Today the trains and trolley cars
to and from this city are running on
the usual schedule, but the effect of
the snow is felt by the merchants who
have had considerable trouble yester-
day and today delivering their orders.
On Smith and State streets huge
piles of snow block both sides of the
roadway and small strip between
the trolley rails is the most used por-
ton of the street. The narrow space
permits only one wagon or sleigh at
time and as a result a number of
arguments and collisions occurred
this morning. The wagon drivers re-
fuse to get off the track when a car
approaches and superintendent Par

BRIGGS NAMED FOR
i. S. SENATOR AFTER
A BITTER STRUGGLE

TRENTON, Feb 6:-New Jersey
has new United States senator, who
will take his seat after March 4, next.
He is Frank 0. Briggs, of this city,
now state treasurer and chairman CT
the Republican State Committee He
was chosen by the joint session of the
Legislature at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon on the only ballot taken,
and when President Minch announced
the result you could hear the shouts
of the eXultant ones fully ten yards
away. The democrats voted sohdly
for James E. MARITIME, of Union cUun--
ty, who promises to give the repub-
licans all kinds Of trouble next fall as
the probable candidate for governor.
The result was reached in the re-
publican caucus which wavered for
hours between the treasurer and Sen
ator William J. Bradley, of Camden
county, who came precious near
leading the prize at several stages of
the fight. Mr.. Briggs got on the joint
ballot forty-one votes, which was pre-
cisely the majority of the joint legis-
lature of eighty-one members. Two
democrats, Auf Der Heide and Ep-
pinger, of Hudson, and one republic
an, Buck, of Cumberland, were alb
sent. Buck was severely Ill with
threatened appendicitis at his hotel
in this city. The other two were just
absent. sBut the absentees made no
difference to the result. The repub-
llcan caucus had unanimously"
agreed to stand for Briggs after the
hard fought battle and there We're
forty republicans in it, Senator Col
by had dropped out. Senator Ack-
erman refused to go in. Assembly
man Fake stood with Colby and Buck
was i'll.
When, after hard morning, Briggs
got twenty-three votes in the caucus
all the other men rushed to cover and
the nomination was made unanimous.
In the joint session, however, Acker-
man voted for former Governor John
w. Griggs, and Senator Colby for SUI
preme court justice Pitney, while
Fake cast his lot with the regulars
for Briggs. 1t was held that but
forty votes were necessary. in view of
the three absentees, to assure a ma
jority of "all those voting as requir-
ed by the federal statute. But the
action OF Assemblyman Fake, of Ber-
gen, who has been one of the persist
ent anti-Dryden men, in voting for
Briggs, cast aside all doubt and gave
him tho N u inritv Of tho u-hnln lnpiS-

1ASYb -IEn NuCSSlktEs
M 1t was heart-breaking finish for
1.-The Briggs victors They had lost
sleep in the endeayor to patch up a
truce. When they left the state
house, after last nights caucus, they
looked glum. When they got up af-
ter few hours fitful slumber yes
terday morning, they looked worse
than glum The situation at 8
o'clock yesterday morning was so
bright for the election of Senator
Bradley, of Camden, that it seemed
that some of his supporters needed to
be held down. They said nothing,
however, but kept their own coun-
sci. State Assessor Baird gave up
before he retired for the night at the
Sterling, and some of his chief lieu
tenants, who had been busy for hours,
snatched nap.
Senators Colby and Ackerman,
with number of South Jerseymen,
who felt that the prize ought to go to
that section, had sundry private con-
fabs that lasted far into the stormy
morning, for the caucus was due to
re-convene at 9 O'Clock and hustling
was necessary. Baird had said that
he got out because the "other man
had the votes and efforts were made
to get him to turn in earnestly for
Bradley. He looked over the situa-
ton and said he would be glad to
have the Camden man win If he could
command the votes, but that If there
was no chance it was not worth while
for South Jersey TO throw away its
strength. 1t was known that a con-
siderable number of the legislators
were anxious to vote for Governor
Stokes, among them some from the
lower tier of counties, and these men
were asked to turn their attention to
Bradley.
The battle was getting along IA
omusly. Senator Avis and Assembly
man Cattell of Gloucester county,
and Jess and Gibbs, of Camden, led
the forces for Bradley and it looked
as though there might be a deadlock
for another week or victory for the
Camden men. Adjutant General Muir
ray, Assemblyman Barber, Senator

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
MUCH BETTER TODAY

tain had his troubles this morning
trying to keep the way clear. Many OF
the wagons could not back up in front
of the stores on account of the piles
of snow and were compelled to stop
in the middle of the street.
Street Commissioner Fullerton
has a large gang of men and wagons
at work removing the snow from the
two main streets but as yet travel Is
difficult. The crosswalks on many of
the streets have already been cleaned.
Few of the property owners have
cleared their walks in spite of the or
ders issued by the police and COM
plants are liable to be made.

$2I3,439.55 FOR
MIODLESEX SCHOOLS.
Special to the EVENING NEWS: !:

TRENTON, Feb. 6:-Middlesex
county will receive $213,439.55 from
the apportionment of school money
for this year The apportionment
has just been made by the State
Board of Education. 1t includes the
money apportioned by the state
comptroller under last years Perkins
Law devoting to school purposes all
money received from the taxation of
main stem railroad property in ex-
cess of one-half of one per cent. on
such property.
The sum apportioned by the comp
troller is $2,530, ,S6735. The total
amount apportioned by the state
board is $7,04S,945.05, an increase
of ITO per cent. over last year. This
great increase is due to the new law
referred to, and also to an increase of
several million in ratables through
out the state. The result in Middle
sex county of receiving a largely In
creased amount for it's public schools
should result in greatly increased
school facilities in the rural districts
and practically the wiping out in
Perth Amboy' of its present local tax
for state school purposes.
All this presupposes that the Per-
kins law will be upheld by the courts.
