TRENTON, March II, 1902.-Some pow
erful influence has exerted itself and in
duced the Senate Committee on Railroads
and Canals to let go the bill which au-
thorizes the Pennsylvania Railroad to
construct its tunnel under the Hudson
River. The bill was held up by the COM
mittee several weeks, and various and
numerous were the reasons given there
for
The committee is composed of Senators
Miller, OF Salem; McCarter, of Essex; and
Cornish of Warren. It was said that the
influence which Senator Reed welded
was what blocked the measure, and that
he was actuated by desire to get even
with the railroad for the help it gave
Frank o. Briggs in the fight for State
Treasurer. 1t was also said that other
motives. which are not spoken of in pub
lie, had much to do with clogging the
progress of the measure through the COM
mlttee. Be that as it may, the failure of
the bill to make its appearance on the
floor of the Senate worried the men who
are supposed to look after the interests of
the Pennsylvania at the Legislature, and
had sDavy'' Baird State Banking Com
missioner BEETLE and Chancery Clerk

was banished last night, and those who
know say that the bill will go through
without further hitch.

he found it difficult to earn a living, and
his rash act of taking his life Is thought
to be due to dependency.

Phases Of His Visit to Tren-
ton Last Night; Also
Mr.. Ringle's--
Other Job.

Especial to .The Jersey City News")
TRENTON, March II, 1902.-Mayor F'a-
gan of Jersey City, with a greatly re-
duced encourage, visited the State House
again last evening. In his train this time
was only the new Assistant Corporation
Attorney. Finance Commissioner Jacob
Ringle and Alderman-at-Large P. An
thony Brock were here also. but they did
not wish to have it understood that they
were here in the train of his honor but
rather that they had come down on their
own hook.
The Mayor was here to look after his
bills for free dispensaries. free baths, free
music in the parks and the other meas
ures with which he hopes to gain some
popular approval Of his administration
Mr.. Fagan pooh-poohed the statement of
the Finance Commissioners that his little
scheme to make himself solid with the
dear people" would cost the city almost
a million dollars and said that it would
take nothing like that sum to supply the
crying needs of the public. The Mayor
did all ne could TO pursuade the members
Of the great goodness OF his bills.
Mr.. Brock interested himself in the bills
relating to the issuing of bonds by Jer-
sey City for various purposes. Just what
MIR. Ringle was after was not exactly
clear, but there was reason to believe
that he was trying to block the Mayor $
popular measures on the ground that Jer-
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1902-03-11

sew city was in no condition financially
to incur the expenses which the Mayor ;
pet schemes would entail.
Among the visitors here last evening
was Captain Jack Graham, and his
mission was purely a personal one. Last
week Senator Hudspeth introduced bill
providing that no man who had been con-
victed of any one of a long list OF crimes,
including assault and battery, should
be eligible for appointment on the police
force of any municipality. Now Cap
tain Jack wants to be appointed prose-
cutors detective in Hudson, and as he
was once convicted of assault and battery
down in Monmouth County, he is afraid
that he cannot become a detective if
the Hudspeth bill becomes law, and so
he was here last evening trying to get
the measure amended so as TO exclude as
sault and battery. How well he sue
ceeded remains to be seen.
Henry " Snyder, superintendent of the
Jersey City Schools, and Miss Elizabeth
Allen of Hoboken, visited the State
House for the purpose of getting the new
school bill so amended that it will not
deprive the teachers of the benefits of the
salary Increase bill, which Police Justice
Murphy got through for them two years
ago They succeeded in their undertaking.
Augustus Rich, town counsel of West
Hoboken, secured an amendment to the
library act, which will enable his town
to secure site for free public library.
Andrew Carnegie has given the town
SIS. 600 for a library on condition that the
town furnishes the site.
Dr. Benjamin Edge was another Hud-
son visitor to the State House. He came
down to appear before the Appropriation
Committee with the Railway Reofrmatory
Commissioners, of which he is one. Thos.
NJ Gopsill was on the same errand, and
John p Landrine was on hand looking
after the building and loan bills in which
he is interested.
