Auspiciously With a
Smoker.


The tournament week Of st. Johns
Catholic Club opened last night in the
clubhouse at Var Winkle street and
the Boulevard with a successful stag and
smoker The main hall.was so dense
with smoke that. one would imagine there
was FIRE in the building.
The large number of members who
attended enjoyed an interesting vande-
vile programme ard there was bounti-
.fsil supply of cigars, pipes aud tobacco
for all.
The club received its new upright
piano yesterday afternoon and many of
the members tested the instrument thor
oughly.
The programme opened last night with
several ragtime selections on the piano
by James Ray, who almost made the
instrument talk. Jaues Kelly followed
with up-to-date coony songs and was re-
peatedly eneored.
The st. Johns Club mandolin and gui-

and initiated various instruments on the

Professor Duffy. the renowned mes
mcrist and magician, made decided hit
with his sleight-of-hand tricks. He very
cleverly executed the famous bowl trick,
in which he took an ordinary cloth and
spread it in front of him. In few
seconds he produces large glass dish
containing water and gold fish. He ber-
rowed a derby hat from Barney Lynch
and from itnot only took yards and
yards of paper, but articles of baby cloth

much to the embarrassment of Barney.
His numerous other tricks We're well
performed and he kept his audience
guessing for fully thirty minutes.
Michael Golden, with his Hebrew
stories and jokes, told in excellent dia-

HAD BOGUS MONEY
Two Generous Strangers III
Hohoken Turn Quito Be
Counterfeiters.


Joseph Barney, twenty-nine years old,
who claims to live in Boston, was ar
rested last night after an exciting chase
in Hoboken, where he had passed several
counterfeit s. bills.
Barney and another well dressed man
attracted considerable attention in sa-
looms along Washington and Hudson
streets by their fastidious taste in order
ing drinks. They were drummers out
OH a lark, they Remarked in sexAfal
places, and proposed TO have the best
bottled JOY on sale in Hoboken-
Each of the men displayed roll Of
money as bifi as a piano leg. They paid
for their drinks with So bills and the sa-
loon keepers complimented themselves on
having such liberal transient patrons
The men visited at least a dozen sa-
looms before they were suspected of
showing off queer" They wound up
in the saloon of Nicholas Zatta, of No.
POI Hudson street. where Barney or
dered drinks, and peeled off $5 bill
from his corpulent roll.
A man in the saloon happened to be in
another place where the prosperous
strangers were whooping mp things, and
he gave Zata a wink Hata .stwigged
the wink as they say in Hoboken, and
began to scrutinize the bill ike a'jeweller
would damaged watch.
He refused to take it telling the man
that it was probably all right, but that
it looked just little bit queer. The
stranger got very indignant, and left the
saloon with his friend.
When they had gone Zata ran outside
and pointed them out to Patrolman Gar
rick as two eounterfeiters. When the
men saw Garriek coming toward them
they separated and began to run.
Barney continued down Hudson street,
and half-score of people ran after him
with Garrick. Garrick proved the feeter
of the two, and overlook the man after
he had covered three blocks.
When the saloon keepers whom the
that counterf<iter had been arrested.
there was a hurried inspection of cash
registers and half score of bogus S5
bills are alleged TO have been discovered.
Only three of the publicans could sum-
mon up courage to admit that they had
been duped and appear against the man
in the Recorders court this morning.
The bills they submitted as evidence We're
very poor limitations of the genuine ar
ticle.
Recorder Stanton turned Barney over
to U. s. Commissioner Russ, who COM
mitted him to the county Jail to await the
action of the Federal authorities.

DOINGS OF
MRS. COLLINS
Interesting Proceedings in
Vice Chancellor Pitney's
Court Today.
GOV. WERTs VS.. The COURT
Amusing Verbal Encounters
on the Art Of Examining
Witnesses.
Gov. WERTS VS.. THE COURT

