within the past month requests have
been made by several large French
concerns for American car agencies
From one center in Paris the PROPOSE
ton has actually been made that the
tour ought to be prohibited.
Let the American cars enter our
races and competitive tests, if they
wish to show what they are capable
Of says one of the French motor jour
nails, "or if the tour must go on, let
French cars enter on an equality with
the American vehicles"
Others, however, realizing that the
tour is a settled fact, adopt a more
lenlent policy, and are offering the
glad hand. Says Charles FarouX, one
of the leading automobiles in
France:
The organizers of the tour have
wished to prove to the Yankees that a
tour of Europe is not especially re
served to a few wealthy persons, but
that a party of five can travel through
our wonderful countries in automo-
biles cheaper than by rail and in the
hands of an agent who will provide
far more comforts than is usually pos.
sible from most of the foreign
agencies. This is not an American in
yasion, for transatlantic manufac'
turers know full we'll that the hour Of
Yankee commercial superiority will
certainly not be in 1907. 1t is pro
ject of the highest interest, which can,
not fail to impress the prosperity of
our tourist regions. That is why we
will accord all our assistance to the
American motorists and assure them
of welcome as worthy of them as Of
ourselves"
The cars competing for the gold cup
will be subject to the following penal
ties, arranged on the point system,
and the winner will be the car losing
the fewest points on the entire trip:

MARTIN FOR LEADER
--
ESSEX ASSEMBLY DELEGA-
TON AGREES.
Conference Last Night, However, Was
Not Formal-No Chance for Speak
ership Coming to Essex County.

For more than an hour last night
eight of the eleven Essex Assembly
menf.elect had an "ante-Governor's
Day. conference at Republican head
quarters, Academy and Halsey streets,
but it was informal because of the
absence of William Fellowes Morgan,
Henry G.. Hines and Austen Colgate.
The c~onferees agreed that Assembly
man-elect William P. Martin had no
show to become Speaker of the House
of Assembly, but it was thought that
concerted efforts on the part of the
members in the State House today
might bring about the selection of Mr..
Martin for majority leader. No vote
was taken on the matter out of defer
ence to the absentees.
The members answering the call of
County Chairman Alfred, N. Dalrymple be-
gan to assemble early and by 8 o'clock
Assemblymen-elect Martin, Henry Young,
jr.. Rudolph A. Braun, DR.. James Lowrey,
John i. Clark, August J. Miller. William
Roberts and H. Stacy Smith were ready TO
get together.
The question of patronage was quickly
disposed of, for the reason that the caucus
had not been called as yet. nor a steering
committee appointed. Nobody knew what

little time was devoted to it. There are
forty-four jobs for forty members-a great
task for distribution The member
thought they would cross no bridges until
they came to them-the crossing will be
difficult enough at the proper tome, it was
said.
Chairman Dalrymple, of the county conf
mittee, who is also Essex member of the
State committee, was of the belief that

the State leaders evidently having settled
on a man from some other county.
The discussion drifted then to the ma
jority leadership. The members thought
that they were within their rights In max
ing a fight for that place. The opinion
was so general on this point that it was
proposed that a vote be taken on the sub
ject, having the conference develop into a
caucus so that the members would be
united on this In Trenton today. The abb
sence of Messrs. Colgate, Hines and Nor
gan was called to mind and action was
delayed.
TIL ms and outs of the political game
that is being played in the corridors at
the State House today were explained to
the new members by Messrs. Martin and
Dalrymple, who have had the experience.
The members were shown the various
methods of acting wisely. All the mem
beers present promised to go to the capital
today.
County Chairman Dalrymple was happy
after the conference, and said that he was
perfectly pleased Will the harmony that
existed in the delegation. Whatever ac-
ton is to be taken In the future by the
delegation looking to organization will be
done on the initiative of the members
themselves. Last nights meeting was
called by the county chairman, according
to a time-honored custom.
Assemblyman-eIect Martin said after the
meeting that he had placed himself in
the inc of the delegation so far as Office
vas concerned. and would STAN by them
In whatever plan they attempted.

