law In these particulars are constantly
carried on. and with proper amount OF
diligence or attention to duty ought to be
known to the police officials. In the IN
vestigatfon of other cases evidence was
brought out before this Inquest as to tae
sale of liquor on Sunday, policy playing
and poker and crap playing in saloons
which the police should have been IN
formed about but of which they claimed
entire ignorance. In certain portions OF
the county it is notorious that the sale Of
liquor is only carried on and unless same
is repressed by local authorities at once
will necessarily become more fragrant III
the summer months. Promiscuous gam
bling in liquor saloons is a growing evil
and should receive the careful attention
of the police authorities. Leaving aside
entirely the question whether the Sunday
laws as to liquor selling are good or bad,
we believe that so long as they are on the
statutes of this State they should be en-
forced by those whose duty it is to see
that the laws are obeyed.
We do charge and present that in rela-
ton to these unlawful resorts the police
officials are guilty of either criminal ig-
norance or criminal negligence. The root
of the evil Is not so much in the gambling
or pool selling or policy playing or dis
orderly resorts or selling cigarettes to
minors as it is in the system of police ad-
ministration which either openly or wan
tonly permits violat tions of law to go un-
punished and unchecked.

GOLF LIKELY TO STAY
General Impression That No
Change Will Be Made
Till EalI.

Although things are pretty quiet at the
Jersey City Golf Club as far as arrange
ments for tournaments are concerned the
club house is stin being kept open for the
Tuesday evening club socials. On these
occasions the members pass the time
playing ping pong, in which game several
golfers have become as proficient as in
golf tournaments.
Last night a meeting of this kind was
held. and though nothing definite was de-
veloped as to the clubs future plans. the
general belief seems to be that the club
will remain just where it is until next fall.
thereby accepting the offer of the Byrn
Tuyrn Realty Company. which gave the
golfers their own time in which to move
the club house, although the lease expires
May l.
There also seems TO be a general impress
sion that the Eastern Baseball League.
which il is rumered is behind the Realty
Company purchase, will not use the
ground over which part of the golf
course now extends until fan, in which
case no change Will be necessary.
At any rate. the golfers do not seem 10
worry much about the future and is TAX
ing its time to decide. A meeting of the
Committee on Plans. consisting Of Mr..
Robert L. Fleming. Mr.. Clarence Harm
sted and Or. B. P. Craig. in conjunction
Of the Board Of Governors. viii be held
in the club house tonight. when some def
mite plan will probably be made.
Miss Clara Wilkinson, who won the
women's challenge cup and championship
last summer, will give the ladies a cup
tournament on Saturday next, and the
golfers are taking advantage of the fine
weather for practice play.

STRING TAKENOUT
Infamous No. 23l" Pass
es the House This
Merning.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News
TRENTON, March g. l9o2.-Worn out
with the work of the three sessions which
it held yesterday, the House oversight
itself this morning and it was after II
O. clock before it settled down to business
About the first thing the House did was
to take UP bill No. 2sl, which. thanks to
the. work of the Democratic members,
has had the sting taken out of II and is
practically harmless compared with what
it was when introduced. Mr.. Bacheller.
the introducer of the measure. said that
the bill had been before the House sew
eral times and its purpose was well
known. He had amended It five times to
meet the views Of Hudson and he thought
it was now satisfactory to them.
No one had anything further to say for
the measure. neither did any talk against
1t. and the bill passed. the vote being 45
to s. The Hudson men present voted
against the measure.
There was something OF a discussion on
Senator cross's BILL which authorizes the
State Board OF Health. in order that local
boards of health may be enabled TO Sc
cure the services Of trained sanitary in
speetors, to conduct examinations at least
semi-annually, to determine the qualiiiea-
tions of applicants. No sanitary inspec-
tor is to be chosen by local boards of
health after January l, 1904. unless he be
licensed. Does not interfere with the con-
tinuance in Office of any one now serving
in that capacity. Enables local health
boards to create the office of medical Of
ficer of health, for which physicians only
will be eligible. His term shall be five
years; salary to be fixed by the board.
The Committee on Public Health report
ed the measure with an amendment
which would render the bill imperative. It
was about to be rushed through in the
hurry when Mr. Newcom discovered what
the amendment did and attacked It strong
ly. He spoke of the great benefit to the
general public which proper sanitary ir-
speetion would cause and protested
against the killing of the bill in any sucn
manner. Mr.. Davidson of Passaic consid-
cred the bill a bad one as it took the con-
troll of local affairs out of the hands of
the home body and gave it over TO the
State Board.
Mr. Whitford of Middlesex said that a.
though physician he was great believ-
er in preventing disease and as that waS
what this bill sought to do he was in ia
vor of it. The amendment was adopted

