Mr.. HOWELL
HOME AGAIN.
TeIIsOf the immigration Commits
sion Has Not Organized YET
Work of the Last Session.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Mar. 81
Congressman Howell has returned
from Washington, d. c., having fin
ished up his work there soon after the
final adjournment of congress Mon
day.
When asked If he had accepted the
appointment upon the immig tior
commission he replied that the D.
pointment Is not one which requires
acceptance. He said that the COM
mission has not organized as yet, as
President Roosevelt has not appoint
ed his three members of the commits
sion. He said that he and the other
two members of the commission
named by Speaker Cannon had called
on the President Tuesday and he had
told them then that he had two mem
berS of the commission selected but
would not name them until he had
decided upon the third. He is de-
sirous, of course, of appointing MEM
bers congenial to the members who
were appointed by Speaker Cannon.
Upon the appointment of these mem
bers the commission will meet and
organize and lay out its program.
Asked as to legislation during the
past session of special interest to this
district, Congressman Howell replied
that nothing of special interest had
been transacted of local application,
excepting the routine harbor and riv-
er provisions and the increase in the
postoffice department salaries. Nc
New Jersey cities or towns received
public buildings this year, as New
Jersey got such liberal slice of this
