Impression it was the intention of the
.oyernment to try the Kester and
Eettenbach cases first and minor ac-
ions afterward. The governm ent
as decided the best policy is to try
be lesser cases first, to show the

ieye the cases would never come to

The government has been led to I'm
ierstand that the timber land defend

On the other hand, the federal au-
horities are thoroughly conversant

Bertha Pape-TOOk Razor From

Brooding Over Troubles and That
Is Given As Reason for the Act, by

Mrs. Bertha Quick. thirty-one
years old, of 23 William street, wife
of Joseph b. Quick, of Market street,
killed herself this morning by cut
ting her throat from ear to ear with
razor owned by her brother, Henry
Pape, with whom she was making
her home.
The act must have been committed
this morning between Z o'clock and
1880 O'Clock for Mr.. Pape told Il
NEWS reporter that he got up at Z
O'Clock and went over to his bureau
where he always kept the razor in
the right hand side of the top drawer.
He found that this drawer was open
and the cover of the razor was on the
missing Mr.. Pape went out to the
next room and calling to his sister
asked her what had become of the
razor. She replied that she did not
know, but that it must be in its place.
Mr.. Pape then went back to his room.
When he came out again it was
about 7:30 o'clock. He glanced into
MS sister ROOM, Ine uOOT DelnS
slightly opened, and saw her lying on
the bed with razor held in her right
hand. He went into the room and
found she had cut her throat and was
dead. Blood covered the walls and
bed clothing.

the Blue Front grocery, who was
passing at the time, was stopped and
asked to go for Coroner Bishop. The
latter arrived at the house about $3.50
o'clock. He viewed the body and
gave permit to Undertaken Burke

Mr.. Pape said that he could not un>
derstand why his sister should have
committed such a rash act, but that
she must have been temporarily in
sane. The razor with which the deed
was committed had been put careful
ly away last night before Mr.. Pape
retired and he thinks his sister must
have taken it after 12 O'Clock.

TRENTON, Apr. 12.-Debate I'M
equaled for bitterness in recent years,
marked the progress through the
house last night of the bishops
BILL by vote of "a to 20, but not
until after it had been radically
changed and amended. The debate
was started Immediately after the
calling of the bill on second reading.
Mr.. Miller, of Cumberland, Offer
ed the original bishops bill" as sub
stitute, declaring it was the only
measure that really represented the
temperance movement in this state.
Leader Perkins opposed this on the
ground that it would be impossible to
get such a measure through the SEN
ate. Mr.. Walsh, of Essex, replied
that the present measure had been
rightly called the brewers BILL" and
should be radically amended in some
way The Miller substitute was lost
by a vote of IL to 80.
Mr.. Morgan, of Essex, moved to
strike out the section providing that
excise boards now appointed by may
ors should be appointed by common
pleas judges.
Mr.. Martin declared that this sec
ton had been inserted as slap in the
face of Mayor Fagan, of Jersey City,
to put the excise boards in the hands
of political bosses.
This line of argument started
lively row between Mr.. Perkins, the
administration leader, and Mr.. Mar
tin over the formers claim that May
or Fagans excise board was under
indictment for malfeasance in office.
Mr.. Morgan's amendment was lost
by vote of 81 to 1S.
Mr.. Bierck argued against any ex-
else change in Jersey City and offered
an amendment to permit the present
commissioners to finish their terms.
This was defeated, as was also Mr..
Morgan's amendment to increase the
license fee to $5v~
Raises the Age Limit.
Speaker Robbins then called Mr..
Elvins to the chair and after an elo-
quent plea he secured an amendment
raising the age limit to twenty-one
years.
The bill, was then passed on sec
ond reading and under suspension Of
rules was ordered on final passage.
Mr. Thompson, of Mercer, urged
the passage of the measure. Mr.. Mil
Ter condemned the bill as a political
trick.
Messrs. Martin, Berg, Bierck and
Miller scathingly condemned the SEN
ate for the radical changes that were
made in the measure and Speaker
Robbins made an eloquent plea for
the passage of the bill, declaring that
while it was not all that was to be
desired it was the best that could be
secured at this session.
