I ■ , PULLING TEETH IN SENATE BILL j (Continued from first page.) c nderation of the first amendment, deapite objections from Mr. Stevens. Mr. Stevens, however, offered a bargain. ' He was stilling to modify his amend■lent if the Senate would support a • further one. The Ackley motion was voted down and Mr. Stevens presented i ah amendment limiting employment of >' deputies by the Labor Commissioner i under the Civil Service regulations, : which was adppted. 11 Hie chaos was finally swept aside. ( The Stevens amendment as adopted c did not vitiate the bill, but cut out the r three proposed sinecures. The bill was | acceptable to Senator Colgate, who | withdrew all his own amendments. t Senator Hennessy's grand stand at- t tempt ttys afternoon todiscredit the [ "Home Rule" bill introduced by Sena- 1 tor Thomas F. McOran, of Passaic, re- « suited in a complete rout in a war of > words that occurred between himself * and Mr. McCran. ' Senator Hennessy, having in mind t certain political ambitions of his own ■ arose to address the gallery on the bill, > Senate 166. He tried to create the opinion that the McCran bill was a subter- f lege, but failed utterly. His suggee- . ' tions were entirely discredited when I < Senator MoCran called to t£e attention ' of the Senate that when Senator Hen- « memj had his ideas enacted 'into a < law, the law wae declared unconstitu- c tional after two months' of operation. ■ lie McCran bill is a thorough one ( and wiB result in legislation that can- f not fail to be beneficial to the entire « State of New Jersey. It provides for a 1 commission to codify about 3000 pages t of municipal laws that have been enacted in the State with the object of t producing a hill that will give the " greatest .possible scope of home rule within the limitations of the State con ■titntion. This bill is to be presented at the next session of the Legislature, I * and through it a Republican pledge for j home rule will be redeemed. Governor Fielder's little game of j politic through which he sought to rob j ( the next Governor of New Jersey of C the right to appoint a prosecutor for Gloucester County was aired in the ° Henate this week. It was the Gorer- r' norV idea to appoint Grover C. Rich- > man at this time for a full term and in \ " the interests of fair play Senator j " Gaunt has been working to prevent the • Governor from getting away the well I ' concocted plan. The Governor, according to Senate | ' Leader Charles Rathbun, has far ex- j ' needed his perrogative in trying to force j ' the Senate to confirm or reject the ap- I ' pointment of Mr. Richman. Senator | 1 Rathbun denounced the act of Governor j ac offensively partisan before the Sen- j' ate Monday night. In the House, the Edge bill providing ' for a State purchasing department'" was carried. The idea includes a com- 1 8 mission consisting of the Governor, ' Treasurer and State Comptroller to 1 supervise the purchasing system, and F who shall name a State Purchasing Agent at a salary of $5,000. The latter will be the active head of the department, which will buy the supplies for all State departments and institutions 1 The bill was recommended in the annual report of the Economy and Effi- 1 cicncy Commission, has alreadv passed the Senate and now goes to Governor Fielder for his approval., The House Judiciary Committee yes- ' today favorably reported the grade crossing bill -introduced by Senator Pierce, of Union County. The measure - had a hearing on Monday at which raHroad lawyers attacked it strongly. The bill now goes on the calendar for third reading and final passage or de- 1 feat next Monday evening. It requires | the elimination of one crossing a year ' for every 40 miles of track. Senator Gaunt, gives road cominis- *>£ YOU HAD A JSf* NECK A8 LONG AS THIS FELLOW, I 'I AND MAD ) J!

