BOY OF EIGHT
LOCKED IN
CELL
Herr Angry--Threat-
ens Lads and Mother
With Imprisonment.

Police Judge Herr was very much an
Court today when he learned hat an
S-year-old boy nae been locked up in a
cell all night, instead of being placed
in the witness room. He told Captain
Brown that boys of that age should o
be confined in cells.
Captain Brown said that he was not
aware that the boy had been in a cell.
II do not blame you, captain said
the judge, but please instruct the desk
s%ergeants not to do so any more
The boy was Louis Reiss, who, with
his brother, William, 10 years old, of 80
Nassau street, was arrested in Division
street about 10 o'clock last night. Each
had a bundle under his arm. Policemen
Owen and Early, who arrested them,
found that the younger, who was held,
had a live chicken in his possession, and
that his brother had two dead ones.
The older boy told the judge hat his
brother had found the chickens in a
milk can, and he was helping him to
take them home.
Mrs. Joseph Blackwell. of SO Orange
street, who was in the court room, iden-
titled the chickens as being her prop
erty, and said that she believed they
had been stolen from a coop in her
yard, although she had no positive
proof of that.
When the judge asked the boys what
they did during the daytime they said
that they went to school and after
wards sold newspapers in Broad street.
The father and mother of the boys
were in court and complained the boys
were very bad,
well. If they are brought here
again." SAT- the judge, II will send
them to the reform school until they
are Il years of age"
Mrs. Reiss then replied, You can
send them way now. If you like"
This aroused the ire of the judge,
who sharply informed the mother that
If the boys were arrested again he
would take a complaint against her for
neglecting her children and send her
to Jail.
On hearing this statement she said
she would take better care of the boys
in the future.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 4.-Mavor II
Otto Wittpenn is keeping a tight reir
on the new administration. Yesterday
afternoon four of the new city boards
were before the Mayor. The Board of
Finance conferred with the Mayor in
his office. The Board of Health also
had a talk with Mayor Wittpenn. What
the Police Board was to do last right
was discussed and the Fire Board
closed the series of conference late in
the day.
The Board of Finance at it's meeting
last night dismissed all the old en-
ployees of the free public bath and cut
down the force from six to three. Mayor
Wittpenn insisted that economy be
practised in the management of the
public bath.
Andrew j. Lyon, of the Eleventh
Ward, was appointed superintendent of
the free public bath at an annual salary
of $1,000.
Captain John Graham, deputy colz
of personal tax arrears, was dis
missed. He was appointed last sum-
mer by the Board of Finance for a
three-year term at 81, 500 a year. He
may sue the city for the balance of a
salary at the end of the year,
the $3.50 for this has been appro-
priated in the tax levy.
Commissioner John p. Landrine said
that he did not think that the office
would be filed, as the board would abol-
ish it in the interest of economy. He
said that the personal taxes could be
collected by the witty collector in the
way that other taxes are collected.
He considered the office an unnecessary
one.
1t was agreed that the law depart
ment should file a reply in the suit of
City Clerk Michael I. Pagan to collect
$500 for compensation for services in
connection with the recent election. For
years this extra allowance has been pro-
vided for city clerks.
Last year the board Of finance, in
making up the budget, left out that
sum of money in the Board of Alder
appropriations. City Clerk Fa-
gen started suit, which the city will not
His judgment will be paid by
the issuance of a temporary loan bond.

In accordance with the action of he
Democratic and Republican caucuses,
respectively, the Council elected Alder
