PROBING
The LISTS
Republican Padding Of the
Registry Records Puts
Chief Murphy on
the Alert.
AFTEs THE LODGING HOUSES
Every Doubtful Case Will
Be Investigated. So That
Illegal Voting Will Be
Impossible.

The police throughout the city today
are verifying the registry lists under the
personal direction of Chief Murphy. The
investigation is very careful, and any
doubtful case will receive immediate at
tention. Democrats and Republicans
alike will be requested to send their lists
of all suspected names to the Chief.
Particular attention will be paid to the
various lodging houses, and other hotels
and boarding houses.
In the case of the lodging houses, Chief
Murphy has introduced a new way of
finding out who are the really steady pat
rons, and if they are entitled to vote. 1t
has been arranged that squad of police
men shall visit each of these places some
time this week for the purpose of locat-
ing the men really entitled to vote and
discovering those who are not. The po-
lice viii select an early hour in the morn
\
ing when all the inmates are sleeping.
Each will be awakened and asked how
long he has lived in this country, if he
is resident of the State, County, or city
and what his pedigree is.
This morning at 8 o'clock fifty men
from Weinberg's. Detective Agency Of
New York City came over to this city,
and they are covering all the ferries and
railroad stations leading into Jersey City,
Hoboken. Bayonne, and North Hudson,
on the outlook for suspected men coming
into this county for the purpose Of fake
registration or repeating. These "Detec-
tives'' are in the employ of the Repub-
1ican County Committee, They were en-
ployed so it was said last evening, after
it was discovered that there was fake
registration in the Ninth Ward, where
only few days ago, three colored Re-
publicans and a colored colonizer were
arrested for false registration, and later
held for the grand jury by Judge Man
ming.
''The hiring of these "Detectives'' said
well-known politician today is no doubt
for the purpose of keeping all the men
the Republicans brought to this city a
short time ago. They do not want them
to get frightened and go away as they
hope to make good use of them on cleo
ton day. 1t is grand bluff that the
Detectives" are hired to keep men from
entering the county for false registration
and repeating. If these Detectives"
were really hired by the. Republicans for
the purpose they say L would like to
wager that each one of them was told to
see nothing"

IN MORRISTOWN
Lyoeum Hall Packed to
Hear Mr.. Black Explain
Equal Taxation.
Special to sThe Jersey city News.')

Especial to ''The Jersey City News.'D
MORRISTOWN, Oct. %, 1904,
Lyceum Hall was packed to the doors
last night with Democrats and many Re
publicans, who cheered and applauded
every. sentence of Charles G. Black that
referred to equal taxation.
Though no parade had been planned,
the band and Mr.. Blacks carriage were
followed from the Mansion House to
Lyceum Hall by fully 700 people and the
streets were illuminated with red fire and
fireworks that indicated that the people
of Morristown are widely awake to the
situation that confronts them. The
meeting was presided over by the Hon.
W. w. Cutler and the speakers We're
Messrs. Black, Condict Lindabury and
Smith.
Mr. Black, in touching upon the local
situation. stated that the issue was a
moral question and appeals to the morals
and consciences of the people of New
Jersey.
mo one," he said, ''can doubt the
result of this campaign which will make
the people of the State east their ballots
on November 8 for the Democratic nomi-
nees, for the people of New Jersey We're
not known to be appealed to in vain
where the cause of justice was con-
cerned.
In Morris County you have 127 miles
of railroad, valued at $6,000,000, from
which the county receives $500, but un-
der the Democratic idea the county
would receive $4,000. The Republicans
have circulated through the New York
Tribune" statement that the railroad
property was valued at $16000,000 and
paid $4,000, when in reality you only
paid $4,000.
Taking the assessed valuation Of
every bit of farm and timber land
throughout the county it figures that un-
der the Democratic plan the railroads
would not pay as much sas now.
ANY one who can read can see that
these figures are absurd and cannot mis-
lead any one who knows that the rail-
road property is the most valuable in
the county,
In 1925, Mr.. Black stated, his grand
father was chairman of the first railroad,
but these Industries have grown since
then until now they are the most pros
porous in the State
Mr.. Black appealed to the voters to
help elect Parker and Davis, and both
names were greeted with tremendous APP
splause.
At the Madison meeting in James Hall
Mayor James p. Albright presided, and
the speakers were Messrs. Black, Me-
Murrough and MARITIME. a big street
parade preceded the meeting, at which
the name of Charles c. Black was re-
ceived with great applause. The home
town of Republican County Chairman
.AdcGraw showed that it was in favor of
the platform of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Condict declared that he was
brought up a Republican and he would |
vote for Roosevelt this fall, but that for
Governor his choice would be Charles G.
Black.
No candidate ever received such a gen
eraus reception as was accorded Charles
G. Black, the Democratic candidate for

BLACK DEFINES
EQUAL TAXATION

eiple.

