SECRETARY TAFT AND PARTY
START ON HOMEWARD JOURNEY

Washington, Sept. 6-The bureau OF In
sular affairs today received a cablegram
from Col Edwards, dated at Hong Kong,
as follows:
"All well. Sail today at noon for Annoy.
China. Gable Is broken"
This is taken to mean that Secretary
Taft has started on his homeward journey
on the steamer Corea- 1t was not origi-
nelly intended TO stop at Annoy after
leaving Hong Kong. Hence 1t is inferred
that the secretary thinks he can do some
thing TO relieve the situation there grow
ing out OF the boycott by a personal visit.

TRENTON, Oct. 1, 19o5.-One of the
announcements of Governors Day at the
State House yesterday was that the
franchise commission appointed BY Gov
ernor Stokes should rest on its oars and
hold no public meetings until after eiec-
ton While no reason was assigned tor
this decision it is plain that the sweep
of the cause of limited franchises through
the State is worrying the G. O. P. lead
ers ,and they desire to fasten the lid
down as much as possible and hush the
whole thing up until the votes are count
ed November {.
The commission was appointed under
authority Of the last Legislature to in
vestigate the whole subject Of the grant
of franchises by municipalities 10 public

The act providing for the commission
was Republican back-down compromise
measure to block the demand cf Assem-
blyman Colby. now leading the limited
franchise fight in Essex County, for the
passage of a law limiting franchises in
this state to 25 years.
Since its organization some weeks ago
the commission has been busy. so a mem-

information as to the manner in which
the granting Of franchises and the taxing

States he has not visited since his ac-
cession to the Presidency From New

Street & Water Poard Begins
Specializing on Receipt Of
Bids for the Fairmonnt
Avenue Sewer.
GARBAGE QUESTION AGAIN
THE JERSEY CITY woMAN's
CLUB WANTS IT REMOVED
THREE TIMES A WEEK AND
IT'S REQUEST WILL BE CoNs1D-
Erred.

The Street and Water Board yester-
day awarded TO J. H & R. Shannon the
contract for the completion of the Fair
mount avenue sewer through Boland
street. There were two other bidders,
]. H. & r. Shannon's bid was 103 per
cent of the standard cost of material
and labor. The Phillip OReilly Com
pany bid 125 per cent. of the standard
cost and Charles Ormsby bid 10 per
cent, of standard cost The difference
in the bids was such as to open, the eyes
of the Commissioners and the question
was mooted as to whether there is
ring of contractors who bid on publ1
works with an understanding as to the
figures their competitors are bidding.
The contract was awarded j. H. & K.
Shannon. the lowest bidders.
The Board transacted considerable
routine business of interest.
1t was decided to improve Oxford
avenue, but a suggestion was made by
Wisconsin Jackson and others that the
name of the thoroughfare be changed
from Oxford avenue to Clinton avenue.
1t is probable. that this may be done.
A private sewer in Woodland avenue.
running from Ocean avenue to Van
Cleef avenue, was accepted by the city.
The final award of contract for the
construction of sewer in the Hudson
Boulevard. from Sanford place to Za-
briskie street, after hearing at which
no objections were offered, was awarded
to Bernard Cannon.
1t was decided to ask the Finance
Board to appropriate S125 to cover the
shortage in the public account and $102.-
So to meet the deficiency in the cost of
the cement coping around the basin of
the fountain erected by thelOpen Hand
Society in River View Park.
Two bids were received for mason ma
terials. Washburn Brothers bid 115. j..
R. Hill Co. bid 1lO. The Commissioners
thought the bids high and laid the mat
ter over instead of awarding the contract
to the lowest bidder.
The Jersey City womna's Club asked
that garbage be removed three times a
week instead of two times week. The
request was referred TO the proper COM
mittee, as was also request of the Sew
enth Ward Improvement Association for
the Board to compel the Public Service
Corporation to repave between its tracks
and repaid crosswalks on its West Side
avenue extension line.

