FORT GONE TO A
CONFERENCE WITH
GOVERNOR HUGHES
Two Executives Consulting Re-
garding Legislation of ln-
terest to Both States.

Governor Fort went to Albany, N Y,
early today, announcing that he would
have an all day conference with Gov
ernor Hughes, of New York, and would
not return to his home in East Orange
until late tonight.
When Leslie Fort, his son and secre-
tary. was asked concerning the Gov
ernor's business in Albany he would
say nothing further than that 1t was to
see Governor Hughes and that 1t was
on personal and private business.
1t was understood, however, that i'm
portant legislation by the sister States
at the approaching sessions of the two
Legislatures would be the topic of con-
ference.
There are several matters of great
Importance which win come up this
winter at Albany and Trenton. Among
them are the disposal of the Passaic
Valley sewage in New York bay, the
forest preservation on the border and
the war against the mosquito. Bridges
and tunnels may also be considered.

Executive and Wife Refreshed

P. j. DOLAN Is FIGHTING
SIMON HAHN FOR JUDGE
Few of His Own Appointees Are
to Be Removed, Is Gem
.eral Impression.

Mayor Jacob Haussling and Mrs.
Haussling returned home today after
a three weeks sojourn in New Orleans.
Both the mayor and his wife look as
though they had thoroughly enjoyed
the trip and they said they had a
pleasant time,
The only Newarker who was at the
wharf when the boat warped fast to
the dock in New York, at $3.50 o'clock,
was John ]. Gilroy, the mayors ex-
ecutive clerk. The mayors coming had
not been heralded.
Mayor Haussling is not expected to
take up his official duties at the City
Hall before Monday. While much has
been said about the Mayors intention
to appoint a number of new members
of his official family. yet it is said not
to be likely that there Will be as
many changes among the present in
cumbents as some expect. He has one
important appointment to make that
does not need the approval OF the COM
mon Council, and that is successor
to the late Judge David L. Howel.
Former Assemblyman Simon Hahn ap-
pears to have the best chance OF secuf-
ing that position, according to the re-
ports from those who claim to know.
But at least one other candidate mas
refused to be downed without struS-
gle This particular fighter is Patrick
j. Doan. lawyer, who was on the
Democratic Assembly ticket last month.
He has been a counselor nine years
Mr.. Dolan and his friends in all parts
of the city have many petitions signed
Nv prominent Democrats in all parts OF
the city asking the Mayor TO appoint
him
On the petitions are the names OF
more than half of the district leaders
OF the Democratic party in the city,
among them the leaders from the
Seventh Ward, in which Mr.. Hahn re-
sides.
There is also a vacancy in the Pollce
Board. owing to the election OF Mr.
Harrigan to the Sheriff office.
There is any number of candidates
for the vacancy. and while it is possible
one of the names may be sent to the
Common Council tomorrow, yet 1t IS
said that such is not likely to be the
case.
1t is said on very good authority that
the Mayor is not thinking very serious
" of putting many of his own appoin-
tees out of office unless some very good
reason can be shown for doing so.

sWATS MOTORMAN
. WHO SPED BY AS
He YELLED ''sT0Pr
Freeman, Hot All Over, Despite
Cold, Finally Goes Aboard
and Does Things.

Did you ever feel as If you would
like to swat the naughty motorman
who serenely whisks by you on cold,
raw night, disregarding your frantic
signals to stop as theatre time draws
near and you are far from the box
office? Did you ever get so desperate
that you jumped in front of one of
said trolley cars, riskinE your life TO
stop it?
William Freeman, of 81 Warren
street, felt that way last night, and
he jumped in front of a car in Ham
burg place, which stopped just long
enough to escape running him down
and then sped onward. But he was a
man of great determination. so he
chased the car, boarded it and told the
motornan what he thought of him. In
cidentally the motorman, Samuel IL.
Christie, of 256 Warren street. now has
very black and much swollen eye.
Freeman admitted striking the
motorman, when arraigned in the
Third Precinct Police Court today. He
will be tried for assault and battery
tomorrow.

TO DEPARTMENT
Common Council Asked to In-
crease Force--City Hall
Engineer Is Raped.

