ceiYed by Secretary Leon this morn
ing inviting the board to be repre-
sented at the next hearing of the
state commissions appointed to con-
slider the Interstate bridge matter.
Following is the notice received:
The State ommissions of New

river, at the joint expense of the two
states, will hold hearing in joint
session in the council chamber, City
Hall, New York, Wednesday morn
ing at 10 O'Clock, at which hearing
an opportunity will be afforded to
the citizens and public bodies OF
both states to express their views in
regard to such construction and the
most desirable locations at which to
cross the Hudson, and any other
matters within the scope of the Or
ganic acts of the commissions.
AS was told in the EVENING
NEWS Saturday, the consulting en-
gineers of the bridge commission
have furnished estimates for the
construction of three bridges over

in some of the other accounts at the
end of the year. Every year there
fs generally some money left over in
the various accounts, and part of
this, Mr.. Voorhees, says, the council
is allowed by law to transfer.
Mr.. Voorhees, said he was sur
prised that the health board had
raised the question, az he had told
President Reynolds not to be alarm
ed about the $4,000 appropriation as
some of the leftover money would
be transferred from other accounts
to the health board after the first of
next year.
President Reynolds, when seen by
NEWS man, admitted that what
Mr.. Voorhees, said was true and stat

MORE MONEY FOR The
HEALTH DEPARTMENT

'The health board and all the
other departments will be properly
taken care of, but of course we want
to keep the tax rate as low as possi-
ble," said Alderman Cannon this
morning when questioned in regard
to the complaint of the health board
that an appropriation of $4,000
would not be enough to last it
through 1909. That Is the sum
named in the appropriation ordi-
nance which was introduced and
given its first reading last Monday
night.
Alderman-at-large voorhees,, when
questioned, said that while the bud
get was being made up with an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the Board
of Health, sufficient money to supply
the needs of the board would be
transferred from what is left over

Public Service Hit
a Schooner In
The Sound.
WAS CROWDED

The ferryboat Public Service,
which has been in use for week or
two, in place Of the Perth Amboy, of
the Staten Island Rapid Transit,
narrowly escaped running down a
two-masted schooner shortly after Z
O'Clock Saturday night.
The ferryboat had left the Totem
vile slip about 1920 o'clock, loaded
down with the usual crush of Satur-
day night shoppers and theatregoers
bound for this city. When near the
slip on his side of the sound, a
schooner loomed up directly in the
path of the ferrybot, having Just
come out near Bunten's dock. The
schooner had only the jib set and
the only lights visible were on the
cabin house Captain Reuben An
drovette, who was at the wheel of
the Public Service, threw it over
quickly and the passenger craft just
scraped the railing of the schooner.
The ferryboat was thrown complete
ly off it's course and had to turn
around again before it could go into
the slip.
The passengers on the ferryboat,
most of whom were women, when
I. they saw the boats SO close to each
>other, became alarmed. The quick
action of Captain Androvette proba-
bly, averted a serious accident, both
to the schooner and the ferryboat.
On almost every trip Saturday
night, many passengers we're COM
PEELED to stand On the deck, as both
the mems and women's cabins were
crowded. 1t takes this boat from
ten to twelve minutes to make the
trip across the sound.
1t is expected that the Perth AM
boy, which has been undergoing re-
pairs at the Clifton shops of the
company, will return tom orrow.

within twenty feet of the church, was
in danger but was saved by liberal
supply of water.
Before coming to New Brunswick
Mr. Uhl was pastor of the John Street
M. E. church at South Amboy
The total damage is estimated at
$4,000.
While the fire was still burning
steps were taken for rebuilding,

of the loss is covered by insurance.

the place where in 1867, the Rev
Stephen H. Tying of the Protestant
Episcopal Church preached without
the permission of the Rev. Alfred
Stubbs and the Rev. Edward Boggs,
the Episcopal rectors of New Bruins
wick. For this the Rev. Mr. Tying
was subjected to an ecclesiastical
trial, found guilty of the breach and
admonished by Bishop Horatio Pot

WANT MAYOR To
TESTIFY AS TO
The BLACKJACK

Joseph Sotmar, twenty-three years
old, of so Catherine street, this city,
a Hungarian, who was arrested on
October IL last, charged with being
the man who committed a murderous
assault with blackjack on Patrol
man Israel Weitzen in Mike Yatsko's S
saloon, SS Catherine street, is being
tried before Judge Booraem and a
jury at New Brunswick today.
A blackjack was used as evidence
at the trial this morning and when it
was learned that Mayor Bollschweiler
was the man who had turned it over
to the police with the statement,
Weitzen's eye was knocked out, F"
there was a call for His Honor. 1t
was decided to get the mayor at once
and Chief Burke was given instruc-
tions over the telephone, to hunt up
the mayor and tell him to come TO
court at once.
Other witnesses in the case are
DR.. ]. l.. MacDowall, Detective Long
and Patrolman Kozusko.
Blackjack Handed TO Mayor.
AS was told in the NEWS at the
time, the policeman was so badly in
jured that he had to be removed to
the city hospital where it was found
that his right eye would have to be
removed. An examination also re-
vealed stab wound in the shoulder.
Weitzen, at the city's expense, was
removed to the Manhattan Eye & Ear
Infirmary, New York. where his eye
was removed by DR.. j. L. MacDowall.
He has since been supplied with a
glass eye by the city and is able to be
around.
The night that Weitzen was injur-
ed he and Patrolman Kozusko went
into Yatsko's saloon to make some
foreigners leave. as 1t was midnight
and the proprietor wanted to close
up. The gang attacked them and
Kozusko was also rendered senseless
by blackjack, after he had hand
cuffed a man, who escaped and who
is still fugitive. The man who es-
capped, it was learned later, was Sot-
mars brother, and he is believed to
have been the man who stabbed
Weitzen.

Reputation as a Large Asset.

In the annals OF American business
life there has beend eveloped to a re-
markable degree the question of the per-
sonal reputation and standing Of the
members Of a concern. When it is con
sidered that 95 per cent. Of the total
business of this country is done on a
credit basis, the laymah does not appre-
ciate how this basis of giving credit is
arrived at For the convenience of mer-
chants there are two large mercantile
agencies in the United States whose bust
ness it is merely to report ON the condi-
ton and statement of every concern of
size doing business in the United States
These mercantile agencies with organi.
cations entailing the investment OF hun-
dreds OF thousands of dollars are the
means OF preventing great many cred.
its being given to irresponsible concerns,
but in all probability the most important
method Of giving concern credit is on
the personal reputation Of the owner of
the business his family life, his stan
dard Of honor and integrity are what
the average business man looks for now
adays, and even the consumer is begin
ming to make his purchases more on this
basis than ever before.
A concern that typihes this principle
Of integrity and honesty TO point I'm
surpassed by any other in their line is
DR.. j. F. True 4 Co. OF Auburn, Me.
The founder of the business DR. j. +.
True, passed away in 1900, after 80
years of the most continuous reputation
building ever known in the annals OF
American pharmaceutical work. He left
behind him a name unsullied by single
blemish; he left behind him remedy

ca. The present head of the concern.
DR.. f. G. True. mas not only maintained
this splendid reputation but in addition
his progressiveness, which naturally the
elder generation to a certain extent
lacked, has built up a business beyond
the widest dream OF the founder.
