Mayor Pagan Says the Per-
mission to Make the Con-
nections In Question Is a
Perpetual Franchise
TEXT OF THE MESSAGE
IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE
CHANGE IN THE POLITICAL
COMPLEXION OF THE BOARD
IT IS HARD TO PRoPHEsY
WHAT ITS ACTION WILL BE.


Mayor Fagan has again vetoed the res
olutions passed at a recent, meeting OF
the Street and Water Board granting
the Public Service Corporation the right
TO make certain connections. etc.. with
its lines, on the ground that the phras-
ing of the resolutions practically gives
the Corporation perpetual franchises.
He holds out for twenty-five years linz
it. The first set of resolutions vetoed
by the Mayor were revised by Corpora
ton Counsel George L. Record and pass
ed, but even the second set do not suit
the Mayor.
His second veto message, read at this
afternoons meeting of the Street and
Water Board. was as follows:--
January 5, 1906.

and Water Commissioners of Jersey

Il am again forced to diSapprove of
these resolutions. for the reason that they
purport TO give perpetual franchise as
a privilege in our streets to this street

AS the Board has undergone a change
of political complexion 1t remains to be
seen whether the resolutions will be pass
ed over the Mayors head. The fran
chises asked for are to facilitate the troll
ley traffic.

Opposition Faction Of the
Russian Greek Church
Gets Control Of the Christ
mas Gollec' ion
CHAkCERY COURT HELPED
LARGEST CONGREGATION ON
RECORD ATTENDED YEsTER-
DAYS SERVICES, WHICH WERE
PERFORMED BY THE PRIEST
OF THE CHURCH.

Yesterday was the Russian Christmas
and the regular Christmas collection was
taken up in the Russian Greek Catholic
Church of IS. Peter and Paul, Greene
aud Sussex streets. There are two fac
tions in the church and each desired to
gain control of the money collected which
amounted to $3.50.
AS already announced in the News
the annual election of officers was recent
" held and when large proportion Of
the congregatien reached the church to
attend the meeting they found the church
doors locked. 1t was raining hard and
the crowd adjourned to a neighboring
hall, where they held meeting of their
own, nominated officers and went back in
front of the church and elected them.
This faction was largely in the majority.
The effort was to defeat the reelection
of the old officers, who, with quite a
number of the congregation, want to re-
tain the services of the present priest 1t
is said that the faction in the minority
is opposed to the present priest and de-
sires the services of another, who, it was
further said yesterday, is in Europe and
ready to sail for this country.
The majority faction sought S,le pro-
lection of the courts and secured de-
mand for the keys of the church. but
the priest in charge eluded the process
servers. Appeal was made to the Court
of Chancery and permission was given
tile majority faction to change the locks
on the doors of the church building Sat
urlay night. and yesterday the church
was opened fer service with the majority
faction in control At the eleven o'clock
service the largest congregation that has
possibly yet assembled in the pretty edi-
fee since it was built gathered within
its walls. Even the vestibule was dense
II packed. The regular priest conducted
the service, but President X. Kirczow,
of the new Board of Trustees had charge
of the Christmas collection.
John Chodaba. of the old board. at
tempted to interfere with the collection.
He was arrested by Patrolman Rein.
After the service the counting. of the
collection took place in the basement Of
the building. The priest appeared and
demanded an accounting. He was told
he wonld at least have to wait until the
money was counted, and was also told
that the majority faction would hold on
to the money. The new treasurer was
escorted home with the money by po-
iceman.
Both factions remained ON the side
walk for awhile after the service, but
each acted in decorous manner. Sew
eral big policemen were on the scene.

The New Year.

That pessimistic representation
relative TO the new year. 1907, voiced
in some quarters by tricksters and
schemers are wholly unwarranted, and
further. that 1907 promises to be a
year of unprecedented achievement, is
shown by authoritative forecasters.
These men who make minute study of
conditions past and present upon
which alone can be based cogent and
logical conclusions as to the business
future of the land agree with remark
able unanimity that 1907 will be a rec
ord breaker. The year 1906 has set
a splendid pace Building has been
population has increased,
products of the mines and mills, of the
fields and farms have been at top notch

very conclusively that for curing all

Light on the Waterway.

