WAR IN BREAD.
Mangels and Schmidt and
John Hill Cut
Rates.
LOCAL BAKERS AFFECTED.
Fight Between the Big Con
Germs is Good For the
Grocers Only.

A cut rate war between Mangels &
Schmitt and John Hill, bread bakers. of
Newark, has been waging for the past
Jersey City and Hoboken bread bakers
Bread is being sold to grocers by the
Newark concerns below cost, and to hold
local bakers to also cut rates, a proceed
ing which entails a daily loss. schultz,
the Brooklyn baker, is also affected, but
not to the extent of the smaller dealers.
Mangels & Schmitt is the oldest bread
baking firm in Newark. and at one time
1t controlled the industry in Newark and
the adjacent cities and towns. About six
months ago John Hill, who was a aforeman
for the concern for number of years,
decided to go into the bread business. lie
induced the majority of Mangels &
Schmitt' drivers of route wagons to enter
his employ. The result was that through
the influence of the drivers, Mangels q
Schmitt lost a great amount of trade The
firm remained inactive for some time,
while the business gradually grew
smaller
Realizing that heroic measures must be
adopted if 1t was to retain any part OF
the business, the firm decided to make
an effort to regain the trade by starting
a cut-rate war Agents were sent out to
visit all grocers and to offer to furnlsh
bread at reduced rate. 1t is also said
that a cash consideration figured in the
deals.
Through these means a great part OF
the trade was regained and held until
the John Hill Baking Company went 1t
one better by reducing the price stlll
lower. The grocers encouraged the war,
| and bought bread from the concern, SELL
| ing the cheapest. The retail price sun
remained the same, the consumer reap
| ing no benefits from the trade hight.
The fight between these concerns neces-
sarily affects all bakers doing business II
Newark and surrounding cities. Schultz
| of Brooklyn and Adam Turks of Newark
have lost money daily since the fight be
gan. while number of smaller concerns
have been forced temporarily to suspend
business.
John Martens of Communipaw avenue
who does big local business. stated
few days ago that he had lost large sun
/ daily for the past two months. He ha'
| been established for a number of year.
and he is compelled to cut rates to holt
/ his trade. Bakers in Eoboken. JERSEY
Ciey and Bayonne are similarly affected
| and if compromise is not soon mad
i they will be forced to the wall.
The Newark concerns show no signs o
abating hostilities. Mangel & Schmidt i

Corporation Counsel McDer-
mott Efectually Squelches
Mr.. Lebbeus B. Ward.
MAYOR HOOS'S ACTION UPHELD.
Act of 1895 Constitutional
Opinions to the Contrary
Notwithstanding

IN order that all doubts may be
removed as to the LEGALITY or the
election now s'within measurable dls-
tance," Corporation Counsel Allan /. NC
Dermott this morning furnished Mayor
Hoos with the following opinion
81 have to advise you that chapter Sso
of the laws of 1895 is entirely in accord
with the provisions of our State Constatu-
tion regulating legislation for the govern
u1ent of municipalities. Under the pro-
visions of that act it will be necessary for
YOU to submit, by proclamation to the
voters of Jersey City, the question OF
theN option given to the city to purchase
waterworks when completed, under the
contract entered into with Patrick Flynn,
on the 2Sth of February last"
This effectually answers a letter pub
lished in a local paper last night over the
name of Lebbeus B. Ward. who graciously
condescends to tighten the darkness OF
Jersey City people by telling them that
the act of 1895 was Unconstitutional, and
hence Mayor Hoos was dead wrong in
issuing a proclamation for a special cleo
tion.
There's lot of doubt about "Counseier-
at-Law'' Lebbeus B. Wards legal anowl-
edge, but there is none about his position
on the water question. Whenever tfat
topic comes uppermost in Jersey City,
Ecce Lebbeus 3. Ward. He doesn't believe
in the city owning it's plant. There should
be a State Water Commission appointed
TO take charge of watersheds and he
should be one of the commissioners, VOLTA
tout.
So far as Jersey City is concerned. Mr.
Wards opinion is naturally disinterested,
since he doesn't live in this city and is
not a taxpayer.

FERRY BOATS CRASH.
The New Jersey Smashes Into
Annex No. 4--No One
Injured.

