YES, A NEW TRIAL.
But the Jury, Mrs. Schumann
Says, Was a Second
Edition of the First.


The troubles that have been brewing
for some time in the Hoboken branch OF.
the Ladies Auxiliary of the Order OF
Railway Trainmen broke out again last.
night when Mrs Phoebe Schumann, of
No. IS Garden street. made an attempt
to be reinstated as a member of the order.
The story of Mrs. Schumann's troubles
was told in The News some weeks ago,
when she was expelled from the order on
a charge of having circulated certain ru-
mors about Mrs. Harris. mistress of the
Hoboken lodge.
After the expulsion, Mrs Sehumann
claims that she was not given a fair trial.
because the jury was empanelled by her
accuser. Mrs. Harris. The. case afforded
some amusement at the time because all
the women on the jury were also WIKI
nesses against the defendant,
Mrs Schumann since appealed TO the
grand mistress of the order, some WheF-s
ont in Indiana, and the grand mistress
commanded Mrs Harris to give Mrs,
Sehumann new trial. This was done
last night with the result taht Mrs. Schu
mann was expelled a second time.
Mrs Schumann- still claims that she
was not fairly tried She declares that
the second jury was as bad as the 1irst
one.

ASSESSMENTS RAISED.
City Tax Board Meets.
Valuation Of State
Assessors.

The State Tax Board, which met IN tfso
city yesterday afternoon, refused to open
the decision handed down by it in the res
ductfon Of the assessment of the Cont
mental Tobacco Co. The company was or
iginasly assessed at about $250,000 or per-
sonal property. The company claimed the
assessment was unjust as it only pes
sessed about 81 900 worth of personal prop
erty This case was heard and decided o2
July 16. The Board, two members being
present, Commissioners Lentz and Thomp-
son, voting to reduce the assessment 10
81, 900.
Upon the refusal to reopen the decision
in this case the city Tax Board directed
Corporation Attorney John Wahl Queen
to prepare a petition to increase the as
sessed valuation of the personal property
of the p Lorillard Co. s25o.ooo, which
would make its new valuation $3.50 600,
it having been assessed all along at
500 900. The P. Lorillard Company has
practically admitted that it owns the
$3.50, 900 worth of tobacco that escaped
taxation.
In view of the fact that the city's law
department was severely criticized when
it was found that the S250.0o0 worth OF
tobacco escaped taxation, Corporation
Attorney Queen said at the meeting
that on the day when the State Tax
Board reduced the Continental Tobacco
Co.'S assessment, Corporation Counsel
McDermott and himself were in Trenton,
in attendance on the Supreme Court Mr..
Queen also said that he notified Judge
Puster to be present at the State Tax
Board meeting Judge Puster, he said,
told him that after his return from Tren-
ton he met Mr.. Clark before the meeting
and was told that there was no need OF
his being present. Mr.. Clark denied tnis
and said he did not meet MI PusIer IN IN
til after the meeting and he criticized Mr.
Puster for not being present.
Major Carl Lefltz took occasion to say
that he always looked upon Mr.. Queen
as a most efficient and faithful official
and he believed the people OF Jersey City
did the same. AS to Mr.. McDermott he
might be of importance TO himself and
possibly to the city, but outside Of that
he (Lentz) had nothing to say. Address
ing Mr.. Queen he said d:-"fo GU have rep
resented the city as ably as Mr. McDer-
mott ever dared to.
Commissioner West made the stand lor
the city IN directing City Attorney Queen
to prepare a petition to show why the
S25O.006 worth of tobacco should not be IN
cluded in the assessed valuation OIL the

FRIENDS QUEER STORY
Police Scented a Mystery
But 1t Petered
Out.

The police of the Second Precinct were
notified yesterday morning that there was
something wrong in the house at No. S66
Fifth street. The reserve squad was sent
there to investigate. When the men ar
rived they were met at the door by Mrs.
Mary McNally, who informed them that
her old friend and benefactor, Mrs. Annie
Hartman, was dead in the kitchen.
Making his way to the kitchen. officer
Buckbee came upon the dead body in
eaten away by rats and there was a
great gap in the left breast that pene-
trated to the heart. To all appearance
the woman had been dead for weeks The
officers were startled by the announce
ment from Mrs. McNally that she had
only the night before given to Mrs. Hart
man q glass of water at the latter's re-
quest
The announcement under the circum
stances was most startling one and the
officers communicated with their station
house for instructions. Captain Kelly,
who was at the station house, told the
men to arrest Mrs. McNally and they
dia so. Mrs McNally repeated her state
ment that she had given the woman water
the night before.
Captain Kelly sent Detective William
Prescott to make a further investigation
into the case. The detective learned
enough to warrant him in believing that
the woman was weak minded Mrs. Nc
Nally was then held that an examination
mignt be made as to her sanity. This
morning she was arraigned before Police
Justice Hoos in the First Criminal Court
and at Captain Kelly's request was
paroled in his custody. It IS evident that
Mrs. Hartman, who was seventy years
old, had died some days ago of old age.
The body was brought to Speer's morgue,
where it awaits a claimant.
A search of the lead woman's effects
led to the discovery that She had small
amount of mercy in a savings bank. 1t is
also believed that she has nephew some
where and the police are now making an
effors to locate him.
Mrs McNally has been known about the
neighborhood for years and she mas al
ways been looked upon as an eccentric
character. For several years she has been
boarding with Mrs. Hartman, paying her
about by day. No one in the vicinity
could be found who could say that size
had been about the neighborhood for some
days. 1t is thought that she received sew
era1 days employment somewhere and
that in her absence Mrs. Hartman died.

WILL PROTECT THE GIRLS
Chief Murphy Orders Cap
tains to Look Out
for Balls.

Captain John Cody, of the First pre-
cinct police station, is determined. as
told in 'The News last night, that here
after there will be no complaints from
mothers of young girls in his precinct
because the authorities do not prevent
girls of tender years from attending the
balls held by organizations of tough"
young men. Several days ago Chief Mur-
ply informed the captains of the various
precincts that hereafter they would be
held to a strict accounting for all balls
held in their respective bailiwicks at
which young girls were allowed to con-
gregate without proper escorts. Here
after whenever a bill is held the captain
Of fhe precinct will have to make it his
business to attend and if there are pres
sent any girls under the age of sixteen
years they viii have to show that they
are accompanied by respectable young
men or go home. Should any of the girls
refuse to comply with the new order Of
things and insist on continuing the
amusement in the face of the captains
orders she will be taken to the nearest
station and held there until such time
as some one in authority over her calls
for her.
Chief Murphy said to a News" re-
porter yesterday For some months we
have been receiving from mothers numer-
Gus complaints about the Inducements
held out to their daughters to attend
those balls commonly known as tough.
We have come into possession of evidence
that girls under the age of sixteen are
enticed to these balls by young men who
are of the calibre of that class in New
York City known as Cadets We are
determined that no such methods will
be allowed in this city if the police can
help it. The Grand Jury the other day
indicted man named DeMotto for a
heinous offense, and the girls that testi-
fed against him told me that they could
all trace their downfall to their attend
ance at those Objectionable balls against
which we are now acting
