MADE TO FIND
MISSING g. K. HARPER.

Relatives and friends of Gilbert X.
Harper, a plumber, who formerly re-
sided at 464 Fifteenth avenue, in this
city, are attempting to locate him.
Harper CAME to this city from Albany
about ten years ago. and for a time
kept in touch with his family. About
two years ago, however. his letters
suddenly ceased, and since that time
nothing has beer heard from him.
Harper's mother was very much dis
turbed at the disappearance of her son,
and since she became Ill has called
necessarily for him. The local union
says that he was once a member but
severed his relations with them. In
quiries at the address given in the
directory brought no results, the people
residing there saying that in the eigh-
teen months which they have occupied
the house no n by that name has
stayed there.

ASK TAFT TO
START SHOW
Committee Invites President to
Open Newark's Industrial
Exposition.

The President of the United States
will probably open the Newark In
dustria1 Exposition OF the evening of
May 70. A letter was mailed to Presi-
dent Taft this morning by the execu-
tive committee. asking him to press
the button and also to attend and par
tieipate in the opening ceremonies. The
letter pointed out hal the exposition
is designed to advance the general well
fare of Newark and to impress upon
the country at large the fact that the
city is now the fourteenth in the ma
ton in population, the eleventh in
manufacturing and that 1t is enjoying
the period Of it's greatest prosperity.
The committee is planning to have
impressive ceremonies at I o'clock on
the evening of the opening day, and
it is hoped that President Taft will
start the machinery of the exposition
in motion. other features, including
instrumental and vocal music and sew
eral distinguished speakers, are to be
decided upon by the committee soon.
It has been the custom at the World's
fairs held in the United States to nave
the exposition started by the Presi-
dent, and, inasmuch as Newark hopes
it's home product display will attract
nationwide interest, 1T wishes the
President to take part in the official
opening,
Arrangements are under way to
bring many other distinguished guests
from May 10 to May 25, with the hope
that they will carry away with them
tidings Of the city's present industrial
and commercial strength and the pos
sibilities offered here rs n of he
worlds great manufacturing centres.
These distinguished guests will be in
vited to give talks in the course of lee"
lures that Is being arranged as a part

NEW TERMINAL,
NOW RUMORED
Central Road and Lehigh VAL
ley to Connect on
Meadows.

Following the announcement made in
The Star last Wednesday of the
change to be made by the Lehigh Val
ley railroad from the use of the Penn
sylvania tracks and terminal to the
Jersey Central comes the rumor of a
new station to be erected at the Jersey
City terminal of the Central railroad
of adequate proportions and facilities
to take care of The expected increased
amount OF passenger traffic. The state
ment was neither verified nor denied
in the offices of the Central railroad
in New York today. The officials
stated that it was not definitely known
what would be don with regard to the
taking care of the additional traffic
of the Lehigh road.
The tracks of the Lehigh Valley and
the Central railroad run along side of
each other across the meadows, and it
was stated that the connection for the
terminal Of the Jersey Central would
be made in the meadows.
Anent the agreement between the
Lehigh Valley and the Central rail-
road comes the statement from the
Pennsylvania offices that the company
might abandon its present terminal at
Jersey City and run all its passenger
trains into the station in Manhattan.
In this event the old terminal would
probably be turned into a freight sta
ton.
Frank Shepherd, general manager of
the Pennsylvania railroad, who left
New York last night for a two weeks
outing, refused to make a definite
statement with regard to the future
plans of the Pennsylvania Company.
He said he might discuss the matter
on his return.
At the offices of the Pennsylvania
today it was stated that there was no
one in authority to talk on the subject.
Mr.. Shepherd was named as the only
man who could furnish any informa-
ton of any kind.
Difficulties arising from the with
drawal of much of the ferry service
Of the Pennsylvania subsequent to the
opening of the Manhattan station, it
is reported, have caused the break be-
tween that company and the Lehigh
Valley. which has been using the Penn
sylvania tracks for many years. The
agreement between the two roads
terminated some time ago and the Le-
high is using the tracks on a special
agreement, which the Pennsylvania
has ordered vacated after August 1.
Railroad officials predict that the new
arrangement will result In much COM
petition between the roads in both the
freight and passenger traffic.

Washington, Oct. 22-With the
examination of witnesses summoned
for single session tomorrow the sem
ate campaign funds committee ex-
poets to finish the investigation. as
SO far planned, and to adjourn until

Albert j. Beveridge for his 1904 cam
paign in Indiana will be the prin-
cipal feature Of tomorrows inquiry.
Senator Beveridge himself, as well as
the men associated with him in that
campaign, have been summoned to
appear. Members Of the committe
did not expect to go into the mat
at this time, having planned to con-
clude the present series Of hearings
today. However, Senator Pomerene
had obtained information relating to
the Beveridge matter and requested
that it be cleared up at once.
Senator Pomerene in his examina-
tion Of George w. Perkins, yesterday
became involved in heated con-
troversy with the witness, who denied
having furnished between $4,000
and 100000 for the campaign for the
1ndianan in 1904. Mr.. Perkins said
he remembered sending only $4,000
to Mr.. Beveridge, which the latter re-
turned. This he remembered because
he almost dropped dead" when the
money came back. Senator Pomerene
declared his information was that
$4,000 or $4,000 had been sent into
Indiana by Mr.. Perkins after the ma
tional committee had failed to furnish
a 100000 fund which had been
promised to that State.
Senator Beveridge himself is busy

diana, where he is running for gov
ernor. and may not be able to come

Mr.. Booth stated that four new
carts and street scraper were need
ed by the city and was given author
ity TO proceed in the matter and pur-
chase the vehicles by competitive bid.
The matter of securing an incinera-
tor for the city was discussed, but no
action was taken.
The next matter disposed Of was the
extension of the lease of the First Ma
tional Bank for ten years for which
application had been made. The
proposition was fully discussed by all
members. Mayor Jennings filed
written statement of his position.
He was opposed to the granting OF
lease on the grounds that the city
needed the space for its own Offices
and because Of needed changes in the
Academy of Music. which could not
be made if the quarters were leased.
Mr.. Rowland was in favor of leas-
ing the building for the ten year pe-
riod. Mr.. Booth also was in favor
OF leasing the property. The matter
was finally settled for the time being
by granting lease Of the property
for an extension OF five years. in
stead Of ten as requested, at a rental
OF $1,000 per annum. Messrs. Booth
and Rowland favored, the motion
while the mayor opposed it.

make no further speeches until Col
Roosevelt has recovered.
The governor spent the day at the
State house at Trenton, dealing with
the routine Of New Jersey business.
He made brief call at his own po-
litical headquarters and then walked
to the railroad station.
The Federal, the private car he
used in his campaign trips, was stand
ing there, but the occupant this time
was Gov. Hiram Johnson of Califor-
MIA. The New Jersey governor had
only few minutes to get aboard his
train and missed greeting the Cali

The governor had one diversion
from his day of routine. 1t was
phonograph reproduction of some of
his speeches humorusly jumbled and
distorted. One of the youthful stenog-
raphers at the governors political
headquarters had dictated in a deep
voice some excerpts from the govern
or's speech, twisted into mock form.
and the governor laughed heartily
while he listened.
Parodies on the governors manner

ran through the record.
