ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS.
Bill Providing Assemblymen BE
Elected by Counties at Large.

Elected by Counties at Large.
Special to the Jersey City Neaos.
TRENTON, April 90, 1S94.-The Republi-
cans threw out an anchor to windward in
the matter Of Assembly districts, in order
to circumvent any scheme which the Demo
Gratis may lave of appealing the decision of
the Supreme Court declaring Assembly dis
tricts unconstitutional. Mr.. voorhees, in
troduced several bills in the Senate last
night. They repeal all laws relating to the
Assembly districts and provide that Assem-
blymen shall hereafter by elected by counties
at large. Mr.. Voorhees, introduced a bill
which amends punishment Of crimes act by
making the advertising of lotteries punish
able by a fine of S100, or imprisonment Tor
one year, or both.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Repub-
licans are determined to take q recess on
MAY 5, the bills come merrily in. Among
those in the House yesterday was one by Mr.,
Berry which appropriates $4,000 for the
care and maintenance of the State Camp
ground at Sea Grit.
Mr.. Stokes introduced two important blllS
in the Senate just before adjournment:-
No. 179-Mr. Stokes. Repeats act copcerning
sale of liquors., &C., approved February 8, 1882.

mated by the Governor with the advice and con-
sent Of the Senate.

ing trampled on by the bill. He expressed
much surprise that Senator Bradley was to
be found among its supporters. b brought
Mr.. Bradley to his feet. He said that by
the peculiar parliamentary tactics Of Mr..
DAILY and his confreres the people Of Essex
and Hudson had been unable to
vote for new Freeholders at The
last election, but their votes in
Jersey City and Newark on that occasion
plainly showed their desire for true reform
in every particular. They had triumphed,
and he felt that they had said to the Legisla-
ture:-"Go on your way rejoicing. God
bless and speed you"
Senator Ketcham handled Mr.. DAILY with
out gloves, and exposed what he called the
Hypocrisy of the gentleman from Hudson.
He read extracts from the presentment of
the Essex Grand Jury against the Freehold
ers of that county. The Freeholders were
charged with malfeasance in office and IL
legal methods. He closed by ridiculing Mr..
Days solicitude for the dear people and by
saying:-"Go home, my friend, and be peni-
tent"
"Don't you see I'm penitent nowf' retorted
Mr.. DAILY, and then he proceeded to arraign
the Essex Grand Jury for not indicting the
Freeholders. and characterized the jurors as
unfit for SO honorable a position, if they were
Freeholders whose characters they had thus
libelled. He said the jurors were
men who would go to any
extent to blacken mems characters
for mere partisan purposes. Even though
the Democrats had committed the error of
creating partisan Freeholders in the two
first class counties the Republicans were not
warranted in following their bad example
and he predicted that the passage OF the
measure would prove injurious to that party
so he would call upon them to halt in their
'sheadlong partisanship." MIR. Ketcham
said it was always good policy to go con-
trary to the advice of an enemy. He de-
Tended the Essex Grand Jury and said it
had brought matters to such a head that the
present Grand Jury would probably take al
action which would suit all cities.
Senator Hinchliffe supported Mr.. Days
motion, but it was lost by a strict party
vote. Then Mr.. Daily offered an amendment
requiring the concurrence of the Boards OF
holders made by the Mayors, but it was also
lost and the bill went to the third read
ing. At the evening session the bill
which creates new boards in Passaic, Mercer
and Camden was passed. President Rogers
left the chair and argued for the bill, get
ting in the usual claptrap about its being in
the interest of the people. Senator Hinch-
life said that in his county, Passaic, it
would have the effect of an auction-the
man paying the highest price getting the Of
flee.
According to Mr.. Skirm the new law
would save his county (Mercer) thousands of
dollars. Mr.. Daily called it rank partisan
ship and spoke of the time when there was a
Republican ring in Jersey City. There were
bad republicans, he said, as well as demo-
Gratis, and republicans could be as rotten as
democrats, and much more rotten. The bill,
by a caucus measure, passed.

AFTER GREEN GOODS MEN.
Chief Murphy Determined to Break
Up Ii Business.
cncctnI 10 ne Js9seYl NclCc.

ErcesGg TO tbs JS9st2 S.-J NClOC.
TRENTON, April 80, 1s94.-Chief Murphy
Of the Jersey City police was here yesterday
afternoon. To secure some legislation
which will break up the green goods bust
ness in his bailiwick. The chief says that
the green goods men have made Jersey City
their nominal headquarters for some time
and lave beenable to do a lucrative business
through the connivance of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. The scheme
has been for the green goods men to send out
their circulars 20 their victims telling them
not to communicate with the senders
through the mails as their letters are liable
to be seized by the postoffice authorities but
to telegraph and always use the Western
Union. Three addresses were given:-No.
$40 Hudson street. No. 81 York street, and
Claremont. The kilograms, the Chief says,
are never delivered to the addresses given,
but are sent 10 another place which the tete-
graph company refuses to divulge.
Detectives nave been sent to the company
| to tell them that there no such number as
No. 240 Hudson street, and hat dispatches
| for the three addresses given above were for
| green goods men, and to ask where the de
| spatches were sent. All the reply that the
officers could get was that the dispatches
were delivered, and that the rules OF the
L cOlnDaHY lQfDdu6 Uat 1fulEOuCO VI UnO
names Of those to whom or the place at
| which kilograms are delivered.
The Chief wanted to have a bill intro
| duced which would enable him to reach the
company. Upon talking with several Of the
| members he became convinced that the bill
which Mr.. Dewsnap had passed would meet
the case. This measure provides
That any telegraph company. telephone CO m
pany, express company, or any corporation or
Individuals engaged in the business or com noa
carriers. shall by this act be prohibited from
Knowingly carrying any message or messages
that shall further or promote the interest OF
unlawful pursuits or In any way enable any per-
son or persons to carry on any business or
practice declared Illegal by tho statutes OF New
JERSEY.
That any corporation, person or persons carry
| ing such messages shall be deemed guilty OF q
nisd and upon conviction thereof
shall be punished by a fine OF one THOUSAND
dollars.
The word sknowinglyo was not in the
bill, when it was originally introduced, but
was afterward inserted at the instance OF
| the corporations, which it effects. In the
| estimation of many, 1t vitiates the whole
force of the bill, as it viii be a difficulty
matter to show that the companies know
what tho dispatches mean, which they send.
A large number of messages which they
are to tell whether a despatch SO written
| refers to race tracks, lotteries or N other
| unlawful matter.
This objection the Chief says is of no avail
in the green goods cases, as he has plainly
informed the Western Union that dispatches
to the numbers mentioned above are for
green goods men. The Chief proposes to take
| the matter before the Grand Jury at once,
under Mr.. Dewsnap's law.

