oPCNiui W iOue6I.
Trenton, Tuesday. March 7.-All
morning hundreds and hundreds OF
people are thronging the State House
corridors, and more are coming all the
time. Equal Taxation is again on
tap. This afternoon the Judiciary
Committee will give the first of the
public hearings upon the tax bills, and
the big assembly chamber will be
packed this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Mayor Pagan. the Equal Taxation
hero of Jersey City, is here with his
able lieutenant, City Counsel REGARD,
and together they are marshalling
some hundreds of Equal Takers from
Hudson county. All of them appear
wearing a special badge. There will
be other public hearings and it is like
ly that there will be several other
similar demonstrations during the ses-
sion. To-day all one hears talked of
is the matter of equal tax, and pretty
much everybody has different no.

general expression of regret and dis
appointment from the thousands OF
jerseymen gathered here
Governor Stokes, with his staff OF
gllt-laced aids, arrived last night and
held a reception at the Arlington

fral hundred Jerseymen, including -ex-
Governor Murphy. The Governor and
pls staff did not parade to-day, how
fver, the Jersey contingent in line be
ng in command of Captain Bryant of
he Essex Troop.
1t was the poorest showing made by
Inc State since the custom of sending
me militia to inaugurationsYwas in
tltuted, and among the South Jersey
legislators who are here there is con-
lderable indignation because OF the
failure Of the State Military Board to
end a provisional regiment.
The number of visitors from all
parts of New Jersey is even greater
nan when Mckinley and Hobart,were
naugurated in 1897. Trenton has an
unusually large representation.

THE LEGISLATURE
AND EQUAL TAX

Trenton, March TIT is reported
here this evening, unofficially, of
course. that the Republican majority
of the Legislature will vote for equal
tax bill No. l, introduced in the House
the first day of the session by Floor
Leader Duffield. The measure pro-
vides for the taxing of second class
railroad property at local rates and
for the benefit OF the assessing munich
pality, but does not interfere with the
main stem" taxes collected for State
purposes. The increase in taxes to
railroads will amount to about $780,
600 annually, although this may be
cut down by amendments to be pro-
posed when the bill comes up forsvote.
This will carry out the pledges of the
last Republican platform. 1t is inti-
mated that final adjournment Of the
Legislature will be reached either
March "a OF March 80.
1t was discovered here this evening
that the law proposing the retirement
of National Guard officers at the age
Of go years is unconstitutional and
efforts of South Jersey lawmakers to
displace Adjutant General Breintnal,
because of his failure to make good
showing Of Jersey troops at the Roose-
velt inaugural, is likely to comesto
naught. The Adjutant General can
only be removed by court martial.
ThesRepublican members OF the As
sembly held a caucus this morning
and decided to pass the Municipal
| Corporation Committees substitute
| for Assemblyman Colby's limited fran
chise bill. The substitute provides
for the appointment by the Governor
of a commission Of five to investigate
the subject and report to next Years
Legislature. Mr.. Colby Withdrew
from the caucus and announced his
determinationlto oppose the committee
| substitute by Offering substitute for
| the Esubstitute IN the shape of the
original bill, with the time limit
raised from twenty-f five to fifty years.
Mr.. Coyne introduced resolution
authorizing the Governor to return a
Confederate flag to the Governor Of
| North Carolina, captured by the Ninth
| New Jersey Volunteers at the battle Of.
Newbern. The flag was presented to
the Beaufort.. .PlowsBoys by the ladies
OF Beaufort, N. q. The reason for
this resolution is the fact that New
Jersey has appropriated. $4,000 to erect
suitable monument at Newbern in
honor of the Ninth New Jersey Volun-
teers.
The House passed the Senate bill
| providing for commission to codify
the General corporation laws of the
State.
The Senate, under suspension of
the rules, passed Senator Hutchinson's s
bill introduced last night, prohibiting
the granting of saloon Licenses to any
new place within 200 feet of a church,
school or armory.
The7proposition to appropriate $15,-
600 for the removal of the New Jersey
building at the st. Louis Exposition
and it's re-erection at the National
Guard. camp grounds, Sea Girt, re-
ceived a setback in the Senate, where
the proposition was finally tabled
Both Senate and House adjourned
until tomorrow.

CORDOvA AND
BOVINE ARE BACK.

