ed Hasbrouck Hall What
His Race Has Aocomp-
lished
MAYOR FAGAA PRESIDES
BISHOP WALTER AND OTHER
WELL-KNoWN MEN ON THE
PLATFoRM-BANoUET TO THE
LECTURER.

Booker T. Washington, who is at the
head of the head OF the Tuskagee Normal
Institute, in Georgia, and as the foremost
representative of the negro race in Amer
lea, delivered an interesting lecture last
night in Hasbrouck's Hall. An admis-
sion fee Of % cents was charged, and
nearly 1000 persons filed the hall. The
audience was composed principally Of

there was very large sprinkling Of
whites.
Mayor Pagan presided at the meeting.
On the stage were also seated DR.. VIII
liam H Lewis, who is at the head of the
Jersey City Board of Education; the Rev.
c. O'Donnen and Comptroller Thomas
McEwan, Jr.
Bishop Albert Walters welcomed the
audience and in presenting Mayor Pagan
as the presiding officer, alluded to him
as a liberty loving man" and who is
out for square deal, whether it be for
the whites or blacks
They Mayor said he was highly honor
ed to preside at such a meeting and that
Jersey City felt honored with the pres
ence of such highly educated man as
Mr.. Booker T. Washington.
The latter confined himself almost ex-
clusively to questions and problems con-
cerning his race. He explained his mis-
sion in an effort to raise 81 800, 600 to
en5ow the great institute he has founded.
His utterances were sreeted with consid-
erable applause. He gave very graph
ic description of his travles and his re-
ceptions in many States, North and
South, and said he felt fiahttered with
the one accorded him in this city.
George Bates. private secretary to
General Superintendent Frank L. Shep-
pard, of the New York Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. also made stir
ring address. Mr.. Bates is a colored
man, who has demonstrated the value of
the education Of his race, such as that
for which Booker T. Washington is
striving.
The addresses were interspersed with
vocal solos by George NJ. Washington
(no relation to Booker T. Washington.
The noted lecturer was banqueted be-
fore the Hasbrouck meeting by Bishop

MENTIONED


The ordinance prohibiting the use OF
bells on junk wagons will not be repealed
by the aid of Democratic votes. This has
been decided upon. If the Faganites and
Dickinson Republicans in the Board of
Aldermen are anxious to please their
Italian friends they can repeal the ordi-
nance without asking their Democratic
colleagues for any aid. Alderman Bilby
who introduced the repeater is a Dickin-
son Republican. He is from the Fifth
Ward. Alderman McNeill, who wanted
to be the author Of the repeater, but who
was headed off by Bilby, is a Pagan
Republican and is protege of City Hall
Custodian Connolly. The Faganites and
the Dickiasonites have promised TO have
the bell ordinance repealed. The Demo-
Gratis are going to let them settle the
matter between them.

FRANCHISE HEARING

Especial to 'aThe Jersey City News.")
TRENTON. Feb. IA. 19o6.-The Ju-
dietary and Municipal Corporations
Committees of the House gave a public
hearing yesterday afternoon on the two
franchise taxation bills now before the
Assembly. One was introduced by AS
semblyman Martin, the Record Colby
leader, and provides for a franchise tax
upon all corporations except municipal
railroads and canals: the State Board of
Assessors to annually find and assess the
value Of the rights, title. interest. privi-
lege or franchise owned by any person,
company on corporation. and certify the
same to the local assessors in each taxing
district, who shall tax the same at the
local rate for the benefit of the local
taxing district.
The second bin was offered by Assem-
blyunan Calvin, of Jersey City. and
amends the Voorhees, Franchise Act Of
1900 by providing that an annual fran
chise tax of FIVE per centum shall be
levied upon the annual gross receipts of
all persons, co-partnerships, associa tions,
or corporations other than municipal,
railroads and canals
As was to be expected, the Record
Fagan-Colby followers held the centre
of the stage during the hearing, as the
granchise taxation question is one Of
their pet measures and furnished them
with excellent campaign material last
fall.
Senator Colby acted as ringmaster for
the show.
Corporation Counsel George L. Record
was the next speaker. He also advocated
the Martin bill but disapproved Of the
Calvin measure because it did not tax
franchises according to their actual value.
Former Assemblyman Harrison Van
Duyne said the Newark Board Of Trads
favored the Martin bill and Sheriff Frank
H. Somers, of Essex County. entered in
to a lengthy. discussion of the entire fran
ehise question, showing where they
should be taxed
Al Assemblyman Galvin's request tbs
committee adjourned the hearing untll
this afternoon to enable Prosecutor WI.
liam Fl. Speer. Counsellor Howard B
Cruise and Counsellor Cudipps of Jer
sey City, to present theis arguments ID