TIGERS HOPE

Special to 1.-The Jersey City News.')
PRINCETON, Oct. 1S, 1905.-That
the Princeton coaches are going to de-
pend mainly on line plunges, tackle-back
formations and mass plays in general, is
becoming more evident every day. End
runs are rarely tried, and as yet no trick
PLAYS of any kind have been practised.
The quarterback kick has been used fre-
quently for good gains, but the ends are
not always sure on the catch. and it
will require much practice to perfect this
particular play.
The. best ground gaining plays to date
have been with Cooney at the head of a
tackle back formation, and Mccormick
carrying, the ball through centre or right
guard. He is steady on his feet, fast and
very aggressive, hurdling fearlessly when
an opening is not made. Bard is also a
coed ground gamer on mass plays, and
his punting is steadily improving.
The practise yesterday consisted main
" OF a long signal drill. All the varsity
backs were run through the formations
several times, special attention being
given to the formation Of the irterfer-
ence. John De Witt was out in football
togs for the first time this year, instruct
ing the punters and the drop kickers.
One long half was played against the
scrub, in which the varsity scored three
times. The improvement Of Hamill's
work at haHback was noticeable, and
he is sure to prove at least q good sub
stitute. Connor's work on the scrub was
very creditable, and he made several diff
cult tackles. Captain Cooney seemed to
show the benefit derived from his four
days rest, and his play was full Of snap.
Hard practise will be the rule all this
week In preparation for fast game
against Lafayette on Saturday

Railroad Will Spend S26,

CONTRACT BREAKS RECORD
IT IS THE LARGEST EVER MADE
IN THE HISTORY OF THE RAIL
ROAD = FIRMS TO DO THE
WORK.

+.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct is, 1905
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
about to place the largest. single equip
ment oider in its history. It consists of
500 locomotives and 1900 freight cars
Plans have been made with the Baldwin
Locomotive works for the building of
2J0 locomotives. and 250 more are to be
built at the company's shops at Juniata.
Bids for the construction of the freight
ears have been invited and the order
will be placed within a few weeks. 1t
came as a great surprise although it has
been known that despite all recent ad-
ditions to equipment, the road is still
short of motive power and cars.
Within the last nine months the COM
pany has placed orders for 10000 freight
cars and has received the major part of
an order for 525 locomotives placed last
year With the Baldwins.
The value of the combined order is
placed at $21 10000. OF this amount
S15.0O000O will be expended on cars.
The contract to be given the Baldwins
is estimated at $3,125,O00. It is prob
able that the motive power order will
be increased before the first part of the
order has been received. When the new
order is placed the Pennsylvania system
will have under way 81 300 new cars and
total outlay of $26,Oo0,O0O win be in
volved.
Traffic officers of the road say that
every day an increase in freight is no.
ticeahle. Calls for more cars are heard
constantly. Orders have been issued to
the transportation department to hasten
the loading and unloading of cars on the
road, but even unusual efforts have Fail
ed to supply the demand. Orders have
been sent to all connecting lines to re-
turn immediately all cars belonging to
the Pennsylvania, and still the demand
exceeds the supply It is estimated by
the transportation officers that if the
company had enough cars to meet the
demand now more than the cost of the
cars would be earned within short
time.
The car order will probably be placed
with the Pressed Steel Car Company, the
Standard Steel Car Company, the Ameri-
can Car and Foundry Company, the
Cambria Steel Company and the Middle
town Car Works.
Financial arrangements for the order
have not been made. but it is predicted
that the directors viii order part Of the
expense taken from the systems earn
ings, while the remainder will be taken
out Of the proceeds of the recent bond
issue Of $10o, 100000.

HIMSELF UNDISTURBED.


Thomas n. McCarter. president of the
Public Service Corporation, when seen
at his Newark Office. stated today that he
was neither interested in nor worried b.
the incorporation in Jersey City this
week of the Hudson Street Railway Com
pany, corporation with $3,e00o00 eapi-
tai, formed for the supposed purpose of
competing with Public Service lines.
Mr.. McCalTer declared that he knew abb
solutely nothing about the aims and OBJ
jects of the new concern. and did not
care what they were.
Il know no more about the matter
chan does the general public" said Mr..
McCarter. 1T does not worry US. and
we are not interested in what other peo-
pie do"
The formation of the new traction COM
pany has caused much speculation among
local financial men as to the extent of
the scope of the new corporation, wheth-
er it will confne its operations TO Hud-
son County, or will eventually extend
into Essex and other districts. The in
terests involved, too, We're subject to va
rying surmises. William G. McAdoo,
president of the syndicate which has
bored two tunnels under the Hudson
river, is known to be allied with August
Belmont, who in turn is the representa-
tive in this country of the Rothschilds.
On the other hand, David Young, another
incorporation, formerly yice-pres:dent and
general manager of the North Jersey
Street Railway Company, is consulting
engineer of Brown Brothers. bankers
who control the traction lines in Pitts
burg. st. Louis and San Francisco, 50
that there is an element of uncertainty
as to which financial group controls the
new concern

whose name appears among the incorpo-
rators of the new company, went tc
Pittsburg yesterday to be gone two