PUBLIC SCHOOL S

This is the summing up OF the recent
investigation of the Jersey City public
schools
The condition Of the High School and
also Schools Nos. and II of Jersey City
was called to the attention of the Grand
Jury and a committee appointed TO inves-
tigate these matters. The evidence of the
Mayor, the City Superintendent and the
Principal of the High School and a School
Director was taken and a personal in
vestigation of the premises made. As a
result of the foregoing we report that in
our Judgment the present High School
building is entirely inadequate and un
suitable for the uses to which it is put,
, particularly in the lack of seating capac-
ity. The seats are so crowded by the ex-
cess of pupils that there is only space
of fourteen inches separating the aisies.
In case of fire or other emergency great
loss of life would inevitably follow. Ow
ing to the lack of proper sanitary ar
rangements and the overcrowding, the
health of the teachers and pupils is great
ly impaired. Teachers are at times COM
RELIED to be absent through illness and
substitutes used in their places, hence
pupils for a time are delayed to a more or
less extent in the studies they are pur-
suing The Grand Inquest found the SAN
itary arrangements of this building in
such deplorahle condition that they
were about to present bills of indictment
for maintaining a nuisance against the
city authorities when an appropriation of
was made and the assurance given that
! four thousand two hundred dollars (s4, 200
was made and the assurance given that
this nuisance would be at once abated
The presentment here quotes at length
from SUPERINTENDENT Snyders last annual
report. The presentment proceeds as fol-
! lows
1t is a grave question in case the at
| tention of the State authorities should be
drawn to the condition of the High School
whether the city Of Jersey City would not
under the laws OF this State forfeit its
-ight to large snare Of the public school
moneys of the State.
Because of the lack Of facilities many
parents are compelled to pay for sne tut
/ ton of their children in private schools
and many cases were cited before the
! Grand INQUEST where families have re-
moved TO other cities in order that their
children might be afforded the benefits &
a High School education
! The present facilities compared to fhosa
! given by many of the smaller towns OF
this State is a disgrace to Jersey City.
While we commend the efforts OF the
municipal authorities to give Jersey city
free baths and open air concerts We
would respectfully request that steps be
taken at once TO bring about the erection
of new High school
In our opinion a new High School at tae
/ present time built In a more central pof-
| ton of the city is Of far greater import

new COURT HOUSE


The Presentment opens with this recon-
mendation:-
Presentments have been made by the
Grand Juries of this county for years
back, showing the necessity Of the erec-
tion of a new Court House. and we desire
to endorse all that has been said in that
direction. We respectfully and earnestly
recommend that the Board of Freeholders
of this county take this matter into con-
sideration and under the laws now on our
statute books begin the erection of a
new Court House. The present structure
is absolutely lacking in suitable accom-
modations for a proper transaction of the
county's business. The front of the main
Court House building has been in use
since March II. 1S45, and the rear addi-
ton was erected some fifteen years ago.
In 1916 the entire county had a population
now equal to some of the smaller towns
in this county, and yet the county has
practically the same accommodations to-
day. witnesses who are compelled 10 at
tend the sessions Of the Grand Jury have
no suitable room. and ell. including wom-
en- and children. are Obliged 10 remain
in the open corridors until called The
GranQ jury eubuld nave a room SCI A1Auc
for its special use. because their proceed
ings can plainly be heard by persons
standing in the corridors Of the Court
House. This. IN a measure. in our judg-
ment. accounts for the publicity that has
been given from time to time 10 their
work in the Grand Jury room. When the
Grand Jury Is IN session the Circuit Court
is frequently compelled to adjourn or
hold court In other parts OF the Court
House. The court rooms are not fitted
with proper sanitary arrangements, are
badly lighted and poorly ventilated. The
Grand Jury's attention has been called to
the danger of escape OF prisoners arising
from the manner in which prisoners are
obliged to be taken from the County Jail
to the court room. We respectfully sug-
gest that unless a new Court House is
soon to be erected that tunnel or bridge
connecting the Court House and Jail be
erected at once. so that any possible
chance for prisoners to escape may be
avoided

The condition of the company from a
financial standpoint has been considerably
improved during the past year, warrant-

"AbneF DanIel"-A New Fun Maker.
All the world loves a lover and
all the world loves a good fun

Abner himself Is a man worth

bachelor, shrewd, witty. droll and
kindly, and a philosopher to the
backbone. The jollity of the
book" says one critic, is one of
its salient qualities. It bubbles
wiki fun from beginning to end and
this Is humor of distinct type. 1t
Is not the dry. qu'zzical humor of
New England, nor the extravagant
and grotesque fun of the west: nor

which has been attempted by sew
