ELDOTT is ON DUTY.
That Seems to Mean That
Chief Murphy Thinks He
Was Not Drunk.

A conference was held at the office of
Chief of Police Murphy Saturday after
noon at which the charges made by the
Rev. A. M. Thompson, of the Westmin-
ster Presbyterian Church, that Policeman
Eldot was drunk while on duty at the
Sunday School parade last Thursday We're
discussed.
AT the conference were number of po-
licemen who were in the neighborhood Of
DR.. Thompson's Church at the time in
question ana several citizens. What was
done at the conference has not been made
public.
The Chief has decided that he will
bring the matter before the attention of
the Board of Police Commissioners at the
next meeting, to be held on June Is.
Until that time nothing will be said or
done by the department.
Those who were present at the confer
ence made statements of what they knew
of the matter and each statement was
put on record. The Chief decided that the
best way to bring the case before the
Board was to make a formal charge
against Patrolman Eldott. On this charge
Eldott will be tried by the Commission
ers, and at that trial all the evidence will
be made public. Eldott is still Ion duty
and will continue at his post until the
case is disposed of.
This is considered as showing that the
department does not place any credence
in the charges. If a positive case was
made out against Eldott he would be sus-
pended. This has not been done.

NOONAN and SIMPSON CASE
Justice Collins Says Charges
Are Not Proven.
HISTORY OF THE CASE
Accused of Trying to De-

Justice.
Especial to arhe Jersey city News."l


TRENTON, June II, leoO.-At the open
ing of the Supreme Court today the rule
directing Alexander Simpson and Joseph
NJ. Noonan, of Jersey City, to show cause
why they should not disbarred was dis
missed.
These Two lawyers in December. 1887,
were charged with conepiring for a
monetary consideration to secure the
release from the county jail of
Pole named Bosczkowski, who had
pleaded guilty to charge Oh
embezzlement and was in jail awaiting
sentence. 1t was charged that they en-
tered into negotiations with two men who
were supposed to be friends of Boscz-
kowski. but who were in reality Louis
j. Beck and Edward Pidgeon, two New
York men of shady reputation, who were
employed by the Evening Journal of
this city to enter into negotiations with
Simpson and Noonan. These men claim
ed that they paid Simpson and Noonan
a certain sum to secure Bosczkowskfs re-
lease Simpson was to move the
Court to allow Bosczkowsd to
change his plea on the ground that when
he pleaded guilty he was not represented
by counsel and did not know what he
was doing. Noonan. who was assistant
prosecutor at the time, and had charge of
the case, was not to object to allowing
the Pole to change his plea to not guilty
and then was to so manoeuvre the case
that the charge against him should be
dropped
rested upon charge of conspiracy upon
these statements, and were indicted, but
the jury that tried them disagreed. The
character of the two witnesses, Beck and
Pidgeon, upon whom the Evening Jour-
nal" relied entirely to prove their charges,
was such that the Prosecutor realized the
difficulty of obtaining a conviction on
their evidence, and had the indictments
nolle pressed
Pending the trial of the indictments
against Messrs. Noonan and Simpson, the
Hudson County Bar Association took the
matter up and took the necessary steps
to secure their disbarment. A rule to
show cause why they should not be dis
barred was isseud by the Supreme Court.
Testimony was taken before Master
in Chancery and the matter was argued
before the Supreme Court some time ago
and the decision handed down today. The
Courts position is summed up in the
following paragraph from the opinion
'sWhere alleged misconduct involves a
criminal offense the Court will not dis
bar an attorney in advance of a convic-
tion unless the evidence is clear and
convincing The Court does not con-
slider this to be true in the Noonan-simp-
son case.

putting the representation of each state

it would operate to cut down the rep

that have passed laws for the dis

The Northern states would gain what
the Southern states would lose. The
justice of this plan will commend it.
self to fair-minded men, There is no
reason why any state in which more
than half of the voting population is
deprived of it's rights at the polls
should be entitled to an equal repre-
sentation with other states with as
large population in which all the
voters can go to the polls. Should a
reapportiOnmentb bill be enacted that
would fix the number of representa-
tives in congress according to the num-
Der of votes cast in each state, the
Solid South would receive a crushing
blow and one that it has richly de-
served. The Southern representatives
in congress will fight such a measure
to the last ditch, if it should be intro
duced. 1t would arouse sectional feel
ing to the most intense degree again
and may for this reason be considered
impolitic by the Republicans. At the
same time the new reapportlonment
will not be a fair one so long as it
gives the Southern states so much
larger a representation according to-
the votes cast as they are bound to
have if the ratio is made on the basis

BROKEN BRIC-A=BRAS

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, Off New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard arti-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent
better than other cementS for which similar
claims are made but great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr.
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
and other manufacturers do not use them, be-
ca use they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs So. Is pound,
and another 81 IS gallon, while a large share
OF the so-called cements and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than 16-cent glue.
dissolved in water or citric acid, and, in some
cases. altered slightly in color and odor by the
addition of cheap and useless materials
Majors Cement retails at Is cents and %
cents bottle, and when dealer tries to sell a
substitute you can depend upon IT that his
only object is to make a larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr.. Ma
jor's advertising, which now amounts to over
S., 600 month, throughout the country. Es-
tablished in 1876

Congressional ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

The increase in the population from
90, 622, 250 in 1890 to over 76, 900, 900
In 1900 necessitates the fixing of a
new ratio for the representation Of
each state in congress and in the cleo
toral college. The ratio in 1890 was
one representative to each 173, 9O1
people, which made the total member
ship of congress $50. This number is
already considered too large and it is
likely that the new ratio will be made
large enough SO that the membership
of the lower house of congress will
either not be increased or SO that there
will be but small gain. If the ratio
were fixed at 200, 900 there would be
an increase of Is members, which
would crowd the present hall in which
the representatives assemble, and it
may be thought desirable to make the
ratio even larger.
Another plan for keeping the num-
Der of representatives down without
making the ratio much larger would
be that of taking the number OF votes

ALTHOUGH Mr.. DAZZLE, our congress-

does not pay to spend time on the
stump ridiculing man who has given
so good an account of himself in con-
gress as has Mr. DAZZLE. The people
want workers in congress and MIR.
DAZZLE has proved himself to be that
kind of man, and the admirable work
he performed for his constituents in
his first term spoke louder for him
than all the oratory Mr.. Aylward was
able to muster. Mr.. Awkward told the
people that Mr.. Dahle did not write

not have used the pen, but it was his
dictation, and most happily expressed
his sentiments, and the people saw in
it what he was doing for them and they
admired him, and reelected him for