The request by Chairman Burton of
the house committee on rivers and har-
bors- for further information about the
traffic that goes southwark from St.
Louis and about that exchanged be-
tween st. Louis and Chicago, indicates
that his committee is giving the lakes
to-gulf waterway careful consideration,
says the st. Louis Republic. The facts
which Mr.. Kavanaugh has supplied are
of themselves sufficient to decide the
committee to recommend an appropria-
ton of not less than 100000 with
which to begin work in the Illinois
river and at least $1,000,000 for chan
mel improvements between st. Louis
and Cairo.
The increase in railroad rate charges
during the last nine years sufficiently
exhibits the necessity for the water
route as a regulator. The Lakes-to-
Gulf associations motto, River Regu-
lation is Rate Regulation" offers the
only remedy.
The effect such regulation would
have upon the cost of transporting the
35 ,000, 900 tons of freight now annually
exchanged between st. Louis and Chi
cago may be estimated in millions of
dollars The saving would be vastly
greater on the increasing tonnage of
grain, other farm products and manu-
features which the valley states an
nually send to market.
Some months ago Mr.. Burton declar-
ed that there could be no appropriation
this winter for starter on fourteen
feet through the valley" Since then
congress has learned that the political.
Industrial and commercial forces be-
hind the enterprise are much too strong
to be cold-shouldered into silence.
The rivers and harbors committee,
being now in receptive mood, should
not be allowed to suffer for lack of all
the information it can in any way make
use of. 1t should be. and doubtless will
be, fully and convincingly informed

TO PREVENT SUICIDE.
Hotel Chaplain Tells How He Saved
Twelve From Death.

Hotel Chaplain Tells How he saved
Twelve From Death.
Twelve men and women, frankly de-
claring they believed suicide to be the
only way out of difficulties in which
they found themselves. sought the aid
of the Rev. Dr. Henry NJ. Warren,
chaplain of the hotels in New York
city, within five days in response to
general invitation extended by him
to those who contemplated suicide. in
which he said he would help them TO
change their minds, says the New York
Herald. This invitation was given by
Dr. Warren in his service on Il recent
Sunday night in the Fifth Avenue no
tel.
In his sermon DR.. Warren said there
were scores of strangers in New York
every day who had gone there with the
we'll founded intention of ending their
lives. They came. he said, because
they could easily conceal or lose their
Identity.
DR.. Warren argued that the suicidal
intent of such persons might often be
thwarted if they only had some per-
son to whom they could pour out their
hearts at the critical moment in their
unhappy lives. They almost invariably
came to New York alone and were
therefore without counsel when the
contendlng thoughts coursed through
their brains. To serve as q personal
friend rather than as a minister, DR..
Warren made his request that all per
sons so inclined see him before they
carried out their purposes.
Twelve men and women have con-
fessed personally to DR.. Warren that
they intended to commit suicide, and
he has received more than Il score of
letters from others who, although not
intending to end their lives. have de-
clared themselves to be in dire straits.
from which they believed, they said,
there was no release save by extreme
methods.

who came to this city New York; from
Boston. He is the manager of large
manufacturing concern there and has
a wife and several daughters. Family
and financial difficulties caused him to
ponder over suicide as way out of
his difficulties. and he came to this city
and registered in the Grand Union no
tel under an assumed name. He had
told his family he was going to the
Pacific coast on business.
ION his way through the lobby to
drug store, where he expected to pur-
chase poison, he saw my explanatory
card and asked the clerk about me. He
came TO see me, and by remaining with
him for a whole day / got him to go
back home. 1 have received a letter
from him telling me ] saved him from
what he saw afterward would have
been an awful mistake"
Many of the cases which have come
to DIR. Warren's personal attention
arose from lack of funds. Others were
caused directly by business or profess
sional failure. AS an illustra ton DR..
Warren related this incident:
about three days ago n Scotchman
came and told me he was going to
commit suicide. Although his clothes
We're shabby. one could tell that they
had been cut from good material. He
told me that year ago he had been
u we'll to do merchant IN Glasgow, that
he had failed in business, had been
deserted subsequently by his wife and
had fed to America. For several
months, he said, he had worked as a
clerk, but had lost his position when
his employers cut down their force of
clerical men. The rest of his story was
short. He had gone from bad to worse
until he sought sleep on park benches
and food anywhere. Several days ago,
he said, he picked up Herald on
bench in Central park and read the
account of my sermon on suicides and
came to see me. / got him work and
today he has no thought of suicide"
Another case of which DIR. Warren
told was that of the son of q banker
living in Riverside drive, New York,
who, after he had made one unsuccess-
full attempt to end his life, was dis
suaded from second attempt

tried to die by inhaling illuminating
gas in his bedroom. \ servant, how
ever, had entered his room and turned
off the gas, and he had let the matter
pass as accidental. He told me he
wanted TO die because a young wom-
an to whom he had been engaged had
broken the engagement and been mar
ried to another man. Imagine my as
constituent when he told me that had
performed the wedding ceremony my
self.
Il soothed him and told him / was
not positive that l had ever performed
such ceremony and that he might
have heard an erroneous report. He
thought his case over for an hour,
shook hands and said goodby. He is
today as happy as ever, having heard
that the report was false, and have
learned that the sweethearts' quarrel
may be patched up soon.
"Only the other day a young woman
told me she had intended to commit
suicide unless she was able to get n
position at once to buy her food and
shelter. I talked to her for several
hours and sent her away in q cheerful
mood All she needed was 4 ray of
hope and Il suggestion as TO how and
where to find employment"
