SESSION WILL LAST
TO END OF MONTH.

TRENTON, Mar 13:-The house
yesterday agreed in the senate con-
current resolution accepting the audit
of the books of State Treasurer Frank
| o. Briggs and releasing him and his
surety from further responsibility.
also indorsing the bond of Daniel S.
! Voorhees,, the new state treasurer.
The Gebhardt bill providing for
passes on railroads for high state
officials was reported TO the senate
yesterday with amendments requiring
free transportation for all state off
GERS and for members of the county
tax boards.
The senate committee on Riparian
Rights gave a hearing on the Geb-
hardt bill, forbidding further grants
in perpetuity and requiring short
term leases. Senator Gebhardt urged
favorable report on the bill for the
protection of the state school inter-
ests in riparian lands. He was OPP
posed by George B. Holmes and w.
Holt, a passenger railroad attorney,
who held that there should be no re-
port on the bill until the riparian in
Ivestigating committee has reported.
A hearing was also given on the
Wakelee bill to permit township COM
mittees to make appropriations
where they have been neglected at an
annual meeting. The bill was amend
ed so as not to conflict with the Hill
lery maximum tax rate act, and was
passed in that form. Senators Hill
lery and Avis led the fight to save the
maximum tax act from interference.
Following the dilatory tactics that
have prevailed from the very begin
ming of the session, both the senate
and the house were very tary in get
ting down to business yesterday, it
being nearly noon before the gavels
fell for order, although the opening
hour had been fixed at half-past ten
o'clock. After the members had
finally assembled at their desks busi-
ness was transacted with consider
able rapidity, but this continued tar
diness promises TO prove fatal to
hopes for an early adjournment. The
Indications now are that the lawmak-
ers will be here at least until the
last of March, if not during the first
week in April, instead of getting
away on March 22, as had been
planned.
Among the bills passed in the SEN
ate yesterday was one by Senator
Brown to permit Long Branch to is
sue bonds to the extent of $4,000
for beach front improvements. This
is in line for the making of a greater
Long Branch. The senate also pass
ed vote of thanks TO DR.. Carlos E.
Godfrey, of the ad1utant generals
office, for definitely locating the site
in this city of the continental con-
gress.
The house passed the house bill
to amend the game laws so as to
make the open season for geese, duck
and swan from October / to January
/. and for other game birds from July
15 to January /, the object being to
prohibit winter Shooting. There was
considerable opposition to the meas
ure, but it finally got through. Both
houses transacted a lot of routine
business and then met in joint ses-
sion for the election of the balance
of the commissioners of deeds not
named two weeks ago.

AS the last witness of the day the

have been introduced in evidence. The
photographer was employed by Stan

Mr. Delmas objected on the ground
that the evidence tended to contradict
Mrs Thaw's story and was not per-

to take advantage of the waiver Mr..
Delmas had made mt the beginning Of
the trial in regard to rebutting Mrs

Mr. Jerome fairly shouted the last

he has given such emphasis of voice
