WASHINGTON, May IL, 1906
Referring to the invitation of the Secre-
tary of War to the Governor Of New
Jersey to send two brigades of infantry
here on October 16 next, to participate
in the ceremonies incident to the unveil-
ing of the monument to the late General
George B. Mcclellan, in an interview
Senator Dryden said
81 hope it may lbe found practicable to
send the five regiments of infantry in ac-
cord with the request of Secretary Taft.
1t will be an excellent opportunity to mo-
bilize the infantry of the State, and in
my opinion, it is desirable that New Jer-
sey should have the best possible repre-
sentation here for an occasion that will
be in honor of a former Governor. As
has been stated, it would be splendid
advertisement for New Jersey, and for
that reason, as well as Others it is hoped
that the arrangement may be made to
send all of the infantry"
''The State would not be left unpro-
tected, for it would have two troops of
cavalry, the Signal Corps and two bat
teries of artillery, and, in the event of
need, one or two regiments of infantry
could be rushed home in about FIVE hours
from Washington. I hope, therefore,
that this imaginery fear that the State
will not be properly protected may not
interfere with the sending of the five reg
iments. I do not apprehend any serious
danger in the temporary absence of the
major portion of the National Guard, be
cause the time at smost would not be
more than day and half"
Senators Kean and Dryden have re-
ceived a communication from the New
ark Board of Trade, and similar COM
munication from the Board of Trade of
Elizabeth, favoring the removal of the
duty on denatured alcohol. They have

William Nelson, Of Paterson, CORE

Historical Society, has written to mem
bers of the New Jersey delegation asking
them to support a resolution which pro-
yides for the publication of the names of
heads of families returned at the first
census in 1870. He states that the
names have never been printed and the
. original lists are becoming greatly worn
, with use He declares that the publica-
tion of the names would be of benefit to
historical societies and students in gem
: eral
! Senator Dryden has taken up the case
! of Solomon Woolworth, of Newark, a
) veteran of the Civil War, who is now
