FREEHOLDERS DISCUSS
NEW COUNTY BUILDING
May be Erected in New Brunswick
to Accommodate Growing
County Business.
OBJECT TO MAKING ADDITIONS
Special to the BVENINO JfBW8.
New Brunswick, May 13:—Before
the meeting of the Board of Free
holders held yesterday afternoon was
adjourned the members went Into a
discussion of what was for the best
Interests of the county In providing
more room for the surrogate and the
county clerk. It was brought out
that the present building was inade
quate and something would have to
b« done very shortly about giving
these officials more room. The mem
bers of the board do not feel that It
would be profitable to build an ex
tension on to the present building.
8ome of the members of the board
favored the erection of a new build
ing. The matter will again come up
at the meeting of the board to be
held nert month, at which time it is
thought that some definite steps will
be taken. ν
The question of enlarging the
building was brought- up by Direc
tor Hendricks. The NEWS an
nounced several days ago that a
movement was on foot to hate the
building enlarged. The director in
formed the members that the pres
ent building was entirely too small,
that the county clerk did not have
enough room for the storing of rec
ords. The room where thd coypiste
work he said was too small and the
same condition of affairs existed in
the room where the lawyers make
their searches.
Andrew Ely, the Dayton member
of the board, did not think that the
board should go to the expense o(
building an extension to the present
building, as It would be a long one
and would extend in the direction ol
Paterson street, which would take
away the beauty of the court house
park.
"I thing the board should have n
county clerk's office at least two sto
ries higher than the present one,'
continued the freeholder, "and I am
not in favor of making a long exten
sion to the present building. Thii
county is increasing in Kb businesi
and that means that there must b<
ïnore room for county offices. Tc
build an extension Would. cpst a con
siderable sum of money and aftei
that was done you would not have t
building that you would feel proud
of. X believe in taking this propo
sition up In a serious manner ant:
whatever we do let It be well done.'
Addition To Cost 4140,000.
Director Hendricks stated that ai
addition to the present building
would cost every cent of $40,000
and this was a large sum to expenc
for that purpose. If a new building
were erected all of the offices of th<
county would be together and th<
county would not have to pay anj
money out for office rent, as it ii
now doing. If a new building wer<
secured the offices of the county col
lector could be there, besides th<
offices of the surrogate and countj
clerk, probation officer, assistan
prosecutor and county superintend
ent of schools. In addition then
[would be ample room for all. This,
of course, would Involve the expen
diture of a large sum of money.
Opposed To Old Plans.
Freeholder Ely declared that he
was opposed to the old plane which
had been drawn up for the extension
and he would never vote for them.
Director Heçdrlrks said that he did
not approve of them and so said the
other members of the board.
It was brought out that In other
cities the county court house and all
county building were contained In
the one building. Somervtlle was
mentioned for Instance, together
with Essex county. In these two
counties all of the county buildings
are together, the court house hav
ing been recently built In Somerset
county. This county could not see
such progress Just yet, and It was
deemed unwise to wait until that
time arrives here.
Huildlng Would Cost $130,000.
The board then went Into the dis
cussion of what a new building
would cost. It was argued that
$130,000 would erect an entire new
building that would accommodate all
of the offices and when such a build
ing was erected the county would
have one that It would feel proud of.
Director Hendricks said that the
board should give this matter care
ful consideration, and it was decided
to let the matter go over until the
next meeting of the board, when it
will again come up for discussion.
Public Service Ready.
Freeholder Anthony J. Gebhardt
reported that he had received word
from Colonel Hine stating that the
Public Service Street Railway Com
pany was ready to go on with the
work of improving Raritan avenue.
Highland Park and the River road.
The freeholder said that there was
disagreement between the committee
of the board and the company. The
company holds that they do not have
to take care of nine feet^ of the
road, while the committee contends
that It does. He said that he wotild
like to have the other members of
the board make an Inspection of the
road before'the work was started.
Letter From Tax Board.
A communication was received
from the County Tax Board stating
that at the organization meeting the
members had appointed William A.
