CATHOLIC CLERGY FOR
LIQUOR RESTRICTIONS.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 18:-Every
rector of a Catholic church in Hud-
son county has signed the petition
for the closing of saloons on Sunday
and for other restrictions OF the
liduor traffic. Signatures are also
being rapidly obtained throughout
the state.
These facts were disclosed at a
second meeting of the Catholic Rec
tors union of Hudson county, held
Tuesday afternoon at the rectory of
ST. Anne's church, at Congress street
and Hudson boulevard, Jersey City
Heights, of which the Rev. John
Maher is pastor.
The purpose of the meeting was to
draft additional clauses in the pro-
posed bill for restricting the sale of
intoXicants and providing for the en-
forcement of strict Sunday closing.
The measure is framed after the
plan of the Massachusetts liquor lie
ense law.
In general terms prOpOrtiOnately
high license fees and limitation of
the number of saloons in municipal
tiles other than cities were unani-
mously agreed upon in general terms,
without, for the present. any definite
amount or number being fixed.
For all the smaller municipalities
it was decided TO have a. section in
serted providing for local option.

LEWIS NIXON RETURNS.
Praises the Czar-DeClares Insur-
rectiOn Exaggerated.

Lewis Nixon, who has been in Rus
STA for more than a year directing the
construction of ten torpedo boats IN
the shipyards on the Black Sea, re-
turned to New York yesterday with
his wife on the steamer Kaiser VIII
helm II. of the North German Lloyd
line. Mr.. Nixon went to Tsarskoe-
Selo Just before embarking n mad
a long audience with the Gar.
He said yesterday hat it required
much red tape to reach the Gar, but
that his efforts We're well paid by an
unusually entertaining interview.
The conversation was in English.
The Car dwelt on the great advant-
ages offered by the land of the north
west, particularly the western lands
of Canada.
Nicholas II certainly has a re-
markable knowledge of America"
said Mr.. Nixon. He is greatly in
terested in this country, and express
cd his great admiration of President
Roosevelt. He referred also in terms
of praise to the attaches of the Amer
lean army and navy who accompan-
led the Russian army and navy in the
recent war.
"The Car knows the present sit
uation in Russia thoroughly, and is
making every effort TO have affairs
Strengthened out"
MI. Nixon said he had made no
new contract, and doubted if there
would be any forthcoming until a
definite policy was adopted.
OF the insurrection he said: This
talk Of great riots and savage revolu-
ton is all exaggerated. The revolu-
ton in ST. Petersburg did not cause
as much excitement as a general
election i'm New York"

COMMISSION
HAS VERY BUSY YEAR.
Plans Calling for $6,476, 900 Worth
of Tenement House Work
Approved.

TRENTON, Jan. 1S:-The second
annual report of the state board OF
tenement house supervision, which IS
in the hands of Governor Stokes,
seems. to offer a direct refutatlon or
the statements made by some archi-
tects and builders last year that the
enforcement of the law under which
the board works would put a stop to
the building industry in so far as it
relates to tenement house construc-
ton. Tables given in the report,
which covers the year ending Octo-
Der 81, 1905, show that the board
has approved plans for the erection
of new buildings aggregating $6,3O9,-
600. and for alterations to existing
tenements $167,000, a total of &c.
100000.
A record is given of S2S tenements
houses erected according to the ten
ement house act during the year, pro-
viding accommodations for 1865
families, or almost $4,000 persons.
Each tenement house is well con-
~structed and contains light and airy
apartments, each equipped with run
ming water. suitable toilet accommo-
dationS and safe and seryiceable fire
escapes.
The report says that the fact that
the apartments in the new law tene-
I ments We're rented before the build
ingS We're completed is evidence that
the tenants appreciate the advantages
of the new buildings and are eager to
take possession even at increased
rentals.
Other portions of the report are as
follows:
During the year the board has sue
ceeded in having fire escapes erected
on los old tenement houses, four
stories or more in height, while on
every new tenement house more than
three stories in height the plans must
show provision for fire escapes OF. the
kind required by law before the
plans can be approved. The work of
erecting fire escapes has been largely
IN the %congested districts of the larg-
ar cities, where the fire danger is
greatest. The report tells that in
many instances the owners of tene-
ment houses s~trenuously resisted the
orders of the department for the cree
ton of fire escapes, insisting that as
the buildings have stood over 40
years or more and have never had a
serious fire. there is no necessity for
expanding money for the fire escapes.
AN instance is given of an at
tempt at organized opposition in the
Italian section of Newark, where two
Of the leaders of the colony refused
10 obey the orders requiring the cree
ton of fire escapes on their four
story tenement houses. The case was
referred to the attorney general, af-
ter all efforts to persuade the owners
to comply with the law had failed.
When the cases came to trial the own
ers, advised by their lawyers, were
willing to compromise by erecting the
fire escapes, but the attorney general
ruled that as the cases had been talk
an into court there could be no set
Element other than compliance with
the law and the payment of the mini
mum penalty imposed by law, $25 in
each case"

