February is the date for the event and an effort will be made to have as many of the business men, factory managers and citizens present as possible. Some good, out-of-town speaker will be se cured to niRke nil address on Board of Trade work and civic improve ment and advancement. The Board of Trade desires every man in the city to reserve the dale, February 9, anil be present on this occasion. The matter of telegraph service was discussed and a committee will see what can bo done toward im proving the conditions. It is held that in a manufacturing city of 30, 000 population there should be bet ter facilities than at present when the telegraph office is closed at 8 o'clock at night and all day Sunday, with the exception of one hour. The service is so unsatisfactory to many of the local Industries that some in stalled a private wire direct Into their plants. The Board of Trade feels that the telegraph company would make decided improvements If the proper pressure were brought to bear. Ways and means were discussed to secure money for advancing the Interests of the city in advertising and bringing Industries here. The experiences of other cities were dis cussed and it was thought that the Board of Aldermen might make an appropriation for this work similar to what is done In New Brunswick with such good results.

CASE Another Important, factor In the Auit between the Perth Araboy Beef Company end the Grand Central Beef Company was coneuinated yesterday in Chancery Chambers at Newark. Vice Chancellor Howell granted the attorneys for the complainants an In junction restraining Joseph Klein, a brother-in-law of Harry Rein, who claims he is president of the Grand Central Beef Company, from trans ferring:, assigning or surrendering a lease, which the complainants allege was fraudulently obtained by Joseph Klein and Harry Rein, with the In tention of running tho store at 309 State street to the detriment of the creditors of the Grand Central Beef Company, which Is insolvent. In granting the Injunction yester day, Vice Chancellor Howell said that the manner In which the lease was obtained appears collusive and the matter should be looked into by the Court of —.ancery. As Lawyer Thomas Brown, who represents the defendants, cannot speak in the chancery chambers, not being a master In chancery, James S. Wight appeared for him. Leo Goldberger end John W. Beekman appeared for the complainants. Subpoenas have been issued nnd will be served by the sheriff in a few days. A final hearing In March will probably end the case, before the vice chancellor.

RARITAN LAUNDRY. 44 Fayette St. Téléphoné 00-W. DECLARE REPUBLIC WAS UNDER SPEED r Grew Of Florida1 Shift Blame To Others. GIVEN OVATION New l'ork, Jan. 27.—Responsibility for the t-ollUion between the Republic and the Florida wee placed tuday npon the White Star line vessel by the American ameute of the Uoyd Itaiiano Une. It la charged that the Republic was running at high speed, while the Flor ida wat traveling at "moderate speed." It Is denied that there was any misun derstanding of orders or wrong steer ing and that there is any ground for criticism either of officers or crew of the Florida. After an investigation at which Cap- | tain Rusplnl and most of the other of ficers of the Florida were examined this statement was issued by C. B. Richard A Co.. agents for the Florida: "When the Republic became visible In the fog she was crossing the bow of the Florida from «larboard \o port and running at a high rate of speed. "The helm of the Florida was promptly pal to starboard, hoping to •wing the bow of the Italian steamer to starboard and to assist in avoiding the danger of collision. The other steamer was, however, running so fast that the vessels collided. "The officers of the Florida are In no way to blame for the collision. Oa t^e bridge at the time were Captain Ffu splnl. First Officer Rafaello Gargulle and a quartermaster. "They ware proceeding cnotiously in their course, sounding the fog signal frequently. They first heard the Re public's fog whistle at a distance of probably a mile and a half to the northwest. They held tbelr course. No signal was given them by the Repub lic indicating that they should go to starboard or port. "The sound of the Republic'» whis tle became plainer. Captain Rusplnl reduced the speed of bis boat to five miles an hour. Suddenly the Republic, which had turned to tbe southeast from tbe ccorae she held when her tog signals were first beard, loomed op right In front of the Florida. The collision was unavoidable." If the admiralty court holds that the officers of the Florida were at fault when the Italian steamship rammed the Republic tbe owners of the Florida will be liable to the extent of <1,020, tK50. This Is the value of tbe Florida, her passenger fares and cargo charges. The Lloyd Italiano, or tbe Socle ta dl Navigation», as the company which owns tbe Florida is variously known, purchased the Florida three years ago for 11,000,000. The value of tbe fares and cargo carrying charges amounted to (30,000. Although, the Republic and what went down with ber was worth J2.800.000, tbe owners of the Florida cannot be held responsible beyond the value of the Florida. WIRELESS FOR ALL SHIPS.

