The Small Banks.

| It has been the practice of dem ocratic orators and newspapers whenever any financial legislation was pending to assume that among the chief benefciaries of it would be the national banks. They have never made it clear how persons who were not bankers were going to be injured, but that the banks were going to be benefited was a sufficient argu- ment against any proposed change in the laws. There is prevailing theory not confined to any particular section of the country that there is something antagonistic between banking interests and those of the farmer and laborer.
 The New York Commercial shows that banks may be good for communi- ties. It says:
 Tt is. most gratifying to record the fact that among the opponents of the so-called 'gold-standard' act of March 19OO there is coming to be a tardy re- cognition of the practicability and wis dom of that measure. Its passage was fought chiefly by the representatives of those sections in which the minority party in the government is the stronger numerically, and it is in those same sections that the beneficial effect of the law is providing better banking facili- ties is now most plainly apparent.
 That is in the west and south. Since hn oot considerably more than one thousand hew national banks have been organ ized. all told, and about 65 per cent of the number have a capital of s5O,OOO or less. They are chiefly in the agricul- tural regions of the south and west. generally in towns of 5000 population more or less. In all probability nation al banks in most of these towns would have been impossible under the old law, but they are proving to be a boon to the agricultural sections from which they largely drew their capital and whose interests they now serve. They are de- clarcd by the comptroller of the cur rency to be well managed and as yield ing good profits to their shareholders
 'Unquestionably they will be consid- crable factors in furnishing the money for moving this seasons crops, and if all the facts could be learned, they would most likely disclose that these small banks have helped materially in keeping down the rates of interest in the agricultural south and west.
 We may expect on the reassembling of congress a renewal of opposition to the Fowler banking bill that was in evidence last spring, and it will natur- ally come from the same quarter that furnished the opposition to the gold standard bill. But sooner or later the wisdom of the pending measure will be demonstrated, just as it has been in the case of that opening the way for the small banks

The Tucson Star believes that the people of Arizona. including the Salt River valley, should concentrate their construction of reservoir, and should agree upon the best site. The Star facilitates the act of agreement by in- forming us that the San Carlos site is far and away ahead of any so far un- der consideration. With this informa- tion at hand, what is the use of delay ing the matter any longer?

SINGULAR CASE OF CRUELTY.

A singular case is that of Patrick Logue. of Altoona, Pa, who has been prosecuted for cruelty to animals. his offense consisting of excessive kind ness. Logue is so fond of an intelli- gent horse owned by him that he will not allow the horse to work or even be exercised. For four years the horse has not been out of the stable. Logue feeds it and cares for it tenderly, but he has steadfastly refused to take it out. Consequently the Humane So- ciety has brought suit to force him to give the horse some work, or exercise it daily at least.

SUNDAY BASEBALL GAMES
Assemblyman StilIweII Tells
Church People That They
Are Innocent Amusement.

Assemblyman Peter Stillwell, of Bay
onne, made an address last evening at a
mass meeting called by number of
church people in that city for the purpose
of discussing the Sunday baseball ques-
ton. The meeting took place in the Ber-
gen Point Baptist Mission and was at
tended by many clergymen.
While Assemblyman Stillwell is
church member, he did not endorse the
views of the ministers who are against
Sunday ball playing. He said that Sum
day ball games. where good order was
maintained, were, in his opinion, inno-.
cent amusements, and not injurious to
the morals of those who attended them.
The Rev Charles 7. MaeGregor, Of
the Bergen Poi ntBaptist Church; the
Rev Frederick Maurice Kirkus, of Trin-
ity Protestant Episcopal Church, and the
Rev William II. Boocock, of the First
Reformed Church. all opposed Mr.. Stills
wells views. 1t was evident. howevers
that the majority of those in the audi
ence were in favor with Mr.. Stillwell,
as the resolution prepared by the clergy-
men against the game were not put OF q
vote. In the audience were many mem=
bers of the West Side Athletic Club.
Mr.. Stillwell is q Democrat and is a.
candidate for third term in the Assem-

Three Men Charged With
Murder in Scranton
Caught in This
City.
CHIEF MURPHY ACTS PROMPTLY
Train Slowed Up at d. L. &
w. r. Tunnel and Officers
Arrested Surprised
Trio.

