CHIEF KEEPS COOL
Head Of the City Police
Force Says He Does Not
Fear Action b. the
Grand Jury.

Justice Dixon's ..talk' to the Grand
Jury on Saturday, in which he told the
members. Of that august body that, in his
opinion, they had not done their full duty
in considering the Newark avenue pool-
room case, occasioned considerable stalk
Saturday and Yesterday among all
classes. but especially in official cir
cles The Justices intimation that The
entire police department was at least
guilty of negligence in ascertaining the
existence Of the alleged poolroom in
question, or wilful disregard of its ex-
istence was looked upon By all as strong
tall" from the bench, and caused more
or less- of a sensation among many of the
subordinates. Under the circumstances.
however, few members of the department
are inclined 70 discuss the MATTER for pub
Iication. Chief of Police Murphy,
though doubtless feeling lyeenly the re-
marks Of Justice Dixon, does not appear
outwardly 10 be worried to a very mark
ed degree He says lie believes the pub
lie should know what has been done BY
the police for the suppression Of pool

BOSS SYSTEM BAD.
Sunday CALI Says the Peo-
pie Of Newark Demand the
Devorce Of Corporations
and Politics.

Imagine Major Carl Lentz's state Of
mind after he had read this editorial in
the Newark Sunday Calp'.
Nine-tenths Of the citizens of Newark
agree with ex-Comptroller Gibson in his
demand for the divorce Of corporations
from local politics and the abolition Of
the corrupt boss system which now
afflicts the county The conditions are
notoriousIy worse than Mr.. Gibson de-
scribed them in his address before the
Young Mems Congress last week. The
city and county and even the Federal
Government offices here are being used
to promote an organization of machine
politicians who do not represent their
own party and who are in a hopeless
minority at the polls. Yet we are told
that the party would suffer if there
was rebellion against this gang When
a party is no more than boss and the
henchmen he collects by means of public
offices given, it is high time that party
disappeared to emerge purified and re-
formed.
We cannot doubt that the time for
action win End the people ready to act.
The object should be kept clearly in
view. 1t is the destruction Of the corpo-
ration controlled boss system At the
next election these conspirators against
the public welfare will try 10 nominate an
inoffensive ticket. Good men will be
named, without doubt. BY the very
persons whose misdeeds are responsible
for the present state of rebellion: but
they will make a mistake if they permit
their names to be used by the machine.
Essex County wants no one in office who
bows the knee to the machine. Only d
distinct declaration by candidate that
he repudiates the present management
of the tion-ridden machine Of the
county. in all its work, win be regarded
as sufficient.
No half-measures this time The last
contest was supposed to be conclusive.
but It appears the lesson was not learned.
Looks as if the Republicans and their
corporation allies were getting it all
along the line.

WASHINGTON HEARS. !

WASHINGTON, May 29, 1905 On
fetal information received in Washins-
ton from American agents in Japan in=
dieate that Admiral Togo's Japanese aest
has achieved victory over thA
Russian Baltic feet, the last hope
and resort Of the st. Petersburg Gov-
ernment. The news is vague and lack-
ing in details, and in its most de6ntts
form was contained in this telegram
dated Saturday from Lloyd C. Grisconas
the United States Minister at Toxic. !
Japanese Government announces thas
their feet engaged the Baltic squadron
this afternoon in Straits Of Tsushiina.
which were held. Cannonading was heard
from the shores" !"
The Japanest Minister received news
which he said was of an indefinite chars
acter. but indicated that the engagements
had resulted favorably to the Japanese.
At the Russian Embassy absolutely
nothing has been received and nothing Is
expected, for the reason, it was ex-
planned, that the Japanese have control
Of all Of the cable lines to which news Of
the fight might be carried at this time.
Officials of the embassy are pleased over
the lack Of details Of the engagement, as
thy assert it means that the Japanese
have nothing Of favorable character to
transmit.
In Government and diplomatic circles
the greatest interest is shown in the re-
suit of the engagement, which is consid-
cred by nearly everybody to be either
the beginning of the end, if the japanese
have won victory. Or the turning point
Of the war, if Roiestvensky has van-
quished his opponent
Government officials are confident that
if the Japanese have been successful.
peace is near. It is thought that the
Russian Government cannot hold out any
longer if its one remaining hope, the
Baltic feet, has been overcome or dis
persed. How Russia can go on with
the Japanese still masters Of the sea a.
well as Of the land, is not clear to Of
fcials at Washington
Russian officials here. however. viii !
not admit that the resources of the Rus
sian Government are by any means ex-
hausted, or that the end Of the war
hinges upon the present naval engage
ment.
All Of the information received ii
Washington was sent to President Kooss-
yelt.
At the Russian Embassy all news con-
cerning the engagement is regarded With
considerable skepticism. coming, as Il
does, entirely from Japanese sources.
