The Finance Board yesterday com
cured in several resolutions OF the Street
and Water Board at its meeting. One
OF these directed The Chief Engineer 70
prepare plans and Specifications for the
laying Of a siyteenzinch water main from
comlnunipaw avenue at the junction Of
Pacific avenue through Old Caven Point
Road; thence nnaer upper New York
Bay to BedIoe's Island in order to fur
nisi water to the Government employees
there. The application was made by
department officials Of the United States
Government, and the laying Of such main
will materially increase the income of
the Water Department.
The Board also concurred in the Street
and Water Boards resolution deciding
70 grant the petition Of Edmund Beck
and fifty other owners Of land in the
Greenyille section for the construction
OF main sewer from Pamrapo avenue

PROBING
BRIBERY
CHARGES

Special to .srhe Jersey City News.e
TRENTON. March 8 1885. Not
in the past thirty years has there been
greater excitement at meeting Of the
Legislature than that which prevailed at
the session Of the House Of Assembly
tins afternoon.
As soon us the House began its ses-
sion at 1 o'clock Lender Duffield intro
dueed a resolution calling upon Joseph
+. Naar. editor of the Trenton True
Tmerican, to sllbstantiate the alleged
charges of bribery made in an editorial
in thatapaper against certain members
of the House in connection with the
canal abandonment bin. A committee
consisting Of Speaker Avis, Leader DUFF
field and Assemblyman Haniill was
thereupon appointed to investigate the
matter and Editor Saar was immediate
II sent for. All other business before the
House was sidetracked and the greatest
confusion prevailed. The proceeding was
the most unusual tnat has ever occurred
III the history Of the New Jersey Legis-
lature.
Editor Naar appeared upon the scene
a short while afterward and was taken
before the bar Of the House Leader
Duaield acted as spokesman. Mr.. Naar
however, explained that he had been Ill
for some time and was not at present
acting as editor of the paper and could
not, therefore answer charges. He said
that Francis b. Lee was filing the Office
of editor. He said that he believed that
Mr.. Lee wrote the editorial in question.
The investigating committee then caH-
ed upon Edward p Conover, reporter
for the True American aud began to
question him as to the article which he
wrote for the paper in connection with
the same charges. Mr.. Conoyer refused
{ to reveal tile name OF the members Of the
House alleged TO have been implicated
IN the scandal The investigation was
still going on at three o'clock tll.s after
noon.
The House viii probably not adjouri.
until three o'clock tomorrow morning.

LAST LEGISLATIVE DAY.

Special 70 'The Jersey city News,
TRENTON, March 80, I9o5.--Both
branches Of the Legislature are sched-
uled to adjourn sine die at three o'clock
this afternoon, but it will probably be
nearer midnight before the actual adj
journment takes place. OF course, at
FIVE minutes before three o'clock the
hands Of the clocks in both the House
and Senate viii be stopped to enable
both bodies to pass the remaining bills
on the calendar. When they are cleared
away the lawmakers viii indulge in
horseplay and perpetrate all sorts Of
practical jokes upon one another until
Governor Stokes sends word that he has
received all the passed bills and desires
the Legislature to adjourn
The Governor will not attempt to take
action on all Of the bills before adjourn
ment BY law he is allowed ten days
after adjournment to either sign or dis
approve Of them. He can also allow
bills to become laws without his sigma
ture BY merely fling them with the Sec
retary Of State.
Both Houses We're in session until af-
ter midnight last night and the law
grinding machinery was kept continually
in notion The majority of bills passed
were those whose application is largely
confined to special parts Of the State, and
which have no interest beyond the narrow
boundaries which they are intended TO
benefit. Many Of these bills were hastily
put through. and, as one lawmaker ex-
pressed it, s;it would be easy TO put
through anv bill at this period Of the ses-
sion.' Everybody seemed 70 take it for
granted that the introducer Of bill
knew for what purpose the measure was
intended. and did not care to ask any
questions. Thus many bills were passed
that otherwise would lave provoked a
discussion

