TUNNEL
New Company to Push the
Underground Trolley
Road to New York.
DETAILS OF. THE SCHEME
Mr.. E. F. g. Young Corrects
the Misstatements Credit
ed to Him in Inter-
views That Did Not
Take Place.

The scheme to completeN the Hudson
River tunnel and run trolley cars through,
mentioned exclusively in the News a
month ago. is now progressing rapidly
and If the projected companys plans go
through all right work will be recon-
menced within week or two.
As the News" then stated, the North
Jersey Street Railway Company is inter-
ested in it to large extent, because it
intends to merge all the Central, Midland
and North Jersey trolley lines into New
York communication at the foot of Nor
ton street in that city, the tunnel Begin
ming at Sixteenth street, Jersey City.
President E. F. c. Young in talking Of
the company's plans said that great deal
of nonsense and false information had
been circulated by some newspapers in
publishing the fact that the tunnel was
to be finished. In the first place the
North Jersey. Street Railway is not go
ing to complete the work and in the
second place the Pennsylvania Railroad
tunnel scheme is an entirely different
affair.
q don't know said Mr.. Young to a
News representative this morning, show
such lot of things which 1 certainly did
not say get into the papers you mention.
The Interviews alleged to have been Civ
en- by me were not
In reply to question as to the effect
of the tunnel connection to the present
system of the North Jersey Company, Mr..
Young said
'Only this: it will be an annex and
that is ALL"
A suitable depot will be constructed at
the entrance to the tunnel ON Sixteenth
street and the company will build tracks
down that thoroughfare from Jersey ave
nue. and Henderson street for the Jersey
City and Newark connection, and frors
Grove street for the cars from Hoboken,
effecting communication with the white
Line points. Passengers from Elizabeth
OH the south and from Paterson on the
north can go direct to the New York
shopping centres without changing cars.
In every respect the new arrangement
will resemble the system now in operation
in Brooklyn from the remote suburbs of
which people can get cars at Sheepshead
Bay, Flatbush, Greenwood, Greenpoint
and other places which will take them di
rect to the City Hall, New York.
To effect all this change a new company
is in process of Incorporation and the con-
trolling interest will be held by those VINO
have similar power in the affairs of the
North Jersey Street Railway Company.

THE WORTH or HER HANDKERCHIEF
Mrs. Herman Wantod to Take 1t
Ont Of the Thief.


There was enacted in the First Crin.-
inal Court this morning farce comedy
that afforded deal of amusement to the
roomful of spectators. Even the court
was convulsed with laughter The princi-
pal actors were two women with another
as a supernumerary. Mrs Elizabeth Glew,
50 years old, of No. 74S Jersey avenue, had
The high tragedy role of prisoner at the
bar. She stood accused of the larceny of
two skirts. a cape and a pocMetbood FROM
Mrs. Ann kiernan, of No. 2S4 First street
and the larceny of pockebook from the
home of Mrs. May Crossman, of No. 1874
Jersey avenue. Mrs. Herman was the
comedian and Mrs. Crossman was the SUI
pernumerary.
The complaint of Mrs Herman was
heard first. She is a little old woman
with the strength Of her convictions and
a leaning toward the strenuous. She ac-
cused the prisoner with all the vehemence
in her makeup and interrupted the re-
cital of her story several times for the
purpose of asking that the court give
her the privilege Of administering justice
to Mrs. Glew. She began as soon as Mrs.
Glew was brought from the pen:-
"Oh, you thief! You English eur!
Where is my pocketbook and my two fine
skirts? You took them. Now give them
back. You drunken bum Oh, I'd like TO
blacken both your eyes. Please. your
Honor can I give her just one good
punch in the face. That's all / want to
give her-one good punch in the face
What complaint have you to make
against this woman?" asked Judge Hoos
''Well, took her in when she had no
home and fed her, and yesterday when
She got my back turned she stole my
two fine skirts and my pocketbook." :"
Turning to the prisoner she demanded
Give them up, you thief. Please.
Judge, let me hit her just once. Oh, but
I'd like to get at herr' Mrs. Herman
made step forward and Court OFFICER
Doyle had to hold her back.
What was in the pocketbook?'' asked
the Court.
"Only e few dollars. And she stole my
nice white handkerchief Where's that
handkerchief. you huzzy?"
what were the skirts worth?"
Five dollars apiece. The English dog
of a thief! Please let me give her one
punch She's always drunk Her daugh-
ter told me that she would not let her
III the mousse because SilG IS Always drunk
She'd steal anything to get drink but I'll
fix her for that white handkerchief as
sure as she lives. I could tear her
apart Again it was necessary for Doyle
to step between the accused and the ac-
cuser.
Mrs. Crossman told how the prisoner
had gone into her home yesterday and
stolen a pocketbook containing 80. She
said:
Il took this woman in out of charity
but had to send her away because she
was a drunkard. Yesterday snc came to
my house while was out and stole poe
ketbook in the presence of my young
daughter. Her own children will have
nothing to do with her because of her
drinking habits.
Mrs. Glew denied both charges but was
nevertheless held for examination tomor-
row morning. She gives he< occupation as
a trained nurse.

