TEMPERANCE FACTS.
Evils of License Restriction Pointed
Out 10 a Senate Committee.


TRENTON. March 8. 1Sss.-The Senate
Committee on Miscellaneous Business
gave a hearing this afternoon on Senate
Bill 40 introduced by Senator Rogers.
The bill is a substitute for 11S. Il re-
quires the signatures Of at least twelve
reputable freeholders and residents of the
township or borough, or ward If in a city,

delegation was also present from the
State Liquor Dealers League. Frederick
Nolan, the State Organizer of the League,
was the spokesman for the liquor dealers.
He claimed hat the bill would affect the

receives every year $780, 900 from the Liquor
traffic. This money IS devoted to the
building of public schools and the repair

men who believe in protecting their. rights
and who are opposed to all liquor dealers
who violate the law. The League is OPP
posed to the keepers of speak easies''
and dives, and the proprietors of such
places are refused membership in the
League.
John McEntee of Jersey City spoke
against the BIN, as did also John M. Me-
Cormack, a liquor dealer of Camden.
James Butler, a hotel keeper of Key
port, Monmouth county. said that the
more restriction that is placed upon the
liquor business, the more violation of
law results. He said that in Asbury
Park, where prohibition is opposed to
prevail, he knew of at least a hundred
places last year where beer and wl1iskey
could be purchased.
Mr.. Nolan asked the committee for an
other hearing on the bill to be given next
week. The committee conferred together
a few minutes and then Chairman Ross
announced that the committee had de-
eided that enough hearings had already
been given on the subject. and that this
would close the committees consideration

THE Traction Company yesterday
showed that it had become absolute mas
ter of the new problem. So far as it was
concerned. there was no delay or incon-
venience to the travelling public. even of
a trihing character.
But serious delay was caused by the
eonduct of teamsters in taking possession
of the cleared tracks, and holding them
with their slow moving vehicles while long
lines of cars grew up behind. Among the
NEST serious offenders in this respect were
the wagons of the Central Coal Company
on Grand street. One huge cart of this
concern held up nine cars all the way
from Henderson street to Washington
street about ten o'clock yesterday morn
ing. and similar occurrences succeeded
each other all day.
This is 8 proper matter for police inter-
ference. A similar practice used to pre-
val in New York. 1t was broken up
years ago by a few arrests and fines. If
the regular police here are too busy to
attend to it. the Traction Company should
hire a few special constables for a week or
two. 1t would not take longer to create a
wholesome respect for the rights of the
company and its passengers amongs
mulish and malicious drivers.

directors Of the bank, and a special
grand jury was called by Judge Wallber
to investigate the failure. The result
was the Indictment of the entire board
of directors, with President Day and
William Plankinton at the head.
The trial was postponed from one time
to another. A change of venue was
taken to Judge Johnson and portion
of the cases hang there now. When the
Supreme court in the case of Banker
Koetting decided that Judge Wallber
had right to call in an outside judge
to try the cases, District Attorney Ham
mel, who was then in office, took a fresh
start with Day and Plankinton, filing
new informations against them and in
this way securing an outside judge to try
the cases. Judge Wallber called in
Judge Goodland, and after delays of over
a year on the case, under the new in
formation, Days trial was begun Janu-
airy Is. There were two charges against
him, one of having taken deposit from
the complaining witness May 16, the
day of the first run on the bank knowing
it to be insolvent, and the other of tax
ing money on deposit May 81, the day
before the bank closed for good. The
defense objected at once and asked that
the state elect on which one Day should
be tried. The state chose that charging
the taking of money on May 16. 1t is
the other charge on which they NOW
propose to proceed to trial.
