PUBLIC OPINION.
Editor EVENING NEWS:

EQltOr ENlNG NEWS:
The Home News, which continues
to relieve its spleen on Fordyce, re-
minds one of an old street organ
horribly scant of tune, and which has
served it's day. The concord of sweet
sounds no longer entrance the passer-
by. 1t is like a wall in the desert
when the arava has stranded. 1t
grinds out false notes and a false note
is a lying note to the truthful ear.
Genius will betimes belittle and dis
honor itself. Calvin, for instance, be-
lieved hell was made for unchristened
infants instead of for grafters.
Nobody reads the editorial pages
of the di%sreputable Strong organ ex-
pecting over "a grain of wheat to a
bushel of chaff." The corrupt advo-
cate and defender of political bossism
begun the Strong-Jackson campaign
with a TRADE of lies and prolonged it
to the end. Now like the dog which
has overgorged, it vomits it anon.
Evidently the Home News pre-
sumes it has still an audience with
the republican party, and that they
will take stock in its fake merchan-
disc. The republican party is looking
back at old Abraham Lincoln and
they are looking to Roosevelt, o to
the Prudential Public Service ring for
relief.
Think of Dory Strong and the
Home News purging the republican
party from graft and general rotten
ess? l would one believe an i'm
poster could restore a sound heart to
a rotten tree.
The republican party had to be
purged by republicans, not by the
tools of rotten corporations who have
grown rich by the ~plundering of the
state and people, and who still want
more.
The honest republicans will never
forgive Dory Strong, nor the Home
News, nor the small army of under
strappers who tried to perpetuate the
reign of graft in Middlesex county.
Their funeral knell has been sounded
by the honest voters and they may
safely join the Down and Out Club.
Graft is a dead dog, at least for the
present. Exit, Dory, Jackson, Home
News, flunkys and attendants.
REPUBLICAN.

STRONG TO GO
ON THE STAND
Sensation Sprung in Tax Hear.
ing of Railroad Companies
To Subpoena State Assessors.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 15:-A sensa-
ton was sprung yesterday at the
hearing of the case of the railroad
companies against this city, in which
they seek to have the tax levy set
aside upon the ground that the rail-
roads have been Disseminated
against, when Corporation Attorney
Robert Cary announced that when the
city puts in its defense it will sub
poena the members of the state board
of assessors, who for twenty years
valued the railroad second-class pro-
perty, the assessing of which by the
local board is the subject of dispute.
David Baird, Theodore Strong and
the other members of the state board
or assessors will be called on behalf
OF the city and put through a cross
examination as to the method they
employed to arrive at their property
values.
The city will show, it is commended,
tnal n state assessors undervalued
lne rallroad property twenty years
ago When Edlow Harrison, since then
nc a expert for the railroads. made
ne assessment n that they did not
increase the valuation all the twenty
Z fNei 7ibipig ylnS the same VAL
res along from year to year. When
I the city's law officers get the mem
bers OF het state board before them
they may also ask them some peril
nent questions about the railroad
land which utterly escaped taxation
for years and was not taxed until dis
covered by the members of the Jersey
City tax board.
This was the property for the tax
ing Of which the Jersey City tax COM
missioners were indicted, the tech
meal charge being that they misstat-
ed the valuations, the untaxed rail-
road property being discovered and
t&&el after the returns had been
made to the county tax board. 1t is
claimed that it will be shown by the
state board Of assessors that railroad
property was never assessed at true
value or anywhere pear true value.
A point Will be made of the fact that
the railroads were carried for years
at a valuation which was but one
half of what has been placed upon
the property by the local board this
year, and that now the railroads do
not claim they are assessed beyond
true value, but merely seek to prove
tnat other property is not assessed at
true value.
The city's law officers will also sab
poena the members of the adjustment
commission of Hudson county and
will show by the records of the COM
mission and the testimony OF the
commissioners that many of the prop-
critics which the railroads claim in
their case have been undervalued by
the local tax board have been before
the adjustment commission, and that
taxes have been RENTED against
them ca the ground that previous
assessments were too high. There
will be much of this property put in
evidence. Many of the appeals to the
adjustment commission were made
by William D. Edwards, counsel to
the railroads. and were on private
property in this city.

From Effects of ErysipeIas.

Mrs. Reggie, of State street, went
to the police station this morning ana
reported that Elois Belafsky, of 8
Wayne street, was violently insane.
Chief Burke asked the woman If the
insane mar had been attended by a
doctor. She replied in the afirma-
tive, and said that the factory doc
tor had visited Belofsky. DR.. WIZ
lam r. Ramsay WIS asked by tele
phone about the case, and said that
he was well acquainted with all the
details and that Belafsky was not in
sane, but simply delirious from an
attack of erysipelas. Mrs. Reggie
seemed very much worried over the
case, and did not appear satisfied
with the Doctors report. Accompa-
MED by another woman, she finally
left the station house apparently over
her fright.

