AFRAID OF THE PUBLIC.
HOboken's Board of Health Holds
Sacret Machines.

Hoboken's Board of Health met last
night and President Palmer Campbell
excluded members of the press
Commissioners Talon became disgusted
at this and left the room. He said this
morning that he would resign unless the
Board adopted other methods, and went
to work in a business-like way.
Health Warden Areitz. in his monthly
report. stated that 1872 cases of conta-
gious disease had been reported since
July l.
The Board prepared a statement to the
public which denied that contagion had
gained such a foothold in Hoboken, that
it was beyond the Boards control.
1t contained an admission, however.
that there were over one hundred cases
of scarlet fever en- record, and that ex-
ira accommodations had been provided
at st. Mary's Hospital. This was all the
details of the meeting President Camp
bell would permit the Boards Clerk to
give for publication.

SLIPSHOD WORK.
G1arlng Inaccuracies Dis
covered in the Work of
the School Census.
THOUSANDS NOT COUNTED
Supt. Snyder Goes Over the Enum-
orators Figures-Police to
Make a Recount.

Public School Superintendent Snyder
and Secretary Nevin have finished the
comparison of the school census of 1884
with the one taken this year. That err
rors have been made is apparent. That
gross inaccuracies exist is a certainty.
In 1894 the census returns showed 7,048
children in the First district. while this
year only 1869 are found, showing a
decrease of 2,079. This district alone is
sufficient to convince. it is oontended.
the State officials that new census
should be made without delay.
The Second district showed 13, 40 child
ren in 1894. as against 1908 this year, a
decrease of 102.
The Third district in 1894 had Il. .6s5
school children. but this year the enum-
orators only found $3.50. failing off OF
1856.
CARELESS ENUMERATORS.
The Fourth district. however, makes a
still more disgraceful showing. In 1894
it contained 1908 children and this year
1905 only are found. showing the enor-
nous decrease of 4.273.
Tht ). it is claimed by those who are
at work on the census is out of all rea-
son. How such falling off could oc-
cur in one year is more than can be
understood.
The Fifth district alone shows an in
crease. In 1884 it had 6,4Si and the fol-
lowing year 6s32. an increase of S4S.
The Sixth district in 1894 had 1882
children, and this year S,7s1 are reported,
a decrease of 5,2Dl.
WHAT THE DECREASE MEANS.
The total decrease in the census is
14.l73, and unless the mistakes are rec
titled the city will lose the handsome
sum of $70,S65 in State school funds.
The comparison is correct in every par
ticular, Superintendent Snyder has de-
voted considerable time to the work ard
the comparison is based ons@the returns
of last year by districts as against like
precincts under the ward lines.
WHERE THE LOSSES ARE.
In the Eighth precinct of the First
district there is a loss of 65S children,
and in the Eleventh precinct of the same
district a loss of AS.
The Third district shows up very bad
ly. The Fourth precinct shows fall
ing off of 1872. Sixth precinct 764, Tenth
737 and Eleventh 474 The Fourth dis
triet also makes discouraging show
ing.
In the First precinct there is an ap-
parent loss of 51S Second precinct $50,
Fifteenth precinct 6S7. and Sixteenth pre-
cinct no less than 956.
ERRORS IN THE SIXTH.
The Sixth district. which has been in.
creasing steadily in population, makes a
peculiar. showing. In the first precinct
a loss OF 491 is reported; second precinct,
514; third precinct. al; ninth precinct,
402; fourteenth precinct. 592 and fifteenth
precinct, Sol. A loss of 14,17S in the
| census against a healthy increase in the
population does not go well with the
officials. 1t was at first intended to
| have the police make the new census at
once; but it has now been planned to
wait until the many people who are out
| of town return.

LOCATING A RAILROAD CROSSING
Famous Chancery Suit Before Fhr.
PLtneY Almost Settled.


Messrs. Cortlandt Parker, representingth the
Watchung Railroad Company and Mr.
Joseph Coult counsel for the Consolidated
Traction Company in Newark appeared be-
fore Vice Chancellor Pitney in chancery
chambers here this morning to settle the
final decree in the fight between these cor
porations. The point at issue is the location
of the Traction Companys crossing over the
railroad company's tracks on Bloomfield ave-
nue. in Newark.
1t came up week ago, and on that occas-
ion tie Vice Chancellor threatened the New
ark News reporter with Imprisonment for
contempt of court if he published any ac-
count of the proceedings. The Vice Cham
cellor went even further and took the re-
porters notes from him. for which arbitrary
proceeding he has been severely critized by
every paper in the State, and leading papers
in the United States.
At the close of the hearing last Monday
the Vice Chancellor gave the companies the
option of adopting the interlocking system
used on steam railroads. Mr.. Parker pre-
pared q decree, a copy of which he furnished
Mr. Coult, and this morning they met before
the Vice Chancellor to settle the decree
The Vice Chancellor took a seat at the
lawyers table between the counsel and In
plain democratic manner, without fuss or
feathers heard the various points raised dis
cussed. AT the beginning it was agreed tha0

