MRS. CORDOvA SOLICITOUS

Special to s'The Jersey city News.s1
TRENTON, April 10 .1905-Mrs. J..
r. Cordoya, wife of the deposed South
River Methodist minister. now serving
four-year sentence in State Prison for
having abandoned and assaulted her, has
made inquiry regarding her husbands
welfare, but she does not want him to
knowsit. She wrote letter to the Mid
dlesex County Sheriff asking whether her
husband was comfortable at the prison
and whether he could receive dainty food
from the outside. She also wanted to.
know if he can be visited bF his children
Warden Osborne. Of the State Prison,
received Mrs. Cordovas letter yesterday
and replied stating that Cordova was
getting along as comfortably as could be
expected under the circumstances that
he was being held in a quarantine cell
for fourteen days and at the end of that
time he would be placed at work in the
clothing factory and be taught. how to.
operate a machine.
The Warden also stated that Cordova's
children could visit him at least once a
month and that every courtesy would be.
extended to them, but that Julia ~owne
would not be allowed to enter the prison.
Cordova said yesterday that he ex-
pected to be released next week on a writ
of habeas. corpus pending an appeal Of
his case to the Supreme Court.
Warden Osborne says that Cordoya
recently applied for an interview, but
when called to the prison centre where
the warden awaited him, he refused to
talk unless in private This request was
denied. From what Cordova afterwards
told the deputy keeper in his wing, il
is thought that he wanted to ask for per-
mission to correspond with Julia Bovine
He was told that such request could only
be granted by Mr.. Osborne, who says
that he will never grant it.
According to prison rule, Cordoya cam
not be allowed to receive or send letters
TO Miss Bovine, and this rule will be
strictly enforced.
Many letters pour into the prison for
Eordova, and all are censored before any
are delivered to him, and the ones that
the prison authorities do not want Cor
doya to see are kept away from him.

peculiarly mixed up case is that Of
Adam Oshrin, who was fined So in the
First Criminal Court Saturday for not
exposing his license for the running Of a
saloon at No. 81 Sussex street. He was
charged with selling liquor without Ii
eense. He is a brewery agent, and Tof-
Fl Crapriaek is the manager of the sa-
loon. Crapriack practically owns the
saloon, but not being naturalized citi-
zen 0shrin took out the license for the
saloon Recently Crapriacs changed his
brand of beer
Recently City Attorney Goldenhorn
wrote letter to Police Captain Cody
on a letter head of the City Attorneys s
office, calling attention to the fact that
the saloon, No. 81 Sussex street, was be-
ing run without a license and advising
that the place be closed up. Captain
Cody investigated and said he could not
close up the place as license certificate
was found there. A few hours later Mr..
Goldenhorn asked Captain Cody to send
a policeman there TO preserve the peace
as a constable was going down to re-
pleyin the license. A policeman was sent
along. The repleyin was made out in
the name of Oshrin, When Constable
Sweeney and the policeman entered and
ma dIe known tlleiF business Crapriack
took their license certificate from the wall
and put it in his pocket. Property cam
not be replevined from the person Crap
RACK said he was there as manager and
was supposed to protect the property.

his license
In court last Tuesday Cpapriack told
Justice Higgins that he was Oshrinis
manager and the jnstice said Oshrin was
the man that should have been arrested
and not Crapriack The case went over
until Saturday when E. A. Ransom sat
as acting justice. Lawyer Spraggin APP
peared for Oshrin and the latter, in re-
sponse to questions, said he owned the
place.
THAT settles it, said the acting JUS
tice, you will have to pay a fine of So

bar
He pad the fine protestingly.
After the case was settled Mr.. Col
denhorn entered the court and said To-
the acting justice that he did wrong in
IMPOSING fine on Oshrin and that he
should remit il.

John G. Kaiser, prospective Republi-
can candidate for Sheriff, is wearing a
contented smile these days. Mr. Kaiser
had a confidential chat with Col. Dickin-

that there viii be no hitch this time such

Mayor Pagan has again taken the pub
lie into his confidence on the subject of
equal taxation. He declares that the
Legislature did not live up to its prom
ises. Who expected it would ? The
Mayor when he took the stump last fall
for the Republican ticket knew as well
as everybody else that equal taxation
was impossible in the event of the sue
cess of the Republican party. Yet he
opposed men Oh the Democratic ticket
who he knew were sincere in their adj
vocaey of taxation reform. The Mayor
in his latest statement says that the fight
must be kept up. Next fall he will be
found supporting the Republican legisla-
tive candidate and opposing such DEM
ocratie advocates Of equal taxation as

one way to solve the equal taxation prob

pie, and that is by electing Democratic