More of the goings-on of Mrs. Collins,
widow of Marty" Collins, were told in
Viee-Chancellor Pitney's Court today,
and An interesting feature of the hearing
was the legal sparring between ex-Gover-
nor George L. Werts, counsel for Miss
Annie ioppin, whose possession Of the
Florida Flats is in dispute, and the Vice
Chancellor.
They We're neighbors in Morris Coun-
ty, and there is no better fun than to
witness friendly verbal encounter be-
tween them. The Governor has the repu-
tation of being the only member of the
bar who talks back at the Nice-Chan-
cellor. Yesterday, for instance, the Gov
ernor wanted to ask his witness ques-
ton, but the vice-Chancellor ruled it
out and the Governor grumbled:
Il want to examine the witness in my
own way or not at,all.
Proceed, said the Vice Chancellor,
with smile and the Governor got his
question and answer on the record.
you've gone over that before, Cover
nor,'' said the Vice Chancellor interrupt
ing another question and the Governor
petulantiy retorted:
..Well, I'm going over it again." and
he did.
MRS. COLLINS CIRCUITOUS RIDE.
William Underhill, cabdriver of Ex-
change place. was called to the stand by
Governor Werts and he said that he re-
membered perfectly that one day curing
the summer Mrs Collins, who had come
off a train hired him at the r. Il. r. fer
ry, Exchange Place, to drive her to the
City Hall to see Mr.. Robert Davis. They
did not. he said. see Mr.. Davis. and lie
drove mis- fare to Miss Topin's bouse,
halted for refreshments at several sa-
looms and finally landed Mrs. Collins at
the Toppin house, and lie drove away.
Thomas Fallon, friend of the Topp'n n
family, said that lie was stopping 4n
AGRA, n. Y, during the summer when
Mrs. Collins came up to that place hunt
ing for the Misses Toppin and Mr.
Davis, all Of whom were at the hotel
at the time but didn't see her. Mr.. Fal-
lon said that he had prevented Mrs
Collins from seeing them because Of her
condition. She was intoxicated and
spent the night in the hotel, leaving fol-
New York the next day.

Governor Werts then tried TO get out

EXPECT TO GET BACK


There has been much gloom in the
Mayors office ever since the news was
received that the Supreme Court had
affirmed the ordinance passed by the
Board of Aldermen, establishing an cleo
tive Excise Board. !.
The Board, wlsi& consists of Thomas
NJ. g. Lennon, George H. Donaldson.
George w Henry. Philip J. Kreutzig
and james j. Mcbride, will organize
on New Years Day.
The bipartisan Excise Board, which is
composed of President Siebert and Com
nlissioners Mason, O'Brien and Bowling.
will probably go out Of business on that
day.
DOUBTS ABOUT AN APPEAL.
Lawyer William H. Speer, who prose-
cuted the proceedings which didn't upset
the Camden act, said today that he
didn't know whether a writ of error
would be taken to the Court of Errors
and Appeals. He had long talk with
Mayor Pagan in reference to the de-.
cision.
The administration hopes that the
next Legislature will come to its relief
BIT passing new Excise Commission
ACT which win legislate the elective COM
mission out of business.
Republicans in other part of the State
who are satisfied with the present order
of things. may upset the calculations Of
the Mayor and his friends.
Corporation Attorney John Wahl
Queen, who won the victory for the peo-
pie, received today a copy of the Courts
fopiuion, which was forwarded by JUS
tice Collins.
TENT OF THE OPINION.
The opinion in part was as follows
.-The only contention of illegality in
the ordinance made in the brief fled for
the prosecutor is that in Jersey City the
propert board to pass such an ordinance
as was passed by the Board of Aldermen
is not that the board, but the Board of
Excise Commissioners appointed by the
Mayor January l., 1862. under the act
Of 1894, confirmed April 3. 1902.
The argument is that because the
Board last named has eognizance of ex-
else Elatters it is the governing board
or body contemplated by the authorizing
statute, and that even if Jersey City had
Common Counail, co nomine, it could
not act, because any gorernance it might
otherwise have had has passed to the
Excise Commissioners. In other words
the assumption is that the legislature
contemplated that, normally. a Common
Council would be the governing board in
the premises. but that, if governance of
excise matters had been committed to
some other board or body it intended to
confer the authority upon that body.
We are Of opinion therefore that in
Jersey City the proper Board to pass
ar ordinance for flie establishment Of a
Board of Excise Commissioners in that
city under Chapter 195 of the Laws of
1902 is the Board Of Aldermen and the
ordinance passed by this Board on Oc-
tober Z, 1902, is affirmed with costs.