Henry Stinrault, Tom Treston and
Henry Schubach are in cells in the Ho-
boken police headquarters, charged with
numbering a man in Scranton, Pa.
This morning Chief of Police Murphy
received a message from the Sheriff of
Scranton at eleven O'Clock, asking him
to arrest the men, who were then on their
way to the city. The train he said was
due in Hoboken at 12.15. The Chief
sent Captain Kelly, Detective Clark and
a patrolman to arrest the men. Thinking
that the train would slow up at the
tunnel on the West Side of the Hill
the police officers were ordered to board
the train. The Chief was right. The
train did slacken its speed and the off,
GERS clambered aboard.
EASILY RECOGNIZED.
From the description of the trio sent
to Chief Murphy there was no difficulty
in picking them out. They were COM
pletely surprised when the officers snap
ped police bracelets ON their wrists. The
train then proceeded to Hoboken, where
the men were turned over to Chief Dono-
van. who will hold thm until the Scran-
ton authorities come for them. They
wouldn't talk about the crime laid at
their doors.

AFRAID They
WILL not PAY
So Board Of Finance Holds
Up Improvement Asked
for by Property
Owners.
GARFIELD AVENUE PAVING
Contract Awarded a Mont b
Ago, But Commissioners
Would Not Concur
Citizens Indig-
nant.
GARFIELD AVENUE PAVING

Property owners along the line of Gar
field avenue are puzzled over the action
Of the Board of Finance in holding up
the work of improving that avenue be-
tween the Newark and New York Rail-
road and Bayyiew avenue, distance of
3,400 feet.
The Board of Street and Water Com
missioners awarded the contract for the
Improvement to the NJ. L. Connolly Con-
tracing Company on August rs and
since that date the Finance Commits
sioners have failed TO concur.
Chief Engineer c. A. Van Keuren es-
timated that the probable cost of the i'm
provement would be So, 3,9S6.96. The to-
tai benefits were estimated at $32 95o-33,
and the amount for which the city would
be assessed was S1,026.67.
The start has been graded and tagged
and no known reason existed why the
Board of Finance should place an obsta-
Gle in the way of carrying out the work
Of paving the street. Property owners
asked for the improvement in the usual
way and big majority signified their
willingness to bear the EXPENSE
1t is said that the Republican Commits
sioners held up the contract just be-
cause they got an idea in their heads
that the property. owners really didn't
know what they wanted and would kick
about paying the assessments when the
time arrived for them to hand up their
share. tt is understood that the Com
missioners do not make Il practice of
questioning the intentions >of property
owners who make applications for inn
provements as ample protection to the
city against hss is provided by the law
which makes unpaid assessments lien
against the property
A Finance Commissioner in a recent
conversation with a man who owns prop
erty along the line of Garfield avenue
said that the Board did not feel like con-
curing in the resolution awarding the
contract, fearing that the people assessed
wouldn't pay their respective shares.
1t is believed that the Finance Com
missioners may change their minds be-
fore long and decide to concur. Unless
they set move on soon it will be i'm
possible for the contractor to prosecute
the work before the cold weather gets
her.
Citizns Interested in the proposd i'm
provement are indignant and threaten to
appear before the Board to ask them not
to block the progress Of the work unless
they can advance some good reason why
the property owners should not have
what they are willing to pay for.

GEO, cARRIGAN SUED.
Bank Wants Him to Pay Notes
That Partner Poucher
Discounted.

