he plays very little.
Hamilton is always accompanied b.
two Americans, who are as reticent and
mysterious as himself. They will prob

LIQUOR DEALERS
IN SESSION
Hudson County Association
Meets at Elks' Hall to Dis
cuss the Proposed LegisIa-
ton Regulating Their
Business.
CORRUPTION FUKD DENIED
SPEAKERS DENoUNCE SOME OF
THE RESTRICTIONS THREAT
ENED BY TErE NEW BILLS
CLERGY CRITICIZED AS IN
GRATEFUL

While the clergymen's conference over
the proposed new excise bills before the
Legislature was on in Newark yesterday
afternoon, between six hundred and
seven hundred local liquor dealers We're
in session at Elks'. Hail. also discussing
the same bills. One of the principal
topics discussed was the statements of
number of clergynlen to the effect that
the LIQUOR dealers had created a large
corruption fund, with the purpose of de-
feating the bills drawn at the instance
of the clergymen. This the body of Ii
auor dealers who attended. the meeting
Indignantly denied. They passed reso-
luton denouncing the statements that a
..yelFow dog fund had been created. In
fact Former Assemblyman Murphy in
troduced resolution to the effect that
no saloon keeper should contribute a dol
lar to such a so-called yellow dog fund,
and this resolution WAS carried unani-
mously.
Patrick Connolly presided at the meet
ing. Speeches denouncing some of the
limitations put upon the saloon keeper
by the proposed bills were made by For
mer State. Senator Robert Hudspsth,
who has been engaged as counsel for the
State Association; Michael B. Holmes,
o. R. Vessels and others.
Mr.. Hudspeth said he had his doubts
as t., the csni u,v.,l sllt. Of the bias
and he advised adj liquor '1ealers who
were not in the regular organization to
join and get together in Il body and go
to Trenton to fight the bills drawn againse
them.
Michael B. Holmes said he was against
any measure that would increase the
price of a saloonkeepers' license. The
Excise Commissioners, he said, had a
perfect right to ignore the application Of
any man who applied for a renewal Of a
license if after the applicati ton for such
it was found on investigation that the
applicant was running house of i'll
repute.
Former Alderman John Allen advised
that all liquor dealers get together to
fight the legislation aimed against them.
He called attention to the fact that while
there were Ills saloonkeepers in the
city only 4s0 belong to the Liquor Deal
ers' Association.
Bernard J. Foley referred to the saloon
as "the poor mans club" He and Mr..
Holmes both declared that the bills
drawn are altogether too drastic. Mr..
Holmes declared that the saloonkeepers
helped to build churches and school
houses and were entitled to better
treatment at the hands Of the clergy.
The Jersey City news., 1906-02-24

Judging from the speeches and the
meeting yesterday Of the Liquor Dealers
Association there will be lively times in
Trenton from now in. The saloon keep
ers are not going to remain idle while
their foes are engaged in an attempt to
crush them by securing legislation inim-
1ieal to their interests. a determined
fight is to be made to prevent the pas
sage Of the pending excise measures and
it will be waged in an honorable way.
The liquor dealers Indignantly denied the
printed report that corporation fund
is being made to defeat the bills. 1--WE
will fight in the open and above board,
they say.

MENTIONED

The Board ef Eeducation mas refused
to allow graduates of paroebial schools
to enter the High School on certificates
from the parish priests, as requested by
the clergymen. It has dogded this issue
and shifted the responsibility on Super
intendent Snyder. The clergymen, who
had been given to understand that this
petition would be favorably considered,
will probably be heard from on the sub
ject.

After looking at the subpoena Cammis-
sioner McNulty tossed it aside. He paid
no attention to it When his name was
called by the sergeant-at-arms of the
Grand Jury there was no response. A
constable was sent forthwith after the
derelict Commissioner, who was given to
understand that the Grand jury was not
to be trihed with. Visions of the County
Jail for contempt loomed up before the
Jersey City official and he went along
with the constable.

1t is understood that the Grand Jury
did not learn much from the Commits
sioner. 1t wasn't that he didn't want to
tell, but it was because he did not know
anything. He had heard things but he
could not vouch for their truth and he
had no direct information on the sub
ject on which he was questioned.

Albert Bowden, of Orrington,
Maine, runs a small sawmill near his
home, and in it is one of the old-fash-
toned up-and-down saws. He also
keeps a few cows, and it has been
customary for his wife to do the
churning while he was engaged at
the mill.
Mrs. Bowden. however, recently
went on strike, and informed her
other half that he must churn that
week. He therefore took the churn
to the mill and attached it to the
gearing of the up-and-down saw. Then
he started the water wheel, and soon
had an up-to-date piece of machinery
in every particular.
Noticing that things were moving
smoothly, he attended to some other
duties, until his attention was called
to the churn by a "chug-chug," and,
looking that way, he saw butteTmilk
scattering about, and on reaching the
machine was just in time to see the
bottom go out of the churn and his
weeks butter go into the mill pond.
He surveyed the ruins a moment
then went to the door, and, calling to
the house. said: Wife, I've churned."
