Double Murder Of Saturday
Stirs the Police to
Saloon Reform.
CLOSE IHSP -CTlOH TO BIZ MADE

Every Resort Equipped With
Privat Rooms to Be- Re-
ported to thu Captains

Since the double tragedy-the shoot
ing and killing of Mrs. julius Eckel and
Mrs. Timothy McDermott by the for
mer's husband, Saturday night, in the
saloon of the latter's husband, No. 297
Henderson street-Chief Of Police Muir
ply has instructed the captains of each
precinct to make a personal inspection
of al the saloons in their respective
bailiwicks containing curtained booths or
alcoves or side rooms with doors and re-
port upon the character OF such resorts
and the class of people who frequent
them
After Julius Eckel shot down Mrs.
McDermott Saturday night, he wheeled
and shot his wife, who was drinking
with two men in a side booth, entered
through heavy portieres. The fact that
his wife had left their home the day
before and that he, in his search for
her, found her drinking with men in one
of the booths of McDermotts saloon,
was what led TO the shooting of the two
women.
The captains last night instructed
every man on post to report all such
places on their respective posts, their To-
cation, names of propristors and names
of women, if possible, who frequent
them.
Since the creation Of an Excise Board
with an Excise Inspector the police have
somewhat relaxed their FORMER close sur
veillance of such places. Prior to this
they kept close watch on Them and sew
eral years ago made a crusade, during
which a number of raids were made. At
that time some of the wooden booths ac-
tuahy had spring locks on the DOORS
The police have always been hampered
somewhat in dealing with this matter
through the fact that there is no law
WHICH says CHefe SEAL not De diioWSd
such booths or sideroems in any saloon;
nor is there any law which prohibits a
woman from going into a saloon.
What has been accomplished in the
matter thus far has been through re-
quests of the police that the proprietors
of such places render them respectable.
Some refused to comply. These have
been under surveillance of the police.
who have reported all the information
they could gain.
The Excise Board was investigating
complaint against McDermott's place
when the two murders occurred.

NO MAN OR WOMAN
CAN HAVE DYSPEPSIA
And Still Be Agre able, Attractive
and Pop lar--A Certain Cure
in Rraoh of All.

There is nothing that viii put you to
the front 50 rapidly in the business or
social world as a cheerful disposition and
pleasant appearance Other things
being equal, people will so out of their
way to give the fellow a lift who al
ways wears a cheerful ceuntenance. The
man or woman with cranky disposition
or a sour face will always meet with an
Indifferent if net chilly reception. The
commercial traveller, who is the recog
nized business barometer, appreciates
better than any one the value of this
rule and governs his actions accordingly.
Dyspepsia destroys all the agreeable
qualities that enter into man or wom-
ans makeup. 1t is almost a human inn
possibility for any one with a severe case
of dyspepsia to look pleasant. The con-
tinuous, miserable, cast-down feeling is
bound to make itself shown in the ap-
pearance and conversation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
sufferers certain cure They are so re-
cognized all over the world. The cures
they have brought about and the happi-
ness they have caused and the suffering
they have relieved has made their name
household word in all the English
speaking world
The reason that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are a certain cure is that they
are a natural cure There is nothing to
prevent them curing. They contain the
essential ingredients of the digestive fiu-
ids of the stomach and simply do the
identical work of the stomach, reliev-
ing that weakened organ and per-
mitting it to rest and recuperate.
Could anything be more simple or
natural? They are bound to cure.
They cannot help themselves It is
just like putting a new stomach into
man--if that were pessible-and let
ting the old one go off on vacation.
Rest is what it needs. Nature viii do
her own work Of restora ton, never fear.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at so cts. box. All
druggists means all druggists. They have
become so necessary to the people that
the druggist simply has to keep them
anyway. There are other remedies that
ne can make much more money on if he
could sell them, but he can't. He will
not take chances or losing his customers
| by not always having on hand a supply
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia xablets.

The New York fremen, who went to
Baltimore to help fight the great con-
lagration in that city, returned last
night, arriving at the Pennsylvania de-
pot at nine o'clock. There were nine
mpanies-eight engines and one hook
and ladder truck. The men arrived in
coaches in the main station and the APP
cars on a temporary siding at Plymouth
street so that they could be easily un-
loaded. 1t required three hours to un-
load them and hitch the horses thereto.
Meanwhile the men forMed in the wait
ing room in the ferry house on the north
side, where they were served with eof-
fee and sandwiches provided by Fire
Commissioner Nicholas j. Hayes, who,
with Fire Chief Croker, Assistant Fire
Chief Kruger and John J. Downs of the
New oYrk Fire Department, came ever
to meet the men. Fire Chief Croker
came over in his fire gig. He was the
first to greet Battalion Chief Howe, the
hero 70 the Windsor Hotel fire in New
York, who was in charge of the men.
The Chief and the men were congratu-
lated on their good work and in the
name of the Mayer and people of New
York were commended for the services
rendered the people of Baltimore.
Battalion Chief Dingler of this city
was an interested spectator of the-work
Of unloading the apparatus from the
cars and of the departure of the various

Twenty third street ferries.
Captain Carroll the efficient superin-
tendent of the ferries, was warmly
thanked fer courtesies and services rem
dered in getting the engines and truck
fro mthe fiat cars in Plymouth street
to the ferry house.
Though the metropolitan fire fighters
were worn out with their labors since
Monday morning of unceasing fire gght-
ing, they were in coed humor and proud
of the splendid record they made in COM
petition with the fremen FROM other
cities in fighting the grearest confagra-
ton in the history of this country.

that never during his term in Office was
there ever any complaint that the pres
sure of water furnished by Jersey City
was not sufficient for fire and domestic
purposes.
SIN fact,n said Mr.. Cook. 81 knew
positively that the pressure was always
sufficient to throw stream over the tai
lest building in the town without the use
of fire engines. The pressure at the in
take at Harrison was at al times over
sixty pounds, and during the last several
years has been nearly seventy pounds"
Mr.. Cook insister, and was not shaken
by cross examination, that the gravity
pressure, even before 1897, when Jersey
City began to get water from the East
Jersey Water Company, was always am
pie for all purposes.
Councilman Van Deeren, recalled, tes-
titled that he had been in the fire insur-
ance business for twenty-five years, and
that no complaint, so far as he knew, had
ever been made by any insurance COM
pany that the water pressure at Harris
on was insufficient He declared that
the pressure was always sufficient, and
that the insurance companies thought so
wei lof the fire protection at Harrison
that they gave the same rate on property
there as at Newark.
Villain ]. Davis, acting Town Coun-
Gil during the absence of Senator Bar
rett in Europe swere to his part in the
transaction. He said that as acting
counsel, the contract as executed by Jer-
sey City was delivered to him July II in
the presence of the members of the Town
Council. He examined it, and finding
no flaws in it, thereafter requested
President Sullivan, of the Council, to af
fix his signature and make it binding up
on Harrison, in accordance with the res
olution of July I. Mr.. Sullivan refused
to sign it. The Town Clerk was sub
poenaed to produce records showing the
tax budget and the state of the water
finances, but he was too i'll to appear.