Spencer as clerk of the board at a
salary of $1,400, this being tht same
salary that he received last year.
The communication was filed.
Flower* and Flags For G. A. R.
The freeholders this year will pay
for the flowers and flags that the dif
ferent Grand Army Posts of the
county will use on Memorial Day
for the decorating of the graves of
I their deceased members. Herbert
Appleby, of Old Bridge Post, sent a
communication to the board stating
that this post would require about
$20 for expenses. Samuel Garret
son, of Major Dandy Post, of Perth
Amboy, sent another communication

DR. RAMSAY
PRAISED IN
JERSEY CITY
Makes Address Before Hud
son County Medical Society
••Resolutions are Adopted.
GOVERNOR'S ACTION IS
SEVERELY CRITICISED
Jersey City, May 13:—Governor
Fort wae criticized last night at the
annual banquet of the Hudson Coun
ty Medical Society In the Jersey City
Club, for his veto of the medical bill
introduced by Assemblyman William
E. Ramsay, of Middlesex, to regulate
the medical profession and prevent
osteopaths who did not pass a medi
cal examination from practicing as
physicians. He was scored first in
resolutions that were unanimously
adopted, and later by Dr. Ramsay,
the first speaker.
The resolutions,follow:
"Resolved, That the medical pro
fession of the county of Hudson, by
its combined society, representing a
body of seven hundred physicians,
does hereby unanimously, commend
the action of our state legislature in
its passage of Assembly bill No. 156,
regulating the practice of medicine
In this state; and be it further
"Resolved, That Assemblyman
Ramsay, of Middlesex county, by the
introduction of said bill and Its sup
port, as well as the legislators of
Hudson county by their co-operation,
have earned the gratitude and
thanks of this society; and be it fur
ther
tteeoivea, Tnat the profeeslop or
thle county are under deep obliga
tions to Dr. Ramsay, chairman of
the state legislative committee, for
his untiring exertions.
"We hereby nssure him of our
trust. In his integrity and greatly
deplore the circumstances which
make these resolutions a necessity;
and be it further
"Reeolved, That, his excellency, the
Governor of New Jersey, has by hie
action In vetoing the said bill, not
only failed to keep hie ante-election
promises, but displayed an unfortu
nate and unjust discrimination
which will rebound to the dlecredlt
of hie high office."
Dr. Arthur P. Masking, president
of the society, was toaetmaster and
Introduced Dr. Ramsay, who said he
had the distinction of being the
youngest head of the Middlesex
County Medical Society organized in
1735. He continued by alluding to
the shortcomings of some of the
medical profession by not interest
ing themselves more In politic·. He
referred to the public press and
said:
"The public press, when properly
used, le a public blessing, but when
one of your 'lemon' sheets will sell
its pages to the sacrifice of human
beings, they ought to bow their
heads In shame."
He said it was time the medical
profession of the state woke up and
put a stop to osteopaths, who are no
more than rubbers in Turkish baths,
or pltln liverymen, and who
won't take examinations to practice
medicine.
"If we don't," he said, "they will
make us all look foolish."
He referred to the medical bill
passing both houses and scored Gov
ernor Fort for vetoing it. He said
the governor was always against the
bill and all adherents to Fort In the
legislature were opposed to its pass
age. He said when he asked the
governor to give the bill a hearing,
becaues it had been passed by both
houses, the governor said he didn't
care "a cuss for the assembly or any
body else."
Dr. Ramsay explained that hie
reason for saying to the press after
the bill had been In the governor's
hands over Ave days without action
that It had become a law, that he did
so because the governor in his Inaug
ural address Bald he would let bills
become laws If they passed the leg
islature, and he had not acled upon
them after five days had elapsed.
He praleed the Hudson assembly
men for standing by the medical pro
fession In the last session of the leg
islature, with one exception, when
they stood for a bill permitting eyes
to be tested and spectacles sold by
men who are not physicians.

