Chairman of Assembly Health
Committee Introduces Bill Mod
flying Overlook Proposal.
GIVES MORE LEEWAY TO
FREEHOLDERS' BOND ISSUE
Substitute for Essex Assembly
mans Measure Would OBJ
viate Direct Tax Plan.
s[From a Stan Correspondent

TRENTON, March 3,-Henry G.
Hines, as chairman of the House COM
mittee on public health, today intro
'duced a committee substitute for the
bill of John F. Clark to permit the
Board of Freeholders in Essex to raise
more funds thar the law now allows
for the completion of the seventeen
asylum buildings at Overlook.
Under the Clark bill the Freeholders
could raise SAL 900 by bond issue, be-
sides the S2,2O6, 900 already authorized,
and could dispose of the South Orange
avenue asylum property, worth a quar-
ter of a million more.
The substitute gives authority to the
F~reeholders to issue $4,000 of bonds
instead of basing the additional amount
to be raised on county tax ratables.
The substitute requires that when the
South Orange avenue property is sold
it shall either be considered a part of
the $S50.000 AUTHORIZED or placed in the
sinking fund.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL CLERKS
BUSY LISTING PROXIES.
Delayed Annual Meeting of the
Stockholders Will Be Held in
Chicago Late This Afternoon.

CHICAGO, March 3.-Aided by a
large force of clerks, the proxy COM
mittee Of the Illinois Central Railroad
stockholders labored hard this morning
to complete it's work in time for the
meeting this afternoon.
No intimation of the standing of the
roads affairs, as revealed by the proxy
list, came from the room where the
committee was at work, the only word
being that the listing of proxies would
probably be completed later in the
day. when the annual meeting of the
roads stockholders ~reconvenes.
With the suit instituted by H. w
Leman relegated to the docket of the
Superior Court of Cook County by
Judge Balls adverse decision of yes
terday and the proxy committee ready
to report, it is thought that all OBJ
stacles to the contamination of tbs
annual meeting of shareowners have
been overcome.

BOGUS COUNTESS
FA|NTS At HEARING
3-YEARS' SENTENCE
COnstabIes Carry Woman Thief
and Swindler from the
Courtroom.

Fat, more than 40, and not fair, Mrs.
Mary De Anderson, also known as
Mary McCarton and the Countess
was sentenced to three years in State
Prison by Judge Ten Eyck in the
Court of Quarter Sessions, late yester-
day afternoon for swindling and steal
ing.
AS soon as the last words of the SEN
tence had left the lips of the judge
the woman, following her old-time tao
tics, emitted a series Of shrieks that
echoed and reechoed through the cor
ridors of the Court House.
Then, still pursuing her old-time tao
tics, she apparently tainted dead away.
At least, she fell back into the chair on
which she had sat weeping n wall
ing for several hours, and would not
bulge.
The result was that two constables
carried her, chair and all, into the
women's pen, there to wait the arrival
of the vulgar, van hat carried her tc
jail with a crowd of other crooks.
Judge Ten Eyck commented caus-
tically upon the woman's ~swindlins
p~ropensities before he made the pun
ishment fit the crime.
Tradesfnen of Nutley, where she las
flourished on her now lost nerve, made
the complaints of swindling, and Mrs
Elliott, in whose house she lived re
CARELESS of expense to other people
made the charge of Larceny.

SHAKE NOT YOUR

ME-, SAYS SENATOR
And, Moreover, Mr.. Hand, OF
Cape May, Is Going to Shoot
All the Game He Finds.

TRENTON, March 3.-Senator Rob
ert Hand, of Cape May County, last
night objected, in the Senate, to the
imposition Of license fees on. hunters.
He represents a country section where

sition to the bill when Senator Wake
lee, of the fish and game committee,
reported Senate bill No. $50 with an
amendment to make 81 the tax on
resident hunters instead of ~ as in
the original bill.
Mr.. Hand sees no justice in any tax,
and he announced that if the bill be-
came a law he would personally test
its constitutionality.
Senator Frelinghuysen, of Somerset,
thought the tax ought 10 be SO at least.
and so did Senator Gebhardt, of Hun
terdon. Messrs. Brown and Price, of
Monmouth and Sussex. respectively,
and Mr.. Hand were against any tax
whatever.
IF l go over to a friends and shoot
for a day I've got to pay a tax; is that
ftp inquired Mr.. Hand.
"Well, you mark my words" he said.
'This is the beginning of the end OF
game laws in New Jersey. I'm against
'em. If I find game I'm going to shoot
it.
81 have got nerve enough to test this
game law, and I'll do 1t, too. If you
pass 1t.
"We get so much foolish game legis.
lation that it's getting mopotonous in
my part of the State"

in COrporations-To Prohibit
Revival of Companies.
s[From a san correspondent.l

TRENTON, March 3.-Leader Martin
introduced two bills in the Assembly in
addition to the Governors corporation
bill.
The former is intended to prevent the
recurrence of a situation which Jersey
City fought, where a trolley company.
which became possessed of a defunct
franchise, revived and perpetuated it
under the trolley act of 1898, the courts
deciding that a leasing company with
a perpetual franchise extends it's rights
to all it's holdings.
The first bill repeats the law of 1875,
which gives one company the right to
lease it's franchise to another company,
and the second bill provides that the
traction act shall not operate to revive
or perpetuate any franchise hat may
be procured by any corporation formed
under the act.
1t further provides hat the amend
ment shall not be construed to con-
firm any construction which may have
been placed upon II transaction
previously made under the traction act.
