Crack-a-Jack Players Have
Entered the Lists.

The entries for the coming pool tourna-

headquarters close tonight. The tourna-
ment will open on the evening of March
4 and will last, it is anticipated, at least
two months. So far there have been

each one OF the participants will have
to play all the others.
Nearly all the members who are crack

These include Charles Dolan of the Cath

ceum, Joseph Perlmutter, Eugene Sulli-
van, James Mckee, Charles Smith and
Rector Fisk. The players will contest for
four costly individual prizes. The tourna-
ment promises lots of sport not only for
the players, but for those who enjoy tits
between expert cue handlers. Chairman
George Donaldson and Secretary Rector
Fish have been indefatigable in their ef-
forts to secure lots of entries, and the
tournament is already an assured sue
cess.

NO PARK FOR LAFAYETTE.
Mr.. Van Horne Refuses to
Sell His Lots for Less
Than $4,000.

If the Street and Water Commissioners
stick to their resolution passed Tuesday,
outlining the committee on Public
Grounds and Buildings to spend not more
than $4,000 in purchasing a site for La
fayette park, it is safe to state that La
fayette people won't get a park. Mr..
Abraham Van Horne, who owns the only
available site in that section, positively
refuses to sell under $4,000. The Board of
Finance considered this matter at several
meetings Mr. Van Horne appeared be-
fore the board to give his price. The
board offered $4,000 for his property 'front.'
ing on Communipaw avenue. The owner
said that as he had paid all taxes, he was
entitled to the extra thousand dollars.
The original price asked was $4,000
Now that the Street and Water Board
has taken some steps in the park matter,
and has set a price $4,000 below the
amount asked, some difficulty is anticipat-
ed. Mr.. Van Horne is set on $4,000. He
says that not a cent less will be taken,
tion 1t is thought that the act of the
Street and Water Board puts an end to
the park matter for some time to come.
Mr.. Van Horne admitted that he would
not talk business with the officials for
such a price Time would be wasted, ne
said. Mr. Van Horne owns forty-eight
lots fronting on Communipaw avenue and
Van Horne streets. These are the lots
specified by the Street and Water Board.

N0LAN'S QUICK WORK.
Responds to Twelfth Ward
Clubs Appeal for
improvements.

1t was only recently that the Twelfth
Ward Democratic Club took up the sub
ject of public improvements. AT Tues
day evenings meeting of that body the
Committee on Improvements reported a
list of much needed Improvements in the
Hudson City section, including an iron
stairway at the foot of Congress street
leading down into Hoboken, and a wood
en- stairway leading down from the foot
of Bowers street to the Hackensack
Plank Road.
The secretary was instructed to sub
nit the list to the proper authorities and
urge in the name of the association, that
the improvements be made. That of the
wooden stairway at the foot of Bowers
street was especially urged 1t was point
ed out that many working people who
work in Hoboken and even in New York,
but whose homes are on the Hill, in or
der to save carefare and make short
cut home. climb on their hands and
knees up the steep incline from the Pat
erson Plank Road to the foot of Bowers
street. Even women and girls endure
this climb every evening on their way
home from work, and run the risk of
taking a header in their efforts to climb
down every morning.
The request for this much needed i'm
provement has been already needed.
Street and Water Commissioner Nolan,
who is a leading spirit of the Twelfth
Ward Democratic Club, has already set
the chief engineer at work on specifica-
tions for the wooden stairway at the foot
of Bowers street, and work upon the
stairway will be begun inside of two
weeks. The Commissioner also declares
that he will push the project of erecting
an iron stairway at the foot of Con-
gress street leading down into Hoboken,
and that he has every reason to believe
that the project will soon become an as
sured fact.
The association proposes to devote
much of it's efforts to securing needed i'm
provements for all that section of the
city.

City for an election, Mr.. Hudspeth said,
is mill and quarter on each 800. That
| in itself, he declared, could not be re-
garded as extrava gance
Mr.. Hudspeth read from a leading or
gan of the Republicans an interview with
Franklin Murphy, chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee. In that inter-
view Mr.. Murphy frankly admitted that
the purpose of the bill was to give the
Republicans of Jersey City an advantage
that they did not now possess. This, Mr..
Hudspeth said, was a plain, fiat indica-
ton of the purposes of the bill to abol-
ish spring elections. He said the meas
ure was iniquitous, unjust and unwise
and against the reputation gained by New
Jersey as one of the foremost of States
in the way of progress.
Following Mr.. Hudspeth came Mr. Nc
Carter of Essex, who affected almost
fearful surprise that "a man of culture
such as Senator Hudspeth, could insult
the class of highly educated residents
who have made New Jersey what it is
the men who commute from the large
cities in the nearby States" He then
proceeded to say that if the measure was
/, ",
/ he was glad of it, Following a fiery
tumble by the Essex man, the bill was
put to vote and passed by a strict party
test. The three Democratic Senators
present voted in the negative.
Then the bill, under suspension of the
rules, was dispatched to the House of
Assembly at once. The House had been
under call for more than an hour, await
ing the arrival of the bill. Immediately
it reached the clerks desk, it was brought
up by Assemblyman Lewis and was
adopted by a viva voce vote. The only
Republican to vote against a concurrence
of Bergen, who voted with the Demo-
Gratis in the negative. The vote on the
bill was Sc to g. Thirteen members were
absent and three Republicans-Carr
Hyres and Whitehead-refused to vote.
Carr Hyres and Whitehead voted
against the bill when it was originally
passed by the House. Steelman and
Moore of Cumberland, together with
Wright and dorner of Burlington, who
also voted against the bill when it first
passed the House, and Blohm of Salem,
who lodged the original vote, were taken
into camp by the regulars yesterday and
voted to concur in the amendments. They
were won over at caucus of the Republi-
cans, held Immediately after the discovery
was made lat the bill as it passed the
House was faulty.
1t soon developed that but thirty of the
original supporters of the bill were pres
ent, and without a majority it would be
impossible to concur in the Senate modi-
fcations. Then it was that the South
Jerseymen, who had voted against it,
agreed to vote for a concurrence in the
Senate amendments. These amendments
simply extend the terms of freeholders in
cities, the same as the terms of other Off