The Judiciary Committee Of
the Senate Reports Favor
ably on Senator Minturn's
Resolution
1T ASKS FOR A COMMISSION
GOVERNOR TO APPOINT THREB
MEN TO CONFER WITH A LIKE
NUMBER FROM NEW YORK AS
TO THE ADvIsABILITY OF
BRIDGING THE RIVER.
Special to ..rhe Jersey CITY News. .,


TRENTON, Feb. IA, 19O6.-The
Judiciary Committee of the Senate today
reported favorably Senator Minturn's
joint resolution providing that Governor
Stokes appoint commission of three to
confer with the Governor AND Legislature
of New York looking to the appointment
of joint commission of both New York
and New Jersey for the purpose Of pur-
chasing the necessary lands and water
rights and Of securing the necessary fed
eral consent to the construction of one or
more bridges over the North River be-
tween Fourteenth street, Hoboken and
Exchange Place, Jersey City, to site in
New York city to be agreed upon by the
joint commission.
As the joint resolution was approved
by Senators Hillery and Wakelee, two
strong administration leaders, Senator
Minturn is confident that both Houses
will adopt it, as every measure bearing
the administration or State House rings
approval has more than a fighting chance
of being adopted. The Senate will prob
ably act on the resolution at its session
this afternoon, and if adopted it will be
Immediately dispatched to the House for
its concurrence.
Senator Minturn is enthusiastic over
the bridge scheme and believes that if
New Jersey Commission lays the mat
ter before Governor Higgins and the
New York Legislature in proper light
as proposition that would be of vast
benefit to the people of both States, New
York will sanction the scheme. He
claims that traffic on the North Rive:
is so congested with commerce that it is
almost perillous for ferry-boats, to make
a trip across with safety. He believes
that one or two bridges will enable the
PSVpie " tSaeh tAeli AoiHes III NEW y er
sey and go to their places of business in
New York more quickly and much more
safely than by boat. Within few
years he believes it will be impossible TO
cross the river by boat with safety.
The entire bridge scheme hinges upon
the acquiescenee of New York. If the
Governor and Legislature of that State
should refuse to sanction it the entire
proposition will peter out, as without
New Yofk's assistance this State viii
not undertake the building of any
bridge. Both States would have to bear
the expense Jointly.

AN EXHAUSTIVE OPINION
HOUSE ADOPTS A RESOLUTION
ASKING FOR AN OPINION ON
THE CoNsTITUTIoNALrTY OBJ
THE ARRowsMIIH BILL.
espseIal % .-rhs Jerssy csty Nsw..,,


TRENTON, Feb. IA, 19O6.-Accord-
ing to Ahtorney-Ge McCarter, either
the scheme contained in the Perkins
equal taxation bill or that in the Calvin
bill meets all constitutional requirements,
while the Martin BILL presented on be-
half of the Record-Fagan-Colby forces
would not stand constitutional test.
These views of the Attorney-General
were contained in an opinion rendered by
him yesterday to the House Of Assembly
in response to a request that he examine
the various tax measures introduced and
pass upon their constitutionality.
The Perkins bill provides for the taxa
tion of main stem railroad property by
the State at the average local rate for
the benefit of the State, while the Calvin
bill provides for the taxation of all rail-
road property by the local authorities at
the local rates and for local uses. One
or the other of these bills will doubtless
be passed by the Legislature and under
either scheme the railroads will be re-
quired to pay about $4,O00000 in taxes,
where they now pay about 81 100000.
ArtoFney-General McCarter's opinion
is an exhaustive treatise of the princi-
pies of railroad and canal taxation: re-
cites copicuely from opinions that have
been rendered on the subject from time
TO time, and goes minutely into the de
tails of all the bills that We're referred
to him.
At the request Of Assemblyman Ar
rowsmith, of Hoboken. the House adopt
ed a resolution asking the Attorney
General for an opinion regarding the
constitutionality of the Arrowsnlith bill
which was introduced after the Attorney
General was given the other equal tax
bills to consider 1t is drawn along the
lines of the Calvin bill, with the addition
that it provides for the taxation of rail-
road franchises by the State Board Of
Assessors.

shot into the Republican ranks by call
ing attention to the fact that although
the Legislature had been in session near
" six weeks nothing in the line of i'm

of the State were interested had been en-
acted He attributed this condition of
affairs to the various committees which
had important bills in their possession
and refused to report them.
The Republican Senators acknowleslg-
ed the truth of Mr.. Minturn's charges,
but tried to place the entire responsible
ity for failure upon the House of Assem-
bly,, claiming that the House committees

We're just as many important bills tied
up in the Senate committees by their re-
fusal to report as there were in the
House. and that it would be to the SEN
ate's credit to take some action on them
at an early date, as sine die adjournment
was near at hand.
Senators Hillery, Wakelee, Horner
and Mckee agreed with the Hudson
Senator, and as a result it was decided
to request the committees to report the
hills more promptly than heretofore.
That Senator Minturn's words or
warning bore fruit was evidenced at the
close Of the Senate session. Nearly all
the committees held meetings and agreed
to report large number of bills.
