INCREASES
ITS CAPITAL
Annual Meeting of the TeIe-
phone Company Held in
This City Today.
WILL CONTINUE FIGHT
IN Linden TOWNSHIP
Two Rival Concerns Are
After the Right Of Way
Across Union township.

The authorized capital stock of
the Hudson & Middlesex Telephone
& Telegraph Company was increased
from $3.50, 200 to $1,000 ,000 at ths
annual meeting of the stockholders
and directors at the cOmpanys head
quarters, in New Brunswick avenue,
today. G. NJ. Peterson was named
as director in the place of NJ. s.
Meinzer.
A. W. Bailey, counsel for the COM
pany. was present and upon receiv-
ing his report Of the fight against
the. township of Linden, in Union
county, it was decided to carry ths
fight to the supreme court and fight
it out to the last resort. The COM
pany is trying TO secure a certain
route for its lines through the town
ship of Linden where two opposing
companies have also applied to lay
wires. A hearing last Friday before
Supreme Court Commissioner Ru-
rode at Jersey City, when testimony
was taken in the matter of the Hud-
son & Middlesex Company VS.. the
Township of Linden, was adjourned
to February 7. The hearing was on
rule to show cause why writ OF
pelling the township to designate a
route by which the Hudson & Mid
dlesex concern could string it's lines.
The Interstate Telephone & Tele-
graph Company and the Mutual Dis
triet Telephone & Messenger Com
pany made application to cover the
same district as the local concern at
the same time they made applica-
ton. 1t appears that the Interstate
concern was granted permission to
use the route wanted by the local
company. However, Mr. Bailey, the
Hudson & Middlesex Company's law
yer, has stated that within a week
afterward representatives of the In
terstate company were in his office
with a view of selling their stock to
his company. The N. Y & n j.
Telephone Company, the Western
Union Telegraph and the Postal Tel
egraph companies have lines along
Edgar's road, but the Hudson &
Middlesex is requesting new route
that will bring its lines nearer TO

The meeting this morning lasted
from 1 / to IL O'Clock, during which
time the polls we're open for the
naming of directors. The following
were chosen: William J. Lansley,
B. L. Lawrence, D. A. Reynolds,
Eugene Brock, George W. Eggert,
H. B. Clark, C. NJ. Peterson. Henry

EXPIRES
AS COLLECTOR

The term of Robert Carson, collec.
tor of this port, expired Saturday
but Mr.. Carson will continue hi,
duties until the appointment of his
successor is made by President Taft
Ii is believed by many that Mr.
Carson will be re-appointed despite
the fact that three local men have
been circulating petitions, requesting
that they themselves receive the ap-
pointment
Oliver W. Ramsay secured the
largest number of signers on the
ffty petitions he had in circulation.
Altogether the number of signatures
totaled 1852.
DR.. Frank c. Henry had twenty
petitions going the rounds. William
Pfeiffer circulated three, securing
the names of practically all of the
republican county committeeman.
Neither Mr.. Carson nor his adver-
saries expect to hear of the appoint
ment for some time to come. Presi-
dent Taft, in all probability, will call
in Senator Kean to assist him in a
choice.

Mrs. Lake Seguine, of Bertrand
avenue, this city, expects to shortly
obtain possession of about $4,000,
an Inheritance left her by her aunt,
Mrs. Samson, who died in small
village outside of London, several
years ago.
Together with her husband and
Detective Lawrence Long, who was

the office of Lawyer Nelson H. Tun-

OBJECTIONS
TO BOAT FOR
RECREA TON

Considerable agitation has been
aroused among certain property own
ers and residents in the neighbor-
hood of Market, Water and Front
streets over the proposed recreation
boat which Theodore Bloodgood in
tends to place at the foot of Market
street
There is some talk of petition
being circulated, addressed to the
Board of Aldermen, and requesting
that Mr.. Bloodgood be compelled to
change the site of his project. The
objection is based on the ground that
such resort would tend to disturb
the present quietude of the neigh
borhood and would draw the crowds
from the northern to the southern
end of the city.
The chief objection. however,
seems to be based on the allegation
that the music and joviality which
would prevail there on Sundays
would profane the Sabbath.
Many of the residents in the sec
tion of the city near the foot of Mar

ket street are considerably incensed
over the matter and some think that
if such resort is established at all,
the location should be in the more
scantily populated section of the
city, for instance, somewhere near
the county bridge.
c. c. Baldwin, who is a president
of the newly created Harbor Board,
told NEWS reporter Saturday that
he thought Mr. Bloodgood should
have made application to that body
before attempting to put the project
in action.
He said that the matter will in all
probability be taken up when the
Harbor Board meets again.
AS already told in the NEWS, Mr..
Bloodgood intends to remove the
old coast-liner, "City of Key West, ;"
from John H. Gregory's ship grave
yard, where it is now being over
hauled by a gang of men, to the foot

NEW TICKET SYSTEM
ON RAPID TRANSIT

The Staten Island Rapid Transit
Railway Company yesterday began
new system Of tickets between this
city, Tottenville and the various sta
tions on the Amboy division of the
railroad. Instead of having a sepa-
rate ticket for each station along the
line, as heretofore, one ticket pur-
chased now at the same price can be
used between several stations.
The new tickets, for instance,
read: 'St. George. Annsdale to
Tottenville," "Stapleton, Clifton,
Princes Bay to Tottenville," and the
same from this city.
The new system greatly reduces
the number of tickets for each agent
along the line and the agent at the
