Why?
AL W A Us A-JAMMIN'

Another act in the malicious mischief
farce played by the students of Stevens
Institute on the one hand and their
boarding house keepers and neighbors o.,
the other, was witnessed before Recorder
Stanton in the Hoboken police court this
morning.
Yesterday. as related in 1.-The News,
two of the students were arrested charged
with destroying the furniture in their
boarding house and assaulting the pro-
prietor with a pillow. This morning an
other batcn of freshmen We're hailed into
court for being too noisy. The latest COM
plainanat is G. H Knight. an old man.,
who lives with his wife on the first floor
of No. SO Washington street. The rooms
about Mr. Knights apartments are all oc-
cupied by college students. Mr.. Knight
complained that they made so much noise
that he and his wife were almost insane.
s'Tney keep a janimin' on the floor with
their feet ne continued, "and my chan
deliers have all been broken The ceiling
lis coming down. too. | am AFFAIR the
whole house is going to come down If
something is not done to stop them
In answer to Mr.. knights charge one
of the students who spoke for the entire
party said that Mr. Knight had called
him a lout.
'She put her head out of a front win
dow yesterday morning while I was leay-
ing for the college said the student,
"and shouted you are lout' We have
only been in Hoboken since January The
noise Mr. knight refers to, I believe, is
caused by the Chinaman who keeps a

1T is done by you with your feet. You
are always jammin' on the floor, all of
you How could the Chinaman knock
down my ceiling?
"As to the falling of the ceiling, your
Honor" continued the student, Il can
say right here that if it is falling down
Mr.. Knight is alone responsible. Each
time he hears us make the least noise in
our rooms he takes cane or pole and
hammers on his ceiling. That is enough
to make any ceiling fall down, your Hon
or I suppose he does this to warn us to
stop moving. We can't move a chair
without hearing him pound on the ceiling
/ have heard that Mr.. Knight Is a kick
err If he isn't finding fault with us he
is finding 1t with the people next door"
Mr. Knight Indignantly denied that he
had the reputation of a kicker. He said
that if he had, it was news to him.
Recorder Stanton dismissed the students
with a reprimand, and told Mr.. Knight
that he could bring civil action against
them for damages if he SO desired.

INGRAM ESCAPES
Grand Jury Fails to Indict
the High Service En-
gineer Who Padded
Payrolls.

Robert Ingram, the Republican who re-
signed is engineer at the High Service
pumping station on Summit avenue after
having confessed to padding the city $
pay-rolls, escaped indictment by the
Grand Jury yesterday afternoon, There
were only six votes for the finding of a
these also voted to indict the firm Of
Smiths Sons, who rendered the bill that
included the Ingram claim.
The action of the Grand Jury in refus-
ing to indict ii is believed was due largely
to the fact l.---- ene city had not lost any
thing by the transaction. and that those
implicated in it had already been suffi-
GENTLY punished by the publication of the
facts
Auditor Forrest A Heath was the first
witness called yesterday afternoon. He
said he had never handled any of Smith
Sons bills, except one, and that was not
for the job in dispute. He couldn't say
that there was anything wrong about the
firms bills.
The Auditor told that it was his opin-
ion that certain items on some of the
Street and Water Commissioners bills
were high. Referring to a stationary
bill mentioned in one of his more or less
famous exposes he said he thought the
prices were high
OF the Ingram matter he said that it
was his understanding that the work done
by a former high service engineer had
been performed by him outside of the
time for which the city paid him a regu-
lar salary He also understood that In
gram had put in the bill in his own name
but some employee of the firm had
changed it.
A boy named DAILY, who is employed in
the office of Smiths Sons told how the
Ingram bill was changed. The engineer,
he said, had first sent it in in his own
name but it was afterwards changed.
After this testimony the Grand Jurors
discussed whether to consider the cases OF
Ingram and Smiths Sons separately or
together The latter course was finally
decided upon and resulted as stated
above.

BILL ROUSES Suspicious
An Apparently innocent Mea-
sure Framed by Judge Hoff-
man Is Creating a Stir

Especial to "The Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, March, 8, 19O2.-An appar-
emily innocent and inconspicuous little
bill, introduced in the House of Assembly
this week by former Judge Hoffman, of
Monmouth, is exciting the interest Of
gas company and corporation representa-
tives ard interests to an extent seemingly
out of all keeping with its Importance.
The full text of the proposed law is as
follows:
"It shall be lawful for any gas COM
pany now organized, or which may here
after be organized under the act to which
this is a supplement (the act of 1876 for
the organization of gas companies), to lay
any gas main, pipe or conductor in any
highway, street, alley, lane, or avenue of
any city in which highway. street. alley.
1ane,or avenue any gas main. pipe or con-
ductor shall have already been laid, with
out first obtaining the written consent
of the owners of at least one-half OF, the
property fronting on such portion of the
highway. street. alley, lane, or avenue in
and through which portion such gas main,
pipe or conductor Is proposed to be laid. .
That is all there is of it, but some
shrewd legislators of an investigating
frame of mind have been studying the bill
and have come to the conclusion that the
measure is intended to prevent competi-
ton in supplying gaslight in cities, ana
| that the innocent little bill. il allowed t.,
become a law would be found to give to
the gas companies now operating in the
| State and especially to the coropradon
that controls all the gas business in Bssex
| and Hudson. a monopoly of the gaslight-

