RESERVOIRS LOW
Water Supply Is Shorter
Than It Should Be at
This Time Of the
Year.


The supply Of water in the eityss tws
reservoirs is shorter than it should b4
as result of the great waste Of watea
by consumers.
One reservoir is about half filed aud
the water in theSother is TIVE feet loves
than ordinarily.
As a rule, the city has four &yss
supply on hand, but there is only threa
days supply in the reservoirs. Ths
Water Department has been doing its
utmost to fill the reservoirs to their limif
but is being handicapped by housekeep-
ers who persist in letting their hydrantz
run to keep the pipes from freezing.
Every cold snap means a loss Of froA
to Is per cent. in the daily consumption
of water.
1t was estimated that three millions Of
gallons were allowed to run away one
night recently.
Chief Engineer G. A. Won Kenren said
this morning that the city will be unable
to fill the reservoirs if consumers do nos
stop their practice of wasting water. He
added that he hopes it will not be neeess
sary to get water from Bayonne to make
good the shortage.

PANIC IN A FACTORY.
A Thousand Employees Smell
Smoke and Take Dinner
Whistle for Alarm.

panic was caused yesterday after
noon in the thread mills of Schwarzen-
bach and Huber Company, ON Spring
street, West Hoboken. The engineer of
the building was drying out some wood
by the engine and the heated engine ig-
nited the wood, causing small blaze,
which. however, filed the whole building
with volumes of smoke. The flame was
quickly extinguished
Over 1000 hands are employed in the
building, which is Of brick. three stories
high, covering a square block. Just as
the smoke began to fill the rooms the
dinner whistle blew and the employees
detecting the smoke thought the whistle
was an alarm for fire and panic fol-
lowed. Men, women and girls piled
down the stairs one over the other The
girls who were employed on the third
floor were greatly frightened and made
wild rush for the stairs, tumbling and
pushing down the three flights. Al
though no one was seriously hurt many
were bruised about the body, and the
girls suffered more from shock. 1t was
some time before the excitement sub
sided and the people returned to work.

Intelligent sp- rrows.

&c. p. l." as he relates in the Daily
Graphic Gagged a young sparrow which
would have been killed by falling from
its nest but for the fact that piece of
twine had been glued by dirt to one of
its feet &c p. L. suggests that the
twine might have been contrivance of
the mother bird to protect the young one
from sharing the fate of another fiedgling
that had fallen a short time previously
from the same nest. He considers it .'re-
markahle foresight on the part of the
mother" This ingenious bird fed her
fiedglnig in the cage until it was strong
enough to fly, and then she coaxed the
latter with dainty bait to squeeze
through the wires where they were fur
ther apart than elsewhere. and before
that little bird knew what had happened
it found itself free. This mother spar
row eclipses that other one who, finding
that maize had been substituted for bar
ley in the poultry run, and that maize
was inconveniently large to swallow, re-
hected for a moment and then hurried off
to the railway lines, and deposited the
grain on the rails to be crushed by the
trains as they passed. Thus she was able
to enjoy her food without indigestion.

JUDGE cOLLINs's LAST DAY.
Uneventfu1 Save for a. .taches Who
Call to Exp -ess Regrs..

Justice Collins's last day on the bench
of the Hudson Circuit of the Supreme
Court today was an uneventful one.
This morning was spent in trying case
in which life insurance company was
the defendant. The trial was occasional
ly interrupted by lawyers calling to con
suit the retiring Justice relative to mat
ters which have been pending before him.
The Justice was in his usual happy
mood and seemed almost pleased that his
term was SO near an end. On the other
hand court officers and others attached
to the county courts expressed their re-
grets over his coming departure.
Probably no justice who ever sat in
this circuit has made so many friends
in so brief time as has Justice Collins.
He knows personally every member of
the bar and his pleasant and friendly
nod will be missed each morning by law
yers and court attaches.
1t can be truthfullv said that Justice
Collins leaves the bench with the adj
miration and friendship of all with whom
he has ever had dealings.

