Jersey City with more genuine enthusi-
asm and patriotism than in many years
before Almost every building, public or
private. throughout the city, had its
American flag. while some of the buildings
were elaborately decorated The small
boy was out in force, and the din and
racket they made, assisted in many cases
by the father or big brother, was almost
deafenia. There were picnics and games
in the .rarious parks in the neighborhook.
Meetings were held in various halls and
churches, and taken altogether it was a
great Fourth OF July.

pole yesterday presented distressing APP

vicinity.
The fact that the flag usually hoisted
on the pole was not in its place, was no.

persons stood about passing uncomph-

duty it is to see the flag is in its proper

Fourth of July, such as none of the
present generation has ever witnessed,
was enjoyed From midnight Monday the
celebration began. The advent of the
Fourth and the 123d anniversary of the
signing Of the Declaration of Independence
was announced by the explosion of fire
arms of all kinds and the booming of
giant fire crackers. The noise was kept
up all day, and many persons, as the re-

the effect of prematurely exploded fire.

and the circumstance that Carter was pres
emit in New York Oh July @, 1897. when the
large checks were delivered to Gaynor on
that date, and that he was on many other
occasions, from 1892 to 1907, present in
New York when payments were made to
the contractors. He presents a statement
showing the deposits of currency made by
Capt. Carter simultaneously with the CASH
Ing of checks given to the contractors in
New York.
On another point the Attorney General
says:
Carriers statement Of the gold certifi-
Gates contained in Mr. Wescott's safe de-
posft box, to the amount of over 100000,
is such an extraordinary story, and so in
consistent with the methods of business
man. such as Mr.. Wescott is testified to
be, that 1t staggers credulity If that
money was there in a box to which Capt.
Garter had access, 1t Is more probable that
he put 1t there, using this means to with
hold temporarily from his own bank ac-
count large sums which he had received
would be entirely consistent with the the
ory OF fraud and concealment which is
maintained by the prosecution.
Carter Shrewd and Clever.
Capt. Carter is admittedly a shrewd and
clever man, and it is apparent from an ex-
animation of these accounts that he has re-
sorted to various devices to cover I'D his
tracks and conceal the true character of
MS transactions. Whether this was one of
them or not. or whether the whole story
Is fabrication. cannot be determined: but
in view OF all the evidence, considering the
improbability of his story, the failure to
produce corroborative proof, which was
within his reach, the long continued pos
session or the large amounts of securities
which he admittedly purchased, and the
collection and appropriation by himself of
the interest coupons thereon, with various
other considerations which tend to discredit
the truth OF his explanation, the conclusion
Is forced upon the mind that Captain Car
ter during these years, from 1892 to 1897.
had enriched himself to a large degree in
some manner not accounted for by his own
testimony, and the irresistible conclusion
therefore, is that the true explanation of
TINS rapid accession of wealth is one that
ne could not safely make, and that it is to
De accounted for only by accepting the the
DRY that ne participated in the fraudulent
proceeds OF the contracts under his charge"
Inc statement concludes as follows:
am, therefore, led to the conclusion
tnat the court-martial was justified in its
innings OF guilty upon the charges and
specincat1ons relating to these contracts of
September, 1896, and that the finding and
sentence of the court with respect thereto
should be Approved

Local Democrats Unable to Select
National Committeeman.
TEE FIELD AGAINST JAMES |. NORRIS
Unanimous Endorsement of Bryan
and Chicago Platform.
MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT

The democratic central committee spent
four exciting hours at Meyers Hotel last
night in an endeavor to select man to be
recommended to the national democratic
committee as successor of the late Law
renee Gardner, but failed to accomplish
the purpose. While the members of the
body could not agree on a local democrat
for that office they showed enthusiastic
unanmity when it came to discussion of
William Jennings Bryan and the Chicago
platform. Resolutions indorsing both
drawn in sentences which fairly tingled
with emphasis. were presented by Treas
ilrer Michael B. Scanlon, seconded by Dr.
Charles Allen and adopted, with hurrah,
unanimously.
AS indicated in The Star of yesterday, the
to be the field against Mr. James l.. Nor
ris, and although the adherents of Mr..
Newman and Messrs Holmead and Jordan,
the latter working together. prevented the
expected surging toward Mr.. Norris after
his strength was shown, little doubt is felt
that he will be chosen Mr.. Gardeners
successor when the national committee
takes the question uD for settlement.
The war in the camp opened over the
question of filing vacancies in the tfth,
fourteenth and twenty-second districts, the
first named being actual and the other two
