Heinrich Friedman and Ma
than Katzenelson Arrested
Yesterday
HAD THE GOODS ON THEM
THEY TRIED TO GET RID OF THE
COIN IN BERNARD FOLEY's sA-
LOON BUT HE DID NOT LIKE
THE MONEY AND GAVE THE
ALARM.

Two men We're last night arrested in
Grove street, for passing counterfeit
money. They gave their names. ages
and addresses as Heinrich Friedman,
thirtytwo years old. of No. 401 Grand
street, New York, and Nathan Katzenel-
son, thirty-four years old, of No. 81 Rut-
gers street. New York The double ar
rest was made by Patrolman Tom"
Flanagan, and is regarded in police cir
cles as a brilliant one, inasmuch as the
''boodle-carrier' was arrested along with
the man who usually plays the trick of
passing the spurious coin. Usually in
such cases the doodle carrier gets
away. In Katzenelson's pockets were
found $1436 in change, thirty-one bad
silver dollars, a bad fifty cent piece and
fourteen cigars. In Friedman's pockets
were found $14.9S in good money. He
went into the saloon Of Bernard Foley.
at Grove and Third streets, and tried to
cent drink. Foley didn't like the looks
and feel of the money. He refused to
accept it and Friedman walked out. The
couple then went to the cigar store of
Paul Schultz. No. 1888 Grove street. One
of them ordered FIVE cent cigar and got
95 cents change. Meanwhile Saloon
Keeper Foley had tipped off Flanagan
that a man was going about the neigh
borhood passing off counterfeit dollars.
Flanagan got on the job at once and
soon caught up with the two men. Sa-
loon Keeper Pat" Cahill was stuck on
one of the spurious dollars. and it is not
known how many other business men
were stuck This will not be known un-
til the victims read the afternoon papers.
The two prisoners were arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Lins-
ley Rowe this morning and held for the
United States Grand Jury
The den where the counterfeit money
was made has been traced to No. 257
Monroe street. New York, where a COM
plete outfit for counterfeiting was found,
including presses, dies, metal pots, ma
terial. etc.
This arrest comes closely upon the
heels of that of pretty seventeen-year-
old Josephine Manfra, of Paterson. who
was arraigned before q. 5. Commissioner
Rowe yesterday by Secret Service De-
tectives, who believe she Is one Of a band
of counterfeiters operating in New Jer-
sey. This band. the detectives say, have
been flooding the State with counterfeit
silver certificates. They say the Manfra
girl helped to dispose Of them. She was
sent to the Hudson County jail to await
further examination.

Special to 1.-THE Jersey City News.,D
TRENTON, Jan. 25. 19O6.-The au-
tomobile bill which Senator Frelinghuy-
sen introduced in the Senate last Tues
day, has aroused the opposition Of all
the prominent automobilists through the
State and demands are now being made
that its drastic provisions be so amend
ed as not to leave them entirely at the
mercy of the country constables.
Senator Frelinghuysen has heard the
objections offered and he is as equally
determined that his bill shall not be
amended as the automobilists are that
it should be.
Senator Frelinghuysen's refusal to
amend his bill will undoubtedly precipi-
tate one of the bitterest wars that the
automobilistsN have ever waged against
restrictive legislation The automobiles
from other states are interested and have
promised to lend their aid in the move
ment to have the Frel1nghuysen bill suit
ably amended or defeated.
The features of the bill that are most
strongly opposed are those providing a
fine of $500 or two months imprison-
ment for failure to comply with the law.
and permitting the arrest Of automobil-
lists without warrant. This last is one
of the main objections to the bill Au-
tomobihsts do not relish the idea of pay
ing such large fine if they should in
nocently exceed the speed limit or being
lodged in jail for two months for such
offense. They claim that the fine should
not exceed $40 for each offense and that
the Imprisonment provision should be
wiped out
Another feature that is Objectionable
to the autoists is the provision that all
owners and chauffeurs operating ma-
chimes must be licensed by the State and
pay $75 for such license, besides the
owner paying $50 yearly for each ma
chine. They say that it is unjust to tax
the owner. for operating machine on the
principle that the owner or driver of fast
trotters is not compelled to pay license.
The Frelnghuysen bill regulates the
speed that machine may run through
cities, townships and villages to eight
miles an hour, instead of twenty miles as
under the present law. The autoists
claim that if the speed limit is reduced
to eight miles an hour it viii deprive
them of all pleasure in automobiling and
practically compel them to travel along
at a snail's pace. They want the speed
to remain as it at present exists.
The Committee on Revision of Laws
to which the Frelinghuysen bill was re-
ferred, has promised to grant the autoists
hearing on the measure No date has
vet been fixed for such hearing, but it
will probably take place next week.

THE Burglars Daughter" which the
Vance and Sullivan company will present
at the Academy tomorrow night, tells a.
story OF modern New York life. The lead
ing character Of the play. Mag of Mulberry
Bend is an ignorant and neglected waif
who, at the death of her mother, is thrown
out in the streets. She finds refuge in the
nome OF a wealthy clergyman who tries to
help her. and she, touched by his kind

act finds Meg gaining in polish and losing
her slang and roughness. until at the end
she has grown from a child of the streets

ter's fascinating story Of the west, will re-
turn to the Columbia Theater tomorrow
evening for it's third Washington engage
ment, Dustin Farnum continuing in the
name part, supported by a carefully chosen
company. 1.-The Virginian' tells a story of
the west when life on the range meant a
clear eye, a steady nerve and a conscience
that was never bothered by the ethical
niceties of civilization, but which knew
duty and how to fulfill it, The hero has
the essential qualities of real man of
the west. The cowboys and Steve and
Trampas are taken from life. Types of
the plainsmen are the ranch owners, who
take part in the episodes surrounding the
affair of the Virginian, while charming
contrast is Molly Wood, the gallant little
representative of Grandmother Stark, who
eventually strikes her colors, her Vermont
narrowness expanding under the sunshine
of Wyoming and the manly wooing of her
here. THE Virginian has been frequently
called mans play. 1t is declared, too, that