The ferryboat New Jersey, of the Penn
sylvania road, crowded with passengers,
ran into the Pennsylvania Brooklyn An
mex No. 4, off Liberty street, New York,
during the fog this morning, and stove
in the woman's cabin as well as smashed
the Annex's guard. There was no one in
Jured but great deal of excitement en-
sued. The collision occurred shortly af-
ter sevenSb clock when the New Jersey
was on her way to the Cortlandt street
dock and the Annex was going to Jersey
City. The New Jersey was crowded with
passengers, including many women The
Annex was not crowded.
The Annex was somewhat out of ner
way on account of the fog. The captains
of the two boats saw that their boats
were nearing each other, but they aid not
think there would be any collision. When
1t was seen that the boats were drawing
closer, attempts were made by each to
turn aside, but it was too late. The New
Jerseys bow jammed- into the women S
forward cabin of the Annex. She stove
in the side, smashing windows and wood
work, and carrying away part of the
guard.
Few of the passengers of the New Jer-
sey saw the Annex before the collision.
Immediately there was the greatest ex-
citement when the collision was felt.
There were many persons standing in the
cabins and some Of them were thrown
down by the force of the collision, the
New Jersey coming almost to a stop. Sew
eral Of the more timid women tainted but
men rushed to their aid and they were
quickly relieved.
The Annex was put up at this city FOL
repairs The damage to the New Jersey
was slight.

MIS- USED HIS OFFICE.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Frightened Debtors When
Collecting Claims.

Sheriff Ruempler received a complaint
a~few days ago which made his Teutonlc
blood boil The complaint was to the
effect that some men who had been COM
missioned as Deputy Sheriffs We're mis-
using the office and using their titles LOT
the purpose of frightening debtors into
paying claims against them whether rignt
or wrong. In other words, it was alleged
that certain Deputy Sheriffs were in the
employ of collection agencies and using
the authority of the Sheriff's office 70
carry on their business.
The Sheriff determined to put stop to
it at once A specific complaint had been
lodged against one Robert Thomas. who
held a Deputy Sheriff's commission and
wore a badge. The Sheriff made inquiry
and found that Thomas had written a
threatening letter to William Edwards,
demanding the return of some household
goods. The letter closed with these
words:-
If the same are not delivered to her
in three days from date | Will lnieT
that you intend to cheat and defraud
her of same and shall lthen proceed
against you as law and justice direct
4signe0 snartts Robert o Hs,ss1n nHoeamsi eonSty
Attorney in fact for Mrs. M. Stella.
Sheriff Ruempler summoned Thomas to
his office and confronted him with the
letter. Thomas admitted that he had
written it, but begged for forgiveness and
promised that he would never do such
thing again.
"Tr take very good care that you won
do it again." remarked the Sheriff. Give
me your commission and badge"
Thomas handed them over and Sheriff
Ruempler tore the commission into small
pieces and threw them in the waste
basket. Thomas left the office erestfallen.
Sheriff Ruempler declared that similar
treatme will be accorded to any man
holding a Deputy Sheriff's commission
who abuses the office.

HARD WORK TO Do GOOD
Hoboken W. G. T. U. Finds
That The Small Boy
is Ungrateful.

A branch of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union opened a reading room
at No. 412 washington street, Hoboken, a
few weeks ago The women have since
experienced no end of trouble, which
eliminated in a charge of keeping dis
orderly house made against them to the
police. Small boys We're invited to come
in and digest good books. Things went
along swimmingly for awhile as the boys
behaved themselves like little gentlemen.
The youngsters finally got tired OF being
Model boys, and schemes were Matched
by the dozens for the purpose of annoy
ing the attendants. The accidental spill
ing of an ink pot, a rat running across
the floor and the finding of leaking
condensed milk can in the instructor S
overcoat pocket were few of the things
attributed to the youngsters. Each Right
saw a large crowd Of boys in the reading
room, apparently perusing the good books
| placed before them.
The first instructor was. subjected to
such annoyance that ne relinquished his
position second instructor replaced
him. This individual was less fortunate
than his predecessor.
Things were thrown about the room
books destroyed, chairs upset and divers
other forms of evil practiced that caused
the women to consider the advisability
of closing the room. To cap the climax
the lights were turned out one night and
there followed such a racket that half OF
Hoboken was thought to be falling to
pieces. Chairs, charts and other valuafbles
were hurled indiscriminately about the
room. Several Dresden vases and
statuettes were tumfbled from the mantle
of A. E. Berorio, who keeps a store be-
meath the reading room. This individual
suffered some loss on several occasions
and the instructor was forced to square
accounts.
Beranio, however, was not satisfied, and
he preferred charges against the Wom-
EMS Temperance Union to the police. The
police would not entertain complaint
of disorderly house against the women.
Patrolman Patrick Hayes came to the
instructors S assistance last night, when
| the young hoodlums attempted to again
destroy things. The boys were hustled
out of the building in hurry
| I'VE don't know what to do. said one
of the women, today, to a reporter OF
1.-The News II We don't like to leave
our work just when we are in the heart
| of 1t. but those boys are just awful. I'm
afraid we'll have to keep them out Of
| fhe reading room in the future. Unless
| something is done we'll have to close
Idown altogether.
