PHONlMa TO A PHON0GRAPR

The disadvantages inevitable IN teler
phoning have been partially overcome by
an instrument of foreign make, though
the general serviceabiity Of the device
has not been demonstrated by usage in
this country, says Telephony" It may
be described as an ordinary telephone
with photographic attachment. While
Mr.. Jones is in his office, the attachment
is not in use, but on going out he con-
meets it with the telephone. When
someone calls for Mr.. Jones over the tel
ephone, the Photographic attachment re-
spends something after this fashion:
'Mr. Jones is not in. This is a phono-
graphic receiver speaking. Kindly give
me your message and | will repeat it to
him on his return" On coming in Nh.
Jones sees from signal that a MESA sc
is waiting him. He takes the receiver
and the phonograph delivers the message

I TO FORCE BILLS OUT

Special to ''The Jersey City News.'')
TRENTON. Jan. %. 1906-Assem-
blyman Berg, of Hudson. tried unsuc-
cessfully last night to catch the admin
istration forces in the House mapping
He introduced resolution requiring
committees to make a report upon any
bill referred to them within one week
upon the request of one-third of the
membtrs Of the House.
Leader Perkins realizing that the reso-
hutton, il adopted. would seriously ham
per the committees in their work, moved
that the resolution be referred to the
Committee on Rules. of which he is
chairman. and as there was no opposi-
ton his motion was adopted. That is
the end of it. Administration forces
claim that it was offered for no other
purpose than to force the committees to
report the Record Pagan Colby bills
which are now being held up.
Mr. Berg admitted last night that this
was the aim of his resolution. Many of
the bills held up are Of paramount inn
portance to Hudson and Essex Counties.
Mr.. Berg will now seek to compel the
Committee on Rules to report his reso-
luton. and if it does not do so within
the next two weeks. he will appeal to
the House to relieve the committee of
its further consideration. He believes
the House will adopt it, Notwithstanding
that the Record e. gam Colby forces are
largely IN the minority.

As in every move he makes, the Mayor
has his political future in mind in urging
the passage of a civil service law cover
ing all the municipal departments. 1t
would relieve him of the responsibility of
making places for all the men he prom
ised to take care of in return for their
support of his candidacy in the recent
campaign. The Mayor is being impor-
tuned to make good and he finds him
self unable to do 50. To be sure the
Mayor did not conceive the civil service
proposition. George 1. Record is the
man behind the gum in this instance as
he has been in every other public dec
laration made by the Mayor in the last
four years. 1t is a clever move and only
shows that the Mayor is playing politics
from one end of the year to the other.

MERELY
MENTIONED

After filling with his followers all
the offices in the City Hall that he could
get hold of, Mayor Fagan thinks it would
be good thing to enact civil service
law that would keep them in positions
as long as they cared to remain. The
Mayor fears that some time because Of
political conditions not the men best
fitted for the places win get the places.
This, he says, ought to be guarded
against and law such as he suggests,
he declares. would remedy the evils COM
planned of. Rather kind Of the Mayor.

MAYOR Dimes IN
The WHITE HOUSE.
On Invitation Of President
Roosevelt He and Corpora
ton Counsel Record Jour
ney to Washington
SPECULATION VERY BRISK
WAS THE VISIT MADE IN CON
NECTIoN WITH ECENT
CHARGES OF "PERNICIOUs AC4
TIvITY" OF FEDERAL OFFICE
HOLDERS.

