Democrats Hope to Regain
Control Of the Third
Congressional Dis
trict.
JUDGE u. 7. HOFFHAh'S VIEWS,
Howell Will Be Opposed by
Geissenhainer and a Brisk
Fight Is on Hand.

Assemblyman William T. Hoffman, Of
Monmouth, was in town this morning,
and with few friends chatted about
politics in the Third Congressional Dis
trict. From his point of view, and tha
Judge is thoroughly au courant with the
doings of wicked Monmouth, the Fax
campaign bids fair to be a very lively
one so far as the Democrats are concerns
ed.
This Third Congressional District in
cludes the counties of AIiddlesex, Ocean
and Monmouth, with a population Of
1914, 767. At the last Gubernatorial elec-
tion in 1901, the total vote was "a, 713,
and the Republican plurality LOG. The
present Congressman from that District,
Benjamin f. Howell, of New Brunswick,
who was electedin 1900 by plurality
of 5,505, will be renominated and the
Republicans, according to the Judge, are
confident of his return.
PREDICTS 5000 MAJORITY.
81 figure that this time he will get a
plurality of $500 or 5000 at the very
least" said Judge Hoffman. and he
explained that Ocean would give Howell
1900; Middlesex, 500, and Monmouth,
from 500 to 1000 Judge Hoffman adj
mitted that there would be a stiff fight
against Howell because the Democrats
were making strong efforts to secure
former Congressman Jacob a. Geissen-
hainer, of Monmouth, one of the most
popular men in hte district. \ few of
the party, he said, were disposed to in
duce J. A. Harrison, of Lakewood. also a
strong man, to run, but the Democrats
generally want Geissenhainer, who rep
resented the district from 1891 to 1895.
DEMOCRATS UNITED.
1t is explained that Congressman How
ellis victory over Mr.. BergeR was be-
cause of disunion in the Democratic
ranks All difficulties have now been
adjusted and the Democrats of all three
counties are confident they can again
bring the third district into the Demo-
cratic fold.

and it has come to such pass that they
are afraid to oyenture out.

A lie, THAT'S ALL
Secretary Roberts Shows the
Falsity of the lob
servers" Attack on
the Architects.

The Hoboken .'Observer" yesterday in
dulged in a malignant fling at the State
Board of Architects, which was all the
more iniquitous because it was wholly
false. Among other things, it said that
it was openly claimed that the mem
bers of the Board were using their posi-
tions to satisfy private grudges against
other members of the profession and
were turning down rivals by refusing to
register them, thereby necessitating an
examination which the Board could make
as difficult and as full of catch questions
as it pleased. Among those whom the
.sObserver'' claimed had been refused
registration was John c. Lindsey, who
was recently appointed Tax Commas
sioner by Mayor Hoos. 1t also mentioned
the case of young man who was en-
ployed by an architect and applied for
a license. but was refused registration
by the Board because his employer was
opposed to his recognition by the Board.
Mr.. Hugh Roberts, secretary of the
Board of Architects, when shown The
story this morning, declared that was al
solutely false. In proof of this he pro
dueed the records of the Board, which
showed that certificate No. 36S had been
issued to James c. Lindsey, and that
the Board had considered Mr.. Lindsey's
apliicafion and had duly registered him.
AS 10 the young office boy, whose ap-
pIication had been refused, Mr.. Roberts
said that his case had been referred to
Cnrbin 6. Corbin, counsel to the Board,
aud those gentlemen had given it as sheir
opinion that under the law creating the
Board and defining its power, the Board
conId not register the young mau.
From prominent builder Of this city
it was learned that the Board was giving
general satisfaction to architects and
builders throughout the State. He said
he had not heard a single complaint
against the Board and its work express
ed either publicly or in private. 1t was
evident that the members We're going
about their duties in a conservative
manner and an earnest intention to do
the best thing possible for the architects
and the general public. They have thus
far proceeded carefully and intelligentiy
and are rapidly demonstrating the Wis
dom of the legislation which called them
into being.

Although County Physician Converse
yesterday issued n certificate giving the
cause of Frederick B. Rounds death as
suicide, Mrs Lydia A. Belts. with whom
Rounds lived at No. 255 Eleventh
street, Hoboken, has been under police
surveillance since the shooting. Mrs
Belts packed a grip and started for New
York at 11:30 O'clock last night. She
was followed by Constable Farrell, who
stopped her as she was about to pass
through the gates Of the Fourteenth
street ferry entrance. Farrell told her
that if she attempted to cross the ferry
he would place her under arrest Mrs.
Belts thereupon returned to saloon
kept by Henry Papenhousen, at Elev-
enth street and Park avenue, block
from her home. She left her grip at the
saloon while she called upon a woman
in the neighborhood, whom she induced
to go around to the Eleventh. street
house and stay with her for the night
Mrs. Belts said she did not like to sleep
in the house alone.
Who had instructed Constable Farrell
to keep Mrs. Belts within the city c3uld
not be ascertained this morning. The Ho-
bCken police say they have no desire to

rel. could not be seen. 1t was said that
Ike wight have been acting under instruc-
tions Of Coroner Parslow, but the latter
is cut of town on his vacation. ,ionn
ScEeffler. the eoroner's assistant, said
he knew nothing of Farrelrs connection
With the case.
This morning, however, Mrs. Belts
was not under surveillance. She left
for New DIRK at nine o'clock, after in
forming Detective .Kerrigan that she
would return about two o'clock this af-
ternoon.
Detective Kerrigan says that the wo-
man told him she had no desire to leave
the city until the rumors connected with
Rounds death had been sifted to the
bottom.
The police received a statement this
morning from c. D. Bland. of No. 1.123

and saw the suicides body. He stated
that Rounds was lying on his back with
Il small 22-calibre revolver by his side.