CLUB NOT AT FAULT.
FOR POOR BOXING.

Those fans who have been following the
career OF Tommy Quill with much inter
est during his performances in this city
have been forced to change them some
what and IL will take many a day before
he will have sufficiently rehablitated HIM
self with them for them TO take any stock
i'm him.
This came about through the publica-
ton OF a letter in one OF the morning
papers yesterday 10 the effect that Quill
knew nothing about the match 10 fight
Jack Reardon of Philadelphia. As was
stated In the News-Democrat yesterday.
the match was made in good faith. ana
seemingly with the contest OF the fighter
mentioned and that he deliberately step
ped aside for reasons best known TO him
self.
At the Lymansville ring last evening the
management of the local end OF the affair
showed conclusiyely that they were not
at fault In the trouble and Quilts man
ager stated To the audience that he had
made the match in good faith, with the
expectation that IL would he kept. That
Quill would sacrifice his reputation as
fighter and n man recognizing an obli-
cation was not dreamed of before. 1t
would seem that there is no excuse for
him in that had he wanted TO do tho fair
er thing he would have notified the club
sometime ago that he would not appear.
AS Ben tlaSe put IL ldst evening, tltt
whole affair must be construed as case
OF cold feet on thep art OF the fighter.
According 10 the manager of the Brock
ton boy, this Is not the first fight which
he'd odged for some unknown reason. Az
ter the explanations were made and re-
ceived on the part of the small number
OF fans who were on hand To sec the
match IL was decided 10 tender them
their money at the door If they were not
satisfied. This was in keeping with the
determination of tho club to give the pub
lie no "phony" shows. but TO be abso-
lutely above board. II was that(determi-
nation to be fair to the fans that enabled
the management TO have Young Madigan
on hand TO nll I'm the place OF Quill.
After all the questions had been settled
Il was decided that the bout should he
shortened TO eight rounds and those who
were not on hand missed as good fight
as could have been seen had Quill been
on hand and doing the best fighting OF
which he is capable.
Reardon and aMdigan acted the part OF
true sports and furnished some fun.
Neither of the preliminaries arranged
for last night was put on, the eight
round go between Reardon and Madigan>
being the only exhibition.
The first two rounds were very even

strength or weakness in the kicking game
Ii Is probable that tho Yale Princeton
game will be no exception. Princeton
chances Of victory depend on the punts
and drop kicks of Harlan more than any
other one thing. No better Illustration OF
this can be found than Princeton's game
a week ago against the Soldiers. wherein
everything was unequal TO the occasion

cidcd the contest in favor OF the Tigers
The two rush lines are about on
par Yale has a slight advantage In
Brides, Erwin and Bigelow, who are fast
and determined men, Brides is a new
man, but he may outplay the veteran
Capt. Dillon. Both teams have exception
ally strong. fast. well-drilled rush lines.

end on the field as receiver Of forward
passes. Behind both lines there arc plen-
ty Of stars. Rulon.. Miller, Harlan, Nc

out Of the game. but Yale has more than
one fast clever veteran back to put in
his place Knox OF Yale and Miller of
Princeton are going 60 do the fast half

and Eddie Dillon will do the hair-raising
quarter back runs. while Roome OF Yale