The absentee was James Hamill, whose
father died Tuesday night.
Those present retired to small room at
six o'clock, after announcing that they
were about OF arrange a programme to
guide them during the coming session.
They remained in executive session for q
half hour and then sat down to dinner in
an adjoining room. The dinner was an
elaborate one.
Counsellor John DENIM, who is the
senior member Of the delegation was seen
at this time by a News reporter and
asked what action had been taken at the
caucus. He said:-
1--WE have not yet finished our discus
sions. We will continue at dinner and
for that reason the dinner will be strictly
private
Shortly after seven o'clock the Assem-
blymen left the dining room and made a
hurried exit from the building. Mr.. Dem
min was seen in the hallway and in reply
10 an inquiry he said:
1--WE did nothing but eat dinner
Didn't you discuss legislation for Hud-
son?'
"No. All we did was to agree that
George Tenant was to be the leader of
the minority and was to be the candi-
date for Speaker of the House.
rs that all?''
That's ALL
Assemblyman-elect William Hurley,
who is one of the youngest men who has
ever been sent to the Assembly said that
Senator Hudspeth, who was guest, had
been appointed his guardian. He modest
ly admitted that before the dinner was
over he had convinced the Senator that
he was beyond the need of guardians
influence. Each of the other Assembly,
men and Senator Hudspeth was seen, but
they would not say what had been done.
Senator Hudspeth was the only guest
present, Congressman Allan L. McDer-
mott and Alderman-at-Large P. Anthony
Brock. the only others invited having sent
their regrets.
One Assemblyman who asked that his
name be not mentioned said that Carl G.
A. Schumann was elected secretary of the
delegation. He also said that a caucus
would be held later when there would
be present Lewis s. Iliff, of Sussex and
Warren o. Laudenberger, of IIunterdon.
the other Democrats elected outside of
Hudson.
Resolutions of coincidence to be for
ward to Assemblyman James Hamill on
the death of his father were adopted, but
not made public.

The managers of Mayor-elect Mark M.
Pagan are, in the common vernacular,
''up against it,"
AS has been the custom with the Re-
publican party, Mr.. Pagan was nominat-
ed purely on speculation. If he was beat
en- they had nothing to lose. If he won
they would try to get in on the ground
floor.
Not one of those who are now running
the Mayor-elect had the least idea, up to
a few days before election, that Mr.. Fa-
gan would be the next Mayor, and they
paid but little attention to him until they
realized that he was it." Then there
was a great running to cover. But it was
too late to get hold of the Mayor-elect
in the pliable state that is so much sought
after in such officials His very dear but
quite new friends had lost so much
time that the candidate had made all his
promises to those who were not conspicu-
Gus until election day. They were his
chums and they never lacked confidence
in Mr.. Pagan, and on his promises they
got out and hustled and they made his
election possible.
Now that it is plain that P. Farmer
Wanser, Egbert Rappleye, John Nc
Arthur and that clique are trying their
best to get control of the Mayor-elect,
the friends who stuck by the candidate
in the doubtful period Of the campaign
are out with aekick and roar that are
gaining strength daily. They say that
the men named by the journal az
likely office holders are put forth to take
the public attention from those who are
really considered and that the likely ones
are kept in the shade so as to avoid pro-
tests before the coup can be made They
say that the scheme is to make the ap-
pointments on the first of the year and
then let the gang howl themselves hoarse.
II will then be too late. The "o.d friends"
are now determined that no such game
will be worked with success if they can
help it, and they think they can.
However these old friends are them
selves fighting one another. The Fifth
ward faction claim the Mayor and his
patronage as all their own, and when
The name of Wanser or any of the Others
who are in the class of the Managers
is mentioned. they reply with reference
to a place that is generally rather more
comfortable this time of the year than
in summer
James Connolly, the "Commish, is the
leader of the faction that hold Mr.. Pagan
should listen to them. They elected him
instead of those who did nothing for him
in the fight but want all the graft now
that the victory is won. Connolly was re-
fused a license a short time ago because
he ran a saloon that the Board of Alder
men thought should not be allowed in the
community He was one of the largest
contributors to the Fagan campaign fund.
II s eaid he speut two thousand dollars

the present prohibitory law was one
which drew a large audience despite
the unpropitious weather. The ad-
dress was well spoken of by all who
heard it, and it's having been fully quo
ted in the Free Press of Monday, and
other state papers, has brought out
extensive and favorable comment in
all quarters. Some of the prominent
points made by Mr.. Reid are given in
an article elsewhere in this paper.
Four fiat cars standing in the rail
road yard across the river last Sunday
were the centre of considerable inter-
est, they having upon them the cast
ings belonging to two of the largest
sized disappearing gun carriages, and
the machinery connected with them.
Two of the cars had the bottoms taken
out and each had an immense casting
let down partly through the bottom,
it being necessary to have the casting
reach within six inches of the rails
in order to clear the bridges at the
top. They were being shipped from
the WATERFOWL, Mass, arsenal to the
Notifications at Point Lobos in San
Francisco harbor.

Lunch Rooms Closed at / A. M.

In our village the night lunch room
has come to be an important factor,
there now being six different ones
running night and day, seven days in
the week During the past year the
appearance and surroundings of the
most of these have indicated the sale
of a large amount of beer and many
citizens charge that it has not been
entirely within the so called 80 per
cent" the sale of which the law does
not prohibit. This the proprietors
stoutly deny. For some months there
has been a growing tendency of young
men to gather. in these places late at
night and spend their time in shaking
dice and other questionable ways.
This has become so much cause of
complaint that the bailiffs Monday
night adopted an Oruer to be served
upon each of these places and the pool
rooms, closing them all every night
from l O'Clock after the night shifts
at the mills. until 8 a. m, and restrict
ing the Sunday business to the serV
ing of regular bOarders, of which the
cafes have each a number. The order
is one that will commend itself to the
good Judgment of our people. In
every case, and there have been many
where young men have left these
places late at night in an intoxicated
condition, the proprietors claimed that
they had stopped in on their way home
from visits to the saloons in North
Walpole. 1t is a matter to be regret
ted that the actions about these places
do not indicate that our village is
as free from the appearance of the sa
loon element as was so much comment
ed upon two or three years ago.
