STEvENS'S PRESIDENT
Alexander C. Humphries by
Cable Agrees to Head the
Institute.

Word was received by the trustees of
Stevens Institute, Hoboken, this morn
ing, that Alexander G. Humphries, who
is at present in Europe, had decided to
accept the office of president of the insti-
tute. Mr. Humphries was unanimously
elected presiden by the trustees shortly
after the death of President Morton, but
declined to accept at the time because he
desired first to consult his business part
ner, Mr.. Glasgow
Mr. Humphries is senior partner of the
firm Of Humphries & Glasgow, of New
York and London. He sailed for Europe
last June. While abroad, it is said, he
consulted his partner and also Andrew
Carnegie a trustee Of Stevens, who was
the only member of the board absent
whent Mr.. Humphries was elected presi-
dent
1t is said that both Mr.. Carnegie and
Mr.. Glasgow persuaded him to take the
presidency and Mr.. HumphIies there
upon sent eablegram to the board ac-
cepting. The cablegram was received at
the institute this morning. Itseaused gen
eral rejoicing among the trustees, as it
was feared that Mr.. Humphries would
find his other duties too strenuous to
permit him to act as president of the in
stitute.

CRIED STOP THIEF"
Mr.. Arbuckle More Confident
Than the Police That Burg
lars Were Around.


The residents in the neighborhood of
the Central Railroad cut near the Ar
lington avenue station shortly after ! A.
M. Monday morning were awakened by
hearing Mr. J. Arbuckle, of No. 26411a
Arlington avenue, cry Stop thief"
Mr.. Arbuckle ran down stairs soon
after he heard his door slam and claims
he saw a man running out Of the front
yard.
He notified the police, and Officers
O'Connor, Moulton and Green, of the
Ocean avenue station, and Lockwood and
Giraffe, from the Fourth Precinct, quick
ly responded, but there was no evidence
that any one had entered the house, Pa
trolman Green passed Eve minutes before
the xcitement, but saw no one around.
About the time this happened two men
were seen to go up Clerk street. Th po-
lice think Mr. Arbuckle left his door
ajar and til wind had slammed it shut
and he had imagined he saw man jump
over the front fence.
Mr. Arbuckle, though, feels sure it was
a thief, although not a thing has been
missed.

The association had planned to hold
its outing and games this year on Labor
Day on New Dorp Beach. The commit
tee in charge worked long and earnestly
and sold over four hundred tickets for
the event.
Monday morning the members and
their friends, numbering nearly 400, with
their special up-to-date outing hats and
canes, boarded the steamer at the foot
of Morris street which was to convey
them to Hetts-by-the-Sea, New Dorp.
LEADER MISSING.
The men were singing and having a
merry time while they We're waiting for
the standard bearer of the association
and the few stragglers.
Nine o'clock came and still he did not
appear. This was the time the steamer
was leave the dock. Half-past and the
crowd became more impatient AT ten
o'clock the cry arose to go and let him
follow by train.
Members of the organization were in
the act of loosening the ropes at this
er politely informed those gathered on
the boat that the charter of his barge
had not yet been paid and therefore he
could not proceed.
ALL DISEMBARK.
Search for William II. Harrington was
in vain He had not been seen in his sa-
loon on Ocean and Kearney avenues all
that morning This place was the head
quarters of the association.
AS soon as Revenue Collector John
Kaiser, who was among the members,
heard that the boat had not been paid
for, he said:-.Ill give 500 to have this
outing continued and he offered the
money to the captain. The captain re-
fused to take it, and the party disem-
barked.
The disappointed people scattered all
over the city or returned to their re-
spective homes after having paid 81 for
ticket.
OF the three or four hundred tickets
sold over two hundred, it is said, were
paid for.
"A reporter was told at Mr.. Earring
toms place this morning that he was
sick in bed and could not be seen.

prominent people and dancing all day.

Commissioner Frank Angel delivered
a short address, in which he cempll-
mented the men on the success Of their
venture aud for the noble spirit shown
in endeavoring to increase the pension

can no longer care for themselves.
Mr. Ehomas Clifford of New York also
spoke of the great benefits to be de-
rived from well established pension
fund.
The games in the afternoon were in
teresting and exciting. A number of