PATERSON ASKS DELAY
Wants Action on Publication
Matter Put Off for a
Year.
fsnecial to .arhe Jersey c,ity News. 81

Especial to 'sTbe Jersey City News."1
PATERSON. March s, 1902.-A letter was
mailed yesterday morning by the commit
tee of the local Board of Trade, which
was to have conferred with a committee
from the Newark Board of Trade, in
definitely postponing a conference which
was to have taken place here tonight
and giving reasons why Paterson could not
consider any scheme for the puriication
of the Passaic at this time. The letter
says
..Mr. Coult's letter of the 26th ult. post
poning our conference fixed for this even
ing, was duly received by the same mai
with the new bill prepared by the commit
tee. Until today we have had no chance
for conference, and the short time al
lowed has been insufficient to enable us
to become familiar with the proposed BILL
not to mention the important matters with
which he deals
Then the committee recalls the fact that
the city has suffered from fire and food,
and then says
THE trunk sewer is practically impos-
sible on account of the expense ana the
fact that Paterson is just now in serious
financial difficulties. Paterson has lost
liens on s1.5o0,o0D in taxes. and for at least
two years to come will sustain a loss Of
from three to four millions of its rata
bles The committeeman desire an eppor-
tunity at their own expense with their
own experts, to make thorough and
searching investigation of the alleged evil
and to ascertain the remedy which it may
be in their power to apply. Tney ask
IN. ~. ~.
of the city of Newark to permit it TO rest
for the present year.
During that time we have no doubt
the authorities of the city of Paterson viii
take steps to acquire the information to
enable them to act fnteligentIy and just
iy upon the great question presented to
it,
The letter Is signed by Judge William I,
Lewis. City Counsel Michael Dunn and
former City Engineer William Ferguson.

| Warden George OsboEae, of the City

make any arrangements. I shall go to
Trenton Monday to look over the ground.
Then shall be in better position to
form definite plans for my removal from
this city. have great quantity of fur
niture here that I should like to dispose
of in Jersey City, if possible. I do not
know whether I shall need any of this
furniture or not in my new home.
"If everything goes well 1 shall leave
Jersey City on March 1S.I trust everything
is for the best, and I shall endeavor to
do the best I know how in my new place.
IF 1 had remained until April % it
would have marked the ending of twenty
years of service at the hospital. It has
been a long career, filled with many
strange incidents. l trust that I have
performed my duties well, for l certainly

leave the old place after years of service,
but changes but come.
Il have not heard who my successor is
to be, but l should be pleased to have
him come here before leave. 1t would
give me pleasure to show him about and
acquaint him with details, if necessary.
Il wish to thank the press from the
bottom of my heart for the courtesies ex-
tended and also the Democratic members
of the Legislature from Hudson who
spoke SO highly of my appointment.
Among the letters of congratulation that
have received, are many from. Demo-
Gratis. It makes me feel good to hear
from these friends, and to say that I ap-
preciate it. is but putting it mildly
There is much speculation as to who
will succeed Warden Osborne. This mat
ter will be decided at a special meeting of
the Police Board. No date has been set
as yet. 1t is doubtful ifSthe Commission
ers know at present who will succeed the
retiring Warden. None of the Commits
sioners will discuss the coming appoint

The NEW JERSEY
Will Be One Of the Features
and Most Powerful Bat
tleships in the Navy.

The five latest battleships which were
authorized by Congress and ordered by
the Navy Department are by common
consent of the newspapers of the country
known as the New Jersey class, despite
the fact that in the government reports
they have been designated the Virginia
class. The contracts for building all of
thsee five vessels-the New Jersey, Rhode
Island, Virginia. Nebraska, and Georgia
were awarded in the same year, 1901. In
the naval lists they are arranged in al
phabetical order and might naturally be
called the Georgia class; but on the other
hand, the contracts for the New Jersey,
Rhode Island, and Virginia were awarded
on February IS, while that for the Georgia
was not signed until February IS and that
for the Nebraska not until March T..
Among the ships first contracted for the
New Jersey would take alphabet pre-
cedence, however and by the general
choice of the American people the whole
class is commonly designated by her
name.
The vessels of the New Jersey class
represent the highest attainment of the
art of battleshin building in the United
States. They are larger, faster, and more
powerful than the Massachusetts or the
Illinois. The New Jersey, for example,
which, with the Rhode Island is being
built at the Fore River yard near Boston
will be 435 feet long, or nearly 100 feet
longer than the Massachusetts. She will
be 76 feet wide. as compared with So feet
of the Massachusetts,, and will have a
displacement of 14,94S tons, as compared
with the TO- 2SS of the battleship that bears
the name of the old Bay State, The New
Jersey will have an indicated horsepower
of 1900, as compared with the 10,415 of
the Massachusetts, and speed of at least
10 knots an hour. as compared with 1920
The Massachusetts, carries four 13-inch,
eight eight-inch, and four six-inch rapid
fire guns--a very powerful battery. But
the New Jersey and her sisters will have
four Pinch. eight eight-jneh, and 12 six
inch rapid-fire guns-a much more
formidable armament The vessels of the
New Jersey class now building will have
the improved Krupp process armor, which
will not be so heavy as that Of the Mass
achusetts. but win give quite as efficient
protection.
