RUSHING THE GROWLER
STILL IN COUNTY JAIL.
Trustees in Jersey City Institution Fol-
low Custom That Was Supposed to
Have Been Suppressed
Especial to the Evening star

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 7-Despite the
protests of Hudson County's law-abid-
ing citizens, beer is still being carried
into the old Court House by TRUSTEES" :"
sentenced to the county jail and War
den Thomas p. Connellys keeping.
Some time ago the county was given a
shock when this fact was printed, and
for time it ceased, but now the pris-
oners, evidently believing that the mat
ter has been lost sight of, have begun
again. The only change now is that
the can is rushed through the back en-
trance to the Court House on Pavonia
avenue instead of the Newark avenue
end.
The man discovered this time was a
ninety-day prisoner from Bayonne, who
because of his aptitude at gardening
has been turned loose on the grass
plots and flower beds about the Court
House and county Jail. He waited until
the Court House was emptied in the
afternoon of its workers and then he
slipped out of the Pavonia avenue door
with his can
"Where do you get the money to
buy your beer with?" he was asked by
a reporter who met him.
"Why, from tips" he answered. You
see. we do odd jobs around here" was
the answer.

$IOO SQUEEZE
SAYS HIS HOSTS WIFE
GREW AFFECTIONATE.
That Was When He Felt Effects of His
Drinks, Says Complainant--Blonde
to Go to Grand Jury.

according to the story he told in the
Third Precinct Police Court this morn
ing, John Bichnevich was invited into
the kitchen in the rear of a saloon at
81 Van Buren,, street last Saturday
night and relieved of pocketbook con-
tanning a railroad ticket and $109 in
cash. He charged Mrs. Victoria Yesae-
loon, with larceny from the person,
and after hearing Bichnevich's story
Judge Howell held the woman in $1,000
bail to await the action of the Grand
Jury.
Bichnevich, who occupies rooms on
the third floor of the building at the
address given, said that he entered the
saloon at about 10 o'clock last Satur-
day night. He ordered drink and
some crabs. The proprietor told him to
go into the kitchen to eat the crabs.
He did as directed, and there met the
wife of the proprietor and another man,
a friend of his. They had several
drinks and Bichnevich had a $50 bill
changed. Later the proprietor returned,
saying that he needed the change and
returned the bill, which Bichnevich
AYERS he placed in his pocketbook.
which was then securely tucked away
in his hip pocket.
Several drinks followed, and Bichne-
vich admitted that he was slightly
under the influence of drink. He said
that as he began to show the effects of
the liquor Mrs. Yesaetis became af-
fectionate and he recalls her placing her
arms around his waist and squeezing
him. Then, he AYERS, he missed the
pocketbook.
He reported his loss to the police,
first telling his story at headquarters
last Sunday afternoon. Detective Ser
geants Quinn and Kuhn, of tie detec-
tive bureau, were detailed on the case,
and after an investigation advised
Bichnevich to enter a complaint against
the woman. Judge Howell took the
complaint yesterday morning, and the
woman was taken into custody later in
the day, being held at headquarters
last night.
When she was arraigned before Judge
Howell this morning Mrs. Yesaetis, who
is a large and somewhat attractive
blonde, denied her guilt. Her brother
and husband were in court with man
who had offered to furnish the neces-
sary security for her release pending
the action of the Grand Jury, hut when
he learned that bail had been fixed at
81 900 he promptly left the police sta
tion.
Bichnevich remarked that the wom-
fhyaQ fQnad
him with bodily harm If he pressed the
charge against Mrs. Yesaetis. The two
relatives of the woman were severely
lectured by the court and warned that
there were enough vacant cells in the
police station to accommodate them II
they repeated their threats.

taken into custody by the detectives
after he had tried to sneak out the
side door and get away from them.
He told them that he lived at the
High street address he had given to
the janitor, and when the detectives
told him that they would accompany
him, home he admitted that he did not
live there. He said it was none of their
business where he lived

POOR WIDOW VICTIM
SAYS PRISONER ROBBED
HER OF $500.
swindled Her Several Years Ago, She
says-oourt Holds the Accused in
Bail for Examination.