The fact that Mayor Fagan and Cor
poration Counsel Record We're invited to
dine with President Roosevelt yesterday
stirred up some political agitation in this
city. The invitation came direct through
Secretary Loeb. Mayor Pagan and Mr..
Record went to Washington Sunday
evening. That President Roosevelt real
ICES that he cannot get much support
from the New Jersey members of the
United States Senate, for his freight-rate
measures. nor from four Of the Congress-
men, is conceded by even Mayor Fagan's
friends. And further. that he sees a
more friendly element in the anti-corpo-
ration party. Three weeks ago he in
yited State Senator r-elect Colby, of New
ark to dine with him at the White
House.
According to the 'World" this morn
ing, Mayor Pagan recently preferred
charges at Washington against several
post-masters and other United States Of
ficials in Hudson County of violating the
Civil Service regulations against politi-
cal partisanship. The Pagan Republi-
cans thought the President wanted fur
ther information concerning those
charges.
Dickinson Republicans see nothing re-
nlarkable or significant in the Presidents
desire to see Mayor Fagan or Corpora
ton Counsel Record. They claim that
the President naturally wants to hear
both sides of controversy, and that he
might be acting merely in the interests
of harmony
According to dispatch received from
the New York ''Herald's" bureau, Mayor
Fagan and Corporation Counsel Record
lunched with the President and were
busy the rest of the day looking for po-
litical business" No statements were
given out after the conference, but it was
learned that the visitors discussed with
the President Mayor Fagan's charges of
"pernicious political activity" on the part
of various federal office holders in Hud-
son County. These charges have been
sent from the Postofice Department,
where they were filed with the civil SER
vice commission for opinion as to the cul-
paibility of the office holders mentioned.
According to the sHerald's' dispatch
the President is rallying around him
most of the political reformers in various
States who have made things uncom-
Portable for the Republican machine
.sbosses.' All this is causing much talk
among the u. S. Senators and Represen-
tatives. But, continues the dispatch,
''there are indications that these confer
ences will continue to be held for the
purpose of exchanging views as to the
future publication of the body polite.
Nothing has vet been disclosed by the
Civil Service Commission as to decision
in regard to Federal officials whose ac-
tiyity has aroused the resentment of
Mayor Pagan A report has been rem
dered the President. The President has
discussed the local situation with Con-
gresham Van Winkle."

Wonder what would have happened
to Mayor Pagan if he had taken this
stand prior to the recent election?


Now, will you be good Col. Dickin-
son? Mayor Pagan and George L. Rec
ord, as you know, dined with President
Roosevelt yesterday. The President had
heard Of Mayor Fagan's greatness and
sent for him. Nj. Record had to go
along to see that the Mayor was not kid
mapped on the way to Washington by
the agents of the dreadful corporations
If it were not for the Hoboken "obser-
yer, ayers private organ. the 4psb-
lie would be in doubt as to the purpose of
the Presidents invitation to have Jer-
sey City's trust-buster break bread with
him at the White House.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1906-01-23

The President is going to make a fight
in every State in the Union next fall
against the reelection of certain Con
gressmen and United States Senators
and he wanted to get Mayor Fagan's ad-
vice as to how he should plan the bat
tie 50 that he will succeed in his under-
taking, According to the Hoboken ''Ob-
server Mark NJ. Pagan, George L. Rec
ord and Theodore Roosevelt have form
ed an alliance that means the downfall
of the corporations and political bosses
in the United States. Great is Jersey
City's Mayor.

The Fagan.City Committee has declar-
ed in favor of the open primary system
of nominating candidates for office. and
it has served notice to this effect on the
County Clerk and the City Clerk. Its
declaration will have no more weight
than if ward social club had taken
similar action. The Republican County
Committee is the only body that can
bring about a change in the present
method of making nominations. The
Faganites know this, but their purpose
is to make as much trouble as possible.
When the Republican City Committee
organizes in accordance with the consti-
tuition Of the County Committee, the Fa-
gan Committee will be outside the Re
publican breastworks and will have
nothing to say regarding the party's af-
fairs. A union with the Delaware DEM
oeratic Club is among the possibilities.

May or Pagan is star performer.
He manages to keep the centre Of the
stage at all stages of the political game.
As gallery player he is certainly the
limit. Not even Jim Mccarthy can
hold candle to him.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1906-01-23

Pagan office-holders are boasting of
their loyalty to the administration.
Strange, isn't it? How long would they
hold their jobs if they dared act as their
conscience dictated? Less than half a
dozen of the members of the new Pagan
City Committee are non-office holders.
Suppose Edward Fry held a fat govern
ment, State or County job, instead of
City Collector would he have stood for
the Mayor in opposition to Col Dickin-
sons wishes? Past performances would
indicate not.
