LENIEnCY FOR INGRAM
Commissioners Will Leave the
Looting Engineer to the
Tender Mercies of
Mr.. Heath.

The Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners have decided to not prosecute
Robert Ingram criminally for his self
confessed attempt to rob the city of mon
ey by padding the pay rolls and ovci-
charging for repairs done at High se4-
Vice of the Water Department. ingram
did not succeed in getting any money ur-
lawfully SO far as the Board knows
though there is an abundance of evidenee
that he tried hard.
The Board now thinks that inasmuch as
no crime was accomplished thanks to
their alertness. a criminal prosecution IS
uncalled for. They do not think that dr.
indictment could be found against the
man on the evidence they have and they
dre further led to take this stand out Of
consideration for the mans family and
mis- years. He is also a veteran of the
Civil War, and this is a cause for inclin-
alton to leniency.
The Republicans now have chance to
make good the promise made in their be-
half yesterday by Forrest A. Heath, the
Assistant Clerk of the Board of f.
nance, who is Commissioner Abernethy' IS
private auditor of Water Department ac-
counts. Mr. Heath said in unnistakable
terms that the Republicans would bring
the case to the attention Of Prosecutor
Erwin il the Democrats did not. This as
sertion was made for the purpose of
showing that the Republicans would not
shield one of their own party when
caught in wrong doing. There have as
yet been 10 steps taken by the Republi
cans and it is considered by many as
highly improbable that any will be taken
by that party.
In the City Hall Mr. Heath's assertion
was locked upon as bluff.

HENRYS A STAYER
Will Remain Councilman of
Harrison Despite His Plea
of Guilty.

Though he pleaded guilty in the QUAR-
ter Sessions Court, at Jersey City. Thurs
day, TO permitting gambling on the races
in his saloon in Harrison. Alderman Jo-
seph B. Henry. announced today that he
did not intend to resign from the Com
mon Council Of that town. Citizens Of
Harrison are nighly indignant at this.
for they felt, in view OF the facts in the
case, and from what Judge Blair said
in sentencing the Alderman, that Henry
would at once give up his seat in the
Council.
Henry, however. says that he did not
tel the Court he intended to leave the
Council. but merely to get OF the Police
Committee, of which he is chairman.
This. ne says he intends 10 do.
President Edward ]. Rice, of the oCun-
ell, who is the acknowledge leader Of the
faction that controls the town, said last
night that he would not insist on Heury's
resignation from the Council. Why he
did not say. When the charges against
Henry were first bruited. a Short tirne
ago. Mr. Rice volunteered the remark
that. if guilty, the First Ward Alderman
should get out of the Council. t is known
that word from Mr.. Rice would make
Henry change his mind.
Even if he does give up the police chair
manship, Henry win still be chairman Of
the license committee. In that capacity
last year he delayed six months in the
issuance of license certificates to the
liquor dealers of the town. The reasons
given for this action have always seemed
obscure.
Only recently, Henry. as police carr
man, assigned James McGuigan to duty
on the police force. IN this proceeding
Henry had the approval neither OF the
Police Committee or the Council Yet
MeGuigan was on the force BY yirtue
of this irregular appointment for several
He would be wearing a ptarolman's uni
form yet had it not Been for the public
clanor for his dismissal.
Henry says that he was persuaded into
asoiwing his saloon to be used as q.
gambling den He also Gays that he does
not now intend to sue former Alderman q
Patrick J. Cairns for damages for max
ing charges that such was the character
of the place.
Ii IS said in Harrison that no bets On
the races had been in Henry's place since
December IS. That day, it is asserted,
Prosecutor Erwin sent for Chief Of Police
Rodgers of Harrison to inform henry
5hat unless he stopped the gambling IN
the place he would be arrested
A warrant IS still lout for the arrest OF
Clarence Williams who left town when
he learned OF Henry's arrest. Williams
was one OF the men interested in the
pocsroosn. according TO report.
he had sthxedv the Prosecutor. Prosecu-
tor Irwin it is said, became indignant
when he learned Of this, and proposes TO
keep U9 the search for Williams.
1t is known that a number Of promI-
nent politicians Of the town exerted tnenl-
selves to get a light sentence for Henry

Chief Engineer Of the New
York Tunnel Makes a
Mysterious Admis-
sion About It.
CHIEF MURPHY TO INVESTIGATE
Deadly Material Shipped
Across the River From
Barges Which Lie Up
in This Vicinity.