City Clerk LeRoe will In a few
days secure a supply of 1,000 brass
dog license tags to be used after
June 1, the date on which the pres
ent licenses expire. This year the
city clerk expects to Issue more
licenses than ever before, and the
tags he will shortly receive will
serve only as a first supply.
Despite the fact that June 1 Is
.usually the date on which the dog
catcher begins his duties, and that
date Is little more than two weeks
off, no official selection of a man to

Ernst, at present keeper of the city
pound, a few weeks ago filed an ap
plication with the council for the
position. Action towards appointing
a dog catcher may be taken by the
council Monday night.

STRONG ADDRESS ON
IMPORTANT SUBJECT
Large Audience Hears Dr. Bieder
wolf Talk on "The Meanest Man
in the World" Last Night.
REVIVAL 18 HAVING EFFECT
A feathering larger and more'
enthusiastic than that, of the night
before greeted Dr. Biederwoif on hie 1
second appearance last night. Thisj
wae really the opening night of the
campaign. Because of the confusion
incident to hit first appearance, Dr. ;
Biederwoif wae able to speak for ;
only a ehort while Wednesday night,
but last evening he began with hie
noted sermon, "The Meanest Man in j
the World."
Not referring to any individual or |
group, Dr. Biederwoif spoke for
every man In the city, scoring the
man who is aware of hie duty but ie
afraid to perform it as the biggest!
coward, and the man who knows his
duty and won't do It as the meanest
man on earth.
Homer Khodeheaver, trombone :
and vocal soloist, opened the meeting
with an instrumental selection. The j
opening prayer was made by Rev. C. j
W. Hanson, of the Danish M. E.
church, and was followed by Mr.
Rhodeheaver's rendition of the
"Sparrow Song."
Owing to a mistake In directions
the hall had a little more fresh air
than was needed last night, but that
will not. occur again. The evangelist
says everything will be in perfect,
order by tonight The following
meetings were announced for the
next few days:
Thin afternoon Miss Parshall will
m«et the high school girls in the
Danish Methodist church. An at
tractive service has been prepared.
This is the first appearance of Miss
Parshall In Perth Ainboy as a speak
er.
The Auditorium meeting for the
high school boys was cancelled owing
to the lnter-dass meet this after
noon. Dr. Biederwoif said that the
boys ought to go and that he would
try to get there himself.
Tonight the chorus choir will sing
on the corner of Smith and State
streets. The ideal weather makes
such a feature easy and delightful.
No one need miee this part of Joy
and uplift of these meetings.
The service in the Au,<UtorliUR. be
gin· at T:fO' o'clot-It.· - -..· _ .
. Sunday afternoon two Important
services will be held—one for men
only and one for women only. Dr.
Biederwoif speaks to the men In the
Auditorium at 2:80 P. M. on "The
White lilfe." Admission by ticket,
but the tickets are free. The doors
will open at 2 o'clock. Mr. Rhode
heaver will sing "The Ninety and
Nine.'' "The White Ufe" is the ad
dress that the evangelist delivered
to ten thousand men at the Balti
more International Y. P. S. Ç. E.
convention. Those who have heard
it say that, no greater religious ad
dress to men has been made In this
country.
The meeting ror women oniy at
the Presbyterian church begins at
3:30 P. M. Miss Parshall has ar
ranged an interesting mimical pro
gram for the first part of the ser
vice. Young women are to act ae
ushers, two having been chosen
from each church. This Is a splen
did opportunity to hear a splendid
message from a gifted woman.
Cottage prayer meetings were
held In many parts of the city this
morning at 8:30. Next week Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day thirty morning prayer meetings
will be held each day. Look for the
white flag!