BOARD OF WORKS REPEATER.

Vote.

Special to the Jersey City Neaos.
TRENTON, April 20, 1s94.-Senators Ket-
cham and Daily locked horns again last night
in the struggle for a better form of govern
ment in the enactment Of Senate Bill No.
ISL, popularity known as the Board OF
Works Bin.n Just prior to the calling up OF
this measure to a third reading and final
passage, Senator Skirm had had a wordy
tussle with the Hudson Senator in respect to
the Freeholders bill for second-class cou n
ties, in which the former came out a victor,
though slightly disfgured in the oratorical
struggle. Consequently when the Essex
Senator arose to speak on his measure 1T was
to be expected that Mr.. Daily would not fail
to be very much in evidence. He has con
stituted himself a Senatorial committee OF
one to look after the interests of the lnhab1t-
ants of frst-class. cities and counties, and
during the discussion of the F~reeholders Act,
relating to such localities, had made a bitter
fight to carry his motion to kill 1T by strlk-
ing out the ~enacting clause. The tilt with
Colonel Shirm, however, and the length OF
the session had told on him, and he made a
feeble struggle to refute the arguments OF
Mr.. Ketcham.
The latter went into a detailed history OF
the manner in which the Board of Works
Act was passed during the session OF 1891,
graphically picturing the surreptitioqs man
ner in which it had been rushed through,
and reminding the representative from tiud-
son of the prominent part he had taken in
that scheme. Daily subsidized, and then SEN
ator Hinchliffe jumped to his feet to ask the
champion Of the bill a question or two.
He first asserted that at one time Newark
was one Of the dirticst spots in New Jersey
until the present Board of Works had been
created Then that city had taken on a new
aspect and now, ia MS opinion, wa cieahi-
ness personified. Had not this board worked
a change of affairs of which amy good cii-
zen should be proud, and now should these
faithful stewards be iiicoatiuently legi5.aeed

INSURANCE COMPANIES AHEAD.
A BILL Affecting Them Smothered III
Committee.
SpeciaJ to the Jerscu Cjtu Netcs.

Special to the Jersey City Netcs.
TRENTON, April 90, 1s94.-The industrial
insurance companies, aided by the powerful
lobby which the corporations keep here,
made a determined and successful raid upon
the poor laboring people, who insure in those
companies. Early in the session Mr.. Eisele
introduced a bill which provides for the cash
surrender or paid up value of policies OF in
surance issued by such companies. The Com
mittee on Banks and Insurance, of which DR..
Edwards, who is employed by the Prudential
of Newark, is chairman, has had the bill
ever since.
Mr.. Eisele moved yesterday that the
committee be relieved from further con-
sideration of the bill.
DR.. Edwards opposed the motion,
saying that there were people
interested in the bill who wanted to be heard
on it. That was an old story Mr.. Eisele said
which was always used by committees that
were holding a bill back. He then spoke
of the pressure which was being brought to
bear upon the members to vote against the
bill. He had been threatened, and told that
if he insisted upon passing the bill he would
not be allowed to come back next year. He
said he worked for an insurance company,
and he had been told that his place would be
taken from him if he persisted IN urgipg the
passage Of the bill. He then showed how it
worked III luJuSUlc6 W uH6 WOIh luSdlSA ALL
other p sople of scanty means who insured in
the companies.
MIR. Flynn said the bill was given to the
Committee on January Is, and he thought
that it had had time enough to hear every
one who wanted to be heard.
There was a passage Of arms between Mr..
Storrs and Mr.. Flynn, and Judge Cross
said he had known men to beat their wives
and to vote against temperance legislation,
but he never saw a man go back on his com
| mittee before. Mr.. Eisele had told Franklin
Murphy, who represented the United States
Life Insurance Company, and wanted to be
heard on the bill, that he might as well go
home, as three of the committee had agreed
to report the bill. He thought those who
had been promised a hearing should be
| heard. Mr.. Woolsey said that if the bill he
| came a law it would compel the United
States life to go out of business.
This Mr.. Eisele denied, n in replying to
Judge Cross remarks, said he was not
ashamed of his vote on the temperance edu-
c~ational bill. The only time he was ashamed
Of his vote was when he voted to put some
poor fellow out of office at the command Of
his party. A vote was taken on Mr.. Eisele's
motion, and it was declared lost by a vote of
10 to 26. There was much lodging of votes
on the bill, and Mr.. Flynn raised a point of
order that as the House was under a call all
those who had answered the roll call should
be made to vote. The Speaker ruled this
point well taken, but as the vote had been
announced on the question it could not be
changed.
