. Bruggemann, real estate
deal in Newark street, made a complaint
to the Council about the noise of the
German street bands in the vicinity of his
place of business. He said tn Ut there was
band in the street almost continually
and the noise was annoying to business
men. The complaint was referred to the
Board of Health
Mayor Fagan returned the claims of
Antonio Padavono for $3.50 for street
cleaning, and Charles Hvass for s475 for
two two-horse street sweepers The bills
were passed by a solid vote over the
Mayors veto.
communication was received from the
Board of Health protesting against the
tidal sewers in the upper section of the
city. 1t is said that the sewers do not
drain the meadows properly and are a
menace to health.
An ordinance was introduced and passed
first reading, providing that beer bottlers
shall procure license at an annual fee of
$50. Heretofore bottlers in the city have
not been licensed.

man who was most ambitious and po-

and reliable. He was an all around ath-

His strength and fearlessness led the
Chief to assign the young man to the
First precinct and there he was given
duties to perform that demanded such a
man. He was sent to preserve the peace
