POLICE TO THE RESCUE

The peaceableness and good conduct
that has characterized the doings Of the
striking silk weavers of West Hoboken
since the beginning of the strike was
marred this morning by an attack made
by a gang of the strikers upon an APP
plicant for work at Giyanand Brothers
mill at Spring and John streets.
Joseph Quaglia, of No. 113 Mulberry
street, New York, came to the mill in
search of work in answer to an advertise
ment He is not a weaver, bat was
willing to accept employment as learn
er. He first applied last week and was
told to come again today But, for some
reason, he was again put off until to-
morrow. On leaving the mill a gang OF
strikers lettering in the vicinity followed
him block into Savoye street and there
attacked him.
Quaglia is a small man and would
have faired badly at the hands of the
strikers had not the policeman on duty
at the mill seen the men follow him and
suspecting their intentions had Chief
McAuley and Policemen Sehaumberg,
and Cartney follow them. The police
men came up just as the men attacked
Quaglia and interfered before they could
be him serious injury.
-Four men were arrested, and with
Quaglia as complainant, were taken TO
the police station.
They Were Joseph Lonidi, forty-two
years old, of No. 412 Stevens. street;
Joseph Spyrigi, aged twenty-five, of No.
255 Morris street; Louis Galvaney, thlr-
ty years, of No. 46S Summit avenue, and
John Merchergg twenty-eight years old,
of No. 407 Courtland street. Al a9e

There was apparently no change In
the condition of affairs at any OF the
mills today. All are in operation, and
at each a number of new hands have
been taken on, but very few if ary in the
weaving department except as learners.
The mill owners exhibit no anxiety in
the matter, the bulk of the business seas
on being now over and all express de-
termination to entirely close their mills
before they will recognize their Union

years old of No. 1876 Fourth street, was
hel din the First Criminal oCurt this
morning to await the action of the Grand
Jury upon charge of felonious assault
upon Acting Patrolman George STRAIT

About 1.30 o'clock Sunday morning
Stratford heard the report of revolver
and saw three men standing at Grove
and First streets. He was two blocks
awy at the time but quickly ran to the
scene. When almost up to them they
ran away. Stratford saw O revolver
in the hands of one of them and he at
tempted to catch him. While running
the fugitive turned and pointed his wea-
pom at his pursuer. Stratford threw his
night stick at the man, who di not shoot
but kept on running.
Stafford drew his gun and the next
time the man turned had him covered
and commanded him to halt The fellow
threw his pistol away and halted on the
corner of Henderson and Third streets

His two friends proved to be his
brother Joseph and Tony Aldenonda,
who both testified that gang of toughs

Newark avenue and had set upon and
beaten them. They also testified that
they had not seen the shot fired.

sidercd equitable, in view of the oft-re-
peated cry in the past that Jersey City
was being imposed upon by her sister
municipalities.
The County Board does, not want any
of the credit of jacking up this city's val
uations. The Commissioners were will
ing that the Republican Tax Board
should assume that responsibility in their
supplemental report.
The County Board confirmed the work
of the different assessors throughout the
county by adopting this resolution
BY Commissioner Love-
Whereas, This Board has carefully ex-
amined the duplicates of the assessors
of the different assessment districts,
cities. towns and townships of the county
and duly investigated and inquired into
the assessments returned by them in ac-
cordance with the law for the purpose of
equalizing the taxes between the several
assessment districts, cities, towns and
townships in the county; and,
Whereas, 1t is the Judgment of this
Board that the valuation of the assessors
as ascertained in the respective asses
sors' duplicates as the same have been
adjusted by this Board are relatively
high as they can be made, and that the
value of the property contained in any
duplicate as adjusted is not relatively
less than the value of other property
in the county. and that it is the judgment
of this Board that the valuation OF the
respective assessors as contained in their,
duplicates as adjusted are relatively
equal and that the apportionment OF the
State school and county taxes should be
made upon the valuation of the respec-
tive assessors as adjusted by this Board
as they now stand upon the different
duplicates; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this Board do now in
accordance with the statute in such cases
made and provided proceed to make such
apportionment upon the basis of the
valuations as they now stand as adjust

Gates of the respective assessors as re-
turned to this Board by them and adj

JERSEY CITY JAckED UP

At meeting of the County Board for
the Equalization of Taxes this afternoon
the county tax rate for the year 1923
was struck at S5.52 per $1,000 of rata
bles. and the States school tax rate at
S1.T1.
Clerk James Connolly, of the Board,
was busy all the morning tabrsating the
duplicates of the assessors Of the differ
ent cities, towns and townships which
shows at a glance the relative burdens
which will be borne by the different mu-
nicipalities in the matter of taxation.

TABLES TURNED.
For many years the Jersey City mem
hers of the County Board insisted that
the outlying districts were making un-
fair returns. They lacked up the valu-
ations with wonderful regularity. so
Jersey City would not be compelled to
bear more than its fair share of the
County burden. Some of the returns
made by the towns this year were in
creased for the same reason, and then
came the action Of the Tax Commission
ers. Degnan and Lindsay. in boosting
Jersey City's returns, originally made to
the County Board for the equa4ization
OF taxes by President Hoos, Mr.. Deg
nan and the late Charles Dayton, for the
purpose Of keeping down. the city tax
rate.
In order to do this they raised the as
sessed valuations on the properties of
many corporations about $3,00o,0o0 and
have made the taxpayers Of the outly-
ing districts very happy in consequence
by lowering the County rate and thus
lessening their share of County obliga-
tions.