by the Traction Company.
Many minor points of technical character
remained unsettled Counsel agreed to leave
these to the Judgment of the Vice Chancellor
who will embody them in the final decree the
principal terms of which are as before stated.

MADAME MELBA's STORY.

Nine. MeIba. who is just now of the
chief attractions of the opera season, was
born in Melbourne (hence her nom de theatre)
in 1865. her original name being Mitchells.
She married an officer at early age but a
reverse of fortune obliged her to seek a living
with her voice. She went to Paris and stud
led under Nine. Marchesi, but could not at
first obtain an engagement, owing to her i'm
perfect mastery of French. She made her
Paris debut in October 1887 in "Rigoletto." "
Unlike Patti and Albani. she does not nurse
her voice, but talks and entertains on days
when she has to sing besides attending con-
certs, plays and even balls.-Exchange.

Colonel Bradley charged the State admins
tration with corruption, leading to an inves-
tigation by the next Legislature that ex-
posed the detection by State Treasurer
Tate to the amount of $4,000 and caused
his flight In this campaign there was not
single Republican daily paper in Ken
lucky and less than a dozen weeklies, and
the campaign fund, which was contributed
by Colonel Bradley, amounted to $3.50.
In 1888 Colonel Bradley was sent to the
national convention as a delegate at large
and every Kentucky delegate was instruct
ed to support him for the nomination for
Vice President, which he did not get be-
cause it was deemed impolitic to nominate
Southern man.
In 1892 Colonel Bradley again headed the
Kentucky delegation at Minneapolis.
Governor Bradley is a man little below
medium height, with great physical
strength and remarkable energy and in
dustry. He is companionable man and
fond of a good story. His family consists

famous Mckee family and is a great niece
of the wife of old Gov. Robert p. Letcher,
of Kentucky Governor Bradley's only son.

was a blow from which Governor Bradley
never recovered. The Governor and his
family are old Scotch-Irish Presbyterians.

THE NEW GOVERNOR.
prief sketch of Col. Bradley's Career
A Lawyer at Eighteen.

"A Lawyer at Eighteen.
William O'Connell Bradley was born in
Lancaster. Garrard county, KY, on March
Is. lS47 His father, Robert NJ. Bradley, was
the most distinguished land lawyer in the
State. but owing to his liberaiity and care
lessness about money matters he died poor.
Young Bradley was obliged to quit school at
the age of fourteen. the war causing the
SUSPENSION of the courts and leaving the
Bradley family without resources. The boy
ran away from home several times and en-
listed in the Union army, but account
of his youth his father took him home.
Finally. in 1865, Bradley having passed
creditable examination by two Circuit judg-
es the Legislature passed the first act Of
the kind in Kentucky, enabling him to pro-
cure a license TO practice law, he being only
eighteen years of age, the law requiring the
applicant TO be twenty-one years old.
From this time Bradley rapidly in
his profession, and for MANY years he has
stood in the front rank in Kentucky. In
the only office he has ever held. In 1872 he
was the Republican nominee for Congress
against the Hon. NJ. j. Durham, ex-Con-
troller of the Currency, and was defeated
by a small majority in a district over
whelmingly Democratic. In 1876 and 1878 he
was the Republican nominee for Congress,
but III health compelled him TO decline the
latter nomination, as that for Governor in
1879 Prior to this, and while too young to
be eligible, the RepuDllcan minority IN the
Legislature nominated him for United
States Senator.
In 1850 he was delegate at large TO the
Chicago convention, and there acquired ma
tionai reputation as an orator by his speech
seconding Grants nomination. He was then
chosen to represent Kentucky on the ma
tional committee. which place he still holds
In 1884 he made his famous defense of the
South against the attempt 10 deprive this
section Of equal representation. This speech
brought the convention 10 its feet and
stopped all effort to reduce Southern rep
resentation.
In 1887 Colonel Bradley made his great
race for Governor against Gen. Simon Boil
war Buckner, the ideal OF Kentucky South
ern soldiers. The result was in doubt for
several DAYS after the election and the final
returns showed that the Democratic major
