tion bill, in 1902 or 1908. passed by the
House, and also by the Senate
Some said that the Senators suspected
the House had been posing before the
temperance folks and putting the blame
for killing the bills onto the Senate. 1t
is said that some of the Representatives
who voted for the no-liquor. provision
looked hurt and astonished when they
found that the Senate hadn't cut it out.
However that may be. the bill passed,
the president signed it, and Congressman
have either gone dry or kept private
stock ever since.
Now, if Congress passes a new immi-
grafton and naturalization law, it has got
to pass the po-liquor law over again, for
the simple reason that the new law will
repeal the old one. If the no-liduor sec
ton is left out of the new law. there
will be no law against opening the bars
again. and as the committee isn't look
ing or trouble with the temperance peo-
pie thisN year the same section against
selling liquor in the capital that is in the
present law is in the new bill.

THIS is REPUBLICAN, NIGHT
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON THE
ORPHANS FROM THE VARIOUS
CITY HOMES ENJOYED THE
SHOW TO THEIR HEARTS CON
TENT.

Last night was Democratic nghs" at
the annual police show which is going
on at the Bijou Theatre all this week
Another immense audience filed the
house. Not a single seat was unoccupied

rear of the orchestra circle. Robert Da-
Wis. Hudson's Democratic leader, with a
party of friends. including ladies, occu-
pied one of the lower boxes Leaders of
ward organizations and even some from
other municipalities of the county were
prominent in the audience. Among Mr.
Davis's guests We're Big Tom Foley.
and Senator Reardon, of New York.
Several of Mr.. Davis's sons We're with
him. Coraelius J. Cronin, Dennis Gala

Conway, Clerk Charles Fsterbrook. of
the Fire Board, Street and Water Com
missioners Anthony Hauck, James S.
Nolan and Thomas r. Rooney occupied
prominent seats. While the audience was
composed principally of Democrats there
were also many Republicans present.
Tonight will be Republican night, .
and Col. Samuel D. Dickinson and many
of his followers will attend the perform
ance
Last nights performance ran off even
more smoothly than that of the night be-
fore. The programme remained un-
changed. but many new local hits and
gags were sprung by the players.
Yesterday afternoons performance was
attended by nearly all the orphan chill
dren of the various homes and asylums
of the city. The children of st. Joseph's
Home, in York street, were not able to
attend on account of few cases of mea
sles at the Home. But they were not
forgotten. The boxes of candies intended
for them were sent to the Home. Each
of the children who attended the show
was handed box of candy on entering
the theatre. All of them enjoyed the
music, the funny antics of the come
dians, and other features of the show
A pathetic feature, however, was the
scene of the children from st. Joseph's
Home for the Blind. They occupied two
whole rows directly in front of the stage
and while they could not see what was
going on they showed by their counte-
nances that they thoroughly appreciated
all they could hear. They were brought
down from the Home and sent back
after the show in a special trolley car.
All the children who attended were "
corted by big policemen.

COAST LINE UNDER FIRE

The Board of Trade last night receiv-
ed forfS9fve applications. The main por-
ton of the meeting was taken up with a
discussion of the Coast Line Telephone
Company, proposition to establish plant
in Jersey City in competition with the
New York and New Jersey Telephone
Company's proposition to establish a
plant in Jersey City in competition with
the New York and New Jersey Telephone
Company.
Lawyer William E. Midlige criticized
the Boards committee that reported to
the Street and Water Board its findings
concerning the new telephone company's
application for franchise in that it did
not say a word commendatory of the
company. Mungo G. Currie, chairman
of the Board of Trades Committee, de-
clared that some of the statements made
by Mr. Midlige were untrue. Henry
Lauterbaeh, who was in the chair, took
the floor and attacked the new Coast
Line Company. He is president Of the
Lincoln Trust Company. Considerable
excitement prevailed during the discus
sion. Mr.. Currie made verbal supple
mentary report to that presented to the
Street and Water Commissioners.

the County Board of Appeals Commits
sioners lis being flooded with letters urg-
ing him to give the appointments to GER
tain favolites Of the Dickinson and Fa-
gan Republicans. The Faganites are
certain that the Governor will not ignore
them entirely, and that at least one Of
the new commissioners will be selected
from among the followers of the Mayor.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1906-04-18

Col Dickinson will urge the appoint
ment of organization Republicans. He
will insist that the Faganites should not
be given any recognition. One of the
three members of the Board will be a
Democrat, the law providing for minor
ity representation. In all probability Coy.
Stokes will consult Senator Minturn and
be governed in measure, at least, by
any recommendation he may make. As
the salary Of the Commissioners is fixed
at S2,400 per annum, they are regarded
as desirable berths, and there are any
number of candidates including Pagan
ties, Dickinsonites and Democrats.

No matter in what light the raid by
Detective-sergeant Frank Monahan on
the Tenth Ward Democratic Club is
viewed, it sayors of politics. Poker is
played in every club of political or
senli-political character in Jersey City,
and there was no reason why this par
ticplar club should have been singled
out. President Potts accepts the respon-
sibility for the raid, declaring that a
complaint had been made against the
place. He confesses that he did not
know it was the headquarters of Dem
oeratic Club. Incorporated under the laws
invasion as any other organization SINH
larly formed.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1906-04-18

Even though President Potts did re-
ceiye complaint. was he justified in or
dering a raid without first making sure
that the place was resort for gam
blers? The impression prevails that in
ignoring Chief Murphy and turning the
complaint over to Mayod Fagan's pri-
vate detective it was evidence of the fact
that politics was back of the raid. Chief
Murphy never hesitates to perform his
duty. and the statement that he had ig-
nored a similar complaint is a reelection
on him that he will probably resent. The
police court hearing may bring out facts
that wilr show what prompted the un-
warranted arrest of the Tenth Ward
Democratic Club members.

Pat had heard about the fortunes

he would try his luck. He went down
stairs before every race, but didn't
find any odds that suited him until
the last race. 1t was a large gray
horse. l don't remember its name,
but It suited Pat all right, for 1t had
SOL after it.
Pat put up his dollar and went up
stairs tc see the race. His horse won
oy a neck. Pat hurried downstairs
with a lively step to cash in his
check.
It was the last race Of the day and
the bookmaker was anxious to get
rid Of his silver, therefore Pat was
paid with silver dollars.
Pat stood there few minutes fum-
bling over his handful Of silver dol

There Is growing use in this coun.

the colleges there have adopted the
system and eventually it Is expected
that the many standards now in com.
mon use in ,he United States will
give place to the more simple, exact
and scientific one.standard of the
metric system. At the suggestion Of
Mr. S. W. Stratton there is one acad-