DR.. M'GILL ENDORSED
He Has Done His Duty and

City Collector Robert Davis returned
Saturday evening from his summer va
cation at AGRA, in the Catskills, enjoying
the best of health and thoroughly equip
ped for the onerous duties which will
fall to his lot during the coming cam
paign. He went away on August IA,
and during his absence he'did not worry
about things political. He gave up his
entire time to fun and recreation and
says that he never had more enjoyable
period of rest
When Mr.. Davis reached his Office in
the City Hall this morning he found that
the walls and ceilings had been repainted
and redecorated during his absence He
was much pleased with the great inn
provement. He found all his clerks back
from their vacations and was warmly
greeted Mr.. Dayis's official duties were
ably cared for by his son William j.
Davis, the deputy City Collector, while
he was in the mountains, and tie collec-
tor simply had to take up the work
where he left off before starting for
AGRA.
The collectors office was filled all the
morning with citizens and prominent city
and county officials who dropped in to
greet the returned Democratic leader.
THE EXCISE ORDINANCE.
During the City Collectors absence
several matters Of public interest devel-
oped which more or less interested him.
Chief among these was the action of the
Board of Aldermen in introducing an or
dinance providing for the election of
Board Of Excise, under the authority of
an act of the Legislature, approved after
the Jersey City Excise law became oper-
atiyc.
''What do you think Of the Aldermen's
action?' he was asked BY Jersey City
News reporter.
II should think that before ordering
anything like that he replied, "they
would have consulted the Corporation
Counsel. But perhaps they got legal
advice from some other source. They
should have applied to Mr.. Record, how
eyer. The Introduction Of the ordinance

cost the city cent. The Board of Alder
men closed up low dives and what was
the result? The press criticized them.
Nowadays if saloonkeeper doesn't buy
certain kind of beer. they say, he won't
get license. The excise department is
very expensive institution now COM
pared to the time before the Excise Com
mission came into existence.
THE HOSPITAL INCIDENT.
"What is your opinion of DR.. McGill's
attitude in the City Hospital transferw
Il think that DR.. McGill is right" he
replied HE acted on the advice of the
best of counsel. The doctor is neither a
buffer nor quitter. Anybody who
wants to have frst-class fight with him
will find that he won't easily surrender.
Dr. McGill is the best sticker for his
rights of any man l know of in the
DtuOCIdlic party. Liz NaSA eASueSea
right by Mayor Pagan, who turned him
down, and is fighting the hospital trans
fer, not because he is trying to delay
the building of the hospital, but because
he believes the law is unconstitutional
and wants to see that everything IS
right before the city goes ahead.
s'Dr. McGill said that he considered
the law department incompetent for
drawing up what he believes to be an
unconstitutional hospital act," remarked
the reporter. "Do you agree with him =
II think the doctor is right said the
Collector. s'There are only a few men
who can draw a bill which will stand
.sWhat do you think the courts will
do?"
81 never anticipate the action of the
courts"
.'Dr. McGill says he will give $4,000
if fund of $35O,OOO is raised by popu-
lar subscription for the erection of a City
Hospital" remarked the reporter.
$50 1 see,', said Mr.. Davis. "The
offer is generous. l believe, however,
that the city is able to build its own hos
pital. The administration pledged utself
to give us one and it should keep its
pledges"
POLITICS TABOOED.
t'What is the political outlook in the
county?"
SIT is extremely bright"
During your absence do you think
the sentiment changed in regard to Eel
ler's candidacy for Sheriff."
''No, but l am not goin to talk poll
tics.''
sWill the political differences in Ho-
boken between Mayor Lankering and
the organization have any effect in the
coming campaign!
THE Republicans seem to be making
it appear that there is trouble over there.
They have bothers enough of their own.
The Democrats will settle their own
differences, if there are any.
1T begins to look as if the Republicans
were in hole when they have to send
for ex-Congressman Tom McEwan, Her.
man Walker and Aaron S. Baldwin for
a talk at the Union League Club to patch
up their difficulties. l understand that
such conference was held, yet it looks
as if they had lots of trouble of their
own"

WHERE SHE WAS WRONG.
Mistaken Impression Of Old Lady
New to Automobiling.

Mistaken Impression Of Old Lady
New to Automobiling.
It had taken considerable per-
suasion to induce the old lady to take
seat in an automobile, but finally
she had consented to do SO because
she was anxious to reach the bedside
of her sick grandchild in a village
some twenty miles away, the last
train for which had left some ten min
utes before she arrived at the station.
When the owner of the big automo-
bile, who was touring through Long
Island, had overheard the old lady's
regrets at being left, he had insisted
on her accompanying him, as he was
to pass through the particular one of
the half dozens or more Long Island
villages named Hampton where, the
sick grandchild lived. Everything
went lovely until the almost flying We
hicle, in attempting to pass q wagon
loaded with hay which occupied the
entire center of the road, went unex-
pectedly into tho ditch and rather VIC
lently deposited its occupants In an
adjoining field. IDS. !. s 81 81 =zs.ss
Recovering from the shock, though
somewhat confused from the rather
unusual method Of alighting from 9
vehicle, the old lady asked Of the
|schagrined chauffeur:
