There is absolutely nothing new
or startling in Congressman Pat
terson's letter, says the Chattanoo-
ga News. What he says has been
said before by Republicans and
disgruntled Democrats. He seeks
to make live issue out of old
things-matters that have been
settled before the people in half
dozen contests. He is merely bonn
barding his own party with mud
battery that was invented and pat
ented by the Republicans His
finish is already in sight.

Calls Upon the Street and
Water Board to Furnish
Detailed Specifications for
Creation Of Playground on
Old Reservoir Site.
APPEAL NEEDED AT LAST
MONEY RAISED BY PUBLIC SUB
sCRIPTIoN MAY NOT BE USED
-KINKEAD TO GET NO CREDIT
IF POSSIBLE TO PREVENT IT.

The Board of Finance met yesterday
afternoon and passed the following reso-
lutions:-
Whereas, the Board of Street and
Wiater Commissioners has requested the
appropriation of money for the improve
ment of the old reservoir site at High
Service; and
Whereas, This Board desires to see
said site made available as a playground
for the youth of the Hudson City sec
tion and other parts of the city, be it
Resolved, That the said Board of
Street and Water Commissioners be and
is hereby requested to furnish at the ear
lest possible date, detailed and definite
plans and specifications for the creation
of playground on the site of the old
reservoir at High Service"
The Street and Water Board has been
trying for some time to get an appropria-
ton of $4,5o0 for the Improvement of the
site in question as play ground. The
Finance Board is Republican and the
Street and Water Board solidly Demo-
cratic The Finance Board was anxious
to keep down the tax rate and did not
care to insert the item in this years bud
get. 1t fell back on the plea that it
wanted to be sure how the money would
be expended. Eugene Kinkead, who has
for some time been advocating play and
recreation grounds for the young men of
the city, took up the cause in the inter-
ests of the youths of the Hudson City
section, along with a newspaper. The
paper raised a considerable amount of
money and this amount was greatly
swelled on appeal to the Democrats at
dinner on the Robert Davis Associations
outing. The appeal was made by Mr..
Kinkead. who had personally appeared
before the Finance Board and petitioned
for the money to convert the site into
real play ground and was not encouraged
by the treatment he received.
1t is not believed that the Finance
Board will allow the residents of the
Hudson City section to contribute per-
sonally to the Improvement of the site,
and it is certainly not likely that it will
allow the Davis Association or Mr..
Kinkead to get any credit if they can
help it.
The question arises, What is to be
done with the money raised by popular
subscription.

Member Of Italian Secret
Society Tried to Kill Him.
ASSA.LANT AT LARGE
POLICE BAFFLED By SECRECY
OF woULD-BE AssAssINs-
NEW YORK POLICE NOTIFIED.

At 4:05 this a. N. Police Sergeant
Booth, of the Second precinct, arrested
Dominick AIussolino. fifty years old, Of
No. 95 Morris street. He had cut on
the right side of the neck, which he said
he had received in the Gansevoort Mar
ket, New York, while paying a bill TO a
market man at 3 O'clock He said a man
ran up behind him and stabbed him in
the neck aud then ran away.
Mussolino figured last winter in the
"Blaek Hand" case in this city as COM
plainant. He at that time was conduct-
ing a-store in Newark. having removed
from Morris street this city. He has
evidently returned. At that time he
charged several Italians with having at
tempted to extort money from him and
claimed they were members of a BLACK

in Morris street. Mussolino's charges

in the disguise of an italian la aborer He
was assisted by Nussolino's son. an ex-
ceptionally bright Italian lad, who before
his father moved to Newark had fre-
quently been in and out of the headquar-
ters of the society, even when the society
was in session.
The police raided the place on Sun
day afternoon and arrested bakers
dozen of Italians. 1t looked as though
the police had made an important raid,
but reticense on the part of some of
the men arrested. contradictory asser-
tions on the part of others. and evident
fear on the part of some of the witnesses
finally led to the discharge Of the whole
bunch
Mussolino thinks the man whe stabbed
him in the Gansevoort Market this morn
ing is a member of the Black Hand So
ciety. When arrested by Sergeant
Booth he was on his way to DR.. Bizzi,
of No. 2S0 Fourth street. The New

win be sent over 20 New York as wit
ness in case the man who did the stab
bing is caught. Mussolinos description
of the man who did the stabbing is in
the hands of the New York police.

NO RECEIVER FOR ARcANUM

UTICA, N. Y, Sept. I, 19o5.-Re-
garding the action of Alpha Lodge Roy
al Arcanum, of Boston, in requesting the
chairman of the committee of fifteen to
take steps to place the order in the
hands of a receiver, Howard c. Virgins,
Of Rome, supreme regent of the Royal
Arcanum, said this afternoon that there
is no justification for any such applica-
ton.
No court in the land would listen TO
any application for receivership of any
corporation having 100000 in assets
and all liabilities paid.
There is no danger of any such action
being taken.
The law provides for receivers for cor
porations whose liabilities exceeds their
assets.

City Attorney Of Newark
Issues His Declaration of
Principles Many Planks
In Platform.
TAKES COLBYS THUNDER
PROPOSES ANTITRUST LAWS
AND FAvoRs ABoLIsHING TAX
ExEM.P EXCEPTING
CHURCH AND CHARITABLE
PROPERTY.

City Attorney Malcolm MacLear, of
Newark, who has accepted the Republi-
can nomination for State Senator from
Essex County, having been regarded as
the strongest man the regular party or
ganization could name in opposition to
the independent movement in favor of
Assemblyman Everett Colby, has issued
a statement in which he gives declara-
tion of principles on the same questions
put forth by Mr.. Colby in his fight.
The MacLear declaration goes further
in the direction of a radical reform of
the laws of taxation in New Jersey than
does that of Mr.. Colby. The MacLear
platform is as follows:7
1. believe that no unrestricted fran
chise should be granted to any person or
corporation using the public streets, roads
or highways of this State.
2. believe that all railroad property
should be taxed. as it now is, at local
rates and by local assessors, except the
main stem (not over 100 feet in width.
the personality to operate the same and
its franchises, which, in my opinion.
should be taxed by~the State. for the rea-
son that it seems that this is the only
feasible mode Of taxing the same; the
money so raised to be used for the pub
lie schools of this State.
8. ! believe that all franchises should
be taxed on their gross receipts for the
benefit of the local municipalities.
4. believe that the tax now paid to
the State by the insurance companies
should be returned to the municipalities
in which such companies have their main
offices. for the use of such municipalities.
5. AS there is in the city of Newark a
large amount of taxable property exempt
from taxation, / believe that all exemp-
tions should be abolished, excepting
church and charitable property.
6. believe that the voters of the state
of New Jersey should have the right,
through the county convention, or by
some other method, of declaring their
preference as to the choice of their re-
spective parties for the United States
senate.
I. favor the abolition of the Morris
canal upon such terms as will protect the
state. city and all private interests.
s. believe that the cleansing of the
Passaic river must be accomplished and
that this question is one of the most i'm
portant that will come before the next
legislature.
9. believe that the attorney general
of the state of New Jersey should have
the power (which the late decision Of
Vice Chancellor Stevens denies him) to
institute a suit. either for the state or
upon the relation of private person in
jured, to enjoin any combination or trust
which is detrimental to the public well
fare of the citizens Of this state.

MERELY Y
MENTIONED

Alexander Simpson has broken loose
again. Mr. Simpson is an advocate of
the nomination of John j Heavey for
Sheriff, not that he cares anything about
the popular Under Sheriff, but because
he sees in Mr.. Heayey's candidacy a
chance to air his grievances against the
Democratic organization which made him
an Assemblyman and kept him in the
position of Counsel of the Board of
Health for several years. Mr.. Simpson
was vampire on the party until he
was removed from his county job. Until
he forced himself to the front as one of
the managers of the Heavey boom the
Second Ward has been getting along
nicely in his aspirations for the Shriev-
atty nomination. Simpsons attack on
Robert Davis and the Democratic organ
ization at a Heavey meeting lost Mr.
Heavey many supporters. Realizing
that his support was doing more harm
than good the sincere friends of Mr.
Heayey relegated Mr.. Simpson to the
rear, where he remained until yesterday,
when he burst forth with another attack
on the man and the organization that
had befriended him in the past. No one
cares a rap what Mr.. Simpson says and
the only wonder is that Robert Davis
saw fit to notice it.

JohH j. deavey ana MS supporters
are getting ready to charge fraud and
intimidation as the reasons for his defeat
at the primaries next Tuesday. They
are saying that If the primaries are
honestly conducted Mr.. Heayey will be
declared the candidate of the Demo-
cratic party for Sheriff. sAll we want
is a fair show they declare. Out in
Newark Everett Colby, who is the can
didate for State Senator in opposition
to the Republican organization is nightly
impressing upon the voters that there
can be no wrong doing at the primaries.
The present law, he insists, gives an
independent candidate for a nomination
the same opportunity as the candidate
of party organization.
The primary laws apply to Hudson
County as well as Essex County, SO that
Mr.. Heavey is bound to have fair
show. What advantage has Mr.. Sey-
mour over Mr. Heayey so far as the
casting and counting of the votes are
concerned? Whatsdo they mean by a
fair show? Do they dispute the right
of the Democratic Committeeman who
favor Mr.. Seymour's nomination to work
in his interest and endeavor to get votes
for him by declaring him to be the
choice of the organization? If they do,
then of what use is party organization !?
Counsellor Charles Peshall was one
of the orators at meeting Of the Mark
NJ. Pagan Association Of the Tenth
Ward a few evenings ago. He said
some nice things about Mayor Fagan
and predicted that he would be the next
Rpublican candidate for Governor

PeshaA's remarks. To be Governor is

it will be the opening wedge for the
realization of his hopes. Once elected,
the Mayor will relegate Col Dickinson
to the rear as a factor in local politics
and make Mr.. Record the party leader
After that his campaign for the Guber-
material nomination will take shape.
When Col. Dickinson abandoned his
friends and laid down to Mayor Pagan
he sounded his own political death knell.
Alarmed by the progress of the move
ment started by Eugene Kinkead to es-
tablish playground on the site of the
abandoned reservoir by raising money

Street and Water Commissioners. Not
until Mr.. Kinkead had exposed the in
sincerity of the administration in regard
to the project did the Board of Finance
take action and Hudson City residents
who have been clamoring for the play
ground are not blind to the fact There
have been lot of politics in the propos-
ition and Mr.. Kinkead is being praised
for his efforts to bring the officials to a
sense Of their duty and forcing them to
stand by anti-election promises.
