WHO PAYS THEM?
City Physicians Say They
Are Members of the
Police Board and Re-
fuse Salaries From
City Health Board

At Yesterdays meeting of the Police
Board the six city physicians who have
held out against accepting their salary at
the hands of the City Health Board to
which body the Finance Board appropri-
ated money for salaries were told that
it was up to the Finance Board to ap-
propriate their salaries as members of
the police department.
The city physicians are Drs Rector,
Wolfson, Hoffman, Matthie, Brinkerhoff
and Eyeritt.
Commissioner Tilden announced that
he was sorry to inform the city physiN
ians and that the Finance Board hade no
appropriation to the Police Board for
their services and the board could not
therefore pass a resolution ordering their
salaries paid. Commissioner Tilden said
the Police Board had appealed to the
Board of Finance for the money and it
was up to the city physicians to ascer-
tain about their salaries He said the
Police Board was placed in peculiar
position as it had been ignored all around
by the Finance Board and the law de-
partment. He branded the matter as
ehild's play.
The Finance Board made the appro-
priation for the salaries of the city ply
sicians of the City Health Board. The
city physicians hold that ther are regular
members of the police department and as
such are protected by the tenure of office
act, which means that they cannot be re-
moved except for cause and that they are
entitled to half pay pension on, retire
ment. Their salaries are iS33.33 per
month. The pension would amount to
$16.6615. They hold that to accept sal
aries from the City Health Board would
jeopardize their claim as regular mem
bers of the Police Department.
1t is probable that the matter may be
fought out in the courts.

hall last evening that Principal Bissell
had laid his programme before Governor
elect Stokes, who is said to have told
him to go ahead. 1t was also said that
funds had been furnished Mr.. Bissell
to bring large delegation of teachers
from the northern part of the State.
Another attempt was made last even
ing to have the resolution brought up,
but like that of the afternoon, it was
blocked The battle will be carried on
today and another spirited debate is
looked for when the retirement fund re-
port is presented.

Former Jersey City Woman
Now Living in New

BROKER CUSHlNC'S LOAN
Citizens Whom the Lady Had
Checked Appeal to Chief
Murphy But She Checks
Him in Short Order.

Dete'etive-Sergeant Frank Bennett
went to New Haven, Conn, yesterday
with requisition papers for the arrest of
Mrs. Ivernia G. Bergen, wife of Dr.
Thomas ]. Bergin, prominent ply
sieian in that city who is wanted here
for giving a check for 81, 800 on New
ork Bank in which she had no account.
She is also wanted fo- giving several
worthless checks for minor amounts in
this city.
1t appears from the story that Mrs.
Bergin last fall called upon Broker A.
L. Gushing, of this city, for a $1,500
loan informing him that she had ample
securities in a New York bank to cover
the loan. The check she gave in return
for the cash proved to be worthless, as
she had no account in the bank she men
toned.
Mrs. Bergin agreed to come to Jersey
City with Detective-Sergeant Bennett,
requesting merely an opportunity to see
her husband first. On her way to the
station she had conference with her
counsel and changed her mind about
coming to Jersey City. Bennett re-
mained in New Haven.
Mrs. Bergin had considerable money
in her own name when she married DR..
Bergin She was widow of a man
named Hanly, who left quite an estate,
of which she got considerable part.
She was the daughter of Thomas God
dard who some years ago ran a foundry
and copper works in Hudson street. A
number of citizens recently cashed
checks for small amounts, aggregating
nearly $1,000, for her and when they
came back marked 'no good" the vic
Tins notified Chief of Police Murphy.
The Chief wrote to Mrs Bergin, who
replied that there was some mistake, as
she had plenty Of securities in a New
York bank The Chief again wrote to
Mrs. Bergin pressing the claims of her
victims, and she finally sent the Chief
check to cover the discrepancies. The
check, like all the others, was returned
marked mo goed' Again the Chief
wrote, informing Mrs Bergin that it was
highly improper thing to do to send a
chief of police bogus check under such
circumstances, and she replied that she
would meet the Chief and hand over the
cash. The appointment was not kept.
Detective Sergeant Bennett arrived in
the city accompanied by Mrs. Bergin this
afternoon. Mrs. Bergin was also accom-
panied by her maid. her five-weeks-old
baby and her eight-year-old daughter,
Hortense. Her eldest daughter, Irvenia,
was to accompany her, but slipped upon
piece of ice as she was about to step
into the carriage that was to convey the
party to the railroad station and was in
jured so severely that she was obliged to
remain at home. Mrs. Bergin was
closeted with Chief Murphy this after
noon
