Of the Bishops Bill Back

BISHOP M'FAUL'S VIE US
HE URGES HIS ASSOCIATES TO
DEMAND THE PASSAGE OF
THEIR MEASURE AS DRAFTED
OR IT'S DEFEAT AS a WHOLE

Especial to THE Jersey City News.')
TRENTON. Mar so, 1so6.-Coun-
selor feter Backes, Of this city. as. .secre-
tary and counsel of the interdenonina-
tional conference which drafted the
Bishops high license bill, has called a
meeting Of the clergy interested in the
bill. to be held at the Trenton House
next Monday afternoon, for the purpose
of discussing the Senate committees sub
stitate to the measure
Mr.. Backes will not discuss the purpose
of the meeting but it is apparent that
the whole excise. subject will asa.r be re-
ylved and the proposed Senate ccpamit-
tees amendments Will be condemned.
The leaders Of the clergy eoasider thai
the amendments simply destroy the in
tent of the Bishops bill and practically
place the new measure on a par with the
Weus law which is now operating and
which the Bishops bill was intended to
amend.
,Rt. Rev. Bishop McFAuI of Trentoni
is 50 much disappointed by tie amend
ments proposed by the Senate committee
that he says he will urge the clergy at
the conference next Moaday not to ae-
cept the proposed amendments but 10
send a strong letter of protest to the SEN
ate insisting upon the adoption Of tbs
Bishops bill as drafted or defeat it as
whole.
Bishop AcFaul is one Of the radicals.
He believes that the clergy should not
compromfse On rhe liquor question
the Senate should refuse to adopt the
Bishops bill. ii would give the clergy
better opportunsty to make more siren
uous fight for the measure next year.
In the meantime they could strengthen
their fences and take such an active par:
in the next political campa'g gn that only
men favorable to the Bishops bill could
be elected to the next Legislature.
On the other hand, Bishop McFaul
claims that if the present Legislature
should adopt a compromise measure ae-
eeptea by the clergy, the latter would not
be in a position to fight for mere drastic
legislation next year.
The executive committee of the Hud-
son County Liquor Dealers Association
will meet at Franklin Hail. Montgomery
ana Warren streets, jersey City, this af
ternoon. to discuss the Senate amend-
ments. A lively meeting is anticipated,
as not all the members are satisfied with
the amendments proposed.

manding certain legislation that Gov.

The largest battleship in the world. the
new Constitution. one which win cost,
when armed and armored, s9,00O,000, is
included in the plans Of the House Naval
Committee. which yesterday made public
its intention TO report in favor Of ex-
pending 500, 10000 on the navy.
Fhe greet vessel will be in excess Of
19,o0o tons displacement and may be
10000, the exact dimeas' 'ons to be left for
determination to the Secretary ofJhe
Navy.
An appropriation Of s6,ooo,ooo will be
carried by the naval appropriation bill
for the hull and machinery alone. the arr
NOR to be provided for out of the appro-
pr.ation for armcr plate. Tbs viii
bring the estimated cost Of the vessel up
to $9,O00,000. 1t Will be about 1000
tons; larger than the DTeadnaught, just
completed for the British navy and now
the largest battleship in the world.
It will be more than 1000 tons larger
than the largest ship in the navy at the
present time.
Whether or not the plans Of the House
Committee will be approved by the SEN
ate there is now some doubt
Senator Hale. the chairman of the
Senate Naval Committee, has invariably
opposed large ships, presumably because
the New England shipyards are not ca
pable of constructing them. owing to in
sufficient depth of water to float them
In addition to this, Hale is anti-adminis-
tration, and the President j. understood
to favor the new departure in naval
trolling factor in the Senate. although an
exceedingly strong man, and it is be-
Heved the big ship project may succeed.
Other vessels which the committees
bill will authorize TO be constructed are
three torpedo boat destroyels to cost
$T5O,o0O each. and $1,0o0.0o0 TO be ex-
pended by the Secretary of the Navy for
submarine boats in his discretion.
The naval bill will carry total Of
500, 10000. The current law aggre-
gates s103,Oo00o0
The committee placed an item of
100000 in the bill for the repair Of the
old ship Constitution. The idea is that
with this amount, while the ship cannot
be rebuilt, it can be placed in shape to
be anchored in some navy yard to be dee-
ignated convenient for inspection by the
public. The same as is now the case with
Nelson's old flagship Victory, at the
Portsmouth navy yard
The construction Of drydock at Bre-
merton, Puget Sound, was authorized,
with an appropriation Of $I00000 to be
gin the work. The total ccst of the dock
is estimated at S1,25O.O00. A floating
steel dock for the Atlantic coast WAS
also authorized and 100000 appropu-
ated to begin construction. The ccst of
this dock Is estimated at ST 100000.

False Telegram 70 Governor
Stokes Made Him Believe
the Teachers Association
Oppose the Measure
MESSAGE 70 Be INVESTIGATED
czAR-L1KE METHODS OF THE
ASSOCIATIONS PRE- ENT
SAID TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE WRONG IMPRESSION

The members Of the Hoboken Teach
ers Association are greatly agitated over
telegram sent 10 Governor Stokes last
Tuesday. on behalf Of the association,
stating that it was opposed to the teach
ers' retirement fund bill and that at a
meeting of the teachers it was decided
BY a vote of 100 to 10 to request the
Governor not to sign it. The telegram
was signed ..Hoboken Teachers Associ-
alton"
The fact that such telegram was
sent to the Governor was net made
known until committee of three teach
ers. representing Miss Elizabeth A. Al
len, leader of the retirement fund move
ment, appeared before the Governor and
began to explain that at meeting of
the teachers held in Public School No. 6,
that city, to discuss the retirement fund
bill, the majority was not allowed to rule
or. secure an honest vote on the question,
owing to the Czar-like rulings of Prin-
cipal G. ]. Brown, president of the AS
sociation.
Governor Stokes was led to believe
that the majority of Hoboken teachers
favored the retirement bill and the fact
that the telegram showed such vast
majority against 1T, rather nettled him.
He was at first disinclined to receive the
committee of teachers. but when they as
sured him that the telegram he had re-
ceived was spurious and was not au-
thorized by the Hoboken Teachers AS
sociation, he relented and heard what
theY had TO say.
The teachers told the Governor that
lnine-tenths of the teachers in Hoboken
favored the retirement bill. but were not
permitted to give expression to their
choice owing to the rulings of President
Brown. one of the leaders in thS move
ment against the bill. They said than
after the retirement bill was discussed a
vote of approval was asked. President
Brewer then arbitrarily decided by a viva
yoce vote that the question was lost. not
withstanding that more than three
fourths of those present voted in favor.
When the teachers asked for a ballot
vote President Brewer, the committee
said. declared the motion out of order,
notwithstanding that the associations
rules provide that upon the request of
any three members ballot vote shall
be taken.
Governor Stokes told the committee
that he was pleased to learn the circum-
stances under which the Hoboken teach
ers had disapproved of the retirement
bill ard that the telegram sent under
such circumstances would have no weight
with him. The Governor assured the
committee that he favored the retirement
b.ll ard that if it passed the Legislature
he would sign It.
The committee returned TO Hoboken
much pleased with the result of their
visit 10 the Governor 1t now will insti-
tute an investigation to ascertain the
sender Of the unauthorized Telegram.
