PROPERTY ATTACHED HERE
ACCUMULATION OF NEW YORK
DEBTS PROVED TOO HEAyEY A
LOAD THOUGH THE PERFoR-
NANCE WAS FAIRLY GOOD.

The Great / am Company vaude-
vile organization that played at the
Academy of Music last week, was prac-
ticaliy marooned in this city. 1t was
a big venture. but there was not enough
money behind it. The property Of the
show was attached by the men in New
York who painted the scenery and der,
signed some of the costumes Of the chorf
US girls. This was only three weeks ago.
Max Meyers is the manager Of the
company. The company came into Jer-
sey City owing much money. so no re-.
Election possible can rest on the manage
ment of the academy of Music. 1t was
a good aggregation, so far as vaudeville
goes, aud Manager Henderson was only
interested in sandwicfing a :, vaudeville
attraction as matter Of diversion in a
long list of splendid melo-dramas. The
money wasn't Forthcoming to the stars.

comedian of the show. kicked. He and

also kicked and he left the company. The
parts of the stars were filled out by
understudies. but it didn't satisfy a Jer-
sey City audience. Fl
The play as originally produced was
fair. 1t required great deal of money
to finance it. Bad financiering killed it..
and it is not the fault of the actors and
actresses, and certainly no reflection on
the management of the Academy. This
is not the first time company coming
out of New York was marocned in Jer-
sey City. There are plenty of ferryboats
and it only costs three cents to get back
across the river But the women of the
aggregation were mad? all the way

There are some old-time theatre -goers
in this city who are not dead stuck on
the action of Frank Byron. the main
comedian of the show. His prominence
in a Bon Ton box after leaving the show
has met with unfavorable comment in
theatrical circles.

day. Sixteen thousand Providence base
ball fans Witnessed the contest, For
weeks past jersey City. Baltimore and
Providence had been running nip and
tuck for the first place. From three to
six points were all that were between
them. Early in the race it was noticed
by old baseball fans that Jersey City had
the best aggregation of players; that Bal
timore had the next. but it was noticed
that the Clamdiggers were playing steady
ball The Jersey City aggregation
swung around the bi. circuit and came
back with a string of scalps to its belt
that presaged the winning of the pen
nant. II came home only, to be beaten
time after time by the tail enders. Th.
local fans were disguised. Luck plays an
important part in baseball as well as in
business. The critical play that proba-
bly, lost Jersey City the pennant was
made by the third baseman. Burrell of
the Rochester team. who when Billy
Keister was beating it for hime, seeing
that he could not pick up the ball and
beat Keister home threw it outside the
foul line and Umpire Conway called it
foul. Neither team had made run up
to that point and the game was soon af-
terward called.

MERELY
MENTIONED

Col. Dickinson and Mayor Fagan have
had another clash. This time it looks as
II the fight might be to a finish There
win be slashing all around. The Dick
insonites will slash the Pagan city cam
didates and the Faganites will slash the
Dickinson county candidates. Evidently
John C. Kaiser had an inkling Of what
was coming when at the Pagan city con-
,-ention Thursday night he pleaded for a
fair show and asked that The knife be
not plunged into him TOO deep and too
often.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1905-09-25

Whether Col Dickinson acted wisely
in having himself and Aaron BALDWIN,
one of his most ardent supporters ap-
pointed members Of a committee with
Chairman Fry to take charge of the cam
,paign fund remains TO be seen. In max
ing this move the Colonel played into rhe
hands of George L. Record. 1t gave him
mn opening he had been anxiously wait
ing for. Reeord was pleased when Col.
Dickinson. before his departure for Eu-
rope, declared his opposition to Mayor
Fagan's denomination. When the Coll
enel withdrew his opposition the smile of
satisfaction disappeared from the face of
Mayor Fagan's Corporation Counsel. He
had been planning an anti-bossism fight.
and the Colone's sudden change of heart
upset his well-laid plans.

1t was against Records advice that
Mayor Pagan. on the Dickinson Asso-

Etieally telling the people he had conf

this better than Record who had been

Colonel Dickinson in taking the stand
he did, was looking out for the interes
Of John G. Kaiser. the candidate for
Sheriff, and the legislative ticket. He
knew that if the funds were controlled
by the friends Of the Mayor in the
County Committee that the money would
be used in his interests without regard
to the candidates on the county ticket.
Anyhow it Is a Republican family fight
and if the Democrats are benefited by it
the people will have no cause for COM
plant.

The people are TO be told that the
corporations fear Mayor Fagan more
than they do any man in the United
States; that they will spend fabulous
sltms of money TO defeat him. and that
he politicians ef his own party are
against the Mayor because they are con-
trolled by the corporations and must do
their bidding.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1905-09-25

An appeal for funds will be made and
the people will be told that Mayor Pagan
would rather go down to defeat than ac-
cept a penny Of corporation money in the
way Of a campaign contribution. There
is one tlring that Record always banks
on and that is that he is clever enough
to pull the wool over the eyes Of the

something that wout9 sive Mayor t'agap#
chance 10 break away from him When

that he would be hundreds of votes
stronger if it could be made to appear
that Dickinson was against him He
regretted, though that the Mayor had
shaken hands with the Colonel on the
outing, as this act, he feared, would han
dicap him in his anti-bossism crusade
Still there was a chance of the people
forgetting all about this incident, and the
anti-bossism campaign is to be waged
anyhow.