Action toward increasing the eff
cheney of Newarks police department

committee, when Police Commissioners
Baader and Bonnet asked for an ap-
preparation of s., 500 for the month of

placed in service at once. IT. is the in
tention of the commissioners to dis
tribute these extra men among all SIX
precincts, sf1d TO introduce a three
platoon system. which they assert will
be far superior from every standpoint
to the system now in vogue.
When the engineer of the City
Hall heating and lighting plant
asked for an increase jim salaries from
81, 200 to S1,500 year. Alderman Michael
#. Mullen expressed himself as being
opposed to such an increase. ''As near
as T can see" he said. 1.-THE chief en-
gineer does nothing but stand around
and look wise. If had anything to do
with the building committee, the chief
would earn his salary as well as the
other engineers"
No definite action was taken upon the
request of Alderman Mann, that the
sum of $500 be appropriated for the
construction of fire-house in his ward,
the Fifteenth. An appropriation of
$500 for running the tuberculosis
Hospital and the City Dispensary, and
for running the City Hospital during
the month of December there was set
aside an appropriation Of $4,000. The
sum of $4,000 was appropriated for the

NAME IN CHANCERY
Lawyer Evades McCarter's
Quizzes in Suit Over Failed
Telephone Company.
WON'T SAY WHO STARTED
RECEIVERSHIP ACTION
Mysterious Complainant Later
Transferred Holdings to
Delaware Rival.

The unusuaT spectacle of a leading
lawyer. of the New Jersey bar under
questioning for an hour and half by
a CORNER attorney general in an at
tempt to learn the identity Of a client,
was presented in Chancery Court today
when John r. Hardin was called to
the stand In an examination before
Charles M. Myers and Edward NJ Cole,
receivers Of the Telegraph, Telephone
and Gable Company of America, an in
solvent New Jersey corporation. with
an original capital stock OF $50. 000. 900.
Former Attorney General Robert II
McCarter conducted the investigation
for George G. Tenant, Jersey City
lawyer, representing certain stock
holders who are seeking to learn
through whose manipulation the hold
ing company was put in the hands of
the receiver. At the end OF the lengthy
examination, filled with retorts cour-
teous. the identity of the mysterious
client was not revealed.
IT was brought out, however, that
this client, whose suit was the original
petition in bankruptcy, to which re-
ply confessing bankruptcy was filed,
had transferred his holdings of $S0.000

Germs bitterest rivals.
Complainant a Clerk.
The complainant in the insolvency
proceedings is Frederick ]. Wherry, a
clerk in the law office of Pitney, Har-
din & Skinner Mr.. Wherry testified
that he did not know who owned the
$50. 900 of notes on which he sued, but
was handed the notes in bundle by a
representative of the New Amsterdam
Rank. of New York who. it was said,
did not wish to appear as the complain
ant.
ITO whom do these notes belong
now?' Mr.. Hardin was asked.
ITO the American Independent Tcle-
phone Conn any. "A Delaware corpora
ton" was the answer,
when did they receive title?"
II don't know exactly. but sometime
during the life of this suit
From whom p
II decline to answer. The legal title
is in Mr.. Wherry.'
Mr.. McCsrter asked the same ques-
form, but each time met with the same
answer It was sufficient. Mr.. Hardin
thought, that the receivers should know
the identity of the present equitable
and beneficial owners. without going
into the details of how they acquired
ownership.
John Jacob Astor Involved.
Among the stockholders of the man.
moth corporation is John Jacob Astor,
who was served with a summons to ap-
pear and explain why he had not paid
$50, 900 due on stock in his name re-
Gently, upon his arrival in Hoboken
from abroad. The identity of the per-
sons who plunged the concern into
bankruptcy remains hidden, but the
interests represented by Mr.. Tenant
charged that the big company was
ruined through the machinations of its
rival, the telephone trust.

