Special to 'The Jersey City News.''l
TRENTON, Feb. 3, 1906.-Judge
James B, Dill was sworn in yesterday
as a member of the Court of Errors and
Appeals for full term, succeeding him
self as an ad interim appointee. The
oath was administered by Chancellor
Magic in the presence of the full court,
which assembled in the main court cham
Der without robes. The ceremony was
deferred from last week because Of the
decision of the court that Judge Dill
could not be sworn until he had frmal-
ly received his commission from Cover
nor Stokes.
The swearing in of Judge Dill Quah-
fes him to sit with the Court of Par
dons next Wednesday, when it will con-

lands, all of which are absolutely owned
by the State, it might be possible to
secure more adequate laws to govern the
industry, but at every session of the Legis-
lature there are members from the inland
sections who have never had the slightest
knowledge of the matter, but who get
the notion that oyster and clam legisla
ton must be in the nature of special
acts, designed to work out some private
end. In connection with this the bureau
has made unusual efforts to gather a few
plain facts and figures to show the
strength and value of the industry, with
the hope of spreading them before the
people and gaining for the industry more
and better attention.
with the same purpose in view it has
introduced into its report number of
photographs showing, inadequately, of
course, the extent of the industry in the
SeNSTdI puItS u tuS Ctdte. AAeAc az
pictures of the boats, the men, their
homes and the shipping stations, and in
some of them the marks of prosperity, of
hustle and Of great business are plain.
During the last year 307 boats have
been licensed in Delaware bay and III
in Raritan bay. One thousand and thir-
ty-eight grounds, comprising S,165 acres.
were leased in Maurice River Cove, and
forty-one grounds, comprising 593A
acres in Raritan bay. This is an i'm
crease over 1904 of eighteen IN the num-
Der Of boats licensed, and decrease in
acreage lease of 2,663 acres in Maurice
River Cove and 1881 acres in Raritan
bay.
The gross receipts of the department
for the year from licenses and leases of
lands amounted to $14,07627. or this
amount $6.563 was received from licenses
issued to vessels in Delaware bay; $6.-
514.40 from deases for oyster grounds in
Maurice River Cove; $40 from licenses
issued to vessels in Raritan bay and

A Good and Faithful Servant
Of Christ Hospital Ended
Her Career Of Usefulness
Yesterday
DEEPLY REGRETTED BY ALL
AMBULANCE HORSE THAT
SHOWED HUMAN INTELLI-
GBNCE IN HURRYING HER SUI
FERING BURDENS TO THE
HOSPITAL.

The Christ Hospital authorities yester-
day found it necessary to put Nellie a
faithful old ambulance horse, to death in
order TO put her out of misery. "Nellie"
was thirty-eight years old She was shot
to death by S. P. G. A. Officer Charles
Lambert, who had been sent for to per-
form the execution Sadness prevails
among all the hospital staff, the nurses
and patients afflicted with chronic dis
eases and who have been in the hospital
long enough to hear Nellie" praised for
service in rushing patients to the insti-
tuition at break-neck speed, as though
she fully realized that the lives of those
who had met with serious accidents de-
pended upon minutes.
OF late years she has done Preserve"
duty. but she still kept up her record for
fast time whenever occasion required it.
During the great fire on the the Hoboken
WaLeE Ir0nI several years ago, SHE udue
fourteen trips between the scene of the
FIRE and the hospital on the hill bearing
burned patients whose lives depended on
her speed. She had been in service as an
ambulance horse ever since the hospital
was established in 1889, and was pet
with all the employees or attaches that
nave ever been connected with the insti-
tuition
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals was notified two
weeks ago of 'eNellie's" infrm condition
and an officer of the society was about
to put her to death when he postponed
the execution at the request of many
attaches Of the hospital. Mrs. Noble,
the superintendent of the hospital, went
away on a visit several days ago. She
was much attached TO the horse and it is
said that the object of her visit was to
be away from the hospital on the day
Nellie" was to be killed. She has not
yet returned and the rumor could not be
fully confirmed.

