NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
awe Legislature Adiourns.

Six months later than the longest
legislative session in the history Of
the State, the One Hundred and Thir-
ty-first Legislature adjourned sine die
at Trenton, after a concluding SEES
sion marked by many remarkable
features. In the closing hours sew
eral of the most important measures
that have been before the Legislature
in years appeared, measures to which
both political parties have pledged
themselves, notably the public util-
tiles bill, the civil service commission
bill, the direct primaries bill and the
bill giving to the voters an opportun-
ity to express their preferences for
United States Senators. The last two
bills were passed by few votes, but
the former two failed of enactment.
The parties split squarely on the mat
ter of Eesting a rate making power
in the Public Utilities Commission.
The bill as drafted in the Senate
lacked this power, and in its passage
in the upper house received the votes
of all except Senator Colby, who de-
manded that this power be given to
the commission, saying that the bill
without 1t would be ineffective. At
the conference preceding it's introduce
ton in the Senate the Democratic AS
sembly members of the Conference
Committee announced that they
would try to have the bill amended
in the House to meet these views.
They kept their promise and fought
hard for the rate making amendment,

Will PROCEED
AGAINST HARTMAN
[By Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON Nov. 16.-In spite
of the insistence in certain quarters
that it is responsible for the furry in
Wall street, with echoes in other
parts of the country, the administra-
ton is proceeding with it's plans, ac-
cording to high authorities here, for
prosecution of the Hartman roads
for alleged infringements of the law.
But before this course is taken it Is
desired to conclude the hearing now
under way in New York, and make
Hartman answer certain questions.
1t is understood that Commission
er Lane has not yet made any report
on the rebating recently INDUCED in
by the Southern Pacific. The first
attack in the west will probably be
against the community of interest
between the Hartman roads and the
Santa Fe, which, If proved, would
constitute violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law

MESSAGE
IS ABOUT.
FINISHED
PRESIDENT, AMONG OTHER MEA-
sURES, ADVOCATES Pos
tai SAVINGS BANKS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA spec
ial to the San Francisco Chronicle
says: President Roosevelt has about
got his message to congress ready,
and persons who have had friendly
chats with him recently say that he
has very freely discussed with them
topics which he will, without doubt,
treat of in that important state doc
ument.
The recent finacial disturbances
were given attention and will be
used to point his belief that an
emergency taxable currency should
be authorized, based on assets. The
president will advocate federal IL
cense for all Interstate corporations
with aggregate business exceeding
certain limits 1t will be urged that
the powers of the Interstate COM
merce commission be extended to su-
pervision of stock and bond issues.
Amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law is favored, so as to forbid
such combinations in restraint OF
trade only as shall be pronounced
unreasonable by the courts. A grad
uate inheritance tax will be advo-
Gated and the postal savings bauk
will get good word, also the estab-
lishment of more effective public
health service, If not a new depart
ment of public health. An income
tax will be urged. The revision OF
the Philippine tariff bill is considered
essential for the prosperity of the
islands, the president believing that
a better market should be created
for their products.
The passage of a modified shipping
bill is another thing that is pretty
sure to be urged in the message. The
extension of the parcels post will be
given friendly attention, and there
are other things scheduled for re-
view, but the pressing topics in the
presidents mind are currency re-
forms. modification of the Sherman
law, shipping bill and Philippine tar
If legislation.

The MARKET
WAS VERY Dull

NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-The gen.
eral tone in today's stock market was
inclined to hopefulness, but the eff
feet on prices was marred by the re-
sumption of some forced liquidation
in a limited group of stocks which
had a sympathetic effect on the
whole list. The Hill stocks and
Atchison were notably affected by
this selling and made wide declines
on comparatively light transactions.
When this was completed there was
vigorous recovery. The market
was dull.

POSTAL savings
FINDING FAVOR

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Post-
master General Meyer, after talk
with the president today, made a
statement at the White House to the
effect that opposition to the postal
savings bank system, which he pur-
poses to recommend to congress for
adoption, was rapidly fading away
among the banks of the country
which had hitherto opposed it.
Meyer said the daily reports of his
department showed that thousands
of depositors in the banks of the
country who had withdrawn their
deposits during the present furry
were buying the money orders of the
postoffice department, good for one
year.
