PROBABLE STEPS.
One who knows every phase of the
case said to News" reporter to-day
that every effort will be made to settle
the question quietly and amicably with
out having recourse to litigation. The
main thing is first to ascertain the value
of the bridges and roadway and that will
be a difficult matter. The Plankroad
Company has put no value on its prop

Dies NOT TO WORK
Fifty Year Old Man Hangs
Himself Rather Than
Start In to Earn
Money.

Charles f. Henbeyick. 40 years old,
the son of wealthy wine merchant in
Germany, committed suicide this morn
ing by hanging himself to bedpost at
his boarding house. corner of Ino and
Cliff streets. West Hoboken.
He had long been supported by his
father, who regularly sent him remit
tances, which We're so large that he was
never obliged to go to work. Henbeviek
lived well, and drank heavily. He often
said that he intended to have a good
time just as long as the money came SO
easily.
The son received a letter yesterday
which caused him much uneasiness. 1t
came from his father and contained in
structions for him to open branch wine
office in this country. He was to be the
general manager, with full authority To
hire lot of clerks and do business on a
large scale.
The thought of work disturbed Hem
beyick and he drank heavily in order to
steady his nerves. He said the idea Of
starting to work at his age was out OF
the question, and could not be consid-
cred for one moment.
This morning he decided to escape
from the horrors of work. He tied his
neck to a bedpost. kicked a chair out
from under himself and was found with
his knees almost touching the floor.

To the Editor of ''The Jersey City
News':-
The letter of Secretary NJ. Casey in
today's News is correct. The false
economy. of Mayor NJ. Pagan will surely
work suffering among the families Of
street laborers. Merchants will feel the
loss of trade from this humble class of
citizens because in many instances they
will be compelled to support them to a
certain extent.
Where will this end? This is not a
humorous affair but very serious for all
classes of citizens. 1t looks now that if
a laborer is starving for want of work
and appeals to Mayor Pagan, he will
order free bath for the hungry families
and at their funeral order park con-
cert for their eternal peace. o, sancta
simplicita!
The Mayor spends 5000 for music
but not cent for work Or bread. The
public should arise and make their de-
mand on the Mayor. This may have the
result of getting for him some good sound
advice from the Evening, Journal

EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS


Mayor Fagan's ayowal of complete
submission to the Evening Journal and
his plain statement that he will place
the interests of his disgracefully parti-
san organ ahead of public rights and
principles of fair play, is the sole topic
Of conversation throughout the city. The
Mayor is condemned for his position by
Democrats and Republicans alike. with
out reserve, except in a few cases where
members of his Board of Managers re-
fuse to be seen, not caring to place them
selves in ridiculous positions by support
ing the Mayor or appearing to oppose
their partys little idol by expressing
their true feelings. Thus they avoid in
teryiews Chief Of these is Postmaster
Wanser, who is in an exceptionally fine
position to tell what would be proper and
what improper in Mayor, as he was
himself Mayor for FIVE years. The diplo-
matte Postmaster is too good a politician
to be led to talk.
Never in the history of this city has
any Mayor taken the stand of Mayor
Pagan. Always heretofore public officials
have realized that their acts were public
and that what should be known by any
of the public should be known by all the
public. N
There is neither precedent nor parallel
EpF Mayor Fagan's course. Mayor Sey-
pzpur of Newark, for instance, was elect
ed on the Democratic ticket after the
most bitter fight He was bitterly oppos-
ed in the organs of the opposition party;
but when the campaign was over and
he was elected, he always made it rule
to give to all the papers alike all the
news of his Office. This he does because.
as he says. he is the Mayor of the en-
tire city and not of any political party
or faction of citizens
When Mayor Hoos was in office the
Journal was given the same news at
the same time that .The News" got it.
Mayor Hoos was man with full re-
alization of his relations to the people,
and he made every effort to have all
know just what he was doing. On one
occasion. when an important conference
was being held, gentleman present
asked that it be kept private, and the
press excluded. Mayor Hoos then came
out fat for publicity, and he was warm
ly praised for his stand. Mayor Wanser,
Republican, always gave the Demo-
cratic papers the same news that he gave
to the Journal and always just as
soon as he gave it to the organ of his

Commissioner Defy Pub
lie Opinion on the
Eve of Protest.