A remarkable suit has bene on trial
at the Court House for the last few
days, in which George Carrigan, of Bay
onne, is the defendant, and the Ganse-
WORT Bank, of New York, is the plain
tiff 1t appears that Mr.. Carrigan is
in danger of being out between $4,000
and $4,000 through the dentist of a wick
ed partner. 1t appears tnat for some
time Mr.. Carrigan was engaged in the
wholesale poultry business with Rufne
B. Poucher as partner, and the suit is
over a series of notes which Mr.. Poucher
negotiated.
These notes were made by the book
keeper of the firm, John Maehener, to the
order of Poueher, and We're endorsed by
oPucher, both individually and collec-
lively, and in the name of the firm. They
wer discounted by the Gansevoort Bank
and credited to Poucher's personal ac-
count.
Poucher died recently and in the settle
ment of his estate and the affairs of the
firm these notes became a matter of dis
pute. Mr.. Carragan claims that he is
not responsible for them; the. bank al
leges that he is; that they were discount
ed for the benefit of the firm and in proof
of this it is endeayoring to show the
court that the account of Mr.. Poucher
was used for the business of the firm
and for that alone.
A vast collection of checks was pro-
duced in evidence to show this point.
The bank claimed that none of them
were for the private benefit of Mr..
Poucher, but alt for the firm in which
Mr.. Carragan is interested. President T..
A. Adams of the bank was on the stand
all day yesterday and his testimony will
be resumed Monday morning.
Mr.. w. d. Edwards is trying the case
for the bank for Mr.. Joseph Anders son,
who is counsel Of record and Mr.; Mr.; 9. J, L; L;
Parker. The trial is before Judge Col
Inns

known Harrison hustler, was elected to
fill the vacancy.
Daniel A. Haggerty, chief clerk in
County Clerk Maurice J. Stacks office,

mantle as leader has fallen on the
shoulders of County Clerk Stack, who is
reported as being engaged in doing very
effective work for the party in Hoboken.

TRENTON, Sept. 27, 1902.-Lawyer
Walter McDermott hits morning applied
to the branch of the Supreme oCurt, con-
sisting of Justices Dixon, Hendrickson
and Pitney, for stay of all proceedings
Oh the resolution Of the Jersey City
Board of Finance, submitting to the yot-
ers the question whether the single head
ed commission shall be substituted for
the present Street and Water Board.
Corporation Counsel G. L. Record was
not present.
Mr.. McDermott stated to the court
the facts that on behalf of Robert e. q.
Smith and others, he had applied to JUS
tice Collins for writ of certiorari that
the justice had granted it, but had direct
ed that an application be made tosthe
court here for the stay, unless the counsel
could agree to an early day for the
argument and disposition of the case.
Mr.. McDermott had hoped that Mr..
Record would agree to an early day, but
he said yesterday that he would not, so
Mr.. McDermott wished to apply for
stay.
Justice Dixon asked Mr.. McDermott
what his reasons for stay were and the
young lawyer repeated practically his
argument of Thursday. The act, he
claimed, was unconstitutional because its
title did not express tho object of the act
in that it stated that the present Board
was to be abolished.
ACT WAS SPECIAL.
lie also claimed that the act was
special in that it made no provision for
the application of its provisions to cities
which may hereafter eater the first class
The reasons for a stay, Mr.. MeDcrrnott
argued, were most urgent as the act
seemed so clearly unconstitutional moth
ing should be done under it until the
court had passed upon it.
Justice Dixon asked # any city which
hereafter might hccoine first class would
not conc under the provisions of the act.
Mr.. McDermott said his contention
was that it would not and that the ques-
tion was de5atable.
STAY NECESSARY.
Justice Pitney then asked how neces-
sary it was to have stay and Mr.. Nc
Dernloit pointed out that IT was, extreme
II necessary as the new Commissioner
il appointed would at once take charge
of the aGa.rs of the present Street and
Water Department, including the new
seven iaii.ion dollar water supply. Mr..
McDetnott asked the court il it would
consider an application to have the mat
ter set down for an early day in the abb
sence of Mr. Record, and Justice Dixon
replied that it could not.
The judges then held brief consulta-
ton, and Justice Dixon announced that
the court would consider the application
and file a memorandum.
