Annual Meeting Heidi the Hospital Building Last Night
Which Was Largely Attended, Secretary and
Treasurer Were Reelected.
At BANQUET.
After the Meeting the Governors
and Members Of the Medical
Staff Were the Guests Of
Mr.. Harrington.

For the first time since the Perth
Amboy city hospital has been built the
Board of Governors held meeting
there last night. 1t was the annual
meeting for the election of new officers.
The members were SO well pleased
with the room at the hospital for meet
ing purposes that many of them sug-
gested the holding of the quarterly
meetings in the building hereafter in
stead of at the home of one Of the
members.
Some of the members were so en-
thusiastic over the idea that they said
during the coming summer they would
not mind the walk to the hospital,
thus saving the expense of hiring
stages.
At s o'clock sharp fourteen of the
hospital governors, J. P. Holm and an
EVENING NEWS reporter left Liddle
d Pfeiffer's stable, in New Brunswick
avenue, in two stages and in short
order they arrived at the hospital.
The meeting was called TO order at
once by President South r. Earring
ton. Henry W. Jones was chosen Sec
retary in the absence OF Sidney Rid
dlestorffer. Ernest Comegy was chosen
chairman of the evening and the elec-
tion Of officers was then taken up.
South r. Harrington was reelected
president; James Toomey was elected
as first vice president. He succeeded
George Haney. John anderson was
elected as second vice president. He
succeeded Henry W. Jones. Sidney
Riddlestorfer was reelected secre-
tary, and Adrian Lyon was chosen
treasurer. The old managing COM
mittee was reelected with .one excep-
tion and that was Thomas Redhing.
The committee now is composed of
George J. Haney, Mr. Gridley, J.
Kreielsheimer, Samuel Garretson and
Henry W. Jones.
This is the fifth year that Mr.. Far
rington has been reelected to the
Office Of president of the Hospital AS
sociation, and last night he made a
short address in which he thanked the
members for the honor.
After the meeting the governors
were taken on a tour of inspection
through the lower part of the hospi-
tai, where everything Of interest was
shown them by President Farri ngton.
The members were invited to visit the
hospital during the day.
When the inspection was completed
the governors were driven totheP Packer
House, where they were the guests oi
Mr. harrington at banquet. The
medical staff met them there. 1t was
Just II o'clock when the guests de-
parted.

FOUR YEARS
FOR CORDOvA.
Judge Strong Gave the Former
Minister the Limit-An
Appeal Taken.
.SbeciaI 10 tie E9eniHg heSV.

New Brunswick, Mar. Isl. L.
Cordova was sentenced this morning
by Judge Strong. The unfrocked min
ister received the limit of the law,
four years. one year for abandonment
and three for assault. In addition he
was fined the amount of the cost OF
the trial. Unless this is paid, he will
have TO serve il out at the rate of 4
dollar day. This will add nine
months to his sentence.
For good behavior he will receive
two months off each year. Thus he
will have to serve slightly less than
four years.
His counsel, H. L. Cook, has taken
out a writ of error. for an appeal Of
both cases. The writ is retulnable
April s, and the case viii be heard at
the June term. Cordova's time, while
awaiting appeal, will be spent in the
county Jail, but will, according to law,
count on his sentence, taking off that
nuCll lllle. Cnc StuttllCt III 4iOt Gull
mence until the other is finished.
In sentencing Cordova, Judge Strong
said that he has received stacks of
letters. some demanding clemency for
the prisoner, others asking that the
laws fullest punishment be meeted out
to him. The Judge said that he did
not see how anyone would be benefited
by his giving Crodova n light sent
ence. and that, when he is released,
the former pastor will. probably, re-
sume the same relations with Julia
Bovine, as of old.
Miss Bovine did not call on Cordova
at the Jail last night, but sent her
uncle with letter and handker-
chief, towel and soap. She had not
returned his collar and cuffs, which
she took to be laundered, up to
O'Clock this afternoon. She sent an
/ other loving letter this morning.

Why He Waited,

On certain occasion Henry Ward
Becchcr's church was crowded to the
doors. But Bcechcr unexpectedly had
been called out of town, ana in his
place in the pulpit there sat a beard
less, black clad youth-a youth who is
to-day one of the most powerful
preachers in America. But this youth,
fresh from college, was unknown then,
ana the great congregation had come
to hear Bccchcr ana not him, Conse-
1uently as soon as he arose and an
nOunccd that he was to preach in
Beechcr's place the people began Ia
drift out. First one went, then two
then a half dozen, ana the young man
stood watching this dispersal from the
pulpit. 1t was a trying moment, and
yet there sat on his youthful face a
smile sngularly composed. Out the
| people tiptoed and he waited, saying
| nothing for almost five minutes. Then
| he said, as If in explanation Of his 81

HARTMAN
And GOULD
IN A TILT
Latter Resigns From
Union Pacific
Directory.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

CHICAGO. April 27.-George Gould
resigned to-day from the directory of
the Union Pacific Railroad. This ac-
ton is regarded as the outcome Of a
tilt with Edward II. Hartman. who
controls the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific system. over the recent ao-
ton taken in pushing the completion
Of the Western Pacific road. Gould is
the principal factor in the control Of
the Denver and Rio Grande and the
Western Pacific Railroad, about to be
constructed from Salt Lake 20 San
Francisco.
The official" explanation of Gould's
resignation is that he had been elected
on the distinct understanding between
him and the controlling interests in
the Union Pacific that he would re-
sign from the directory IL he decided
at any time to build the Western Pa
cific.
Il have put in my resignation be-
cause ] thought that, as I am inter
ested in the Western Pacific, Ii would
not be right for me TO remain upon
the board of directors of a competing
line" said Gould. Il do not think that
the resignation should be considered
as having any other significance.
Gould said he had also resigned from
the directorate of the Oregon Short
Line. Asked How about the Burling-
ton ?' he replied.
Il cannot say as to that"

at this port of San Francisco for the last
thrty-one years. and Of dean of the Consular
Corps OF the city since 1888. has lately resigned

colleagues.
Courtenay Walter Bennett, C. l. E..

pressed the feeling ofpieasure OF the'
Consular Corps that Mr.. Rosenthal was
to remain In San Francisco for some
time longer and paid a graceful compli-
ment to Mr.. Sierra as the successor to
Mr.. Rosenthal as dean of the Consular
Corps.
Mr.. Rosenthal. in responding ex
pressed his gratitude for the manifes-
tation of regard which had been shown
him and at the same time gave voice
to his deep interest in the DEVELOPMENT
of San Francisco.
He spoke of the great strides the
city had made, not only as the
metropolis of the coast but as a ia
vored site on the Pacific Ocean.
The city's commerce and wealth made
her one of the most important ports in
the United States. Consequently. said
Mr. Rosenthal, the consular service
will widen.
He trusted that success would always
be commensurate with their arduous
and intricate duties of Office.

General bears the inscription:
Presented to Hon. AdoIph Rosenthal by his
colleagues of the consular service. San Fran
cisco. April a. 1905.