Messrs Heist & Young have attempt
ed to steal a march on the indignant
citizens of Lafayette by quickly and Sc
cretly erecting their tank Their scheme
has been hit ON the head and they are
now in danger of trouble for trespassing
on city property.
The portion of land where the oil COM
pany prepared to place their 1000 gallon
tank is at the uncut intersection of For
est and Woodward streets.
This land belongs to the Central Rail
road, but as it is a highway on the city
caps cannot be used by them against the
municipalities objections, which might,
at any time, wish to cut through the
streets named.
Heist & Young, who claimed to have
leased the ground from the Central, have
already dug an excavation there and had
their 1000 gallon tank at hand yester-
day ready on large fat car to place
in the hole.
Commissioner Anthony Hauek hearing
Of this scheme, notified the Street and
Water Department. Engineer Worten-
dyke, of the Boards staff, at once made
surveys and found, as stated, that the
spot was where the city had domain
rights. The police We're Immediately
communicated WITH and Chief Murphy
dispatched policeman to arrest the ma
son in charge of the work unless he i'm
mediately desisted. This he at once did.
Manager Fairbanks of the Heist &
Young people, who was on the spot, be-
came very sulky and refused to say a
word. He left at once for New York.
1t is reported that at the meeting of
the Street and Water Board on next
Tuesday the matter will come up for
official action. Corporation Counsel Rec
ord will probably prepare a statement
of the legal status of the matter. In the
meantime the underhand attempt to do,
by sneaking, what could not be accom-
plished in broad daylight, has come to
grief.

Mayor Pagan has honored with glance

on January / over the failure of Mayor
Pagan to place Mr.. Landrine, and keen
politicians think Mayor Pagan has a
rare chance TO square himself.

John Weastell is a likely man because it
is said that when he was appointed to
the Board of Appeals Commission it was
only to be until Mr.. Dayton's term ex-
pired. when he was to have the place.

II tl6nk that the death of Commits

it will do his bidding if he sees fit to
make some of his bluffs good. They can
raise the money and as he has the Board

PLANK BRIDGE TROUBLE

A renewal of the trouble between the
union and non-union bridge workers was
expected on the new Paterson plank road
bridge over the Hackensack yesterday.
and by direction of Judge Blair six con-
stables were sent to the place to preserve
the peace.
The Berlin Iron Bridge Company,
which is building the bridge for the joint
Counties Of Hudson and Bergen employs
Union men, as does the sub-contractor
who is putting up the iron railing.
quantity of railing which was put to-
gether in non union shop was recently
Veceived at the bridge, and the union
men refused to erect it. A force of nom
union men was then engaged and soon
afterwards an embryo riot in which sew
eral non-unon heads were more or less
damaged took place. This was several
weeks ago, and every attempt of the
non-union w0rkmen since to resume the
work OF putting the railing in place has
been prevented and they have been driy-
er. from the bs..dge.
There being no local police at the place
these periodical disturbances were not in
terfered with, and when officers did APP
pear on the scene the members of the
assnulting party crossed the bridge into
the adjoining county, where the local PEI
lice had no jurisdiction.
At the request of Prosecutor Koester
of Bergen County constables from that
county were placed at the west end of
the bridge to prevent the work being in
terfered with. but as their jurisdiction
only extended half the length of the
bridge. the Hudson County end was left
unprotected.
Prosecutor Koester accordingly re
quested the Hudson authorities to send
men TO cooperate with the Bergen colsE-
tv constables
There was no Interference with the