The powerful sermon delivered
last, night was nevertheless very dif
ferent from the preceding one. Again
the evangelist raked the rubbish of
hypocrisy with the shot and shell of
gospel truth, but he went deeper last
night, he dealt with the hypocrisy
that l« not so transparent but lies
closer to the heart and Intention. It
was closer and more searching but
had more of the positive appeal to
duty. It was the kind of an address
that persuades to right action. Said
one, "That le the real thing in re
llglon." The base sinner might yelp,
the fake Christian might squirm and
the Indifferent man get hot, but
everybody that heard had to take
soma exercise, even If he did nothing
but try to dodge the blow and let it
fall on the next fellow. It was more
than a man could do to keep his
heart square with hie wicked past
and dodge the slashes of truth that
came right at him from the word of
Qod. One realized the truth of the
evangelist's statement Wednesday
night, "We have come here to trans
act business for God."
Here are some of the things that
deeply impressed the hearers:
Home Salient Remarks.
A bad man Is always bad, but he
Is worse when he pretends to be a
saint. He always meets you with a
smile but he's got an axe behind to
Boak you.
I don't wonder that the world gets
disgusted with the church.
A man who uses hypocrites as a
reason for not becoming a Christian,
is a dyed In the wool idiotic, sense
less fool and It is a pretty sure indi
cation that he le a fraud himself.
Some of you seem to think tliat
church work consists In baking a
cake or In getting up an tee cream
eoclal when your turn in the alpha
bet comes around, but If tbe church
spent one-tenth of the time and en
ergy for Jeeus that they do for the
things of this kind they would bring
souls to Jeeus Christ literally by the
thousands.
The trouble U we're not concerned
about the things that concerned Jes
us Christ, although we profess to
have His Spirit and call ourselves
Christians. We're willing that souls
should be lost and the cause of
Christ go down in defeat if only we
can live in comfort and convenience
and compromise with the world.
"The .Meanest Man in the World."
Dr. Biederwolf spoke last night on
the theme "The Meanest Man in the
World."
"The meanest man in the world,"
he said, "Is the man who won't do
what he knows he ought to do, and
the co»ardllest man is the man who
Is afraid to do It."
The sermon was not addressed en
tirely to any one class of people, but
In Rlederwolf'e hands was made to
touch every class of people in Perth
Amboy. Biederwolf is at all events
a fearless speaker, and doe· not hesi
tate to hit out wherever he sees the
need of it, whether the person who
gets the blow be a church member
or a scoffer. The evangelist is evi
dently a good reader of human na
ture, for he has an uncanny way of
touching the spot where the touch
tells. He seems to be able to probe *
deep or merely to scrape the epi
dermis, but In either case it seemed
to be done with a good purpose, and
not Just for the pleasure of the
thing.
"If the people of Perth Amboy
average up with the rest of the
world," he said, "some of you would
make a good bargain If you would
swap some of your brains for a little
backbone. This world always has
and always will take off its hat to a
brave man," and here he told the
story of General the close of
'hf; rVi-ft M';., iîe wai so.aelesa and
penniless And waT»pPrr^a''hcl 'Jjg ,
promoters of ihe iWleHtrtf TJrK'-vtg&S J

for the use of his name as president*
I.ee said, "Gentlemen, my name is 1
ail 1 have left and that Is not for
sale. Good morning."
"The Bravest Men."
"The bravest man God ever made,"
he cried, "Is the man who will do
right at any cost when he knows
what Is the right thing to do. I'd
rather have Just a thimbleful of
brains, if they were of the right
quality, and have a moral nerve of
the proper size as its base, than I
would to have the brains of a Solo
mon, a Solon or a Socrates all com
bined. and be a wishy-washy, weak

uDj ώ» ·
"I don t believe there has even
been a man among the heathen or
civilized who has been without a
glimpse οΓ the truth, and in whose
inner nature there have not been
strivings or compunctions of charac
ter which were calculated to lead
him cn ioward the thought which
was in the mind of God concerning
him, and just so far as he has neg
lected or trifled with them, has come
under the condemnation of this text.
"The very consciousness of ne
glected duty will be your greatest
condemnation and you, my brother,
who are neglecting to accept Christ,
the very knowledge that Christ died
to save you, If it does not lead you
to yield yourself to Him, will rise
up in hell to make your Judgment
more Intolerable when the day of HI·
wrath has come."