Supreme Court Sustains in
Matter Of M'AdOO Com
pany's Assessment.
BIG SUM GOES TO STATE
Amount Put on Books by Mu-
nicipality's Assessors for 100
Was $SI5, 0OO--TunneI Cor
poration Will Pay as
State Board Directs.
Especial to the Evening star.l

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 19.-The Su-
preme Court has sustained the decision
of the State Board of Equalization of
Taxes in canceling an assessment
of $685. 900 placed by the Jersey City
Board of Taxation on the McAdoo tun-
mel property in Jersey City. In argu-
ment before the State Board last spring
former Supreme Court Justice Gilbert
Collins, as counsel for the tunnel COM
pany. claimed hat as the company was
organized under the railroad act, that
it's right of way, shafts, etc, should
be properly assessed by the State Board
railroad company.
The State Board conceded with the
former justice, and the Supreme Court
has upheld that contention. The deci-
sion wipes out $4,000 from the 1906
ratables of Jersey City.
The tunnel company will pay taxes
on the. property at the valuation to be
fixed by the State Board of Assessors
at the average tax rate of the State
for 1906. This money will go into the
State treasury to be spent for State
purposes and to be distributed through
out the State by means OF the School
fund. The city would have received the
entire taxes on the tunnel property at
the local TAX rate of $24.90 per thou
sand of ratables of 1906.
The Court of Errors has sustained the
Supreme Court in setting aside the order
for reassessment of all Jersey City prop
erty for 1906 taxing purposes as made by
the State Board of Equalization. The rail
road companies attacked the local assess
ments on the ground that their property
was assessed at full value, while private
property was favored. Anticipating the
failure to secure a reassessment the rail-
roads have secured reductions on their
s~eeond-class property assessments for 1906
through the State board, and Jersey City
has appealed to the Supreme Court to
sustain the original assessments on rail-
road property. Thihs case has not been
argued yet.

BISHOP HAS BURRO
LEAST HE WON ONE, BUT
DIDN'T WANT TO.
Head of Newark Diocese Took a Chance
With Ticket No. 90 and Got
a white Elephant

If Bishop John J. O'Connof of the
Newark diocese had given the matter
a second thought he would never have
taken a chance on Maude, at the
fair for st. Joseph's Home, Jersey City.
Now the good bishop is in a predica-
ment, for, unlike the usual winner. he
considers himself unfortunate in being
the holder of ticket 20. for he possesses
a burro from Colorado. In addition to
being a burro. it is a white elephant .
as he has been unable to get rid of his
prize.
The bishop has allowed Maude to
remain stabbed at an equine emporium
in Jersey City, but this cannot con-
tinue indefinitely. for the price of feed
is going up and Maude has a voracious
appetite and never misses a meal.
Maude is described as a YARD high,
with ears like steamship ventilators
and a W tail. Some attention
has been called to the activity of her
two rear feet. In this respect the
bishops Maude outshines Opper's crea-
ton. The bishop, it is said, has at
NtiIlplGQ u pam pl Ills DIlNt On MS
brother, who resides in South Seventh
street, this city. The latter was not
in a receptive mood for such presents,
and in the most diplomatic way sug-
gested that Maude be given to one
more worthy.
It is not to be imagined that because
Mr.. 0'Connor suggested the names of
other laymen or clergymen that he has
a grudge for either. but it was only in
the fulness of his heart that he thought
they would find ONE use for the ami
NAL. At least that is his view of the
matter, bur it is yet to be known how
the others regard it.
The mule was presented to the fair
committee by Thomas f, Carey. The
latter found Maude in a pack of five
hundred of her kind in Manatau, Col
orado. Her baby blue eyes and meek
look appealed to him n Maude was
soon on her way to Jersey City. Soon
she made friends with Mr.. Carey's
SON. Harold. In Colorado she had been
used to mountain climbing. but UNI
fortunately there are no mountains in
Jersey City, so Maude was forced to
employ her traits in other lines.
Maude made one great mistake. She
tried to climb the side of n house. 1t re-
suited disastrously for Maude, but she is
so forgetful thai the very next day she
tried to climb a telegraph pole. Mr.. Carey
had been used to her climbing the stairs
in his home with Harold on her back, but
he did not like to have any animal of his
make a public exhibition of herself, and sc
he gave it to the fair.
When the bishop was approached for
contributions to the fair. a "chance'' on
Maude~was on his list. The bishop was
unsuspecting, but when the news came of
his prize, he was a much perturbed dlgna-
tary.
1t is said that the bishop will give Maude
to the orphans in st. Mary's Home, in
South Orange avenue, :.

