CHIEF DONOVAN CONTENT
Rumors of Shake-up Do Not
Worry the Head of the
Hoboken Force.


The annual rumors circulated in Ho-
boken about shake-up in the Police
Department are not perturbing Chief
Charles Donovan or the other officers
said to be affected BY the contemplated
changes.
Chief Donovan sail today that his re-
tirement was optional, and that he does
not contemplate relinquishing office.
He is protected, he said, by a bill
passed by the Legislature during Cover
nor Abbett's term. The BILL which was
presented by the late William d. DAILY,
was drawn by Allan L. McDermott, and
provides that a chief of police upon
reaching sixty years of age and serving
twenty years in the department, may be
retired upon his own application on half
pay. 1t was introduced for Chief Dono-
vans special protection, it was said, at
the time.
Captain Tanning, of the Second Pre-
cinct, and Sergeant Marnell of Head
quarters could both contest their retire
ment on the ground that they have not
reached the age limit.

Indignation was expressed all through

WOULD NOT PAY FORDOCTOR
Pitiful Tale Told by Sixteen
Year Old Step Daughter
This Morning.
WOULD NOT PAY FOR RDOCTOR

One of the most brutal and inhuman
cases of cruelty that has been brought
to light in this city in years was heard
in the First Criminal Court this morn
ing when Frank Gieguzynski, of No. 329
Grand street, was arraigned on charge
of cruelty to and abandonment of his
family.
Gieguzynski were his stepdaughter,
Theresa Miller, sixteen years Of age,
and Assistant Poormaster Murray.
There was no necessity for any further
testimony being taken, as the tale told
by the young stepdaughter was suffi-
cient. Her story, confirmed by the in
vestigations of Assistant Poormaster
Murray, was as follows:-
Judge, this man is my stepfather, and
for over three months has not done any
thing to help mother support the other
children nor will he even let mother and
in every way to make it hard for US.
Mother had a little baby two weeks ago
and it is now dying almost of starvation
and sickness. He would not pay for a
doctor and only was willing to pay 81
for a midwife. Mother wanted some
ammonia to smell two days after the last
baby came and asked him for FIVE cents
to buy it with. He refused and the mid
wife had to give her the money
THAT'S not the truth, " broke in Gle
guzynski. Il gave my wife a dollar.''
That was the first day your honor
answered Theresa, Il took it and bought
some beef to make tea for mother and
spent the balance Of the money for med
icine for her, he has not given cent
since.
Il work for Mrs. Rnpp, who keeps a
bakery at No. $40 Grove street, and
make $3.50 week. Every night Mrs.
Rupp gives me two loayes of bread and
some buns to take home. There are
seven of us all together. am sixteen,
and the others are eleven, ten, eight, five
and one year old, and the baby is only
two weeks. Papa goes out and buys
meat, bread, salmon and beer. and then
sits down eats it in front of us, and if
we ask for any, kicks us. Mother used
to wash and iron before she was taken
sick, and with what I made we were
able to get along. When she gets well
again we will be all right, if he would
keep away from us. had place where
made seven dollars a week, but the con-
cern moved away. If could secure a
position where could make more money
would be awful happy, although
would hate to leave Mrs. Rupp, who has
been awful kind to me"
Gieguzynski admitted most of the tes-
| timony, and was ordered to pay 81 q
week to his wife and furnish a bond fol
$3.50. This bond he will most likely be
unable to furnish, so will spend a year
in the County Jail. He now makes from
| $50 to $50 in the employ of the Lehigl
Valley Railroad Company. He had ter
dollars in his pocket, which was taker
from him and sent to his family.

regular monthly meeting last night at
the Mercer street club house. First Vice
President Peckham presided in the abb
sence of Colonel Robert G. Smith, the
president. About one hundred and TWEEN
ty-fye members were present.
That great interest is manifested by

out by the fact that forty-two candi-
dates, proposed at the last meeting,
were elected to membership and fifteen
other Democrats signifed their desire to
join.
Former Mayor Edward Hoos received
a welcome from the Davis boys, who
are still rejoicing over the glorious vic

him for speech and he responded.
Mr.. Hoos congratulated the members
upon the effective work they did for the
party in the recent contest and prophe-
sled the election of Democratic Mayor

sand majority.
Freeholder Jacob E. w. Kuper of Ho-
boken, former Alderman Eugene Kin
kead and Patrick Fl. O'Neill also spoke.
r The association has decided to have

son. A stag will be the attraction of
the annual meeting on December II. A

AFTER PILSON.
Union Labor Protests to
School Board Against
Giving Him Con-
tracts.

