WORSE THAN A NAB poe.


Frank Succesky, of No. 319 Fourth
street, was this morning held in $500
by Police Justice Higgins in the First
Criminal Court on a charge of mayhem
preferred by Emil Stein, of No. 1872
Railroad avenue.
The testimony developed that Sue
cersky, in fight with Stein and an
other Pole of the name of Radosky, had
bitten off the end of one of STEMS
fingers and the end of one of Radios
ky's thumbs The fight took place in
the Waldo avenue roundhouse of the
Pennsylvania Railroad
Succersky appeared in court with a
badly battered left eye. He said he had
been struck by Stein with long han
died hammer weighing about a pound,
and jumped ON by several men who, he
said, tried to kill him. The testimony
showed that he was not struck with the
hammer until after he had chewed off
the ends of one of STEMS fingers and
Radosky's thumb.

AFTER CROCERS.
Liquor Dealers Seeks to Pre-
vent Them From Selling
Intoxicating Fluids
Want toLim-
it Saloons.

The Hudson County Liquor Dealers
Association, at its meeting yesterday en-
tered vigorous protest against the licen-
sing of more saloons in Jersey City,
paid particular attention to those grocers
who sell liquor, and decided to send a
committee before the Excise Board to-
night to protest against Newark brew
cry forcing one of the members out of
an old stand and now demanding that
license be issued to the nan who secured
the place. The meeting was one of the
largest held in years, nearly three hun
dred members being present, and when
the topics mentioned above We're
reached the discussion was most ami
mated.
The saloon from which the Brewery
Company of Newark forced the old ten
ant and in which it now desires to in
stall another, is at the southeast corner
of Second and Henderson streets For
years it was run by Michael Farmer
but when the brewery started to crowd
him for more revenue, so it was stated
at the meeting he promptly moved across
the street. Since then the brewery has
secured another tenant and the latter
now has an application for license
pending before the Excise Board The
liquor dealers feel that the license should
not be granted.
Another dealer said that brewers often
forced out customers because they would
not sell their brands exclusively and that
it was time the association took the mat
ter in hand.
The delegation which will appear be-
fore the Excise Board tonight will prob
ably number three. hundred.
In regard to grocers doing liquor
trade, John Madden, James Waylett.
John IcEntee, Joseph Gallagher,
Henry Klauss and others made
speeches. 1t was the unanimous opinion
that the practice should be stopped, as
the selling of liquor in ather than
original packages is clearly violation
| of the Werts law. Another thing, so
the speakers stated, is that the grocers,
by selling liquor in small quantities,
lead the women of many households to
Incorporate habits, as beer and whiskey
are freely furnished.
| No objection was entered against
druggists selling liquer as it is frequent
ly required in the business.
A committee will be appointed at the
next meeting to arrange for the asso-
cations annual banquet.

PERSONAL TAX DELINQUENTs.
Collector Fry Sends Out Peremptory
Notices

City Collector Fry has sent out num-
Der of bills for personal taxes, the pay
ment of which have been shirked. The
bills We're accompanied by circular
calling attention to the law which holds
him responsible for the collection of such
bills under a penalty of $32 fine in each
case where he fails to attend to the mat
ter. The collector says there are numer-
Gus persons who give excuses for not
paying such taxes that are due this crty
to the effect that they are assessed on
their personal property in some other To-
.cality in which they reside. He has
given orders for the Office to be open for
collection of such taxes on every We'd
nesday night, from 6 to P. NJ, in addi-
ton to hte regular hours.

taxes at the rate of $3.50 per $1,000,
and placing it in the category oasecond
class railroad property, our city gets
only returns at the rate of l 1-2 per
cent. through the medium of the state.
The effect of the railroad terminals also
is to destroy the usefulness of adjacent
property for any. other purpose than
that of railroad USE"
In concluding his speech, Mr.. Record
said d:-"This agitation has been going
on for long time and it will continue
to go OH until you gentlemen, or your
successors, see to it that the corpora
tions are compelled to pay, dollar for
dollar, the same tax as is imposed upon
the property owner in the same munich
pality''
When he had finished his address he
was greeted with prolonged applause.
Others who made addresses in favor
of the bill were:-Mayor P. J. Ryan of
Elizabeth, Mayor Belcher of Paterson,

MESSRS HAMILL AND FIELDER'S BILL


TRENTON. March 3, 1904.-The
Democrats carried their slogan, Equal
Taxation" into the Assembly chamber
yesterday afternoon and for two hours
the committee on railroads and canals
listened to arguments on the bills intro
duced by Messrs. HamiIl and Fielder of
Jersey City to compel the companies
owning or operating roads or canals
within the jurisdiction of the State to
pay tax to the various municipalities
through which they run and own prop
erty.
Long before the Assembly had adj
journed for the afternoon delegations
from northern parts of the State kept
coming into the chamber. One delega-
ton of three hundred from Hudson
County marched into the galleries and
swarmed through the corridors, all wear
ing the badge, Equal Taxation
Among the delegates were mayors,
corporation counsels, lawyers, former
assemblymen and men representing the
boards of trade from Newark, Jersey
City and Paterson.
AssemblyuAan Rielder Of Jersey City
introduced the different speakers. The
first to address the committee on the
matter was AfiusRity Leader Hamfll,
who made an eloquent plea to the eem-
mittee to repeft the bill favorably that
the House mightzhave an opportunity to
vote upon one or the other of them, all
three bills being of the same import.
George C. Record, corporation counsel
of Jersey Cfty,swas then introduced and
by courtesy of the committee was al

settled down over the harbor shortly
before FIVE o'clock this morning.
The ferryboats during rush" hours
were obliged to grope or feel their way
slowly through the dense mist, and
number of collisions We're narrowly
averted only through extreme cautious
ness on the part of the pilots.
But one accident had been repored up
to noon. The Chicago, of the Courtlandt
street line, after leaving her slip on this
| side of the river at $50 o'clock, crashed
into a feet of about twenty canalboats
lashed together and being towed by

thrown about by the impact. A panic
was narrowly averted. Some Of the
passengers say that woman and two
children were seen to be rescued from

crew of another boat, who cut the sink
| ing craft loose from the rest of the
| fleet. In the dense fog it was impossi-
BILE to see from the Chicago whether
anyone went down with the damaged
canalboat in the side of which a big
hole had been stove by the Chicago.
The ferry boat backed away and after
the fleet of canal boats had passed, pro-
ceeded slowly on her journey to New
York. She was slightly damaged about
the hull. The feet of canal boats dis
appeared up the river in the fog
The Hoboken ferryboat Bergen, of the
Barclay street line, and the Erie ferry
boat Maitland, of the Chambers street
line, barely grazed each other in the eff
forts of the pilots of the two boats to
avoid a collision on the New York side
The ferryboat Westfeld, on its trip
from New York to St George, Staten
Island, collided with an unknown vessel.
The forward part of the Westield was
carried away, but she safely disembarked
| her passengers and was then towed by a
couple of tugs to Clifton for repairs.
None of the ferryboats could run on
anywhere near schedule time The re-
suit was overcrowded boats and con-
tinued blockade all the morning for
| blocks up both sides of Montgomery
street of coal trucks and provision trucks,
| lumber wagons, express wagons, trucks
laden with great stacks of boxes and
empty barrels, the tops of the loads of
which protruded in such manner as to
partially interfere with truck traffic and
| even pedestrianism. And, this despite
extra police regulations. Cross streets
within several blocks of the ferry and
York and Grand streets were also
blocked.
