CLERkGANkON'S
PROFIT FOR The COUNTY.

New Brunswick, Dec. 21:-The
placing OF the county clerks Office
under a salary basis under the hw
introduced by w. H. G. Jackson
when senator, has resulted in a nice
profit for the county for the past
year. I $iFz
County Clerk Bernard NJ. Cannon,
who is the first to mold the oiiee
under the salary system, said that
the accounts for the year showed a
net profit of $10,407 to the county,
allowing for all salaries and ex-
penses.
The present rear has been the
busiest one in the history of the
Office. There have been 1900 more
deeds filed than the previous year
and 627 more mortgages. The nat
publications have nearly tripled.
In fact the volume of work for
the office shows a steady increase,
and still larger figures are expected
for 1911. The office year ends on
November Is. If December were
added the 1910 figures would be still
more striking, as a tremendous
amount of business has been done
since the first OF this month. -

those allied with the latter. Up to

themselves to the former senator,
DR.. Wilson has been able to persuade
several other legislators who were
counted as Smith men originally, to

REPORT URGED
ON AMENDMENT
S. !. Sound Waterways As
ISOLATION in SESSION Today.

Local members Of the Staten ISL
and Sound Deep waterways Associa-
ton are in attenance this afternoon
at an adjourned meeting in the AS
sociation's headquarters, 27 Pine
street, New York, for the purpose of
bringing influence to bear upon the
Senate Committee on Commerce in
order that it may report favorably
upon the rivers and harbors bill
amendment affecting the water ap.
proaches to Perth Amboy.
Among other business taken up
was the report of Secretary James
N. Stout regarding his attendance
of the seventh annual convention or
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress at Washington the early
part of this month.
Secretary Stout found that the first
thing to obtain for the furtherance
of the objects of the Staten Island
Sound Deep Waterways Association,
was an order from Congress for a
survey of the entire channel to be
improved. Upon investigation he
found that the Rivers and Harbors
bill as prepared by the committee on
Rivers and Harbors in the House of
Representatives, had been passed by
the House on December 10 and that
it contained no provision for a sur
vey of any part of the channel in
question. The bill was then in the
Senate, where it had been referred
to the Committee on Commerce. Sec
rotary Stout stated that he then con-
with Senator Kean, who intro
duced the following amendment to
the bill, that surveys be taken of
New York bay and harbor, New
York, with a view to securing neces-
sary increased width and depth of
water for the purposes of commerce
from a point at or lear South West
Spit, Northwest of Sandy Hook, N.
j., through Lower Bay, Raritan Bay,
the channel between New Jersey and
Staten Island, N. z, to the channel
in Upper Bay"
The members of the Committee on
Commerce with whom the present
improvement of the water approach
es to Perth Amboy rests are as fol-
William f. Frye, Lewiston,
Me-, chairman; Stephen B. Elkins,
ElKl11S, w, Va, Mute NELSON, Alex
andria, Mimi; Jacob H. G%allinger,
Concord, N. H; Boies Penrose,

reavement that he had not given the
matter sufficient thought to be able
to discuss 1t at this time.
p. j. McKeon Couldn't SayA
When Peter J.. McKeon, fourth
ward committeeman, was seen, he
was unable to speak on the subject
at this time because of, the recent be-
reayement in his family. He stated,
however, that he would read up and
consider the subject and perhaps
present his stand next week.
MARITIME For Peter Floresch.
James MARITIME is my man." said
Peter Floersch, the Democratic COM
mitteeman from one district of the
fourth ward. He said he sided with
Woodrow Wilson in the matter Of
United States s~enatorship and that
not alone did he favor MARITIME be-
cause of the election results, but be-
cause he was "his man."
Chris. Jodgensen Selects MARITIME.
Chris ~Jorgensen, of the sixth ward,
declared himself for the selection of
James MARITIME. Like Mr.. Floersch,
he accepted the stand taken by the
goVernor-elect.
John j. Clark Declines.
John j. Clark declined to commit
himself regarding his choice for Uni
ted States senator. He said he re-
garded the subject far above him in
position in political affairs. He
declined to be quoted as saying any
thing for or against the men seek
ing the office. Mr.. Clark is a fifth

