new SCHOOL BILL
Newark Men Yield and
Measure Will Go
Through With
out Delay.
Especial to ..The Jersey city News.,,l


TRENTON, March 25, 1902.-There was
a conference in Governor Murphy's pri-
vate office yesterday afternoon, at which
it was decided that the new school bill
would have to go through without further
amendments and that such changes as
were necessary to meet the requirement
of Jersey city and Newark would have
to be made next year.
Those who took part in this conference
were Governor Murphy, State Superinten-
dent of Schools Charles J. Baxter. Assist
ant Superintendent ]. Broguard Belts,
Senator'S Wood Mckee and Thomas N
McCarter, Speakers William j. Bradley,
Assemblymen John G. Homer and J.
Henry Bachelor, and Clerk in Chancery
Edward G. Stokes, author of the famous
bill of 1900. which the courts jumped
on SO mercilessly Mr.. Baeheller argued
long and earnestly for the changes which
Newark wanted, and which were printed
in the Jersey City News yesterday.
They strike out the section of the bill
vesting title to school property in the
Board of Education; allow the school
money to be received and disbursed
through the same channel and in the
same way as other funds ard made the
adoption of the Board of School estimate
plan optional with each city.
All the other conferees favored the bill
as il was, and the Governor said that
amending the bill so late in the session
would injure its chances of passing. and
while there might be room for amendment
and improvement it would be better to
pass it now and amend it next year if
necessary. A general law was needed by
the whole State and the disadvantages
arising from failure to pass such
measure would be more serious than any
temporary inconvenience Newark or Jer-
sey City might be put to by its passage.
The Newark men finally yielded and
agreed that the bill should go through
without further delay.
The House passed the School bill this
afternoon by a vote of 81 to 10. When it
came up Mr.. Fallon made a savage attack
upon 1t, IN which his zeal several time,
ran away with his reason, and provoked
the hearty laughter of the chambers and
lobbies. He spoke of the conference III
the Governors office yesterday and
warned the Republicans that if they
passed the bills the people would wipe
them off the face of the political earth
next fall. Mr.. Hamill won new laurels
by an eloquent speech against the bill,
and Mr.. Treacy confirmed the suppression
he made early in the session of being d
clear headed political reasoner, by also
opposing the measure. Mr.. GarrabranGt
of Essex created much amusement by
saying that he would vote against the bill
but not on account of any argument the
Hudson men had made. After an hours
debate Leader Horner moved the previous
question which was carried and the vote
of the bill taken The ballots of the Re
publieans who voted No were. received
with applause by the Hudson men.
{ The House was placed under call. Sea-
ate passed bills appropriating s.. 500 for a
tablet to commemorate Battle of Paulus

INF ANGUS NO. 23I
Vigorous Attacks by Hud
sons Democrats Weaken
the Measure.
[speclal to nThe Jersey clty News.nl

TRENTON, March 25, .1902.-One of the
largest throngs of the session crowded
both chambers of the State House last
evening and followed the proceedings of
the two branches of the Legislature with
close attention. The lobbies, too were
crowded, but almost everyone in the
throng was interested in some bill or
other and allowed that interest to SO run
away with them that the Speaker fire.
quently threatened to have the lobbies
cleared if they did not make less noise.
Over in the Senate Chamber the Presi-
dent gave strict orders that no one should
be allowed the floor except those who
were entitled to that privilege and the
sergeant-at-arm vigorously enforced the
order.
As usual, there We're many Jersey City
statesmen in the throng, but Mayor
Pagan was not one of them. Neither was
his suite largely represented. The only
real member of that more or less distin-
guished body who made himself felt was
little Robert Carey, whose burden was
another amendment to the infamous 23l-
This provided that "the provisions of
this act shall not repeal nor apply to any
law providing for the creation of pensions
for police or fire departments. Mr.. Carey
took his little amendment to Mr.. Bachel-
Ter, the Essex man, who is responsible for
the iniquitous measure, and he declared
that Mr. Bachelor told him it was ac-
ceptable to him and would be ineorpor-
ated in the bill. If that is done, the Hud-
son Democrats will have accomplished all
that they attempted to do when the bill
first made its appearance. They have SO
amended it that it is robbed of all It's
terrors and is practically harmless mea-
sure.
one Of the most remarkable features
of this contest has been the undignifisd
haste with which the Pagan outfit has
come down from the high posiIlon which
they assumed at the outset. -..ey the:
declared that the bill should go through
just as it was and there would be no
amendments Then the Democrats, sup
ported by 1.-THE Jersey City News made
determined attack upon the measure
and have achieved notable victory.
Corporation Attorney John Wahl Queen,
Superintendent of Schools Snyder and DR..
Allen were among the interested ones, AMI
their interest centered in the new school
bill. but that all absorbing measure did
not show its head at all
Frank Higgins and J. Herbert Potts did
considerable running about among tile
lawmakers and gave people the impress
sion that they were interested in some
measure or other: but they solemnly de-
clared that such was not the case and
they were here simply Ito look the boys
over.
Clerks Michael sKeiaher Of the Board OF
Finance ard Charles Esterbrook of the
Fire Board were also among the visitors.

When it was brought up Mr.. Bacheller
the Republican leader said: This is the
