almost every member who voted against
McCarter's bill had a grievance against
the Senate for holding up measure of
his.
When the bill authorizing the advertise
ment Of the sewerage district bill came
up in the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr..
rules to permit second and third readings
of the bill. He explained that it had been
discovered that Senate bill No 102 pro-
viding for the Passaic Sewer Commission,
which recently passed the Legislature,
would fail. because 1t had not been ad-
vertised, as all special and local bills are
required to be advertised. To meet the
emergency he and Governor VOORHEES, had
hit upon this plan, and under it they
proposed to advertise a new act, SINH
lar to No. 1o2, in the Trenton papers to-
morrow morning and Immediately there
after introduce the new bill in the Legis-
lature and have it passed before final adj
journment
Mr.. Mckee opposed, because of the bad
precedent. A million people were inter-
ested in this sewer legislation, and they
had not been legally notified by advertise
ment for week in publications in the
communities affected. If this bill passes
the foodgates would be opened for the
concoction of vicious bills, which could
be planned over night.
Mr. McCarter stated that he was willing
to have the act repealed as soon as the
desired effect is accomplished The bill
was then passed and sent to the House.
Major Carl Lentz was here early this
morning madder than a March hare
madder even than young Mr.. McCarter
was last night. But Mr.. Lentz is too
old campaigner to let hisi re run away
with his head. The defeat of his pet
scheme for sewerage districts and the
horrible break his fiery young protege
made in his foul language to the Hudson
men was what disturbed him.
The Major sought out Mr.. Tenant and
tried to placate him. He asked Mr. Ten
nant if he would be satisfied if McCarter
made sort of left-handed apology by
saying he was sorry for what happened
1t did not take Mr.. Tenant very long to
convince the Essex Kaiser that under
the circumstances Mr.. McCarter would
have to bring meat for repentance of
some more solid substance than a flip
pant II am sorry
Young McCarter is not quite so lofty
today, but he maintains that he did not
utter the foul, low-bred language with
which he is attributed, but the weight
of evidence is very much against him.
The Hudson men read the riot act to Mr..
Brock for voting with the Newark men
last night and this morning he sought to
have his vote changed.
Both Houses were late in getting to
work this morning and nothing was done
much before noon.
The advertisement which the McCarter
bill that caused the row last night, sought
TO authorize, appeared in the Trenton
newspapers this morning. The purpose of
the Essex men is said to be to pass if
possible the sewerage district bill and
then take the matter into the courts.
Major Lentz asked George Tenant if he
would not get the Hudson men to vote for
the bill, promising that if they did he
would see that Hudson got everything
they wanted in the Senate.
DO you think would do that after
what happened last night?'' asked Mr..
Tenant
The Major then tried to smooth the mat
ter over by saying that McCarter was
very sorry for what he said and was
willing to say so All the assurances the
Kaiser got was that the Hudson men
would be pretty sure to vote against the
hill
