tablished seventy-five years ago. Official
notification has been received by Philip
Vroom, the Postmaster. to that effect

of an Office some time ago at Far Hills

MISSIONS report, which will be submit
ted to the Legislature next week, recon-
mends trunk sewer thirty-five miles
in length. This is nine miles longer
than the sewer recommended in the re-
port of the Commission which formulat-
ed the plan submitted to the Legislature
last year.
According to the new plan, the sewer
is to begin in the Valley of the Rocks,
at the foot of Passaic Falls in Paterson,
and extend to Robins Reef, below Bay.
onne. The cost of construction is plac,
ed at $500, 900. The estimated cost Of
the execution of the old plan was 81,
100000.
Newarks share of expense under the
plan is Sc per cent, or 81 1855, 400; Pater-
sons, II per cent. 81. SIT 800; Passaic's
per cent. $3.50, 700. The remainder is
divided among other municipalities
which will make use of the sewer.
Lateral sewers are to connect the
trunk sewer with municipalities on the
east side of the river. This feature may
make it necessary for the State to obtain
the consent of the War Department to
the execution of the plan, for if it should
ever be decided to deepen the river the
lateral sewers would be serious OBJ.
struction to the work.
The definite proposal to extend the
sewer across Bayonne and into Newark
Bay makes the principal item of cost
Last year this was talked of, but was
not decided on. Now. however, the
sewer is to be carried in tunnel across
Newark Bay to point in the low
ground in Bayonne where the Morris
Canal is carried across the neck of land
and then out into New York Bay. The
purchase of rights of way for the sewer
will also add to cost of construction, as
will the increased price of labor and
materials.

In 1888 a partnership was formed by William
O'Cor1nan and Herman Stursberg for the purpose
of building in The Bronx. They decided to erect
houses that would appeal in prosperous times to
the better class of tenants who prefer to live In
The Bronx and in hard times to persons who were
accustomed to living in high class houses in Man

RIPS THE MAGISTRATES.
Justice Garretson Says He Won't Is
sue Warrants for Them.

Warrants. it is thought will be issued to-day for
the arrest of Captain John Cooney, of the Seventy
fifth Precinct, and three of his men, and possibly
other detectives. The warrants refused yes
terday first by a magistrate and then by Justice
Garretson, of the Supreme Court, but It was the
manner of the refusal of the latter that makes it
probable that they will issue to-day. 1t is declared.
The warrants to issue in the of Joseph
Lally, who kept hotel at No. 29 Borden-ave., Long
Island City. The Cottage Social and Athletic Club
occupied apartments on floor above the barroem
Captain Cooney and his men alleged the club was
simply poolroom. After weeks of fighting raid
was made and several men arrested. Commissioner
Greene wrote a letter to Captain Cooney praising
him for his work the According to the
police the raid has not stopped the alleged oper-
ations in the place.
Ially says he has nothing to do with what takes
place on the floors above his saloon since the sur
render of his hotel license He declares that Cap
tain Cooney has so injured the liquor business on
the floor that if the socalled persecution does
not cease business will have be suspended. Laly
declares the men to watch the place by Captain
Cooney insult patrons.
Lally's counsel sought warrants from City Magis-
trate Smith in Long Island City yesterday Magis-
trate Smith refused the warrants Lally and his
counsel went before Justice Garretson. They found
him at his home in Elmhurst. He is vacation

ARREST At RACETRACK.
Another Attempt to Stop Betting
La1cyer Gets WGrrants.
TRYING TO FORCE POLICE TO ACT.

The beginning of another attempt. supposedly
on the part of poolroom keepers who have for
years tried without avail to accomplish the same
end to stop betting at the racetracks was begun
yesterday by the arrest at the Brighton Beach
track of John Butte, of the racetrack patrol, on
a warrant issued by Magistrate Tighe in the
Adams-st. court, Brooklyn, charging him with
neglect of duty. The complaint was sworn to
by Harry Goldman, OF No I51 Bridge-st., Brook
lyn formerly process server in the office of
Howe & Hummel. who alleges that Buttle failed
to stop gambling at the track, and standing
near the betting stand of SOL Lichtenstein. a
bookmaker, directed persons how to make bets.
Magistrate Tighe was at the racetrack and i'm
mediately released the prisoner in the custody of
the chief OF the racetrack patrol, ordering him
to appear this morning for examination
This action was instigated by Benjamin Stein
hardt the lawyer, who on Monday boasted that
he would have Police Commissioner Greene and
other police officials arrested if they did not
stop betting at the racetracks. Last night ne
said the arrest of Buttle showed that an arrest
could be made. and reiterated his threat that If
the police did not stop betting some OF them
would be in the penitentiary He sald ne WouIu
not proceed against Major Ebsteln, out against
the police in the precinct wherein the racetrack
is situated He also made the assertion that ne
was going TO stop liquor selling at the race
tracks. -
The arrest of Buttle was based on Section III
of the Penal Code which says that "a public
officer or person holding public trust or en-
ployment who wifully neglects his duty, may
be guilty of misdemeanor.
Justice Wyatt in the Court of Special SeS-
sions, yesterday issued a summons Tor August
Belmont at the request Of Steinhardt, cOmpell-
ing the appearance of Mr.. Belmont in the Court
of Special Sessions this afternoon, to testify IN

the most upright. honest and pure leader in New
York was received with upro2rious applause
The Big Chief himself then took the stand. armed
with a glass of cooling liquid and a handkerchief
to both of which he had frequent recourse during
his remarks.
