WISE GUYS.
Excise Commissioners Will
Wait for Courts Decision
Before Revoking Cur
rams License Again

The Excise Board had short meeting
after long caucus last night. The
Commissioners passed few claims and re-
fused to grant any licenses or make any
transfers because the applications had
not been advertised FIVE days DIS required
by law. The advertisement was one day
shy on account of Thanksgiving day,
when no local paper was published.
1t was expected that the Commission
ers would adopt resolution last night
revoking saloon license granted to
James Curran. They revoked it once
before without giving him hearing, and
he certioraried their. action to the Su-
preme Court for review. This decision
has not been handed down by the Court.
Realizing that the revocation was Illegal
the Commissioners concluded to legaliae
their action week ago by giving Curran
a hearing AS the matter was in court
the saloonkeepcr refused to pay any at
tention to their demand to appear before
them. The Commissioners took turns in
giving testimony against the saloon in
Curran's absence in the presence of one
another as judges. Then they solemnly
reserved decision.
1t was said last night that the Com
missioners had decided it would be dis
Greet in them to wait until after the SUI
preme Court decision is handed down be-
fore revoking the license for the second
time.

TAXES ARE Due.
About $4,000 Paid in
During Two Hours Rush
This Morning.

There was a great rush at City Col
lector Robert Davis's office this morning
OF people who were anxious to pay their
taxes at the earliest possible moment
and take advantage of the rebate of
twelve per cent. per annum on the
amounts, between the time of payment
and December 20.
The first taxes were paid at 8 o'clock
when the office was opened. At that
hour big crowd, principally women,
was standing in the main corridor of the
City Hall with plethoric purses in their
hands. There was much rivalry to get
rid of money first
The clerks in the Tax Board office who
are slated to join the City Collectors
clerks at the official guillotine ON Janu-
airy, | assisted Mr.. Davis's capable staff
IN accommodating the tax payers. All
hands wore kept extremely busy until the
clock struck twelve and the office closed.
The tax bills were given out on appli-
cation III the room of the Board of APP
peals. Then the taxpayers got in line
anu filed into the City Collectors office,
Where they We're presented their bills
to the clerks at the windows representing
the different sections of the city
AS soon as person got possession of
his tax bill he studied it carefully and
expressed his or her feelings by scowls
or smiles as the case might be. AL
though the rate, $27 so, is twenty points
lower than for the fiscal year ending to-
morrow, it was noticed that there were
many scowls and uncomphmentary re-
marks for tho benefit of Mayor Fagan's
Tax Board, which had jacket up valua-
tions,, thus raising the amount of taxes
due.
who took in all the money, said this
afternoon that about $4,000 had been
areceiyed during the two hours rush.
The largest amount paid in by any one
taxpayer was check for So 900 from
the Lorillard Tobacco Company.
The rush will continue Monday from
8 A. M. to 4 p. NJ.

Commissioners will join me. BY this
means the city will not be out and the
men will be paid, so you see am really
magnanimous in being willing to help
defray the cost of Republican misman-
agement.
THE satisfaction the people have de-
rived from this Republican administra-
ton remains to be seen by their vote at
the next Mayoralty election. | do not
think that the shortage in the salary ac-
count is due to sin of commission on
the part of the Republican majority, but
to a sin of omission"
The only other meeting transacted at
last nights meeting was the ordering Of
a warrant to be drawn on the City
Treasurer for a transfer of S6S9, 81 from
the salaries account to the pension fund
and a request to the Board of Finance
for transfer from the account of gen.
eral claims of 1872 to the pension fund
also. After the pay warrants are drawn
this month there will be $1.90 in cash

SON DEAD TWO YEARS.
Wealthy Germans Learn Their
Son Perished in North Ger
man Lloyd Fire.

Clerk Tucker of the Hoboken Health
Board forwarded to the German Consul
at New York today records of the death
of Jacob Stretter, a wealthy young Ger
man who was among the victims of the
North German Lloyd pier fire. Stretter
was the SON of one of the wealthiest
merchants in Berlin, and his death was
not heard of by his relatives until a short
time ago.
Young. Stretter was wavward and fre-
auently left home for months at a time.
He sailed from Berlin two months before
the pier fire in Hobaken and was on
the dock looking over the ship that was
to take him back home when he met his
death. Identification was established by
means of trinkets found on the clothing
and he was buried in Flower Hill Ceme-
terry with the other victims of the fire.
When his parents learned of his death
they immediately communicated with
the. German Consul and asked him to
verify the fact

RECORDS REPLY
Brief Presented in the Single
Headed Street and
Water commis-
sioner Act.
SAYS BILL WAS NOT SPECIAL
Defends Absolute Veto Power
of the Mayor and Claims
Title Is Not Detective.
SAYS BILL WAS NOT SPECIAL

