HEARING ON
N &c
Senator HiIIery, of Judiciary
Committee, and Senator Colby
Agree Upon Next Wednesday.

TRENTON, Mar. Senator Hill
cry, of Morris county, Republican
leader in the upper branch of the leg
chairman of the judiciary commit
tee he would give a hearing next
Wednesday. following the morning
session, on Senator Colby's latest res
olution providing for an investiga-
ton into the methods of the insur-
ance companies doing business in this
state, especially as concerns the con-
ncction of such corporations and their
allied interests, including trust COM
panies.
Senator Colby objected at first to
the delay. declaring there was no
need for further hearings and that
now was the time for action, but he
finally consented to the date.
Mr.. Hillery explained that the rea-
son no report had been made by the
judiciary committee on the original
Colby resolution was because Mr.. Col
by had at a recent hearing asked for
an amendment eliminating banking
institutions from the proposed in
Quiry. He said that to the hearing
next week he would invite representa-
lives of the insurance companies and
also the state commissioner of bank
ing and insurance. Senator Minturn
has moved for an investigation of the
alleged fire insurance trust, and the
Colbyites have twice moved for life
insurance Investigations. Mr.. Min
turn and Assemblyman Martin have
given notice that they will move next
| Monday night to relieve the commit
tees from further consideration OF
these matters.
Considerable comment was caused
among the lawmakers and others at
the state house here yesterday by the
appearance of Edmund c. Whittier
/ of Newark, who came here for the
purpose of obtaining recruits for {
proposed new Democratic party. He
had a petition to this effect, signed
by Charles c. Black, of Hudson coun
ty.
MIR. Whittier approached Senator
Minturn, of Hudson, and Senator
Price, of Sussex, the principal demo
Gratis in the small representation the
party has in this legislature. Sena
tor Minturn afterward declared he
would have nothing to do with thc
proposed new party. Senator Price
also turned a deaf a to the plea.
Mr.. Whittier is said to have been {
Hearst man in the last Presidential
campaign and it is believed by many
hat the Hearst interests are back OF
the new party he is now trying tC
form.

HEALTH BOARD
GAINS A POINT

That the Board of Health means
TO do things and not to be hampered
by some little odds and ends, seems
evident from the way that they have
tackled the problem of stopping the
dumping of garbage in the dump
surrounded by Madison avenue, Cor
don. Paterson and South First
streets.
The special committee appointed
by President Victor Main to see the
Board of Aldermen in regard to the
putting a stop to this work, and to
see if the aldermen would try and
build a crematory, had a session
with the city fathers and We're in
formed that it would be impossible
to think of building a crematory be
cause they We're hampered by the
Hillery law and did not have enough
money now to do the things that
they wanted to.
A number OF the members OF the
board have seen some of the local
contractors and have asked them to
dump all the dirt that they get from
cellars and other places into the
dump and in this way, by mixing the
garbage with dirt and filing into to-
gether, it is hoped to remedy the
evil complained OF.

AND COLD
STOPS WORK.
Mechanics Employed Out Of
Door Had a Frosty Time
Of Il Yesterday.

Old Mr.. Winter and old Mr.. Boreas
had il min and tuck in this city yes
terday, and they retired the spring
overcoats and summer und~erclothlng
habit. High winds, first FRO the
west and then from the northwest,
came hustling into these latltudes,
rushing over the coast line with in
creasing velocity and cold. Last night
the wind died down a little, but 1t left
il bitter cold this morning.
The mercury dropped down the
glass like a runaway team, reaching
a degree which made ice barons hap
nv and caused all brick and mason
work in the city to be stopped. For
TO lay brick in this weather spells dis
aster, when the spring thaw comes
along and the frost comes out.
Folks starting to work yesterday
morning in the attire of the day be-
fore put back to their homes under
double reefs for the comfortable folds
of the discarded winter overcoat,
muffs and ear laps.
Along New Brunswick avenue yes
terday, where the wind could get in a
clean sweep it was fifteen degrees
above zero, while on Smith street it
was obtu twenty. Today it is said that
it was fourteen degrees in New
Brunswick avenue and twelve in
Smith street. The wind of yesterday
tore awnings and cloth signs, and
sent all sorts of light things flying
through the air.