SIEVE RAJ CASES IN
DISTRICT COURT TO-DAY

In the district court this morning
the suit of the Amboy Realty Com
pany against Richard Martin was
again brought before Judge Lyon.
The case was partially tried, but was
adjourned until next Thursday. Jo-
seph e. Stricken represented the
plaintiff.
Supplementary proceedings were
started against two men named
Adolf and Ranjoe, of South Amboy.
Sergeant-at-Arms ID. A. Shirley
brought the two men before the
court. The reason for the proceed
ings was because they ~disobeyed some
recent order in regard to paying
money, and unless they comply at
one with the requirements, botl!
may be sent to jail for contempt of
court.
Ten other cases were adjourned.

berger as vice president. Active work
on the power house was started on
April 9, 1906. and at the time it was
announced that current would be sup
piled by August /. Numerous delays,
however, hindered the work, and the
power house was not finished until a

not completely finish their contract

STOKES WORKING FOR
HARMONY IN HUDSON
COnfers with One of Mayor Fagan's
L~ieutenants on Plan to Pacify
Warning Factions.

TRENTON, Nov. 15:-In spite of
statements to the contrary, Governor
Stokes is doing his best Il harmonic
the republican factions in Hudson
county. Last night he dined in Tren-
ton with n of the most ardent adj
mirers of Mayor Mark Pagan, of Jer-
sey City, who, assisted by Corporation
Counsel Geroge l.. Record and other
city officials, has been for three years
trying to depose Secretary of State
Samuel d. Dickinson from the leader
ship of the machine in Hudson coun-
ty.
Friday evening of last week the
governor was the guest of Assistant
Prosecutor George T. Vickers, in Jer-
| sey City. Colonel Dickinson was also
present. Later in the evening the
governor and Colonel Dickinson at
tended a performance in Elks' Hall
for the benefit of Christ Hospital.
1t is now believed that Governor
Stokes came to Jersey City from
Trenton to impress upon Colonel
Dickinson and his lieutenant, Mr..
Vickers. the necessity of making
peace with the Pagan faction and
terminating the fight which aided
materially in electing nearly all the
democratic candidates in Hudson
county and Jersey City at the recent
election.
On Tuesday peace overtures were
made to Mayor Pagan, the proposal
being to drop Colonel Dickinson as
leader if the Faganites would drop
Record. The proposition was prompt
ly rejected, and when Governor
Stokes read the news, he invited one
of the mayors l~ieutenants to dine
with him last night and talk over the
situation in Hudson county.
Whether the conference will result
in Mayor Pagan accepting the pipe of
peace preferred by the organization
faction remains to be seen. Such a
happy result is wished for, however,
by republicans Throughout New Jer-
sey.

SURPRISE FOR
SUPT. KRlEGER
Employees of Cigar Company of
This City and New Brunswick
Tender Him Reception.
NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov.


NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. ID
Probably one of the happiest recol-
lections which William Krieger, SUI.
perintendent of the New Brunswick
and Perth Amboy cigar factories will
carry through life, vas the reception
accorded him last night on the occas-
ion of his fiftieth birthday.
Viereck's cafe was the scene of the
affair and Perth Amboy as well as
New Brunswick was fully repre-
sented.
The Perth Amboy and New Bruins
wick employees of the cigar factory
met here last night for the ostensible
purpose of playing a series of bowling
games at Greenewald's alleys. Two
games were rolled and New Bruins
wick won both, much to the chagrin
of the Amboyans, who had expected
to take at least one game. At the
conclusion of the bowling the Bruins
wickers and their visitors fastened
to Veirick's and there after much jol-
LITIGATION, congratulated Mr.. Krieger
upon his anniversary and the New
Brunswick employees presented him
with a surprise in the form of q
handsome tea set and tray, designed
by Tappen. Louis Sommers, the old
est foreman in the New Brunswick
shop, made the presentation speech
and Mr.. Krieger replied with a neat
speech of acceptance.
Mr.. Krieger was given a further
pleasant surprise by the Perth Amboy
members, who presented him with a
solid gold fountain pen.
With a few appropriate remarks,
Mr.. Sommers then presented each of
the Perth Amboy bowling team with
souvenirs in small boxes with instruc-
lions to open them later in the even
ing. When the boxes were opened,
each box contained a lemon.
During the evening refreshments
were served and piano and vocal Sc
lections were rendered.
The feature of the evening was the
singing in chorus of 'Middlesex,"
written by ]. c. Strauss, accountant
of the New Brunswick Cigar Com
pany and set to the air of Colleen
Bawn."
Frank Mccarthy was chairman of
the committee in charge.
The visitors left for Perth Amboy
at a late hour in the automobile of
Millard Ross, the well known coal
dealer.
The bowling scores were as fol-
Lowe.

CHAUFFEUR KILLED IN
A CAB HOLD-UP.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15:-As a re-
suit of an attempted hold-up, Wiggo
Brandt, a chauffeur, is dead in Roose-
welt Hospital and the police through
out the city are searching for five
companions who were with him in a
large touring car early today. Brandt
was killed by being knocked down by
the automobile in which he had been
going down town with his compan-
ions. The police are trying to learn
whether the six men in the automo-
bile attempted to hold up a hansome
cab or, just as a joke, tried to scare
its two occupants.
Policeman Stephen Finnegan, at
tached to the West Sixty-eighth street
police station, was at S~eventy-third
street and Central Park West early
today when a large touring car, con-
tanning six men, passed bound south.
They seemed to be having a good time
and one of the men was singing.
Ffnnegan watched the car until 1t
was half way between S~eventy-first
and Seventy-second street. At that
point the automobile stopped and
three men jumped out and ran to-
ward a cab that was coming north.
The policeman then heard cries for
help.