Joseph Fl. Pilson, the printer, who
doesn't believe in employing men at liv-
ing wages, was among the bidders who
presented proposals for printing and sta-
tionery at last nights meeting of the
School Board. He was numerically
scored by a delegation Of labor men, who
protested to the directors against award
ing any contracts to him.
James ]. Finn, Of Typographical Union
No. 81, asked the Board to consider the
question Of pauper labor in making their
awards. He charged that one of the
bidders Pilson) employed boys in his
printing office and paid such low wages
to adults that it was impossible for them
to live decently. In Jersey City a thor
ough printer could demand and get SIS
or over, he said, but this was out of the
question in the non-union shop to which
he referred. He said that organized la
Dor had its rights as citizens and taxpay-
ers.
He introduced John Conray, who, he
said, would prove the incompetency of
the bidder by printing and errors in the
work for the Board of Education which
he performed last year.
Mr.. Conroy picked up book, sTrea-
tise of Education" which he declared he
found to be book of errors He
pointed out many typographical errors on
the different pages and said that no one
could expect young boys to do good work.
Pilson said that 1t chad been rumored
around among the saloons for some
time" that the union would make trouble
for him. He declared that his workmen
were graded according to their ability
in the matter off wages He threw some
bouquets at the work turned out in his
office.

HODOKEN OBJECTS
Testimony in Her Suit to
Gertiorari Pagan's Tax
Juggle.

Testimony was taken this morning in
the office of WilliameD Edwards in the
suit which the city of Hoboken has be-
gun against Jersey City. Acting for Ho-
boken Mr.. Edwards obtained an order to
show cause why the returns made by the
Jersey City Tax Board by the State
Board of Assessors should not be remov-
ed into the Supreme Court for review.
Mr.. Edwards claims that because of
the high valuations placed by the Jersey
City Tax Board on street railways and
other corporations Jersey City will un-
der the franchise act get more than her
fair share of such taxes and a portion
which should go to Hoboken.
At the hearing this morning Mr.. Ed
wards and John F. Minturn, corporation
attorney of Hoboken, appeared for that
city, while Jersey City was represented
by Corporation Counsel George L. Rec
ord and Corporation Attorney John
Wahl Queen. The first witness examined
was Secretary Young of the Hudson
County Gas Company. The Pagan Tax
Board this year has increased the valua-
tion of this company's property in Jersey
City from s829.6G0 to S1,2OS,00. Mr.
Young testified that this was an unjust
increase and clear generalization of his
company's property in the city.
He went into details of the cost of
and quoted prices to show that it was less
than value placed upon it by the Tax
Board.
Mr.. Record is an officer of the Utica
Water Company and believes that he
knows something about the cost of pipe
He cross-examined Mr.. Young at length
on the subject of cast iron pipe cost. He
asked the wit1ess what was the market
price of cast iron pipe and he said $26.
Mr.. Record said that was not so, as his
company had recently bought quantity
and paid about $50 for it.
Il don't mean to say that you lie" has
tily exclaimed Mr.. Record, "but think
you are mistaken"
The witness only smiled at Mr.. Record
and proceeded with is testimony. Mr..
Young sono made it clear that there
was considerable difference in the price
of pip for immediate dlyry and that
ordered year or six months ahead.
He also showed that his company's
purchasing agent bought for forty differ
ent companies and that the order Of his
company was increased probably tenfold
| when it went to the manufacturer. Be
| side this, the company always ordered
| long in advance and not for immediate
| delivery, all Of which contributed toward
1 giving them the pipe at the lower figure.
Among those who were present in the
Court House and viii testify during the
day were Tax Commissioner Robert
Hoos and Albert 6. Carlton, president Of
! the United Electric Company.
