EDISON EXTENDS
TELEPHONES USE
"TeleScribe'S" First EXhi-
bition Proves COnvinc-
ing Demonstration.

A demonstration Of Thomas A. Edl-
sons new invention for recording both
sides of a telephone conversation was
given yesterday afternoon in the office
of the Seeley Office Appliance Com
pany, ia Liberty ST. One might call 1t
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. -,
The Edison debating machine is well
known. 1t forms part of the new de-
vice called the "telescribe." The other
part is box containing metal covered
batteries and socket into which fits
the large telephone receiver. A small
receiver is held TO the ear. A wire
connects both parts of the device.
Clinton Durand, third vice-president
of Thomas A. Edison, Inc, describes
the instrument thus:
"The debating machine is equipped
with a micro-recorder, which swlvels
into place over the wax cylinder rec
ord and is wired up with the 'tele-
scribe on the users desk. In short, the
'telescribe' is n complete telephone ex-
tension, run with its own small bat
teries concealed in the casing.
"a telephone message IS 'telescribcd'
in the following way: The receiver OF
the regular desk telephone is removed
from the hook and placed i'll the socket
acoustic connection to the debating
machine IS made without danger Of
criticism from the telephone company,
as the instrument il neither mechanic
ally nor electrically connected to its
lines. The user then takes up small
receiver, which is part of the 'tele-
SCRIBE and gives his call to the ex--
change. at tho same time starting and
stopping the debating machine by
means Of two small buttons on the
telescribe' in order TO record the con-
versation between pauses and delays,
thus advoiding any waste of running
the wax cylinder meanwhile"
The demonstration given for the
press was convincing. The machine is
not yet on the market. Mr.. Edison has
been working on the invention for five
years. In 1878 he wrote i'll a magazine
article that the telephone woul Id be per-
fected through the photograph.

COOLER WEATHER COMING
Temperature Drop Predicted
for To- night.

When autumn is officially sworn in
this afternoon about o'clock it's
going to be cooler The weather man
has made affidavit to that effect, true
copies thereof being reprinted else
where in this paper.
As yesterdays programme was car
ried through exactly as forecast, the
optimistic will find food for reflection
in the prediction that it will be cooler
by tonight. Clouds will also come
into the sky, but whether they are TO
be rain clouds or just ordinary stage
effects for the sun and moon, is not
divulged.
While the mercury went no higher
yesterday than the day before, it
climbed just as far, and as the humid
ity was greater there was much suffer
ing. Out in Montclair, n. j., pupils
OF the high and Hillside grammar
schools were dismissed because of the
heat.
Communities adjacent to New York
on all sides complained of drouth, and
in one or two cases the lack of water
seemed to constitute Il real peril.
Mount Vernon prepared to ask New
York for the loan of water. A few
places in New Jersey which rely OH
springs for their supply reported that
the sources had gone dry.

Clearing House Commit

The committee of bankers appointed
by the Clearing House committee OF

the proportion of the $45,000,00O to be
raised here which they are expected
to contribute.
No bank will have moro than 25 per
cent of its contribution invested in
the gold fund at one time. There is no
change in the plan to call for 20 per
cent assessment Immediately, the ad-
ministration of this $25,000,000 to be
conducted by the Clearing House com

gin, president of the Chase National
Bank, is chairman. In asking the CO.
operation of the New York banks the
committee said:
"Thc banking and commercial in
terest9 of this country are suffering
from the unprecedented arrangement
of our international trade and banking
arrangements. European SleulIo a.

our merchants and manufacturers be
relieved of the expense and difficulties
now imposed upon them in settling
their foreign accounts.
"The Federal Reserve Board recog-
nizes the necessity Of providing an
immediate solution of the problem, and
asks the cooperation Of the entire
country. The Federal Reserve Board is
best able to cope with this interna-
tional situation, and proposes to give
its Endorsement and recommendation

No Chance for Republi.
cans to Amend Meas
ure in House.
DEBATE TO BE KEPT
WITHIN FOUR HOURS
Minority Report Calls on Demo-
Gratis to Practise Economy
or Issue Bonds.
NON o. TrIhune Rnreau. J

Washington, Sept. 22.-Reporting the
emergency war tax bill to-day, the
Democrats of the Ways and Means
Committee offered simultaneously a
resolution providing the most drastic
rule ever proposed in the House TO jam
che measure through on Thursday.
Under this rule. which the Rules
Committee is expected to report to-
morrow, the minority has no oppor-
tunity to amend the revenue measure
and debate is limited TO four hours.
There is to be no debate under the So
called five-minute rule, the previous
question being considered as ordered
on the bill after four hours of general
discussion. One motion to recommit
will be in order.
Mr.. Underwood introduced the reso-
luton for the gag" rule, following the
failure of Democratic and Republican
leaders to agree on a time limit for
debate. Mr.. Payne asked for at least
two days, asserting that the pending
bill is a taxation measure which will
lew an additional S100,000,000 upon
the taxpayers. He added that when
the Spanish war tax bill was under
consideration, during actual war, the
House, by unanimous consent, debated
the measure for three days.
Mr.. Payne said the Republicans
would fight the rule and the bill every
inch of the way. although it is realized
that the Democrats, with topheavy
majority, can "steam roller" the mi
aority.
The majority and minority reports
on the revenue bill were filed. The
minority report arraigns Democratic
extravaganza in appropriations and
contends that the war tax bill is the
fruit of Democratic mismanagement
rather than of the war in Europe. The
Underwood tariff bill is denounced as
q failure from a revenue producing
standpoint. and the suggestion is made
that since the administration must
raise additional funds to replenish the
Treasury balance the amount should
be raised by an issuance of bonds in
stead of by heavier taxes. The income
of the average person is falling off

