Vladimir to Go
Abroad.

LONDON, Feb. 20, 1905.--A despatch
to the daily Mali from Cracow says
that after researches in GaIiea the re-
spsnsible organizers Of the Polish strilS-
ers have been discovered. They said
that the political strike in Poland was
ended. The next step would be to arm.
organize and drill 100000 men, whom
the leaders say they are able to summon.
Weapons are being smuggled across
the German and Austrian frontiers. An
attempt at mobilization in Poland viii
be resisted with arms. The conspirators
aim at the establishment Of an independ-
ent Polish republic The leaders dis

sination Of Grand Duke sergius, but ex-
pressed themselves as being very glad
that he had been killed.

My proposition, which ! intend to sub
nit to the caucus tonight is that the
Democratic representatives in the Legls-
lature shall submit their ideas on equal
taxation to Mr.. Charles 6, Black, who
made equal taxation the issue Of his re-
cent Gubernatorial campaign Then
propose that Ir. Black shall draft a bill
in accordance with these IDEAS and that
such bill shall be supported solidly by
the minority as party measure.
'.The bill to be introduced must be one
upon which all Democrats can unite.
We must show the people Of the State
what the party stands for and what they
may expect if the party is again placed
in control Of legislation. While The Demos
Gratis cannot hope for the success Of their
bill. sill il will be 1t good thing to let The
public at large thoroughly understand
how the party stands regarding equal
taxation
Regarding Corporation Counsel Rec
ord's bill Senator AIinturn said be saw
no reason why it should even be consid-
cred by the Democrats
AIR Records bill is simply and purely
a Republican measure, said the Senator.
1T represents Mayor Fagan's views If
perchance It should become a law the
Republicans would claim all the glory.
Under such circumstances | do not con-
slider that the Democrats should support
or even consider it. If there is any glory
TO be gained through an equal taxation
measure tie Democrats should claim it
for their own party and not give the Re
publicans a chance to say that they were
compelled to support a bill prepared for
themg
Senator Minturn said that because AS
semblyman Scott, of Bayonne the only
Republican member of the Hudson dele
CATION. refused to introduce Mr.. Records
bill there was no reason why any Demo-
crat should present it. It was a Republi-
can measure and Mr.. Record should not
expect any Democrat to introduce it.

Mr.. EvERETT's CHANGE.
Popular Advertising Expert Joins
the George Batten Co.

Willard Everett has formed a con-
nection with the firm of George Batten
Co., advertising agents. IS Park Row,
New York. This alliance means much
to newspapers and advertisers adj
-vertisers, as it strengthens the hand Of a
firm already strong and well established
that has grown steadily and strongly
from a very modest beginning in 1891
to a position in the very first rank of adj
vertising firms, and especially in the
straightforward dealings.
The growth of their business is fhe
best proof of their ability, as the major
ity OF the large advertising accounts
handled, grew from very small appro-
pfiations, and grew as the advertising
proved profitable.
One of the best known newspaper
managers said Of Mr.. Everett in re-
cont interview: There is no man in the
United States that knows the daily
newspapers better than Willard Everett
-or knows what he wants and how to
get it-can make a closer deal. and yet
who is more popular with publishers and
their representatives, because. close,
shrewd as he is, he plays a fair game.
and is always ready to give the other
fellows square dcal.7
In this opinion newspaper men will
universally agree.
Mr.. Everett has had a training and ex-
perience that make him especially valu-
able to the customers Of his frn--trained
in the office of the Boston Herald" and
for years manager of its advertising de-
paIfment. Some of the most successful
advertisers owe their start in the right
direction very largely to his timely sug-
gestions.
His success with the advertising cam
paigns conducted by him are too well
known 10 need meneon here.

IN PATERSON HOSPITALS.
City AmbuIances We're at the
Erie Depot But Orders to
Bring Victims Here Were
Countermanded.