Righting Them.
sTOKESS FALLAcIBS

Charles q. Black. the Democratic
Gubernatorial nominee, has sent to the
Nomination Committee the Letter of Ac-
ceptanee which he promised when he
verbally took the nomination. As a
declaration of principle. and clear ex-
position of equal taxation, of which he
is the acknowledged champion, this doc
ument satisfies every expectation of Mr.
Black7s supporters and those who look
for light on the great question involved
III the coming election.
j To the Honorable John, r. Hardin.
Chairman, and Gentlemen of the Nom
ination Committee
In accepting the nomination of the
Democratic party of New Jersey for the
office of Governor, expressed my ap-
proYal of the platform adopted by the
Convention, and gave an unqualified
pledge that, if elected, would endeavor
to bring about the much needed reforms
$
in the imposition and expenditure of
taxes. The lines are now distinctly
drawn between the two great parties.
On the question of equal taxation, my
distinguished opponent, the nominee of
tlses Republican party. leaves not the
Slightest doubtsof his true attitude He.
is opposed TO the taxation of the ''main
stens' of the railroads of New Jersey
for the bensfitNof the municipalities, and
Is in favor Of restricting the tax on that
class Of property. for all purposes. to
fye dollars per annum on each thousand
dei!ars Of valuation.
III his speeches he has said that the
question is not ripe for decision This
being his attitude, it is quite clear that
he is entitled to be placed as assuming
the negative. for he has had most ample
time and opportunity for Investigation
and conclusion. The records of the State
show that my opponent was member
Of the House of Assembly in 1891 and
1892. He was a member of the State
Senate for nine years. In that body. in
1894. he was chairman of the Committee
on Railroads and Canals: in 1895 he was
president Of the Senate; in 1896 and
1897 he was chairman of the Committee
on Corporations and member of the
Committee on Finance; in. 1898 and 1899
he, was chairman of the Committee on
Corporations and member of the Com
mittee on Appropriations; in 1900 and
1901 he was chairman of both the Com
mittee on Corporations and the Com
mittee on Appropriations.
In all these legislative positions he was
called upon TO consider questions of taxa
tion. He has also had experience in the
way of practical railroad management
that must have added to his information
upon the question of the taxation of rail
road property.
In 1901 he was elected a Director Of
the West Jersey and seashore Railroad
Company, a most valuable and extensive

Very truly yours,
GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN

The great depot to be erected in the
city of New York by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company will be taxed at the
same rate that is imposed upon the
Broadway store and the. East Side tene-
ment house. The great depot of this
company in jersey City has never con
tributed dollar to the local government
Of that city or to the-expeA Ases Of Hudson
County. Can any reason for exemption
from taxation be found in relation of rail
road property to the State? Tho, State
of New Jersey, ba the accident of ge-
ography, is the focal point of transcon-
tinental traffic.
Although one of the smallest States,
teTritorially, in the Union, New Jersey
has become the scene of a vast railway
business, out of all proportion to her size.
This is only to say that our State, by
reason of her location, has become the
servant of all the other States. To the
accommodation of this traffic we have
surrendered our most valuable land, our
most valuable water fronts and the best
geographical positions in our State.
Surely there should not be added to
these freely given advantages the right
of exemption from the burdens of gov
ernment. The only true and honest rule
Of taxation is clearly stated in Mayor
Mcclellan letter, and te-=athose who
would cloud this issue by vague allu-
sions to the Constitution, and chatter
about grave difficulties in methods of
assessment, / answer:-"We propose to
tax all railroad property in New Jersey
on the same basis that railroad property
is taxed in, the City of New York" We
propose that equal and exact justice shall
be done to all
The cost of our State Government has
grown in the last ten years at most de-
plorable rate, unjustifed by growth of
population or the necessities of our State
institutions.
The figures are well presented by the
platform of the convention you repre-
sent. believe that the cost of our
State Government can be greatly re-
duced, and shall consider the ratifca-
ton of the work of your convention by
the people to be command that useless
offices shall be abolished and economy
enforced in every department of our
State Government.

PLAN To SELL MONITORS.
Historic Relics Will Be Disposed OF
as Old Junk.

Philadelphia, Jan. 27.-This week will
witness the end of the historic cheese
box monitors, Nahant. Jason, Canont-
Gus, Lehigh, and Montauk, among the
last of the old navy and the first Of the
iron hull vessels 10 be built by the gov
eminent. The navy department decided
a few days ago that the old craft cost
more to be kept on the naval list than
they were worth, and Secretary Moody
ordered them sold for old junk.
The sale of the monitors will take
place at League island, where they have
been anchored in the back channel since
they outlived their usefulness For
many years the ironclads have been one
of the main attractions to visitors to
League island.
One of the officers attached to the
navy yard said: Il don't favor the
selling of the old vessels, and think The
government should distribute them to
the various navy yards. where they
could be put on view. They are relics
of one of the greatest conflicts ever
fought. The history made by them will
forever live, and for this reason I think
it a shame that the old vessels will be
taken apart and sold for junk
The Lenigh and Canonicus were the
first of nineteen monitors to be built by
the government. The Monitor of Civil
war fame was the first iron hull war
vessel owned by the United States gov
eminent She proved so successful in
the famous battle with the Confederate
ship Merrimac that congress ordered
built with all possible haste ten vessels
of the Lehigh type and nine of the
CanOnicuS type.

Block Light Company.

The Block Light company of Ne
braska occupies a booth opposite the
cream separator people with an exhibit
of burners and lights of an improved
construction calculated to save gas con-
sumerS a vast amount Of the expense
of illumination by other methods. The
combination of the Block burners and
the Block mantles secures a perfect
white light of remarkable brilliancy and
softness. The Block mantle resembles
others mantles but gives about four
times the light. In construction it is
much heavier. and in wearing power far
surpasses other makes. The claim of
the Block people is that a single light
equals the power of 10 sixteen candle
power incandescent bulbs or ten gas
jets. The Block light people also have
an arc gas light of 1000 candle power
which offers one of the most economical
sources for light in stores and large
halls. The local representative of the
company, Mr.. f. r. MCNEIL of the Ma
tional Heating company at GIT Kansas
