WOOD PLACATES THE RADICALS.
Explains the Real Intent of the Plat
Amendments.


A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
The so-called radical element in the Cuban
constitutional convention, including Seniors
Juan Gomez. Portuondo. Aleman and Man.
duly, held a conference today with Gov.
Gen. Wood regarding the Piatt amend
ment.
Gen. Wood said that the United States
government intended to deal justly and
honestly by the Cubans, and had no de-
sire to retain possession of the island. He
pointed out that the Platt amendment
was drawn up primarily with the view to
protecting a weak nation against out
siders as well as against internal strife,
and would not interfere with Cuban indie
pendence. He explained that the Washing
ton Interpretation of clause of the scheme
of relations was that the United States
claimed the right to intervene solely for
the purpose of preserving the independ-
ence Of the island, maintaining an adequate
force to protect life. property and individ-
ual liberty, and completing the obligations
imposed by the treaty Of Paris upon the
United States. He expressed the opinion
that. in drawing up treaty. many points
in the future relations OF Cuba with the
United States might be more clearly ex-
planned to meet present objections.
The delegates retired apparently pleas
ed with the interview. Senof~ Portuondo

suggestions When the regulations are
formulated and adopted the appointment of
a chief OF artillery win be named. and two
additional members of. the ordnance and
Notifications board appointed. Several
colonies Of artillery have indicated their
disinclination to serve as chief Of artillery,
as the selection carries with 1t no addf-
tional rank or pay, and every colonel is
now In command Of some post, a more
pleasant duty. it is said, than that of chief
of artillery, who is stationed in Washing

FACAN'S VIEWS.
Hoboken's Mayor Is OPP
posed to the Dismem-
berment Of Hudson
THE TOWNS ARE VALUABLE
And This County Made Them
So, and Should Have the
Profit He Says.


am Numerically opposed to the dis
memberment of Hudson County, now or
at any other time,' said Mayor Lawrence
Pagan of Hoboken. Apart from any
partisan view that 1 may entertain in the
matter my main objection to the annexa-
ton of Harrison and Kearny to Essex
lies in the fact that it would rob Hud-
son Of SO much taxable property that She
has made valuable. property that belongs
to her and to which Essex can establish
no right or claim. To my mind, every
resident of Hudson County who lays claim
to public spirit should entertain this view,
irrespective of his political faith 1t is
the view of the businessman, the citizen
There is politics in any scheme that pro-
poses to deprive Hudson or any other
county of property that has grown vaiu-
able while in that county. l, for one,
have confidence that the proposed steal
shall never be effected. Harrison and
Kearny, individually, could not be bene-s
fitted by going into Essex's domain. Both
have prospered in Hudson al a rate which
Essex cannot expect to increase on a
comparative basis, and even if she could
that would not alter the principle in
volved in the question. Let both counties
hoe their own rows as they have done in
the past. There is altogether too much
of this typographical jugglery in the air. :

BAD TIMES FOR THIEVES.
Heights Police Are Keeping Sharp
Watch for Them.

The police on the Heights are keeping
be no let up in vigilance. Officers now
make reports of the various vacant houses
in each precinct and the condition they
are found in. Every one of these unoccu-
pied houses is visited while the tenants
are away. In this manner the captains
are kept in touch with the true state of
affairs
OF late residents or storekeepers and In
some cases janitors of the churches have
been very careless in closing doors and
windows The doors in the Church of the
First Born, at Bramhall avenue and
Grand street, have been found open. Also
the chapel door OF the Bergen Baptist
Church and St. Johns Episcopal Church.
The basement doors and windows of a
hundred houses have been discovered wide
open by the police. In no case was a
theft reported. Negligence is plainly
shown in every instance. Chanceman

EVEN AFTER SIX MONTHS.
Men Arrested For Beating a Watch
man Last August.

On the night of November 6 last, John
w. olney, OF No. 245 Fairmount avenue,
a watchman employed by the West Shore
Railroad in the freight yard at Newark
avenue and Seventh street, was atrocious-
ly assaulted by three men who were at.
tempting to rob a freight car. He inter
rupted their efforts and he was set upon
His club was taken from him and he
was badly beaten with it, His revolver
was also taken from him and never re-
turned.
The thieves escaped then, but the police
set out to capture them. It was learned
that the men had left town. A few days
ago William Cummings. of No. 272 Wayne
street, was arrested. The police suspect
ed he was engaged in the affffair OF last
August. Olney was brought to Police
Headquarters and he identified Cummings
as one of his assaiiants. Frank Luther,
of No. 257 Eighth street. who saw the
men running from the yards after the
assault, also identified Cummings
Investigation showed some cause to be-
lieve that Patrick Rountree, Of No. 129
Fremont street, and John Clifford, of NO.
1sl Twelfth street, were Cummings COM

were arrested and this morning arraign-
ed before Police Justice Hoos, charged
with atrocious assault and battery JUS
tice Hoos considered that the evidence
against Rountree and Clifford was insult
ficient and they were discharged. Cum

RELIEF FROM SEWERAGE
New Pipe Lines Are Hailed
With Delight by
Heights People.

