SEVERE PENAL TIES.
Judge Blair Sends Two Des-
perate Characters to
States Prison.

Two penalties of unusual severity were
imposed by Judge Blair in the Court of
General Sessions, Thursday afternoon.
Hans Won Esleman was sentenced to
State Prison for two years for obtain
ing money under false pretenses. Esle-
man mulcted the poor people of North
Hudson towns right and left by repre-
senting himself as collector for INSTALL
ment houses. 1t is not known how much
money he procured, but Prosecutor Err
win represented to the Court that it
must be quite considerable. The money
the people paid to him is dead loss to
those who can i'll afford it, and Esleman
was made an example of as much at the
request of the installment house people
as by the sufferers.
James Thompson, colored, was given
three years in State Prison for assaulting
the conductor of a Bayonne car and a
Miss Rose Smith of No. % West Twenty
second street, Bayonne. on May "a He
punched and kicked the conductor when
demonstrated with for disorderly conduct,
and when ordered off the car threw a
big stone, which broke a car window and
inflicted a scalp wound on Miss Smith, a
passenger. She has been treated by a
surgeon ever since.
Judge Blair deemed a heavy penalty
necessary, not only for the assaults but
as warning to hoodlums who endeavor
to take possession of trolley cars.

Hitherto the practice has been that

stop is to be put to that sort of thing
The latest instance is to be seen at. the
foot of Washington and Greene streets,
where certain companies have practically
seized strip of nearly 800 feet in
length and 80 feet in width and use the
frontage on the Gap for loading and un-
loading vessels with their merchandise,
and the city doesn't reap a cent of bene-
fit from 1t.
The Board of Street and Water Com
missioners' attention having been drawn
to this matter they are going to act DE-
cisively. Scows will be towed alongside
the strip and anchored to the street.
Then those who. dispute the city's rights
there will have to fight.
A very high official of the city, speak
ing about it today, said that there was
no reason under the sun why the water
front there should be occupied by these
corporations unless they paid for the
privilege. The strip alluded to has a
splendid frontage and could be used with
profit to the city for the loading and un-
loading of craft 1t extends from Greene
street to Washington street and un-
doubtedly is city property.
The Commissioners expect to have the
front occupied by Monday at the latest.

English Migrants Vanish.

One of the most notable documents is
sued in connection with poor law admins
istration for many years is that which
has just been prepared by the local gov
ernment board on the subject of vagran-
cy in the eastern counties. For genera
tions the tramps and casual class has
been the despair for social reformers,
and the hardest problem of all for poor
law administrators. If we are to believe
these figures this class is now decreasing
so rapidly that within few years it will
be extinct if the present rate of decrease
is maintained. The return gives the num-
ber of casuals in Norfolk and Suffolk for
the four years. 1S79-190O In Norfolk the
figures for the four years are 29,o37, "a
12S, 1905 and last year only 9,739 In
Suffolk the corresponding decrease is Just
50 per cent. From the details of the re-
turn we gather that the decrease is gen
eral over thirty-eight- out of thirty-nine
poor law unions of East Anglia.
The most conservative defenders of
things as they are will hear of the dis
appearance of the tramp in the country

Cody and Detective Lee, who had been
working up the case, went to New York

lieve that the silverware had been dis
posed of at a certain fence over there.
They waited all night until the proprietor

ing the description for s26. This amount
was paid to him for the recovery of the

complications.

whom was not revealed and who were
net recognized as having ever visited the
Jail before. The three ladies' arrived in
a Newark Turnpike car at exactly two

for about an hour. The greeting between
husband and wife was very affectionate
and nearly all the time was spent in con-
versation through the iron barred door
that separates the consultation room
from the corridor in which Barker's cell
Is located
Despite the announcement by Marshall
A. Van Wrinkle, Barker's counsel, that an
appeal would be taken in his clients case
the Arlington friends of Barker announced

had been abandoned. Instead they say
they will care for Mrs. Barker and bend
all their energies towards inducing the
Court of Pardons to parole the prisoner