OLD SHELL KILLS BOY
Battered Projectile of Spanish
War Days Proves Loaded.

A one-pound Hotchkiss shell which
had been kicking around the neighbor-
hood for month was exploded yester-
day in front of 226 East seth St, and
three small boys were taken to Metro
politan Hospital, where ore Of Them
Thomas Mullaney, died late last night
The boys we're taking turns at ham
mering the shell when it exploded
They were Thomas Mullaney, seven
years old, Of 315 East 74th ST., and
Timothy Horgan, seven, Of PA East
seth st. John Horgan, eight, was
thrown down but not seriously hurt. .
Inspector Eagan, of the Bureau OF
Combustibles, said the shell was of the
type used in the Spanish-American
War. Detectives learned that the
father of boy in the neighborhood
brought it home from vacant apart
ment in which he had been working.
The man did not think it was loaded,
it is said, and the boys determined to
find out.

'CITY LOAN TWICE
OVERSUBSCRIBED
More than 10000 Orders
from This Country
and Abroad.

More than 10000 applications were
received by the syndicate managers ior
the 500, 100000 of New YORK City
notes, il was said mt tho offices OF .;
=. Morgan Co. late yesterday, aho
from every point Of view the sale was
n gratifying success. The aggreBatee
of subscriptions received up 70 ~
o'clock in the morning, wh,n the poone

In a good many cases the panks
which are members Of the syndlca'S

ceiyed approximately 5000 were SEM

to Kuhn, Loeb e. Co.
Though there were number OF APP
plications for large sized blocks OF enc
notes. the feature Of the sale was the
widespread demand on the part OF
small investors. Allotment, 1t was
hoped, could be made to-day, although
in view of the number of subscriptions

fore tomorrow. -,
First in order OF preference will
come the foreign applications, and next
the orders from small investors from
ali over the country. Where subscrip-
lions originated plainly from places
outside Of New York City these appll-
cants will be given consideration over
local bidders, since one of the objects
of the sale was to bring money into
New York City.
The amount Of the foreign subscrip-
tions was said to be satisfactory. No
figures were given out, however, foI
one reason because a large part OF the
applications from abroad were made
through bankers here and so bore nc
evidence on their face or originating
across the ocean.
Although il was common knowledge
during the day that the note issue was
being oversubscribed and that through
foreign subscriptions the amount OF
exchange to be sent abroad TO pay for
the maturing city warrants was con-
siderably decreased, foreign exchange
rates held rather firm, and there was
comparatively little exchange Offering
Dealers, it was reported, were hold
ing back, expecting a rush of demad
to meet first of the month obligations
on the other side of the Atlantic
Would-be buyers, on the other hand
believing that exchange was bound to
work considerably lower, with the for
nation of a gold pool and with the
successful outcome Of the city's note
sale, declined to climb for their eX-
change. Demand rates, in consequence,
went off from 49650 to 1880, without
attracting much new buying, and cables
fell from 49750 to 4.9590

charge of numbering Mrs. Louise Bal

Cf nervous collapse. DR.. Edwin Car
man, her husband, and George N. Levy,
her counsel, plan to make application
TO Sheriff Stephen Petit Of Nassau

to the Nassau Hospital.
DR.. Guy +. Cleghorn, the prison ply
sicial, said yesterday that he consid-
cred her condition grave and that he
would favor her transfer TO the hos
pital as u prisoner for treatment. I'm
less she is removed it is not thought
likely that she will be able to 20 to
trial next month.
The authorities are expected to OPP
pose the application, if for no other
reason than that such step would
mean a heavy expense to the county,
as she would have to be guarded night

Special to the Evening star.

MADISON, Oct. THAT a special

October 27 to decide for or against
the establishment of the commission
form of government in this town
was the decision of the committee of
five on this subject, which met last
night in the Y M. c. A. building.
Some of the members of the commit
tee were at first undecided as to
whether it would be better to hold
the test before or after the general
election, but all finally decided that
a week before would be suitable
time.
1t was found, on totaling up the
number of signers on the petitions,
that only 179 signers have been Sc
cured, but the members decided that
there is enough sentiment in favor
of an election to justify one, and the
remaining twenty-five signers will
be procured within the next few
days. All circulators of petitions
will meet next Friday night and take
affidavit before Attorney Howard f.
Barrett. The petitions will be filed
Saturday morning with Borough
Clerk Samuel G. Willis. This will
bring the election on October 81
It is the plan of the committee to
hold at least one public meeting
and to send out a circular of educa-
ton in order to inform the voters on
this subject
Those present at last nights meet
ing were w. Reginald Baker, chair
man; Lewis A. and Frank Waters
and James F. Mckinney.

