Jersey City Took Another
Fall Out Of the Canadians
Yesterday, Some Say By
Pure Luck.
BlSONS AND BIRDS Even
SAILORS TOOK THEIR REVENGE
ON THE BRoNCos AND MON
TREAL WHITEWAsHED PiRoyI-
DENCE.

Jersey City took another game from
Toronto yesterday. The score was 3 to
/. Toronto men say the Skeeters won
by Luck Linderman was hit hard, but
the Toronto drives were misplaced and
on three occasions with men running the
bases double PLAYS resulted. Apparently
the Skeeters could not hit Mueller, who,
however, issued three passes, I'LL of
which resulted in the trio of runs made
by the Skeeters to the lone tally scored
by Toronto. A funny man might be
StemptedAto remark that this proves that
the Skeeters can beat the Canadians
without hitting the ball! The Canadians
made seven hits and the Skeeters FIVE
Three by the latter were made in the
first inning but produced no runs. The
three runs We're made in the second and
third innings. Torontos lone tall, was
made in the first on Whites hit and
steal and Soffel's two-bagger. Singles
by Merritt and Pattee in the first were
wasted. Halligan reached first ih the
second inning, but was forced BY Pat
tee. Weeds lifted short fly to right
but Billiard muffed it. Vandergrift sent
one in Dillsrd's territory and scored Pat
Zee. In the third, with one out, Mueller
passed Merritt and Keister and then
made a balk. Cassidy singled tp left
and scored both the free excursionists
Merritt's splendid fielding was the prin-
cipal feature Of the game. Umpire Nor
ans decisions did not please the Toronto
players and they chased him after the
game.

ELECTION LAW TANGLE.

Special to ''rhe Jersey City News."1
TRENTON. August 10, 1s05.-A tan
gle has been discovered in chapter 5 of
the laws passed by the last Legislature
and approved by Governor Stokes Feb
ruary 10, abolishing spring elections in
townships and boroughs and combining
them with the general election in No
vember. The mix-up is giving the eoun-
ty and municipal political committees
considerable trouble. and the local DEM
ocratic committee has referred the mat
Ter to Attorney General NcCarter for an
opinion TO set the matter straight.
The bill was Assembly No. I. intro
duced by Mr. Gibbs, of Camden County.
and affects all officers except members OF
school boards or school trustees. Under
its provisions the terms of all officers ex-
'eept justices of the peace hereafter
elected in any townshop or borough shah
commence at noon January 1. succeeding
their election, and continue for the re-
spective terms already fixed by law. This
law makes it necessary to nominase and
elect November all the officers in the
townships and boroughs that would have
been elected last spring under the cid
law.
The hitch in the arrangement is that
the new law IS absolutely silent as
manner of nominate: the candidatesS
side the cities This leaves ii an open
question whether the primary election
law as applied to cities should govern
aud the candidates be chosen September
-. or whether the candidates for town
ship and borough officers be named in
caucus, as under the old law
The situation is complicated by the
fact that on or before September = all
petitions indorsing candidates must be
filed with the township or municipal
clerk. and the committees have no au-
thority as to how to proceed to meet this
requirement.
Benjamin Godshalk, acting for the To-
cal Democratic city committee, referred
the question to the Attorney General sew
eral davs ago. but no decision has vsh
been rendered.

Officials in Conference Yes
terday Decide to Move the
Staff to a Place Of Safety.
WILL RENT A BUILDING
SEVERAL SITES ARE UNDER con
sEDERATIoN-NEw LAW MAY
BE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO
BUILD.

There was conference yesterday in
the Mayors Office over the project of
removing the staff at Police Haadquar-
ters and the men of the First Precinct
to other quarters. AS already announc-
ed, James Garlin, an expert builder. after
making a thorough examination of the
present headquarters building, reportea
ITO the Finance Board last Wednesday
thst the building was unsafe. Since 1sr.
Cariin's report was submitted it has
been decided to abandon the building as
quickly as possible. The building is to
be shored up for the present. so as to
protect surrounding property in the
event Of its collapse. It was decided
at Yesterdays conference to rent build
ing 70 Be used as temporary headauar-
ters and First Precinct station. Several
buildings that would serve the purpose
were suggested. One is located in
Grand street. another in Grove street,
but it il possible that a. building nearer
the preseAt headquarters site will be Sc
curs,,
Tie geaeral opinion is that Headquar-
tars AID fDe first precinct station should
be located in the same building. If a
suitable building cannot be secured, how
ever, it IS possible that Headquarters
will BE located in the City Hail. The
matter Of securing new temporary quar-
ters was left in the hands of the Police
Commissioners. who attended the con-
ference Police Inspector ArchiboId also
attended the conference. The law de.
paStnent was represented by City Attor.
neg Robert Carey.
The question of erecting new build
ing was discussed. Mr.. Carey said that
81 far as he had been able TO discover
the laws that would give the city author
ity to issue bonds to erect police head
quarters or station houses had been ex-
hausted and if would be necessary to Sc
cure new law. There is no other way
of erecting new headquarters building.
The new quarters TO be secured are to be
LEASED for two years. it is said. Mr..
Carey said it might be possible to find a
law passed in the interest of Newark or
some other city in the State under which
Jersey City could issue bonds to com
struct a new building, but he doubted it.
The City Hall Commission. consisting
Of City Treasurer Ely, City Hall Custo-
dian James Connolly and Comptroller
Hough attended the conference.

Lively times are looked for at the
Democratic primaries in the Ninth Ward
Daniel g. Lewis, who is at the head of
the movement to have John ]. Heavey
nominated for Sheriff, is determined, if
possible, to carry the ward against the
advocates of Ebgert Seymour, and at
the same time prove to the Democratic
leaders that he exerts more influence
with the rank and file Of the party than
Executive Committeeman Wogan. who
succeeded him last spring as ward leader.
Lewis is Still a member of the Demo-
cratic County Committee and he has
with him in the present fight several
other Committeeman. Wogan and his
friends realize they have a hard fight on
their hands to carry the ward for Sey-
7holr, blrt they are confident they will
accomplish the task Many Democrats
who are not interested one way or the
other in the Shrieyalty contest are help
ing Wogan along because they do not
like Lewis or his political methods. The
Heaveyites are strong in one or two pre-
cincts, but as the delegates will be
elected throughout the ward. Wogan and
his friends will, it is believed, manage
to pull the organization ticket through.
This is the first primary since Lewis
was depesed, and it will be test of
popularity between the new and the old
leader
