Mayor Mark M. Fagan's appointive
Street and Water Board. which had been
in power In jersey City since March 81,
retired at 1920 o'clock yesterday afternoon
in favor Of the elective Democratic board,
which was restored to Office by a decision
of the Court Of Errors and Appeals on Fri
day. The Democrats formally met and
adjourned until 2 O'Clock this afternoon
when the Commissioners will start the work
of chopping OF the heads Of the Republi
can appointees- The ma ority OF the Demo
Gratis who lost their jobs last spring ex-
pect to be reinstated.
The outgoing board planned to hold a
meeting yesterday morning and pass some
claims which II was feared the incoming
board wouldn't pay. The ex-Commission-
ers got together In the Street and Water
Board Office and signed committee reports,
as was their custom before going into
regular session.
. At 10 o'clock the Democratic board,
headed by its counsel, walked In and made
a formal demand for the Offices. A certi-
fed copy Of the Judgment Of the court
was served. Corporation Counsel George
l.. Record said that under the law the Re-
publican board would have TO keep on
exercising authority until Sept. 10, or ten
days after the decision OF the Court OF
Errors and Appeals had been fled. The
lawyers on both sides had two hours
talk In an inner office and the Democratic
board won out.
Al the conclusion of the conference the

they were sent to the Secretary OF the
Treasury, they had been cut to 500, 900, 600.
The executive order not to make public
the estimates submitted to the Secretary
contained nothing new 90 far as the Navy
Department, at least, was concerned On
July s last, nearly two months before the
Presidents order was issued, a letter sent
to each bureau chief, directing him to pre-
pare estimates, contained this statement: |
All estimates will be considered con-
fldential until revised or approved by the
Department
Exactly the Same admonition was given
to bureau chiefs last year, ard 1908 was
not campaign year. Similar directions
were issued also IN 1902 and 1901; In fact,
ever since the Navy Department, when
Mr.. Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary,
withheld for purely business reasons the
estimates Of bureau chiefs until they could
be revised by the Department proper.

NOT TO SUPPRESS ESTIMATES.

Bureau Chiefs, which Are Not Final.

Presidents Order Refers 10 ESumnte9 OF
Bureau Chiefs. which Are Not Final.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE effort to
show that President Roosevelt was attempt
ing for political reasons to suppress the
estimate OF appropriations for the next
fiscal year Is based on one solitary fact
that an Executive order has been issued
directing that these estimates shall not
be made public until further notice. The
intention and effect OF the order have been
misconstrued and misrepresented. A very
good reason for this policy exists, and 1t lie
worthy OF note that there is nothing new in
II. and II cannot therefore be rightly CON-
strued as having been put into effect for
campaign purposes.
A a matter Of fact, Mr.. Roosevelt's order
ia merely general application OF similar
action taken in the Navy Department when
he was Assistant Secretary Of the Navy.
It should be stated also that the new order
is not, as construed here intended to apply
to the estimates as finally approved by
the heads Of the Departments for submits
sion to the Secretary OF the Treasury, but
merely to estimates submitted by bureau
chiefs and other subordinates, which are
always higher than the final estimates and
do not correctly represent the amount OF
expenditures desired by each Department
The order applies only to the estimates
submitted by bureau chiefs and other
subordinates. These estimates do not
correctly represent the amounts finally
submitted to Congress and their publica-
ton has always been a source OF embarrass-
ment TO heads Of Departments. for the
reason that persons interested In certain
public projects invariably lombard the
Department affected with protests and
opportunities. II the items In which they
are concerned do not appear in the list OF
estimates printed in the newspapers.
1t has been customary for some subordi-
mates in the Navy Department to make
public their estimates before the Secretary
had the opportunity Of passing upon them.
1t gave a false impression to the country
as To the cost OF the navy. as almost in
variably the amounts asked for were ma
terially reduced by the Secretary. Last
year, for example, the bureau OF yards
and docks submitted estimates aggregat-
ing t77 ,6O4 ,so2. Mr.. Moody, then Secretary
OF the Navy, cut these SIS, as Oh. or nearly

FAIRBANKS TO BUSINESS MEN.
CITES z YEARS OF GOOD GOVERN
MENT AS A GUIDE HOW TO VOTE.

Told He'll Hear From New York With
No Uncertain voice-"Im Sure Of It,"
He Says-Throngs Eager 70 Hear the
senator Smash His Platform Railing.
Senator Charles W. Fairbanks. the Re
publican candidate for VioePresident,
made two speeches here yesterday. One
was at the MONDAY meeting Of the Roose-
welt and Fairbanks Commercial Travellers
League, at 500 Broadway, and the other
at the midday meeting OF the Commercial
Travellers Republican Democratic League
OF America, at sol Broadway. At both
meetings he was met with the greatest
enthusiasm
So many people sought to obtain adj
mittanoe to the meetings to hear the Sena-
tor speak that the crowds who could not
find room inside stretched half way across
Broadway. In each instance, to fight his
way to the platform, Senator Fairbanks
had to be assisted by policemen, and they
had the greatest difficulty In making
way for him. At sol Broadway the stout
railing which had been built around the
platform was carried away by the pres
sure Of the crowd.
The Senator's speeches were short and
somewhat informal, but the applause
which halted almost every sentence went
to prove that there Is plenty OF interest
in this city in the campaign.
At the first meeting Senator Fairbanke
urged his hearers to work as they had
done in the last two Presidential campaigns
for Republican success because good gov
eminent was always source OF good times.
I'VE stand for Republican policies, he
said, because Republican policies stand
for us. We stand for the economic features
OF our governmental life because they
have brought and are bringing sa4se s frnm
