Rochester and the Skeeters slid into

Keister and Butler. Mack pitched a
great game for Jersey City. He mysti-
fed the Toronto batsmen, allowing but
two hits in nine the innings. He gave
two bases on balls in succession in the
eighth with two men out, but Clement
prevented any scoring by a splendid run
ming catch. Currie, WHO was on the slab
for Toronto, also pitched effectively, al

luck. Halligan sprained his ankle slid
ing to third and retired in the second in
ming. Moskimon took his place. The
Jerseys first run in the fourth inning was
made on Frick's high throw and Keis-
ter's drive for two bases. Keister tried
to make it a three-bagger but was caught

eating roughly the location Of the fire.
The fire alarm systems- were distributed
through 4S states and territories, although
they were found chiefly in the older and
more densely populated sections. The
largest number, 106, was reported for
Massachusetts and the next largest. 70,
for New York
The practice of putting the FIRE alarm
wires underground has increased rapidly
during late years, and more than one
fourth Of the 39,635 miles of such wire
was underground in 1902. There were
81 1872 signaling and annunciating boxes
and 1900 special telephones for use in
connection with the fire alarm sedyice.
During the year 1902, 5000 fire alarms
were turned in through these boxes and
telephones. OF these alarms, II, ,794 were
credited to New York; 9,491 to Massa-
chusetts; and 9,O27 to Illinois.
The utilization af the telegraph as an
aid in he detection and suppression of
crime. and also in Connection with other
duties falling to the protectors of the
peace, was resorted to at rather early
large cities. The combination of the tel
egraph and telephone as an ausiliary to
date by the police departments invarious
the police force was first introduced in
1880.
In 1902 the police patrol systems were
distributed in 80 states and the District
of Columbia, most of the systems being
located in the states with the greater
number of large cities. Massachusetts
is credited with the largest number, Is;
and New York ranked second, with IA.
There were, in 1902, 14S police patrol
systems. with 28,35O miles of wire The
signaling boxes numbered 9,476; and the
telephoning boxes, LILO. Over these in
struments 40, 626,5o5 police calls were
received or sent. This gives an average.

EXPANSION OF HAPCOODS


A change that is significant of the
growth of Hapgoods. the national organ
ization of, brain brokers, took place this
month when the home Offices of the COM
pany were removed from the fifth floor
of the Mutual Reserve Building. at the
corner of Broadway and Duane street,
New York, to much more commodious
quarters on the first floor of the same
building. Access to the offices may be
had at No. 300 Broadway as heretofore
or one door below, at Nos 305 and 307
Broadway, where flight of steps leads
directly to the main reception and wait
ing room. On the Duane street side and
large handsome Hapgoods signs in blue
and gold which cannot fail to attract at
tention.
The new offices which occupy almost
the entire first floor, have been newly
furnished and remodeled to meet < the
needs of the increased volume of business
that is steadily coming to Hapgoods
There are ten suites of offices set apart
for the use of the Executive. Technical
Sales. Clerical and other departments,
with separate whiting rooms for men
having business to transact with them
All the offices and the large work room
are enclosed with plain glass partitions
SO that visitors have an unobstructed
view of the work that is being done and
the men who are doing it. Hapgoods is
constantly striving to increase the eff
cheney of its systems and to bring them
as near as possible to perfection. The
result is an organiza tion that has reached
high standard of excellence as REGARDS
both men and methods.
Not only has Hapgoods expanded in
the United States until it operates Off
ces in twelve cities. but an English or
ganizstion has been started. with all for
eign countries for its field. This COM
pany is Hapgoods Limited, a duly regis
tered British corporation, under the man
agement of an English board of directors
thoroughly experienced in the business
methods of Great Britain. Ireland and
the Colonies. 1t is already in successful
operation with well equipped office in
Temple Bar House, Nos. 1928 Fleet
street, London, E. c., and is being ex-
tremely well received. It is expected
that branch offices will soon be opened
in the principal cities, such as Glasgow,
Manchester, Birmingham and Belfast,
and that Canadian branches will be es-
tablished in Montreal and other cities.
The British public is beginning to appre-
ciate American business men and their
methods and is very quick to take up an
idea Of unquestioned merit. ~.......

