CHILDREN TO BLAME
John Bilinski who Ran Them Down
Is Discharged by Justice Hoos.

John Biliski, of No. 345 Henderson
street. while driving his baker wagon on
Henderson near Steuben streets, yester-
day afternoon ran down Albert Wetch-
eld, three years of age, and Vonda
Wetchfield, age years, of No. 1923 Hem
derson street, who were crossing the
street at that point. The youngest, Al
bert, of the two children was slightly in
jured about the head, and the girl also
slightly injured about the body.
This morning in the First Criminal
Court Biliski was arranged before JUS
tiee Hoos, he pleaded guilty of running
over the children, but claimed that he
was not at fault, as the two children ran
directly in front of his horse, and that
he was unable to prevent the accident.
Doctor Mendelsohn, this morning, said
that the children were out of danger, and
Justice Hoos. after hearing testimony in
the case, discharged Biliski. The father
of the children then wanted to bring a
civil suit against Biliski. and Justice
Hoos referred him to civil court

LOOK OUT FOR THIS FELLOW
Slick SwindIer victimizing Board-
ing House Keepers ON the Heights.

A slick petty boarding house swindler
has been operating in the lower Hudson
City section with considerable success
during the last few days. Suave of man
ner, of gentlemanly appearance and tell
ing an easily credited story, he has sue
ceeded in obtaining small amounts OF
money from a number OF boarding house
keepers, only one of whom was not
ashamed to report the matter to the po-
lice.
This was Mrs. Dora Heinzman, of SIS
Pavonia avenue, who told Captain John
Kelly, of the Oakland avenue station
house last night how on Saturday after
noon the glib-tongued swindler had sue
ceeded in inducing her to part with one
dollar on the representation that the ex-
pressman with his trunks in the wagon
was outside and he had only 65 cents in
change with which to pay the charge of
s150.
The fellow exhibited a roll of bills ap-
parently of large denominations, and
asked Mrs. Heinzman to loan him So cents
with which to pay the expressman She
had nothing smaller than dollar bill,
which she at once handed to the swind-
Ter, who gave her receipts for it re-
marking that he liked to do business in
a business-like manner.
Mrs Heinzman says that several wag
ons were standing in the street at the
time. and she concluded that one of them
was the express wagon in question. The
swindIer, she said, had called some time
before while she was out, and had arrang
ed with her husband to take board. He
said he was lineman for the traction
company Neither the new boarder nor
his trunks arrived.
The description of the fellow given by
Mrs Heinzman to the police was as fol-
lows:-About 45 years of age, tall and
stout, light complexion, blue eyes, smooth
face. He wore a black suit and black
slouch hat. Both of his shoes were cut.
as if for bunions.
The police are on the lookout for him,
and it is expected that he will soon re-
sumo operations in another part Of the
city.

NO DAMAGE FROM THE GROCER
Mrs. Clark's Suit for Her Som Thrown
Ont by the Jury.

It took the jury in the Circuit Court less
than a minute after the conclusiin of the
trial yesterday afternoon to return a yer-
dict for the defendant in the suit Of Mrs.
Annie De Clark. as next fried of her
minor son. Nelson De Clark, against
Samuel Kriegel, grocer, Of No. l54 Mon
ticello avenue.
The plaintiff asked $4,000 damages for
injuries alleged ii have been received by
her son through being struck by the de-
fendant with a hatchet handle on April II
of last year.
Lawyer William H. Speer, Jr., who re-
presented Kriegel. showed by number
of witnesses that young De Clark had
headed a gang Of youths Of the neighbor-
hood to "clean OUT Kreigel's store, and
had sustained his injuries through the de-
fendants forcible objections to the
cleaning out process. It was also
shown that on the night before De Clark
had invited a number of his friends to
attend what he termed a Jew funeral
at Kriegels place.
Instead, young De Clark came near rid
ing at the head of a funeral cortege him
self, for his arm was broken and he was
otherwise injured in the melee. Kreigel
was indicted for assaulting the boy, but
on proving the facts above stated was
promptly acquitted by jury In the Gem
eral Sessions Court.

Dental one and that the establishment
of another public house would disturb the
peace and queit of the neighborhood.

tered against schillings proposed place.

"The News" Wins It's
Fight for Flowers
In City Hall
Beds.
COON PAGAN COMES DOWN
Announces This Morning
That the Plants VIII
Be Set Out as
Usual.
WEAK EXPLANATION
WEAK EXPLANATION
Mayor Says He Was Only Try
ing to Save the Peo-
ple's Money.

'rrhe News has won its fight for flow"
ers in the four beds in the lawns about
the City Hail. Mayor Pagan has begun
to recede from his original position and
now announces that his only opposition
to the planting of flowers was the way
the work was done. The method was to
give the job to that concern who could do
the work best, in the estimation of Gus
todian Datz. Mayor Pagan now says the
job should be given by contract awarded
after bids had been received. In this way
he hopes to have the work done this year
for less money than 1t has heretofore.
Custodian Datz has decided to give up
the whole matter and allow events to take
Their course. He lost all interest in the
subject this morning and refused to talk
about the subject.
Comptroller Hough, who is member of
the City Hall Commission. said this
morning.
.The flowers will be planted in time,
bur we have decided to advertise for bids
and award the job by contract. We hope
to have it done for less than it has cost
in the past
City Treasurer Ely. also a City Hail
Commissioner. said:-
"The flowers will be planted. We have
decided on that, but we will do the matter
more in accordance with business methods
than it has been done heretofore
Mayor Pagan smiled when he was asked
about the matter. He said:-
1.-THE flowers have caused great deal
of unnecessary excitement Heretofore
the plots have been planted twice in a
season. Early in the spring pansies were
planted, and later other flowers were adj
ded. This cost the city $500. Commission
er Datz told me that. We are now going
to plant all the flowers at once. and the
work will be done by contract. All work
that costs $500 should be done by contract.
No one need worry about the flowers
The victory of "The News" will be
hailed with pleasure by the people of the
city generally. The lawns and flower
beds about the City Hall have all been
looked upon as the ctnral beauty spot of
the city. and many were the regrets caus-
ed by the news that they were to be neg
lected hereafter. 1t was the general ex-
preston of this feeling that led to the
reversal of the Mayors decision. and now
no time will be lost in planting the beds.