LIGHT HEART UNDER FAILURE

A light heart under failure is an other condition of success which may be written down as an essential. No one should need to be warned against the deleterious effects of the blues. Tn one of those beautiful prayers which Robert Louis Stevenson wrote for us i'll his Samoan household, he prayed for courage and gayety and a quiet mind" A man who backs up his brain with these three gifts has all the odds i'll his favor. It is next to impossible that he should fail in what he undertakes to accomplish.
 Gayety is the essence of power. What is there in q failure or two to cry about, or in lozen failures, when you know you are bound to get there l?
 Success is not% an external trophy, not something you have to hunt or en- snare like q bird. Success inheres in oneself. or in every true piece Of work one does. Not the most powerful op- position, nor the bitterest or meanest under-estimation can do more than de- lay any success we really deserve. Ultimately we and our work must he assessed at it's proper value; and, though we may be dead when the time comes. we shall have succeeded nev- ertheless. Every day we hear . Of men succeeding in their graves. But that only means that the world was slow to see that they had succeeded years ago, while they were living and working with us. The men them selves, We may be sure though rob bed of temporary rewards. knew deep in their hearts. that they had succeeded, and confidently left their work behind to 'ireport them and their cause aright." when the time should come for it's value to be under stood. To be misunderstood. to be vflified, to be laughed at, to die poor and unregarded is not to fail. So long as you know. without a shadow of doubt that your work is. real, and that the very universe is committed to take care of it and compel it's rec ognition, you can afford to die with q smile on your lips, or the sunshine of success filling your heart- Richard LeGallienne in March Success.

Four hundred men have proposed marriage to Mrs Ethel Costello. pret- ty young widow of Kalamazoo Mich !, since she became heiress to a fortune of $3OO,O0O ten days ago, and propos- als are still coming in by every mail
 Among the aspirants for the wid- ow's hand is Ernest O. Robb. a prom inent fur merchant of Winnipeg. Robb's letter, which is apparently written in good faith, explains that after hearing of Mrs Costello's good fortune, he felt immediately drawn toward her, and has never ceased thinking of her. He says he cannot refrain from penning few brief lines telling of my admiration and love- The letter than continues: First of all, l wish to impress upon you the fact that I am not q fortune hunter. but man who is seeking the companionship of dear woman like yourself. I have money, as I am a fur dealer. and in the past few years have made my fortune. If you will only take my word you will see how honestly sincere I am to make the matter plain. I wish to marry you and if you have faith in my words, send me $50 as a guaran- tee and I will immediately come to you am no fake gentleman, but a sure one

Ut is still possible that the conven- ton will recognize the justice of the requests tliat have been made and that q settlement may be reached, but the present situation is certainly much to be regretted. One thing, how ever, has developed; it can no longer be said that the delegates from the large centers have no plan and do not know what they want. The commit tee, action has shown that this asser- tion is not well founded"
 Thus speaks the editor of the Hart ford Courant after attending last evenings session of the committee of 24. A few of the delegates from the large centers, the Courant must understand. were not at last nights conferences. Delegate Vance at least will not endorse the Bennett plan, nor any other for that matter except one that endorses the Vance plan or something very similar.

With the rumor that Wanamaker is going to open store i'll Waterbury, it might be interesting to our readers to know i'll detail what Mir Wanamaker n1-ss for advertising his Philadelphia store. The following is a correct state ment from an exchanges: "John Wana- maker pays over $1,O00 a day just for advertising his Philadelphia store. He uses a page a day in five daily news papers in that city. They are as fol lows: Press. $60000; Ledger. $6O,0o0; Times, $50,000; North American. $T5,- 000,and Evening Telegraph, $50.OOO. Up to a few months ago M- Wanamaker was using page in the Record at the rate of $87,000 year, which would have made an annual expenditure or $3S2, 300. When he wanted to renew his advertising contract with the Rec ord the publishers asked $25, ,0O0 more, or total of SIP, 800. MT Wanamaker refused to pay the amount, thinking that no one else would pay that sum for the page. The proposition was made to Lit Bros, who accepted the contract without q moments hesita- ton, and they are now paying the enor- nous sum of SIP, 300 for the use of the page for one yeaf.''

That was terrible snub to Tillman sutely, the taking away of his invita-
 don to attend the dinner in honor of Prince Henry last evening. Tillman will probably feel that worse than if he had been expelled from the senate. And yet withal, they say Tillman is not a bad fellow, but those who know his failing take advantage of his weak ness to egg him on, and induce him to say things that he would not in his cooler moments. Some of the criticisms of Senator Spooner are not very favor- able to that gentleman for the part he played in the controversy. ''The. trous ble between the two senator's says the Hartford Times, twas directly and needlessly melted by Senator spooner of Wisconsin, who knew very well what he was about when he did 1t. He