MONKEYINC
WITH BUZZ SAW
Faganic Law Department"
Preparing Bill to Upset
Excise Eoard Elect
ed By the People
TO DOCTOR HOSPITAL ACT
Administration Wants Re-
medal Legislation So
That Bonds Can Be
Floated.
TO DOCTOR HOSPITAL ACT

The city's law department is working
overtime in the preparation of bills which
the G. o. P. machine hopes to jam
through the Legislature during the pres
ent session
Chief among the proposed bills is one
which contemplates the creation of a new
appointive Board OF Excise Commission
ers to take the place of the Democratic
board elected by the people in November
last.
The administration has been in the
dumps ever since the court declared the
celebrated Fagan bipartisan board an il
legal body and the elective board succeed
ed it on January l.
Orders were then issued that something
should be done to upset the work of
the courts and people and the law depart
ment undertook the job. 1t is a big one,
but Corporation Counsel George L. Rec
ord and Corporation Attorney Robert
Carey hope to carry out their part of the
contract with success.
TO HELP OUT HOSPITAL ACT.
The law department is also working on
bill to provide remedial legislation for
the Mayors new Hospital Act. which
has been laid up for repairs for several
months.
The act which was passed last year,
with the idea in view of giving Jersey
City authority to erect a 100000 City
Hospital. is said to be- unconstitutional.
1t is now before the courts.
The administration hopes that the
Legislature will come to its rescue so
that the bonds for the proposed hospital
can be hoated and work on the hospital
started before the Mayor is obliged TO
go out of business.

Bedle, Edwards & Lawrence, counsel for

decided in favor of the railroad COM
pany. declaring that the city was tres
passer. Mr.. Carey said that the city's
brief on the appeal embraces one thou
sand typewriter pages. The law de-
partment's line of argument will be iden-
teal with that of Congressman Allan L.
McDermott, who appeared for the city
in the proceedings before the Vice Chan
cellor.

JACK the HUCCER
Strange Man Makes It IN
safe for Women on the
Streets of West
Hoboken.


Jack the Huggers has made his ap-
pearances in West Hoboken, and for the
last week has been terrorizing the resi-
dents of that section. Several ladies
have been attacked by him and now it
has become unsafe for woman or a
girl to venture out on the street at night
unprotected
Jack the Hugger" secretes himself
in dark places and pounees out upon
young ladies without an escort. His
mania is to hug and kiss them. So far
no more serious harm than almost scar
ing girls into fits has been done by
Jack" but fathers and husbands are
after him.
On last Tuesday evening about eight
o'clock little May Donovan, thirteen
years old, of No. 159 Ino street. West
Hoboken, was sent to a grocery store
at Cliff and Weehawken streets, kept by
A. Friess. While she was going down
Cliff street a man jumped from behind
fence and began to hug and kiss her.
She screamed and kicked and the man
ran away.
May ran into the grocery store near
by crying and frightened Fress and
his clerk made an immediate search for
the man but he had disappeared.
On the same night married woman
whose name the police refuse to give, was
attacked by this same man and her hus-
band hunted the neighborhood with a
revolver, but in vain. His wife, as far
as she could, described him as of medium
height and wore black overcoatS and a
Fedora hat.
Two weeks ago little girl who was
attending the confirmation class of St.
Johns P. e. Church, West Hoboken,
while on her way home was kissed by
this same man and almost frightened into
fits.
The police are making diligent search
for Jack the Hugger but have been un-
successful so far.

s
Mrs. Emma Niemeyer, or Second and
Court streets. Hoboke1, was arraigned
before Recorder Stanton in that city
today charged with attempting to dis
figure William Drummer. of No. 64
Washington street. with acid.
Drummer said in court that he met the
woman last night and warned her to
stop circulating stories about him. As
he was about to leave her. he said, she
reached into the. pocket of her skirt and
took out bottle. Before she could
uncork it he took it away from her. He
exhibited the bottle IN evidence. 1t was
labelled 'soxalic acid.''
Mrs. Niemeyer made counter charges
of abuse against Drummer. The Re-
corder reprimanded both and dismissed
the case