Corporatitn Counsel George Il. Record
has prepared his brief in the certiorari
suit brought by Colonel Il. G. Smith
against Mayor Fagan's Single Headed
Street and Water Commission act. The
brief of Congressman Allan L. McDer-
mott for Colonel Smith was presented
few days ago and summary of it ap-
peared in "The News
In answer to the attack ON the validity
of the act that its title was defective,
Mr. Record says
The answer to this objection is that
the title of the act provides for defining
the powers and duties of the new Street
and Water Commissioner created by the
act. lnasmuch as many of these powers
and duties must necessarily exist in
some one or other of the boards con-
stituting the municipal government in
each city of the first class, it follows
that the vesting of these powers in this
new official by necessary implication re-
moves them from the different boards or
officers in whom. they are now vested.
To the extent of such removal the said
boards or officers would be abolished,
and if this act vests all of the powers of
board, or an official, in the new street
and water commissioner created by the
act, it would, by necessary implication,
abolish said board in effect, if not in
terms.
MAYORS VETO POWER.
1T is further urged against the va
lidity of the act that the title is not
sufficiently broad to indicate the abso-
lutte veto power given to the Mayor of
the city over ordinances which go INTO
effect. by act of the new Street and
Water Commissioner This part of the
brief of prosecutors counsel is practi-
callyfa criticism of the wisdom of the
Legislature in so circumscribing the
powers of the new commissioner. If It.
is legal to abolish or limit the powers of
officers, boards and commissioners exer-
.cising powers granted By an act to other
officers or boards, it is certainly legal
to increase such powers,
NOT A SPECIAL ACT.
Against the contention that it is a
special act and therefore unconstitu-
tional, Mr.. Record advances the argu-
ment that the act having to deal with
cities which are now iii the first class
and having one form of government, and
also with cities which may come into
that class having different form of
government, has used appropriate lam
guage to apply to differept conditions"

SMUCGLER's SECRET.
Witness Tells How Contraband
Tobacco Gets Through This
Port.

The examination before United States
Commissioners Russin Hoboken yesterday
afternoon of the six men arrested in Ho-
boken last Saturday in connection with
the smuggling of $4,000 worth of tobac-
SO furnished the customs officials who
figured in the case with disclosures of an
interesting nature.
Rosken Burg, a seaman on the North
German Lloyd liner friedrich der Crosse.
swore that the tobacco had been brought
to this country from Germany ON that
ship, and not, as the customs men sup
posed, on the Phoenix liner st. Mich
OlaS.
Burg testified that the tobacco was
concealed tween decks and that he and
Henry Herckmann, a steward on the
Eredlch der Crosse, We're ordered to
lighter loaded with salt by Oyer-sfeward
Frietsche. They Were promised fifty
pounds of tobacco each, he said. for
assisting in the smuggling After the to-
baccO had been thrown to the lighter
it was taken off by small boat in wait
ing near the liner. Burg said that he
and Herckmann then Went ashore, where
they were met by Frietsche and told to
go to Hudson Square basin and assist in
unloading the tobacco from the small
boat. They met the boat and were load.
ing the tobacco on to truck with three
OF the other prisoners when the police
swooped down upon them Burg didn't
know anything about the second small
boat which the police learned had been
overturned in coming from New York.
F'rietsche, the Over-steward referred to.
left on one of the Holland American lin
ers after the arrests We're made. and
the customs people don't believe they
will be able to have him apprehended.
The examination of John Smith, who
was arrested on suspicion ten hours after
the other prisoners had been taken TO
police headquarters, failed to establish
his connection with the smuggling and
he was discharged
The five other prisoners Were held in
81, 1000 bail, each for trial before the
Federal Court
Customs Roundsman Driscoll said af
ter the examination that he believed
Burg's story. He expressed the opinion
that large quantities of tobacco have
been smuggled into this country on ships
of the North German Lloyd line.
1--WE have had these liners under sus-
picion for some time" he said s.but never
believed the smuggling was being ear
ried on to such an extent as th;s casa
has revealed. A close watch will he
maintained on all Lloyd ships in the
future"
Driscoll added that he believed most
OF the tobacco smuggled on the liners
had been taken in small boats from Ho-
boken and unloaded in New York.

SOUTH BORE BEGUN

Work in the south bore of the Hudson
River trolley tunnel was started yester-
day. A gang of laborers were put. to
work clearing out the mouth of this bore
and to make preparations for active
work. 1t is almost. twenty years since
the south bore has been worked 1t has
been dug through on the Jersey side al
most three hundred feet.
The New York side has not been dug
as far.
ALMOST TO NEW YORK.
The north bore,S which is being worked
daily, is almost through to the New York
side. Less than one hundred feet remain
to be drilled out. The jacks and drills
in this bore are operated now by 1900
pounds water pressure, instead of COM
pressed air. Compressed air, however,
is still used in the tunnel for. the labor
ers to work by. The air pressure has
been changed from thirty-eight to thirty
one pounds. During the past week DR..
Loomis says their has not been one case
of bends"
trolley tunnel it would take laborers and
engineers about thirty-two minutes to go
from the top of the shaft on the Jersey
side to the head of the tunnel distance
of over 1000 feet. The men had to walk
through. The men can reach the head
ing in twelve minutes now. They descend
the shaft and go through in a car worked
by cable.
1t is a vehicle about ten feet long and
three feet wide with three seats on each
side and compartment for carrying
tools. The car is painted white and is
called the white Ghost" 1t arrived
at the tunnel few days ago and is al
ready in USE
There are about 130 men working in
the tunnel in shifts of six hours each a
day.
TALK OF A UNION.
The men are thinking about organizing
a union. President Cornelius Ford of
the State Federation of Labor will make
visit to the tunnel in a day or two and
talk with the men on organization. They
believe that it will help them to organize
The organization will also prevent the
employment in futuresef ~anything but
local labor. Recently an effort was made
to discharge some of the men and employ
New Yorkers.