The BUILDING TRADES.
Proposition for An Inter-Coun-
ty Arrangement With Essex
Public Work.

A joint committee of the United Build
ing Trades Council of Hudson County
and of the Essex County Building
Trades League was held in Newark last
evening, principally to discuss the matter
of recognizing workmen in other jurisdic-
tions who belong to one of the two local
bodies, but are not affiliated with any
national union. In both counties there
are number of trades unions that be-
long to their respective county bodies but
are not affiliated with national body.
A resolution embodying the PROPOSE
ton was submitted, and after considera-
BILE discussion was left over for consid-
Grafton at another meeting of the joint
committees to be held in Hudson Coun-
ty, subject to the call of the chair. 1t
read:-
That we agree to recognize any
member of the different trades IN
each others respective localities.
provided that they carry the Nation
al Building Trades Council card
spirit covering the jurisdiction in
which they may be working: and
we further recommend that any
member of the different allied trades
working in each others jurisdic-
ton shall be subjected to the orders
of the agent of the respective trades
having authority in that jurisdiction,
subject to the orders of the central
bodies.
It was also the sense of the meeting
that the trades unions of the county
bodies should cooperate in seeing that
laws in the interest of organized labor
governing the giving out of contracts for
public improvements by municipal au
thorities should be enforced and nj secur
ing other legislation favorable to organ
lied labor.
The members of the Hudson County
delegation were:-John r. Westlake,
James e. Gallagher, William Shindel,
Thomas Brady and William J. Gal
lagher. Thomas Robinson of Essex pre-
sided.

Italian Battered and Arres-
ted and Firemen Given
a Run for Fun.
YOUNG SCOUNDREL ESCAPES
His Club, Ciriliglia's Spine and
a Cobble Stone the Factors
in the Comedy.
YOUNG SCOUNDREL ESCAPES.

Luigi Ciriliglia, ffty-two years old, an
Italian pushcart ice cream peddler living
| at No. 131 Steuben street, was walking
along Greene street at half-past i've
o'clock this morning on his way to the
Morgan street dock to buy his daily sup
ply of ice when small boy, armed with
big club, sneaked up behind him, struck
him powerful blow between the shoul-
der blades and ran away.
The Italian dropped the handles of his
pushcart, swore in his native tongue, and
started afterthe boy. He wasn't much
of a sprinter and the boy took adyan-
| tage of that fact by turning around every
| few feet and making grimaces at his
pursuer The Italian, who was boiling
over with Indignation, picked up a cob
BILE stone in the middle of the street at
the corner of sSteuben and Greene stree $,
and threw it with all his might at the
| fleeing boy. The stone didn't reach the
| intended target. 1t whizzed uncomforta-
bly, near the youngster, and struck with
a resounding bang against the door OF
fire alarm box No. 113.
SURPRISE PARTY.
Then the push cart man stopped to
catch his breath, and minute later he
lost it again in the excitement attending
| the arrival of half dozen companies of
| the Fire Department.
The engines and trucks ratified down
Steuben street with gongs banging, foi-
| lowed by several hundred early morning
risers.
The Italian forgot about the boy while
watching the chase of the firemen and
wondered where the fire was located. So
did the firemen. They asked many peo-
pie if they had seen smoke anywhere,
but the only smoke in evidence curled
out of the chimneys Of factories in the
neighborhood.
1NyESTIGAT1
Assistant Chief Lowell took in the situ-
alton Immediately when he examined the
fire alarm box and discovered that the
door had been soundly thumped by some
thing.
John Dillon, fourteen years old, of No.
1J3 Raiiroad avenue. who witnessed the
chase of the boy and the course taken
by the cobble stone as it banged against
the box, told Mr.. Lowell all about the
| incident.
The assistant chief was inclined to
lose his temper at the first. Then he
laughed loud and long.
He explained to the police that the
striking of the stone against the box
caused an alarm to be sent in
Ciriliglia, who was standing on the
sidewalk watching the fremen and won
dering what all the commotion was about
was pointed out by young Dillon and
placed under arrest. As he was led away
by Acting Patrolman Rodgers, the small
boy who was the cause Of all the trouble
edged up near the italian and grinned.
| Then he scooted back into the crowd and
disappeared
Justice Hoos convicted the Italian In
the First Criminal Court on a disorderly
person charge. He considered that the
ice cream peddler was more sinned
against than shining and suspended sem
