Especial to "The Jersey City News"B
TRENTON. Mar. /, 19G6.-The Sem
ate yesterday received the Perkins rail-
road tax bill from the House with the
amendments proposed last Monday even
ing. 1t was promptly referred to the Ju-
dietary Committee, composed Of Sena-
tors Hillery (chairman), Wakelee ami
Minturn.
When asked if the committee would
grant any hearings or the bill, Senator
Hillery said he did not think so. because
the matter had been we'll threshed out
before the Judiciary Committee in the
House and nothing could be gained by
any further hearings. He said the COM
mittee would consider the Perkins BIZ
next Monday evening and probably re-
port it Tuesday morning.
That the Perkins bill will. not pass the
Senate without considerable opposition
was made evident yesterday by remark
made by President Bradley. He said
that he did not think that it was the
best bill that could be adopted on the
equal tax question He still favored the
TWO tax bills introduced by ASsemblyuEin
Scevel, of Camden, which he caused to
be drafted and which, he said. went
further TO settle the equal tax question
than any other bin that has been pre-
sented- He allowed it 10 be understood
that he would oppose the Perkins bill
and would seek to have it amended.
If President Bradley carries out HE
intention it viii no doubt precipitaie a
lively fight and how it viii end nobody
is willing to predict. Ii may prssibly
result in split among the adnlin;stra-
tion men, with the Democrats, led by
Senator Minturn. holding the balance of
power.
Senator AIinturn said last night ~hat
he was opposed to the Perkins bill in It's
present shape and would propose a score
of amendments. which he knew the ad-
ministration Senators would not adopt.
but he was determined to place them on
record.

TRENTON, Mar. /, 1906 Assem-
blydlan Robert Scott. of Bayonne, as
chairman Of the Committee on Elections,
yesterday reported favorably Assembly
man Wooney's bill providing for the
opening of the polls ON election day from
6 a. NJ. to r. NJ, and to be kept open
between those hours without intern6s-
sion The present law requires the polls
to be sopened at 6 4 NJ. and closed at
7P NJ.
The bill was placed on second reading
later i'm the day and passed without
amendment or opposition. 1t is s,ned-
uled for final passage next Monday even
ing as the Republican leaders have ap-
proved it.
That the small Democratic minority in
the House--three members-led by Levi
H Morris. of Sussex, will fight the bill
to the last ditch when it comes up for
final passage is unquestioned. They see
in the bill scheme to prevent the work
iBgrnan from voting at the end of his
days work and to shut out Democratic
votes.
Assemblyman woolley candfd.y admits
that the object Of the bill is to keep
down the Democratic vote. It would moi
deprive any workingman Of his vote, he
claims, because such men could vote be-
fore they went TO work and those that
begin work before 6 A. NJ. would un-
doubtedly finish their labor before 5 2.
N.
Mr.. Wooiley intends to insist upon
tie passage Of his bill as drafted and IS
confident that it will receive the unani-
nous approval of the overwhelming Re
publican majority in both Houses.
Among other important bills passed by
the House yesterday were these

ance with a resolution which Assembly
man Martin. the Colby leader, iiltro6tic-
ed in the House two weeks ago. Attor-
ney-G Generai ALcCarter yesterday submit
ted an opinion as to the constitutionality
of the Duffield seeondzcfass railroad tax
alton act of last year. It was a very
cautiously worded opinion, and while it
did not state that the Duffield. net was
unconstitutional, it did not declare it con-
stitutionai
In other words. the Attorney General
stated that the question of its constitt-
tionality was very close one and lhat
he would be relieved of the necessity OF
rendering an opinion in adyanceaof any
possible litigation as it might enlbarrass
him in his future action before the
courts if the railroads contested the Duff
field acts constitutionality.
In part, the Attorney Generals opin-
ion read:-
The encouragement is by this reSpF
luton not asked by the House Of Assem-
bly, to advise them as to the colstfution-
ality of a pending bin before them, upon
the proposed passage Of which they are
deliberating, but his opinion is desired
concerning a law that not only passed
both Houses of Legislature Of 1905, but
received the executive approval, and has
since been in successful operation. With
out attack, SO far as know o. have
heard. and the embarrassment that Is
occasioned by this inquiry win at once,
l think, appear when one recalls that
every municipality or borough in which
railroads in our State now run, are. BY
virtue ofss the law in question, in receipt
of a considerable revenue from such
railroads; and if it be suggested that

THE SOCIETY OF JESUS
Jesuits May Elect German to Please
the Kaiser

| The congregation Of the Company of Je.
sus. which is in session at Rome for the
purpose Of electing a general of the society
in succession to the late Father Martin, die
not meet yesterday. but there were private
conferences between the delegates through.
out the day.
Many Of the delegates. including Father
Henry Moeller of Missouri, the Rev. Thorn
as ]. Cannon and the Rev. William O'Brien
Pardow of New York and the Rev. Joseph
'Grinneisman of Missouri visited the Church
Of Jesus, the principal church of the Jes-
uts throughout the world.
There is strong sentiment among the
delegates for the election of German as
president Of the order. This is due to de-
sire to please Emperor William who Is
showing marked courtesies to Catholicism,
and also to q hope that such an election
might induce him to suppress the law un-
der which Jesuits cannot have their houses
In Germany.
1t is thought also that It might make a
favorable impression on Russia, to which
country Jesuits have not been admitted
since they were last suppressed.