I j _ ij FOR TAX EXEMPTION J * (Special to Star and Wave.) ' Trenton. N. .. March 1. — Business ^ from many parts of New Jersey j attended a public hearing on the Hennessy- Hammond tax bills before ' fhe ( Committee of the LegislAture t at Trenton this afternoon. These bills ^ propose to encourage manufacturing ( and agriculture by exempting improve- j ments and certain classes of personal ( property from taxation. , j George L. Record, of Jersey City, a j candidate for the Republican nomina- , tion for Governor, said that the proposed change would reduce the cost of ( living, encourage business, and make employment for idle capital and idle men. He advocated a home rule provision giving the majority in each mu- , nicipalitv the power «4o exempt from taxation buildings, farm improvements, j machinery, household furniture and | , merchandise. j j William H.. Ingersoll, of Maple wood, j sales manager for Robert H. Ingersoll f and Bro., watch makers, summarized | 1 the benefits New Jersey will gain from ( reducing taxes on improvements. He ( cited the action of Pennsylvania in re- ( ducing taxes on buildings in second , class cities, and showed that like steps , being taken in Rhode Island, Texas, , California and Western Canada; the great influx of Americans to Canada t amounting to 200,000 annually being t due to prosperity resulting from , tax reductions . ~ ( SENATOR STEVENS STATES SOMEi f FACTS. "3 i | Senator Lewis T. Stevens, with re- 1 jgards to the Gape May Prosecutorship, ' j has made this statement: | "When Governor Fielder nominated ' I James Russell Oarrow, of Camden ' | County, it was the fifth time that an ' •'outsider had been named for the poi-i- f I tion, and the confirmation of out-of- ' | county men, when there are numerous |eounsellors-at-law resident in (Jape May j County, who are eminently qualified | and some, because of their experience jut the bar, more so than young Mr. jCarrow. More than $15,000 has al- I ready been paid in salaries to nou- I .resident lawyers acting. as prosecutors (. ; in Cape May County, and I have beau « importuned by taxpayers and citizens 1 I to see that the few offices we have are r tilled by our own people. For surriy ) Cape May County gets no state officers, r In considering with Governor Fielder J the appointment of a prosecutor for i Cape May County. I informed him that c j I would not vot£ to confirm any out- s Jsider, and gave him a list of nine coun- » eellors-at-law-, who live, vote, practice ' law and have their offices wholly in * the county, and asked liim te take his t pick. They were: " e Charles A. Bonnell, Cape May Court ' Hon. Eugene C. Oole, Seaville. t Hon. Harry S. Douglass, Cape May g Court House. t Joseph Douglass, Cape May Court a Jonathan Hand, Wildwood. t Morgan Hand, Cape May Court House v

Hoc. James M. E. Hildretb, Gape May . -. ' ' ; J. SpicVliaming, CS*r Wji City. . , >»ln^-'a' Way, Wttdwiod. The Governor declined to accept any ' of them- There are other attorneys -at - who are at well qualified, but they 1 not passed the counsellor's examand are, therefore, ineligible. There arc also other lawyers who vote and practice in Cape May County, but whose principal offices are in PhiladelCamden. Vr. farrow main j tains an office in Camden, and has only , moved into the county since, his ad j interim appointment. I I cannot be charged witn partisanI ship because 1 urged the early reapI pointment ofAludge Henry H. Eldredge, . a most sanguine Democrat, and soJ 'cured his immediate confirmation. I would not stand for a bad. Republican in preference to a good Democrat, 'judge Eldredge's time was legally out, ;und this appointment belonged to, the J Democrats. Had it uot been for a resignation, the time of the prosecutor would not have been out, and. that appointment would belong to the party the incoming governor. In order to be fair, I suggested to Governor Welder that he pass over the nominating of a prosecutor, in which case Mr. Carrow could serve until next year and finish such pork as ha« commenced. But the .-governor concluded to force the issue for a five year term. When it cornea to such . length of time I am .for a Cape May County lawyer. If Mr. Carrow is so well versed in the law, he will be able to make his own way in Camden, and can leave the Cape May field to the Gape May lawyers. I have not forgotten the announcement made in July last, when Mr. Carrow was appointed, that there were no in Cape May County qualified perform the duties of prosecutor, j Governor . Fielder could not find, in his estimation, any of the Democratic faith, he in my mind, showed a partisan spirit when he passed over the dozen or more Cape May lawyers and chose a non-resident, rather than name Republican. I take issue with the statement that they are not qualified, and will stand for Cape May County, first, last and all the time. Three years ago Governor Wilson appointed as prosecutor a man from outside the county, whom the court said should not act. He yet Kid' two years, to serve. Th'e ^ Democrats are trying" to take advantage df their own l' shortcomings jjppthgr i've j years' lease of office. Let us wait until next year, and then a new goverwill be ih office. If he be a democrat that party will have gaiiAofiie ofliee for six years, and if he be a Republican, I am sure that I will support only a Republican who will perform his duty to the letter of the law, and he will bo a resident of Cape May TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MRS N PERRY EDMUNDS The following beautiful tribute to the Mrs. N'. Perry Edmunds, v-*. published in the official "Review" of Dr. Oonwell's Temple Baptist Church. Philadelphia. and beliveing that many of Edmund's friends would like to read it. we have republished it here: "The church was greatly shocked to receive word of the death of Mrs. Mary A. Edmunds, who was so well known our work, -and^ to our people, beof the many kindnesses she has shown and gifts she has made t,> the work of the church, hopitals and university. Unfortunately Dr. (Jon well the funeral, which was held Wednesday evening, at hef* home, *2500 Diamond ' Street. Pastor Harris officiated, and went with Mr. Edmunds the next day Cape May for interment. It was a great comfort to have many friends at memorial service, both at the house and at the church.

The church and congregation extend 'to Mr. Edmunds and the relatives their condolences in this hour of bereavement. ' Mr. Con well writes, Ihatwhen he heard of Mrs. Edmund's death, be -repeated at once the words of St. PXuI, so applicable to her "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, . I have kept the faith.