Hoots and jeers from the throats of
fully 100 people, mostly women and
girls, greeted ex-Rev. j. F. Cordova
and Julia Bovine as they alighted from
a train at the Pennsylvania Railroad
station this afternoon. Many Of the
women and girls pressed forward in
an attempt to mob the couple, who
d come from Washington without
requisition, but the police managed to
hold them in check. Miss Bovine be-
came greatly frightened at the demon
stration, and retreated to the car.
Constable Pelitier, who thought she
was attempting flight. chased after her
and got her back, while the mob sent
up more derisive shouts.
The crestfallen couple, who had been
caught in boarding house in Wash
ington, were taken before Justice of
the Peace Charles Sedam,1 sitting in
the office of the county jail. There
Cordova was held under $1,000 bail to
answer the charges of desertion and
abandonment preferred by Mrs. Cor
| dova. Miss Bovine, who was served
with awarrant by Prosecutor Berdine,
as she stepped into the midst Of the
mob, was held under $500 for her ap-
pearance at the hearing of her lover.
No charge, it is said, could lie against
the girl unless it could BIZ shown that
she was with her lover in this State.
At the conclusion Of the hearing a
photographer endeavored to take a
| fiashlight picture of the couple. Cor
doya held his hat up to hide his face.
Prosecutor Berdine ordered him to re-
move the hat but his lawyer told him
to do as he pleased. Rev. J. Il. Shaw,
pastor of the First M. E. Church, told
him he might as we'll have the picture
taken, and he held the prisoners hat
while the flash was made.
When the couple were taken to the
Jail Miss Bovine was given cell in
the witness section, while Cordova
was sent in the general pen. There
we're about SO tralnps and petty crimi-
nails in the corridor, and they set up a
shout of welcome. Some of the men
we're playing cards. Cordova stopped
at the entrance of the corridor.
whats ID the matter, dominie?''
said negro prisoner. Afraid 4 de
card game? Come in; it won't hurt
you. You've done worse things than
play cards.
Cordova said nothing, but went to a
corner and sat down on stone. A
number of women called at the Jail
and asked to see the former preacher,
but they were denied admittance.
At the Jail Rev. J. E. Sawn, pastor
of the Pitman M. E. Church, on be-
half of the Discipline Committee of
conference, served Cordova with a
copy OF the charges on which he must
stand trial at the approaching session,
preliminary to his expulsion from the
ministry. Cordova has retained Frank
Bradley and Arthur Clark, local at
torneys, to represent him. The Grand
Jury is to be convened on Tuesday next
to consider additional charges against
him. Cordova had only $1.25 in his
pockets. Miss Bovine was penniless.

STATE ARSENAL A
QUAINT STRUCTURE.

Trenton, March 2.-One of the
uuaintest buildings in the State is tne
Trenton arsenal, that was formerly
the State prison, and which several
members Of the Board OF Prison In
spectors are desirous shall be annexed
to the present penal institution which
adjoins it. the plan for building an
annex in front OF the prison having
been abandoned because OF the diff
culties in the way OF tunnellng Third
street, which would necessitate the
tearing out of sewer, gas and water
pipes, OF which there is no diagram in
existence, and thereby temporarily
Gripping the establishment.
4 The arsenal fills out the southern
part of the prison block that is bounded
by Third, Cass, Second and Federal
streets. It fronts on Second street,
and, with the, exception Of it's main
entrance, is surrounded by rough,
whitewashed stone wall, several feet
lower than thataround the prison.
The man building, which is under
three roofs, was erected in 1897 by
Jonathan Doane, father of the late
Bishop Doane, of the Episcopal dio-
cese OF New Jersey, the State prison
ers previous to that time having been
confined in county jails. These were
poorly ventilated, scantily lighted and
ill-smelling, in which murderers,
drunkards, counterfeiters and lunatics
were on a common level, and women
we're associated with the most de-
praved men.
Even this first State prison was q
place uncanny enough, and it's small,
damp cells with solid oaken doors and
lighted only by diminutive barred
holes, present a gloomy contrast to the
comfortable appointments of the pres
ent quarters next door.
The exterior is OF gray sandstone,
with frontage of 200 feet. Above
/ the entrance is marble tablet with
the inscription:
|LABOUR, SILENCE, PENITENCE.
The Penitentiary House.
Erected by Legislative Authority,
Richard Howell, Governor;
In the XXI year of America

That those who are feared for
their crimes may learn to fear the
law and become useful,

FUSED as the home Of the prison keeper.
THE other sections contain the cells,
with musty dungeons in the Easements
&below. There are some closet.like
apartments which were used for es-
&pecially unruly subjects, of such shape
las to compel the inmates to MAINTAIN a
standing posture day and night, and
with barred trap openings in the doors
barely large enough for passing food
and water through.

Z Found the Horse.

Officer Fred Barton picked up a
horse and carriage on the street Mon
day about four O'Clock and took
it to the stables of Nat Atkinson.
Afterwards young man came to
police headquarters looking for the
horse. He said he had it hitched on
South avenue last evening and when
he went for it the team was gone and
he had looked for it for hours. It was
thought that some one had taken it off
for drive as the halter had been un-
fastened from the horse and left on
the hitching post.

The Ex Parte goes into spasms
about The Tribune securing the

pobtishes . statement to the effect that
tbe city paid to The Tribune for its
AZ yesrs service. 1901. 1909 and 1908

The Tribune has the right to sup
port any ticket or set Of men is de-
sirss to. II is an independent paper

the Ex Parte claims IL did. the city

Every body knows that during those
boom days there was more ordinances

At any time in the history Of the
city. 1t charged the city just what
it charges the business man and other
people. IL has but one price and all

The Ex Parte says that the work
the last two years was done by il for
. little over $500. But Moore don't
say that nearly all Of his bills were
cut down by the council for exhorbi-
tAut charges Of them being
double what he did the same work for

fault that he didn't get u. 200 ont Of

Mr.. Moore states that the reason
I; The Tribune is supporting one Of

The mayor has nothing to give out

we challenge Mr.. Moore or anyone

the city official paper bot az years