Charles H. Hall Dec lined to
Go Out of q House and It
Was Torn Down Over His
Head
WANTED FOR HUDSON TUNNEL
AT HALLS REQUEST THE FORE
MAN AND THIRTY MEN WERE
ARRESTED TO BE INSTANTLY
RELEASED.

The Hudson Tunnel Company. which
is building a tunnel under the North
River. between Exchange place, Jersey
City, ard Courtlandt street, Manhattan,
bought several months ago from the es-
tate of the late Charles II. O'Neill the
property ar the southeast corner
of Grand and Hudson streets, Jersey
City There were number of small
buildings on the land
Charles H. Hall. an inventor and civil
engineer, held lease ON the property.
He sublet all but one of the buildings,
which he used himself. When the tun-
mel company bought the property they
served notice on Hall to vacate the
premises Feb. l. Workmen in the em-
ploy of the company started yesterday
TO remove the buildings. They were
met by Hail. who flashed his lease in
their faces and told them he was still
in possession Of the property.
e. G. Mattison was in charge of the
workmen. He said the lease was worth
less. and gave instructions to tear down
the building Other tenants besides Hall
protested in vain. Hall. after consulting
lawyer, went TO the First Criminal
Court and caused warrants to be issue<f
for the arrest of John Doe and others. !"
The charge was malicious mischief in
destroying property of the complainant.
When he returned with dozen po-
licemen Hall found most of his effects
i'll the street Property of other tenants
had also been removed and tb<F buildings
were partly demolished.
Foreman Mattison and thirty work
men were made prisoners on the John
Doe" warrants. AS fast as they were
booked at the City Hall Police Station
they were released on bail, a Justice
of the Peace and bondsmen having been
summoned. Work of tearing down the
buildings was resumed, despite the pro-
tests of Hall and his lawyer. The po-
lice would not interfere. They said
they could not make arrests without
other warrants.
The tunnel company's lawyers say
Hall has no rights that they are bound
10 respect They insist that his lease
expired long ago and that he continued
to occupy the property as monthly
tenant. Hall, who is seventy years old
and served under Admiral Farragut
says he win prosecute the men who
were arrested and will also bring suit
against the tunnel company for dam
ages.

good resolutions east aside, and in its
place to be set up as ugly, forbidding
insensate Moloch, whose worship means
debasement, greed and dishonor."
The Senator referred to the use Of
money in Presidential and Gubernatorial
elections, and referred to newspaper
statements that in 1902 almost 100000
was spent in Essex County and $4,000
at the last election in Newark. After
expressing regret at this, he told of the
need of corrupt practices act, and told
how one had to be enacted in England
in 1883. He promised to support such
an act here. But back of all the cor
ruption, he said, were the public utilities
who used corruption TO secure the cleo
ton of men not antagonistic to them.
in my Judgment, this evil will not be
corrected until we take for the people
the ownership of things that belong to
the people. ] make no reflections on the
men who manage such public service
companies. They protect the trusteeship
given to them-put yourselves in their,
places-but when they want to protect
their public rights operated for private
profit. they are apt to use money to af-
feet the elections.
'1Fo change the situation by system
of public ownership property safeguard
ed BY a system of civil service and the
greatest factor for the corruption of pub
lie life will then have passed away.
They had the same experience in Eng
land. Scotland, Germany. Australia and
New South Wales, and those countries
today are reaping the benefits of muni-
pal ownership in cheap fares, cheap gas,
cheap electric lights and surplus that
goes 10 the reduction of taxes and the
establishment of the cities.
The next State convention should
proclaim it as the dominant plank in its
platform, and while it will not bring to
earth all the felicities for which we daily
pray, it will mark an epoch in the prog
ress and development of popular govern
ment.
"a faction of the enemy has stolen the
plank of equal taxation; for years the
Democrats urged the taxation of fran
chises. While We have been in bathing
somebody has stolen our clothes, and isc-
tionists and renegade Democrats in Tren-
ton have claimed the credit of enacting
measures for which we stood for years
and never surrendered. The future is
the land of promise for US, and it opens
up to me one policy that appeals to the
people Of the State and of the nation,
Ownership of our own for ourselves. .
