NEE-TU-IONA CLUB
FAVORS SMALLER
BOARD FOR COUNTY
Administration of Mayor Hauss-
ling Endorsed by Fourth
Ward Democrats.

The Nee-Tu-Tona Democratic Club of
the Fourth ward went on record last
night as indorsing Mayor Jacob Hauss-
ling for a third term, and also the idea
Of a smaller board of f~reeholders, to
be elected at large, to control county
affairs.
Mayor Haussling's administration
was considered by a number of speak
ers to be one of the best hat the city
has ever had.
In the matter of the smaller board
of freeholders, DIR. p. j. McGuinness,
president of the club, and also former
county collector, rave a number of
reasons why a smaller board would be
more effective n economical. y"
was that the board, as at present CON-
stituted, gave the suburban towns more
benefits than Newark. as every little
roadway was mad a county road. and
was maintained at the expense of tho
county, of which Newark is a part.
Those conditions were allowed by the
freeholders from those districts, who
told their constituents that they would
not be assessed for the roadways like
the people in Newark.
Il found that to be true in a num-
Der of places" said the former county
collector, when / was in office, and
when the farmers were informed mat
they would have to pay they Appeared
to their freeholders, who were COIN
PEELED to acknowledge that they nlsih-
formed them with the object of getting
their votes. Then again. nearly all of
the county institutions are controlled
by the freeholders outside of Newark,
which is unjust, as this city pays The
greater part of the taxes. Take any
roao In the county outside of Newark,
/. end you will find them kept in a better
: condition than those in his city
After several others had expressed
themselves as being in favor of the
small board, the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense and
expression of the Nee-Tu-Tona Demo-
cratic Club, of the Fourth ward, to In
dorse the action of the Democratic
County Committee advocating the
adoption at the next general election
of a small board of nine members for

cussion of reported utterances of Mr..

to an anti-Japanese feeling expressed
in San Francisco.
The Secretary of State expressed sur
prise that notice sh ould be taken OF
such trivialties. He said
Mr. Shaw's speech was obviously
nothing but an argument for ship sub
sidy and what General Bell said made
no impression and was an ordinary ex-
preston of the army. immigration ar

entirely satisfactorily. If, in spite of
this, agitators will talk, no serious

RAILROADS TURN DOWN
EMPLOYEES DEMANDS

Cleveland, Ohio, February 25.-The
replies of the southern railroads to
the wage demands of the Broth erhood
of Railway Trainmen and the Order
of Railway Conductors were opened
here yesterday. The refusal of tho
roads to meet the mems terms was
unanimous.
This places the southern railway sit
uation in the same condition as that
In the territory north of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and east of the Mis-
sissinni 1t is now certain that any
action taken by the men to press their
demands will be simultaneous in the
east and south.
The result of the strike vote of the
Baltimore and Ohio men will be known
to President w. G. Lee of the train
men and Grand Master Garrestson of
the conductors early next week.
If the decision is to call a strike,
as it is expected to be, the executive
councils of the two orders, which will
meet here later, are expected to sub
nit to the men on all the railroads
the question whether "a general strike
shall be called.
The strike votes on the Baltimore
and Ohio and at large will not be i'm
mediately effective. 1t is understood
at the brotherhood headquarters here
that the votes will be held in reserve
as ammunition by the chiefs of the two
orders, to be used only in the event
of final refusal by the roads to con-
cede the wage adjustment asked.
In any event affairs will not reach
n crisis, it is now expected, for two
months at least.