poral's guard to vote for il.
One Of the Asseinblymen who was
most active in opposing the Morris Canal
bill alleged Yesterday that he was offered
as high as $2oG9 if he would refrain
from opposing the measure His vote
was not needed. it was said and he
could maintain The stand he had taken
BY voting against It, but the interests be-
hind the bill could not afford to allow
The bill 10 be attacked if i could be pre-
vented. Ilencs the offer Of $1,000 for
silence.
Many people are contcnains today
that it the Morris Canal people offered
$1,000 to suppress opposition 70 the bill
then certainly money was used g in
fiuence votes for il, notwithstanding the
leniaIs of the men who voted for it.
The Morris Canal bill is still in the
Senate 1t was intended that it should
be called up for final passage last night
hut the rumors that bribery secured its
passage through the House and that
Leader Dufield proposed an investiga-
tion caused the Senate leaders to post
none action until today.
The Republican leaders Of the Senate
held q conference at midnight to discuss
the advisability Of passing the bin in
face of the ugly rumors No decision
was reached. but several Senators al
lowed it TO be known that they would
never vote for the bill until the atmos-
phere was cleared.
The Senators who opposed action on
the bill gave as their reason the fol-
lowing editorial from the Newark .Ad-
vertiser'':-
Reports from Trenton to-day are to
the effect that bribery was resorted 10
in order to pass the Morris Canal bill in
the Assembly on Monday night, and even
the price per vote $500 and the names
of Assemblynen are used in connection
with the ~ry charges, which are be-
ing circs 9Th little attempt at con-
ceaime.
Ever reafhe Morris Canal bill came
to be discussed in connection with the
present Legislature there has been talk
of corruption fund. which would be
used to pass any measure which the rail-
road lobby might see fit to indorse and
undertake TO push through the legisla-
tive mill. The time has now come when
this talk has assumed such shape that
It can no longer be ignored.
eThe charges Of bribery should be in
restigated and the accused Legislators
either cleared or their dereliction fully
exposed for the information of their con-
stituents. The Republican party cannot
afford to shield bribers and corruption
lists. Let there be rigid investigation
at once. and let no guilty man escaped
In the meantime it is the duty Of the
State Senate to reserve action on the
measure until the atmosphere can be
cleaDed II must not be again said,
truthfully, that New JERSEY legislators
can be bought and sold like cattle to do
the bidding of the representatives of eor-
porations. The members Of The Senate

/ TRENTON. March 80, 1905. The
Duffield equal tax measure on second
class railroad properly passed the Sem
ate Yesterday afternoon without dis
seiiting vote after Senator Alinturn, Of
Hudson, had foreibly arraigned The Re-
publican majority for having failed Is
provide in the bin for the taxation Of
main stem property, which, he said. was
the most important issue between ths
people and the Legislature.
Senator Mipturn spoke for more dian
an hour on the subject Of taxation. 4is
speech received marked attention from
the Republican majority, many of whom
at its conclusion congratulated him and
said that although they agreed with bis
views on taxation, they regretted that
they could not support him because their
votes were pledged by caucus action
Mr.. Minturn exhaustiyely disguised
the history of railroad taxation in New
Jersey. and declared that no greater or
abler opinion had ever been given in any
State than that handed down by the late
Chief Justice Beasley. in which he d.
clared that class taxation in the eases Of
railroads was unconstitutional. Tie late
Chief Justice Depue had held that the
people Of New Jersey would live to ~
sgIet the passage Of the general railroad
act Of 1884. and to-day the people were
beginning to realize and appreciate the
truth of that declaration.
He said the Dufield bill was only in
part reformatory measure. although
both Of the great political parties stood
pledged to reform the whole system Of
taxation in order that equal taxation
might be secured. The problem ef equal
taxation, intended to be solved BY the
| bill, was one which went to the hearts
of the people. and they never would be
satisfied with measure which fell 50
| far short of the solution which was,want-
ed, and which had been promised. 4hs
excuse would doubtless be made chat
