new BRIDGE OPEN
TO PUBLIC TODAY
CONTINUED from Page IL


there was an argument. over what
that embraced. Then the county and
city differed as to what and how
much of the northely approach to
the bridge each should build. Sew
eral heated conferences ended in a
compromise, each agreeing to build
part, the city's part to extend a short
Raritan North Shore railroad, a
branch of the Central. The approach
is wooden trestlework except for the
bridging of the Raritan North Shore
track, where an iron girder bridge
was built. This city is trying to COM
pei the railroad company to bear the
! expense of this bridge.
Two winters saw a section of the
bridge near the channel destroyed by
ice foes.
C. A. Bloomfield began operations
in the county board and the courts
to prevent payment to Sanford &
Harris, and the matters growing
therefrom were taken before the
United States War Department, and
several hearings were held, the last
on February IA last, following which
came an order from the war depart
ment to put in steel spans for 40
feet this side of the draw and just be-
yond. This can be done, it is main
tanned, without Interfering with traf-
ic.
Bills to validate payments and con-
tracts connected with the bridge were
introduced in the legislature, and
that of Senator jackson was passed.
This bill was signed by Governor
Stokes last week.
The hearing on the latest writ Sc
cured by Bloomfield was postponed
frequently, but was Yesterday dis
missed and preparations were at ice
begun to throw the bridge open to-
day. 1t would have been done yes
terday afternoon but Sanford & Har-
ris could not get men in readiness.

PRESIDENT ON
TOP AS USUAL
House Committee Meets His
Views on Beef Inspection
Court Review Clause Is Out.

WASHINGTON. June 10.-The house
committee ON agriculture authorized
Chairman Wadsworth and Representa-
tive Brooks of Colorado to amend the
meat inspection provision in the agri-
cultural bill to meet the views Of
President Roosevelt, after which the
measure will be submitted to the presi-
dent by Speaker Cannon.
The basis of Il complete agreement
between President Roosevelt and the
committee was arrived at Mt the White
House. Speaker Cannon represented
the committee there. The bill author
ICES IN annual appropriation of $4,000
600 to pay the cost of inspection and
will contain no provision for the levy
of an assessment to make up any de-
ficiency in the amount available for
this work, as suggested by Mr.. Cowan,
representing the Texas cattle growers,
and later urged by the president.
The court review proposition will not
be contained in the measure. This ac-
ton meets the suggestion of the presl-
dent.
These changes made, the president
indicated his entire satisfaction with
the measure which was reported from
the committee as a substitute for the
Beveridge amendment.
There is to be no date on the label
of the packing Of meat food products.
In this the president yields to the COM
mittee. The language which gives in
spectors the right to enter the packing
plants at all times is amplified by the
words whether the same be in opera
tioD or not"
The house adjourned Immediately
upon the announcement of the death of
Representative Rufus e. Lester OF
Georgia. Before the announcement the
agricultural appropriation bin was
sent back to the committee in order

RECEIVER HAS MONEY
OF BANK DEPOSlTORS

NEWARK, June 19.-Application
has been made to the chancery court
of New Jersey by Gen. Joseph w.
Plume, receiver for the Newark Saw
ings Institution, for an order making
disposition of unclaimed funds due
depositors now in. the receivers
hands. Mf.g e..
In his application Gen. Plume an
nounced to the court that he still has
unclaimed dividends amounting to
SIS, 700, which he has held awaiting
the presentation of claims from de
positors of the defunct bank. He has
asked the court that he be continued
as receiver for a fixed period In or
der that any depositor who may still
come forward may receive his divb
dend expeditiously. Eventually the
balance of the unclaimed money will
go into the possession of the court OF
chancery.
The Newark Savings Institution
failed twice, the first time in 1877
| and again in 1884. For several years
upward of $1,000 900 of deposits
we're tied up through the two fail
ures, but under the wise administra-
lions of Receivers Wilkinson and
Gen. Plume, the depositors received
the full amount of their savings, wifi
a little premium on the older ac-
counts. The dividends paid were
equal to 100 65-1O0 per cent. or
1877 accounts and 100 per cent. on
the later accounts.

ELIZABETH S FIGHT
TO REGAIN AN AVENUE

TRENTON, June 19.-The court
of errors and appeals rendered a de-
cision yesterday by which the city
of Elizabeth 'loses its fight to secure
from the Central railroad possession
of the foot of Elizabeth avenue. This
claim has been in controversy be-
tween the city and railroad for more
than fifty years, although the litiga-
tions involved in the present decision
date back on to 1883. They may,
therefore, be regarded as of recent
origin. The complete history of the
legal battle over this mooted ques-
ton of ownership would fill several
volumes, important questions of both
fact and of law being at issue.

Is the feckiessness with which men of
known standing and ability are com
ing forward as candidates fQr places
under the Colby. o~rganizationt There's
John s.. Gibson, until very recently
secretary of the Republican State
Committee, who gave Major Lent
the opening battle in Essex, which
paved the way for Colby success, Mr.,
Gibson is out as a candidate for con-
gress, to succeed r. Wayne Parker
in one of the Eessex districts, and.
with the support of the Colby men,
he promises to shake things up at a
lively rate.
Mr.. Parker has been the
tatiye in congress of that district for
six terms, the candidate of the ma
chine each time, and he is seeking re-
nomination, but with the Colby men
SO completely organized and strength
ened By a great victory Parker will
have the fight of his life. 1t is said
that former Judge William N. Run
ypn, SO recently counted upon as a
strong ally of the Republican Organ
ization of Union county, the home of.
Senator Kean, will be a candidate
for assembly. AS Union last fall
elected one candidate-Everard
Tucker--to the legislature on me
Colby ticket, and is likely to re-elect
him this fall, that would make two
anti-machine men almost certain IN
that county, and the organization
doesn's like it at all.
1t is Just as likely that the Colby
forces will push men of the same cal
ibre for the legislative positions in
the other counties, especially as there
are evidences of revolt in many of
them. The promise of success in
South Jersey is said to be growing
brighter every day. and the fight will
be pushed with all possible vigor in
that section, no matter what the
weather conditions. Unhappily, Sem
ator Colby has been deprived of par
ticipation in the meetings held by his
faithful followers because Of his re-
cent sorrow. but it is said that he will
get down to hard work again this
week and take no summer vacation.
Nothing more has been heard from
the Senate Insurance Investigation
Committee, and it begins to look as
though somebody was awaiting or
ders from somewhere.
The inactivity of the committee,
which has held no meeting for three
weeks, strengthens the suspicion that
the game of politics now on includes
this inquiry, and that much depends
upon future moves as to whether It is
to 90 on with earnestness. Nobody
to know just why II has stop,
ped so suddenly, unless it was for
political reasons, and someone has
suggested that, perhaps, it was found
to be getting too hot to hold. The
sizzling may have scared somebody,
but the real heat is likely to show
when the investigation really begins
to investigate.
The county Board of Equalization
of Taxes were to have been called up
for a few lessons before the State
Board at the capital next Tuesday,
but the school" has been called off
for a time, because all of the county
boards have not yet been appointed
the governor. There has been SO
much wire-pulling for these jobs, and
the appointments mean so much in
the coming campaign, that the. gov
ernor has been unable to settle all OF
them. The list may be completed
this week and the actual work start
ed during the summer.
