BREACH WITH
FORT GROWING
Legislators Refuse to Respect
His Wishes as to Reforms
Open Rupture Likely.
NO FEAR FoR COWS. POWER

TRENTON, Mar. 11:-The breach
between Governor Fort and the legis-
lature is widening and an open rup-
ture is imminent The senate and
house are disregarding most of the
governors requests and travelling
along In their own way. Most of the
executive appointments for 1908
have been made and confirmed, and
the solons in the main are taking it
for granted that Mr.. Fort will be
nominated for vice president by the
republican party, so that there will
be a new man in the governors chair
next year.
Although Majority Leader Martin,
in the house, asked for the passage
of the governors primary bill Mon
day night on the ground that Mr..
Fort wanted it to go through, the
measure was sent back to committee
by vote of 81 to 10. This in spite
of verbal agreement through Mr..
Martin and written message sent to
both houses last week.
The senate committee on munich
pal corporations, made up of Sena-
tors Minch, of Cumberland, president
of last years senate; Bradley, of
Camden, and Hfnchliffe, of Passaic,
Monday night reported a public -utili-
ties commission bill, striking from 1t
some of the provisions intended to
carry out the promises made by Gov
ernor Fort on the stump, and urged
on the legislature in his inaugural
address.
Both houses are lined up against
the governors excise bills. Civil
service reform is to be smothered or
so weighted down in the assembly
that the governors ideas will not be
recognized in any bill that may pass.
Yesterday afternoon there was a
bitter fight before the governors
waterway department bill was passed
In the assembly by close vote. The
bill had passed the senate and was
lying dormant in house committee
when the governor sent in a special
that brought it out for de-
bate yesterday
There are breakers ahead, and un-
less the executive and the legislature
get together, it is doubtful if many
reform bills will get through. What
the legislature wants isn't likely to
meet with the gubernatorial approx
al, and the legislature is not doing
what the governor has stated to be
his desires.

CHANGE THE
+ STREET LAMPS

Superintendent Hufnagle, of the
ublic Service Corporation's light
department, had gang of men work
ing all day yesterday and last night,
changing the street arc lights to new
ones of considerably higher amper-
age. By tonight 102, which is about
half the number Of lamps in the city,
will have been changed. The former
lamps were OF &C. amperes and the
new ones are 7.5. The increase in
the candlepower will be about So.
Mr.. Hufnagle is of the opinion that
each lamp will give sixty per cent.
more light than the old.
This change is much due to the
efforts of Mr.. Hufnagle, who effected
a similar change in Plainfeld recent
ly. His men and a member of the
Board of Aldermen inspected the old
lights recently.

SAFEGUARDS
Heads Of City Departments Call
ed Together by Mayor to Con-
slider Important Question
BUILDINGS DECLARED UNSAFE

Mayor Bollschweiler has called q
conference of the Board of Alder
men. Health Board, chief of police,
chief Of the fire department and
other officials, for tomorrow night,
for the purpose of discussing fire
protection in buildings used by the
public.
At the present time, it is not
known just whom the matter rests
with. 1t is declared that many build
ings, churches, and amusement
places in this city have walls, ceilings
and stairways of pine wood. The
doors open outward all right, but the
stairways are narrow. In most cases
the buildings have only one entrance,
and, in case of fire, II this should be
shut off, many lives would be lost.
A man who is interested in the
question spoke of the moving picture
places in this city, where the en-
trance is at the front of the building.
The machine is at this end, and, il
a fire should break out, the result
might be stampede.
