JERSEY BREATHs AGAIN.
Ats record the Most Infamous In
tine History OF ihe State
of New Jersey.

~A h~OW Jersey
The New YORK Wo Id, Democratic.
said Sunday, in q despatch dated the
11th
Unless all signs go wrong the 1i7th
Legislature, which adjourned to-day,
Will go down into history as the most
Infamous, Incompetent and corrupt
legislative BODY that ever disgraced
the State.
The race track legislation was relig.
ious, moral and beautiful compared
with some of the other things done by
this malodorous assemblage. In other
years there was crookedness but it was
supposed to be confined mainly to tho
House. This year the Senate was as
bad If not worse than the lower Cham
Der.
1t has been common talk for weeks
that you couldn't get anything done
without having to pay for It,"
The business of Saturday was con-
fined almost wholly to the passage Of
anti-winter race track bill, the scheme
originating with Billy Thompson, the
Duke of Gloucester, and the legislation
was enacted for the purpose of pun
ishing the Gutenberg people because
they refused to pay their share of the
expenses incurred in passing the other
bill which legalized race tracks.
The bill provides that during the
months of December, January and
February there shall be no racing on
any track In this State. This is the
season when Gutenberg does the
greatest business of the year, and
Gloucester Its smallest. It passed des-
pite the opposition of the Hudson
county officials, and under rulings of
Speaker Flynn, that were considered
questionable.
In the House the bill passed by the
following votes:
Yeas-Armitage, Bake. Barrett,
Beekman, Burton, Byrne, Chamber
lain, Clark, Daily, Diver, Dupuy,
Flynn Speaker, Harrigan, Henry,
Honce, Kearns. T. NJ. Kelly, Lane,
Murphy, O'Brien, Olvaney, Packer,
Parker, Peal, salinger, Sheppard,
Smith, Strahan, Studer, Swartoue
Thompson, Tine, Utter. Warne, Wool
sey, Wright. Total36.

Dittmar, Glasspell, Gledhill, Holmes,
Holt, Hutchinson, II. A. Kelly, Kyle,
Lawless, Matlack. Ross, Stafford
Stanger, Stout. Tahen, Cellar. Total
30.
In the Senate the anti-race track
men supported the DILL, Senator Stokes,
of this county, explaining his vote by
saying that the bill proposed to do
away with legalizing gambling three
months in each year, and that was
better than nothing, or gambling all
the year around. The vote in the
Senate was as follows:
Yeas-Adrian (president), Barker,
Barrett, Butcher, Cornish, Drake,
Hinchcliffe, Hoffman, Keys, Martin,
Rogers, Skirm, Smith, Stokes, Ter
hume, Winton. Total-l6.
Nays-Daly, Marsh, McMickle, Mil
Ter, Perkins. Total-5.
In the House some Democratic
friends presented Speaker Flynn with
handsome diamond pin, and Mr..
Lane, who has been calling the speaker
the hardest kind Of names. made O.
neat speech in which he referred to
Speaker Flynn as most honorable
man, and giving him credit for impair
tiality shown during the session.
The Legislature then adjourned sine
die.

tinued.


tinued.

ternoon at one o'clock.
Joseph Kelly was brought In from
Jail where he had been committed on
the charge of indecent exposure of
person. He had no one to defend him,
and wanted to make statement to
the Court, He said he was intoxicated
and didn't know what he did. He
hoped the Court would be lenient with
him.
The Court asked him If he had ever
been before the Court before and he
answered ''No, sir"
The case of Walter johnson, COM
mitted to Jail from Millville. charged
with overdriving horse belonging to
Thomas Cummings, of Millville, was
moved by Prosecutor Logue. His
plea was not guilty.
Cummings was put on the stand and
testified that he had hired horse to
johnson to go to Centre Grove, but
that johnson had driven the horse to
Bridgeton and Fairton, and kept the
horse two days, abused the horse and
broke the buggy.
N. Ogden Burt was assigned to the
defense of the young man, and the de-
fence was general denial of the com.
plant of abuse of the horse.
johnson was put on the stand in his
defense and stated the circumstances
of the case, which in short appeared
to be that be had hired the horse to
go to Fairton.
On the trip he got drunk, broke the
buggy by an accident, but took good
care of the horse.
His testimony was that the horse
was we'll fed and he did neither over
drive nor abuse the horse, and he had
no whip.
This case was Mr.. Burt's first case
before the Court, and he handled 1t
pretty we'll, doing himself credit in the
summing up.
Prosecutor Logue summed up for
the State.
The Conrt adjudged the young man
guilty.
After consultation with his associate
Judge Hoagland called Joseph Kelley
to stand up.
The Judge then said, 'Kelly, you
have pleaded: guilty to the offense
with which you are charged" "Yes
sir" interrupted Kelly. Sand your
excuse is that you were so drunk you
did not know what you were doing p
"Yes sir, I was paralized dunk u
again interjected Kelley" 'Now that
is no excuse here" said the Judge. IA
man must not get drunk and then
offer that as an excnse for the crime
which he has committed" Such ex-
cuse will not be accepted In this Court.
The sentence of this Court is that you
stand committed and confined in the
County Jail for the period of sixty
days from the date of your commit
ment.
Walter johnson was also sentenced
to the County Jail for sixty days from
February 18th, the date of his CON-
mitment.
