LIQUOR MEN TO
FIGHT NAMING OF
EXCISE COMMITTEE
Engage j. II. Backes to Take
Court Action if Governor
Appoints Commission.

TRENTON. April 1.-THE liquor in
H. Backes to move in the courts if an
attempt is made by Governor Fort to
appoint an excise investigating com
mission under authority OF the Wake
lee concurrent resolution, which went
to the Governor as passed, without go
ing through the House.
The Governor says he is not worried
and cites the language of the emer-
gency fund paragraph of the %appropria-
ton bill. which he drafted, and which
provides for an appropriation of 100000
for the Governor, to enable him to
meet any emergency and to V any
incidental expense OF commissioners
appointed by him under statute OF in
his discretion. The last three words
were never in an appropriation bill
before.
The Governor has about decided to
appoint on his executive authority.
Such a commission would have no
authority to subpoena witnesses.
More evidence of gross errors and
Irregularities in the handling of bills
came to light today when Senator Avis
discovered hat his bill, 29S. which VAS
signed by Governor Fort last week,
never reached the House and was not
signed by the speaker. Like some
other measures, it went directly to the
Governor from Secretary Howard Ty-
Ter. of the Senate, being certified as
passed. The bill is a supplement to
the borough act of 1897, and aims tc
prevent issuance of ten-year 6 per cent.
water certificates.

~EX-COMMISSIONER M'ADOO
TALKS IN LOCAL CHURCH.

William McAdoo, formerly police com
missioner of New York city, told an
audience last night in the Sixth Pres
byterian Church of police conditions in
thai city and the difficulties With which
Newark would have to cope before an
ideal police department would be ostab-
lished in this city.
Chief among the points raised 10y Mr..
McAdoo was that the law would be en-
forced only as far as the majority of
citizens want IL enforced; that the
calibre of the police force was a ba-
rometer TO the morals of the city, and
that the most serious obstacle in the
way of a perfect department was moral
weakness, rather than physical fear.

Jury would be called on to plead next

1t was also reported that the trial OF
the accused men would be set down fol-
an early day, probably next week.
1t is understood that Mr.. Nugent viii
ask that his trial be before a STRUCK

possibility of him asking for a change
of venue, so as to have the trial in some
other county. The inference would be
that the jury selected in this county
might be prejudiced.

WOMAN 8O'FiGHTS"
RICH COAL FIRM
To SAVE HER HOME
Chancery Again Grants Weeks
Grace TO Mrs. Wilson in
Long Suit.
SIGNED MORTGAGE TO
SAVE SON NOW DEAD
Octogenarian Who Built Home
from Savings as Servant
Fears Its Loss.

While lawyers fight over the savings
honor of her son, now dead, Mrs. Jane
Wilson. of III James street. is waiting
from week to week for the dreaded
order of the court which will turn her
home over to strangers and place her
III the street. A weeks grace was
again granted today by Vice-Chancellor
Emery.
Mrs. Wilson Is so years of g She
has outlived the friends of her youth
and is today alone and helpless. She
buried her husband four years ago;
Just q year before her only son, Samuel,
died. The only living relative she has,
her S-year-old ~grandchild, is not al
lowed TO see her.
Like many another sui in equity.
Mrs. Wilson'S present trouble had its
origin in a mortgage.
The mortgage which is the basis of
the contest was given in 1901 by Mrs.
Wilson and her husband Samuel, as a
guarantee of the payment of a debt
due by their son to Whitney & KIM
merer, big coal men of Philadelphia.
Mrs. Wilson says she knew but little Of
business matters and didn't realize that
she was signing away her home. Her
son promised to pay the money he
owed, but was prevented from so doing
by death.
II worked in service many. many
years. and saved and stinted and al
most starved to buy my home" said
Mrs. Wilson today. Now in my old
age they want to take it from me. |
only want TO have it till I die. I can't
take it with me, and, as the end is not
far away at most. / had hoped to
spend my declining years in peace. But

FRED G. RICE
PASSES AWAY

Fred G. Rice, one of the pioneer rail
road men of this country. died at his
home in Pocatello last Sunday night.
TIE funeral services were held las t
Tuesday afternoon. In speaking of Mr.
Rice the Pocatello Tribune says:
Few men in locatello were better
kno"n and more highly respected than
Fred G. Rice. For the past % years Q
had been connected with the Oregon
Short Line railroad company in the ca
pacities of freight brakeman, freight
conductor, passenger brakeman and
passenger conductor.
He leaves wife, one son and one
daughter to mourn the loss of one of the
best husbands and fathers the sun ever
shone ON.
It was in 1870 that Fred Rice first
began his railroad career. At that time
he was brakemsn on the old Central
Pacific, running west from Ogden, and
was later promoted to conductorship.
Still later he served as trainmaster of
his division and in recognition of his
exceptional ability and close attention
TO duty was promoted to the division
uperintendency. When the old e. P.
went into the hands of the u. p, Mr..
Rice resigned and came to the Oregon
Short Line, IN 1856, and began at the
bottom again, braking on a fr' i yht
| our of Pocatello. He soon was raised to
conductorship and in short time
YVES promoted to the passenger service.
For manv years he has been familiar
figure on Short Line passenger trains in
and out of Pocatello and every man W, G
knew him was his friend.
| Mr.. Rice was prominent mem ba1
of the Masonic lodge of this city, and
of Gate City Commandery, Knights OF
| Templar, of which he was past emin-
| emit commander.
The immediate cause of Mr.. Rice's
death was cancer of the stomach, FIR, m
which he had been suffering for num-
Der of years