Mrs. Sarah Kelly, of 774 Hunterdon
street, widow 40 years old, with three
small daughters being assisted by
charitable neighbors, caused the arrest
of Ernest H. Sprago today, charging
him with obtaining $500 from her
under false pretenses several years ago.
Sprago was arrested in Elizabeth yes
terday by Detective Sergeant Frank
Tuite, of the local detective bureau, and
when arraigned today before Judge
Howell in the First Criminal Court was
held in $500 bail for examination on
Monday.
The alleged swindler was unable to
get bondsmaL and was taken to Jail,
after telephoning to Attorney j. Wood
bury, of New Brunswick, to be en- hand
Monday to take charge of his case.
1t is the Old tale of a plausible. good
looking stranger and an impressionable
woman, who believed implicitly all that
was told her. says the Hunterdon street
woman in explanation of the case.
Up to 1905 the woman with her three
daughters lived in a small hamlet near
Worcester and kept a private boarding
house In the little home left her by her
husband. Sprago became a boarder. and
in a short time induced the woman to
sell her house and move to this city. He
told her, she says that he could procure
her a block of shares in New York
a rich woman, and she gave him the
money.
This was in November, 1905, Immediately
after the woman had come to this city.
Some time later he procured $500 more
from the woman. and then induced her to
mortgage her furniture. She did so and
raised $50. which she claims she gave him,
and that he disappeared. leaving her pen
niless. and with scarcely enough furniture
to furnish one room, as the company that
advanced the money on the household
goods carted the furniture away some
time ago
The prisoner was working an advertising
scheme in Elizabeth, which the Elizabeth
police will look into.

INSPECTOR GIVES NOTICE
TO P. S. C.

Smoke Inspector Daniel Maloney,
after waiting patiently for the Public
Service Corporation to do something
toward abating the nuisance that is
caused by the volumes of black smoke
that issues from the chmneys of the
power houses in River street. sent that
corporation thirty days notice, and
if at the end of that time the nuisance
is not abated or steps taken to abate
it the officials of the Public Service
will have TO show cause in the courts.
inspector Maloney has been trying
ever since he has been in Office to get
the Public Service to adopt some kind
of a smoke preventing device, and he
has always been put off with the plea
that the corporation was busily en-
gagged watching devices that are being
used by other concerns in different
parts of the country, and that as soon
as they proved to be a success the
device would be placed in the power
houses in River street.
Several months have passed since he
was informed of the Public Service
Corporations intentions. and when he
has made inquiries of the officials, was
Informed that they were still investi-
eating, but the inspector got tired
waiting and yesterday decided to send
the notice.
The inspector has gathered lot of
coal dust that is belched from the River
street chimneys every day, and also
photographs of the smoke coming from
the stacks.
Inspector Maloney also sent thirty
days notice to the T. P. Howell &
Co for violating the smoke ordinance,
That company denies that it is violating
the ordinance and says that it is not
only using coal that emits the least
smoke, but a smoke-consuming device
in its furnaces, and that smoke charged
to them comes from a chimney of an
other concern nearby.

VETERANS INTERESTED.
Newark Comrades Going to Encamp-
ment Next Monday.

Newark delegates TO the national en-
campment of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public will join other New jersey dele
gates at Jersey City next Monday and
start at 1880 o'clock for Saratoga, where
New Jersey headquarters will be estab-
lished by Deputy Commander Arthur
Trench. of Newark. and hard work will
be done to have National Quartermaster-
General Charles Burrows. of Rutherford
elected national commander.
New Jersey is entitled 10 eight delegates
and these were elected at the recent depart
ment encampment at Ocean City. In addi-
ton to those chosen, past department COM
manders have a vote in the national ell
campments, so that this State will have
quite q bit of influence.
The local veterans argue that the honor
of electing national commander should
come to the East this year, and that this
State. which has so long been the support
of others. should get some consideration.
For seven years Mr. Burrows has been ma
tional artermaster-general.
