Probe Railroad Rates Worse

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24-Preceded

tons, the house agreed without oppO-
sition 10 the Tillman-Gillespie resolu-

as rebuke to the recent ''puerile" re-
port which had been made by certain
railroad official Mr. Gillespie Crex)
said if half he had heard was true the
commercial brigandage of today put
entirely in the shade the holdup man
of the frontier days. Mr.. Townsend
OIichJ, who presented the resolution
from the committee. discussed the con-
ditions which, il his opinion, made it
a necessity.
The only note of apprehension was
from Mr.. Mann Qll.l who called atten-
ton to the law which eXesnpts from
prosecution persons who may testify
in the inquiry In this manner. he said,
the guilty officials if any such were
found, might be able to escape punish
ment. 1t was explained that the reso-
luton in 10 way changed the existing
law on this point and the belief was
expressed that in making the inquiry
the commission would exercise discre-
tion in getting its information from
sources which would not exempt possi-
bly, guilty parties.
BY vote of 8 to > the senate COM
mittee ON interstate commerce agreed

The plea must be taken by the

given for the taking of the plea when
Justice Fort sat here at the Decem-
ber term of court. He was also here
twice since that time at the and SEN
fencing OF the slot machine men, yet
the plea has never been taken.

DEBATES AT
HIGH SCHOOL
Literary Societies Discussed lm-
pOrtant Questions at Their
Meetings Yesterday.

Debates on timely subjects were
the features of the meetings of the
nigh school literary societies yester-
day afternoon.
in the Senior-Sophomore society
the debaters argued the question,
Resolved, that the county would be
benefited by extending the term Of
the presidency to six years. " Those
who argued for the affirmative won.
They were Benjamin Goldberger,

Miss Agnes Byrnes, '06. The mega
tive speakers We're Miss Agnes Nc
CURE. '06, David Wilmer, '0S, and

Miss Louise Rock, 'O6, gave a hu-
morous reading. and articles on sub
iects OF current interest were read
by Miss Clark, 'OS, Mr. Smith, '0S,
and Miss Gluck, '0S.
The Junior Freshman society de-
baters argued as to whether OF not
the high school building should be
used for the high school department
only" The affirmative speakers re-
ceived the favorable decision of the
judges. From the way the high
school department is growing, the en-
tire building will probably be needed
for that department of the public
schools within two or three years, as
the high school department has all
but a very few of the rooms in the
/ building now.

bate were Miss Harriet Tice, '07, Ed

QUESTION THE PAY OF
MAN TO WHEEL COAL.
Commissioner Voorhees, Wanted
TO Know Who Hired Him and by
What Authority.
OTHER BOARD MATTERS
Resolutions on Death of the
Mayor Adopted Report Of the
Work at Pumping Station.

When the pay roll of the water de-
partment was presented to the water
commissioners, at the meeting held
in the superintendent's Office, last
night, Commissioner William Voor-
hees, in looking over the items, no.
ticed the name of a man whom the
board had not appointed. The fell
low was down for wheeling coal at
the plant at Runyon. Commissioner
Voorhees, wanted to know how long
that man had been on the pal roll and
who had authorized his being put to
work.
It seems that the superintendent
needs a man to wheel coal and to
help around at Runyon while the new
work of building the pump house is
going on and he was under the inn
preston that the board had given
him the power TO put the man to
work, temporarily, so he had hired
the laborer.
Commissioner Voorhees, said that
the board had rules and regulations
and should live up to them, half way
any how, and that as they had the
power TO appoint men to go to work
he thought that they should do SO.
This brought forth from Commissions
er O'Hara the statement that the
board should not live up to the rules
and regulations half way, but all the
way, and for that matter that the
board had never appointed any one
with the exception of the superintend-
ent and two tappers and that the
council had appointed the rest of the
employees.
President Convery said that when
the present board was appointed they
had found the present employees OF
the water department in Office, to
which Commissioner O'Hara said that
they now found this new man at
work. To this Commissioner Voor-
hees said, "It seems so, but it is not
right"
President Convery declared that
the man had put in his time and as
the laborer was worthy of his hire,
it was only right that the man should
receive the money due him for the
work, and that after u at the board
could decide as to what they would
do in regard to discharging or keep
ing him. Commissioner voorhees,
signed the expense bill, after some
talk, ir aich Superintendent Burns
proved 1T the man was needed and
ia &C: lainly earn his money by hard
work, the board decided to keep him
until the present work of improve.
ment has been completed.
Progress was reported on the new
foundation and house for the triple

coived from the Worthington people,
in which they asked for an extension
of time for the putting up of the en-

The council chamber at city hall
was crowded last night at the public
hearing given by the Board of Alder
men to all who desired to speak in
connection with the Madison avenue
paving matter Those who spoke for
each paving material were about
equal in number A petition bearing
the signatures of fifty-one Madison
avenue people was presented and
rad. 1t requested the aldermen to
award the contract for brick pave
ment, and stated that the bid for lay
ing the brick most likely to be accept
ed was seventeen cents cheaper than
that for bitulithic.
The bids we're received by the al
ten bidders, but none of them bid for
laying wood block, most of them be-
ing for brick, and three for bitulithic.
There were few brick bids lower
than 81 per square yard, but the
Metropolitan brick, for which the
New Jersey Paving Corporation bid
So came nearest to passing the test
required in the specifications. The
Standard Bitulithic Company's bid
for Warren bitulithic pavement was
$2.17 a square yard.
The contract will be an immense
one 1t is for paving Madison avenue
its entire length from the Raritan
river to New Brunswick avenue. 1t
will amount to about $4,000 There
will be about $4,000 square yards of
pavement about $500 lineal feet of
blue stone curb set in concrete; and
about 2,200 lineal feet of old curb to
reset.
The work must be completed in
140 working days from the date OF
the signing of the contract. Each
bidder had to submit ten samples of
each kind of brick to be tested
While last nights gathering was
assembling, the arguments for and
against brick were presented over
and over by groups of taxpayers in
the Railways and on the sidewalks;
and several representatives of paving
concerns kept on the go looking for
their opportunity to "butt in" on the
groups and exploit the merits of their
products.
When Alderman-at-Larg Pfeiffer
called the gathering to order, every
seat in the council chamber was oc-
cupied and more than score of men
were standing. All of the members
of the council were present with the
exception of Alderman Grouse. The
majority of those present were Mad
ison avenue residents.
v Petition Presented.
Thomas j. Smith, of 101 Madison
avenue, presented petition asking
for brick pavement 1t contained
his signature, followed by the sigma
lures of fifty others. City Clerk Mac
William read the petition and the
names of the signers
Mr.. Smith then spoke in behalf of
the petition which his name headed.
He said that when the petition for
brick, bitulithic or wood block was
presented to the Board of Aldermen
some time ago, it was with the under
standing that the cheapest pavement
which passed the required test was to
be accepted He said that those who
signed the petition presented last
night for brick understood that the
brick, for which the bid per square
yard was 50, had come up to the re-
Quirements. Mr.. Smith referred to
the local streets which are paved with
brick and said that they are very sat