Mayor Pagan and Corporation Coun-
sci George L. Record went to Bayonne
last night to establish branch of the
Colby Record Pagan organization, or Re
form League. About thirty+6ve men lis
tened to the speeches. The addresses
were short and the small attendance was
attributed to the hot night. A promise
was made TO organize branch club IN

MENTIONED

Funny that the Fagan administration
has just discovered that the contract sys-
tenn of cleaning the streets is failure.
1t is the first time in the four years he
has been in office that Mayor Pagan has
made any objection. Why did he not
establish municipal plant when he had
Street and Water Board of his own se

1t seems about settled that the Fagan-
ties viii get a representative on the
Board. Col. Dickinson is working over
time TO land for the regulars both of the
majority appointments, but there is talk
that thus far he has not been able to
bring the Governor around to his way of
thinking.

Politics still dominates the Board of
Health. despite the statement of the Fa-
gan Commissioners to the contrary.
Warden Stohlman having quit the insti-
tuition during the day, it was necessary
for the board to hold a special meeting
to fill the vacancy. This took place at
4 P. NJ, and without much ado Clerk
Charles Mason of the Second Criminal
Court was appointed. He received the
votes of all the Commissioners. William
Delaney having withdrawn from the con-
test when he found no Democrat. how
ever competent, had chance to get the
place. The new Warden is zone of the
Pagan leaders in the Ninth Ward. The
salary of the new position is 5000 more
than he was receiving as Court Clerk.

PROPOSED SCALE OF ADvANcl
POLICE BOARD TO USE IT'S IN
FLUENCE WITH THE FINANCl
BoARD-SALARIES NOW WHAa
THEY WERE TWENTY YEAR
AGO

At last nights meeting of the Polio
Board increases in salary were demande
by captains, sergeants, deteetive-sel
geants and roundsmen on the grouni
that the cost of living had so greatly in
creased that higher pay was an 'absolut
necessity.
The captains want an increase from
$1,000 to S2,500, the sergeapts from
81 $50 to $500, the detectives frou
81, 300 to 81 800 and the roundsmen froa
81, 100 to $1,000. The Commissioner
were reminded that if salaries were no
increased patrolmen soon would receiT
more than roundsmen. The patrolmei
got legislation increasing their pay from
81, 100 to 81 200 in three advances spreai
over as many years. One of these yeaH
is nearing a close and the second advanc
soon viii be in effect. The Police Com
missioners promised to see what thei
could do with the Board of Finance.
The argument was set forth that tn
salaries in general are what they wen
twenty years ago, when the cost Of hT
ing was not so high. Captain John 3
Kelly pleaded the cause of the captaint
Sergeant John Wade that of his rani
and Detectiye-sergeant Prescott for th

There are several applicants, all Fa-
ganites for the Court Clerkship. 1t was
the belief at the City Hall this morning
that Adolph LANCER, a popular young
newspaper reporter, had the endorsement
of majority of the Mayors cabinet, and
that this would land him the job. Inas-
much as "a Faganite must get the place.
a better selection could not be made.

Although the Senate Committee that

ed that its meeting called for yesterday in
this city would be informal, number of

were made. There will be several clerks
and few subpoena servers. Not all of
these will be Republicans. Senator Min
tributed.

There was big delegation of Police
officials at the meeting of the Board of
Police Commissioners last night. The
occasion of their presence was to ask the
Commissioners to provide for an increase
of their pay. The proposition was fa-
vorably received by the Commissioners
and it is probable that it will be put up
to the Board of Finance. These are the
increases asked for:
Captains from $1,000 to S2,500; Ser
geants, $1,000 to $1,5O0; Detective-Ser-
geants. the same; Roundsmen from ST.,
100 to $1,000.
When the proposition reaches the
Board of Finance it won't have such
clear sailing. Commissioner Rinde,
while not objecting to providing places
for unnecessary clerks in the Tax De-
partment and City Collectors Office,
thinks the members of the police depaN
ment are now getting enough pay. This
was the opinion he entertained when the
patrolmen's salary increase bill was up
in the Legislature. Perhaps he has
changed his mind.
