REDISTRICT I
BILL CASE.

49,
TRENTON, June 29.-When he
was closing the argument in favor OF
the redistricting bill yesterday, At
torney General McCarter drew the
fire of several members of the court
of errors and appeals. Among the In
terrogators were Chief Justice Gum
mere and Justices Pitney and Swayze-
The part Of the argument which
these members Of the court seemed
least inclined to accept was that COM
pairing the state constitution to the
federal constitution as the latter re-
lates to the selection of representa-
tives. Both sides have relied upon
this parallel, the opponents OF the re-
districting bill claiming that In copy
ing from the federal constitution the
trainers of the state instrument pur-
posely changed the language to COM
pel the election of assemblymen BY
the counties at large.
Early in the afternoon the court
took the case under Amusement.

Unfortunately, however, there ap
pear to be too many persons, boil
among the users and non-users, who
hold different views. Those from the
first class look upon all Legislation

ton of the temporary power theil
| vehicle gives them; the other by some
advantage of position on the high
way, or perhaps by some improper
exercise of a legal power or privilege.
They are neither of them, in most
instances, Intentional law breakers
but each, in their zeal to sustain
their own misguided conceptions oil
personal liberty, indulge in conduct
directly at variance, both with the
EXPRESS provisions of the statute and
any reasonable conception of the
rights of others.
VIZ have deemed 1t to be the duty
of this department, as far as within
it's power, to see that the people OF
both classes are dealt with firmly, but
fairly, and in strict accordance with
the very Just and equitable laws OF
II state. which have so long offered
equal protection to all citizens, and
which have lotely been supplemented
by the act under which we are now
working, and whose provisions must
not be allowed to become ineffective
through a failure to secure a reason
able enforcement.
1t will probably be found oppor-
tune at this time to call attention to
a few of the important regulations
in the new law, especially to that
clause in section twenty-three, re
garding safety of traffic, which, after
designating the rates of speed which
may be maintained, provides that
nothing in this section contained shall
permit any person to, drive a motor
vehicle at any speed greater than is
reasonable, having regard to the traf-
Hfc and use of highways, so as to en-
danger the life or limb, or to Unjust
khe property of any person. This. It
Iieems to us, comprehends the whole
tubject of motor vehicle 'regula-
lion" and, if both operators and
hose having in charge the enforce
hent Of the law will have a just re-
BARD for the maintenance of this
Reasonable speed, many of the diff
tulties will have been overcome.
1t seems desirable, also, to point
dt the heavy, but apparently just
Iknalties, against driving automo-
hes without operators licenses. BY
tts arrangement, unworthy opera
IDS may be kept from the use of the
hEhways. This feature is probably

TEACHERS PLANNING TO

Members Now Claim Measure Does
Not Meet Requirements Of
the 0riginat0rs.

TRENTON, June 29.@Teachers an
over the state are greatly interested
in the plans that are about complete
ed for taking into the courts the new
teachers retiring fund act tor the
purpose of having its constitutional
ity decided. Teachers of Hoboken and
Paterson have been the prime movers
in the project, and have coflected 2

fray the expenses of the suit. Coun-
sci has been retained, and as soon as
the board of trustees OF h teach
ers' retirement fund" which are pro-

pointed the suit will be begun. and
the trustees will be made defendants.
Some teacher, a member Of the fund,
will be the plaintiff, but who has not
been determined at this time.
The new act. which 1t was hoped
would put an end to the acrimonious
controversy over the fund which has
been going on among the school
teachers of the state for some time,
was introduced by Assemblyman Eu-
hseblius w. Arrowsmith, Jr., OF Hud-
son county, on March 20.
The bill had friends among the
teachers who visited the governor,
and they urged him to sign the meas
IRE. declaring that 1t was a good So
lution of the difficulty. Others adj
mitted that the act was not perfect
but told the governor that they con-
sidered 1t an improvement over the
old one, and IL he would only sign It
and allow 1t to be put into operation
they would endeavor to have any de-
fects it might develop corrected nexu
fyear.
Some of the opponents of the gem
eral plan of the fund as now conSti-
tuted. maintained that The new bill
was no Improvement over the plan 1t
sought to make better, and II irSRe-

fund would be ruined.
There were others who attacked

the governor, and he submitted 1t to
the attorney general for his opinion
as to whether the contention mad any
strength. The attorney general gave
the governor his opinion that the
rights of the members in classes n
and two were not impaired by the act.
and on June IA last Governor Stokes
signed the bill. filing with 1T q mem-
orandum, in which he said it was
signed upon receipt of the attorney
generals opinion and the assurances
of the committee on legislation OF the
state teachers association that they
would join in an effort next year to
correct any defect which might be
found in the law.
OF the ground upon which the cons

tackled, those in charge of the matter
will not talk.

CITY OFFICIALS
TAKEN THROUGH
NEW SUBWAY

Chicago, March 14.-Mayor Dunno and
paFAs OF city officials were whirled
through the tunnels under Chicago's
downtown streets yesterday at a rate that
almost took their breath away and left
them impressed with the vastness OF the
network OF subways that has been in
creasing until now there are As miles of
underground railway.
Entering through the main office OF the
company at III Monroe street. the party
stepped into 'lift" and took seats in a
car fashioned after the manner OF Eu-
ropean railway coaches. The lift
dropped AZ feet, and the car in which the
visitors were seated, much to their sur
prise, was coupled TO an electric locomo-
tive, looking something like an automo-
bile. and operated after the manner OF the
miniature railways in the pleasure parks.
The car held ten men. Sitting upright
their heads almost touched the trolley
wire which gave the power TO the motor.
To the changing OF bells and the signals
of switchmen down the tracks the train
started and during the run covered prac-
tically all OF the new lines.