BOUGHT FOR
THE SENATORS
Government Charged With
Hair Oil and Face Cream.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The annual
report of Charles N. Bennett, secretary
of the senate, has been made public.
1t shows that the needs of senators
are varied. 1t discloses their literary
tastes and contains records of head
aches, corns, bunions and other afiiic-
tions.
That Uncle Sam is O subscriber to
La Follette's magazine is shown by
an expenditure for a years subscrip-
ton for the special use of Senator
Stone of Missouri. The Wall Street
Journal was SEN to Senator La Fol-
lette.
The Outlook also was subscribed
and paid for by the United States gov
eminent, but there Is no record tina
any senator read William ]. Bryan's
Commoner at public expense.
Senator Clark of Wyoming, chairman
of the senate judiciary committee, has
given some attention to prevailing
fashions. He ordered the Delineator
sent to him for a year, to be paid for
out Of the contingent fund. Many
senators read their home newspapers
at public expense, and not a Few or
them asked Uncle Sam to provide the
Washington daily newspapers.
Senator Piles of Washington asked
the government to pay for the Belling-
han Herald, the Bellingham Reveille
and the Everett Herald, giving the
news from back home.
Another item Is for the rental Of
three sewing machines. The taxicab
company drew heavily on the contin-
gent fund for taking senators home
from evening sessions" Another ex-
penditure for taxicabs was for taking
senators home from the senate on the
last day Of the session."
A local druggist was paid for ounce
seed, cologne, silk hat brushes, bromo
settler, caffeine, pepsin tablets, bore
hound drops, gum camphor and court
plaster. There were expenditures for
hair tonic, massage cream and other
accessories of the senate barber shop.
Senator Dick of Ohio seems to have
been able to put as good a crtmp in the
contingent fund as any other senator.
On st. Patrick's day he sent nearly a
hundred messages. AS the tariff lGgis-
lation progressed he warmed to his
task until July 30, 1909, he exceeded u
hundred messages. The senate, 1t APP
pears, not only subscribed for the Out
look, but paid $500 for a bust OF the
contributing editor.

MAYOR GAYNOR
 SCORES POLICE

New York, August 4.-Mayor Gaynor' S sudden descent yesterday on the night court bore fruit today in another charter istic denunciation of police stupidity. yenality and brutality In part he let loose his indignation because of what he saw last night as follows: Two thirds of those bnought in last night were stupidity and needlessly arrested and one or two of them corruptly to extort money, and I understand that proportion is the rule.
 One policeman brought in boy who threw rubber ball on the street. Hs should have stopped him only Another brought in boy who danced on a build ing platform in the street. Another brought in two men who had been quar- relling. Their dispute was perfectly harmless. It was only necessary to stop them and tell them to go along. A Lon don policeman would have hardly noticed them. One arrigned a cook for stealing cold piece of chicken. Some one said he stole 1t. That an officer may not ar rest, without a warrant for such a crime unless he saw 1t committed, seemed to have never entered his head. He looked too stupid to understand it. There was no evidence of the larceny"

Washington, August 4.-Again charging that the zelaya fortune, through the manipulations of son-in-law of the former Nicaraguan president, is being poured into the Estrada coffers to defray the expenses of the warfare against the Madriz government in Nicaragua and re- iterating stories of the unpopularity of the former president, a statement was made here today by Dr. Sebastian Sali- nas, who with Modesto Barrios, came to this country to try to establish friendly relations between Madriz and the United States.
 II know personally that Zelaya's son-in- law, Joaquin Pasos, holding his power of attorney, sent money to help the revolu- tionists at Bluefelds." declared Dr. Sall- mas. "Zelaya not only contributed noth- ing toward the purchase of the Venus, but he knew nothing about the transactions until after she had sailed"
 Dr.. Salinas ascrbed to agents of the Insurgents the reports that Madriz was the representative or the tool of Zelaya and therefore unfriendly to American ll- terests. Neither is true" said Dr. Sali- mas. "Dr. Madriz was the most powerful enemy of Zelaya's administration.'
