1 shall do in that respect yet, but one
thing is certain and that is that snail
not ask for reelection"
Must Be a Democrat
1t is evident that the ring demo-
Gratis want a democrat for the Office OF
mayor and they want one that is true.
There has been some names suggested
who are not solid democrats and
great deal of discussion has arisen
from it. 1t appears to be the sentiment
of those who want a strict democrat
that it should be a democrat who sup
ported Bryan in the last election Ii
the popular candidate does not pre-
tend to be a politician it makes no
difference who he voted for for Presl.
dent, but if he is a politician he must
be a Bryan man to make his democracy
good.
A Democrats Views.
A prominent anti-ring democrat,
one we'll known to the people OF Ell
Paso as one of the most enterprising
citizens of the town, said to a Herald
reporter this morning:
Il am in favor of an independent
ticket to oppose the ring. We have
had about all we want of bossism.
The way to get an Independent ticket
that will suit all classes and about the
only way, is to put an equal number of
persons on it who belong to the diff
ferent parties. Give no party the ad-
vantage and the best results will be
obtained. Divide the honors equally,
that's the idea"

LANDED In JAIL
THREE OF THE ALLEGED MUIR
DERERS OF YSLETA MERCHANT
Had Been Under Ser
veilance for Days and this Morning
Officers Closed in on the Bunch.

Three of the supposed murderers of
Pablo Romero are now in the county
Jail awaiting the action of the court.
They were arrested this morning af-
ter search of nine months.
The parties arrested are Sabina Con
zales. Gregorio Martinez and Bremo
Carnano. They were all arrested in
Ell Paso by the sheriff's force this
morning and locked in Jail. Another
Mexican was arrested in Ysleta this
morning charged with the three ar
rested here but has not been brought
to town and his name could not he
learned.
The Crime
1t will be remembered that on the
fourth of last July Pablo Romero was
found dead in his store at Ysleta and
the crime was shrouded in mystery for
many months. There has been rum-
erous arrests since that time but none
have been the right parties. 1t is be-
lieved. and the belief is backed with
good evidence, that the parties ar
rested today are the right men and
their conviction is entirely probable.
Pablo Romero was a highly respect
ed old Mexican merchant at Ysleta and
had been living all alone for months
He usually had plenty of money and it
S thought that the murder was com
nitted with the purpose of robbery.
He was found dead in his store after
he had grown cold and since the first
arrests it is said that the proper men
became too confident and gave their
,wn secret away.

ITS LAND NOT TAXABLE.
Morris and Cummings Co.
Protests Against Assess
ment on Communi-
paw Bay.

The State Board of Taxation resumed
today the hearing of the appeal of the
Morris and Cummings Dredging Co. from
the assessments levied by the local Tax
Board on their property. The property
in question is in Communipaw Bay and is
assessed at SAC, 600.
1t is contended by the company that the
local Tax Board has no right to tax
lands under water. Further, they insist
that the property assessed is without the
jurisdiction of Jersey City, it being with
in the lines of New York State, so they
claim, as laid down some years ago By
the Harbor Line Board and approved by
the Secretary of War;
President Samuel c. Clarke, of the Tax
Board, who made an inspection of the
property and fixed the assessment, claims
that the city has a right to tax the prop
crty. 1t is well understood that the CONF
pany proposes to fill in and build
wharves Should the precedent be estab-
lished that no assessment can be levied
on it the city's officers are of opinion that
in the future it will lead to endless litiga-
tion, and they wish to put the citys posi-
ton clear.
Lawyer Allan Benny represented the
company and produced a number of witt
nesses who with maps showed that the
property was under water Counseps CON-
tention was that no assessment could be
made The Commissioners took the pa
pers and will give decision later.

upon me-" That statement is on record
IT was made under oath and II 1t Is not
true It is perjury. Mrs. Barker's friends
would welcome any action Mr.. Keller
might bring to elicit all the facts. She
cannot be expected to make the next
move. 1t is impossible for her to prose-
cute him for assault as the offense is now
barred by the statute of limitations"
DR.. James A. Exton Keller's physi-
clan, said
MY judgment is that Keller will take
action at the proper time. He does not
intend to rush matters. 1 do not believe
he will allow this reproach to rest over
him without doing something
At the Sands House. Arlington, where
Keller boards, it was said yesterday he
could not be seen.
Mr.. Keller is preparing himself for
another surgical operation, the result of
which may slightly ameliorate his present
condition, or leave him totally blind for
life. 1t has been learned that splinters
of bone that were driven toward the
muscles controlling the surviving eye by
the impact of Barker's bullet have be-
gun to cause so much trouble that another
operation must be performed to remove
them. The right eye was removed en-
tirely, and Mr. Keller now has no muscu-
lar control whatever over the left eye.

