Probably there isn't one person in

Why?
Because he Is a millionaire. Who

1t is announced that the defense

claimed that Thaw was perfectly
sane before he shot White, then be-
came Insane while he did the shoot
ing and then became sane again and
so he is now. A kind of looping-the-

Who ever heard tell of such a de-

1t will, for Thaw is a millionaire, and

ed with an attack upon Theodore
Strong in which Mr.. Fordyce tells of
his troubles in the legislature and OF
his subsequent woes because he
would not be good and do as re-
quested."
AS an instance of unfair treatment
of Col. Fordyce and his friends, many
of whom are doubtless readers of the
Chronicle, not to speak of journals
tic narrowness, this case is hard to
match, and will be remembered. On
ly five months ago, the Chronicle
was bitterly ~denouncing Strong and
Jackson we the matter of the Judge
ship appointment, and it's editor was
the personal spokesman of the Gar
field Battery before Governor Stokes
in regard to what it claimed was the
unfair treatment of Perth Amboy.
The editor even told the governor IN
Senator Jackson's presence that
Perth Amboy was Disguised and dis
appointed with its senator, and would
he no worse off If a democrat were
chosen as his successor.
Editorially, the Chronicle called
for a new deal in county politics, and
ave expression to the sentiment that
If Perth Amboy voters continued to
support Strong and his candidates 1t
deserved to receive such treatment
all the time.
In a word, it vas opposed to
| Strong and his man Friday, and bit
terly so. What a change has come
over the spirit of their dreams In a
few short months! Has strong chang
ed? Can the leopard change his
spots? Are the conditions complain
ed about by the Chronicle last Feb-
ruary improved? Ask any ten voters
YOU meet on the streets of Perth Am
bow or this city. What then Is re-
| sponsible for the most remarkable
| change of heart on the part OF n
| Chronicle? Careful inspection OF n
inside pages of the paper furnish the
reason, in the advertising supplied
by Boss Strong's sheriff, and h
Chronicle qualities with the Home
News as a pap" seeking organ,
whose columns are at the service OF
the man who feeds 1T, regardless OF
all considerations of right or wrong
No condemnation can be too severe
| for a newspaper that is willing TO sell
it's sacred birthright of independence
TO a boss and corporation lobbyist for
a few paltry sheriff's sales. Such a
sheet is but a fostering sore on the
locality whose citizens 1t willingly
sells out so cheaply, and no good ex-
cuse remains for it's existence. NOT
a whit less culpable is the man who
as a sworn servant of the wnole
people of a county, so prostitutes ms
high and honorable position as to use
the peoples advertising placed by
him but paid for by them, in a paper
of small circulation, and still smaller
influence, having alone in view the
support which such business will buy
for the fast waning cause OF an q
GUS political boss.
1t is with no degree of pleasure
that we say these things, as the writ
err has for years entertained a feeling
of high regard for both Editor Pick
ersgill and Sheriff Church, and {
wear ago would not have believed O.
either gentleman what he now see
as the true condition. They have

HAMBURGER'S EXTENSION
FOR BIG DEPARTMENT STORE
sIxTY-FooT LOT ON BROADWAY
LEASED FOR FIFTY YEARS
Details of the Important Deal That
VIII Make the Eighth and Broad
way Store Largest on the Pacific
coast-eIgantio Enterprise

Rapid progress has been made in
completing excavations for the Greater
Hamburger department store that will
occupy the southwest corner of Broad
way and Eighth street, extending
through to Hill street.
AS previously announced, the Ham
burger Realty and Trust company has
leased for a term of fifty years the Co.
foot frontage on Broadway, adjoining
the excavation. from the Lang estate,
| just north of Ninth street The lease
Will begin on January /, 1907, at which
time the Hamburgers will commence
the erection of building in size and
appearance to the great building now
| being erected.
President D. A. Hamburger states
that with the lease secured from the
Lang estate, the Hamburger company
owns all the property in the block with
the exception of lis feet on the north
west corner of Ninth and Broadway,
owned by J. ID. Hooker, and AZ feet
| just south of the so feet leased yes
terday, owned by H. S. Williams
The Hamburgers have made over
lures to both these owners for 80
year lease. so that they might con-
struct a building covering the entire
block from Eighth to Ninth street on
|
struction and height, but neither of
these owners would consent to lease.
! Mr.. Hamburger wishes 1t distinctly
understood that the department store
building is going ahead as fast as ma
| terial men and money can erect it,
and that they will be in the building,
barring accidents of an unavoidable
nature, in June, 1907.
Evidence of Confidence
The interest and confidence of this
company in the future of the south
western portion of the city is evidenced
by the fact that yesterday they de-
clined to change the rate of interest
from to 5 per cent, which was the
one thing standing in the way of the
sale of 81 feet on Broadway between
Eighth and Ninth, east side, at $25OO
a foot. A month ago this property
could have been bought from them at
S235O, and on January 20 it could have
been bought for $2250.
| Three months ago, said Mr.. Hambur-
| ger, he offered to bet the president OF
one of the largest savings institutions
| In San Francisco that Los Angeles in
ten years would have more population
| than San Francisco. The proposition
was ridiculed, but he now believes that
you could cut the time down to five
years and give considerable allow
ance at that.
He says Los Angeles is destined to
be the greatest city west of Chicago.
"and twenty years from now 1t will
extend from the mountains to the sea.
There is no place like it on the face
of the earth that combines the cli-
matte conditions and commercial i'm
portance that renders it an ideal place
for home and business, and so long as
the sun continues to shine down upon
us as it does today so long VIII we
continue to improve and prosper"
