CHOICE OF Chief
is UP TO BOGGS
city Attorney Must Decide
Whether Position Is a De-
partment Head.

The question of filing the vacancy
of chief in the police department re-
mains for the city's legal department
to determine. The issue depends on
whether the position of chief shall be
classified as the head of department,
and. accordingly, exempt from civil
service regulations
The Board of Police Commissioners
Yesterday addressed a communica-
tion to the legal department asking
for an opinion as to the proper
method to fill the vacancy. The mat
ter was taken under consideration by
CITY Counsel Herbert Boggs, who has
not as yet reached a definite conciu-
sion.
The civil Service Commission has
placed the position of chief in the
classified list, but some express doubt
as to its right to do so. contendins
that the chief, and not the Board Of
Police Commissioners. is in reality thu
official head of the department
Others contend that the Board o.
Commissioners constitutes the head.

CHARGE OF USURY
IS NOT SUSTAINED
Vice-ChanceIIor Stevens Rules
Heller Within Rights Ex-
acting $3.50 from Sass.

An interesting case involving the
question of alleged usury in connec-
ton with a real estate mortgage has
lust been decided by Vice-Chancellor
stevens in the Court of Chancery. The
parties to the suit were Marcus Hell
Ter, formerly a grocer of Prince street,
and Bernard Sass, builder, of Eliz-
abeth.
The former sought to foreclose a
mortgage of $3,ST5 which he held on
real estate owned by the latter in
Elizabeth Sass entered the defense
that Heller had exacted usurious in
terest on the mortgage, and therefore
that he was by law exempted from
paying Heller any further interest on
said mortgage.
What Sass alleged was usury con-
sisted of a payment of $3.50 made by
him to Heller in March, 1872. The
money, Sass declared. he gave TO Hell
Ter to gain the latter's consent to the
substitution of a new first mortgage
for one then existing on the property
that Heller had the mortgage on
which was involved in the suit in
question. Heller. on the other hand,
payment of an obligation to himself
incurred by Sass some time before
and in connection with another mat
ter, and explained that he had merely
taken advantage of this opportunity
of forcing Heller to settle up by stip-
ulating the payment 81 this money
as the condition of his acquiescing In
the change of mortgages alluded to
by Sass in his defense.
The court decided that the $3.50 in
question was not usury, inasmuch as
there was no "forbearance" in the
complainant's act in consenting to
the aforementioned change in mort
cages. That is, Heller had not grant
ed to Sass any extension of time of
payment of the mortgage-which act
would have constituted what in law Is
termed "forbearance"-and fore
bearance" is, according to the law,
essential to an act of usury.
Furthermore, the court ruled that
even If the said $3.50 had been paid for
the purpose which the defendant al
legged, this amount could fairly be re-
garded as the payment of an equita-
BILE debt arising from transactions
which the complainant proved had
taken place between himself and Sass
sometime before. Therefore, a judg-
ment in favor of the complainant was
rendered by the court.
The complainant was represented
by David A. Bilder, of this city, and
the defendant by Samuel Koestler, of
Elizabeth.

A committee of fifteen of the cen
trail strike committee has been ap-
pointed to confer with mill owners
but the strikers at meeting held
yesterday afternoon decided to stand
firm. Louis Magnet, who has been
active during the strike as an indie
pendent striker, was selected as chair
man of the committee. In his delega-
ton are several strikers who are not
affiliated with the 1. w. W. or any
other organization and who repre-
sent the independent element among
the strikers. Adolf Lessig, secretary
of the 1. w. w, seemed TO think that
the appointment of such committee
might be step forward, but the in
dependent strikers are a little chary
of Mr.. Lessig and the I. w. w. lead
ers and fear that if the latter were
represented on the committee the
manufacturers would refuse to treat
with them entirely.

CITY DEPARTMENT
MAY BRING A SUIT
Shade Tree Commission Would
Restrain SIicing of Mil
itary Park.

1t is likely the courts will have to
decide the present dispute which has
arisen between the Board of Works
and the Shade Tree Commission over
the encroachment of Military Park
on Broad street.
At the first step toward slicing off
about FIVE feet of the park between
West Park and Cedar streets, the
water department yesterday removed
a water hydrant just within the pres
ent sidewalk line. To this procedure
the Shade Tree Commission has
raised strenuous objection and
threatens to get out an injunction to
prevent any cutting away of the pres
ent park.
Some time ago Chief Engineer Nor
ris R. Sherrerd, after an investiga-
ton, found that the park encroached
about fifteen feet on Broad street at
the apex. The street at this point is
only seventeen feet wide from the
trolley rail to the curb line, while at
the other end, at Trinity Church, 1t Is
thirty-five feet from the trolley
tracks to the curb.
When the matter was brought up
in the Board of Works it was the
consensus of opinion that Broad
street should be widened at the apex
of the park. Then 1t was decided to
slice off the sidewalk at this point
about FIVE feet. 1t was explained at
the time that the line of the street,
IL carried out, would cut away the
cannon and part of Trinity Church,
which also encroaches.
u. frNF- hAN Nfi IAaa
ing of the street before the work of
repaving Is begun Engineer George
Sanzenbacher. of the water depart
ment, yesterday started to rearrange
his hydrants.
Despite the protests of the Shade
Tree Commission this work was car
ried out. 1t was declared that the
water department had made no eff
fort to secure a permit for the work
from the commission which has COM
pIete jurisdiction over tn epark.
A special meeting of the commits
sion was held yesterday afternoon
when 1t was decided to make formal
protest to the Board of Works
against any slicing of the park prop
erty. The act of the water depart
ment is regarded by the commission
as the opening wedge in the proceed
ings to cut away the park property
The commission does not recognize
the right of the board to perform any
work or cut off any of the ground
unless 1t gives permission. They will
resist any effort to remove the pres
ent sidewalk and will carry the mat
| ter into the courts If 1t is found
necessary. in order to save the park
property.

n. B. Hollins and Company

NEW YORK. Nov. l3.--iI b. Hol-
Inns 4 Co, one OF the oldest banking
houses in Wall Street. failed today
without causing ripple of excitement
in the stock market. or the general
financial community. The liabilities
OF the house are between $4,000. 600
and s5.00o.000 Free assets of $50. 900
are known. How much the assets

firm is unaware.
So far as the effect upon the gen.
eral financial situation is concerned,
the failure was entirely disregarded
Though the firm was Il mem Der of the
stock exchange. not another stock ex-
change house in the street was affect

the least attention to the failure. in
fact gaining on the announc ement OF
the suspension.
The reason for this unconcern was
the fact that for the past several years,
the failed bankers had done praeti-
cally nothing in stock exchange bust
ness. They had been promoters
Their promotion schemes were with
companies entirely outside OF the ex-
change. Many of them were weak