The chief engineer Of the New York
Undel ground Ranis Trdnsis R lway when
asked the other day where the dynamite
used IN the tunnel work came from, said:.
1T is unloaded at a per in New York
no matter whieh-from barges wiaich are
laden with it at a point in New jersey
no matter waere.''
When Chief OF Police Murphy was asked
by a reporter for .The News his nsrn-
ing whether he knew OF any dynamite
being stored IN this city, ne SAID
Il an not aware of any dynamite being
stored within our city limits The fire
department. which has such matters in
charge, will not permit il. Some two
years ago there was a boat anchored eff
Ellis Island on a line with Communipaw
which was used as storage for dynamite
and powder It was called the powder
boat I believe the powder was at one
time landed from this boat on the Com
munipaw shore. but the practice was
stopped. I shall investigate the report.
however, and if the dynamite is stored
in this city we shall very soon eject it. =
From another source it was learned that
up to year or so ago there were two
dynamite boats moored between Ellis
Island and Communipaw. They We're
small crafts, similar TO large rowboats or
yawls. One was named the Exit and
the other the Elixir" The first name
was appropriate. The boat would certain
8ly make an exit. or assist anybody to
make theirs, in the event of the contents
exploding. The name of the other boat,
like that Of the first, was intended as a
joke.
The boats were in charge of Captain
Tenhoff. who made a comfortable fortune
transporting. the dynamite from the pow
der works somewhere up the North River
and keeping it on his boats in the bay
until it was wanted in New York and
other places.
One of of the boats, it is said, is still
used to carry the dynamite. 1t has sort
of a house built on the deck.
The Bayonne police say they know of no
place where dynamite is stored in that

Mr.. George. L. Record. who. at the Bar
Association dinner on Wednesday night,
made the sensational confession Of having
bribed a Bayonne Councilman, probably
did not stop to think at the time ne
popped his little joke that he was prac-
tically admitting having acted shame
fua part in one of the most scandalous
fgats for a municipal water contract that
mas occurred in the history of this county
The very facts of which Mr. Record mas
confessed knowledge were in 1894, the
subject of a special investigation con-
Quoted by the Hudson County Grand
Jury, and had they been revealed at that
time they would have resulted in whole
sale indictments which would have con-
neeted Mr.. Records name with scandal

AT the time referred to the city Of Bay
onne was going through the ordeal of
securing a new water supply. Only two
bids for the contract were presented. One
of these was offered by Mr.. Record and
his law partner, Mr.. Bacot. They claimed
to represent water company, but for
some reason or other the name of the
supposed company was never made pub
lie, if indeed it was ever organized. The
other bid was presented by a company
represented by w. de H. Washington.
Charles E. Clarke, James J. Mcguire Of
New York. William Rumble Of Bayonne
and T. A. Beal of Yonkerz. The gentle
men were known afterwards as the
Washington & Bean Company and later
as the New York and New Jersey Water
Company.
The Bayonne City Common Council
frst decided to secure new water sup
ply on June 6, 1898. At meeting of the
Common Council held on the above date
a new water supply committee" was APP
pointed ito examine water supplies of
neighboring cities and to ascertain wheth-
er the city could obtain supply suffi-
cient for its needs" This committee was
composed of Mayor William C. Farr,
councilmen S. A. J. Nicely, Wolfram,
FlugeI, Charles MCGEE and City Engineer

From the time the water supply ques-
ton was taken up and until it ended in
September, 1894, all sorts of rumors o.
corrupt deals between the City Council
and the water companies were afioat
Each day rumors of new deal arose
The citizens OF Bayonne held indignation
