Wouldn't Apologize for Des-

Special to the jersey cau Neus.

March 4, - David
and Jonathan relations which have al
ways existed between Senator William
D.. DAILY and Senator Foster M. Voorhees,,
which have always been one of the most
beautiful spectacles about the State
House during the past two years. re-
ceived a rude shock yesterday which may
possibly wreck them. 1t all came about
through Mr.. Voorhees, bills, which are
commonly spoken of as trolley bills.
AT the afternoon session President
Thompson called up Senate 115, which
compels all agreements between counsel
and client for services in obtaining dam
ages for injuries shall be filed with he
papers in the case, and giving the court
the authority to reduce the amount
stated in the agreement in its discretion.
He ordered the Secretary to call the roll
and the clerk was half way down the
list when Mr.. DAILY arose and shouted
that some deception had Sbeen practiced
in this bill; that a few minute before
he had gone to the Presidents desk n
asked if the bill was there, and had
been told that it had not been engrossed
yet. While Mr.. Daily was talking, the
clerk went on calling the roll, and Mr..
DAILY continued to denounce the bin as
the worst species OF legislation ever intro
duced in the Legislature of New Jersey.
It was a disgrace to the State. When
the clerk announced that the bill had
been passed. the President said that
when Mr.. Daily came to the desk the
bill was not there, but that it had just
come in from. the Engrossing Clerks
office and the calendar being clear he
had taken it up.
Mr.. DAILY repeated his denunciation of
the bill. and aid it was the most rot
TEN legislation ever attempted. At that
Mr.. VOORHEES,, the ~introducer of the bill,
jumped to his feet with anger flashing
from his eyes.

said, 'fbut I won't stand this. Idemand
that the gentleman either apologize or
be declared out of order"

it was out of order for any Senator, to
