THUGS BEAT MAN
IN REVENGE FOR
C0MRADE' DEATH
Butcher Severely Injured by
Gang, Who Blamed Him for
Demise of Friend.

Attacked by gang who believed that
been caused by his blow, Gabe Moke, a
butcher, of 222 Bank street, has sworn
out warrants for the arrest of three
men, whom he claims are those who
assaulted him. The names OF the men
have not been given out by the police
Moke was badly beaten up last Tues
day morning as he was on the way to
the stable of Emanuel Levy, his
brother-in- law, for whom he WORKS at
222 Bank street. The stable is in
Wickliffe street, between Bank and
Academy streets, and just before Moke
men. One grabbed his arms, while an
other choked him to prevent his out
cries. The third used both hands and
fists on Moke, and when they left him
he was insensible When he recovered
he made his way to the store at 222
Bank street and later went to the
Fourth Precinct, where he made the
complaint.
The assault is the outcome of an
affair of two weeks ago. On that day
Peter Savage, man SO years of age,
left Tighe's saloon at the junction Of
Brientnall place and Bank street with
several companions. Savage had been
drinking, and as he started to go up
Bank street met a woman wheeling a
baby in a carriage. Despite the re-
monstrances of his friends and of by
ISLANDERS he picked up the carriage and
turned it around The mother was
almost frantic, fearing injury to the
child. Levy, in front of whose place
the incident happened, took the car
riage away from Savage and returned
it to the mother.
Savage got abusive and turned on
Levy. 1t is alleged by those who were
present that Savage finally threatened
to lick Levy. With that threat Moke,
brother-in-law of Levy, came from the
shop and hit Savage. knocking him off
the sidewalk in such a way that the
back of his hit the edge of the curb
stone.
: A week ago today he was taken to
ST Michael's Hospital after being found
i'll on the street, and died.

COLGATE NOT ELIGIBLE
FOR CHAIRMAN, FORT SAYS.
Governor Believes Attorney
Generals Opinion Is Sound One.

Governor Fort in Trenton today said
that he believed the opinion of Alton
ney- General Wilson holding that only
members OF county political committees
are eligible to the office of chairman
ship of such committees is sound one.
He bases his judgment on the fact that
county committees are same as com
mon councils or boards of chosen free
holders, and cannot themselves elect
members to fill vacancies.
Governor Fort, when asked specif-
ically how this would affect Colonel
Austen Colgate, of Essex county, said
he was sorry. but that he felt that
under the existing circumstances
Colonel Colgate was not eligible for the
position of chairman of the Essex
County Committee.
hTe view of Governor Fort is the
same one taken by prominent lawyers
and politicians in Newark yesterday
when the decision of the attorney-gen
eral first became known. At that time
many were difident about expressing
views on the matter, owing to the fact
that but brief outline of the Wilson
opinion had been given out.
