BELL MADE AN APOLOGY
And Harmony Is Supposed to
Exist Among Hoboken SCHOOL,
Commissioners.

School Commissioner Bell. Of Hoboken,
mad an apology to his fellow Commis-
sioners of Public Instructions, at a meet
ing last night for certain utterances
which he had made at a recent meeting.
The apology had a string to 1t. That
is it did not quite cover everything Mr..
Bell had said, but 1t seemed to satisfy the
board and it was gratefully accepted.
Among other things Mr.. Bell gave vent
to at the former meeting, which brought
the wrath of the Commissioners down up
on his devoted head. was a statement to
tho effect that appropriations for school
repairs had been exceeded. He was call
ed before the Grand Jury a few days ago
in reference. it is supposed. to the
alleged extravaganza, but what passed in
the star chamber is of course unknown.
The Commissioner had evidently
thought the matter over and come to the
conclusion that something ought to be
done with a view to placing themselves in
a more favorable light a public economists
before the people of Hoboken. They were
all primed for the fray which Commits
sioner Stuhr started by abruptly demand
ing an apology from Bell for having
spoken his unkind thoughts.
President Offermann thought that the
balm of an apology was necessary to heal
the laeerated feelings of the board, which
he said had been 'scandalized'' by Mr..
Bells remarks.
Commissioner Keresey, when his turn
came varied the matter a little by saying
that Mr.. Bell was always poking his nose
around looking for trouble, and usually
succeeded in finding it, while Commits

Claim Victory at the

P~LAINFIEID, Oct. II. 1Ss9@Notwith-
standing the fact that Chancery Clerk
Thompson's friends are claiming that
Senator Charles A. Reed did NOT win a
cIean-cut victory in the Republican pri-
maries held throughout Somerset county
Saturday, Senator Reed claims to have
positive assurance that twenty-eight of
the forty-ive delegates in the county con-
vention will be Reed adherents through
thick and thin.
Senator Reed says the delegates from
Bridgeton and B~ranchburg viii be for
Thompson's candidate. The Montgomery
Township delegation will be divided, three
for Reed n two for ~Thompson's man.
The Warren Township delegation viii be
with the majority, whether it is Reed or
Thompson.
This summary of the result of the pri-
maries by Senator Reed seems to be veri-
fled from other sources.
A report was sent out from Somerville
last night thai the ten delegates from
Bernards and Bedminster townships, who
were elected through the influence of E..
C. Schley and F. P. Olcott, wealthy bank
ers of tha section, and who, the Reed
men claimed, are pledged for Joseph S.
Frelinghuysen, h is Independent of
either faction. This would cut the num-
Der of the Reed delegates down to less
than twenty-five out of the forty-ive
elected in the county. The Thompson fac
ton claimed. as a consequence, that they
would have a majority of delegates from
the start in the convention if the Schley-
Olcott combination carried out their in
tention Of forcing their candidate.
The report was also tent out from Som
ryille that the Republican leaders of the
State have proposed a compromise candi-
date in the interest of harmony, and that
a meeting would be held today between
the leaders of the Reed and Thompson
didate not allied with either. The names
of Charles Place and w. w. Rowland. of
North Plainfield, and w. H. Whiting, of
Bound Brook, ii was said, were mentioned
as possible compromise candidates.
When this report was shown to Senator
Reed yesterday morning he said he knew
of no compromise candidate, and that 50
far as he knew he would be the candidate
to be nominated in the convention. He
said that a majority of the delegates e,ect4
ed to the convention were favorable to
his candidacy and that he hardly thought
they would consent to any one else being
chosen in his place.
So far as a conference being held be-
tween the Reed and Thompson factions.
Mr- Reed said that if he was invited 10
attend such a meeting he would go, but
not for the purpose of settling on a COM
promise candidate.

Especial TO 9TH Jersey City News.
TRENTON. Oct. II, 1S9s.-Much interest
is manifested in the office of the 6ecre-
tary of State and among State officials
concerning the doings Of the Industrial
| Commission now in session in Washing
ton.
The big Industrial corporations which
have for some years past Incorporated
under the laws Of New Jersey are in a
! state of excitement over the proposed
test of the legality OF their interpretations,
owing to the fact thai many OF them
have openly disobeyed the law of New
Jersey, which requires the stock and
transfer books of all companies incorpor-
ated in the State TO be kept at their prin-
cipai office In the State. The Industrial
Commission now in session at Washing
ton has taken this matter up, and there
are some interesting developments ex-
pected in the near future.
For two weeks past the commission has
had a number of Secret Service men in
its employ visiting all the trust compan-
les and other places which the announced
as the New Jersey offices Of these big
corporations, and has inquired in refer
ence to these to each of them whether
the stock and transfer books were kept
there in accordance with the law, and de-
manded proof Of the fact. In a large
number of cases it was found that the law
has been entirely d~isregarded, and that no
books of transfer or stock books were
kept in the State, the big corporations
simply paying a fee to the local trust
company for the privilege of naming it
as their New Jersey office.
AS a result of this investigation sub
poenaes have been served on the presi-
dents and secretaries of over fifty of the
principal industrial corporations incor-
porated in New Jersey, requiring them
to attend In Washington tomorrow to an
swer such question as may be put to
them.
For the last two days there has been a
big running to cover on the part OF these
corporations. and huge boxes of express
natter have been shipped into New Jer-
sey from Boston, Chicago and Pennsyl-
vania as well as New York City. contain
ing the books in question. There is likely
to be some lively lodging at the session
of the commission tomorrow when these
officials are questioned closely as to how
long the books lave been in New Jersey,
and whether they have been kept there
continuously since the incorporation of
the companies.
There has already been a disposition,
it is said. on the part of several of these
larger companies to surrender their New
Jersey charters and reincorporate under
the laws of Delaware. where the law does
not require tina the original stock and
transfer books, but only that duplicates
shall be kept in the State.

General Notes of Interest.

The net Increase in the membership of
the League OF American Wheelmen last
week was 5GS. This Is particularly grati-
flying to the officers Of the organization,
for at this season of the year the mem
bership is always lowest and an Increase
is not expected. The increase in such
numbers Is an indication Of a reaction
from the gradual reduction in the menu
bership which has been noted during the
season and every effort Is promised to
keep 1t on the upward path. The League
is in need OF a large membership during
the winter months more than at any
other time. for then Is when It has to at
tack the Legislature in the interests Of
whealmen and this can be done success
fully only with d strong backing.
