TO SAVE WOMEN

Especial to '"rhe Jersey City News.")
HACKENSACK, Jan. A, 1905.-Al-
though the execution OF Mrs. Antoinette
Tolla. of Hackensack, Bergen Couty, is
set for January II, three days after the
first session of the Legislature, it has
been reported that her friends have been
diligently at work with Assemblymen to
inroduce a bill to forbid hangings in the
State Of New Jersey on the first day CT
the Legislature and hurry it through to
the signature of Governor Stokes before
the woman is hanged.
This idea osunds very nice, but laws
are not retroactive, and it is donbtful il
there is any power in the Legislature to
pass law follbidding the execution of a
sentence given legally before the law
was passed and yet not carried out be-
fore the new law went ineto force.
Unless the lawyers of Mrs. ToAa come
to her rescue and apply to the United
States Circuit Court here for a writ of
habea.s corpus, which would likely be
refused according to custom, the woman
stands good chance Of hanging.
OF course, Mrs. Tolla's lawyers could
apply to Governor Stokes for conven-
ing in special session of the court of
pardons, but the Governor win not say
what he would do i'll this eyent--not un7
til it comes before him officially. 1t was
rumored here yesterday that the Tolla
lawyers were preparing the petition for
a writ of habeas corpus to be argued
before United States Judge Lanning
next week in time TO prevent the wo-
mans hanging As the judge has no
discretion about granting an appeal to
the United States Supreme Court, should
he refuse to grant the writ. this appli-
cation in any result would save the wo-
mans life on January II.
The status Of the Valentino case is
much different from the Tolla one. for
Mrs. Nalentinas case is before the
United States supreme court and in the
event of refusal of writ of habeas
corpus. she would have 10 be resen-
fenced to death. 4 law passed aud on
the statute books before she was bs0ught
up for sentence would be bar to her
getting the death penalty.

WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK

n
While the rain was pouring in torrents
last night an exciting scene took place
in front of the Russian Catholic Church
at Greene and Sussex streets. Six hun
dred members of the congregation had re-
sponded to circular announcing the an
nual election Of officers Of the church.
They found not only the doors of the
church locked, but even the iron gates
in front of the church. There are two
factions in the congregation. The six
hundred faithful marched to Hollard's
Hall, a block away. They sent for
Counsellors Engelke and Brochhurst for
advice and held meeting in the rain
in front of the church and elected the
following officers
Samuel Barak, president; Lucas Paul
izka, secretary; Murus Tarkey, treasur-
er; NJ. n. Pupjik, assistant treasurer,
and Dioncza Halod. ass slant secretary.
About forty other members of the con-
gregation tried to interrupt the. proceed

tied Franch ses and Equal Taxation.
Such an organization could proceed to
interest, the people of the adjoining coun-
ties, like Hudson. Passaic, Union, Nor
ris and Bergen, and would thereby gain
so much strength that attention would
have TO be paid to it.
The suggestion was then made that
such league could go farther afeld and
obtain even greater strength by doing so.
Already in some of the southern tier of
counties there are the beginnings of the
feeling that brought about the agitation
here, and this feeling could be developed
and guided under the direction of the
men who succeeded in Essex.
After some further discussion Mr..
Jones offered a motion that it was the
sense of the meeting that State league
be organized and that committee Of
/ five. Of which Chairman Anderson should
be one, should be named to investigate in
to conditions and report back to the com
mitttee. This was passed unanimously,
Rpower being given to the committee in
addition to add to its membership.