RIPPED THE PADDED CELL Hallahan, Placed There for Safe Keeping, Wields His Knife Disastrously. CUT THE THREE SIDES The padded cell In the lockup was practically ruined early thle morning liy John Hallahan. forty-eight years f>ld, of 147 Smith street, after be had been placed there to sleep off too much drink. Hallahan was found by Patrolman Dunham on the front stoop of his home, at Smith street and Madison avenue, shortly after 1 o'clock trying to get in. He tried to assist the man, but thoee in the house said that they did not want him to come in as, being noisy, he would disturb someone who was ill. The police man then took him to the Majestic lunch room, where he left him. Later he came back and found Hal lahan trying once more on his front porch, kicking at the door. Roundsman Morris came along a little later and told the patrolman to take Hallahan to the police station as a lodger. Dunham did so and placed him In the padded cell, tell ing him to go to sleep. Hallahan said "All right Jack." As he was placed there as a lodger and not as an arrested prisoner, he was not searched by either the policeman or Sergeant Mulligan. Hallahan, It Is believed, had a slight attack of the delirium tre mens and did not sleep, but Instead took out hie penknife shortly after ward and started to slash the cell. He succeeded in cutting up the pad ded back and two sides before Ser geant Mulligan learned what was taking place and took the knife from him. Hallahan did not cut the front of the cell, but the other three sides are ruined and. It Is believed that It will cost over J100 to replace them. No charge has .been made against Hallahan and he was taken, this morning, to Hartmann'a hotel. In Front street, by some friends. Mayor Bollschweller Inspected the ruined cell thle morning, which is the only padded one In the lockup, and remarked that It looked pretty bad. On account of Hallahan'· con dition he was not considered to be responsible for his action and. If he had been searched the damage would not have taken place, Patrol man Dunham says be felt Hallahan's pockets in search of a revolver but, finding none, did not think about a knife. Before Patrolman Dunham found Hallahan on his stoop. Sergeant Mulligan, at the police station, had received a request by telephone from the house asking that an officer be sent there «uickfjr.

Governor Fort today gavi out a statement with reference to thf discussion over the proposition Ml take a larger proportion of the rail* road taiee for the support of tlit state. The governor resented the charge that he had made an attack on th· ubllc echool system of the state, ana e declared that the atteuipte t· make It appear that the su^Keetton· which he had made were antagonistic to the echool», were quite gratuitous and founded entirely on Ignorance ot misinformation, he was not quit· eyre which.

He replied that all the discussion In opposition to his message was founded on aa entire miaapprehenslon of the Going on Governor Fort said th* effort seemed to be to make it apj pear that the proposed increase «I the proportion of ntllwtty taie» thel should come to the state, was an aU - tack upon the public school system, or In some way an attack on th· fund for the support of the yubli· schools; and because of this some confusion had arisen lu the minds 01 the people which had ted them to be lieve that the fond which was pro? posed to be taken was the sebeol fund·." . .

"This is utterly untrue." said th· governor, "as the school fund of th* state is an Invested fund άτΛ is no part, and never has been airy Part, of the taxes derived frotn property; and the echool fund of th* state Is not touched la any way by any suggestion whlchlhavt^uade.

Governor Fort stated that the sug gestion which he hail tnaùe woiilii relieve the necessity of a direct stat* tax: would still pive to the school· over $1,600,000 from the railway taxes, and if the valuation of railway property should be increased in thé future, would probably give them •ver $2,000,000, as it present. The governor was also asked what ils views were with regard to appro priations at the present eassion ot the legislature, and he declared that he was opposed to the making of an^ appropriations at this session until [he financial problem was settled. "In aiiy event," continued the gov· srnor, "1 am opposed to any nitrav·» ugance in expenditure, and no ap propriation will meet with my ap proval unless It Is clearly necesearj» for the purpose for which it is made. The strictest economy should be ob-> nerved, and will be Insisted upon by; me in order that the state's oxpen-t see may be kept to the very limit oj necessity, so that as much of the railway taxes ae will be possible can -ontlnue to be devoted, as at present, to the maintenance of the puhlle^^ schools of the state. "For myself." the governor said tn conclusion. "I have always been an jdvocate of and was attendant upon he public schools ot our state.
