FIREMEN'S NEW LAW.
Executive Committee of Relief
Association Meets and
Places the Bill In Nc
Carter's Hands.
special to '-rhe Jersey city News.")


TRENTON, Feb. 9, 1904.-The execu-
tive committee of the New Jersey Fire
mems Relief Association met at the build
ing of the Exempt Firemen's Association
on South Warren street yesterday to dis
cuss legislation desired by the fremen.
The bill which it is proposed to intro
duce at this session of the Legislature,
and which it is expected will meet the
objections which the Supreme Court re-
Gently decided existed in the fremen's
exemption act, was fully discussed. The
proposed bill has ben placed in the
hands of Attorney General McCartSl,
and he is to state whether or not it con-
tains constitutional weaknesses.
If it viii fully embrace the members
of the relief associa ton there will be an
endeavor to have the measure made COM
prehensive enough to also take in the
members of the Exempt Firemen's Asso-
ciation throughout the State.
James W. Huston, who is the chair
man of the executive committee of the
State Relief Association, was also made
chairman of the committee whose en-
deavors will be put forth to pass a com
stitutional tax exemption law, applicable
to the two organizations of firemen.
The other members of this committee
are: Secretary, Edward Jacobi of Irving
ton, and P. ]. Murray, secretary of the
State Association.
The Newark branch of the Relief As
sociation has sent an appeal to every
member of both houses of the Legislature
to support the measure when it is intro
duced 1t is understood that the Legisla-
ture representatives from Essex and
Hudson counties are pledged to aid in
its passage.

HIS VICIOUS CORK LEG,
1t Makes Muller So Tired That It
Drives Him to Drink.


Adolph Muller, twenty-eight years old,
of No. 211 Railroad avenue, was ar
raigned before Police Justice Higgins in
the First Criminal Court this morning
on charge OF being drunk and disor-
derly. He limped as he took up his posi-
ton inside the rail.
'Why did you get drunk?" asked the
Justice.
"Your Honor, my cork leg made me
drunk" answered Miller.
Your cork leg?" queried the Justice,
astonished. "How on earth could your
cork leg make you drunkY%
"Well, you see, your Honor, it's this
way: Ny cork leg makes me tired and
l have to rest can't rest on the streets
this cold weather, so / go into saloons
to rest, and / can't go into saloon and
use the saloon keepers furniture and
heat without buying drink on princi-
ple."
Miller admitted that he frequently be-
came tired during the day. He was dis
charged.

S. 6 W. REPORTS
Good SHOWING.
Money at It's Disposal Used
to Best Advantage and
Most Economically.
MORGAN ST DOCK TO BE UTILIZE
Suggestions for the Improve
ment of the South Cove
Prop rty.
MORGAN ST DOCK TO BE UTILIZE

The annual report of the Street and
Water Commissioners, which was sub
mitted to Mayor Pagan few days ago,
makes an admirable showing considering
the amount of money allowed it for vari-
Gus purposes by the Republican Board
of Finance. A study of the statistical in
formation furnished, to which great
amount of space of the typewriter doc
ument is devoted, shows that the Board
has used the money allowed it to most
economical and the very best advantage.
The Board needs more money to make
improvements which are absolutely
needed
The intimaton that the Morgan Street
Dock, the only public dock controlled by
the City, should be exchanged for more
suitable pier, is regarded as wise by all
who are familiar with the situation. As
the report says: Access to this wharf is
gradually becoming congested. Adjacent
property has ben slowly but surely ac-
quired by the railroad (Pennsylvania),
whose already enormous constantly in
creasing freight traffic will, we appre-
hend, require additional facilities in the
near future. 1t is reasonable to exject
that proper demands whereby this prop
erty can be utilized for the purpose for
which it was acquired must be met some
how, and as the fitting of it for railroad
purposes will so pocket our dock as to
destroy in a great measure its usefulness,
we feel that when the time arrives, reci-
procity should permit of an interchange
of properties whereby city and corpora
tive interests will both be benefited.
In regard to the South Cove grant,
one of the city's most valuable assets,
the Commissioners lament the fact that
moneys were not allowed for even the
partial improvement of the property, and
that the property remains in the same
condition as in past years. The Street
and Water Board has been exceedingly
anxious to improve the Cove by dredg
ing it and erecting piers thereon, know
ing that knowing that it would bring in
considerable net revenues to the city.
Even as matters are at present, the
Board is endeavoring to interest some
local merchants and manufacturers with
the idea of having the grant improved
by private capital, nominal annual rent
for piers to be paid and the improve
ments to become city property at the
expiration of twenty years.
The Board also laments the ridiculous
ly low sum of $42,500 per annum for
the cleaning of 1115 miles of streets,
which sum has not been augmented in
several years, despite the fact that i'm
proved streets are constantly increasing
in mileage.

mott, took charge of the body of Mrs.
McDermott.

charge of the body of Mrs. Eckel, for her
father, who claimed it, as soon as he.was
informed of the terrible tragedy, al
though they had been estranged> on ac-
count of her wayward tendencies for
many months. Her father is William II.

phone Company. 1t is said that a recon
ciliation between father and daughter
was about to be effected when the trag-

BEYER ACQUITTED
Judge Blair Directed the
Jury to Bring in the
Verdict and the
Jury Did Not

Prisoner Was Accused of Civ
ing Pau bock Rough on

Saloon.
40 KO.IVE FOR THE CRIME SHOWN

George Boyer was placed on trial on
the charge of numbering Paul Book by
giving him dose of Rough on Rats,
in the Hoboken saloon of Gustav Schulz
man some weeks ago, yesterday in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer, was this
morning acquitted by the jury. This was
done by direction of Judge Blair, who ri
recoed a verdict of aequittaL The jury
did not leave the box until after render
ing the verdict.
As soon as the State had exhausted its
witnesses, Counsellor james A. Hamil,
who, with Counsellors Alexander Simp-
son and Charles Egan, was engaged to
defend Beyer, moved for verdict of
acquittal on the ground that the State
had absolutely failed to show motive
for the alleged crime.
The case was yesterday laid over until
this morning on account of the absence
of Detective Kerrigan, who was wanted
to give some testimony in connection with
the extradition of Boyer from New York,
which was said to have been given at the
coroner's inquest. This was to the effect
that Boyer had todl the detective in the
Tonlbs of New York that he had assisted
in the poisoning of two men in Hoboken.
The detective denied this morning that
he gave such testimony at the coroner's
inquest
Book died recently in st. Mary's Hos
pital in Hoboken, and at the time it was
alleged that his death was due to a sui
eide pact. The evidence given yesterday
went to show that Book, while drinking
with Boyer in Shcuhmann's saloon, left
and returned shortly afterward with
package Of Rough on Rat powders;
that Boyer opened the package, and tax
ing a small portion on the blade of
pen-knife, emptied it into a glass of selt-
zer and that, on Books request for some
of the powder, Boyer emptied three or
four times as much in Books glass as
he had taken himself. Both drank the
contents of their respective glasses and
Boyer left the saloon, saying he was go
ing to Ceney Island. Book was shortly
after stricken i'll in the saloon and died
in st. Mary's Hospital from arsenical
poisoning. Evidence was submitted to
show that Book knew the dangerous
character of the poison, and that, at the
hospital, while dying, joked over his con-
dition, saying that he had had a good
time in life and was ready to die, and
that he was suffering from ''katzenjam-
mer.''
