A member of the party which vis-
tied the building yesterday, said, in
conversation with a reporter: IA
morgue is what we have needed badly
for q long time. When patient dies
the matron is obliged, because of the
lack of a proper place for that purpose,
to make what disposition she can of
the body, pending the arrival of an
undertaken. Because there is no place
to keep the body, the matron must
almost Immediately send for an un-
dertaker to remove the corpse, with
ont having time in which to consult
the dead person family or relatives.
With vault or morgue. this difficulty
could be done away with. A morgue
is also really necessary in coroner's
cases, although we rarely have one of
them. The need of room in which
to receive patients has also been long
as 1t il extremely dangerous
to take new patient into q ward
with others until the exact nature of
the disease is known

buttons to the hospital fund to date:

Samuel ]. Mason, engineer Of the
Water Board, was instructed, at the
meeting of that body, last night, to
draw up specifications from the plans
drawn about two years ago for the
reservoir to be built on the site pur-
chased Iy the city on the Kinsey
farm. This Is to give the board an
idea of how,much twill costto build
During the discussion which took
place it was decided to try to get the
reservoir started before cold weather
sets in.
From engineers in a number of
cities it has been learned that 1t would
be advisable to dig out for the reser-
voir before the winter set in and
then let it remain until spring, when
the bottom would be In perfect condi-
tion. When the reservoir is built it
will contain, at the present consump-
tion of the water, ten days supply.
It will be situated on the highest
point possible in Perth Amboy so as
to give force in the maius.
The board is anxious for the,railroad
company to- build the siding at Run
yon SO that coal can be delivered more
readily. The company, it is under

siding.

Chicago, June 22-The IafoIlette

1t refused to do so on tie ground that
the committee on credentials was not
an unDrejudiced body and making the

entered into no particulars simply

of an approach and withdrew.
The Lafollette people were repre-

the contestants, and they opened and

HE'S ALL RIGHT.
COrteIyOu's RepubIicanism Appears to
Be Established.

Washington, June 22.-Secretary Cor
telyOu OF the depa rtnent of commerce
and labor left here for Chicago to at
tend the Republican national conyen-
ton. He will arrive in Chicago early
this evening. Advices received by Pres
1dent Roosevelt and others here from
the convention leaders indicate that
doubt of Secretary Cortelyou's selec-
ton as national chairman has been re-
moved entirely Such opposition as ex-
listed to Mr.. Cortelyou has been dissi-
pated and the belief in authoritative
quarters here is that he will be elected
unanimously by the new national com
m1ttee at its meeting subsequent to the
adjournment of the convention 1t is
pointed out that much of the opposi-
ton that existed was based on the
statement, made in various forms, that
he was at one time a Democrat and
that he is at heart a. free trader A
high official of the government who has
known Mr.. Cortelyou for many years
authorized statement concerning his
political record, which in fairness and
as a matter of record is here given:
secretary Geo. 3. Cortelyou's father
and grandfather were Republicans of
the staunchest kind. His grandfather,
Peter CrOlfus Cortelyou was an inti-
mat@ friend and associate of Horace
Greeley, Thurlow Weed and other great
leaders in the party's early history.
Both MS brothers are Republicans and
the members of his family have been
known as Republicans since the foun-
dalton of the party. All the teachings
of his earlier years were in that politi-
cal faith, and when he took up the
study of public questions on his own
account he became a firm believer in
Republican doctrines. His first vote
was cast for a Republican candidate,
and from that day to this he has Vo-
ted the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Cortelyou was one of the found
ers of the Young Mems Republican
club of Hampstead, N. Y He was an
active member of the Plurned knights,
and did hard and effective service in
the Blaine compaign. He was the sec
rotary of the Harrison managers at the
Minneapolis convention. Upon the adj
vent of the Democrat administration in
1885 he rendered his resignation and
left the federal service. Again in 1898,
upon the advent of Mr.. CIeveland's
second administration he rendered his
resignation and remained only at the
earnest request of his new superior.
He has gone regularly each year to his
home and voted for Republican candi-
dates and while he loyalty served a
Democrat president he accepted the
position then rendered him only after
frank statement of his political be-
liefs. He has been secretary to two
Republican presidents and has been a
cabinet officer in a Republican admin
istration. That is his record. 1t spea ks
for itself
