service q days work On surface and ele-

He told how the bills had been intro
duced early in the session but never re-
ported, and declared that the Senators
were not here to legislate in that manner.
He further argued that it was the province
of the Senate and not of the COMMITTEES
to legislate upon the measure. FORTY

AND READING.
Three Days Not Enough to Reach
Trenton From Philadelphia.
Special to the JERSEY Ctty Neaus.

TRENTON, March s, 1S92.-'That settles
it. The bottom has fallen out OF the in
v~estigation into the coal combine" said
an old timer in the Senate Chamber yes
terday afternoon. And the general i'm
preston is hat the old timer was right.
1t was announced last week when the
Assembly adjourned that the hearing
would be resumed yesterday at noon;
that %subpGnas would be issued to the
directors aud officials of the New Jersey
Central ana the Port Reading roads. ac-
companied by O gentle hint that if the
officers did not obey the subpoenas, the
Attorney General would proceed against
them.
1t was generally believed that this
would have the effect of bringing the
officials to Trenton on special trains II
they could not get down any other way at
the appointed time. But when the hour
of high noon arrived there was not a
single soul in the Assembly Chamber.
Mr.. Reekman came in later and an
nounced that there would be nc meeting
of the committee that afternoon for the
simple reason that no witnesses had been
subp9ned and, therefore. no witnesses
would be present. He further conde-
scended to explain that the reason that
no witnesses had been subpened was
that he had not signed the subpPnas and
the reason that he had not signed the
SUBJ enas was because he did not think
that there was time enough between Fri
day and Monday for the railroad men to
bring the papers needed before the COM
mittee, as they (the papers) were now in
Pennsylvania.
Having delivered himself of this lucid
explanation Mr.. Beekman declared that
he was sick and was going home. When
asked when the hearing would go on
again, he said that he would not tell. AS
far as he was concerned he did not think
it ought to go at all. The whole ques-
ton was a legal one and should be re-
Then Mr.. Beekman pulled his hat down
over his eyes and run to catch his train.
MIR. Beekman is popularity supposed to
be a friend OF the Lehigh Valley, and this
and his conduct yesterday led to the old
LIuIer : LULuark. ..
