who performed an autopsy and declared
he found no traces of a criminal opera
tion. The case is, however, still pend
ing in court.
Counsellor Myron Ernst. accompanied
by Mrs. Peters, was present at last
nigat's meeting and asked thar if he
brought forth sufisiant humber Of wit
ncsses to declare that the house itself
was a reputable one. would the Board
consider new application for a license
He was told it would.
Samuel Myerson, who keeps a saloon
and poolroom at No 634 Communipaw
avenue, was cited before the Board to
show cause why his saloon license should
not be revoked. The main complainant
against him was from Police Captain
Cummings, of the Fourth Precinct. Testi-
mony was given By the Captain, Detec-
tive Hottie, several patrolmen and other
witnesses, showing that Myerson not
only allowed boys to frequent his place,
but that he purchased and received stolen
goods from them. Several mothers Of
boys who frequented the resort gave tes-
timony against it. Charles We're, who
recently was employed by Archibald &
Gallagher, grocers, to deliver goods, gave
some damaging testimony against Myer-
son. Goods taken from the store were
found in AIyerson's place by Detective
Hottie and were identified by the gro
Gerry firm. Young We're and Myerson
were arrested and the case is still pend
ing. Myerson denied that he allowed
minors to frequent his place after the
saloon was opened. He admitted uhat
boys frequented his poolroom before his
bar was opened up, but insisted there
was no law against that He was rep
resented by J. Herbert Potts. Owing
to misunderstanding, brewery agent
who is financially interested and who
was desirous of posing as a witness for
Myerson, was NOT present last night.
The Board expressed a willingness to al
low Myerson to produce his witnesses.
and the case was adjourned until the
next meeting Of the Board. II looks,
however. as if Myerson's license will be

CAUGHT A TARTAR
Old Missouri Panhandlel
Recently Out of Prison
Gives Two Policemen
a Big Fight.

An old man with a shambling gait
ambled up and down lower Montgomery
street yesterday afternoon pan-hand-
ling" pedestrians. He was a trife un-
steady on his pins, apparently from old
age and feebleness, but when refused
would pour forth d torrent Of vile abuse
on the world in general and its uncharit-
able people The old mans breath
smelt Of liquor too. Though slightly
stopped with age his shoulders were
broad and he was. stockily. built.
|. About the time the theatres were let
ting out last night the old man was in
the neighhorhood of the Hotel Montgom-
cry haranguing crowd. Police Captain
Cody and Detective-sergeant Dan Lee
came down sthe street and seeing the
conm0tion and the cause Of it Captain
Cody told the old man that he and Lee
were police officers and that il he did
not move along and be quiet he'd put
more excited than ever and heaped the
walls Of his wrath upon the Captain, who
grabbed him and told him he was under
arrest But the Captain had grabbed a
tartar The Old man with d considera-
Bile show of strength attempted TO wrig-
gle out of the Captains strong grasp.
Lee took hold of him TO help the Cap
tain. 1t was then the old man began to
put up a fight. His exhibition-of strength
was that of Hercules.
Both the Captain and Lee are endowed
with muscles and grips of steel. but both
found they had their hands full The old
man was an adept in all the grips,
twists. trips, etc, known to the old-tin1e,
ais well as the modern, wrestler, topped
off with the jiu-jitsu tactics Of Japan
csc athlete. and he was as slippery as
an eel. All the Chief and Lee could do
was to down the old fellow and sit on
him until the patrol wagon responded to
a telephone call, and they had the work
Of their lives to keep their seats on the
old man and avoid his fists, toesheels and
teeth.
The prisoner was booked as James
Hennesses, 65 years old, moulder By
occupation.
Born in Ireland, suppose" said
Sergeant Duffy who was looking at him
while two stalwart policemen held his
twisted arms in their strong grasp.
Nav. casne from the old State of
Missouri said the prisoner.
That he came from the State.of Mis-
souri, was true, as in one of his pockets
was a paper showing that he had been
recently discharged from the Missouri:
State Prison, after serving il ten-year
term
Police Justice Higgins sent him to jail
for thirty days.

What the Substitute Of the
Duff Measure Provides
and the Reforms It
Effects.
BOARD or SUPERVISORS HAPPY
Hostile Influences Have Been
Overthrown and Victory
Has Been Gained

Special to The Jersey city Ners.'o
TRENTON, April I 1905. Since the
rumor that the original tenement house
law introduced BY Mr.. Duff, Of Hudson.
passed, doubts have arisen as to wkat
amendments TO the bill were made.
What did pass in the last hours Of the
session was the substitute for Mr.. Duff's
measure, which was prepared By the
House judiciary Committee
This the friends of tenement-house re-
form has more thoroughly substar-
tiated tenement-house supervision and
control in this State. In fact. the MEM
bers of the Board Of Tenement-housa
Supervision feel that their hands have
been upheld in fiattering manner. and
the overthrow of influences hostile to
the object Of the board has been efFectess.
Principal among the features Of die
original act of March 25. 1904, retained
in the amended measure is that which
provides that dwellings housing three
families shall be included in the laws
governing tenements. This has been IL
tanned, although hot fght was made
against it.
Other minor victories gained lie in the
retention of the provisions that dumb
waiter shafts cannot be constructed Of
wood, and the size Of courts must cor
respond in area pro rata with the height
Of the building.
Rear tenements are net permitted aud
the attempts to raise from fva stories
to six the regulation for sre-proosng
fats was defeated.
The bill as originally planned ts END
the tenement-heuse law Of 1904 was in
troduced BY Assemblysnan Duff early in
February. He was believed to ba act
ing in the interests Of the Jersey City op-
ponents of the law which have been
working against it ever since it was
passed.
Before the bill was sent to the printer,
hewever, the clause relating to rear ten
ements was stricken cut through ths
pressure of public opinion The bin was
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
which body held two hearings. All the
first appeared those persons who opposed
the existing law PromiAent among
them were representatives of the New
Jersey Chapter of Architects, Of whom
Herman Kreitler is leader Al the
second hearing the Tenement House
Commission appeared and told its side
OF the story with the result that the
committee itself drew substitute bill.
which is now law After hearing beth
sides the committee decided that tares-
family house should be elassed as ten-
ement. and that the fre-prooting Of I've
story flats must be insisted upon. aud
that elevator shafts must be protected
from the spread Of FIRE in the way laid
down in the original law
The substitute measure vas carefully
gone over by the secretary Of the cesa-
mission, Charles J Allen. and the repre-

Tenth Ward Democrats will decide
tonight whether James j. Kelly Pat
rick Rogers, John J. Heayey or Egbert
Seymour is their choice for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Sheriff One or the
other of the candidates named will be
given the endorsement Of the Tenth
Ward Democratic club. AS Kelly and
Rodgers are residents of the ward and
active members of the club there won't
be much chance for either of the other
two aspirants for the nomination.
though each has few friends among
the members. Kelly seems to be most
in favor and unless there is a change in
the program he will get the Endorsement.
Rumor prevailed last night and this
morning that oyertures had been made
to Kelly to withdraw from the contest in
the interest of Mr.. Seymour. If this be
true and Ma. Kelly gives up the fight, it
is probable that whatever course he pur-
sues win be approved by the club. He
is the ward leader and if he should ad-
wise that Seymour be indorsed q major
ity Of the club will stand by him. Such
action, however, might cause friction, as
the friends Of Rodgers will insist that he
should be given the preference over a
man who is not a resident Of the ward.
