New-York tribune., 1900-12-15

to Section 3S2 of the charter President Coogan
had forfeited all rights to continue as President
OF the Borough of Manhattan. He said that Mr.
Coogan registered for the recent election at
Southampton Long Island and that the section
referred TO required that the president OF
borough must be a resident of that borough at
the time of his election and during the term for
which ne is elected. Mr.. Fitch contends that
Coogan is no longer a resident of Manhattan
and has forfeited all rights to hold office here
Controller Coler sent his secretary, Mr.. Baker,
to see President Coogan and ascertain If the
facts were correct Mr.. Coogan acknowledged
that they were. Mr. Fitch also pointed out that
Mr.. CoIer would be personally responsible for
any further salary paid TO President Coogan, and
.hat & must not come from the city.
President Coogan was asked about the matter
by a reporter
81 am a resident of the Borough of Manhat-
tan" ne said II have a summer home at
southampton and was down there, as my mother
in-law was seriously i'll. and was there long
enough to register in the district L am now
Twins. in this borough at my town house, and
do not consider that have forfeited my position
or that am a nonresident"
The salary of President Coogan is $1,000 a
year and the December instalment will be
ready IN few weeks Should Controller Coler
OeclQe TO WllDnOiQ II, FIeSAuSul NOO6eh NSN4N
have to resort to the courts to get it. which he
would probably do. Mr.. CoOgan said last night
that if the matter assumed judicial aspect his
lawyers would defend him.
All that Corporation Counsel Whalan would
say about the matter last night was that the
only way to determine the question OF Mr.. Coo
gan's status as official of this borough would
be for citizen to bring taxpayers suit
Friends of Mr.. CoOgan say that he owns a
house at No. $50 Fifth-ave., upon which he
pays taxes. and that he pays taxes on other
property in the Borough Of Manhattan. They
hold that this makes him resident OF Manhat-
tan.
James ]. CoOgan is one of the best known men
in local politics. He is not taken seriously by
the politicians. He is known particularly as an
uncomprOmisng supporter of Richard Croker,
and has frequently been called the satchel car
rler of the Tammany cheftain. He married a
daughter of Mrs. Lynch, owner of the Polo
Grounds and manages the estate, which is very
large, for his mOther-in-law and his wife. He
ran for Mayor on the Labor ticket a few years
ago. but received ridiculously small vote. II
was in that campaign that the cry Was list los
NIT COOgan?" was invented, and it has stuck 20
him ever since.

BATTLE NEAR PRETORIA.
CLEMENTS DRIVEN FROM HIS POSITION
WITH LOSS-FIGHTING CONTINUES.

London. Dec. 14-Lord Kitchener reports to
the War Office follows:
Pretoria, Dec. 13.-CIements's force at Nooit-
gedacht, on the Magaliesberg, was attacked at
dawn to-day by Delarey, reinforced by Beyer's
commando from Warmbath. making force esti-
mated at twenty-five hundred. Though the first
attack was reDulsed. the Beers managed to get
atop Of the Magaesberg. which was held by
four companies of the Northumberland Fusiliers
and were thus able TO command Clements's
camp. He retired on Hekpoort and took up
position on a hill in the centre of the valley.
The casualties have not been completely re-
ported, but the fighting very severe; and
deeply regret that Colonel Legge, of the Goth
Hussars, and Captains MacBean, Murdoch and
Atkins were killed. Reinforcements have left
here.
Lord Kitchener also reports that the Beers
made attack and were repulsed at Lichten-
burg, and that General Lemmer killed. At
tacks upon Bethlehem and Vrede were also re-
pulsed. the Beers losing ten killed and fourteen
wounded Vryheid was attacked December
IL. Snfping continued when the message
dispatched.
A dispatch from Johannesburg, dated 3:25
p. m, December IA. says:
The battle stin continues in the hills few
miles from Kriigersdorp. General Clements has
asked for achievements and mounted men,
under General French have already gone.
There have been many casualties on both sides.
It is estimated that the Beers number twenty
eight hundred.
The scenes at the War Office to-day recall those
witnessed in the early stages of the war. A con-
slant stream Of excited people filled the lobbies,
all seeking details of the disaster. The absence
OF the names OF any Of the officers of the North
cumberland Fusiliers in General Kitchener's dis
patch leads 10 the foreboding that the four COM
p&nies of the Fusiliers mentioned in the
hands of the Beers The officials OF the War
Office evidently expect heavy casualty list, but
they hopeful, from the fact that the dispatch
does not mention the capture of the Northum-
berlands, that such a great catastrophe has been
escaped.
The scene OF the fight is ominousy close TO
Pretoria. NOotgedacht is only twenty-five miles
northwest OF Pretoria.
