TRENTON, Jan. 10. 1906.-As a re-
suit of a conference between Randolph
Perkins, leader of the Republican ma
jority, and William p Martin, leader
of the Record Pagan and Colby forces,
in the House. no bills were introduced
during yesterdays session. Those mem
bers who prepared bills and intended to-
offer them We're told to keep them until
next Monday evening, when the leg.sla-
tive machinery will be set in motion and
work will begin in earnest
AS a result of the understanding be-
tween the two leaders, no business was
transacted during yesterdays session,
except the work incidental to the organi-
cation of both Houses. Adjournment
was then taken until next Monday even
ing. and the legislators departed for their
homes, leaving the State House to the
care of Custodian John w. Wesenan.
That the present session will be one
of the liveliest held in many years is
almost foregone conclusion. The Rec
ordFagan and Colby forces are full of
fight and are as carefully trained to per-
form their duty as any gladiator that
ever stannad into an arena They were
elected upon an equal taxation and linn
