Real Estate Men on the
Anxious Seat Till Selee-
j.. ton Is Made.
ALL HAVE LOTS TO SELL
And Everyone Is the Best
the City Can Posi-
bly, Get.


Real estate agents are naturally much
interested with the prospect Of the APP
preparation Of $5O0OO0 for a new High
School. 1t means a site, and those who
have suitable lots to offer are anxious to
know where the selection will be made.
The Board Of Education viii examine
the available sites. and then submit their
selection to the Board of Finance. Just
how to decide is ut present difficult
matter, for many officials prefer one site
and others have their own favored spot.
They all agree that the new building
should be in central part Of the city
and within easy access to teachers.
THE sites are not many, and there
won't be much trouble in determining.
said one Of the Directors today. Cost
of course must be desideratum.v
The property known as the Harrison
estate on the Hill is suggested for its
prominence and proximity to the trolley
roads, but then there is the objection Of
the West Shore freight yards al the base
of the hill with the accompanying noises
and smells TO the north Of that is an
other large tract belonging to the Realty
Trust Co.: it is in the market and is con-
fined by Hoboken avenue and Concord
streets
Then, on the Boulevard, there are two
sites named, the first being the rectangu-
lar plot of eleven lots belonging to the
estate of Charles B. Thurston. 1t has
frontages on Sip and Garrison avenues,
and is considered an excellent site for its
access by trolley or railroad. The prop
erty is in first class shape, and real es-
tate sharps say the price is very reason
able. There is a house on the property
which could be sold and moved This
Thurston site is attracting much atten-
ton
The second Boulevard strip is the Van
Reypen property, with frontages Of
several hundred feet on the Boulevard.
1t was considered when a year or two
ago schools were uppermost in the mind
of the Board of Education, but the OBJ
lection was the price.
I 1t is believed that on Bergen avenue
there will be several sites offered. one Of
which is the Winner estate. These VIII
all be considered when the money is APP
propFiated In the meantime inquiries
] are being made as to values. the Board
being desirious of selecting the very best
site for the new building.

TALE OF A CAMERA
Reformatory's Ability to See
a Joke to Be Decided.

Especial to "The Jersey City News. y
RAILWAY. May 81 1902 2-The proverbial
tempest in a teapot IS nothing compared
to the tempest in the State Reformatory
at Railway caused by little camard,
and wrath is at boiling heat.
ii seems that the Rev. ]. H. Howard.
DID,. pastor of Trinity Methodist Episco-
pay church. was about to start for the
South on sick leave, and incidentally re-
marked TO an employe of the Reformatory
something about a canlera-just what, the
employe is not quite sure, but 1t was inn
mediately reported as conveying the idea
that Dr. Howard intended to use The
camera as a means of recording his trip.
1t is breach of discipline to use the
property of the Reformatory away from
1t. and the reverend doctors reputation
hangs on the question whether he said
he was going to take the camera out to
have it repaired or whether he intended
using it for his own pleasure.
A committee of investigation has been
appointed by Superintendent Joseph Mar
tin to decide this important issue, over
which the superintendent is deeply per-
turbed.
Some claim that this is merely a scheme
to make way with the chaplain and put
another clergyman in. Ex-Governor Voor-
hees, to whom DR.. Howard refers all in
quirers, is of this opinion, and is quoted
as SAYING
''1he charge is so trivial, so unfair. that
l have volunteered to act as Dr. How
ards counsel From what can gather II
appears to be an effort to oust Or. How
ard to make way for another clergyman.

Zimmerman is the Pearsal's third base
man and he is a crack-a- jack as an anna
teur What he will be as a professional
remains to be seen. His future is now in

play five more games. They play today
at West Side Park. tomorrow al Wieden-
mayer's, Park in Newark. Monday they

MYSTERIOUS ''HE'
Ubiquitous Giver of Stolen
Goods, Who Gets Friends
in Trouble.

That mysterious Individual so often re-
ferred to by prisoners on trial as the men
who gave them stolen goods to deliver
somewhere for him was much In evidence
in the two cases tried in the Court OF
Special Sessions Thursday afternoon.
In the case of George Snlallze and Jo-
seph Smith he had given them several
paira of ACE curtains which had been
stolen from Central Railroad freight
car in the Communipaw section Of Jersey
City. OF course the defendants could not
tel. who he was, and OF course Judge
Blair did not believe their story and
promptly convicted them.
Again the unknown who has got 30
many men into trouble bobbed up serenely
In the case OF Leo McCloskey, adas
Macolowsk. He" had gwen Leo horse
which had been stolen from Frank Ker-
bielskl. of No. 1877 Steupen street, to de-
liver to a man In New York. Leo also
said he had received a quarter for his
work and was to get dollar more when
he delivered the animal at the destination
named. He only got as far as the Penn
sylvania Railroad ferry when he was ar
rested and of course missed the four
fifths Of hip compensation.

CITY A DEFENDANTS
Mayor Fagan's Buncombe
Economy Before the SUI
preme Court Next Week

On Monday the June term of the Su-
preme Court will open in the State House
at Trenton. Among the cases which will
come before the court are two in which
the city is defendant: First in import
ance is the action brought by Albert Y.
Losel, reassessor in the Water Depart-
ment LoseI was clerk in the Street
and Water Department at a salary Of
500 month, and was detailed to do
the work of a reassessor- When the
Street and Mater Board passed his sal-
ary for January last, the Mayor refused
to sign it, on the ground that as reas-
SCISSOR was paid $75 month, that same
salary should be paid to Losel, notwith-
standing the fact that he was originally
appointed clerk at a salary of 500.
The Mayor took the same course with
Losel's February salary. and the Street
and Water Board passed the claim, not
withstanding the objections Of the May
or. When City Clerk O'Donnell sent
Losers warrant to the Mayor for his sig
nature His Honor refused to sign it, and
Losel obtained from Justice Collins a
rule compelling the Mayor to show cause
why a mandamus should not issue COM
manding him to sign the warrant. The
rule is relieyeable Tuesday, when day
will be fixed for the hearing of the case.
Competent lawyers are of the opinion
that the court will direct the Mayor to
sign the warrant, and the city viii have
to pay a neat bill of costs as the price of
Mayor Fagan's buncome economy.
The other case in which the city is a
defendant, which is set down for the
June term, is that in which the United
Railroads of New Jersey or The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company is complainant.
It is an old case which has been pending
for the past two years. The city built
a sewer which it is claimed benefited the
railroad eompany's property on Third
street, and the company vas assessed
81, 1000. The company claims that il was
not benefited to that extent 5y the sewer,
and took the assessment into the Su-
preme Court on a writ of certioraro.