NO. ALNSHOUSE START
Board of Guardians Will
Get Children Direct
From Poormasters.

|. The New Jersey State Board of Chill
dren's Guardians is making arrangements
| to receive pauper children direct from the
poormasters instead of getting them from
the almhouses as at present. John Grill
fen. counsel to the Hudson County Board
of Freeholders, has advised the poard
that under the Board of Guardian law
children who become county charges, IN
stead of being committed first to the aims
house, may be sent to the guarolans dl-
rect by the poormaster.
If this ruling is taken advantage OF by
all the counties, and it is said that Huo-
son County will follow it without delay,
it will mean that in New Jersey no more
children will be subjected to the unwhole-
some influence of almshouse life even
for ad ay. The Board of Guardians
places the pauper children of the State
in comfortable homes, the more promis-
ing ones with persons who care for them
as their own, and the others with fam
lilies who are paid for boarding them.
Up to the present the children have been
committed, according to the old method,
to the aImshouees, there to mingle with
older paupers and to be branded as a
poorhouse inmate Superintendent Stone,
OIL the Ol IudiuiaHS, NSSifi 60 .AASeS
even a month or a week of almshouse life
will leave it's indelible stamp upon child.
1--WE shall be able to do more with the
Children he said, eff we can keep them
from the contamination of the almshouse.
The misery, the depravity, the woe of
almshouse life, once witnessed by child,
become fixed forever on its mind and it
never gets rid of the pauper taint."
Supt. Stone will have to make arrange
ments for receiving children committed
to the board by the poormasters. The
children when received are usually dirty
and covered with rags. They have to be
cleaned up and fitted out with new cloth
ing. Often they have to undergo medical
examination before they can be recon-
mended for homes. Supt. stones present
plan is to engage some woman living IN
Jersey City, near the office of the board,
VINO will take the children as tney arc
committed care for them and house them
until they can be placed.
The clothing for the children is pur-
chased by Miss Frances Day, agent of the
board.
Superintendent Stone does not anticipate
that any child committed direct to the
Board of Guardians will require tempo
rary home for more than day or two,
as there are on file applications for many
more children than can be supplied and
there are many good boarding homes yet
untitled.

JOHN l.. BLA|R'S WILL
1t Will Be Construed by the
Court Because Of Change
in Stocks.
Especial to .arhe Jersey city News."I

Especial to 1.-The Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, July 10, 1901-Judge George
NJ. Shipman, of Belvidere secured an
order from the Court of Chancery yes
terday appointing the clerk of the court
guardian ad libitum to several infant
heirs to the millions of the late John I.
Blair. A bill was filed in Chancery by
Judge Shipman for Dewitt C. Blair, of
Belvidere. the principal heir of the late
John 1. Blair, against Charles Scribner
ct al. for a distribution of the estate in
excess of the estate specifically bequeath-
ed under the will, and it is upon this bill
that the Chancelor's opinion is based.
The main matter in dispute concerns
the carrying out of certain trusts Mr..
Blair in his will left property valued at
several millions to different children and
specified what stocks and securities they
should receive. The will was drawn
many years before his death and as he
disposed of stocks held by him it hap
pens that in many cases the estate does
not now own the specific number of
shares bequeathed.
The purpose of the suit which counsel
for the executor says is friendly, is to
have the court determine whether the
benefieiaries shall receive the number of
shares of stock of the different kinds
that were owned by Mr.. Blair at his
death or receive from the residue of
the estate an amount sufficient to make
up those shares mentioned in the will
and not held by Mr.. Blair when he died
at Blairstown, on December q 1899.
The bill then enumerates stocks valued
at between $20OOO,0OO and $50, 100000, which
were mentioned in the will and which
constituted part of the trust of the execu-
tor. Some of the bonds became value
less, the corporations having ceased to
exist, while others have greatly increased
both in value and number of shares.
Among the defendants named in ths
suit are J. Blair Scribner, Charles Scrib-
ner, Arthur H. Scribner, Emma Scribner
Larned, Isabella Scribner Fitzhugh, the
grandchildren of John I. Blair, and Clar-
ence B. Mitchell and John D. Vail.
While it was not specifically stated in
the bill, there were rises in prices of
some of the stock held by the Blair estate.
Only last summer the Bangor and Port
land Railway stock was disposed of at
nearly treble what it stood Mr.. Blair in
at the time of his death.
The settling of the Blair estate has
taken away from that part of Warren
county vast sums of taxable securities.
the amount in Blairstown township alone
having reduced the taxable valuation
nearly one-half.

TAX RATE TO BE S2.4O
Finance Board at Work Over
the Budget-No Increase
Over Last Year.

Finance Commissioners Henry Lembeck,
Jacob Ringle, w. F. Midlige and J. Il.
Carnes met this afternon to continue
their work on the budget. The aggregate
amounts requested by the various muni-
cipal departments for the coming fiscal
year foot up about $2.6oO,000, an increase
over last year of about $4,000. This is
due to bond issues and ohter matters not
provided for in the last levy.
One thing is certain, said one of the
Commissioners today, that the rate will
not be increased over that of last year,
240 To affect this there will be a great
deal of cutting down here and there in
the estimates.
