ruled the Legislature yesterday after
noon. At the Senate caucus it was deeid-
ed, as told in 1.-The Jersey City News
yesterday, to modify the adjournment
resolution so as to let in the partisan
and miscellaneous measures for the
benefit of Newark. New Brunswick ana
Passaic 1t was also decided to let IN
Mr.. Winton's Palisades Commission Dill,
the election law amendments, the At
lantic City charter repeater and a few
lesser measures. In the House caucus
practically the same agreement was ar
rived at.
The wheels having been well creased,
the Legislative mill at both ends of the
corridor started to grind. AS quick as the
Senate disposed of a few measures mes
senger rushed with them over to the
+sIiouse So well was the time calculated
that both Houses adjourned almost sim
ultaneously and a minute after the Sen
ate finished the last business roll call
was sounded in the House. There was no
time for debate in the House and the
Senate was the battle ground for those
who disapproved of the scheme to in
trduce bills not in line with the Select
Committees report.
Both Senators Daily and Kuhl fought
valiantly against the partisan bills
The concurrent resolution instructing
the Comptroller and Attorney General
to begin proceedings for the collection
Of moneys Illegally held by State officials
came first. Senator DAILY said it was not
worth the paper it was written on as
there was plenty of law for the collection
of the money.
Senator KuhI insisted upon ex-officials
being included in the resolution and SEN
ator Voorhees, assured him the thing
would be done. The resolution was then
adopted.
MR.. KUHL'S PROTEST.
Next came the resolution modifying
the adjournment resolution. Senator Kuhl
objected to it.

Senator Voorhees, said that ne had

would be in Jeopardy.