I'VE have come together to honor the

The Simple Secret of Blowing the Big
Glass Globes.
Emperor Nicholas wished to illumi-
nate the Alexander column in a grand
style. The size of the round lamps to
be used for the purpose were indicated
and the glasses ordered at the manu-
factory, where the workmen exerted
themselves in vain and almost blew
the breath out of their bodies in the
endeavor to obtain the desired size.
The commission must be executed
that was self evident-but how?
A great premium was offered to the
one who could solve the problem.
Again the human bellows toiled and
puffed Their object seemed unattain-
able, when at last long bearded Rus
sian stepped forward and declared that
he could do it; he had strong lungs;
he would only rinse his mouth first
with little water to refresh them.
He applied his mouth to the pipe
and pulled to such purpose that the
vitreous ball swelled and pulled nearly
to the required dimensions, up to them,
beyond them.
''Hold! Hold" cried the lockers on.
'You are doing too much. And how
did you do it all?"
''The matter is simple enough" an
swered the long beard. "but, first.
where is my premium?"
And when he clutched the promised
bounty he explained
He had retained some of the water
in his mouth. which had passed thence
into the glowing ball and then, becom-
ing steam, had rendered him this good
service.

His Encounter With the Gear and Hi

One of the stories of Peter the Great
which are current at the court of st
Petersburg is of the great cars wres
Ting match with a young dragon
Once in the imperial palace-so the
story goes-Peter was at table with
a great many princes and noblemen
and soldiers were posted within the
hall. The czar was in joyous mood
and, rising, called out to the company
Listen, princes and boyarsi Is there
among you one who will wrestle witt
the carp There was no reply, and
the car repeated the challenge.
No prince or nobleman dared to wres
tie with his sovereign. But all at once
a young dragon stepped out from
the ranks of the soldiers on guard
Listen, orthodox car" he said. 81
will wrestle with thee" "Well, young
dragoon," said Peter, 81 will wrestle
with thee, but on these conditions: II
thou throwest me, l will pardon thee
but If thou art thrown thou shalt be
beheaded. Wilt thou wrestle on those
conditionsT
81 will, great car" said the soldier
They closed, and presently the soldier
with his left arm threw the car and
with his right he prevented him from
falling to the ground The sovereign
was clearly beaten. The car offered
the soldier whatever reward he should
claim, and he ignobly claimed the
privilege of drinking free as long as
he lived in all the inns belonging tt
the crown. What became Of him his
tory does not say.

ATOMIC WORLDS.
There May Be a Billion of Them In
Sneek of Dust

Speck of Dust.
How would you like to live in an

habitants of world so small that you
cannot even see it beneath micro
scope?
The scientists tell us that each atom
is solar system. with its central sun
and revolving planets in their orbits,
and that little atom people live and
love and fight and die there and never
know but what they are just the big
gest and most important folks that
live. There are military atomites
there, no doubt, who strut around and
get tangled up in their swords and
give orders in gruff voices; actor atom
ties who star in atomic theaters and
are adored by lovely atomite maidens
and criticised by the trenchant pens of
the newspaper men.
There is every reason to believe that
life in the atom is much like life in the
earth and that the kings and emperors
there make war On their distant enc
mics and have their peace conferences
and their periods of financial stringen-
cy. The joke of 1t is that they prob
ably take themselves seriously, and,
though there may be a billion atomic
worlds In a speck of dust, there is
never an inhabitant of one of them
that knows how small he is and how
much he misses by not being man
instead of an atomite. = New York

Rafting Down the Canyons Of an I'm

With provisions for only ten days a
party of explorers in Alaska found one
September that they must build RATS
and take their chances of letting the
swift river carry them to settlements
where food could be obtained; other
wise ice and snow would shut them in
from all hope of rescue. In THE
Shameless Diary of an Explorer Rob-

roughly made RATS.
"At II O'Clock today began the most
thrilling sport know, rafting down
the snaky canyons of an unmapped
glacial river.
Erred and captained the Mary Ann

rasped and hauled them over the gravel
shadows of our tributary, shot out
between the main walls of the stream
and seized upon that boiling current.

cliff, damned pike poles into the slate
shelf overhead, twirled out of eddies.
We bumped and grounded. We dashed
overheard and on the run eased her
across shadows. We tugged half an
hour to make an inch at each shove
through the gravel, suddenly plunged
In to our necks, and she leaped free as
we scrambled on.

might not hang on them for a perpen-

eddy, the depth of foam ruffling over
a stump. You must be surer Of the
length of your pole than a polo player
of the reach of his mallet You must
be quicker than a Siwash dog. You
must know the different weight Of
each log down to ounces, the balance

the mackinaws and the ak dashed to
all the lashings. It's pretty game"
