Brensinger, threatens to turn Durglar and take the $250.00 In the combination of the lock. tmg and high larceny is the newest turn taken to-day by the tangled af ‘ularly. the new Director of and Finance, v \ Wis former City Trensurer f ‘cumbency of Bensinger on the ground that he was not to honor Mr. ipon fund wing refusing demand ing fessional yegsmen ‘the steel walls of the Sinkin i somebody stops all the row about file not being Director of Revenue WITTPEN MEN REFUSE TO GIVE COMBINATION. « Phere are three members of the Sink- dng Fund Commission, Walter Connolly, Maurice Buckhardt and Thomas Hask- ing. Of these Connolly and Buckhardt, strong’ Wittpen men, alone have the combination of the safe that stands in the office of the City Treasury, and they refuse to give the secret to Brensinger. Hasking, who couldn't open the safe if he would, has assured Brensinger that Je perfectly willing that Brensinger fd dip-into the $250,000 Sinking Fund F emergency purposes, and until the legal taagie raised by Schumann's re- fusal to, recognize the new Director of Revengetis straightened out, ‘After talling upon Messrs, Connolly and Buckhardt for the combination and being refused, Mr, Brensinger made the announcement of the forthcoming burglary. This carried secret Joy to the camp of the defeated Wittpen forces, who would like to see Brensinger "put himself in a hole” by the high-handed methods he threatens, The five banks chosen as depositories for. the $2,801,000 of the city’s funds have this amount distributed among them as follows: First National, $5 000; Union Trust Company, $604,000; Hudson County tonal, $610,000; Third National, $517,000; Mercantile Trust Company $59,000.

The four other banks say they must consult their at- torneys before they can give up any of the city's money upon Brensinger’s demand, What appeared for a moment near Roon to-day to be an open precipitation of hostilities and bloody war between Cari Schumann and the present holder jof the City Treasurer's fort, Bren- sing.r, resolved itself into an amicaol swapping of cigars and burlesque stage Play that would do credit to a Gilbert and Sullivan opera. Schumann, a large crowd of his henchmen at his back, entered City had seized over night. Instantly the corridors of the building became Jammed with persons eager to sce a sorap. Schumann walked boldly to the door of his old office and found two large round policemen there, with Brens.nger ranged behind them, “I am City Treasurer of Jersey City, and I demand entrance,” Schumann chanted in a pompous voice. BIG SCRAP MELTED INTO GLARES ANDO CIGARS. “I beg your pardon; I am Director of Revenue and Finance of Jersey City,” Brensinger smiled from behind the blocking shoulders of the police- men If you wish to enter tthis office as Carl Schumann, plain citizen, you are at Hberty to do so; but if you wish to enter as Carl Schumann, City Treas- urer, I forbid you, and I will have you arrested if you try.” For a full minute the rivals glared at each other, while the crowd at Sehu- mann's back held tts breath, Then the face of the ousted City Treasurer broke into smiles, like a broken plate. “George,” he sald, “I've got an aw- fully good box of cigars back there on my desk I'd like to have." “Carl,” came the honeyed answer of Brensinger, “nothing could give me more pleasure than to present your cigars to you," Whereupon Brensinger brought the cigars out to the door. “Have one yourself, George,” said Schumann. "George took one and then Schumann passed around the box to the retainers at his back, Hostility died as matches flamed, ns WALDO RAISES O'BRIEN TO AN INSPECTORSHIP. Capt.

Ho heard people shouting ahead. He saw Women and children running away from the churchyard. Three hundred men were hanging over the tron rail that protects the church gardens peer- ing intently toward the rectory. The men were point.ng toward a snarling little fox terrier frothing at the mouth. It was at noontime and children were out in masses playing.
