England by offering an amendment
providing for the fertilization of the
canal by the United States. Although
eloquently supported, it was lost. Hep
burn was opposed to 1T, and that set
tied it. The browning triumph came
when the bill was passed exactly as
Hepburn reported it, verbatim ct liter
atm ct punctuatim.
Another Texan also awoke the echoes
of the chamber. He was Dudley G..
Wooten, elected to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Robert Emmett
Burke. He proved a worthy successor.
Deliberate in manner and classic in
oratory, he made an excellent impress
sion. Yet he lacked the fire character
izing the effort of Burgess. Wooten has
literary reputation, having written a
history of Texas and being a contribu-
tor to the leading magazines. The two
men are twin stars in the galaxy of
Texas craftsmanship. Wooten viii un-
doubtedly be returned to the House.
while Burgess may be forced to fight
for denomination. Under the new
apportionment his district became
jumbled with that represented by Ru-
dolph Kleburg, a law partner of Will
liam F. Grain, whose brilliant career
in Congress was cut short by an I'M
timely death.
Another strenuous statesman from
Illinois came to grief soon after the
passage of the canal bill. He was the
veteran Albert ]. Hopkins, chairman
of the Select Committee on the Cen
sus. A bill providing for a perma-
nent census bureau came before the
House. At first it had plain sailing,
but it finally gave rise to a furicGs
discussion. There We're preliminary
flashes of lightning, and then the storm
broke in all its fury. 1t gathered force
in an unexpected quarter. Elmer E.
Burkett, plain country lawyer from
the home town of william J. Bryan,
led the assault. Although not a mem
Der OF the committee, he had caro-
fully studied the measure in all ;ts
bearings, and evidently spoke by the
card. He dissected 1t so thoroughly
that he concentrated and consolidated
the opposition. Two years had he
sat in the House without attracting
more than ordinary attention There
was nothing fiamboyant about him.
Fortified with facts and figures he ar
rayed them regimentally, and pressed
them home after the manner of sam
uel ]. Randall. The House was sur
prised. Men who were prepared to
support Hopkins at the beginning Of
the fight began to hesitate. The ar
raignment was so terse and effective
that it drew the attention of the guer-
rillas of the House, and led to a pred
atory warfare. They hung on to the
TANKS of the veteran from Illinois, and
overwhelmed him with questions. He
answered all inquiries without hesi-
tation, but was at last driven to bay.
1t was when the civil service bugaboo
was thrown into the scales. AS usual,
in all cases where civil service reform
Is an issue, it Intensified the fight. Mr..
Crumpacker of Indiana, crossed blades
with Mr.. Bartlett of Georgia, and Mr..
Maddox of Rome came to the support
of Mr.. Burkett. He denounced the
effort to retain by law certain pets in
office who for five years or more would
hi g nothing to do but to sit down
and cogitate over the next census. II

John LOTUS of Elizabeth went violent

thirty-three years old, was recently dis
charged from the Morris Plains Asylum.
On Saturday afternoon he attempted to
break into an empty house at the Boule-
yard and Sixty-sixth street. A neighbor
saw him at work and summoned the po-
lice by telephone. Three officers respond
ed, and after struggle landed him in the
station house. He then said he lived at

making an impression on the door when

door to his cell and raising his weapon
threatened to brain him.
Patrick Walsh, Richard Donnelly and

infuriated man were useless. Whenever
they attempted to enter the cell he
struck at them yiciously, and it was all

INHUMAN FATHER

Those who were in the First Criminal
Court room this morning shortly after
after noon were shocked to see what at
first appeared to be most pitiful case of
destitution of whole family, but after
wards turned out to be sad case of
criminal neglect to properly provide for
his children ON the part of Christian
Hansen, of No. Railroad avenue.
Miss Dal of the State Board. of Guar
dians. and Poormaster Hewitt, were the
complainants in the case against Hansen
and Katherine Rafferty,, who has living
with him as his wife. When the pair
came into court Mrs. Rafferty, carried her
ten-months-oldt baby in her arms, while
Hansen led a pretty little boy, judging
from what could be seen through the dirt
and CRIME in which he was clothed. The
little fellow was but two years old, and
Notwithstanding the cold weather had no
shoes or stockings or hat on. A little
girl seven years old followed the group.
She had no hat on and had as wrap an
old piece of dirty cloth thrown around
her shoulders. The last two children
were those of Hansen. Mrs. Rafferty,
has four other children in various institu-

Report That He Will Not Be

Him Smile.

