Another Dividend of 20 Per Cent
For DepOsitOrs Of DefunCt Mid
dIesex County Bank.
FOR SALE OF RAMSAY PROPERTY
Receiver Says Everything Is About
Cleared Up and that the Addition
al Dividend Will Soon be Forth
coming-Amount Against the RAM
say Property Said to be Near $780,
OOO-City's Claim in Connection.

Halsey Barrett, of Newark, receiv-
er of the defunct MiddleseX County
Bank, in conversation with a local
lawyer, said yesterday that the sale
of the Ramsay shipyard property was
about all that was holding up the
payment of another dividend TO the
depositors of the bank. Mr.. Barrett
said that he had already received an
offer for the property, but would not
sell 1t under the banks claim, which
is said to be about $4,000.
The original claim of the bank
against the property was not as great
as the foregoing named sum, but on
account of taxes and accrued interest
the amount is now close to $50, 900.
Nearly all of the outstanding
claims of the bank, it is understood,
are settled, and that as soon as the
Ramsay property can be disposed of,
payment of about twenty per cent.
will be paid the depositors. Fifty
per cent. has already been paid by
the bank and an additional twenty
per cent. will no doubt be welcomed
by all who had dealings with the con-
cern.
The Ramsay shipyard property,
which is now occupied by the Mosher
Water Tube Boiler Company, was ad-
vertised by the court some time ago,
but until yesterday, nothing could be
learned in regard to the matter. The
city owns a strip of land in the center
of the tract, known as the wet dock
property.

Considers Meyer and Haywood
Undesirable Citizens.

The President Condemns Alike Mill
Iionaires Who Transgress Law and
Labor Men Who Try to Thwart JUS
tice-Square Deal for All-Men
Themselves are Endeavoring to
Do What They Accuse Him OF.

WASHINGTON. April Pain let
ter addressed to Honore Jaxon of Chi
cago, chairman of the Cook county
Meyer Haywood conference just
made public, President Roosevelt re-
piled to the criticisms of his recent
letter in which he referred to Meyer
and Haywood, officials of the Western
Federation OF Miners. charged with
implication in the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg of Idaho, as
undesirable citizens"
The president says he regrets any
body of men should so far forget their
duty to their country as to, by forma-
ton Of societies and in other ways,
endeavor to influence justice and CO.
cree court or jury; that they, not he,
are trying to influence justice, and he
condemns what he calls their fragrant
improprety in the matter.
He says that he indicated no opin-
ion as to their guilt of the Steunen-
berg murder, but that it was a simple
absurdity to suppose that because n
man is on trial he is free from critic
ism as to his manner of life. He said
he might as well be accused of trying
to influence the suits against Harri-
man, some of whose friends had also
criticised him.
The presidents letter says in part:
"Your letter is headed Cook Coun-
ty Meyer Haywood- d-Pettibone Confer
ence,' with the headlines Death Can
not, VIII Not and Shall Not Claim Our
Brothers, This shows that you and
your associates are not demanding Il
fair trial or working for fair trial.
but are announcing in advance that the
verdict shall only be one way and that
you will not tolerate any other verdict.
Such action is fragrant in its impro-
priety, and join heartily in condemn
ing it.
but no possible outcome either of
the trial or the suits can affect my
judgment as to the undesirability of
the type of citizenship of those whom |
mentioned. Messrs. Mover, Haywood
and Debs stand as representatives of
those men who have done as much to
tnt ldDOt movement stS tit
worst speculative financiers or most
unscruplous employers of labor and de-
bnuchers of legislatures have done to
discredit honest capitalists and fair
dealing business men.
"They stand rs the representatives of
these men who by their public utter
ances and manifestoes, by the utter
ances of the papers they control or in-
spire and by the words and deeds of
those associated with or subordinated
to them habitually appear as guilty of
incitement to or apology for bloodshed
and violence.
IF this does not constitute undeslra-
BILE citizenship, then there can never
be any undesirable citizens.
"It seems to me mark of utter in
sincerity to fail to condemn both and
TO apologize for either robs the man
thus apologizing of all right to CON
denim any wrongdoing in any man, rich
OF poor, in public or in private life.

LOCAL BUSINESS MEN
DISCUSS THE TROLLEY

One of the most representative
gatherings of business men and tax
payers ever held in this city assem-
bled in Odd Fellows hall last night
in the interest of enlarging the bust
ness of the city and increasing trans
portation facilities with nearby towns.
The principal subject under discus
sion was the application of the Jer-
sey Central Traction Company for a
franchise to use the spans and draw
of the Amboy bridge in bringing its
trolley line across the Raritan river.
About $50 men were present, repre-
senting all branches of trade here and
after a general discussion resolutions
were adopted and it was agreed that
as many as possible would attend the
public hearing before the freeholders
in New Brunswick today and urge
that the Jersey Central Traction
Company be granted the privilege
asked for.
Albert Leon called the meeting to
order and George F. Reynolds was
made chairman and Mr. Leon secre-
tary. The object of the meeting was
explained and opinions were called
for, Postmaster George II. Tice was
Grst called upon, as the man who in
troduced the original bill in the leg
islature permitting the construction
of the bridge. Mr.. Tice spoke of the
desirability of connecting Perth AM
boy with the Monmouth county towns
III
would mean thousands of dollars to
this city to get those people coming
here. He thought the proposition of
the Jersey Central was fair in every
particular, especially as it was only
for a twenty-year franchise and was
not to be exclusive.
Others who spoke were Mayor
Bollschweiler, Alderman-at-Large
Pfeiffer, Judge Adrian Lyon, William
H. Mccormick, Harry Conard, South
r. Harrington, A. P. Kennedy, Albert
Leon, James S. Wight and Joseph e.
Stricken.
All the speakers voiced the senti-
ments of Mr.. Tice, pointing out the
great advantages to be attained by
getting a trolley direct from this
city to the towns south.
Judge Lyon introduced the, follow
ing resolution, which was passed
unanimously:
Resolved, That the offer made by
the Jersey Central Traction Company
to the Board of Freeholders to cross
the Raritan river bridge meets with
the approval of the citizens of Perth
Amboy and that the said board Is
hereby urged to grant franchise to
said company in accordance here
with"
Another set of resolutions, going
into details and demanding that the
Jersey Central Traction Company be
granted a franchise upon the terms
already offered, were read, but after
a discussion, they were tabled While
those present expressed themselves
that the local people should demand
that the Jersey Central company be
given a franchise, they felt that 1T
might embarrass the freeholders to
adopt resolutions tieing them down
to any fixed amount.
