Pagan & Co. Talking q
Spending 100000 on
New Sites and I'm
provements.
LAFAYETTE SITE IMPROVEMENT
Doubt as to Whether a Bone
Issue Will Prosper Any
Better Than the Water
Refunding Operation.

Mayor Pagan and the Finance Conn
missioners have been discussing the ques<
tion of appropriating monies for the in<
provement of public parks, and the ac<
QUESTION of additional property for park
purposes. 1t is possible that the talk
may develop into an appearance of ac-
ton at the Board of Finance meeting
this afternoon.
Among the propositions to be acted
upon is one to appropriate $4,000 for
the improvement of the Lafayette Park.
Mayor Pagan said this morning that
there remains $4,000 in the original La
fayette Park fund, and that $4,000 is
needed for the work of making the park
place of beauty.
IF provision is made for the money"
he said, "we will be in position to be-
gin the work early next spring. 1t takes
time to complete the preliminary work
of preparing plans and advertising. The
city could not accomplish much this fall
in the direction of improving the park.
The work would hardly be started before
it would be stopped by the winter wealth
er. We want to get everything in shape
so the work can be prosecuted early in
the spring.
The Finance Commissioners and His
Honor have almost come to the con-
clusion that the time is ripe for taking
measures to purchase the ADDITIONAL sited
for River View Park in Hudson City.
1t has been suggested that it would
be in order for the city to issue bonds
to the amount of 100000 for park pur-
poses. If this is done, the money for inn
provements and purchase of an addi-
tional park site will be drawn from this
fund, as it is needed.
The city could not float s500O0o worth
of refunded water bonds few weeks
ago. 1t is not known when the Finance
Commissioners will see their way clear
to attempt to float the proposed 100000
issue of park bonds.

O'Nsill Leg.

John O'Neill, sixteen years old, Of
Elizabethport, N. j., who ran away form
his home to seek his fortune, was riding
on a west bound freight train on the

VICTIM OF AN AUTO
Carrousel Man Geise's Ex-
perience With a Run
about Which He
Tanned.
WAS GIVING IT A TEST
After It Flip-floppsd on Top
.of Him, the Doctor Had
a Full Days Work.
WAS GIVING IT A TEST

Emil Guse, the machinist and carousel-
owner at Hudson Heights, better known
as Little Coney Island, North Bergen,
seems to be fated to get into all the
trouble there is going. In refence OF
his business he has been a party to two
or three rows during the past few weeks,
and now he is under the doctors care
owing to the obstinacy of an automobile.
A few days ago a gentleman by The
name of AIurry from New York City
left to be repaired an automobile of the
runabout type. Murry said that the ma
chine had dumped him number of
times and he wanted it made safe.
Geise worked upon the vehicle for rwo
or three days and yesterday concluded
that all was we'll He first tried it in
front of his establishment and then Mrs.
Geise and he took spin on the Boule-
ward. Everything worked satisfactorily
and they returned safely.
In the evening ,Geise, wishing to be
sure he had accomplished all that was
desired took the auto out and started
to give it a severe test. He started down
Hudson County Boulevard at rapid
rate. Opposite the entrance to the Gut
tenberg Race Track, something took
place. Geise cannot say exactly what
it was. The steering gear evidently
broke as the forward wheels turned at
right angles to the rear ones. Geise
turned double somersault and landed
On the macadam. The auto succeeded
in turning single flip and landed on
Geise When he was hauled from under
the wreck, Geise was unconscious, and
the auto was a total wreck.
Geise was removed to his home and
DIR. Justin of West New York was
called. IN
Geise looks as if shA had bean througa
two or three Spanish-f erican wars. 1t
is certain that he will not be able to re
sume-duty at his place of business for
some time. He is occupied in thanking
Providence that he is alive.

in an unconscious condition from which
he has not vet recovered. The hospital
authorities are momentarily expecting his
death.
Father Barsczcz for a number Of years
past has had no regular charge, and has
spent his time making collections for the
st. Paul's Benevolent legion, society
connected with the. Polish Catholic
Church. Yesterday morning he left his
home. telling Mrs. Wall that he was go
ing to Railway to make collections. ne
evidently had decided to stop at Newark
on his way home.
1t was partially through Father
Barszcz's efforts that the church was
erected.
Mrs. Wall said this morning to a
News reporter that with the exception
of a slight attack of Indigestion, which
mad confined him to his bed for three
days, Father Barszcz had been singularly
free from illness while at her home.
"For a week or two past Father
Barszcz,' she said, "has been much wor-
ried over the non-arrival of a registered
letter supposed to contain $500 from his
brother in Europe, and in fact has been
in straitened circumstances for some
time. The letter has not been traced,
and as yet no answer has been received
from, Europe in reply to letter stating
that the money had not arrived

TO CLIP HIS WINGS
Col. Sam Will Make Cap
tain Cody Inspector and
Real Head Of
Police.
TO PAY AN OLD SCORE
Dickinson Will Let Pagan
Nominate the Sheriff and
He Will Name Next Po-
lice Commissioner.

1t is rumored that the Prosecutors de-
iectives are out getting evidence against
gambling for the purpose of making life
unpleasant for Chief of Police Murphy,
whom Colonel Dickinson is anxious to
worry.
This would indicate that the relations
between the Colonel and Prosecutor Err
VIZ. are a little more cordial now than
they have been in the past.
1t is said that the Prosecutor has hired
two men in addition to his regular staff
to ASSIST in the work of making trouble
for the police department.
There is no doubt in Republican circles
that Colonel Samuel D. Dickinson is
camping on the trail of Chief of Police
Benjamin F. Murphy, and proposes to
have his scalp dangling from the ridge
pole of his political wigwam in company
with the many others which bear testi-
mony to the Colonel's prowess on the po-
litical war path. Just what Chief Muir
ply did to Colonel Sam is spoken of only
in whispers among those who pretend to
know all about it, but enough has been
allowed to come to the ears of outsiders
to make it positive that that something
was deep, CALLING and lasting.
CANNOT BE DEPOSED.
OF course Colonel Sam realizes as well
as anyone else that Chief Murphy cannot
be deposed from his Office as chief with
out some long Improbable and harassing
litisat ton. as he is firmly intrenched be-
hind the veteran act. Neither can he be
reached by the retirement act, as several
years must elapse yet before he arrives
at the required age. But there is an
other way much easier and just as eff
fectiye Chief Murphy knows all about
il. as lie made its acquaintance some
years ago in the days Of Christy P.
Smith.
According to the plan which the fertile
brain Of the Colonel has evolved and
upon which he proposes to act, Mayor
Mark Pagan is to be allowed to name
the candidate FOR Sheriff, presumably
Young Bobby Carey, in return for which
Colonel Dickinson is to have the naming
of tie member of the Police Board to
succeed Dr.. John ID. McGill, when his
term expires next January. This, OF
course. will be man in whom the
Colonel has the most explicit confidence
and who with Commissioner Mitchell will

ARCHIBALD'S STATUS.
Samuel Archibald is only captain in
the Police Department detailed to do the
work of inspector. When Colonel Sam
obtains control of the Board he is to be

Captain John Cody is to be a bona-nde'
no-mistakc inspector. Through him
