day Excitement :. Cops
Raps Scared Sneak.

Thieves took advantage of the ex-
element natural to the holiday Tues
day night and yesterday to get in
some successful work. Several cases
were reported to the police. but in none
did the spotls gathered amount to very
much.
Nearly all those reported are cases
of sneak thievery, with some small
cases of breaking and entering.

chased the fellow for several blocks,
but the latter escaped into Branch
Brook Park The policeman returned
to Mr.. Wiedenmayer's, however, and
found a window open and the family
away. A thorough search was made
of the house by the policeman, but the
only evidence of n robbery was a
dressing stand that had been ram
sacked by the thief. Nothing was
stolen.
II is believed that the thief became
frightened by the sounu Of the police
m6n's club on the sidewalk a few minutes
before. as the policeman was answering =
roundsman's call. The sneak may have
believed the raps were for police assist
ance.
Policeman Brown saw a man on High
street near Bleecker street about 3
o'clock this morning with a box on his
shoulder. The man saw the policeman,
too, and dropped the box and ran. When
Brown examined tho box he found it was
from a chewing gum slot machine The
gum and cose are at the Second Precinct
Station.

McTague's saloon at High and Warren

SAID HE SOLD
LIQUOR ON
SUNDAY
Harry Smith, Of BellevilIe,
Also Accused Rival Seeker
for Saloon License.

Two rival applicants for a liquor
license for 5s7 Washington avenue,
Belleville. appeared before Judge Ten
Eyck in the Court of Quarter Sessions
today. They were Harry Smith and
Patrick Coners. Smith was represented
by Clifford Miller and Coners by Hugh
3. Reed.
Smith had been charged with having
knowledge of poolroom, which 1t was
alleged was running in his place, but
he denied the charge. He said that
persons had been using one of his rooms
but as soon as he found out that
they were conducting an illegal busi-
ness ne gave them notice to leave.
II never knew their Names" he said,
"and nobody went in the room after
gave. the men notice to quit"
Smith took possession of the place
last September He was sure, he said,
chat Coners sold liquor on Sunday
when he was running his place in Belle
Vile.
II had liquor there myself on Sun
day." Smith said
"You had your saloon open there on
sunday, too, did you?" the court
asked.
Smith admitted this ana the court
remarked:
ut seems to have been quite a COM
mon practise to have saloons open on
Sunday in Belleville."
"Ycs, sir" said Smith, "but this was
before the Bishops law"
"Oh, that doesn't make any diff
ference" said the court.
The matter was taken under advise
ment.
Refore the judge had announced his de-
csion counsel in the case declared that
they would withdraw the applications.
The court then stated that the license
fee for .Belleville would be increased next
wear 1t is now $3.50. II was not stated
what the new figure would be.
Objections to a saloon license to Herman
Il keiser. who wants to run his place in
Mllburn Township were also heard.
Frederick Hoffman and other residents
and property-owners of the neighborhood
gave their reasons as to why they thought
another saloon in that territory was un-
necessary.
The court at the conclusion Of the evil
dcnce. decided to refuse the license TO
Kaiser.

Japs Are Reserved.

Tokio-In discussing the anti-Japa-
nese agitation by portion Of the
American press. all classes whose
opinion is worthy of consideration, are
significantly reserved. The two pre-
vailing sentiments noticeable are q
strong disdain and contempt for the
Iapers in America which entertain the
idea of a war between Japan and the
United States, and implicit confidence
in President Roosevelt. who is re-
garded as the true type Of an Ameri-
can. People are inclined to smile
with satisfaction at the outbreak Of
what appears to them as ridiculous
agitation and at the barbarity prac-
ticed toward innocent children in a
Christian land, which had been class
ed by missionaries and others as a
country which possessed the only
true religion and the only true God.
The Japanese have no doubt been
smarting under the assumed superior
ity of Christian nations. and now find
such an occurrence amid Christian
civilization, serve In ther judgment as
the confession of an inferiority, moral
and otherwise.
Moreover the successful war with
Russia has inspired the Japanese
with great confidence and although
the possibility Of war with the Unit
ed States is not now generally enter
tanned, 1t may not be amiss to point
out, that some are inclined to regard
as significant Secretary Taft's deci-
sion in regard to terrifying the Ha.
waiian islands.
