Several animated conferences have been held by the majority, but It is evident that agreement upon the measures is not •o easy to reach aa had been fancied. It U said that the bills, although providing for trial by Jury and smoothing the rough edgea of the search and eelrure clauses, are still a bit too drastic to meet the approval of the more I conservative mm In the majority, and It is not aa yet possible to count tbe i votes required to put the bUla over, and the leaders are not prepared to rtrock , the line." , Practically the same situation la pre- ; sented In the effort to put through tbe ' and tunnel board ripper, which ' caused such a furore. This bill has also | made the subject of warm party I conferences, because of the political i aspects it has taken since It came to i notice by tbe subterranean route. < Speaker Rowland and Senator Wall- 1 worth of Oamden county are said to I Insisted that If the bill Is made a party measure It must provide for board of eight members so that South i and the Delaware bridge shail ] have equal representation with North < and the Hudson River tunnel. ] This plan. It was said. Is likely to , accepted by those responsible for i original bill, and that It Is to be j put through In that form. Majority t Lender Evans, who Introduced the orlg- , innl bill, said there Is no real Jam upon the bill, although It has been generally , rumored that opposition within the , party might block the bill.

Senator White, as chairman of the ) Judiciary Committee, made a favorable report on Senator Case's bill ta prevent gouging on the part of land- ) lords. A large delegation of womaR came to the 8tate House to expresB their approval of the bill, and when tbe measure came out they broke into prolonged applause. The bouse,, by unanimous vot% i passed Senator Case's bill, providing for tbe extension of the powers of the port authority commission for the dds velopment of the port of New Yort Ik agreement with a similar board ta that state. The measure carries an appropriation of *100,000 for the work. Democratic Leader Gaede, in supporting the biff, highly commended the members of the commission for the e Intelligent effort put forth to arcomI push the great project The bill new i goes to the governor, who Is strongly t In fhvor of the enterprise. I Resume Morris Canal Battla - 1 The interminable question of ahan- , donment of the Morris Canal, with alt Its intricate and disputed rs ml 11 cations, may come to some definite row- - elusion at this session of the legtsla- ' turv. 1 What that concludon la to be, howI ever, waa not made clear at the pub- . 11c hearing upon two pending Mils • tbe Senate and House 0><aml*I tee on Railroads and Canals In the As- •. sembly chamber. I Former Speaker Carlton Godfrey, eg : Atlantic City, who has devoted years of study ana Investigation of the sub* Ject and headed a legislative cnmmlbi tee which submitted a wort and bin, which came to naught. In Ml 5, «ai pressed the conviction that the pending measures are the worst, so rat as the interests of the people of dm state are concerned, that have appeaN ed In all the years the abandonment proposal has been before the legist*. Costs *160,000 Y airly As a matter of fact, the canal, run* nlng from the Delaware River, at Phllllpsburg, to the Hudson, at Jeraeg passing through Warren, Morris, and Hudson counties, with many valuable water and land righto, not been used for canal purpoeea 30 years, but the company continues to maintain It at an expenss of approximately *150,000 a year. Mr. Godfrey argued that the purpose of thus maintaining a property at a yearly loss, without a dollar of revenue, Is to hold the valuable franchise and Its accompanying rights for the purpose of making the most advantol limning I lit- unni uuvhiii-

mlssloners out of the hands of the governor nntll 1925, and creates a body In Republican control. t Veto for Rowland Bill Governor Edwards sent to the house a veto of Speaker Rowland's bill abolishing the Camden County District Court, over which Judge Rudolph S. Ay ere, Democrat, presides. In the veto message the governor says: "My veto of this measure Is based upon objection made by the Camden | County Bar Association to the effect that litigants would he unduly inconvenienced and delayed through ihe submission of the lawsuits to the District Court in the City of Camden. "Furthermore, no provision seems to he made for pending cases. If the court Is abolished without some such provision the fees which litigants have paid will be entirely wasted." It Is said to be on the program to » is naiu iw ur uu i ne program to

