PRESIDENT B. i. {. Y0uHG's DENIAL
Rumors in Connection With
Hudson River Tunnel Lines
Fly Thick and Fast.
PRESIDENT B. +. c. Y0UHG'S DENIAL

President e. f. c. Young, of the Nortf
Jersey Street Railway Company, had his
attention this morning directed to another
statement made in relation to a proposed
trolley merger. The rumor ran that the
North Jersey would be absorbed in .
gigantic scheme to control all the traction
interests in New Jersey, New York Phisa-
despflia. Baltimore, Washington. St.
Louis, Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati,
and all this in connection with the new
tunnel under the Hudson River.
II don't know the source whence
these stories come connecting the North
Jersey with the scheme said Mr.. Young,
but this / can say that those who are
supposed to advocate 1t haven't mentioned
anything yet to our company, and from
what hear about 1t, it is purely moon-
shine
1t was also stated that Congressman n
Allan L. McDerm6tt, who Is president of
the Washington street railways, was In
.terested in the merger with the Metro
politan Railway Company of New York
as the prime mover
Mr.. McDermott's reply to Inquiries
touching the rumor was laconic:-
''Bosh,''
Mr.. Young said that while his COM
pany had nothing to do with the merger
scheme yet it was quite probable that rne
New York end might be joining interests.
He pointed out some time ago that the
only relations the North Jersey Street
Railway Company had with the new tun-
mel were that the company's cars would
run through it, but so far as the tunnel
company was concerned the companies
were as wide apart as the poles.
They are buying land for a terminal
on both the Jersey CITY and New York
lines, { he said to ssNews' representa-
tive. and they are going ahead with the
work. 1t viii be completed. that is cer-

By the Popular Crsaaizetion.

By the F9pu1at OK8AatA stAoAs
The next big event on the social politi-
cal calendar is the annual ball OF the
Tiger club, of Hobokep, at Odd Fellows
Hall, on Washington's Birthday eve, the
2Ist inst, and as the membership of the
club is composed Of residents of the va
rious sections Of the county, the interest
is not confined to Hoboken alone.
Since the organization OF the club each
succeeding social function has served to
Introduce some novelty in the arrange
ments, SO that the many patrons of the
club, in contemplating attending. now
look forward with pieasureable antici-
patton as to what novel feature to expect,
but always with the assurance that 1t will
be consistent with good taste
The bali this year will have the usual
quota of novelties prominent among
which will be an order Of dance that will
be very much out of the ordinary run.
The board of trustees have announced
that they viii be more of asnovelty than
the ones used at the last ball, and that
there will be a sufficient number Of them
provided to supply all who attend with
one, thus avaoiding the disappointment
of last year. when the attendance SO far
exceeded the expectations Of the club,
and the demand for them was SO great
that there was not enough to supply
every one
Another feature this year viii be the
decorations, which will be entirely of
American flags. but arranged so artis-
ticalIy and in such pfofusion that they
will be a novelty.
For the benefit Of those who desire to
engage coaches for the evening arrange
ments have been made. with a local livery
man to convey guests from any portion
Of Hoboken to the hall at the low rate Of
twenty-five cents per person, and at pro-
portionately low rates for out-of-town
guests. Orders for coachs may be sent to
the financial secretary, at the clubhouse,
Monroe street. Hoboken. The orders will
be filled ia the order IN which they are
received. So those desiring to take ads
vantage Of this offer will DO we'll 70 order
early.

INVASION OF GERMANY.
J. D. Rockefeller Backing Virginia
Carolina Chemical Co.

BERLIN, MAY 3.-John d. Rockefeller,
it is understood, is behind the Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company's designs on
the German potash fields, While Messrs.
S. T. Morgan, G. d. Crenshaw and K. g.
Sputsbury are the only Americans taking
part in the conferences which are being
held daily at the Hotel Bristol with the
members of the German potash 'yndicste,

presenting MIR. Rockefeller, are at the
same hotel, waiting for the onlcums OF

the project Mr.. Bradley, in bc"alf OF
himself and Mr. Gibbons, firmly denies
that they are here for any such purpose
but the potash syndicate people of Stass
furt have been so informed.

they approached the heads of the syndi'
cate several weeks ago we're repelled. Af'
ter the Americans had acquired options on

purpose to break into the industry, the
members of the syndicate invited them to
come to Strassfurt again.
Mr.. Morgan wired Thursday to the syn
dicate members saying that if they wanted
to see him they must come to Berlin. Two
members of the syndicate appeared yes
terday and had a long talk with him..
The indications are that the syndicate can
be broken up at the termination OF the
present agreement, in 1905. The owner
ship of the syndicate properties is widely
distributed and buying control of the
properties is likely to require months and
capital exceeding S50,0O0,0O0. The only
thing which NAV cause the Americans
withdrawal from the attempt is that some
of the properties operated by the syndi'
cate belong to the Prussian treasury which
is also the owner of large unworked prop
critics. The Americans must secure a
lease of these for long term of years II
they wish TO dominate the industry.
