RELENTLESS SERGEANT
PURSUES OUR HERO
Drama that Began in Ironbound
District Ends Before
Police Board.

Lost in Newark is the title of a
melodrama In which Patrolman George
Messmer, of the Third Precinct, played
the principal part before an audience
consisting of the Board of Police Com
missioners yesterday. 1t lis quite a
pathetic piece. the scene being laid In
the vicinity of the Central railroad
yards in the Ironbound district Mess-
mer enacted the part of the new police
man Just transferred to that section
from the Sixth Precinct. In the first
scene the desk sergeant (villain) is seen
gnashing his teeth under his long black
mustache.
"Zounds!" he yells, where is that
man Messmer? First day in the pre-
cinct and not word from him. Busi-
ness Of tearing hair and marking on
blotter). He shall pay for this"
The second scene shows Messmer
(hero) searching through the slush and
snow and darkness and cold for q po-
lice station. The men whom he passes
on the street turn from him. He is
only a policeman. No one will answer
his plaintive plea for information.
"Will no one help mel" he cries,
wringing his hands. "Oh, this is a
cruel-l-l world. No one will tell me
where there Is a police station, and 1t Is
now long since the time I should have
been there" Continues to hunt among
the railroad yards and blocks of houses
for a police station or a street sign).
While he is searching. the angry desk
sergeant goes out and finds the lost
policeman.
"Ah, hal All, ha! have discovered
you" cries the villain, with the usual
amount of fiendlsh glee. You are in
muh power!"
In the third scene the villain is seen
accusing the hero before the Police
Board. That villains are not always
crushed and heroes crowned tri-
umphant was proven in the final cll-
max, when Messmer was fined two
days pay and the desk sergeant went
off stage. still displaying his grin of

POKER GAME ACCUSATION

With Braun, SchIOsser or
Others, Executive Ayers.

Refuting as untrue and without
foundation the charges contained In a
speech made by Charles M. Mason Oc-
tober 13 last, Mayor Jacob Haussling
this afternoon filed declaration ia his
suit for $4,000 damages for slander
against Mason. who was at the time of
his alleged libelous ntterances, under
sheriff of Essex county.
The declaration, which was filed by
Edwin @. Adams, Mayor Haussling' S
counsel, embodies Mason's entire
speech, including it's reference to the
private affairs of the late Judge
David T. Howell, That portion of the
speech In which Mason introduced the
name of the Mayor as 'the seventh
man in a poker game at Gloris gam
bling resort above Waldmann's Thea
tire, in which the six others were keep
ers Of disorderly houses, Is made the
principal cause of action.
Commencing with the premises that
the mayor Is an honest, upright and
faithful citizen OF the State," the dec
laratlon charges that Mason, well
knowing such to be the case, but
wickedly and maliciously intending to
injure the defendant in his good name,
credit and reputation" alleged, by ims
plication, that the defendant was dis
honest. immoral. wicked and corrupt,
and was actuated only by such motives.
That he was guilty of the crimes of
nonfeasance and malfeasance in office,
was engaged in Illegal business and
habitually associated with idle, vicious
and disorderly persons"
Denial is also made by the mayor
Of the charges that he was associated
with Valentine Braun and Harry
Schlosser, or either. in maintaining or
keeping a disorderly house, or dlsor-
derly houses. 1t is also denied that the
mayor was "privy to and in sympathy
with the habitues of dlsorderly houses
in their nefarious and criminal plans
thereby debauching and depravlng the
public morals"

She has ideas-like everyone else-but
she insists on inflicting her ideas on
those who do not want them.
perhaps unconsciously, she has for

termination and foresight. You see,
there are many sterling qualities about
her, but, unfortunately, she does not
like me. / believe she has had a great
influence on my wife.

to do was sell all of the household
goods, except what she would require

known, an inquiry was ordered. which
disclosed that no such occurrence had
taken place, as the Eskimo tribes are
Wei known as to their locality and
numbers. But the still more tragic
fact is learned that scores of Eskimos
had starved to death, and that others
mad lived on the dead bodies. the skele-
tons seen in this case being supposed
10 be the remains of some of the vic
Tins of these tragedies.
Their contact with the white man in
the shape Of whaling crews has inocu-
lated them with all the white mans
vices and some OF his loathsome dis
eases. Prof. \. p. Low of the Canadian
Exploring expedition of 1904 in the
steamer Neptune. describes the extino-
ton of a tribe of Eskimos on South
aInpton Island at the mouth of Hud-
son bay, In q single winter. They num-
bered 100 souls, and made shift TO live
with fair success without employing
civilized implements of war or chase,
as they We're isolated from any neigh
bors. But in 1900 a Scotch whaling
firm established a station there and
manned 1t with a party of Eskimos
nom one OF its other posts, who could
use modern repeating rife SUCCESS
fully. These reckessly slaughtered the
musk-oxen and the deer of the region
for the sake OF the hide, which they
sold to whaling employers, and as a re-
suit the whole OF the original tribe per-
ished of starvation during the second
winter while the others, who We're NOR
ally responsible for their death, If not
legally punishable. survived through
the aid of the provisions furnished
them by their employers. Two years
later the whaling station was aban-
doned again, and now this large island
is absolutely unpeopled. The same
story Is told Of other whaling stations.
Canada Is now sending annual expedl-
lions to the region TO release the tribes
and cope with this problem as best It
may. one Of the first steps to this end
which was taken by Major Moody of
the Northwest police, now governor
OF Hudson Bay was to forbid the ex-
port Of Musk-oX skins, so that the ma
tlvos should not eXterminate these
animals for the sake OF the hides and

ply OF the future.-Boston Transcript.