"Mayor LanKering is in perfect accord
with the Democratic party here" said
Leader Maurice Stack in Hoboken today,
s'and he will certainly be asked to accept
denomination in November. The talk
about Freeholder Kuper launching a
Mayoralty boom in Hoboken is fulsome
twaddle. Neither Mr.. Kuper nor any
of the prominent party men here have
thought of such thing"
Mayor Lankering professed to be
amused over the talk that he will have
to walk the plank.
This rumor emanating from the Court
House surprises me-" he said. Il have
understood all along that was to re-
ceive a second term as Mayor and didn't
know that T had any Democratic rivals
for the nomination,
7 feel confident that Freeholder Kuper
is not in the race against me. Some time
ago asked him to become Police Com
missioner and he promised to accept the
appointment His name will be handed
in the first Of January"
Mayor Lankering would not tell the
name of the other Police Commissioner
to be selected but it is generally under
stood that it is to be Boulevard Super
insendent Michael Coyle. Leader Stack
practically admitted that the vacancies
in the Board would be filed by these
men. Both are among the most promi-
nent Democrats in the city, and Mayor
Lankering and the Common Council. it
is stated have ended their old differ
ences and agreed on appointing them.

When "Joe's" property deal became
known to the "cops" at Police Head

truth, began to circulate yarn to the
effect that Joe's wealth was fabulous.

Mrs. Newton R. Marvin, of No. 56
Kensington avenue, reported to the Sew
enth precinct police this morning. that
she had been buncoed out of nine dollars
by two youthful icon" men yesterday
afternoon.
She had employed two twelve-year-old
boys to nail "For Sale" sign on post
in a vacant lot at Kensington and West

Approaches.
STRONG RESOLUTIONS PASSED

The Merchants Protective Association
of Hudson County last night put its foot
down hard on the mooted proposition to
take from Little Italy its park in the eff
fort to secure the Harrison estate as a
High School site. The proposition was
opposed by a majority of the members
present at last nights meeting. The
subject was brought up by Mr.. James
Banks in the form of motion to the ef
feet that the secretary of the organiza-
tion in its name communicate with May
or Pagan and the Street and Water
Board protesting against the proposed
transfer of this or any other property for
a High School site or othed park pur-
poses.
Messrs. Waldron, Howeth and Banks
were among the most vigorous opponents
of the proposed transfer. Mr.. Banks
enough for parks and find it difficult to
secure land for such purpose at double
its price. ''The High School we must
and will have" he said, without taking
anything from the privileges already OBJ
tanned. If we can't get the Harrison
estate for High School site in any
other manner let us institute condemna-
tion proceedinfs."
FAvORS. THE JOB
The New York Central Railroad owns
the Harrison estate. 1t offers the city
portion of the estate for High School
site for SS5, 900. 1t is willing to ex-
change the whole of the estate for Little
Italy's Park which it would like to con-
vert into railroad yard Mr.. Banks
advocated the purchase Of the plot Of
fered for. $S5, 600 and the subsequent ac-
quirement Of the balance for park pur-
poses. The subject was discussed pro
and con, but the motion of Mr.. Banks
went through with bells on.
BOARD OF TRADE PLEA.
A personal letter was received from
President DAILY of the Board of Trade
| urging the association as body to be-
come members of the Board of Trade. A
discussion of the proposition followed,
but no. definite action was taken. The
members present were favorably disposed
toward the proposition as move that
would undoubtedly benefit the Merchants
Association. The benefits were set forth
| by Messrs. Beach, Hoersch and Banks.
It was decided, however, to defer final
action OIL the proposition until after the
next election of officers.
The communication was referred to the
executive committee who, it is said, will
report favorab1y at the next meeting.
There are those who believe the associa-
/ ton should pay but one initiation and be
/ entitled to but one vote in the Board of
/ Trade. The association has about three
hundred members. It is likely that this
| idea will be followed out. A number of
the members are already members of the
Board of Trade. These, of course, will
be entitled to cast their regular vote in
Board of Trade matters.
