A delegation of indignant citizens and
Pagan Yesterday afternon in his Office at
the City Hall and protested against the
storage of 1000 barrels of oil at the
foot of Halliday street. near Hauck' s
coal yard and close TO the canal. The
delegation was headed by John Hauek.
brother of the Street and Water Com
missioner He told the Mayor that the
Fire Board, at its last meeting, by Il
vote OF two to one. two Republicans and
one Democrat, granted permission TO the
Heidi & Young Company to store 1000
barrels of oil. This company uses a
spur into the Central Railroad.
"It's astonishing to allow these people
to act this way in Lafayette" said Mr..
Hauck Why, some day if by accident
an explosion occurred it would be a
small Mount Pclee' Why. Mr.. Mayor,
you can't realize the danger the people
in that neighborhood will be subjected
to-
ssFire Commissioner Angel led us to
believe that lie was against granting per-
mission to store this oil, and | can't un-
derstand why he voted in favor of it.
The people in Lafayette are surprised
at him, too, because they though he was
a man who would always look out for
the public's welfare
The Mayor in reply produced an ordl-
nance book and read from it clause nm
der which the Fire Board had right to
do as it wished and he was powerless
They asked him if he couldn't do some
thing in the way Of talking to the Fire
Commissioners and getting them to re
consider the permit granted.
The Mayer again said he was power
less and the delegation had to leave.
Somebody at the City Hall this morn
ing wanted to know how friendly Fire
Commissioner Angel and HEIDI AID
Young Company are.

SNUB FOR HEATH

Unanimous Turn Down
This Morning.
HIS INVESTIGATION" Postponed
Prudently Remains Outside
Doors of Street and Water
Board, While Seeing
MIR. Hauck.

Forrest A. Heath, the assistant clerk
of the Board of Finance, who was re-
Gently appointed auditor for the Commit
tee on Concurrent Resolutions to act, IN
other words, as sleuth for General
Abernethy and Mayor Pagan, started
out TO make investigations this morning
at the office of the Street and Water
Board.
Mr.. Heath wanted to verify the batch
of claims submitted TO the Board of Fl
nance by the Street and Water Board,
that were checked by Street and Water
Commissioner Ferdinand Heintze, who
now in California, but who expects to re,
turn in week or so.
Mr.. Heath called at the office of Cler'
George t. Bouton first, where he reeeiv-
ed a pleasant reception. He was then
referred TO Commissioner Anthony
Hauck, and here his visit ended and
investigation was made.
Commissioner Hauck, upon learning
Mr.. Heath's mission, said: THE claims
YOU have come TO investigate are all

Heintze being n California, | gaess

don't. and 1 know the other commission
ers don't want TO interfere with the
doings of Mr.. Heintze.''
Heath didn't appear to like this, but
had to take the commissioners way of
looking at it.
Knowing that his presence was dis
tasteful to several of the commissioners,
Mr.. Heath remained outside their office
while he conyersed with Commissioner
Hauck
The auditor" also called at the office
of Comptroller Hough this morning to
investigate some claims, but the Comp
troller was busy The Comptroller
noticed him for moment and found
time to say, How do You like your
work. Mr.. Heath's reply was, Oh,
pretty fair. I've spent about ten min
utes at it this morning.

Deadly Bite Of Fer-De-Lance

Former residents of Martinique say
that the perils of any expedition making
exploration or carrying succor to the
country about st. Pierre will be gravely
increased by the presence of the fer-de-
lance.
This serpent. which is the curse of
the isinnd. is SAID TO be the deadilest OF
snaeks outside of India. ..e inhabitants
of the regions Infested by it say that not
even the terrible hooded ombra lniiiets
death more swiftly or surely a traveller
writes in the New York Sum:
..The gulcnes around st. Pierre fairly
swarm with the venemous reptiles. 1t is
principally because Of their presence that
ascents of Mount Pelee. otherwise. not
particularly difficult or hazardous, have
been so infrequent.
1T is d curious fact that in eases of
seismic disturbances snakes make for the
low lnnd | have heard that when Mount
Pelee was disturbed in the middle of the
last century the fcr-de-lance oyerran the
streets of st. Pierre, although they are
naturally a grassland snack.
Suppose. now, that the shore beyond
the district whore all life has been
blottcd out has become the refuge of
these creatures. What will happen to
the men who land there, particularly #
they are Ignorant of the danger! 1t IS
not pleasant to think of. The fer-de-.
lance does not wait to be attacked. He
IS d born murderer. When he has once

Chief Justice Gummere
Rules Out New York
Lawyers From State
Courts.
SURPRISE At TERN OPENING
New Jerseys Courtesy to
Sister State Not Appre-
ciated and the Rule
Will Be Enforced


Especial to @The Jersey City News."]
TRENTON. June Ii, 1902.--The
Court of Errors and Appeals, at the
opening Of the June term this morning,
sprang surprise which greatly pleases
tie members of the New Jersey Bar
present. An order was promulgated
prohibiting any lawyer of Greater New
York from appearing in the Court of Err
rors and Appeals, Chancery and Su-
prene Courts.
When the court met. Chancellor Ma
gle, the presiding officer, said that Chief
Justice Gummere had statement to
make.
The Chief Justice said that the atten-
ton of the court had been called to the
fact that no lawyer who is not an at
torney of New York was allowed to
practice in the courts of Greater New
York A similar rule existed in New
Jersey, but heretofore the courts had
construed it so as not TO prevent lawyers
from sister States appearing in our
higher courts The court has called the
attention of the New York courts to this
and requested that they construe theiI
rule in the same manner, but had re-
ceived no reply. The court therefore fell
it necessary for the protection of the
Bar of New Jersey to exclude lawyer
of New York and Brooklyn from appear
ing in the Court of Errors and Appeals
Chancery and Supreme Courts 50 long
as Greater New York enforced the rule
strictly.

Comedy of the Shoe String.

This is from the Boston "Herald" :-It
was Brookline electric, comfortably fill
ed when a well dressed young woman
entered and took a seat next to a man.
Presently she leaned forward and began
to tie up her shoe lacing. 1t proved
rather difficult to do with her gloves on,
but after awhile the passengers Witness
ing the performance saw the feat accom-
plished and the lady sit back, calmly
gazing out of the window If "she was all
ways tying her shoe" in electric cars.
At the next stop the man beside her
rose to get off, but 10. there came strus-
gle, and then horror mutual and general
The two were fastened, not exactly hand
and foot, but shoe and shoe. SO dili-
gently had the lady tied the knots that
the iacnig had to be cut by ready
