mr.. RECORDS DENIAL.
Did Not Seek Railroad Support, He
Says-La Toilette to Stump.

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 6:-George
l.. Record, corporation counsel of Jer-
sey City, gave out a formal denial
yesterday of the charge made by
State Senator Thomas j.. Hillerv that
Mr.. Record had tried to enlist the aid
OF the Pennsylvania railroad in be-
nall OF the Colby-Fagan movement.
1t Is true said Mr.. Record, that
urged upon Thomas J. Hume and
other representatives of both the
pennsylvania and other railroads,
that the true interests of those roads
required that they should cease at
tempting to control the legislature in
reference to the matter of equal taxa
ton, and should allow a final settle
ment of the question upon the basis
OF the principles involved in the Ar
rowsmith. bill, which proposed that
the railroads should be taxed locally
and not by the state. / am still of
the opinion that the question can
only be settled on the principle of
local taxation, and that is all | have
ever urged upon the railroad COM
panies."
Mr.. Record received a message
from Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette,
of Wisconsin, informing him that the
senator would make a tour of New
Jersey in the week ending September
~ in support of Mr.. Records candi-
dacy for Uuited States senator, to
succeed Senator Dryden.

1WRECKERS IN
LAWS TOLLS.
AdoIph Segal and Two Trust Com
pany Officials In Philadelphia
Give Bail for Trial.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 6. - Three
arrests have been made in connection
with the failure Of the Real Estate
Trust company, which closed its doors
because of a shortage of more than
100000 a few days after the suicide
of its president, Frank X. Nipple.
Those arrested are:
Adolph Segal, the promoter who Dor
rowed $5.300,000 from the company
through President Nipple.
William Il. North, treasurer of the
company, who is supposed to have
known Of the transaction.
Marshall s. Collingwood, assistant
treasurer
The warrants charge conspiracy and
elnbeZzlement. In the case of the two
bank officers there are the additional
charges of making false returns to the
banking commissioner and perjury.
Segal's bail was fixed at $4,000. The
other two prisoners were held in SO.
600 each. In each case cash security
was furnished. The warrants were is.
sued by Magistrate Kochersperger ut
the instance of District Attorney Bell.
Walter c. Browning, a depositor in the
trust company, made the affidavit.
The arrests had been expected and
came as no surprise either to the pub
lie or the defendants, who had provid-
ed themselves in advance with coun-
sci. The lawyers appeared at the brief
arraignment in the city hall immedi-
ately after the arrests. At the request
of A. l.. S. Shields. one of the best
known members of the local bar, who
has been retained by Segal, the hear
ing was set for today.
Accompanied by their counsel and
bondsmen, the three men appeared be-
fore Magistrate Kochersperger in the
central station ut the city hall to com
ply with the formality of entering bail
for their appearance ut the hearing.
President Nipples last message,
made public by his son after the ar
rest of Segal and the two officers of
the Real Estate Trust company, was,
II have been fooled; Segal got all the
money"

PICK C. O. p. TICKETS
AT A M~ASSMEETING

PLAINFIELD, Sept. 6:-For the
first time on record the nominees of
the republican party here are to be
chosen at a massmeeting to be held
at the Casino, Monday night, a call
having been issued jointly by the ex-
ecutive and the advisory committees
of the party Tuesday night. The
purpose of the popular meeting, as
explained by Secretary Townsend, of
the regulars executive committee. is
to name candidates for the various
city offices, members of the city and
county committees and delegates to
the city, county and congressional
conventions to be voted for at the
primaries September %.
The novel plan is in pursuance of
the announcement made sometime
ago by the city executive committee,
when it was declared that in the fut-
ure it would not dictate, indorse or
suggest any candidate for Office.
Moreover, it declared, that the selec-
ton of all candidates would be left to
a committee of 125 citizens chosen
irrespective of factional affiliations.
This body named the advisory com
mittee, which is headed by former
Mayor Alexander Gilbert. It's COM
pleXion was made known Tuesday
night, and it consists of representa-
tive citizens of all walks in life and OF
all shades of affiliations in the repub-
lican ranks.
The nominations to be made by
this popular convention in advance of
the regular city convention will in
clude the mayoralty, the freebooter
ships and the ward councilmen. So
far as the city eXecutiveship is con
cerned there is not the least doubt,
according to those on the inside, that
former Mayor Charles Joel Fiske will
be the choice of the regulars to sue
coed Mayor Buckle. The Colbyites
will hold their city convention to-
night in Reform Hall, and it is quite
probable that r. Henry Depew will
be the mayoralty choice.