One of the most extensive sewer con-
tracts performed in Jersey City as
in progress at present. Contractors Con-
molly and Van Keuren are engaged in
the work. The plan is to construct a
relief sewer for big part of the Hill
section. OF recent years the small sewer
in Fairmount avenue, which carried off
the drainage from the side streets and
sub-sewers. has been too small The re-
suit of this was that the residents along
sected, were subjected to perpetual an
noyance from the overflow.
No longer will the sewage cause them
discomfort. A new sewer has been built
from Clifton place to Grand street ade-
quate to the demands of the Hill Sec
ton. This sewer will be continued on
down Grand street to the old Mil Creek,
at Pacific avenue and Grand street
In constructing the Grand street sewer,
seventy-two inch steel pipe is to be used.
These huge steel pipes are now being
distributed along the line of the proposed
work. The pipes are a half-inch in
thickness. Brick work will be construct
ed at intervals along the line of the sewer
Cast-iron pipes are also to be used. These
pipes will be lined with concrete and
they are calculated to stand for years
against the effects of the sewage water
Several years ago the same sized pipes
were used in building a sewer to replace
the old Mill Creek. These are considered
the largest pipes used in the city. The
work will the hurried along. The contrac-
tors will not allow the cold weather to in
terfere with the work. A heavy fall of
snow will alone prevent the consumma-
tion of the work before spring. The out
let of the sewer is the New York Bay
Much relief will be afforded the resi-
dents of that particular section of the
Heights. The work involves a big outlay
of money. This contract is considered of
much Importance as it affects a big per
centage of the population

FATHER FURGURSON GOES
First Assistant of St. Paul's
Church Is Removed.

The Rev. Father Furgerson, who has
been the first assistant at st. Paups
Church for the last four years. was re.
moved on Friday from st. Paul's parish
and sent to st. Johns parish, in Belize
vile, N. j. Vicar General O'Connor cause
ed the removal and the reasons given
were economy.
The members of St. Paups Club bade
farewell to him Friday night, but as
the notice was so sudden they did not
have time to make any preparations to
give him reception. He was notified on
Friday afternoon and he had to leave
Saturday morning. He will become the
assistant of Father Smith.
The young men of the parish were very
much attached to Father Furgerson and
they regretted to see him go. He has
just succeeded in bringing ST. Pauls
Catholic cub TO IT'S present prosperous
condition, and he is now compelled to
leave it.
Father Schultz will no doubt be elected
spiritual director of the club now. There
will be no other priest sent to assist
Father Schaecken, and there will be sim
ply Father Schaecken and Father Schultz
in the parish.

SLOT MACHINE RAIDS.
States Right to Destroy the
Property Questioned
in Court.

Has the State the right to destroy slot
machines taken in raids made without the
preliminary of complaint? This inter-
esting question was partly argued before
Justice Collins this morning and was re-
ferred by him to the Supreme Court for
review. On the decision will rest the
question of the destruction of several
thousand dollars worth of the machines
now stored at the Court House which
We're taen in the raid of the Prosecutors 5
officers on the factory of the Mills Now
city Company in Hoboken and in the raid
of Chief of Police Murphy on the sales
room of George w. sBeacher in the Wei
don building The decision will be on the
Beacher case. in which the preliminary
argument was heard this morning.
ASsemblyman Leon Albeit represented
Mr.. Beacher at this mornings proceed
ings and City Attorney John Wahl Queen
appeared for Chief Murphy Mr.. Abbett
stated that the machines were raided un-
der Section 16S of the Act which relates
to the Courts jurisdiction in criminal
cases.
The section reads -ssWhenever furniture
or implements used for gambling purposes
are seized or captured" they must be de-
stroyed and 1t would be unlawful to re-
turn the same.
Mr.. Albeit argued that the statute was
unconstitutional in that it conf1icted with
the provisions of the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, which
provides that no person shall be deprived
of his property without due process of
law. This was his main point, although
he raised several other technical objec-
tions and also claimed that the statute
confiicted with the State Constitution
Justice Collins pointed out that another
question might be raised because the act
did not state whether or not a complaint
was necessary as a preliminary to the
seizure.
Mr.. Albeit said he would incorporate
this point in his demurrer, and Justice
Collins certified the case to the Supreme
Court
