James H. Moran Was Arrest
ed by PatroIman MCGOWAN
Early This Morning.
Is HELD FOR DISORDER
AND TO KEEP PEACE
Was Intoxicated and Blue
coatSays Life Was Threat
ened by Prisoner.

Constable James Fl. Moran, forty
three years old, of 174 Washington
street, was arrested by Patrolman
MCGOWAN at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing on New Brunswick avenue on a
charge Of being drunk and disorder
ly and abusing an officer.
Moran was arraigned before Re-
corder Pickersgill this morning on
charges Of having assaulted the po-
liceman with intent to kill, and also
of being drunk and disorderly. He
denied that he had tried to kill the
policeman, but admitted that he had
been intoxicated and that he had
threatened to kill the officer. Mo-
rams defense was that he did not
know what he was doing.
According to the police, Moran
got into trouble at Washington hall.
where q dance was in progress, and
threatened to shoot someone. Pa
trolmen Quinlan and Durham were
sent there but, when they arrived,
were told that Moran had gone
home after his revolver. Later Pa
trolman MCGOWAN arrived on the
scene. He stated to the recorder
that when he told Moran to keep
quiet, the constable started to draw
his revolver. The officer, however,
took 1t away from him and told him
to go home.
He says that Moran left and went
down the street. In short time he
heard cries for police and found
Moran In another argument. Moran.
the policeman says. pulled out a
blackjack and threatened to kill him
If he interfered. MCGOWAN tried to
handcuff the constable and alleges
that while he was trying to do SO
Moran struck at him with the black
Jack. He parried the blow, he de-
clares, and hit Moran on the head
with the cuffs. The prisoners ap-
pearance bore out this statement
this morning, as he had large lump p
and q cut on his forehead.
Recorder Pickersgill. after hear
ing, held Moran under 5000 bail to
await the action of the grand jury
on the assault charge, and $500 to
keep the peace. Bail was offered for
Moran later by A. Cerbo, but the re-
corder refused to accept 1t, as he
said he did not think that Moran
was in fit condition to be at large
today.

before Vice Chancellor Stevens to
the propriety of the conduct of Mrs.
Marjorie Hoyt, whose husband,
Ralph r. Hoyt, is suing for divorce

tionable testimony was given by

An Active Year is Planned
by Members in Enforce
ment of Rules.
PLAN TO BRING IN
GREATER REVENUE
Promise is Made That Out
Houses Will Be Done
Away With.

An active year is planned by the
health board and the new members say
that they will do all in their power to
carry out the work as it has been pro-
jected.
Among the matters which will receive
attention are the question of out houses
and the possible selection of an attorney
for the board. When a case arises, as
for instance plumbing violation or
milk case or some similar offense, a
card memorandum will be made of it,
and the city attorney will be notified,
said one of the new members today.
This is according to the department IS
index system. If it is found that the
cases are too numerous or require too
much of the city attorneys time, an
effort may be made to secure from the
Board of Aldermen permission to re-
tain counsel to prosecute these cases,
and who shall be paid stated amount
and half of the fines collected. 1t was
suggested today by new member that
$50 year and fifty per cent of the
fines would be fair compensation. The
idea Of having a lawyer to prosecute
cases for the health board was broached
by one of the members who retired this
year and was due to the fact that some
cases have been allowed to lag and be
almost forgotten because they were not
fought on behalf of the board. One
plumber paid fine of $25 like man,
but another, in like case, did not pay
the fine and he has never been COM
PEELED to do so because the matter was
not carried up for the department after
the accused man engaged counsel Rich
ard j. Calvin paid a fine for violation
of the board IS code regarding plumbing
work, but John s. Hanson, the defend
ant in similar action, engaged Law
yers Beekman & Spencer. After two
or three adjournments nothing further
was ever heard of it.
The new board proposes to do even
more than that. If sufficient money
can be secured, the salaries of the in
spector and deputies may be increased.
They now receive $50 month each.
The subject of outhouses has also
come up and it is declared that they
will be done aN,.y with throughout the
city.