THIS FELLOW WANTS
A DUNELLEN GIRL.
RanCher in North Dakota Asks
Mayor WyCkOff to Help
Him Wed.

DUNELLEN, Sept. 6:-Echoes of
the story of Dunellen's beauless
maids, which was published two
years ago., are still travelling about
the west. And the west, with char
acteristis gallantry and wife-hunger,
hastens to the rescue of the manless
girls.
The offer of the west to save the
old maids of Dunellen from contin-
ued single-blessedness came Monday
to Mayor Wyckoff from John Rinack7
er, of Perry, North Dakota. John
wrote a letter to the mayor, Offering
himself and fifty other strong and
able North Dakotans to the old maids
of Dunellen.
Rinacker writes that he has just
read of Dunellen's population of old
maids. He wants Mayor Wyckoff to
pick one of them out for him and
send her to Perry to be married.
Rinacker describes himself as a
young man, a rancher and well-to-do.
He has a preference for a dark dam
sci, somewhere in the neighborhood
of twenty-five.
He says there are fifty other wife,
less men in and about Perry who are
yearning for helpmates, and fifty
Dunellen lasses would be EMBODIED to
as many manly bosoms, if they came
west. He is sure the girls would be
happy.
Rinacker evidently is very much in
earnest. He authorizes the mayor to
draw on him for $50, to pay expenses
and for his time in finding him a wife.
The mayor doesn't know just exactly
what to do, but he holds himself
ready to consider applications from
dark young women who may wiYl to
go on a North Dakota ranch. The
commission for fifty other brides he
is afraid he cannot fill.

S. l. BUDGET
is DOUBLED.
President Cromwell Wants Near
Iy a Million Dollars for Need
ed Improvements in Borough.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-President
Cromwell, of the Borough of Rich
mond, has sent in his estimate of the
needs of the borough for 1907, and
according to his budget it will take
nearly twice as much to run the Dor
ough for 1907 as for 1906. He asks
for $997,299 or $4S6,S1O more than
this year, when he procured $780,
4S0.
Fol- the general administration of
ms W office Mr.. Cromwell wants an
increase of $19,390. The cost last
time was $35,S00. The bureau of
engineering asks for an increase of
$4,000 from $4,000 for this year.
Inc bureau of highways, President
cromwell believes, requires an in
crease of $194,350 over the $50, 900
received for 1906. The bureau of
sewers estimate is $40, 900 over that
OF 1906, which is $4,000. The street
cleaning department of the borough
will have to have $751; 900 more than
this year, and needs in all $331,6O0.
For the bureau of public buildings
ohN ChhSCo dh III ease VI psi /, UUU ON-
er the $4,000 received this year, is
asked. The bureau of buildings
wants $19,025 more. 1t obtained
$4,000 for 1906. Many increases
of salaries and additional employees in
the various departments are asked.
President Cromwell, in explaining
the increased estimate of the number
of improvements, say that the st.
George terminal is to cost $765, 900,
and a number of improvements are
to be made in streets and ewers. The
chief reason is the large amount of
assessable improvement work. He
says unless the $4,000 additional
for intermediate needs is granted it
will be impossible to keep up the pub
lie improvements.
Controller Metz announced yester-
day that he had approved the con-
tract with the Richmond Light and
Power Company, of Staten Island.
He held up the contract a few days
ago on account of complaints about
poor service, and the quality of the
lighting and lamps. The controller
said there was no other way out of it.
He said that If the Richmond COM
pany did not get a contract there
would be no light over there for
some time, and that some light was
better than no light at all.
Acting Mayor MCGOWAN inspected
the plant of the Edison company in
East 3Sth street, yesterday, with
Charles F. Lacombe, chief engineer
of light and power of the department
of water supply, gas and electricity.
The latter pointed out the improved
devices in the machinery, and the
mayor, when he comes home, will
probably suggest that the Richmond
company make some improvements.
1t was limited that the city might
consider an offer from the Edison
company for lighting Staten Island.
