EXPELLED FROM HALL
DRIVEN FROM THE
NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.

TRENTON, N. j., March 20.-For the first
time in, the history of the New Jersey legis-
lature preacher has been driven of the
floor of the house. This was the punish
ment inflicted yesterday afternoon on the
Rev j. Frank Burke, secretary of the New
Jersey Anti-Saloon League, because of his
charges of conspiracy made against Assem-
blymen Perkins, Klenert and Alexander for
the failure of the house judiciary commit
tee, of which they were a majority. to re-
port the local option bill introduced at the
instance of the league.
Mr. Burke failed to substantiate his
charges and this was the punishment de-
cided upon by the house Assemblyman
Morris of Sussex county demurred, holding
that the clergyman was being made a
martyr, but his motion to reduce the pun
ishment to public censure received only
half dozen votes, and expulsion was for
mally decided upon.
Leaves the Gallery.
When the verdict was announced Mr..
Burke was seated IN the visitors gallery.
He arose without comment and hurried
from the capitol. The next moment Messrs.
Perkins, Alexander and Klenert returned
to their seats and were heartily cheered.
The exit of Mr.. Burke was not attended
by any demonstration. He was at the state
house alone save for the presence of his
lawyer. No minister appeared in behalf OF
the anti-saloon men, although the time and
place Of the hearing had been widely ad-
vertised.
Assemblyman Barber, the republican lead
err, acted as chairman of the session. Both
sides were represented by counsel Attor-
ney General McCarter appeared for the &C
cused assembl ymen. Mr.. Burke attempted
to substantiate his charges by telling OF
conversations he had with the Judiciary
committee on the local option bill Messrs.
Jones of Camden and Wright OF Essex, ne
said, were ready to report the measure but
Messrs Perkins, Klenert and Alexander
would not declare themselves. and the meas
ure was not reported.
MeSsrS. Perkins, Klenert and Alexander
denied under oath all conspiracy to XIII the
bill. They said it was not reported because
Mr. Burke had admitted to them that ne
had no hopes Of securing its passage, but
only wanted to get it on the floor to put the
members, especially the republicans, on rec
ord so the information could be used Tor
prohibition campaign purposes next IAN.
They said they would not lend themselves 10
such lobby methods. Under cross-eXaml-
nation Mr. Burke admitted that he was not
a resident of New Jersey; that he was sent
here from the west by the National anti
Saloon League and that ne was SUBJECT "
removal on order.
Letters passing between Mr.. burke ana
members of the committee were INTRODUCED.
They abounded in uncomplimentary IAN
euage on both sides. Assemblymen Tu-
multy and Sullivan Of Hudson and Crow
ther of Middlesex made strong speeches.
against the methods of Mr.. Burke, charac-
terizing him as scandal monger ana an
unfair lobbyist.