J pass the bill over the veto, and, pend5 lng this move, no further action upon L the suspended Judiciary appointments [ for Camden county la likely e The National Guard scrap broke out 5 In a new spot through a letter sent to [ the members of tbe senate by Colonel r j W. E. Guthrie of Patereon, elected ? j colonel of the One Hundred and Kour3 teenth Infantry under the Borden j regime and one of the moves which [ brought the Powell reorganization bill ? forth. The Guthrie letter charged 5 that those who will be most benefited ) by the Powell bill, now awaltiug ac- ^ tlon in the senate on the governor's r veto, would be Colonel T. D. Lendun i Colonel W. S. Price, Colonel L. D. 5 Coyle aqd Colonel E. B. Stone, who had been "canned" for Inefficiency In the world war, the same men who had > caused the upheaval In the guard over ) General Borden's elevation. , Haath Chides Senate "Thinkers" Senator Heath took the members of the senate to task for permitting state I boards to do their thinking for them. : The Mercer senator said that the members were directly charged with j tbe responsibility of understanding 1 bills passed, bat he charged tbe seni ate In most Instances took the word of some Interested board or depart- ' ment. The discussion arose over the i consideration of tbe Heath bill reducing the hours for the first and second school grades from four to three. Senator.Heath charged that there was ■ something wrong with the school sys- - tem4if the state. He said that the educational depart- i ment was overzealous and he called < upon the members of the senate to I study this and other bills, so they I would not have to depend on the say- i so of some department. HI* plea for 1 the bill was on tbe ground that the i little children should have more time t play. Senator White and several others opposed the bill and It was I lost. 1 Tbe senate passed the Evans bill v providing *25,000 to fight the battle of l the people in the United States courts I against the Public Service Corpora- c tlon. 8enator White, majority lead- a explained bow the Public Service n taken fcn appeal from the action c of the State Utility Board in setting c aside Its 10-cent rate. Tbe Utility t Board was made a defendant In tbe J li appeal to tbe Federal Court sad the ti

ageous deal for ultimate abandonment. e "!.et it alone," exclaimed the former V speaker Impressively, "and when the I-ehlgh Valley Railroad Company finds that Uie people of tlie state propose to r fight for their rights In this valuable I- property It will quickly come to terms t upon a basla satisfactory to tbe peoL pie." p The former speaker held that the state's Interests in the canal property, 1 including the two basins In Jersey City, i Is worth millions of dollars, but that t the company hill* never yet. In all Ito • proposals for ohamlonincnt, presented » an offer at all commensurate with that interest. Equitable, 8ays Parry > Senator Parry, urging the passage M> ' his bill, said it was the fairest and most i equitable economic proposal yet pre- ' sented on this Important question, and that the scheme to name a commisi si on, with liberal salaries and largo J- expense, would not work out to tfio

n satisfaction of the people. The con»- :* mission might fix a price which th.i state would be willing to accept; but it the Lehigh Valley might reject it and 0 then costly negotiations would follow. 'I The hearing gave Indications lli.it 'I the frshlgh Valley interests were strongly arrayed In favor of the Roegn ner hill, but some of the Influential h members are unalterably opposed ;o II Its passage. The Indleutlons are. thered tore, that tbe abandonment seheme wi<1 '1 again go over, probably to 1921, when - the state, under (lie terras of the clitir- " ter, has power to take over Ihe prop1 erty at an appraised valuation. '. In .fifty years It would be In entire i possession without any legislation i whatever. The proposal has .been 'o I use the canal bed for a traffic highr "ay or other pnhllc purpose, bnt (he basins on the Jersey City waterfront are counted as worth many millions r In the scheme of developing the port. Battle Over Corbln City The Bethlehem Steel Corporation waa i the principal objector to the passage i of Senator White's bill for tbe IncoT- : r>°retlon of Oorbln Ctiy borough out of a part of Weymouth township, Atlantic ! county, at the public hearing given by the committee on boroughs and town- ■ ships. The new borough would take in one-quarter of the population of Weymouth township, or about 238 people. It would have total ratahles of *10(1.416. Ralph Harcourt appeared In faof the measure. John Stewart appeared as the representative of the Bethlehem corporation, which owns about 8,000 acres of hind the proposed borough limits, where war-time proving ground, known as Belcovllle. was established. Mr. Harcourt held that there are not enough ' rotables to jnstify tbe formation of the borough. Big bakery concerns were strongly arrayed against Assemblywoman bill, intended to fix a standard weight for loavea of bread, at a hearbefore the House Committee on Health. Mrs. Laird and a number of other women Interested In welfare work urged favorable report upon the measure in the Interest of the purchasing public. Counsel for the AmeriBakers' Association claimed that bakers themselves can bast rcgn- [ weights of loaves and that custom has fixed the stondaifi.
