SETTLING THE QUESTION.
A Proposed Law Giving the Governor
Proper Powers in Case of Riot.
Special 10 the Jersey CITY Nelcs.

TRENTON, Feb. 10, 1sg1.-The contro-
versy which has arisen in Jersey CITY
over the action of Governor Abbett In
calling upon the police Of that city in
stead Of upon the militia to quell the dis
turbances at Kearny led TO the intro
ductIon of bill by Mr.. Mullone yester-
day which seeks to place the different
police forces of the State at the Gov
ernor's command.
The measure provides that upon the
application of the Circuit Court or Law
Judge OF any county, or the Prosecutor
or on his motion, the Governor may ap-
point any persons to act as State police
men. They shall eacn file a bond of
5000 with the Secretary OF State. The
policemen so appointed shall, in the
counties named in their commission,
have all the powers of ordinary police
men or constables. They shall wear q
detective duty, to be designated by the
Governor, and shall hold Office at his
pleasure.
Whenever the Governor. in his dis
cretion, shall determine that the preser
vation of the peace in any county shall
require, he shall apply to the Police Com
missioners or Chief of Police of any city
to designate any number of the police
force TO act as State policemen, and If
the authorities so applied to refuse TO
conform to the request the Gov
ernor may designate the men he needs.
State policemen so appointed shall be sub
ject TO the orders of the Governor at any
time or place he may name, and under the
command of any man directed by the
Governor. Any officer falling to perform
the duty assigned TO him shall cease to be
a policeman in the city or municipality in
which he IS acting, and shall be ineligible
thereafter to hold the Office of policeman
or constable. On the Governors certifi-
cate the men shall be paid out of the State
Treasury, and the money must be repaid
by the county wherein the men are en-
ployed, If the Governor deem it right and
proper.
In speaking OF this bill Mr.. Mullone
said that the Governor now mad no power
or authority over any member of the
police forces of the State. In his opinion
trained policemen are far better qualified
to quell disturbances than the militia and
the object of this bill was to do away with
the necessity of quellng riots or disturb
ances with powder and shot.

Police Commissioner C H. Benson fled
his resignation at the Mayors Office yes
terday as a member Of the Board Of Po-
lice Commissioners TO take effect
March l. The reason he assigned
for this action was that he had been two
years a member of the Board Of Educa-
ton, and two years member of
the Police Board. He thought he had
rendered his share of service TO the pub
lie ana he desired to be permitted TO re-
tire to private life.
Commissioner Benson's term of office
expired April %, he having been ap-
pointed TO the two year. II is said
by some that he resigned because
he had been assured that he would not be
reappointed. Other uncharitable men
say he sacrificed two months salary by
resigning SO that he might again resume
his scriprural studies.
The exact reason is known only to Mr..
Benson and Mr. Cleveland The names
OF Justices Wanser and Stilsing have
been suggested as his successor.