NIGHT SCHOOL FOR
DOVER IS PLANNED
Will Have a Special Domestic
Science Class for
Girls.
speeIaI TO the Evening SCAR.

DOVER, Oct I'm order to de-
termine the ACCESSIBILITY of establish
ing a night school in Dover. the
Board of Education last night au-
thorized Supervising Principal Wildly
V. Singer to obtain registrations of
those wishing to take advantage of
the proposition.
Mr.. Singer reported that he had in
vestigated the cost of the work, and
stated that it would not be burden
some to the town. inasmuch as an
appropriation win be allotted from the
State funds. Eighty German resi-
dents, employed in the Guenther
hosiery mills. have registered. stating
their willingness to attend.
The principal further reported that
local teachers would take advantage
of the opportunity to earn extra
salary by teaching the foreigners at
the rate of 81 a session, which will be
from 1870 p. m. to $3.50 p. m. There
will be a domestic science class for
girls who have been compelled to
leave school at an early age.
The statistical report of the three
schools for the month of September
revealed a total enrolment of 1,S43
pupils, divided as follows: Northside,
1,044; Southside, 357; Eastside, 442,
The percentage of attendance was
96.2. Mr.. Singer said that the rooms
are overcrowded in all the schools,
and that at the opening of the term
il was found necessary to divide the
fourth grade class and put them on
short time. One division attends
school at $3.50 a. m to 1920 and re-
turn at 1890, remaining until 2:30.
The other section begins the morning
session at 1890, remainuntil 1880, re-
turing again at 2:30 and concluding
the afternoon session at 4:30. Two
sets of teachers are required by the
arrangement. An average of A
pupils to each room Is the result of
the large enrolment.
According to the report of County
superintendent j. Howard Hulsart
for the 1894 school year the local
schools are the lowest among the
towns of the county in the cost per
pupil and the cost in the average
attendance. Dover had the highest
percentage of attendance for the
school year and also had the lowest
number of tardy marks.
The teachers committee reported
that Miss Mary S. Harris had been
employed as domestic science teacher
succeeding Miss Rogers, who re-
signed last month. The report of the
medical inspector showed 1866 in
spectlons for the month of Septem-
Der.
A request from the Eastern Penn
sylyania Power Company for permits
sion to erect a pole on the Northside
School property was refused by the
board. Bills amounting to $1,61S67
We're ordered paid and the clerk was
instructed to have a note drawn for
$4,000 for teachers salaries.

SUMMIT REVOKES
HUNTING PERMITS
Council AboIishes Privilege in
City Limits, Despite OPP
position of PringIe.
specIaI 70 the EvenIng star.

SUMMIT, oct. 7.--Despite the
vigorous opposition of Councilman
Edward G. Pringle Common Council
last night revoked all hunters licen-
ses which it had previously issued
and prohibited hunting or cunning
within this city's limits
The prohibiting measure, is was ex-
planned, by Alderman-at-large Glenn
ent X. Corbin, president of the coun-
Gil, will not apply to the Y. M. c. Al
or Summit Fish and Game Club or
similar organizations which may con-
duct trap shooting or hunting on
their own properties.
Councilman Pringle in ocering the
prohibition of hunting here declared
the measure which was adopted was
an administration measure and would
prove to be illegal as the State is
sued licenses to hunt and n municipal
ordinance could not conflict with a
State law. Mr.. Pringle said he was
heartily in favor of eliminating all
reckless shooting or use of firearms,
or hunting near occupied houses.
President Corbin replied that, in his
opinion, the measure is perfectly
valid, and the vote to prohibit hunt
ing was adopted unanimously, even
Councilman Pringle voting aye when
he found his fight against the action
was futile.
City Solicitor Cora n. Williams
filed an opinion. in which he stated
that he could find no law which au-
thorized the placing on the ballots at
the November election of the question
of the purchase of high school site
The city counsel said he had consult
ed the county clerk and that official
had advised him that unless he 0he
city counseD could produce legal au-
thority for having the question placed
on the ballot the county clerk would
not have the question printed on the
ballots. There was no comment or
discussion on the opinion.
A request of the Women's Political
Union for permission to place suf-
frage tent in the public park was
''regretfully denied" as the council
felt that the park property could be
used for park purposes only. Miss
Caroline Theurer, who is to be mar
ried in November, rendered her res
ignation as city stnographer. to take
effect October 81. 1t was decided TO
receive applications for the position,
the applicants to state the amount of
salary expected and their experience
