COP AN AUTHOR.
Policeman Lapierre, Of Kearny, Writes
Humorously on Bluecoat's Experiences.

Close observers of the members OF the
Kearny police force have noticed within
the last few days that the cops nave gone
about their duties with an added dignity
and secrecy that gave the impression that
a weighty secret was in their possession
Gradually, however, the fact has oozed
out that among these wearers of the brass
buttons and vielders of night sticks there
has appeared a genius, one who apparently
is f-oreordained by destiny to shed a halo
of glory over the entire force.
For, 10 and behold! there has appeared
among them a literary cop, one Albert
Laplerre, chancemah No. 5, who is the
author Of the Experiences and Observa-
lions of a Cop" a humorous and other
wise interesting volume now on the presses,
and who Is also at work preparing a sec
ond volume. Lapierre sent a duplicate
manuscript to Chief of Police Tolen for
his inspection and comment, and after the
chief had reviewed II critically he, in
turn, forwarded II to Councilman Edward
j.. Kraft, chairman of the police COM
mittee of the Kearny Common Council,
and the latter returned 1t this morning.
The work promises to rob former Chief
of Police Murphy, of Jersey City, OF. his
laurels as the literary cop of New Jersey,
his effort, Scenes in a Police Station
which was dramatized and staged by Jer-
sey City cops, being always the standard
of literary excellence among the policemen
of New Jersey.

Neither delegation will recognize the

vote for Justice Fort.
Colonel Samuel ID. Dickinson, the re-

for Hudson County just as If the other

announced by the two chairmen.
There viii be no attempt to harmon

COLBY MAN BEATEN.
Pollitt New Republican Chairman in
Passaic.

PATTERSON, Sept. IS. Postmaster
George w. Pollitt was elected chairman
OF the Republican county committee last
evening, when the newly-elected body met
for organization at the Phelps Guards
rooms. Pollitt was opposed by James G.
Blauvelt, but the latter received only the
support Of the handful of Colbyites elected
at the primaries last week.
The Freeholder convention will be held
next Tuesday at 2 o'clock and the AS
sembly convention on Thursday Of next
week.
Those who expected a lively session
were disappointed. The Colby representa-
tives made a protest at the start, object
ing to the naming of an outsider as chair
man, but later the nomination was made
unanimous and after that all was har-
monious. Mr.. Blauvelt suggested ways
and means OF bringing about Republican
success at the polls this fall and offered a
resolution for the probing Of the false
registrations.