TRENTON, Jan. 4. 19O6.-Assembly-
man Henry Marelli, Of Passaic. is out
for pure ballot and will at the coming
Session of the Legislature present two
llsiwhieh, if passed, will help to purify
the elections Of the State.
One of the bills will make it misde-
meanor for any corporation, insurance
company OF other capitalized concerns TO
give In any way money for the prosecu-
tion;of political campaign. Tie second
bill will make it obligatory for the chair
men of the county committees and all
candidates to file a list of the moneys
received and spent in connection withthe
campaign and elections.
,On the subject Mr.. Marelli had this to
say
81 am out for a pure ballot, and be-
lieve that it is time something is done to
do away with the corruption that exists
previous to election and on the day that
elections are held. WHAT chances have
the young men Of to-day who wish to
get into politics? They are blocked by
the. machines and by the corporations
who have an axe TO grind. To my per-
sonal knowledge I know Of several young
men who lost fights at the last election
hecause they were fighting against men
who were backed by large corporations.
l am positive that these two bills | in
tend to present to the Legislature will
help to do away with the existing evils.
am not tied down by my party, nor am
/ in any way to be influenced by corpora
tions, so you cannot make it too strong
that / am in dead earnest about this
matter Of a pure ballot"
Mr. Mareli said that he would have
the earnest support Of the Passaic dele

presenting home rule measures at the
next session OF the Legislature. The

AS told, a meeting was held in Newark
December 20, and it was decided to make
an aggressive campaign for the passing
of local option measures at the coming
session Of the Legislature. 1t is the idea
to start such an agitation from eone end
| Of the State to the other that the Legis-
1ature viii be forced to place itself on
record either one way or the other
| A hearing will be asked for either be-
fore the Senate or the house and an ag-

Witnesses Testify As to the
Lack of Harmony in the
Official Household
INCOMPETENT NURSES
MISERABLE PROVISION FOR
HEATING THE BUILDING AND
INADEQUATE PROTECTION
AGAINST FIRE.

The Committee of the Board of
Health appointed to investigate the
management of the City Hospital held
Rnoe,her session in the Boards office in
the City Hail hast night, and examined
a number Of witnesses. The testimony
generally tended to show that there IS a
lack of help, that doctors and nurses do
not agree, that jealousy exists between
nurses, that there are no fire drills and
that employees have not even been in
structed what to do in case of fire.
The examination of witnesses last
night developed the fact that the heating
apparatus of the institution consists OF
-four small boilers. One of these is in
the basement of the administration build
ing. Two others are under the male
ward and one is under the female ward.
The four boilers had been in charge OF
extra ambulance driver Voorhees,, who
twas discharged Tuesday night by the
Board of Health for general incompe-
tence.-
The testimony given by William Fen
gado substantiated Commissioner Nc
Carthys charges concerning the safety
ef patients in case of fire. Mr.. Fengado
lis an insurance agent and he recently
inspected the building as an insurance
risk. He testified that the boiler under
the female ward is too near the ceiling,
that he found gas jets unprotected and
electric lamps out of order. In the fe-
male ward he said he found gas JET
(which had scorched the ceiling. He
found each building equipped with but
one fire escape and these We're thin iron
ladders. He declared that the real ex-
PITS from the building in case of fire is
aby way Of the etaircases.
DIR. Hauchet1. of the Hospital staff.
Twas recalled and in reply to questions
aadmitted that he had never been instruct
sted how to get patients out in case of
fire. He also told of nursemaid who
entered the female ward on Christmas
Eve in an intoxicated condition.
Rogert Pothwhite testified that on one
occasion of an ambulance emergency call
the ambulance went to Greenville in
stead Of Dodge& Bliss's factory at West
SEnd. He told Of another occasion when
Jas an ambulance driver he took Mary
NJohnson of No. 133 York street, to the
r{ospital, went out on another cali and
I'm his return found the Johnson woman
citing in stairway crying and de-
manding THAT she be taken back to her
arhome. She was suffering with heart dis
aease, and according to Pothwhite's tes-
.@timony. had been refused admission be-
,Icause there was no bed for her.
i Mary Dunnigan, who had been pa
,,tient in the hospital and was retained as
ia nurse during convalescence, gave some
what dana ging testimony concerning the
.,aetion of nurses, as did also Henrietta
! sBerg and Anna De Gouner.