AS far as could be ascertained in this
city, only one person was killed-a Miss
Grace Matthews. Of sufferu \. Y. The
number of wounded is said 70 be around
seventy. These are being looked after
in the Paterson and surrounding hos
pitals.
An ambulance train was dispatched to
the scene from this city as soon as the
news of the catastrophe was flashed over
the wires, and instructions We're given to
bring the dead and wounded to this city.
Two ambulances from ST Francis Hos
pital and one from Christ Hospital were
on hand nj the scheduled time for the
ambulance train to return with the dead
and wounded Of the wreck. DR. McGil.
DR.. Hart and other physicians were
awaiting the arrival Of the ambulance
train They were informed, however.
that the order 10 bring The victims of the
wreck to this city had been countermand-
ed and thar later Instructions were TO

Of Council, approved by the Mayor.
whether the drainage o. pumping system
Of sewerage shall be established in
THAT city. It seems that there is
diversity Of opinions regarding tile sys-
tens. One faction fayors the drainage
system owing to the limited cost While
others favor pumping. As the factions
are unable to agree, Senator Minturn
proposes that the people shall decide
the uestiqon at an election.
Another bill which Senator Minturn
viii introduce provides that wherever any
street railway company removes snow
and ice from the tracks it shall be COM
PEELED to clean all street through which
tracks are laid.
The Senator said his bill was intended
to prevent controversy between street
railway companies and store-keepers re-
garding the rights of the companies to
remove snow from the tracks and place
it in high embankments on either side
thus shutting off store-keepers from the
use Of the street. He said a few days
ago, an Official of the trolley company
caused the arrest Of d business man be-
cause he removed the snow in front OF
his store where it had been swept by the
track sweeper and threw it on the track.
The Senator contends that the business
man had as much right to replace the
snow on the tracks as the trolley COM
pany had 10 place it in high enlbank-
ments along the tracks thus prevent
ing vehicles from using the streets and
impeding traffic.
The bill is a general one and applies
to all municipalities through which the
trolley lines pass. The company is to
defray all expenses. for removing the
snow and ice from the streets.
Another bill provides for the extension
of the time for the payment Of taxes IN
all cities from December 20 10 Febru-
airy Is, following. It is claimed that
many taxpayers have found it ineon-
yenient to pay taxes on the date now
fixed by law because they have been
compelled to draw money from savings
banks and thereby lose all interest
which they would have accumulated if
they had allowed such money TO remain
in bank until January ! or about II
days later.
Assemblyman Harry ". Lange. Of
Hoboken. will introduce his first bill Of
the session which provides that no bank,
trust company or other banking instita-
tion shall be held responsible for any
raised or forged check unless such bank
is notified within one year after the
eashed checks. or vouchers are returned
by the bank 10 the depositor.

TRENTON. Feb. 20, 1903. The Leg
islatiye min will be set in motion in both
Houses at s O'Clock this evening and
will be kept engaged ii grinding out
new laws until tomorrow afternoon, when
a recess will probably de taken to enable
the lawmakers to spend Washington's
natal day at their homes.
Six weeks have elapsed since the ses-
sion began and there are less than six
bills that have reached Governor
stokes's hands, notwithstanding that
there have been 160 bills introduced in
the House and 81 in the Senate. The
trouble has been with the committees.
The chairmen fear to report bill until
they receive orders from their bosses"
and rs a result legislation mas been
blocked Only such bills as are re-
gardeI as harmless or are demanded by
the localities which they affect are al
lowed to pass through the mill without
struggle
The principal measure passed thus far
and which is now law. was the Gibbs
anti-spring election bill. Had it not
been that the Republicans were anxious
to avoid elections being held in some Of
the townships and boroughs next month,
it is doubtful if this measure would have
been hurried through II would have
probably have slumbered in committee
with other important measures.
The law makers realize that the prin-
eipal measures this session are the Equal
Taxation and the Morris Canal Abandon
nent bills. Neither Of them has yet been
introduced though the Republicans, it is
said. will present their Equal Tax bill
during tonights session, while the Demo
Gratis will hold their measure until next
week. The Morris Canal abandon
ment bill cannot be introduced until the
preliminary bill becomes a law and mo-
tice Of the intention 70 introduce the
Abandonment measure is published in
one Trenton newspaper for six consecu-
tive days.
Thus, while both Houses have large
amount of work to perform, the ques7
tion of sine die adjournment has not
been considered and no date viii be
agreed upon until the calendars are
cleared II these important measures.
The Democrats are sharpening their
knives for the abandonment measure
and while they realize that they are
hopelessly in the minority, they pro
pose to put up stiff fight against ITS
adoption unless Jersey City's interests
are protected. They will pursue al
sorts of tactics to accomplish fheir pur-
pose First, they viii seek to have the
bill amended to benefit Jersey City.
