LULU GARDNER in COURT AGAIN
This Time She Tried Film F1am
Game on a Chinese Lsundrvmau

Lulu Gardner, the fourteen-year-old ac-
robat who has gained much notoriety of
late because of the number of times she
has appeared in the police courts, the
variety and seriousness of the charges
and her unusual intelligence for such a
young girl, appeared in the First Grim
inal Court before Justice Hoos again
this morning, to answer a charge of be-
ing disorderly person. The charge in
no way explains the details of the events
which landed her in the police net Ac-
cording to the stories told by the police
and the complainant Lulu has adopted
novel plan of flim-flam. Hop Sing, a
Chinese laundryman of Jersey avenue
and Sixth street, said that Lulu called
at his place of business this morning and
demanded her laundry. She had no
ticket and offered the laundryman de-
scription of her goods and twenty-five
cents in payment. The goods could not
be found and Hop Sing said $50 The
girl made a scene. Loud talk and much
indignity on her part was followed by
her crying for police. To the policeman
who answered her call Lulu said she had
given the Chinaman a one dollar bill.
Explanations on both sides led the Off
Ger to arrest the girl. She persisted that
her story was true. Lulu's mother said
she gave the girl a quarter. Lulu said
first her mother gave her dollar. Later
she said she received the money from
her father. There was not sufficient evil
dence before the Court to hold the girl
and she was discharged.
Lulu Gardner is the adopted daughter
of Frank A Gardner, an old time well
known circus manager The child was
found in South America and was carried
around the world as a member of the
troupe. She was taught to perform on
the trapeze when she reached an age
that permitted her to take up the work
When she was only eight years old a
young man Joined the circus and trav-
elled about with it. When the Gard
ners came to this country the young man
followed. He was later arrested for an
noying the girl for whom he confessed
his love. He was discharged.
A month after Lulu was arrested on
three charges. She was said to be disso-
lutte, common beggar and petit thief.
She served ten days in the County Jail
on the second charge.

the Matter With the Drain.

DON'T Want
MUSIC.
Residents Of Bergen Square
Object to Open Air
Concerts.
RIVAL PETITIONS AROUND
Majority of the People ir
That Neighborhood Ask
for the Band.
RIVAL PETITIONS AROUND

The residents of the Bergen section in
the vicinity of Bergen Square are not
very fond of music. They showed this
when the public concert was given by
Holden's band a few weeks ago The
day after the concert petition was cir
culated and signed by nearly a hundred
residents in the neighborhod of the
square asking that Chief of Police Muir
ply use his authority and have the con-
certs stopped Their reasons were various
but the principal one was that the crowd
attending made too much noise and
destroyed property by tramping upon
lawns and flower bed
The next concert given in the Bergen
section was given at the Ninth Ward
Democratic Club house, Fairmount ave-
nue. and the Boulevard. The lovers of
music turned out in force and showed
that they were largely in the majority.
The. universal opinion though was that
Bergen Square was more adapted
for the. concert as fits four sides afforded
such excellent opportunities for proman-
aiding, while the band seated in the
center could be heard by all The BouIe-
ward was the only promenade at the last
concert and the result was the crowd
congested at the corner of the clubhouse.
The police detail under Captain Cox were
forced to use their sternest tactics to keen
the crowd on the move. The result was
that the authorities became convinced
that that point was not the place for a
concert
There IS no other place in that section
now where a concert could be held, at
present, and so as a result of the peti-
tion from few residents who did not
like the music. the vast number who did
will either have to journey to other parts
of the city or else do without music. This
fact has occasioned much adverse crit
icism of the disgrunted few and it is said
that counter petition, which will be i'm
mediately put in circulation and which
will bear probably the names of over a
thousand persons, will ask that
another concert be given at Bergen
square. They contend that as the season
is nearly over one more concert at the
square will do no harm. One of the
originators of the idea said this snorn-
ing
It's only few of what might properly
De called chronic kickers Who have been
the cause of having the music stopred.
They study and worship their ownlwhins
and fancies and care nothingsser.thefe feel
ings OF others. If ourswivessor children
want to take advantageSof the free con-
cert what must they do? fwhylthey have
to go to the other end of the city, Either
down to Van Worst Park or out tcsGreen-
Vile think our petition will be favor
ably received and that we will have the
band at the square again before the sea-
son closes"

CHANCERY COURT CHANGES.
Coursroo1ns May Be Removed Owing
to Roar OF Traffic.

1t is rumored among the lawyers that
when the Chancery Chambers resumes its
work there will be some changes SO far as
Jersey City is concerned. 1t is proposed
TO get another place in which to hold
court. Vice CHANCELLOR Pitney has re-
peatedly complained that it was difficult
to hear witnesses owing to the rattle of
the traffic on Exchange place. Some build
ing off the main street is being considered
The Same difficulty is experienced in the
Court House on the Hill, and the Street
and Water Board are preparing to have
Newark avenue opposite the Court House
asphalted. If asphalt were laid in Ex-

HOBOKEN KICKS.
Her Officials Say She L
Bigger, Than the Official
Figures Show.

Whether the census enumerators had
the names of all residents of Hoboken on
their lists when the population of the
city for 1900 was made up is a question
that is doubted very much by Hoboken-
ties. Not one official in the city is con-
vinced that the population of 5s,364 allot-
ted to Hoboken by Director Merriam of
the census bureau is correct. According
to their calculations this figure is not only
a couple of thousand but even more than
five thousand less than it really ought to
be- Mayor Pagan believes that the popu-
lation of the city should be at least 65, 900.
DIR. Samuel A. Helfer. President of the
Board of Health, makes higher estimate
of $4,000, and says he will wager that it
is not 1900 less than that figure. Others
interested in the welfare of Hoboken esti-
mate its population at various figures
ranging between 10000 and 10000.
The recent census shows an increase of
15,716 over 1890 In the latter year the
government estimated the population at
4564S. 1t was disputed at the time and
the Board of Police Commissioners had
another census taken by the local police.
The canvas made by the police showed
the population to be 4S026, or 4,37S more
than the government figures. The fact
that there was an apparent blunder In the
census of 1890 strengthens the belief
among the residents that mistake has
been made by the government this year,
and 1t is probable that at the next meet
ing Of the local police board another cen
sus will be ordered taken for municipal
purposes
The population of the city in 1895 was
54,0Ss. There were 11,50S families, includ-
ing s3,5S1 whites, native born; 66 colored,
4,091 Irish born. 11,247 German born, and
5,09S of other nationalities.
According to the recent census the in
crease during the past five years has been
but 5,2S7 The local Board of Health now
figures the percentage of births and
deaths on the basis of 65.00o population.
