LID DOWN ON limited
FRANCHISE AGITATION.
COmmitteeAppOinted by Last L-egis-
lature Will Hold no More Meet
ings Until After Election.

TRENTON. Oct. 1S:-One of the
announcements of governors day at
the state house yesterday was that
the franchise commission appointed
by Governor Stokes should rest on
its oars and hold no public meetings
until after election. While no rea-
son was assigned for this decision it
is plain that the sweep of the cause
of limited franchises through the
state is worrying the state G. o. p.
leaders, and they desire to fasten the
lid down as much as possible and
hush the whole thing up until the
votes are counted November z.
The commission was appointed un-
der authority of the last Legislature
to investigate the whole subject of
the grant of franchises by municipal
tiles to public utility companies, all
so the question of assessing the fran
chise values of corporations using
the public streets for trolley, gas, tel
ephone, telegraph or water purposes,
and taxing them at local rates.
The act providing for the commits
sion was a republican back-down
compromise cas- to block the de-
mand of Assemblyman Colby, now
leading the limited franchise fight in
Essex county, for the passage of a
law limiting franchises in this state
to twenty-five years.
Since its organization some weeks
ago the commission has been busy,
SO a member stated yesterday, gath
ering data and information as to the
in which the granting of
franchises and taxing of them is car
ried out in other states of the union
which have taken up the matter; al
so the results obtained by such meth
DDS.
The day the commission organized
it was expressly announced that one
of its purposes was to hold public
meetings and hear people in various
sections of the state on the question.
Yesterday the whole matter was put
off until after the election.
The commission is composed of
former Governor Foster M. Voorhees,,
former Governor Franklin Murphy,
John c. Payne, secretary of the state
riparian board; Eckard P. Budd, of
the board of assessors, and Frank T.
Lloyd, of Camden.

ID. H. Hulitt, of South Amboy,
came to this city this morning look
ing for his adopted daughter, whom
he said had disappeared from home
a few days ago. He vas directed to
Police Headquarters.
Mr.. Hulit said that the girl was
about eighteen years old, of light
complexion and with a mole on each
side of her neck. He had taken her
from a home when she was five years
old. Once before she had disappear
ed and he had found her in this city.
While looking for her at South
Amboy Mr.. Hulit said he heard that
a girl answering her description Vas
living with some colored men at Mat
avian. He went to the place and the
colored men denied to him that they
were h|arboring a white girl. He in
sisted upon searching the place, how
ever, and found a girl in the attic,
hiding behind some straw. He made
her come out and after taking her
down stairs to the light he found that
it was not the girl he wanted. He
questioned the girl, however, and
she said her home was in Perth Am

say anything about it as she would
go away from the place and get a job
in a factory. She commenced work

LIMITED FRANCHISE
WINS IN elizabeth.

ELIZABETH, Oct. 1S-The Board
of Aldermen, after a long session
passed early yesterday morning an
ordinance granting to the Elizabeth
and Raritan Street Railway Com
pany, a branch OF the Public Service
Corporation, a limited franchise for
fifty years for a line along Railway
avenue.
The company for the first five
years is to pay into the city treasury
8 per cent. of its gross receipts, in
addition to the state franchise tax of
? per cent. Out of the twenty-five
aldermen at the meeting only three
voted against granting the franchise.
The Public Service Corporation
officials have asserted they will not
accept the franchise if. granted under
these conditions, but the aldermen
say the company must give an ans
wer in thirty days and if it will not
accept the franchise another traction
company stands ready to do so.

TWO DESERT COLBY
TICKET IN ESSEX.

NEWARK, Oct. 1S:-Two more
deserters from the Colby republican
assembly ticket in Essex county, were
reported yesterday. They are AL
bert c. Pedrick and John r. Lee.
Pedriclis excuse was that his father
is in the employ of a railroad, and
he feared that this might cause en-
barrassment in the campaign. Lee
said he was too poor to neglect his
work for the campaign. The other
candidate who withdrew. from the
Colby ticket last week was John II.
Knorr. In all three cases it is as
serted by the Colbyites that the men
were inundated in one way or an
other by the ruling powers. Gusta-
Vus F. Sommers has been selected to
take Mr.. Pedrick's place or the tic
ket, but no choice was made up to
last night for a %uccesso to Lee on
the ticket, although there are at least
I score of supporters of Colby 1t the
district who are willing to go in and
fight for the ticket. Thomas j. Nc
Laughlin is most prominently men
toned in the bunch.
1t is believed that nothing can
prevent the election of Colby for SEN
ator and Frank Sommer for sheriff.

there is a strong clance that Som