BLOCKS SIDEW ak
COMPLAINT ABOUT THE OLD
CITY HALL WORK.
Pedestrians Have to Use Roadway-De7
mand That Contractors Erect Shed.
Superintendent Has Conference.

Protests against the obstruction of
sidewalks at Broad and William streets,
where the old City Hall is being razed,
were made to General superintendent
of Works Charles M. Shipman, of the
street department of the Board of
Works, today by ]. S. Hobbs, who
stated that it was an outrage that the
sidewalks should be roped off and the
people forced to walk in the street to
facilitate the work of a contractor, and
suggested that the company in charge
of the work should erect a covered
shed above the sidewalk so as to not
interfere with the use of the sidewalk,
and at the same time protect pedestri-
ans.
Mr.. Shipman promised that he would
look into the matter. and had a conference
with Frederick Van Keuren, of the firm
of Van Keuren & Son, who were awarded
the old hall by the City Hall Commission,
and given a brief space of time in which
to remove IT. The superintendent of
works suggested to Mr.. avn Keuren that
a bridge be erected on the Broad street
side of the building. and the latter prom
ised TO talk the matter owe with his
partner and answer today.
Technically, the firm has not violated the
law, except in several slight instances, and
IT the Sned is not DullL these arrangement
will be discontinued.
The general superintendent, under an
ordinance, has power to grant leave TO
use the street for "A certain time for the
erection, alteration or repair of a building,
and in the present case gave permission to
the Van Keurens TO rope off the sidewalk.
The law on this provides that the side
walks may be roped off from 7 a. IN.
until u noon, and that the ropes shall
then be removed and the walk put in
proper condition until 1 o'clock, when it.
again may be roped off until 6 p. m, and
after that be cleared of all debris for the
night. The ropes have not been removed
or the sidewalks cleared at any time, and
this neglect constitutes the breach of the
ordinance.
A number of protests nave been heard
from pedestrians on the main thorough
fare of the city against the blocking, but
1t is pointed out by the contractors that
they are within their rights and are not
blocking the sidewalk except for a short
distance.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-As a eli
max to the troubles in the public school
system in the national capital. which
have been steadily aggravated for a
number of years past. Assistant United
States Attorney Mcnamara. special
counsel for the Board of Education, to-
day cited the superintendent of schools,
William e. Chancellor, to appear be-
fore the board next Saturday to an
swer charges.
DR.. Chancellor is accused of incom-
petence, opposing the board. nsubor-
dination, disobedience, promoting dis
satisfaction, slandering the board and
destroying the public belief in it's eff
cheney. All these are set forth in speci-
f1cations, several of which accuse him
of falsehood. 1t is also declared thai
he needlessly and wastefully caused
fifty-four thousand textbooks to be
discarded, n that he libeled the school
system here in articles published in the
Educational Review.
Over a year ago the Board of Edu-
cation ransaeked the country to find
the best superintendent for the publi
schools of the capital. The system here
had been celebrated for it's efficiency,
for its excellent school buildings and
for the mount of money expended by
Congress for its maintenance.
The merits of many of the best sll-
perintendents in the United State
were considered, and DR.. Chancellor.

come to Washington, and from the
day of his arrival, in August last year,
he has peer involved in friction with
the board.
