GALVIN'S BARBER BILL

special to 1.-THE Jersey City News.'')
TRENTON, March 1-Assemblyman
Joseph F. Calvin, Of Jersey City intra-
duced a bill yesterday, which will interest
all the BARRIERS throughout the State. It
regulates the practice of barbering, au-
fhorizing the Governor to appoint State
Board of Examiners for such purpose to
consist of three members. one boss bar
ber and two practical journeymen bar
bers. for terms Of two years. This board
shall have a president, secretary and
treasurer from their membership. Three
doElors a day and expenses shall be paid
each member out of the fees received.
The board shall provide for examining,
licensing and granting certificates to bar
bers; shall also provide for improved SAN
itary conditions, etc.
A similar measure was introduced by
former Assemblvman Lehlbach, of New
ark, last year, and although it passed the
House by unanimous vote, the bill was
mysteriously lost somewhere between the
House and Senate as it never reached
its proper destination. The clerks of
both Houses denied responsibility for it's
disappearance although it was known
that a powerful lobby was at work TO
accomplish its defeat.
Assenblyman Calvin says he purposes
to watch his bill this year and if any
underhand tactics are attempted to steal
or lose the measure after it passes the
House, he will demand that rigid inves-
tigation be made to ascertain how it is
possible for any bill to be lost or stolen.
1t is not the first time that a legisla-
tive bill has gone astray IN this manner.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

Michael Koherherr, sixty years old, Of

on his way to the City Hospital For
some time past the members of his family
and his friends had noticed that he acted
queerly and at times they found it nee
cessary to strap him down to prevent him
from doing injury to himself and others.
On two occasions he attacked people on
the street and was arrested for each of
tense. He appeared to be all right and
escaped in each case with a slight fine.
His queer antics at his house yester-
ady led his family to decide that the best
thing to be done was to confne him in
some institution. Tn old gentleman evl-
IDENTIFY overheard the conversation, but
said nothing. He retired at his usual
time last night and apparently slept
soundly His wife, Mary, arose at six
o'clock this morning and went below to

bedroom and was surprised before enter

ments of the bottle that had contained

A physician was Immediately summon
ed. He ordered the patieats taken to the

ID surprise in the Senate yesterday after
noon, when he wlsndrew the automobile
bill which he introduced some three

drastic provisions. Mr.. Frelingh,iysen
Immediately proposed a substitute meas
nre. which, he says. will be reported by
the Judiciary committee, as he has sub
mitted it to the individual members Of
the committee and they approved it.
4 The substitute bill differs from the
original in several minor particulars and
in two particulars that are material. The
license charge OF rs cents per horse
power for each machine is abandoned,
ard in its place is a provision that each
machine Of 80 horse power or less shah
pay d fee Of So and each machine Of
above 80 horse power shah pay fee Of

The changes in the Frelinghuysen sub
