Difference Of Opinion As to
the Merits Of Candidates
for Court Clerk Ends In
Fisticu ifs
FIFTY FIGHTERS In THE FIELD
MEETING ADJOURNED AMID THE
ROW, BUT WHEN IT HAD END
ED BUSINESS WAS RESUMED
AND THOMAS DURKIN WAS EN-
DORsED

There was heated argument at last
nights meeting of the Mark Pagan Asso-
ciation 1t ended in a pretty general
melee. The trouble arose over the in
dorsement of candidate for clerk of
the Second Criminal Court Two mem
bers of the association wanted to be in
dorsed-Thomas Durkin, who had the
support of the members who hold offices;
and Peter Donnelan, whose supporters
are those members of the club who do
not hold Office
William Whitley, one of Durkin's
warmest supporters, and an employee at
the City Hall, made a speech in which
he roundly criticised the opposition and
made a few sharp references to Donne-
Ian. AS he took his seat Donnelan went
up to him and demanded to know why
he had made sucn 6 vigorous attack.
Whitley told him to be quiet. Donnelan,
throwing off his coat, dealt Whitley
singing blow, and in minute they were
rolling over the floor.
The chairman adjourned the meeting
while half hundred members engaged
in a fight When they had had enough
the meeting was resumed and Durkin
was indorsed by large majority.

When Porter John Burns reached the
City Hall early this morning he was sur
prised to see rustic looking couple
seated on the front stoop. Burns had
some work on hand that necessitated an
earlier visit than usual to the munlclpal
building. The man wore large brlm-
med straw hat, linen clothes, including
dnster from one of the pockets Of
which dangled a portion of red BAN
danna. In the dialect of a rural South
Jerseyman he accosted Burns and asked
him what time would the Squire
reach the building. The man explained
in answer to Burnss questions that ne
and his girl companion wanted to be
"spliced"
The couple blew into town with the
ssoxvr, train which arrives shortly before
daylight. They walked up Exchange
place and Montgomery street. and by M
curing of '.constables" found the loca-
tiop of the City Hall. 1t was not very

that Justice of the Peace Z. A. Ransom
happened along. Burns put him wise 10

money and was anxious to have nome

ME d. Yaeger. of Blaseville, Cumberland
Oounty. She said she had been employ
ed as cook for the farm hands OF one
John Rotterdam; that she and Baker
had met at county fair last summer
and fell in love with each other. 1t was
decided to come to Jersey City to get
married and spend days honeymoon at

put the girl through a sort of third de-

that she was sixteen years old and that
she had neither lzith nor kin, her parents
having died when she was child. The
nuptual knot was then tied by Justice
of the Peace Ransom.
After making some inquiries about the
ship that sails to Coney Island, the
couple took their departure and doubt

MERELY
MENTIONED

The Liquor Dealers Association is in
session this afternoon and Mayor Fa-
gan's political move to raise the license
fee from $3.50 to $500 is the topic Of
discussion. That the liquor dealers feel
they are being unjustly treated by the
administration was evident from the con-
versation of many members before the
meeting. A determined stand will be
taken to defeat the proposed increase.
The liquor dealers fear that if the IL
cense is raised by Mayor Fagan's retir-
ing board it will remain at the $500 fig
ure for many years to come as no future
board would care to risk public disap-
proval by reducing the rate:

broad-minded citizens. who are out in the
worlds markets to win, who recognize
the absurdity of demanding an open door
in China and closed one at home, and
are willing to give Roland for an Oil
YER
sThe Chinese exclusion laws have got
to be modified, and it is for Congress to
decide how
eff the coolie is really such a terrible
fellow that the American workingman
cannot meet him on equal terms, then
let him on unequal terms. Limit the
member admitted in any one year or ad-
NIT only skilled artisans or those with
property qualification. Forbid his buying
land in this country and make it impos-
sible for him to become citizen. If the
American nottingham is afraid to meet
him on these conditions he is a coward
indeed.
"But a far more practical way, and
one which would arouse little or no re
sentiment anywhere, is to open the doors
freely to him in our insular possessions.
The Sandwich Islands, Guam, the Phil
ippines, Porto Rico, all need him. Eff
cient, tireless labor is scarce in all these
places and commands good prices The
Philippines, especially, need the Chinese
merchant, artisan and coolie. A residence

couragement to immigration given them
by the Spanish Government, who knew
their worth, their numbers never exceed

Here then, is a practical answer to
our difficulties. Open the doors of the
United States conditionally to limited
number of coolies and the doors of our
colonies Internationally. The Philippines
are Oriental ground and it is no shock
to the feelings of it's inhabitants to adj

'We shall thus gain the good viii of

feel their hostility and be able to cope
with other nations on equal footing in
their struggle for hiatt prize of the Ori-

From information received by the
